Moonrise over the distant horizon.

The city of Marseille is illuminated by both the streetlights and the moon.

Taken last night. it is rare to find 19th century ruins in a big city but that's exactly what this is. On east 12th Avenue in #Calgary are remnants of the city's first major #hospital, built in 1899. It featured 35 beds, an operating room & a nursing school. #photography #architecture #yyc #history

The primary threat is the consumption of diclofenac-tainted carcasses. Diclofenac, used to treat livestock, is highly toxic to vultures, causing kidney failure and death. White-backed vultures are sometimes hunted for traditional medicine and belief practices, and they are also victims of illegal trade. Climate change and potential food scarcity due to habitat loss and other factors also contribute to the decline. The White-backed Vulture (Gyps africanus) is a Sub-Saharan African vultures species occurring from Mauritania east to Sudan and Ethiopia and south to northern and eastern South Africa.

The White-backed Vulture (Gyps africanus) is classified as critically endangered. This is due to a rapid and severe population decline primarily driven by poisoning from diclofenac, a drug used in livestock.They are also victims of illegal trade.

HulhumalΓ©, Maldives. Sunrise at the 2nd Phase sea wall. In the foreground is a parked scooter. Beyond that there are two people, one sitting on the sea wall boundary and another standing on the rocks and using a rod to fish in the lagoon. Everything is in silhouette. The lagoon is in gold. The reef is in low tide and the corals are showing above water and beyond that the waves crash. Both there too are in silhouette. The sea is simmering in gold and black. The clods in the sky are very faint and some nearly translucent. The sun is shining top center left of the frame. The color around the sun is gold and it darkens to tangerine as it goes further from the sun in a circular fashion. Light halos can be seen around the sun.

Before the sun breaks, dense orange hues stretch across the skyβ€”concentrated at the horizon, diffusing upward into pale gradients. The orange is not decorative; it signals ignition. Below, silhouetted construction trucks and machinery hold scale and function, not blur. Greenery lines the edge of the site, unlit and unsoftened. The orange operates as temporal markerβ€”before emergence, not after.

Dense foliage holds shadow and texture, but a single orange flower interrupts the fieldβ€”bright, exact, unblurred. The orange does not decorate; it punctures. Leaves crowd the frame in layered greens and browns, but the orange remains the visual anchor. It operates as signal, not accentβ€”held against darkness with full consequence.

Morning sun casts dense orange hues across an urban bridge, held between stone archway and distant buildings. The orange is not ambientβ€”it marks directional light, concentrated along railings and streetlamps. Vegetation below the bridge remains in shadow, holding contrast. The archway frames the scene as structural threshold, not ornament. The orange operates as temporal signalβ€”early, exact, rising.

Orange hues flood the water’s surface, reflected from a concentrated morning sky. A narrow boat moves through the lightβ€”each rower precise, not decorative. The bridge above holds structural weight, not framing. Trees and grass line the far bank, unlit but intact. The orange operates as active fieldβ€”held in water, sky, and motion.

Orange is not loud~it’s steady, like the way morning touches your face....

35: 'Where Is My Mind?' - Pixies (1988)

Everybody's favourite surf rock Dadaists bring us a little ditty about scuba diving and make it sound like your subconscious is slapping you about. Those drums. Those guitars. That siren wail.

Casually insane brilliance.
