So when the aurora borealis is faint enough, you can capture its glow with the Milky Way 😍

Berthoud Pass, CO last night
Milky Way to the left and red glow to the right above mountains with just a little snow on them in a very starry sky. I didn't use a star tracker and this was a 30 second exposure so some star trailing is visible.

I'll properly go through my pictures from vacation soon, but in the meantime here's a wave crashing at the ‘Pillow shaped lava field’ on the Tashiro coast of Yakushima. It reminded me of the Toho logo clip at the beginning of Godzilla movies.
A nice wave crashing against some igneous coastline, apparently from an underwater volcano nearby.

Got to visit some of my favorite little guys today!
A little figurine of a human with bug-like eyes. I think it is from the Jomon period, about 1000-400BC or so. Carved stone called "Warrior" (note the sword hanging from the belt). There was an iron sword displayed next to this figure, so it was probably from the Iron Age but I didn't get a picture of the info card. A haniwa tomb sculpture of a smiling man, around the 6th century CE. These sculptures are hollow and can depict humans, animals, and objects. Another haniwa tomb sculpture. This one is called "Seated Priestess", which is a pretty accurate description.

I saw a surge in "well it's not your job to police ethicality" regarding genAI so like... whose is it? Certainly not ai bros lmao since they dont care and if nobody speaks up they'll just keep being unethical. I don't think we should just sit around and accept slop.

Finally the weather was clear enough for some good visibility 🗻

yes, yes, you're all asleep, but check out this cool village I went to today
Traditional Japanese village house with a thatched roof, behind some brilliant red bushes Super overgrown thatched roof (seriously it's got a few young trees growing out of it), while in the foreground a young woman with a blue kimono, gold obi, and red umbrella turns demurely away from the camera. It is raining. There are a few bright red maple trees in the distance. Long shot of a canal in the rain with autumn trees and thatched houses. If it weren't cloudy, you could see Mt Fuji from here. Red torii gates with rope and white paper marking a staircase up to a shrine

mushroom mushroom

(snaaail, it's a snail)
A mossy tree trunk. There are black shelf fungi growing out of it near the bottom of the picture, and on the upper shelf is a cone snail. Above the snail, a little brown mushroom cap and a stalk is also growing. There are at least three different kinds of moss.

Happy #WaterfallWednesday from Yakushima, Japan!
Senpiro Falls Ryujin Falls (with bonus photobombing butterfly, I think it's a Postman species) Torokki Falls, one of only two waterfalls in Japan to flow directly into the ocean.

The rain had a cool effect on this carving.
Stone carved with six childlike Buddhist figures, each with a colorful bib. There are fresh flowers at their feet. The same stone carving after a brief downpour, giving a different texture to the figures.

I think I like the one on the left better, but I should have also got a shot with the coins in focus and the statue blurred... Opinions?
Left Inari statue (holding a stick in its mouth) with a fresh red bib, viewed through the square window of a stone lantern. There are a few coins placed on the bottom of the window. Right Inari statue (holding a ball in its mouth) with a fresh red bib as viewed through a slightly angled square window of a stone lantern. This one is dappled by sunlight through tree branches.

Looking proudly out over Yokohama, thinking to myself:

I have rolled you into such a Katamari before
View of Yokohama including the suspension bridge, a ship, several smaller boats, tiny human figures, a nice rose garden, cars, warehouse, trees... All the ingredients for a massive Katamari

Sunset over Sagami Bay, featuring surfers
Sunset over the mountains of Izu Peninsula, featuring surfers on Sagami Bay. You can kinda see Mt Fuji , but it was hidden by clouds most of the day
