Cooper Claus? Santa Coop? Whatever you want to call him, he is here to spread some holiday cheer.
Cooper, a mostly black & white, fluffy husky mix, sits on a light colored couch while wearing a Santa hat.

a windy day, a fluffy dog
Cooper, and black and white, fluffy Husky mix, looks back at the camera while standing on the side walk. His tail and butt floof are puffed out from the wind.

📷 A couple years ago I used a cross-polarized macro flash setup to capture the birefringence of ice along a creek.

A partially melted piece of ice forms an abstract shape. Rainbow colors appear over it as cross-polarized lights highlight the stress of the ice crystal. Tiny shards of ice.

i think out of all the stupid hobby pages on reddit, the digital camera people are the stupidest. any time they see a picture they like they're in a cold sweat wondering if they need to spend $10k to swap camera sytems. jesus fucking christ chill out. it's the WORLD that looks good

📷 Night views from the top of a hill in New Hampshire

#night #photography #eastcoastkin #nightphotography #landscape #woodland #firetower #firewatch
Wide angle shot of a fire tower and radio tower from below. Lights on the radio tower illuminate the ground and trees in red light. The contrasts against the blue, starry sky. A view from midway up a fire tower looking off towards the mountains. The sun has just set so there is a slight orange glow above the mountains. There is a radio tower on the right side of frame that illuminates the woods below.

do not tell me your app is like “pokémon for x” unless you’ve developed little capsules to catch creatures so I can form strong bonds with them through adventure and battle (it’s ok, they like it)
