Sunrise. Mt. Hood in the distance. October 2024. 🧡💜

Sunrise. Mt. Hood in the distance. Dark conifer trees and mountain, golden yellow orange purple wispy clouds, pale blue sky, illuminated reddish orange and purple scattered clouds, with darker blue sky behind the clouds.

This is the absolute coolest thing - incredibly detailed process on getting chocolate from giant pod and weird beans through fermentation and roasting.

OK- here we go. Sorry for the delay, I was not prepared for the exertion required in the thrill-a-minute adventure that is… CACAO FERMENTATION.

Yes, this will actually take 5 days. After that two days of drying. I’m not making this up. Nothing happens. Really. You’ll see.

Anyway, off we go!

Sharing for Friday #scape Day. The iconic Isle au Haut Light in Maine. The lighthouse, set against the rugged coastline and moody skies, beautifully reflects the remote, resilient spirit of the island.

#photography #landscape #eastcoastkin #maine #isleauahaut

This black-and-white photograph depicts a quiet coastal scene dominated by a lighthouse perched on a rocky shoreline. The lighthouse stands upright and solitary at the right side of the image, slightly off-center, its cylindrical white tower topped with a small, dark lantern room and a surrounding balcony. The base of the lighthouse is made of darker, rough-hewn stone, anchoring it firmly to the jagged rocks beneath. A narrow elevated walkway leads from the lighthouse to the land behind it, crossing a chasm in the rugged coastal terrain.

To the left of the lighthouse, nestled among a dense stand of dark evergreen trees, stands a classic New England-style house. The house is simple, with a pitched roof and chimney, suggesting a keeper’s residence or other support buildings traditionally found near lighthouses. The trees rise tall around the home, partially obscuring it, giving the scene a sense of seclusion and timelessness.

The foreground is composed of a rough, rocky beach or shoreline, blurred slightly to focus attention toward the lighthouse and sky. The ocean stretches out beyond the land, a textured, shimmering surface that reflects the pale light of an overcast sky. Layers of clouds hang low, stretching across the horizon in muted grays, creating a moody and dramatic atmosphere.

The overall tone of the photograph is quiet and contemplative, emphasizing solitude, resilience, and the enduring presence of the lighthouse as both a beacon and a symbol. The absence of color enhances the sense of stillness and timelessness, drawing attention to contrasts in texture and form.

NEW — Kelvin Membreño will be deported to El Salvador by ICE tomorrow. He’s the birth father of three US citizen daughters and has become an important part of their lives.

Here their adoptive mother makes a last ditch plea to let him stay in the same country as the girls. A gutting guest essay:

A mother's urgent plea to stop ICE from deporting her daughters’ birth father tomorrow

He served his time in the US. He deserves to heal here, too.

Marthe Cohn infiltrated Nazi Germany in late 1944 as a spy for the French army, gathering critical intelligence about troop movements that saved countless Allied lives. This remarkable woman, who died this week at the age of 105, was born to an Orthodox Jewish family in Metz, France in 1920. ♥️
