Hello Bluesky. I'm here because Meta doesn't want me. Looking forward to post unfiltered, unhinged and un-whatever stuff here. Tell your friends!

Been trying to read Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. It’d be a hard enough read without it looking like fiction imitating life in the US at the moment. My mental health is even more tenuous than usual.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

(2/3) The UK government is doing its best to live up to this commitment, but the US is effectively siding with Russia in undermining it. Instead of seeing its sovereignty preserved, Ukraine is being pressured to accept a lopsided peace agreement without real guarantees.

(3/3) With decades of Western policy consensus callously swept aside, European nations must now do everything within their power to preserve Ukraine’s sovereignty and repel Russia’s aggression.

It’s another boat. I did say I had a thing about them - probably because my dad was a merchant seaman. This one was taken on an impromptu walk along the #Sussex coast last year

I do have a thing for boats. Taken in Brancaster Staithe on a wonderfully chilly March morning.

Stranded sailing boat lying on sand at dawn, during blue hour. Soft sunlight just appearing on the horizon with mid level clouds in the sky.

The River Lea near Amwell in #Hertfordshire in the pre-dawn mist.

Boat reflected in the River Lea at Dawn. Early autumn trees reflected in the water with a pastel sky and a navigation light in the distance.

Found an old friend hiding in Dropbox. I thought it’d lost it in a catastrophic hard drive failure. Taken after a squall in #Norfolk

Haven’t been able to decide on which #placeihavebeen to share recently. Finally decided on #Scotland again, which is always in my heart. #Glencoe #panorama of the 3 Sisters from a couple of years ago. Needed some peace during these troubled times.

Early morning Mount Fuji. I love the twilight light from the opposite direction of a sunrise, especially with mountains. This was late autumn season, when I saw lots of autumn leaves at the bottom of the lake. Taken with a CPL to make them visible.

A memorably peaceful #placeihavebeen looking across the Moray Firth from #Lossiemouth lighthouse in NE #Scotland. Re-toned version of this hangs in our hall.

A #placeihavebeen ages ago. Trecked through the darkness to reach this spot in Northumberland to capture the dawn light hitting #Dunstanburgh #castle

A bit more local for today’s #placeihavebeen. A recent frosty day at #panshangerpark. I love it when somewhere you know so well throws a new experience to remind you how beautiful the world is

Thick frost on the ground with an isolated house in the middle distance and frosty trees behind. Just the hint of a pink sky and mist in the background

I'm really pleased that the ripples receeded just enough for the mountain's reflection to appear.
A fleeting moment as it disappeared within seconds.
Right place at the right time.

Today’s #placeihavebeen is from #Mykines in the #FaroeIslands. Needed a butt-crunching ride on a RIB to get there, but the low cloud added a wonderful mood. Might post the puffin images another time.

Another Scandinavian image, this time from #Helsinki in #Finland, the day after a massive snowstorm swept in off the Baltic. You’ll have to wait until we travel to #Lofoten in June for a Norway image.
