Don’t clean your screen! Those specks in the sky are all sea birds. Okay, maybe clean your screen, too. Yeah, you’ve got some schmutz there. #photography #monochrome #Iceland #bird

The sun illuminates the curve of the black sand of ⁨Reynisfjara Beach, while the cliffside to the left remains in shadow. The Reynisdrangar sea stacks stand in silhouette. Overhead, puffins and other sea birds shuttle between mainland and ocean.

The petrified remains of a troll, Hvítserkur rises 15 meters from the sea. Geologists would tell you that it is a sea stack composed of basaltic rock, but what fun is that? #photography #Iceland

A dark rock formation resembling a drinking rhinoceros rises from the sea. Behind it, the clouds catch the light of a sun that is beginning to set at 20:30.

Charming storefront of Old Fox Books, a local independent bookstore with black and white striped awning. The Maryland state flag flies above. White wooden facade with large windows showing the interior. Black awning reads ‘BOOKS COFFEE’ and ‘OLD FOX BOOKS’ with tagline story, coffee, and conversation. An ‘OPEN’ sign hangs vertically by the entrance. Outside, wooden crates display books for browsing, along with a decorative READ sign. Dappled sunlight filters through tree leaves onto the sidewalk where a couple walks in the background.

Nice! A little confused. I thought it was offered with a 289 ci and big-block 429 ci. I read that very few opting for the 429 had them past their first payment. This has a 427 badge, a Chevrolet engine? Still drooling🤤

A woman, with a pony tail works intricate detail with a "Rocket Blaster", a tool normally used to blow dust off camera equipment. She is standing on a scaffold platform, a bag of tools hangs on the railing, another group sits on the edge of the platform.

A hidden grotto next to Glaciar el Brujo (the Warlock). The rain adds to the vibe. The glacier is the most stunning so far. #WaterfallWednesday #WaterWednesday

Traditional 12-30. 12 yr-old Scotch over 30,000 yr-old glacial ice, in front of biggest glacier in Southern Hemisphere. Another Patagonia ohh-ah moment: Adding Irish Cream makes it drinkable.

Nevermind $20, a $50 ferry would be an absolute gift for 5.5+ million citzens, plus tourists in BC.

The payers keep paying while the grifters keep grifting.

The pandering is shameful.

A lit boardwalk winds its way between Martian tents and into a gap between rock formations mid-frame. The sky is a deep blue, virtually cloudless and painted with scattered stars. This is a 30-second exposure @ f 9.0

Torre de la Vela rises above Granada, a bell tower and three flags sit atop of the fortress. Below it are groups of people taking in the panoramic view. There are blue skies above, with patches of thin, bright-white clouds.

Standing next to the pebbled Positano beach at the edge of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Houses layer the steep, rocky hillside to a blue sky with ribbons of cloud and a bright sun, burning its way through cloud on the right. Going out for a day bobbing around Capri on the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Good morning, friends!

Imagine a month of Sundays
Each one a cloudy day
Imagine the moment the sun came
shining through
Imagine that ray of sunshine as you

And then understand the kind of gift you are 🎶 J Denver
