This was a pretty spectacular view to take in the morning. 10/4/24.

#Minnesota #GunflintTrail #landscape #PhotographersUnited

Overlooking a lake from above. The photo is exposed so the pine trees and hills surrounding the lake are nearly black. The sky behind the lake is orange, darker at the horizon and becoming more pale above. The water in the lake reflects blue sky above at the bottom right of the photo and begins to reflect the orange towards the middle. Two small islands are on the lake. Steam is rising off the far end of the lake.

I have really been surprised by the lack of resistance, in all honesty. If this was France, everything would be shut down.

A double header of British goodness today. First, a morning matinee screening of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, followed by an afternoon episode of The Great British Baking Show. With so much awful shit happening in America right now, these good-spirited English vibes are a much-needed tonic.

Wisconsin is a beautiful place, even more so from above. Yesterday, an afternoon flight over the Driftless with friends. What an experience, to see the landscape from on high like this. I've never seen Devils Lake or the Wisconsin River from this perspective. A moving experience.

Tonight’s #moon rising over the hills to the east. Photos at 6:18, sunset is 6:30 so moonrise will be dark tomorrow.
94% illuminated waxing gibbous phase. The bright crater that was on the shadow at 9 o’clock position is well into the light now.
Seen from San Diego county

A view of the almost full moon in a still light sky just before sunset. A tree covered hill is below.

Revolutionary new dryer that runs entirely off of wind and solar energy, making it Energy Star rated and coming in at a cost point of nearly free!

A path leads into a coniferous forest, the sun is setting and its rays filter through the tree trunks.

Local woman wakes up, builds a new pipeline in Alberta that transports money which the UCP was gonna spend on stupid shit into education and healthcare instead, makes oatmeal.

It's also just fucking stupid & naive.

The rest of the world is moving on. China's EV sales just eclipsed the entire US auto sales. Africa just announced a renewables initiative.

Oil is done. And it has to be. Or we all die.

Not a single mention of the billions in renewable projects in Alberta cancelled or put on hold due to ucp policies. Nothing about renewable technology programs. Nothing about diversification away from extraction.

Just oil fucking oil. Same as it ever was.

I am so tired of the ndp "major pipeline projects are a step in the right direction" bullshit.

The planet is on fucking fire.

We have maximum of 25 years to get ghg emissions to 0 to avoid a 4⁰c future. Which is death for everyone.

Read my statement below on behalf of the @albertandp.ca calling on Premier Danielle Smith & Prime Minister Mark Carney to work together to develop a plan that creates good jobs, deliver fair wages and create lasting economic opportunities.
