Tonight’s sunset. One of the best I’ve ever seen. Ocean Beach, San Diego, California

#SanDiego #sunset #OceanBeach #landscapelovers #surfing

Silhouette of a surfer carrying a surfboard along wet sand at low tide, with a long pier stretching across the horizon. A dense red cloud layer fills most of the sky, breaking into blue near the right edge, while orange light glows near the horizon and reflects in the shallow water.

There’s a reason the political right wants to keep people dumb.

Every American should be demanding answers as to why the Trump Department of Justice was monitoring a journalist investigating Jeffrey Epstein.

This message hits hard.

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

I say his gently, but…

There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.

Not because its government doesn’t fix it —

but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.

That’s the part that sits wrong.

A moody, vertical shot of a dense forest path where dark, silhouetted trees with tangled, leafless branches arch over a dirt track. Brilliant beams of sunlight pierce through the upper canopy, creating distinct, misty rays that cut through the shadows and illuminate the forest floor in a dramatic display of contrast.

FLOAT

once upon a churning sea
a memory of my father’s
advice to me
In times like these just float
and rise above the foam
Just Float
and ride it out
Just Float
we can get through it
Just Float

Crystal Pier shortly after sunset at Pacific Beach in San Diego, California

#sandiego #sdca #pacificbeach #beach #surfing #sunset #sunsetchasers #ocean #crystalpier #landscapes_lovers #photography

A long wooden pier called Crystal Pier, located at Pacific Beach in San Diego, California, stretches from left to right just after sunset, and is outlined with warm string lights. The pier’s dark supports reflect clearly in smooth, wet sand, while the sky fades from deep blue overhead to a band of gold along the horizon.

Light Through the Darkness. #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #monochrome #forestlovers #woodland #naturecapture #moody #atmospheric #pathway #trees #branches #contrast #naturelover #smartphonephotography #photography

A vertical black and white photograph depicting a dirt path winding through a dense, dark forest. The perspective is framed by dark tree trunks in the foreground, looking through a tunnel created by hundreds of tangled, bare branches arching overhead. Bright white light shines from the far end of the path, creating a high-contrast silhouette against the intricate texture of the wood and the rough ground below.

I always thought the first time I had a chance to see and photograph the Aurora it would be somewhere like Iceland, or Alaska. I was wrong. It was in New Mexico! 😂

And if you look closely, you can see a bit of the Milky Way up above as well.
