Democracy dies when cowards cower in daylight.
Keeping my stick on the ice, and listening to singer/songwriters.

Hopper was a master of light and shadow, using them to create a mood, a tension between intimacy and detachment
Edward Hopper's 'Nighthawks': A Poet's commentary
“Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.”

RIP to the great Steve Cropper. Met him once in Memphis, he was kind and low key considering his mountain of hits.

Daily #Wales is back at the Slate Museum today, again hoping the atmosphere survives the revamp…
Looking along a corridor, with soft light coming from windows on the left. The walls of the rooms are whitewashed, and there is a big pulley mechanism next to the opening into the corridor. It looks as though it’s made of wood - it has a soft brown colour and patina.

I had the opportunity to talk to journalists from various media outlets in Manila. They were interested in everything - peace talks, the Russians' use of drones to hunt civilians, what we are doing to return children abducted by Russia, and how Ukrainians organized to resist to RU aggression.

I don’t know, it was just a brilliant sunset last night so I thought I’d share. Have a great day.
Deep orange overcast sky at sunset. With power pole and power lines above a suburban house with white picket fence.

As night length increases in autumn, chlorophyll production slows down until all is destroyed.
The carotenoids and anthocyanin that are present in the leaf are then unmasked and show their amazing colors.
