This view at Abbotts Lagoon this morning was so captivating. #MarinCounty #Landscape #Coast
A sandy beach punctuated by small dunes, with a sliver of a blue lagoon in the distance framed by low coastal mountains. The blue sky showcases wispy translucent clouds and the sun with a jet vapor trail cutting through it.

Cardiff Castle is Overflowing with Interesting Architectural Embellishments.

An Alarmed bird Announces an Armed-but-in-Underwear man is being Eviscerated by an Anatomically Awkward lion.

#PalacesAndGardens #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVForVowels #Details #Architecture #Wales #Photography #Alt-Text
Detail shot of a decorative embellishment added to Cardiff Castle during the Gothic Revival renovation to the medieval castle in the mid 1800s. Wall coverings are in shades of burgundy with many gold details presumably because yellow is for peasants. A border separates two different burgundy patterns. Linear bands of olive green are at the top and bottom. An alternating pattern of blue and pink follows moving inward. At the centre, a blue and green bird is flapping its wings animatedly and calling back to a second blue bird with a pink head. They are standing on green ground with an entirely gold background because of course they are. Decorative mouldings forming the start of an arch on the wall are painted Tiffany blue and a coordinating softer grey-green that looks like it might be paint they had left from Fortnum and Mason. At the base, a man and a lion are engaged in battle. The literally golden-haired man is wielding a sword and shield, but only wearing underwear. The man is looking upwards, presumably regretting the choices leading to this moment. Meanwhile, the 100% gold lion has a clawed paw splayed across the underdressed belly of the man. The lion is grimacing at the prospect of getting guts in the very lovely braid running through his mane. It was probably meant to be a halo, but the monkey who put it in was hanging the wrong way so instead it's a chinstrap. A brown vine/tree with green leaves is wrapped around both figures. It's unclear if they fell into the bush, or if the bush is of the enchanted sort and trying to break up the fight.

“Blue Shift”

An empty tunnel glows like a corridor between worlds, shaped by electric blue and warm amber light.

#UrbanGaze #EastCoastKin #Photography #StreetPhotography
#Leica #Architecture #TrainStation #Australia
A long pedestrian tunnel extends toward a distant stairway, illuminated by vivid blue light that washes over arched concrete walls and ceiling. Warm amber tones run along the floor and the lower bench edges, forming a clean contrast to the cooler hues above. The composition is perfectly centered, guiding the eye straight down the vanishing point, with repeating fixtures, vents, and textures reinforcing the sense of depth. A green exit sign hangs at the apex, marking the far end. The lighting turns a functional passageway into something cinematic—an engineered space that feels more like a portal than a walkway, inviting the viewer to imagine what waits beyond the frame.

The decorations for the holidays are out and about already!

This one is fairly simple, yet is still elegant and beautiful.

Senile Satan, Con Junior and Fredo announced their phone in June, promising delivery in August to commemorate a decade since Satan came down the escalator. Not one phone has been delivered and good luck getting a refund. They took 590,000 deposits totaling $59 million.

TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

They supposedly ended it by ***checks notes** massacring, raping, and enslaving women and children. But they did it very Christianly.

Solid Thursday.

📷🌿🪶
A photo of a Steller's jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) perched on a gray lichen-covered tree branch against a blurred background of yellow and orange autumn foliage. The bird displays its distinctive black crested head and vibrant blue plumage on its wings, back, and tail, while facing to the left and framed by more branches and twigs. A photo of an American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) perched on a thin lichen-covered tree branch with a golden-yellow fall foliage out of focus in the background behind it. It is a very large songbird that is jet black from the tip of its beak to the end of its tail. It is facing the camera with its head turned to the right of the frame. A photo of a California scrub jay (Aphelocoma californica) perched on a wooden fence top with its back to the camera and its head turned to the left of frame, and scattered peanuts on the fence in front of it. The bird features a vibrant blue head, wings, and tail with a gray-brown back and pale gray underside. Light rain is visible in the air around it and the background behind it is soft, blurred greenery.

Hundreds of Western Gulls headed South across the Bay Bridge tonight. I wish I'd gotten more and better photos. It was quite impressive.

Huge group of gulls flying off for shelter for the night. Bay Bridge, San Francisco skyline in the background. Water is gray, branches of pine tree to the left.
