This is the best sentence I've ever read about Cape Town. It's by Nadia Davids.
The image is a screenshot of the sentence. It reads: It is, in my view, impossible to think of Cape Town—uncanny, beautiful, enraging, segregated, psychotically split, dizzy with unfinished business, heaving with the memory of the gravest sins one people can commit against another—genocide, enslavement, colonialism, Apartheid—a place where spectacular natural beauty lines up against historical loss, cited, frequently, as the both the “best city on earth” and the most “unequal place on earth”—as not haunted.

Hey, it's #blueskyartshow day! #FavoriteThings prompt!

My favorite things are ...wide ranging, but I do many mediums so I've got it covered. Alt text has descriptions for each!
I collect a lot of taxidermy and skulls, and find them invaluable references. I took this photo in the Natural Science Museum in Charleston, SC. I love shooting portraits of my friends. This is Aurora, rocking some beautiful jade and coral necklaces. Taken in approx. 2014. Man the years have flown by. Birds, sunsets, quiet moments. All favorites, each on their own merits. I clearly can't pick just one. Tricolor heron, color pencil, 2025. Embroidery is absolutely one of my favorite things! I find a lot of quiet stillness in #blackwork embroidery specifically - it's a counted stitch that is woven into the fabric, so it's actually the same on both sides when you view it. Some people think it's very tedious, but I love it so much. Biscornu blackwork pincushion, 2016-ish.

深夜の #飯テロ

『丸ごと果実王』

夏の涼を呼ぶ、贅沢な果実の競演だ。
網目美しいマスクメロンを器に見立て、くり抜かれた芳醇な果肉が、宝石のようなベリー類（ラズベリー、ブルーベリー）と調和している。

ミントの葉の翠が、色彩に深みを与える。
この一皿は、単なるデザートではない。
完熟を見極めた職人の審美眼と、客をもてなす精神が結晶化した芸術作品である。

メロンのとろけるような甘さと、ベリーの凛とした酸味が口の中で交響し、極上の余韻を残す。
背景には、最高の旬を選び抜く作り手の矜持がある。

This is another star moth from the night! - Woods's Dart - Agrotis graslinii and I trapped 5 of them! - moth-trapping at Punta Paloma, Tarifa, Cadiz Province, Andalucia, Spain on the 8th of October 2025. (It is only known in Europe from the coasts of France, Spain and Portugal and the Portugal/Spain subspecies is arenosa.) And a beautiful fresh Catarrhoe basochesiata - moth-trapping at Punta Paloma, Tarifa, Cadiz Province, Andalucia, Spain on the 8th of October 2025. This is the view looking inland from one of the higher dunes. You can see that as you get further inland, the habitat changes to Pine Forest. I believe they are all Stone Pines and I'm not sure how much they are natural here, or were planted to stabilise the mobile sand dunes. - moth-trapping at Punta Paloma, Tarifa, Cadiz Province, Andalucia, Spain on the 8th of October 2025.

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday
BlueSky Folks,here is a picture of a Beautiful Red Rose Flower that I Saw Yesterday while on a walk.
Captured on a canon EOS R50
The picture shows a close-up view of a vibrant red rose. The petals are rich and velvety, with a deep crimson color. The rose is in full bloom, with its petals fully open, revealing the center of the flower where the stamens and pistil are visible. There are some small white specks on the petals, possibly pollen or dew drops. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the rose itself, and it appears to be a natural outdoor setting with soft, diffused lighting. The overall image conveys a sense of beauty and elegance.

"No Sun Outlasts It's Sunset,
But Will Rise Again And Bring
The Dawn"

(My Photography)

#tree #silhouette #sunset #natural
#photography #life #love #FreeSpirit
A striking, dark silhouette of a tree with no leaves dominates the foreground of the scene. Its trunk is severely bent, reaching dramatically across the canvas, while its gnarled branches claw at the vibrant atmosphere. The backdrop is a breathtaking blend of colors, as the sun sets in the distance, painting the horizon in a sea of rich gold. Above this radiant band, the sky transitions into a serene yet partially blue hue, providing a cool contrast to the warm glow below. The skeletal form of the tree against the bright, warm light creates a stark, high-contrast effect, resulting in an amazing, silhouetted view that is both dramatic and beautiful.

on the top of a mountain
But all the happiness
and growth occurs
While you're climbing it."

A breathtaking mountain view with rugged peaks Piercing a dramatic cloudy sky. Light coloured houses with terracotta rooftops sit in lush green surroundings,nestled in the mountain scape below the peaks. A clear testament to human resilience and the desire to build a life in such a formidable, yet beautiful, environment. The sheer scale of the mountains make the houses look small and delicate. The overall impression is one of serene isolation and awe-inspiring natural beauty, a place where the earth touches the clouds.

RETHINKING WHAT MONEY IS FOR

‘If winning the heart of another is all we ultimately want, we can easily do so without destroying each other’s nations and the planet just to hoard riches which might impress someone.’

