Image depicts a technique used during the Dust Bowl era to prevent soil erosion by creating protective patterns in the farmland. Farmers used tractors to plow the land in curved lines, or contours, following the landscape's natural shape to stop wind from blowing away the topsoil.

A square-format, high-contrast black and white photograph of a bird in flight over a foggy landscape. The bird, likely a seagull, is captured in silhouette with its wings spread in a "V" shape, positioned in the upper right quadrant of the frame. Below, a thick layer of mist obscures a line of trees and a tall, thin radio tower. The foreground is composed of dark, underexposed silhouettes of bushes and foliage. The overall mood is atmospheric and somber, with a grainy texture and a soft gradient from the bright, white sky at the top to the deep black shadows at the bottom.
A wide-angle, black and white landscape photograph featuring a mist-covered hillside. Thick fog rolls through layers of dark, leafless trees in the foreground and midground, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. On the crest of the hill, a line of evergreen trees stands to the left, while several utility poles are silhouetted against a bright, hazy sky. The composition is high-contrast, with deep blacks in the silhouetted foliage and bright whites in the sky and fog, giving the scene a moody and ethereal quality.
we had some fog this morning 🙂

A high-contrast, black and white photograph taken from the dark interior of a pub, looking out through a large window onto an outdoor patio. In the foreground, the interior is cast in deep shadow, showing the silhouette of a wooden table and several chairs. The floor has a patterned carpet, partially illuminated by light from the window. Through the glass, a man wearing a flat cap and a dark jacket sits alone at an outdoor table, his profile visible as he looks away from the camera. The outdoor area features wooden decking, patio furniture, and bare tree branches in the background. The composition uses the window frame to create a "picture within a picture" effect, characterized by grainy textures and a moody, contemplative atmosphere.

Picked up my copy of Birding by @regretteruane.bsky.social to find it niftily matched the incredible ceilings in here…
Passed a man earlier with a really quite fed up look on his face, wearing a T shirt that said, in bold capitals, MAKE LOVE YOUR GOAL. In many ways we are all that man.
