#Mindfulness is the ability to stay with one particular thing for awhile

Through meditation we can develop this quality by sustained attention on one focus for a few minutes: such as the movement of breath through the body, or repetition of a simple mantra

As mind wanders notice and return

Fog in the Distance (2026) Taken at Fort Amherst, Newfoundland. Do we prefer the colour or mono version? #Scape #atlanticocean #ClassicMono #newfoundland #eastcoastkin #seascape #photography

Mummy of Yuya in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Dates from approx. 1390 BC. I could not get over the fact that the facial hair is still intact and can be clearly seen. Zoom in! Taken in Feb 2020. #PalacesAndGardens #Ghosts&Phantoms #mummy #ancientegypt #eastcoastkin #FebruArty2026 #forgotten

Fort Amherst Lighthouse, Newfoundland - guards the mouth of St. John’s harbour, and was named after colonel William Amherst, who recaptured St. John’s from the French in 1762. #lighthouse #coloraday #redwed #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEForEponymous #eastcoastkin

This panoramic photograph captures an elevated view of a city landscape at the break of dawn, taken from a rugged, rocky vantage point.

In the foreground, the dark, jagged rocks of a dormant volcano dominate the left side of the frame. A lone figure, wearing a light grey hoodie, is crouched near the edge of the cliff, setting down a lens ball before taking a photograph. The person is small relative to the expansive scene.
The mid-ground and background showcase an urban sprawl stretching across a wide, relatively flat plain. The city buildings are densely packed, featuring a mix of architectural styles and heights, illuminated by a scattering of artificial lights that suggest the time is early morning. Beyond the city, a distant horizon line is visible of more land fading into the ambient light.
The sky above is a dramatic canvas of deep blues, purples, and greys. Large, voluminous clouds are scattered across the sky, catching the first light of the sun, which appears to be just below the horizon. The colours in the sky transition from a lighter, slightly pinkish-orange hue near the horizon to deeper, more saturated blues and greys higher up. The overall lighting is low, creating a moody and serene atmosphere.
To the right of the frame, another large, grassy hill slopes downwards, providing a contrast to the rocky terrain on the left. The perspective is from a significant height, offering a sweeping, majestic view of the entire area.
The composition uses the dark foreground elements to frame the brighter, more detailed cityscape and sky, leading the viewer's eye across the scene. The image evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and the vastness of the landscape compared to the human presence.

Watching these two Herring Gulls floating in the Atlantic was very entertaining. Floating around, looking like they were giving side-eye and judging the other more energetic birds. Reminded me of the old guys from the Muppets! lol #BirdOfTheDay #GullsInWater #EastCoastKin #photography #birds 🪶

Els arbres reflexen les seves siluetes a l'aigua. En primer pla, unes quantes canyes de marge petites.

C'è un approdo nel bianco,
come un segreto tra dita di ghiaccio,
dove il respiro si fa trasparente,
senza più un nome da dover trascinare.
