Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

New documents shed light on Renee Good’s ties to ICE monitoring efforts in Minneapolis | CNN The woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week served on the board of her son’s school, which linked to documents encouraging parents to monitor ICE and directing them to training.

In other words, nothing sinister; just legal, peaceful protest and civil disobedience, as was her constitutional rights.

Let’s see, Venezuela take over, and wanting to take Greenland and at home he’s storming states with shock troops. Clearly we have an idiot in office that will kill us all.

The time to study history was 2020, the failed coup. If you recall, hitler went to jail for that, trump did not.
Now he's got power again, and is suggesting “the Enabling Act”. He's already abducted the leader of a neighbouring country and has sights on another. Wake up, it’s the fourth reich.

People's Dispatch: "Tens of thousands of people across India continued to mobilize on Wednesday, January 7, the fourth consecutive day, in opposition to the US aggression in Venezuela and the abduction of its president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife Cilia Flores.

"Fake law enforcement" is the perfect way to describe the masked ICE kidnappers that are not obeying or upholding the laws of an OATH. They are criminals empowered by a false president of a lifelong Organized Crime spree. All ICE agents should be arrested at the time of the dissolvement of ICE.

Moon photos were meh but I always love night shots. I caught moonrise and bridge shots from Africville Park, one of my favourite neon signs in Halifax, and the Town Clock from Citadel Hill. #halifax #novascotia #photography #novascotiaphotographer