THE END OF ALL WARS

#booksky #photography #gold #money #rich #rethinking #actnow 👇
Autumn view of a lake, Wolgaster See. ‘Let me connect some of our dots. We spoke of the divides between people as a potential root cause of war — not just the divides between genders but also between people of different ages, abilities, origins and more, and not least between those who assume a role of dominance and those who suffer the dominant. These divides are partly created by the narratives of the strong and the weak, the predator and the prey, the superior and the subordinate, narratives which are deeply ingrained in our minds. These narratives tell us that dominance is a natural imperative which every creature of worth seeks. But taking a closer look at nature offers another perspective and one that is more promising because it shows that, for example, the lion doesn’t kill for dominance but for sustenance and as part of its role in the ecosystem, and with that the lion contributes to the overall balance in nature — not to some gamble for power.’ We smiled, some of us scribbling notes, and one of us said: ‘But why did we start seeking dominance in the first place? What was the lure?’ ‘The promise of more gold?’ One of us chuckled. ‘You’re saying we were blinded by some shiny metal and had to get more of it? And we figured that the best way to get more gold would be to put ourselves in a position of dominance?’ ‘Sounds about right.’ ‘Maybe it was love that started it all.’ ‘What?’ several of us exclaimed. Think about it: You love your partner and you want to show your love, so you bring them the sweetest strawberries, the fattest fish, the most beautiful flowers. And since you want to give them the best of the best, you begin to accumulate riches for your love. Think about the people who built whole palaces for their partners. And since we tend to be blind when we are in love, we might have lost sight of everything and everyone around us — until we had become greedy exploiters who no longer knew why they had started hoarding riches in the first place.’ Several of us smiled and one of us said: ‘If love got us into our mess, love can get us out of it, too: the love for human ingenuity, the love for human’s humour and their ability to dance, the love for the adrenaline rush we experience when we create or cheer together.’ ‘And we can carve new ways to show our love.’ One of us chuckled. ‘If winning the heart of another is all we ultimately want, we can easily do so without destroying each other’s nations and the planet just to hoard riches which might impress someone.’ ‘And maybe we can evolve into beings who are less impressed by shiny things. I for one take the sweet strawberries over a metal any day.’ Two of us exchanged a smile, another one of us chuckled, and one of us rolled their eyes, saying: ‘Let’s return to the original gold argument. We can easily demonstrate that there is enough gold on our planet to pave every road with it. All we have to do is come together, extract together, and then design our settlements the way we envision them.’ ‘You’re right. There’s no need to fight over something like gold. There is no need to be the richest or the strongest. In fact, we can provide much better for all of us, love or no love, if we cooperate. I wonder, is it our lack of imagination or simply � insecurity or even impatience which made us choose the path of dominance?’ Some of us shrugged and one of us said: ‘The lack of thinking. If our ancestors had thought it through, they would have discovered the benefits of coming together instead of dominating, exploiting and fighting.’ ‘Maybe religious thoughts kept them from thinking beyond the believes of our ancestors.’ ‘Possible. Religions with their absolutes don’t invite thinking. They divide us and create a sense of superiority.’ One of us gasped. ‘Bloody rivers of my veins, I just realised that nature doesn’t know the concept of the divine or of worship — unless you want to count the wolf’s howling at the moon.’ ‘That’s an interesting thought!’ another one of us exclaimed. ‘Nature doesn’t have a concept of the divine. The natural world doesn’t have morals. It doesn’t comply with our ideas of right or wrong. Maybe that’s what annoyed the clergy, and that’s why they alienated us from nature and from our bodies.’ ‘Nature doesn’t have a book of rules nor an almighty god—’ ‘—but why not? It seems such an important feature to humans.’ ‘Because that’s not the way to achieve balance? According to their books, gods want things to be in a certain way. Gods don’t want to evolve or move in cycles. With gods you have all the weight on one side of the scale — on God’s side, eternally stuck in one story.’

Claude Lorrain, View of the Acqua Acetosa, c. 1645, pen and brown ink and brush and brown wash over graphite (Cleveland Museum of Art)
"This drawing represents a view of the famous Acqua Acetosa, a mineral spring that until the 19th century provided the favored drinking water of Romans who believed in its healing powers. Although topographically accurate, the sheet is not a plein-air study but a vision of an imagined Arcadian world carefully rendered by Gellée, one of the most original painters of the 17th century. The French-born artist spent his career painting and drawing the Roman Campagna and the Neopolitan coastline. Sublimely beautiful pen-and-ink and wash drawings such as the example here reveal the artist's highly poetic response to the natural world and his unparalleled sensitivity to light." https://www.clevelandart.org/art/1928.15.a

Around 7:15 that evening, the Fitzgerald's captain, Ernest McSorley, made his final radio contact with a companion ship, the Arthur M. Anderson. "We are holding our own,'" McSorley told the first mate of the Anderson when asked how they were faring in the storm, according to a transcript of the radio call.

