Had a fairly interesting life, did some stuff, went some cool places, made some things, and now I'm old.
Funny how that works...

Previous one was north-south profile viewed from the west

This is east-west viewed from the north

Useful for comparing effects of erosion on the two faces

Hold on thar, pardner!

Who said those "tomahawks" promised to Ukraine were missiles?

No siree Bob! And he's sending/deporting people to wield them, too!

The following graphic is educational and informative - e/i

For instance, did you know the planets are all men?

Venus had us fooled but turns out to be just a drag queen

Here in North Florida humans used to live alongside elephants (mastodons and mammoths), giant ground sloths, and saber-tooth tigers - until they hunted them to extinction 🤦😳

Timeline cleanse...

St Marks at the lighthouse, 1970

Only some of the pilings remain today

Unfortunately I lost the original in a hard drive crash long ago 😳

I don't have to... (more where this came from)

Please don't try to claim an exception due to the Sun. The sky is darker toward the horizon, which is what started this

The failure of oligarchs,, billionaires, and traitors to understand the cycles of history means they are ignorant of where the consequences of their actions lead

It doesn't repeat, it echoes...

This is from **2013** folks

And yes it *did* ultimately prove fatal

This is from 2013 and I *think* it's my work

That's freaking *twelve years* ago

What do you see?

Man's best friend come to the aid of a human in distress?

No, not this time

The spiritual forebears of ICE on the streets of Birmingham?

Fascism in America sixty years ago?

It's always been here...

So Friday we saw what happens when a Puppet POTUS tries to yank the puppeteer's strings

Puppet got slapped down hard

The whole world saw it, then saw the Russian President give orders to the American President, who immediately said "Yes sir!"

A dark day, and I have an exclusive photo from inside

That's kind of just it

The lighthouse and landscape are fairly static, so the sky (and good composition) is often the star of the show

Here's my b&w one from 1970, one in which the lighthouse *is* the star 🙂
