Truth, then, is not a possession,
but a connection—
the echo of the cosmos recognizing itself in sentience.

In the act of pondering,
the Mystery does not merely appear;
it creates itself again,
each time more complete,
more subtle, more luminous.

Five weeks in, and Mount Sopris finally gets snow my last two days here. Properly dressed at last.

There's a docu, on Annapurna I think, where she's filming herself in her tent. Wind is so strong the tent is shaking and almost flying away. Then she unzips the entrance, and you see the tent is perched below a big rock on an almost vertical slope like this, in the middle of a snowstorm 😵‍💫

The lake is pumping today.

It's time to order a proper wetsuit and get in some winter surf.

Pic of the day

Loutro Beach on the island of Crete. A small boat with a man in it hovers on top of turquoise water. In the distance, brilliant white stores and homes line the cove. There are no roads to get here. Boat is everything.

The sun climbs slowly, a burnished blade.
Cutting night where the shadows fade.
Wave on rock, just a pulse in time.
Steady as a working rhyme.
A gull cries sharp, the sky replies.
Gold drips down where water lies.
Engines hum on the distant sea.
Dawn keeps marching patiently.

Appreciate you all. Have a lovely day on planet earth…yes, even the bird that photobombed the shot! 🤣

A fire red/orange/grey morning sky, over the city of Marseille.

The distant horizon, building and the solitary bird remain in darkness.

Today’s pic fits all the prompts! #twosday #rockintuesday #bluetue #tidesouttuesday from Haystack Rock in Oregon. Loved this hazy scene of a father and son riding on the beach!
.
#coloraday #eastcoastkin #pnw #landscapephotography

This photo depicts the famous Haystack Rock on the Oregon coast. A large black rock rises out of the ocean, surrounded by smaller, pointed rocks. There is a haze on the water making it look dreamy and slightly blurred. In the foreground, a father and son bicycle across the sand. The tide is out and the beach is shiny with water.
