Several very colorful Pelicans hanging out on a barge in Santa Barbara Harbor

When I first got to Santa Barbara 669 days ago I started shooting 8 bazillion Pelican photos. I slowed down a lot this year(after seeking professional help lol) but here's one I got in the harbor that I dig!

I am impressed by the lengths you went to show how much snow there was.

Weather here in England, and probably the whole UK is
at its best grim. These were the pending clouds a few days back.

The Canadian Rockies are home to some of earth's most spectacular mountain scenery. Radiating clouds reflect the last light of day onto turquoise Peyto Lake & the mountains of the Endless Chain which, true to their name, end at the edge of the world.

Georgian Bath? How about Brutalist Bath!

Sign the petition to save the fabulous little Church of the Good Shepherd in Batheaston (1966-67) from demolition, and allow the local community to buy it instead.

Flooded and forgotten: the UK’s waters are rising and we’re being kept in the dark | John Harris Rescue operations in Wales, submerged railway lines in Cornwall – these events are ever more common. So why have we utterly failed to prepare, asks Guardian columnist John Harris

β€œOur greatest natural hazard is flooding, and we don’t prepare people for it”. We absolutely should. This is urgent. Another good reason to sign this petition calling for a National Climate Resilience plan - please do sign & share @climatemajority.bsky.social

I found this little tree outside the Cloisters at Lacock Abbey last week. The last of the leaves will have left tree by now, as storm Claudia hit yesterday afternoon.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
