Lots of new followers lately, mostly posting about #politics. I'm sure you're all lovely people, but I don't want a feed full of politics. So please don't be offended if I don't follow back.

Ivan Aivazovsky, Russian (1817-1900), Sand Pebbles

This image also circulates online with the title Sand Pepper, which makes even less sense than Sand Pebbles, but I am unable to find much of anything about the work

Where the river meets the sea.

South coast, #Iceland
Some large waves coming into shore where the sand is black. Also a yellow river is coming down to meet the sea and there is some mixed up bits in the incoming waves which are yellow/orange.

Northern Lights in the South of Germany
Caught them with some Fog (of course) in the Lake Chiemsee region. A beautiful start into the day.

Fireworks by Mother Nature…

#AuroraBorealis
This image captures a vibrant display of the aurora borealis (northern lights) over a rural landscape at night. The sky is illuminated with striking vertical streaks of red, pink, green, yellow, and purple light, creating a mesmerizing curtain-like effect across the horizon. Below the aurora, the landscape shows a quiet countryside with open fields, a few buildings, distant lights, and silhouetted trees along the right edge. A road leads into the scene from the foreground, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the horizon where the colorful lights meet the clouds. Stars are visible throughout the sky, adding to the sense of depth and wonder. The image, marked © WJBPhoto, showcases the majesty of a geomagnetic storm lighting up the northern sky.

Happy pre-birthday hubby! Glad you had cookies to ease the anxiety. I have cousins here that drive me nuts too (MAGA 😣!) Arrived safely. The rentals are close together!!! 😳 We’re satisfied. We’re in a cove (like you!!) & the walk to the beach just two minutes. Pic from last night.

Brazenose Street Manchester
A quiet street in Manchester with a row of tall trees on the left next to the The John Rylands Library. On the right is a tall glass fronted building. Across the street on is another tall tower block with several storeys of rectangular windows that are reflecting the blue sky above. In the distance is Lincoln Square with more autumnal trees and the spire of Manchester Town Hall that can just be seen and a section of a white ferris wheel

House-builder, you are seen,
you will not build a house again.
All the rafters are broken,
the ridgepole destroyed.
The mind, gone to the Unconstructed,
has reached the end of craving.

Buddha, 5th century BCE

Against the backdrop of a blue sky at dawn, a seated Buddha statue with a row of circular pillars on either side. Had ached to experience Wat Mahathat (Temple Of The Great Relic), Sukhothai without hordes of other tourists. So as dawn broke, an unlocked side entrance allowed the stillness, inwardness and poise of this sublime Buddha steal my breath away. Thank you, Thailand.

a rustic log cabin, known as the Van Dusen cabin, situated in Holcomb Valley near Big Bear Lake, California. The cabin, which dates back to the 19th century, is a historical landmark in the San Bernardino National Forest. A large tree stands in the foreground of a grassy field, with a wooden fence running along the right side of the frame. A dense pine forest is visible in the background, under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Photograph of the bell to the library in the servants quarters at Speke Hall, Liverpool. Mounted on a piece of dark wood, the gold-coloured bell is attached by a curve of metal. Underneath is an indication of the room the bell links to, in this case the library. Wonder how many times this bell rang as opposed to other rooms...were the occupants bookworms or not?
