Protect the Wild

@protectthewild.bsky.social

Fox hunting is a cruel and outdated practice that has no place in today’s world. 🦊 Foxes are intelligent, resourceful, and vital to our ecosystems.

They deserve respect, not persecution. Let’s stand together against this disgusting tradition and protect these amazing animals.

For #Januarty day 19: Liquid

A beautiful oasis in the desert. Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah.

See Alt text for more details.

One of the best hikes in Escalante takes you to this amazing oasis in the desert. Gorgeous Navajo sandstone cliffs, rich with desert varnish, and pre-historic rock art are some of the sights you'll see along the way. There is also a nice variety of flora and fauna here. As you get closer to the 130 ft. falls, a lush riparian habitat takes over. I love the color in the mineral-streaked sandstone, and the green from the moss and algae growing along these walls. This spot is a true oasis in the desert.

Another Day In Paradise…

Streaks of dark clouds in front of the setting sun. Rough waters with waves. Sun reflection on the beach sand.

📷 This NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope image shows NGC 346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies, and the study of which recently solved a puzzle by proving a controversial finding made using NASA/ESA #Hubble over 20 years ago!

When the moon hits your eye

A full moon shines brightly in a clear night sky over a mountain range. A ski slope and a cluster of snow-covered pines are lit with golden stadium lights below.

One of my favourite places to photograph in North East #Scotland is this sea stack at Muchalls.
Unfortunately, the path down the cliff to access it has deteriorated so much that I haven't shot it in a few years.

Here's is a #sunrise from when I was last there.

lots of devastation and negativity on the feed today.

i know this won’t solve anything, but maybe it’ll make someone smile and just forget for a small moment.

the beauty of the cosmos 🌌

Large orange, yellow, and red clouds of dust and gas tower in the image, interspersed with a few pink stars.

A spiral galaxy with a wide, oval-shaped disk. It has a shining spot at the center from which two curving, pale red spiral arms emerge, wrapping once each around the galaxy. They’re surrounded by a whirl of bright threads and patches of dust, with spots of star formation scattered throughout. The glow of the disk fades smoothly into the background where some patches of dust can be seen, as well as foreground stars.

The Orion Nebula is an expansive and cloudy cosmic landscape. Sweeping clouds that shine in pink, yellow, orange, and other colors are bright against the black backdrop of space. Big stars are forming and glowing within the nebula.

$Hundreds of stars and galaxies in varying shapes, sizes and colors on a black background. Two of the largest, most prominent stars can be found in the top left quadrant and near the bottom right edge, respectively. They are tinged with blue and have an eight-point diffraction spike pattern. Near the center of this image is the ZS7 system, made up of a merger between two galaxies and their black holes. The ZS7 system is not easily seen by the naked eye in this image, as it looks like very small red dots.$
