Telangiectast #SnowDay #NationalMall #Photography #Monochrome #WashingtonDC
A leafless tree is partially obscured by thick white fog in a minimalist, high-key landscape. Below, a flat expanse of snow stretches to a distant, faint post-and-chain fence.

Probably the best museum in DC #NMAAHC #SnowDay #NationalMall #Photography #WashingtonDC
This photo features the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington, D.C., on a cold, overcast winter day. ​Subject: The bronze-colored, tiered architectural lattice of the National Museum of African American History and Culture stands prominently in the center of the frame. ​Foreground: A line of five silver flagpoles stands in front of the museum, each flying an American flag that is slightly ruffled by the wind. The ground in the lower-left is covered in a patch of white snow, while the lower-right shows a dark, wet asphalt path. ​Background: To the left of the museum, the faint, white silhouette of a traditional government building is visible through the grey, wintry haze. Bare, dark trees stand to the right of the museum's modern structure. ​Activity: A few people, dressed in dark winter coats and one in a bright yellow jacket, are walking along a path behind a low black metal fence between the flagpoles and the museum.

Concrete and light trails #WMATA #DCMetro #WashingtonDC #Brutalism #Photography #Smithsonian #WinterInDC
The interior of the Smithsonian Metro station in Washington, D.C., featuring its iconic Brutalist vaulted ceiling with a repetitive grid of recessed concrete coffers. The station is cast in a moody, atmospheric glow with purple and blue tones. On the left, two figures in hooded jackets stand on the platform, their silhouettes dark and blurred. A train is captured as a brilliant, elongated streak of white and golden light as it rushes through the station, creating a sense of high-speed motion against the stillness of the platform.

People outside the people's house #DC #SnowDay #NationalMall #Photography #Monochrome #WashingtonDC #USCapitol
The massive, neoclassical facade of the U.S. Capitol Building looms in the background, its rows of columns and windows appearing as soft, ghostly shapes through a thick haze. In the center foreground, the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial—an equestrian statue of a man on a horse—stands atop a high white pedestal. Below the memorial, the ground is a seamless sheet of white snow. A group of dark figures stands huddled together near a dark car, while a lone person walks toward the bottom-right corner, their silhouettes providing sharp contrast against the bright, monochromatic landscape.

City traffic. #DC #SnowDay #NationalMall #Photography #Monochrome #WashingtonDC
​A wide urban street is buried under a layer of thick, slushy snow during a heavy winter whiteout. On the right, a white United States Capitol Police SUV is parked with its vibrant blue emergency lights cutting through the blue-grey haze. A dark vehicle travels away down the center of the road, while a red traffic light glows on the left. Tall, stately buildings and skeletal bare trees line the street, which stretches into a dense, foggy distance where several American flags are faintly visible.

Big red truck #DC #SnowDay #WinterWonderland #NationalMall #Photography #Monochrome #WashingtonDC
A bright red fire truck with its emergency lights flashing sits parked on the deep snow of the National Mall. The glowing red lights cast a warm, hazy reflection onto the white ground. In the background, a line of people stands near the dark trees, while a lone figure in a red jacket walks through the snow in the foreground, mirroring the color of the truck.

The dome, barely there. #WashingtonDC #USCapitol #Monochrome #SnowDay #Photography #NationalMall
The U.S. Capitol Building looms in the distance, its majestic dome nearly blending into the heavy grey-white sky. The vast lawn of the National Mall is a flat expanse of white, crisscrossed by low fences and the dark silhouettes of bare winter trees. Despite the cold, several people are out walking, their dark coats standing out against the blizzard-like conditions.

Snowy, sleety morning in DC #photography #minimalism #WashingtonDC #NationalMall #Snow
A long, snow-blanketed path stretches into a thick white fog, flanked by two symmetrical rows of tall, bare winter trees. The ground is a smooth, undisturbed sheet of deep snow. In the lower-left foreground, a green fire hydrant and a dark trash can provide the only pops of color against the otherwise monochrome, ethereal landscape.

Please take a moment to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose H.J. Res. 140. A short call, email, or message saying you care about clean water, wilderness, and public lands really does matter. If people stay quiet, this will pass quietly. If enough of us speak up, it doesn’t have to.

Why isn't anyone calling this an invasion? #Greenland
This image shows a Google News feed featuring several headlines from major news outlets regarding Donald Trump’s interest in Greenland and the resulting international tension. ​The headlines include: ​The Washington Post: “Trump’s Greenland crusade pushes European allies to a breaking point” (46 minutes ago). ​Al Jazeera: “US allies unite against Trump’s threats to take over Greenland at Davos” (1 hour ago). ​The New York Times: “With Threats to Greenland, Trump Sets America on the Road to Conquest” (Yesterday). ​CNN: “Why Trump’s dust-up with Europe over Greenland is a double-edged sword for R…” (Yesterday). ​The Economist: “Most Americans oppose intervention in Greenland” (18 hours ago), accompanied by a poll graphic showing 51% oppose, 20% support, and 29% are unsure. ​The feed is organized vertically with small thumbnail images next to each headline, including photos of Donald Trump, European flags, and a person holding a Greenlandic flag in a snowy landscape.

​A detailed close-up photograph of a feathery ornamental grass plume, intensely backlit by warm, golden light. The light catches the intricate, bristly textures of the dried seed head, making it glow in vibrant shades of amber and copper. The plume curves gracefully from the bottom left toward the top right, standing out in sharp, luminous contrast against a dark, shadowy background.

As a gay person, it's infuriating that we allow the likes of barri weiss, Peter theil and Tim "apple" to prance around and be held unaccountable.
Those drag queens at stonewall did not fight for our rights as gay folk so that those a holes could bow to a turd lick who is taking our rights away.

Some cool landscapes from high above over Texas.
Bird's eye view of sand dunes and hills. Looks like abstract lines and squiggles.
