This photo captures the iconic "Maiden with the Seagull" statue, a major symbol of Opatija, Croatia. The bronze statue of a woman holding a seagull is perched on a rocky outcrop right at the edge of the Adriatic Sea. The sky is dramatic, covered with heavy, overcast clouds, but a strip of golden light from the setting or rising sun is visible near the horizon, adding a striking contrast to the dark, choppy sea and rugged rocks. The overall atmosphere is one of serene, yet powerful, coastal beauty. This is a bronze sculpture of the renowned Croatian writer Miroslav Krleža (1893–1981). The work was created by the Croatian sculptor Marija Ujević-Galetović. The statue features a heavy, monolithic, and rounded form that captures the writer in a contemplative, pensive pose. His head is slightly bowed, and his body appears enveloped in loose-fitting clothing or a cloak, emphasizing his intellectual depth and often somber themes. The sculpture has a patina (natural oxidation) that gives it shades of blue and green, especially towards the base. It is situated on a large, roughly finished stone pedestal, which is set in a green, landscaped area of Opatija (Croatia), near the Lungomare coastal promenade, surrounded by palm trees and low stone walls.

💁:"There's a very strong Slavic amnesia mace out here. 🔨💡 Let there be #light — and a little #heat now and then."
This photo shows a beige wall switch panel with three black switches, each labeled with a small icon above it. The icons indicate the function of each switch: the left one appears to control a water heater, the middle one a fan, and the right one a light. The panel looks slightly aged and has two screw holes on either side for mounting.

“Touch some grass, look at the sky, pick a few plums in nature from time to time. It’s much harder to stay angry at the world or at yourself when you step outside arbitrary metrics.”

*This post is not sponsored by ~daily motivational quotes; reflects the personal, unfiltered opinion of the author.
The photo shows a clear blue sky framed by the tops of several trees. Sunlight illuminates the green foliage, highlighting the texture and shape of the branches. The scene feels calm and open, evoking a peaceful connection with nature. The photo shows a person giving a thumbs-up next to a container filled with ripe plums. The plums are a dark purple color and have a white, powdery bloom on their skin, which is a natural feature. The container is a clear plastic tub, sitting on a wooden table.

🧑‍🚀🕵️🧑‍🎓: Random science fact of the day:

The fastest human-made object is NASA's Parker Solar Probe, launched in 2018.

It’s currently zipping through space at over 635,000 km/h (394,000 mph) as it dives toward the Sun.

#ParkerSolarProbe #SpaceExploration #ScienceFact #NASA
#SolarScience
#Astrophysics
This captivating image visually represents the Parker Solar Probe on its daring mission, with the Sun's fiery surface and dramatic solar flares as a backdrop. The probe, equipped with its solar panels extended, appears to be rapidly approaching our star, emphasizing its incredible speed and close proximity. While this is an artist's rendition, it effectively conveys the essence of humanity's fastest spacecraft exploring the Sun's outer corona. The Parker Solar Probe is designed to withstand extreme heat and radiation, allowing it to study the solar wind and the Sun's magnetic field closer than any previous spacecraft. Its primary mission is to unravel two long-standing mysteries: why the Sun's corona is millions of degrees hotter than its surface, and how the solar wind is accelerated to supersonic speeds. As of today, NASA's Parker Solar Probe is indeed the fastest human-made object ever made. As of its recent close approaches to the Sun, it has reached speeds of over 635,000 km/h (394,000 mph). That speed will increase even further with each successive orbit due to gravity assists from Venus, eventually nearing 700,000 km/h (430,000 mph). It was launched in 2018 with the mission to study the Sun's outer atmosphere (the corona), helping scientists understand solar wind and space weather.

This image is a meme based on the card game UNO, humorously representing the dilemma of reusing old work versus facing a consequence. Left side: Shows a customized UNO Wild card with the text: "Don't use old projects OR draw 25" Right side: Shows a man (sitting at a table with a can of Sprite) holding a large number of UNO cards, clearly having chosen to "draw 25" rather than follow the instruction not to use old projects. Interpretation: The meme humorously implies that the person would rather go through a much more difficult or tedious process (drawing 25 cards) than avoid reusing past projects - often relatable for students, developers, or professionals who frequently recycle their work.

