You have to give this administration credit for its transparency.

They don't even TRY to hide it.

This time last year I took a drive with my folks to see Alaska's Fall colors. The Talkeetna mountains were dusted with snow. This is near Indepence Mine and Hatcher Pass. Enjoy a peaceful moment this #MountainMonday.

having grown up at the beach, I've always looked at seagulls as rats with wings (ie: ocean pigeons), but when you take a closer look, they're actually quite striking

some of my favorite surf shots involve waves crashing on and around people. Is that wrong? 🤔

he's not wrong - this administration is very transparent with their corruption...they don't even try to hide it.

This black and white photograph captures a dramatic, low-angle perspective of a tall coniferous tree, emphasising its grandeur and intricate details against a bright, almost ethereal sky. The composition is dominated by the massive trunk, which tapers upwards towards the unseen crown, guiding the viewer's eye along its textured surface. The bark of the tree is richly textured, with visible ridges, furrows, and small knots and scars, all accentuated by the monochrome palette. The lack of colour highlights these surface details, creating a tactile impression and a sense of age and resilience. Numerous branches, both thick and thin, extend outwards from the trunk at various angles, forming a complex, almost web-like network against the bright background. These branches, devoid of visible leaves in this black and white rendering, appear stark and skeletal, especially towards the top, where they become finer and more numerous, creating a sense of organic complexity. The lighting is coming from above and behind the tree, silhouetting the branches and highlighting the textures on the sun-facing side of the trunk. The bright sky at the top of the frame contrasts sharply with the darker tones of the tree, adding to the dramatic effect and creating a sense of depth and scale. Subtle variations in light and shadow across the bark reveal its three-dimensionality and rugged character. The low-angle viewpoint creates a powerful and awe-inspiring effect, making the tree seem monumental and stretching endlessly towards the heavens. The composition evokes a sense of solitude and quiet contemplation, as the tree stands as a singular, imposing figure against the vastness of the sky. The black and white treatment further enhances this mood, lending a timeless and artistic quality to the image, and inviting the viewer to appreciate the raw beauty and structural elegance of nature. The overall impression is one of strength, resilience, and natural majesty.

Friday's here once again meaning it's #Scape day my #Bluesky friends.

Have fun!

Sparty 🖤🤍