Laura Black's Art
www.kwflaart.com
With years of experience living in Key West and the Florida Keys, this artist's watercolor paintings convey the beauty of the area and her love for it. Let your spirit soar like these birds against the sunset.
#KeyWest #Art #AcrylicPainting #Paintings #FloridaKeys
The gifted artist Laura Black has brilliantly encapsulated the stunning allure of Key West and the Florida Keys in his artwork titled "Blue Heron / Acrylic Painting" With its vibrant hues and meticulous details, this painting truly brings to life the charm and character of this remarkable area. The painting depicts a vibrant blue heron standing in a dark, almost black, setting. The heron's plumage is a striking contrast against the shadowy background. The bird's long, slender legs are partially submerged in the water, which is painted with subtle blue hues to create the illusion of depth and movement. The background features a row of tall, slender trees, likely mangroves, their roots visible in the shallow water. The overall mood of the painting is serene and contemplative, highlighting the beauty and grace of the heron in its natural habitat. Don't be afraid to spread your wings and fly towards your dreams. The world is full of beauty and adventure, waiting to be discovered. Take a chance, and see where it takes you!. In his artwork "Paradise for two / Acrylic Painting" the talented artist Laura Black has captured the breathtaking essence of Key West and the Florida Keys. The vibrant colors and fine details in the painting brilliantly illustrate the captivating beauty and unique spirit of this spectacular region. This painting depicts a tranquil beach scene. Two blue Adirondack chairs sit facing the ocean on a wooden deck. A small table with two glasses of wine sits between them, inviting viewers to imagine themselves enjoying the view. Lush palm trees frame the scene, their fronds swaying gently in the breeze. The azure sky is dotted with a few white clouds and a small flock of birds in flight. The sandy beach stretches out before the viewer, leading towards the shimmering horizon. The overall effect is one of peace and tranquility, capturing the essence of a relaxing vacation. The artistic genius Laura Black has truly brought to life the stunning landscapes of Key West and the Florida Keys through her compelling piece "Sunsets / Acrylic Painting." The vivid colors and intricate details of this artwork vividly express the beauty and vivacity of this extraordinary destination. A vibrant sunset paints the sky in hues of orange, yellow, and red, casting a warm glow over a tranquil body of water. Silhouetted against the fiery backdrop, a flock of birds, their wings spread wide, soar gracefully across the heavens. The scene evokes a sense of peace and serenity, as the birds seem to be enjoying the beauty of the twilight hour. The water below reflects the colors of the sky, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow. The painting captures the fleeting beauty of a sunset, a moment of time that is both breathtaking and ephemeral. Laura Black, an extraordinary artist, has strikingly illustrated the breathtaking landscapes of Key West and the Florida Keys in her painting "Where's Mommy / Acrylic Painting" The brilliant colors and detailed craftsmanship beautifully manifest the essence and vibrancy of this exceptional area. This watercolor painting depicts a manatee swimming through a bed of blue and black seaweed. The manatee is a large, gray mammal with a rounded body and flippers. It is swimming with its head above the water, and its eyes are visible. The seaweed is depicted in a stylized, abstract manner, with long, flowing lines and a dark blue color. The background is a white canvas, which provides a stark contrast to the dark colors of the manatee and seaweed. The painting is a beautiful and evocative depiction of a manatee in its natural habitat. It is a reminder of the beauty and fragility of the natural world, and it inspires us to protect these creatures and their environment.

Heaven's Breath, A Natural History of the Wind, by Lyall Watson. Heaven's Breath, the first history of the wind, looks at this ubiquitous and invisible entity from the point of view of geography, biology, physics, sociology, physiology, psychology, history, and philosophy. Watson shows how winds shape the world and maintains its life world, functioning as the circulatory and nervous systems of the planet, sharing our energy and information, distributing warmth, bringing rain, enriching or stripping away soil, air-conditioning the globe. Wind also disperses plants, animals, and human communities, shaping history- tradewinds have influenced human migrations and shaped imperial destinies; wind affected the outcome of wars between the Greeks and Persians, the Mongols and Japan; wind contributed to the destruction of the Spanish Armada. And wind works on our most intimate feelings. The föhn, mistral, sirocco, Santa Ana and other 'ill winds' of the world can lead to disease, suicide and even murder. Lyall Watson had written a book that is full of strange lore and new perspectives on history, nature, and humanity.

The Rufous-tailed Hummingbird is one of the most common Costa Rican hummers, and they're frustrating because they're hyper-aggressive and bully just about every other hummingbird That can be challenging when you're trying to get a nice view of a smaller species. But they're still beautiful!

#birds
A small bird perched on a thin branch, displaying vibrant green iridescent plumage on its head and chest. Its wings are tucked close to its body, while its tail is fanned out, revealing bright orange feathers edged with dark tips. The bird's beak is slender and slightly curved, with a reddish hue near the base. The background is softly blurred with muted green tones, creating a natural, forest-like setting.