You can hate Jeff or plastics all you want, but this thing right here goes "Whoooshhhh!" in the summertime.

🍉😎
This image shows a watermelon-themed plastic container set. The container is green and semi-circular, resembling a watermelon slice. It comes with a red lid featuring a watermelon graphic and the word “WATERMELON” printed on it, along with the phrase "Enjoy Summer Life." Also included is a white plastic insert, likely for draining or separating contents inside the container.

Here are some of the photos 📸 my teddybear 🧸 took during its evening stroll on International Workers' Day. As you can see in the background, there is a large, slow-moving construction project with Circus Colorado situated in the center. #CircusColorado #MoloLongoRun #FerrisWheel #ConstructionSlowMo
The image shows a fountain illuminated with green lights at night. The fountain has a circular design with water spraying upwards and outwards, and it's surrounded by a stone structure. In the background, there are buildings and some construction work is visible. The image shows a brightly lit Ferris wheel, likely part of local traveling Circus Colorado, at night. The lights of the Ferris wheel and the surrounding area are reflected in the water, creating a vibrant scene. In the background, the silhouette of a buildings can be seen. The photo captures a lively and festive ('dead') atmosphere. The image shows Molo Longo in Rijeka at dusk, with the sky displaying a gradient of orange and blue. The calm water reflects the city lights and the silhouettes of cranes and ships in the harbor. The concrete walkway of Molo Longo stretches into the scene, providing a foreground perspective to the tranquil harbor view. The photo captures a serene and industrial beauty of the Rijeka waterfront.

"Petal to the Me(n)tal"
🌷🌼💜☀️💨🌿😊📸✨🌈🌸
#April #AprilBloom #SpringVibes #FlowerPower #NatureBeauty
🌷🌼💜☀️💨🌿😊📸✨🌈🌸😉
This photograph captures a vibrant and dynamic scene of typical April flowers in full bloom under a bright, partly cloudy sky. A field of red and yellow tulips stretches towards the horizon, their petals catching the sunlight. Interspersed among the tulips are clusters of cheerful yellow and white daffodils, adding to the colorful tapestry. In the foreground, striking purple grape hyacinths stand out with their tightly packed, bell-shaped blossoms. The camera appears to have captured a sense of motion, perhaps due to a long exposure, with streaks of light emanating from the flowers and the sky, creating a "petal to the metal" feeling of speed and energy within the serene floral landscape.

🧑‍💻🤓🕵️- Random Science fact of the Day:

In the Arctic, permafrost soil frozen for thousands of years is thawing due to rising temperatures.

This process releases trapped methane, a potent greenhouse gas that further accelerates climate change.

#ClimateAction #Permafrost #GlobalWarming #ScienceFact
Illustration depicting the thawing permafrost in the Arctic. It shows the cracks in the frozen soil, rising methane bubbles, and the warming environment. Permafrost: Permafrost is ground that remains frozen for at least two consecutive years. It contains large amounts of organic matter, including the remains of plants and animals. Thawing Permafrost: As global temperatures rise, permafrost is thawing at an accelerated rate. This thawing process allows microorganisms in the soil to decompose the previously frozen organic matter. Methane Release: The decomposition of organic matter by these microorganisms produces methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas. Methane is significantly more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide (CO2) over shorter time scales. Climate Change Feedback Loop: The release of methane from thawing permafrost creates a positive feedback loop, meaning it further contributes to global warming, which in turn leads to more permafrost thawing and more methane release.

6 out of 7 #optometrists recommend these #sunglasses while visiting 'scenic countryside' for proper eye protection from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

😎 And let's not even get started on groups, add-ons, ClearSky, and GitHub shenanigans.
Ah, yes, a thrilling glimpse into the cutting-edge world of digital customization. Behold, the groundbreaking choice between "light" and "dark" modes, a decision that surely rivals choosing a life partner in complexity. And let's not forget the font selection – "system" or "theme," because apparently, our eyes are so discerning they can tell the difference.
