I kinda like this satirical depiction of The Donald after his pathetic attempt at dismissing a reporter. I had to be careful to ask ChatGPT to generate this image in just the right way so it would actually do it! 😉

My time in #Borneo in 2018 was so rewarding. The animals and people who live there were fascinating and unique, and the In Focus group I was travelling with were all keen #travellers, and many were experienced #photographers. My #travelogue - joetourist.ca/tours-by-yea...

I keep a journal, which comes in handy when I travel to create my JoeTourist travelogue from so many unique experiences I would otherwise soon forget! Here is my recent trip to Northern Canada: my words, maps, links, photos and videos, all pulled together - joetourist.ca/tours-by-yea...

A smoky sunset with the Moon low in the sky over the city and some crepuscular rays. Our southwesterly flow has stopped, so the #wildfire smoke has finally found us. A 5-frame #aerial #panorama taken this evening from low altitude with my #drone.

The #Dempster Highway, northern #Canada's only all-weather highway to the #Arctic Ocean. Built on #tundra in the northern section and through valleys and mountains in the south, it presents unique experiences and natural beauty along its 740 km length. Photos & video www.flickr.com/photos/joeto...

The Canadian Forces #Snowbirds aerobatic team flying over Victoria this evening. I didn't get up to our local hilltop, so these are shot through the trees in our neighbourhood.

I just purchased a 908g bag of Ethical Bean espresso beans from London Drugs for $25.99. Based in Vancouver and an excellent tasting coffee. Perhaps you need to shop around? www.londondrugs.com/products/eth...

I'm taking a mid-summer trip to the Yukon & NWT, going north to Inuvik on the Mackenzie River Delta and Tuktoyaktuk on the the Arctic Ocean. In the Yukon: spectacular Tombstone Range, Kluane National Park, Dawson City, and exploring along the Klondike River.

A year ago today, the most spectacular #Aurora Borealis with Coronae gave us a superb show, converging directly overhead. Observed from southern Vancouver Island. Flashes of red, hot pink, and green in rapid succession amazed us.

A very good omen the night before the Total Solar Eclipse - a Green Flash as our ship leaves Mazatlan's port to find position on the centreline for tomorrow. #eclipse #ship #ocean #sunset My travelogue - joetourist.ca/mazatlan/

On this day last year I was aboard the Discovery Princess off the coast from Mazatlan, Mexico. I enjoyed my cappuccino and an eclipse-themed breakfast before being wowed by a beautiful Total Solar Eclipse from my balcony. It was a good day by any measure! 😎 Travelogue - joetourist.ca/2024-total-s...

Japan's stock market is now open, and the Nikkei index lost 9% in the first half hour. It has recovered somewhat to about -6% over the last couple of hours. The Donald has not just thrown the USA economy off the cliff...it's worldwide. Have you saved lots of cash and put it somewhere safe? 😉

A friend asked ChatGPT to create a cartoon of The Donald golfing while Rome (#USA) burns. The AI engine did a pretty good job of summing up the situation! 😉

Thanks for posting your empathetic message to my fellow Canadian travellers. Even before this crisis in the USA, I've always appreciated your stated mission in life & business to help your fellow citizens broaden their horizons. I offer another view of fascism from a great Canadian, Tommy Douglas.

Total Lunar Eclipse - partial phases to Totality yesterday evening, Victoria, BC, Canada.
I was working against cloud to photograph this eclipse, so my photos lack sharpness and detail. At least I was out there and observed the first half of this apparition before I had to flee the rain and hail!
