Snowshrooms
Wandering around local a woodland that is very picturesque in the snow, I struggled to find a wider composition that wasn't too busy for my taste. Sometimes you just have to look closer!

Let's Not Pollute This Place
The title is simply how I feel about the BWCA, especially in light of Resolution 140, which if passed by Congress will allow toxic sulfide-ore copper mining to move forward immediately upstream.

Definitely the 1st. The details of the house are the main attraction. The lights are great but don’t need to be sharp.

Only the filter is cracked I think.

Thanks John!

Yes, on an Epson V800 with the Epson fluid mount. Wet mounting is kind of time consuming, but my volume is pretty low so it works for me.

Thank you!

Thank you Peter!

Thanks!

Pincushion Flame
Receding rain showers over Lake Superior are set ablaze by the setting sun, casting Grand Marais and the forests of Pincushion Mountain in a radiant amber glow that bolster fall foliage.

So rad! You totally nailed down the process.

Big news for the northwoods: Senator Tina Smith just introduced a bill to permanently protect over 225,000 acres near the Boundary Waters from copper-sulfide mining. It’s the first Boundary Waters protection bill in the Senate in nearly 50 years. Hands Off the Boundary Waters!

Wow, pulled it looks so much better than 90% of other Phoenix examples out there. Just the right amount of contrast, with fantastic color!

He’s in for a bad time if he’s not aware just how many people derive joy from that. 🤣

Thanks! New location to me and 5 minutes to set up before the moon was gone so I got super lucky!
