Edinburgh Castle last night for the #Hogmanay celebrations. Happy new year to anyone who sees and reads this! #NewYears
A wide night shot of Edinburgh Castle in Scotland, dramatically illuminated with vibrant cobalt blue and purple lights. From behind the castle walls, numerous bright blue light beams shoot upward into a dark, cloudy night sky, creating a fan-like searchlight effect. The historic stone fortress sits atop the dark, jagged silhouette of Castle Rock. In the lower right foreground, the modern, lit windows of a rectangular office building provide a sharp architectural contrast to the medieval castle. The overall atmosphere is cinematic and celebratory, typical of a major event like Hogmanay.

One of my favourite shots from the Van Gogh immersive exhibit at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh #Art #Photography
A decorative artwork in an ornate carved wooden frame showing bright sunflowers in the foreground, their yellow and orange petals vivid against a deep blue, swirling night sky inspired by Starry Night, with curling clouds, glowing stars, and a crescent moon above a dark, textured landscape.

Edinburgh Castle tonight
A nighttime wide shot shows Edinburgh Castle perched atop its volcanic rock, illuminated with vibrant blue and pink lights for a festive display. On the steep rock face below the castle, two large circular light projections resemble Christmas baubles—one blue and one pink with yellow patterns. ​The foreground is filled with the dark silhouettes of bare winter trees and a few evergreens lit by colorful spotlights. A string of warm white fairy lights follows a pathway along a metal fence in the lower-left. The sky is dark and moody, with a faint light beam cutting through the clouds in the upper-left corner.

My next read. Saw it and I couldn't not pick it up. Really looking forward to getting started on this one 😁 #BookSky
A hand holding the hardback book How to Kill a Witch: A Guide for the Patriarchy. The cover is designed like an old execution notice, with distressed cream paper, ornate black borders, and red flame motifs along the sides. The title is in large black serif lettering, with a rope noose forming the letter “O” in “How.” Review quotes appear at the top. The authors’ names, Claire Mitchell and Zoe Venditozzi, are printed near the bottom, along with “The Witches of Scotland.” A blue circular sticker in the lower right corner reads “Signed Edition.” The overall tone is stark, historical, and confrontational.

Yesterday morning in Saudi Arabia. Such a foggy start to the day. #Photography
A wide shot of empty, metal outdoor bleachers next to a large, dense tree, all heavily obscured by a thick, pale fog. The ground is dark and wet, suggesting early morning or recent rain. In the distance, a wooden fence line and what appears to be a field or track are barely visible through the haze, giving the scene a quiet, eerie, and solitary atmosphere.

A 12 hour work day comes to an end. An epic day of Dressage and TREC. My riders claiming a two 1st places, three 3rds. Very happy and proud of my students

Tempted to maybe get a new tattoo in Edinburgh. A modern take on the double disc and z rod. An old Pictish symbol whose meaning is lost to time.
The symbol, known as the "Double Disc and Z-Rod," is composed of two joined circles with a zig-zagging rod that passes through them. The rod is often a reverse-Z shape

Jennan giving a wee smile for the camera 🥰 #EquinePhotography, #HorsePhotography, #Equestrian, #HorsesOfBluesky
​A close-up, slightly low-angle photo of a dark brown or black horse's head looking directly at the camera, with a rider visible immediately behind it. ​The horse has its mouth slightly open, showing its teeth in what looks like a grin, and appears to have a small amount of white foam or saliva at its mouth. It is wearing a black bridle and the rider is wearing a black helmet, a white t-shirt, a protective vest, and black and white patterned riding tights. The background is a blurred outdoor equestrian setting with a white fence and green trees under a bright, slightly hazy sky. The focus is sharp on the horse's face.

If reincarnation is real… 🙏🏼
A large Galápagos tortoise stretches its long neck upward while resting near a shallow pool of water, its rough, weathered shell and textured skin clearly visible. In the corner, a circular inset shows a close-up of the same tortoise’s face, mouth open as if mid-bite, with bits of yellow food on its beak. White text at the bottom of the image reads: “Sex addict tortoise retires at age 130 after saving his species with over 800 offspring.”

Been out sick the last week from work and I’ve missed the job. Back in tomorrow to get back to this 🫶
Two riders on horseback move through a dusty trail at sunset. The rider on the left is on a dark horse, wearing a helmet and sleeveless black shirt, while the rider on the right is on a white horse with a turquoise ear bonnet and blue helmet. The low sun casts a warm orange glow across the scene, with dust clouds swirling around their horses’ hooves and tall power lines stretching into the distance.

Watching Pom Poko again recently from #StudioGhibli and I love the… ballsiness… of this scene #Ghibli #Movies #Film #Anime
A two-panel anime screenshot showing a humorous scene from Pom Poko. In the first image, a group of tanuki (raccoon dogs) sit together on a bright red carpet under cherry blossom trees, while one elder tanuki addresses them, saying in subtitles: “Now then, what do you think the carpet you are all sitting on is?” In the second image, the elder tanuki, winking and smiling mischievously, reveals in the subtitles: “I may as well tell you. It’s my testicles!”

My favourite view #EquestrianLife #HorseLovers #GallopingThroughNature #MajesticHorses #EquineBeauty #StableVibes #HorsePhotography #RidingAdventures #PaddockViews #EquineInspiration
A view from horseback along a sandy trail at sunset, with the horse’s grey mane and ears visible in the foreground. The path is surrounded by low desert shrubs, and the sun casts a warm golden light over the landscape. Power lines stretch across the horizon above the trees and bushes in the distance.

A chestnut horse with a blue halter is trotting on grass inside a fenced paddock, with white rail fences, palm trees, and green trees in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

Saw on Reddit, so fucking true. Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE. Fuck the GOP. Fuck MAGA.
A black background with white text and the username “razorchef” in red at the top, from Reddit. The post reads: “If you are using undocumented immigrants’ tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes. If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working. If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to ‘do it the right way’. If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals. If you’re refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution. If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border. If you’re spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy. And if you’re doing all this in the name of a 34-time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.”

View from horseback of a quiet road lined with palm trees at sunrise, with a warm pink and orange sky gradually fading into blue, and streetlights still glowing softly in the early morning light.

It’s #Caturday so I have to show you this beauty 😻 I love this kitty 🐈
A cream-colored cat with round eyes and folded ears lies on a patch of soil at night, with bright green grass in the background and blurred lights and trees behind. The cat looks alert and slightly wide-eyed, its paws tucked neatly under its body.

A pic of tonight’s lunar eclipse taken on my phone. First #eclipse I’ve seen in Saudi Arabia 😍
A reddish moon partially covered in shadow during a lunar eclipse, set against a dark night sky with a faint star (Saturn) visible in the lower left corner.
