Rorschach Test...
Mountains in reflection are like a kind of Rorschach test. I just see calmness now. When I was a kid, the mountains made me feel uneasy, anxious. They were so big. They represented time. I understand time more now. I'm less afraid of it.

Saint-Nicolas is a village in the Aosta Valley at 1200m above sea level with a population of 332 people.
The image shows a forest with trees in typical autumn colors, with leaves ranging from green to deep yellow. In the background, a snow-capped mountain and the village bell tower stand under a partly cloudy sky. A green meadow in the foreground contrasts with the warmer colors of the forest.

'Dividing Lines' (2025) -- in the Eternal Struggle Between Light & Dark, it All Comes Down to a Faith in Balance & a bit of Well Placed Textures, Tidebrook Preserve, Freeport, ME

It's Finally Friday, Let's #SCAPE!! ✨

the frozen banks of the Harraseeket river -- ice on one side and frozen weed and mud and stone on the other, the edge of the forest cuts down through the sky aligning in a diagonal with the frozen edge of the river dividing visually and tonal weight both parts of the image, in the foreground a large log cuts from right to left providing the delicate act of 'balance'

Am I cool? Well, I got up at 5 AM, spent 10p & rode most of Tashkent’s Soviet-era metro system for 5 hours straight. So yes, I am cool, ACTUALLY!

A black and white photo of the Alisher Navoi metro station in Tashkent featuring grand arched columns, patterned floor tiles and geometric ceiling patterns, creating a symmetrical, cathedral-like underground space of light and stone. Almost empty and still, the station waits for the daily rhythm of city life to begin.

A blue subway car waits at the platform under a ceiling adorned with intricate star-shaped and floral designs outlined in blue, reflecting elegant geometric artistry above urban transit.

great thread thank you for sharing🤓class size matters more than we know.

hedy bach @hedybach.bsky.social · 2d

18.7 students in 2023 in primary classes in Finland…Kurt Vonnegut was a passionate advocate for class size reduction: "… we have some of the worst schools in the world…classes are too big. My definition of a utopia is very simple: classes of 15 or smaller – out of this, a great nation can be built.

A powerful lightning bolt strikes the ocean under a dark, stormy night sky. The lightning illuminates the clouds and reflects brightly off the surface of the water, creating a dramatic scene over the sea.

just shadows long in

I snapped this photo of me & my shadow with my walking stick. Earlier, I was reading about Oedipus meeting the Sphinx at the crossroads & correctly answering the riddle of, "what walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon and three at night?" That led to this haiku.

Strati di nuvole dorate dal tramonto sovrastano le abitazioni di un villaggio situato sulla sommità di una collina. Ai margini del prato in primo piano, le foglie cadute di un pioppo risplendono nel buio imminente.

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a group of wild teasels (Dipsacus) in a field landscape. The plants are prominently displayed in the foreground, with their characteristic spiky flower heads and stems visible. The background is blurred and shows more grasses and plants, which draws the focus to the teasels.
