This early morning hike through a grove of redwood trees was so magical! (Oct. 2025)

A dark hiking trail meanders through a foggy redwood forest on an early morning. The sun is peeking through the fog and trees and casting numerous light rays to the left and to the right. The whole scene looks magical.

A staircase leading uphill through a densely wooded area in autumn. The steps and surrounding ground are covered with fallen leaves in warm shades of yellow, orange, and brown. A metal handrail runs along the left side, and a tall streetlamp stands partway up the stairs. The trees are mostly bare or sparsely foliated, enhancing the seasonal atmosphere. — Silent music in the leaves, Journey’s gentle pulse.

Burgess Meredith, born today in 1907

Of “Time Enough at Last”, he said: “I don’t think I’ve ever done any other project that people talk to me more about than that show. .. It’s gotten to the point where when they first approach me, I almost know what they’re going to say.”

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent sheep I have met on walks.

You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.
A morbidly inclined sheep, who likes to hang around in graveyards, detests parties and owns original pressings of the entire classic run of Leonard Cohen LPs from 1967-1974.

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

A vertical photograph taken inside a dense, tall pine and fir forest. The view is dominated by straight, parallel tree trunks that rise high out of the dark forest floor. The setting sun bursts through the trees in the centre of the image, creating a strong starburst effect and bathing the scene in a warm, golden, and green light.

Unfiltered beauty of the aurora borealis. The night sky with some stars visible, is illuminated in a bright pink nearly all over the photo. The left upper corner is dark, from there the pink is getting brighter till the mid of the photo, then it’s getting softer with blue hues and bright green on the bottom. In the foreground there are silhouettes of leafy trees visible, more prominent in the left lower corner, smaller on the left, beautifully mirroring the dark sky in the left upper corner. Some light pillars / rays are shining in the same direction. One of the best events in my life was watching the natural phenomenon Aurora Borrealis in May 2024 that left me both mesmerized and mystified. I went out on a field to look for the dazzling dancing lights and eventually I was lying on said field in the dirt, looking up and watching the breathtakingly beautiful spectacle above me with tears in my eyes. The aurora was fluidly dancing over me in all shades of purple, pink, green, dark red, in round shapes and in pillars under some sparkling stars. Rare pink auroras are typically associated with a high solar activity. Red auroras occur only during strong electromagnetic storms. Auroras are caused by energized particles from the sun that are slamming into Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 million mph / 72 million kmh. The magnetic field of the Earth then redirects the particles towards the north and south poles. The different colors are caused by the level of the solar activity, strength of the storm, density in the atmosphere, and the gases in the atmosphere that are excited by the incoming particles, eg oxygen and nitrogen, emit different colors. Also the altitude at which the aurora occurs plays a role, eg. oxygen emits green light, which is the most common color of the aurora, but it can also emit red light at higher altitudes. Nitrogen emits blue light, and can also produce purple and pink colors when mixed with oxygen. Truly amazing and fascinating!
