The landscape seemed to listen—mountains, trees, and water holding their breath as the day withdrew-Muir

The scene unfolds in quiet layers, composed with a natural balance that draws the eye gently from foreground to horizon.

In the foreground, a narrow, informal footpath parts low grasses and late-season vegetation, leading toward a calm body of water. The grasses are muted—olive, straw, and deep green—suggesting the closing weeks of summer or the first hint of early autumn. Along the water’s edge, driftwood and fallen branches lie scattered, their pale, weathered surfaces marking past floods or seasonal ice melt.

The water itself is smooth and reflective, lightly textured by a faint breeze. It mirrors the soft gold and gray tones of the sky, creating a subdued, luminous band that separates earth from forest. There is no visible current; the surface feels patient, almost still, as though pausing between moments.

Beyond the water rises a dense line of trees, likely a mix of deciduous and coniferous growth. Their crowns form an uneven horizon of dark green, amber, and shadowed brown, suggesting seasonal transition. The forest appears thick and undisturbed, absorbing sound and light alike.

Behind the trees, mountains rise in layered silhouettes. The nearest ridge is dark and solid, its contours clearly defined, while farther peaks fade progressively into softer blues and grays. These distant forms lend depth and scale, reinforcing a sense of remoteness and quiet endurance.

Above it all, the sky dominates the composition. Warm evening light—pale gold, peach, and soft cream—spreads across broken cloud layers. A tall, vertical cloud formation rises behind one of the central peaks, its shape dramatic yet restrained, hinting at a passing storm or cooling air after heat. The light is gentle rather than dramatic, suggesting a moment just before sunset or shortly after a storm’s retreat.

@spockresists.bsky.social

I have tried to promote this as much as possible.
MSM seem to be ignoring it completely.
We know our promotion helps.
But should we really be trying to push peace on a national level.

WAKE UP MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

It's 101 years ago today, but this is one of my favorite #OTD threads from last year. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️

Robert McNees @mcnees.bsky.social · Jan 1

100 years ago today, #OTD in 1925, Edwin Hubble announced that Andromeda and other spiral nebulae were definitely separate galaxies outside the Milky Way, in a paper read to an AAS meeting by H.N. Russell.

There was no doubt that the Universe was more than just our little island of stars. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️

A Doctor Who a Day - Day 9

Boom Town is underrated AF! I love how it links back to AoL & WW3, I love how it leads to Torchwood. The Doctor and Margaret having dinner in bondage is amazing, and Rose and Mickey's relationship feels real.

Look further
than faraway hills,
to oceans of many colours,
to fish that fly
without constraint
above rocking waves.

To distant hopes,
to far-off lands,
to sand dunes
slowly curving
towards far-off summer plans.

I’m sure
you’ll be delighted.

#delighted! 😃

Sadly on the red list of birds in decline, starlings are stunning birds when viewed up close. A murmuration is is even more magical to witness. #BirdOfTheDay #b&w #photography #conservation
