The #Glow of the #Aurora Borealis at the Garður Old Lighthouse on the #Reykjanes Peninsula on #Iceland. Very cold outside, but this scene made me warm on the inside!

The Garður Old Lighthouse with the glowing Aurora Borealis beyond. From the left of the image, a path leads us to the lighthouse. The lighthouse is no longer in use, but is clearly visible even in low light because the new lighthouse, behind the viewer, is shining its light on it. A layered display of Northern lights, with spikes streaking up into the sky where a faint band of purple light is also visible. The Garður lighthouse is located on the Reykjanes Peninsula near the Keflavik airport on Iceland.

Here are some photos from day one of the Salkantay hike. 16 miles up to Humantay Lake, then all uphill over a 15,500 foot pass, then the last 8 miles all downhill towards the jungle.

Dawn spills wine across the tide.
Purple flames where shadows hide.
A lone lighthouse keeps its vow.
Guarding dreams the night leaves now.
Rocks gleam like whispered prayer.
Seaweed braids the salted air.
Day awakens, slow and grand.
Hope is reflected on the sand.

Rockpools just before the dawn at St. Marys Lighthouse in the UK.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

No season of mists and mellow fruitfulness just yet – feeling almost summer-like on Sunderland's coast in North East England. My local seafront, taking in Roker Pier and Lighthouse at the mouth of the River.

All it takes for me to #Relax... being out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but mountains, forests, meadows, fresh air, quiet

One of my favorite things to do to #relax is to drive around with my husband and see what I can find to take pictures of. A tranquil scene from a recent trip.
