Au petit matin, un long train est à l’arrêt sur des voies ferrées. Les fenêtres éclairées du train forment une ligne lumineuse dans l’obscurité. Des poteaux et des câbles électriques se découpent dans le ciel sombre. Un lampadaire jaune éclaire le terrain au premier plan, couvert d’herbes humides. Dans le ciel nuageux, la Lune apparaît faiblement sous les nuages.

Or perhaps their belief that they are an empath helps them to sleep better at night after a lifetime spent fulfilling their own needs at the expense of others.

I find it strange that individuals who describe themselves as 'empaths' generally exhibit little or no empathy—their only concern seems to be their own wellbeing…

I suspect it’s all about public perception…

I grew up in humid, hot Florida…
And for that reason, the dry, dry desert is my happy place…

I have two library cards…
Does that mean that my attractiveness has increased by 106%?
Is that even possible? 🤔

Moody clouds threaten distant sno-capped mountains with squalls. In the foreground, a bright yellow aspen stands out amidst the conifers. Colorado vistas at their best.

A black and white photograph of a large, two-story stone house perched on a rocky cliff overlooking a rushing river. The house features multiple gables, white-trimmed windows, and two prominent chimneys. In the foreground, dark water swirls around a large rock, while misty trees and hills are visible in the background.

Deep snow covers the foot path that leafs away into the depths of the forest, the barren branches and foliage laden with wet, pristine snow

Gros plan minimaliste sur deux frondes de fougères séchées suspendues dans l'air. Les frondes brunes aux folioles pointues disposées en arête de poisson pendent verticalement contre un arrière-plan complètement flou aux tons gris-beige doux. Sur chaque fronde, à l'extrémité inférieure, une goutte d'eau cristalline est suspendue, prête à tomber.

The profile of a black crow at rest with its nictitating membrane showing and reflections visible in it. The background is a pale yellow bokeh.

Airglow Eclipse

In the hour of totality, there was still a lot of light.
Curious, I pointed the second camera to the south - and discovered quite a vibrant airglow in effect.

Skull Rock

The desert gathers its beauty in the quiet rise of stone.
Nature carries stories shaped by land.
The day moves across land revealing secrets.
Mystery lingers where silence meets sky.
