A bit of a sheep gathering checking out sun rising behind the Mourne mountains from the Turf Road above Omeath, Co. Louth. A lovely memory from this day 2023.

Summer giving way to autumn in Carlingford, County Louth. Misty clouds rolling over the hills. Everyone will miss summer but the light and colours autumn brings adds a lot of atmosphere.

The photography of Ann Bruen @annbruen.bsky.social is amazing. I've been following her social media posts for a while now and I'm blown away each time.

@williamcrawley.bsky.social in a nutshell.
"The idea that you can get inside Trump's psyche and figure out how to have a good relationship with him, I think that's a mistake because there's no operative: true, false, good, evil — it's only what is advantageous or disadvantageous to him at any given moment in time."

The most idiotic part of Trump's behaviour yesterday was that he thinks Putin (or anyone else) respects him.
That international deals are made and kept based on the leaders respecting each other. That a ceasefire would hold cause Putin respects him more than Biden and Obama.

The hubris of the US. How the world's richest country turned to destruction of itself and everything around.
Is the article I'm interested to read. Because that's where we are.

There is no restoring relations with Trump cause what Trump is after is against Ukraine's national security and economic interests.
There is also no reasoning with a delusional person.
