Abolish ICE is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

A dark landscape with the sun starting to rise and mist running over the distant hills. The sky is a mixture of deep orange and yellow with wispy clouds fading into what became a bright blue sunny day. The small bump at the apex of the hill in the center of the frame is Fairy Castle, a 6,000 year old cairn/burial mound. It has never been excavated but is believed to contain a burial chamber.
Worth getting up early for. Dawn over the Dublin hills.

Looking across a leafy hiking path through a forest blanketed in mist. The sun struggling up over the hill beyond the forest.
It was misty up in the forest yesterday.

Looking across a leafy hiking path through a forest blanketed in mist. The sun struggling up over the hill beyond the forest.
A paved road in the countryside running between two forests. The road is shrouded in mist from a thick cloud sitting on the mountain. A yellow road sign indicating a curve ahead is just about visible showing just how dense the fog is.
Take me away. A country road at the edge of Dublin.

A narrow grass path through pine trees shrouded in thick fog. Brown ferns line the path on either side as the forest disappears into the fog.
Walking the old paths through the forest. Another moody shot from the misty woods.

A serene, slightly ethereal, dreamlike scene with tall, textured trees in the mist. The nearest trees show intricate patterns with detail fading and falling away with heavy fog closing in. A thick layer of leaves covers the ground of an old rarely used hiking path.
Adventures in the fog from an Irish forest.

A view across a frozen field of gorse. A mountain rises at the far edge of the field but is obscured by mist and fog. A beautiful eerie looking day but not one to be climbing mountains.
Feeble light and a palette of icy blue on a cold, cold morning in #Dublin mountains. A silvery blue sea of gorse with a layer of frozen dew disappearing into the distance, merging with the mist. No hiking that day. π₯Ά

Standing at a small clearing, a break in the canopy thick with fog. The rest of the forest barely visible as a low cloud sweeps through carrying the first rains of the day. Faint shades of green and grey, some trees looking almost sepia toned. A close, overgrown hiking path weaves through decaying winter brown ferns stacked on the ground.
Another view of an Irish forest through a blanket of fog. Best hike of the year so far.

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
& the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
