CocaCola using really obvious A.I. in their Christmas advert to sell their slogan "Always the real thing" is everything wrong with our digital society.

Morning Bluesky!

#sunrise #photography
A weathered wooden house stands alone in a vast field of dry yellow grass, lit by the low sun on the horizon. A leafless tree rises beside it, and a solitary figure in a red jacket walks nearby. The sky is filled with dramatic clouds, casting long shadows and a warm glow. The scene evokes solitude, memory, and the quiet passage of time in a rural landscape.

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore"

- Lord Byron

#Photography by Hamad Bajwa
A white rowboat with a blue interior floats on still water among slender trees with yellow autumn leaves. The tree trunks are partially submerged, and the water is so calm it mirrors the boat, trees, and distant rocky hills with perfect clarity. The scene is bathed in soft light, blending golden foliage with cool blue reflections. It evokes quiet solitude, seasonal transition, and the gentle tension between movement and stillness.

Golden hour at the edge of the world.

#Photography by GEORGE DESIPRIS, Santorini, Greece

#sunset
View through an open doorway labeled “petit palace,” framing a golden sunset over a calm sea. The sun casts a shimmering reflection on the water, while the sky fades from deep blue to warm orange. Two white planters with small trees flank the entrance, adding a touch of greenery. The scene evokes quiet luxury, threshold moments, and the stillness of endings.

He who replaces heedlessness with mindfulness, and replaces the evil he has done with good deeds, illuminates this world like the moon freed from clouds.

- Dammapada (paraphrased)

#Buddhism

#Photography by Rafael Minguet Delgado
A scenic view of a hilltop structure silhouetted against a rising full moon. The architecture includes a tower and a building with an illuminated cross, suggesting a historic castle or church. The hill is covered in greenery, with a winding path leading upward. The sky transitions from purple to pink, indicating dusk or dawn. The alignment of the moon behind the structure creates a dramatic, almost mystical atmosphere—evoking themes of pilgrimage, celestial timing, and quiet reverence.

Think not lightly of evil, saying, "It will not come to me."
Drop by drop is the water pot filled.
Likewise, the fool, gathering it little by little, fills himself with evil.

- Dhammapada

#photography by Daniel Kux
Close-up of a single water droplet suspended in mid-air above a body of water. Below, the droplet creates a small splash and concentric ripples that radiate outward. The background fades in blue tones, emphasizing the clarity and motion. The image evokes the Dhammapada’s warning: “Drop by drop is the water pot filled”—a visual metaphor for how small actions, repeated, shape character and consequence.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.”

— Gautama Buddha

#Photography by Sarbajit Sen
#Buddhism
A monk in traditional orange and white robes walks up a set of stone steps, seen from behind, with hands clasped. The monk has a shaved head and ascends toward a large statue of Buddha’s head, which bears a serene expression and a stylised hair bun with a decorative headpiece. The sky is clear and blue, casting a peaceful light over the scene. The image evokes themes of devotion, spiritual ascent, and reverence in Buddhist practice.

Audie Murphy, the most decorated soldier of WW2, lied about his age to get into the army

He received every military combat award for valor available

When asked how he found the courage to hold off an entire German company single-handedly, he replied simply:

"They were killing my friends"
