My favourite windmill shot of the year! Beautiful sunrise, mist, and 2 running horses right in front. Couldn't get any better :)

My sister's battle with an aggressive form of breast cancer has made this a very difficult year. More than 6 months of chemo plus surgery, and while doctors are hopeful, she's still got more chemo and radiation to go.

"When Inez came out of the water she was crying with the tiniest voice. I wasn't expecting her voice. To have a whole new person with their own voice in your arms… We live in a world that is so magical, something as mind blowing as birth is quotidian."

Ari Kwon's surreal, ethereal work visualizes the gap between an outwardly happy appearance and the private feelings of loss, anxiety, and deviation that individuals often hide.

"When life feels chaotic & unfathomable, pause & listen. Listen to the murmur of the trees, the rushing chatter of a river, the birds weaving melodies into the wind. In these moments, you may hear the quiet wisdom of the world & your own place within it.”

A beautiful arche shaped iceberg that we found in Disko Bay early August during one of our late night sailing.

To give you an idea the mast of the boat is around 30 meters high 😵‍💫⛵️🧊… This piece of ice was massive.

Sometimes we found some really big icebergs while sailing in Greenland…
Beautiful soft moment during endless sunset.

The California impressionists applied the techniques of impressionism to paint mostly the beautiful landscape of California's coast.

Spent most of the summer assisting my sister as she goes through chemo and radiation for breast cancer. It sucks, but I was glad I had some time available to help.
I'm back now. Did I miss anything?

They're literally trying to create the Thought Police in the USA.
We live in a different time from just five years ago. You can really be punished by the state for not having the right thoughts.

"It is the treating of the commonplace with the feeling of the sublime that gives to art its true power."

Jean-Francois Millet

Hugh Cameron was a Scottish painter who, like Millet, specialized in painting the beauty of the commonplace.

In honor of the election of Pope Leo IV today I present what is widely considered the greatest works of art depicting a Pope.
Fittingly, that is Raphael's portrait of Pope Leo X, painted between 1518 & 1520.

"Paintings are not primarily there to be explained, but to be looked at. And there are paintings where trying to explain makes no sense because the meaning of the painting is different from that expressed by language."

@profdfhesq.bsky.social Hi there.
I'm not a lawyer, but isn't the reason that SCOTUS allows deportation without full due process like a criminal trial because they ruled it a civil procedure that doesn't deprive them of life liberty or property?
And weren't these deportees all deprived of liberty?
