Taking Cover “And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul” ~ John Muir A full week of Hazardous Air Quality Warnings! #ForestFriday Langley, BC #Landscape #originalcontent #Photography #hikingtrail #ClimateChange #Forest #EastCoastKin #BritishColumbia #canada #imagesofcanada

Conjoined trees sit next to a gravel trail that slopes down and left out of the frame. Dead leaves are evidence of the extended drought that the forests in British Columbia, more accurately the Pacific North West have endured. The sunlight has a slightly exaggerated orange hue provided by wildfire smoke, as we are surrounded by them. With a solid week of Dangerous Air Quality warnings I'm surprised the orange hue is not more pronounced.

The bigger concern is that AI has some legitimate uses. They will be overshadowed by the evil deployments. IAI is being used to disrupt critical thinking by creating believable FAKES that most will accept as real. Truth will require a deep dive, but Google et al are doing a lot the erase that data.

Frozen Waterfall a.k.a. a calving glacier. Dodging the ice in Hornsund Bay. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJetBlack #WaterfallWednesday #ClassicMono Svalbard and Jan Mayen #photography #landscape #seascape #originalcontent #blackandwhite #monochrome #travel #glacier #offthebeatenpath #svalbard

Checking out the ice in Hornsund fjord, which cuts 25 kilometres into Spitsbergen island and is part of the South Spitsbergen National Park. The black bow of the zodiac leads to lots of ice, leading to the glacier. The ice is partly from the calving glacier, but also from drifting icebergs seen throughout the fjord. There are dark, misty skies over the sparsely covered rock faces. It's getting late in the afternoon, the ice is starting to join together as temperatures drop. It took several attempts to reach open water. This rubber-raft is no icebreaker!

Tables with red cloths on a deck with a bright, red railing (and a interesting slope) overlock Cuba's Viñales valley. The valley has a semi jungle-like feel with its broad-leafed canopy. The area is one of Cuba's main agriculture regions, and also home to its tobacco farming for its iconic cigars. We were meandering through Cuba for a month, free-range: Just like the chickens outside of the restaurant.

#SilentSunday #Photography

Early morning sunlight shines through the leaves of willow trees lining the banks of a creek. The light is infused with green, and reflects off the creek's rippling surface. We're standing on the grassy stream bank with a gray, rough barked willow tree off to our right, its branches drooping down like a bead curtain, filtering the scene.

Morning Has Broken Antarctica, one #StunDay after another. Certainly an iconic experience. #WeekIforIconic #AlphabetChallenge #SkySunday #SilentSunday Adelaide Island, Antarctica 🧭 67°44'12" S 69°14'45" W #photography #LoveAntarctica #nature #originalcontent #travel #offthebeatenpath #Antarctica

A warm, morning glow over the snow-capped, chiselled peaks of Adelaide Island. A bit of dark cloud to the left adds a little drama. The seas is quite calm here of the southern tip of Adelaide Island, Antarctica. At 67° South, we are below the Antarctic Circle, where very few expedition-style ships venture, this boat only makes 2 or three runs here per season. A few more degrees south and big ice becomes a real problem …not going!

European Parliament, Brussels - full moon, January #BlueskyArtShow #Shiny #EastCoastKin #Photography 📷

The image depicts a cityscape at night, illuminated by a large, bright, full moon in the upper right corner. The foreground shows the rooftops of a residential area, dark against the night sky. In the mid-ground, several buildings are visible, including one large structure that is brightly lit by the moon, the European Parliament in Brussels, and construction cranes. The overall mood is serene, yet slightly melancholic due to the darkness and the juxtaposition of the peaceful moon against the busy cityscape.

I'm more concerned that it will put creativity (and reality) on death row. Why spend time and effort creating when you can take a snapshot and have AI do ALL of the creative? 99% won't notice "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented, it's as simple as that." -The Truman Show

Hulhumalé, Maldives. A man is sitting down in a crouching position, looking out to the sea in contemplation on the groyne near the Hulhumalé Canal. The lagoon is lit up in silver by the sun’s rays. The sea beyond the reef is dark. There is a horizontal layer of dark clouds low near the horizon. The sky above it is mostly covered by a thin layer of light clouds. The photograph is in black and white.
