@sarahdalgulls Without knowing your definition of "not too expensive," I can suggest NW #Poland - #Wolin Island. More suitable for cycling trips, but you don't have to do such long routes as I did.

That moment when the wind picks up and the sea turns restless. Standing here, you feel the weight of the Baltic - how it’s shaped this coastline for centuries. The lighthouse isn’t just a landmark; it’s a silent witness to storms, shipwrecks, and the quiet resilience of this place.
Poland’s Wolin Island. The grey skies, the salt in the air, the way the light makes everything feel both harsh and beautiful. One of those spots that makes you pause and listen to the waves.

A windy but gorgeous Sunday — too sunny to stay off the #bike! Back at the #SzczecinLagoon today to explore the #breakwater and dredged areas.

Met a surprisingly patient hare while scouting old bunkers — it actually posed for photos! 🐰 Incredible visibility from the pier looking towards #Wolin and #Miedzyzdroje.

Ta niedziela była wietrzna, ale tak słoneczna że nie można było nie wsiąść na #rower i wyruszyć na #szlak. Tym razem znów #ZalewSzczeciński ale w innych okolicach - #refulaty i #falochron.

Po drodze podczas oględzin starych bunkrów spotkanie z zającem 🐰, który o dziwo pięknie pozował przez kilka minut.

Na samym falochronie niesamowicie dobra widoczność na Zalew, w kierunku na #Wolin i #Międzyzdroje oraz mniejsze miejscowości

"Responsible little being" | Size: 21x25cm

Some time ago I found two photos of toddlers "doing kids things" which is adorable but also fascinating.

Didn't catch it fully on drawing, but I'll try to paint it bigger size and more detailed soon.

Truth be told, though, Trump is the symptom - not the cause - of what passes for “democracy” in the US!

Indeed, in his excellent Substack article (4 Sept 2022) “Let’s Stop Pretending America Is A Functioning Democracy”, Chris Hedges argues that “decades in the making [..] only the fiction of democracy” remains now that the slow-motion corporate coup has succeeded!

“The slow-motion coup is over. Corporations and the billionaire class have won. There are no institutions, including the press, an electoral system that is little more than legalized bribery, the imperial presidency, the courts or the penal system, that can be defined as democratic. Only the fiction of democracy remains”

Let’s Stop Pretending America Is A Functioning Democracy

A functioning democracy could easily dispatch Donald Trump and his doppelgängers. A failed democracy and bankrupt liberalism assures their ascendancy.

Heute war Wildschweintag. Im Wald später dann noch eines getroffen auf 20 Meter. Wir haben uns aber in die Augen geschaut und waren uns einig, dass keiner Stress haben will. 🐗
