In moments like this, nature reminds us how small we truly are — and how fragile the illusion of control has always been.

A powerful, wide waterfall cascades with immense force over a rocky cliff - the Dettifoss in northern Iceland. In the foreground, a group of small human figures stands on a grassy ledge, dwarfed by the roaring wall of water in front of them. The black-and-white composition emphasizes the contrast between the textured flow of the falls and the stillness of the onlookers, highlighting both the raw power of nature and the humility of human presence.

Good morning, Susan! Wishing you a lovely Wednesday morning 😀. I'm working from home and currently seem to have a lot of wild mushrooms from the weekend drying in the house at the moment 'au natural'. Must get a proper dryer 🙃. I'll take a mug of your finest #bluebrew please!

#Shadow and #light vie for supremacy in Pecoy Notch - hemlocks holding the dark, birches gathering the sun. Between them, a small #waterfall reflects their contest.

Small waterfall flowing over mossy rock into a pool scattered with autumn leaves. The surrounding forest shifts from dark hemlock shade to bright birch canopy glowing with fall color.
