Industry quietly breaches every vista.
A lone duck perches on a piling at the edge of a grassy strip overlooking the glassy Columbia River, dominating the serene vista is a giant, grey container ship quietly moving upriver. The far Washington shore is rusty with fall colors, but the poor duck can't see it because of that huge ship. Well, there's still the glorious pale blue sky stretching on forever to comfort our lone Oregon duck.

Larch trees in fall foliage off hwy 18 near Willamina, Oregon, make a giant happy face on the forested hillside every year. Don't worry....

Nostalgic. Something to do while waiting for a flu shot. 😸

Just for fun? I love to find new publications that have the Latin texts included with the translations, like this one recently put out by Uppsala Books:
uppsalabooks.com/waltharius
Book cover art of Waltharius: The Latin Epic of Walther of Aquitaine, Translated by Brian Murdoch and Edited by Leonard Neidorf. Cream cover with a field of green over rolling, brown hills; an armored and caped hero runs from a horde of mounted, spear wielding attackers.
