I'm here to build connections with thoughtful and creative people so that I might grow, and also find reasons to pleasantly pass the time.
All photos are mine except reposts.
Searching for authentic wherever it might be.

Ok, at this point, with 780 posts, I can no longer remember the photos shared or comments expressed, so allow me to apologize in advance if I repeat myself, because nobody wants to be twice as boring. ;)

This is Millie. She just learned how to sled. Hopes you brought a second land frisbee, because she will not be taking turns. 13/10 (TT: millietheredlab)

This is Radley. She asks to "destroy" when she needs to let out extra energy. "She gets plenty of walks and physical activity," her family told us, "but she uses her destroy button when she is craving a little extra chaos." 13/10 (IG: radley_barkley)

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Inside the mother of all Neolithic tombs ... Newgrange in Ireland. This photo, from excavator Michael O'Kelly's book, shows the chamber (with spiral carving) that is illuminated via the famous roofbox opening at winter solstice. A 5,200-yr-old celebration of the return of the sun. #TombTuesday

The awe inspiring Grundtvigskirken towers 2 km above icebergs at its base. Sailing through East Greenland's O-fjord, we were blessed with one breathtaking view after another. A privilege to witness!

This event was so much fun! I might have to organize orienteering competitions in the future. If you had a map and compass, could you visit all of the stations in a race of way-finding?

M31 is our neighbor in the ocean of the universe. I recently showed that my telescope can detect individual stars 2.5Mio LY away. Imaging the entire galaxy with the same telescope is more difficult. This #astrophotography with my #CelestonOrigin is a mosaic from 6 images, each 1h of exposure time.
