"The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea." — Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Black and white shot of a dark hallway with meandering tiles leading your eyes to the framed opening at the end of the hallway that opens to a beautiful outward with banana plants behind a wood cafe table with one chair. I used my iPhone to take this shot in the Camera+ app and edited in Photoshop Express for iPhone

A red crested bird perches on a bare branch with snow falling around him. He has two big flakes on his black face.

Do I have something on my face?

Raise your arms if you see an aurora. With those instructions, two nights went by with, well, clouds -- mostly. On the third night of returning to same peaks, though, the sky not only cleared up but lit up with a spectacular auroral display. Arms went high in the air, patience and experience paid off, and the creative featured image was captured as a composite from three separate exposures. The setting is a summit of the Austnesfjorden (a fjord) close to the town of Svolvear on the Lofoten islands in northern Norway. The year was 2014. This year, our Sun is just passing solar maximum, the peak in its 11-year surface activity cycle. As expected, some spectacular auroras have recently resulted. Portal Universe: Random APOD Generator

The layers are interesting in this. It seems like it should be two different images

Remember to encrypt the box so nobody can see how many slices have been taken

Wow, this is a neat shake-up of your usual style. Cool👍🏻

That sounds like a really good idea. I'm definitely guilty of neglecting local news

I liked it. They got the comedy style right, so it's exactly what you expect it to be (with the exception of one particular scene you may have already heard about)

SPROING !! I love colors, but some images benefit from monochrome impact. #photography #blackandwhite #plants #fractals

今日は午後からちょっと晴れたので散歩しながら鳥撮りに行ったんだけど、あんまり出会いがなかった感じ。
これは遠目で見たときはスズメだと思ったけど、多分カワラヒワかな？
こういうのもっと近くで撮りたいなあ…

They almost defaulted on $2Bn and only escaped by selling company equity. A business doesn't cut its core activities to the bone like this when it's financially healthy. They're clawing back from the cliff edge by chopping off limbs to shed weight.

Wow. Really throwing a Hail Mary to stay solvent.

This photo shows my hands after a day of painting and decorating with completely coated fingernails and cracked paint covering my skin.

really nice and grim today

Is this satire? It feels like satire.

Is it US only?

A Tufted Titmouse flying through the snow. It's silvery wings are spread out in a downward motion.

Hm, neat. It will be nice if they keep the promise of weeding out bots.

How active is it currently, being invitation only?

(Delete that stray "about")

A big part of the underlying reason for me is shameful: my attention span is dead and about good movies require attention.

When I watch a film, it's usually on my phone while walking on a trail because the only way to stay off my phone while watching a movie is to watch it *on the phone*.

A frost flower has spread out from three sides of the stem of a dittany plant in swoops and swirls and even a small curl encircling the stem.

This frost flower has made a single elegant circle from one spot on the dittany plant.

Frost flowers, many origins vs one.

Every grid has points of vulnerability but given that similar has happened in the USA, ongoing hybrid threats from RU, and Ukr's skills with ad hoc repairs, Germany did not need to be so unprepared. They could've guarded the weak points expecting trouble from RU and they could've prepped for repairs
