Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.

Not the case.

It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.

Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.

By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.

So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.

This has got to be the brightest coloured #sunset I've ever seen in my life. I actually had to tone down the saturation when I was post-processing this photo. This was taken from Île du Havre Aubert, one of the islands that constitute the archipelago that is Îles de la Madeleine in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, #Quebec. I really can't recommend a visit to these islands enough.

Kirkjufellfoss, #Iceland 🌈

I left Reykjavik early morning and headed 3 hours north to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula to shoot Kirkjufell.
We arrived at the famous peak. It was a downpour. My heart sank. Exhausted and still to early to go eat dinner, I took a nap in the car for “a few minutes.” A few minutes turned into an hour.
As I slept, the sun had come out behind me and woke me up. I turned and looked at Kirkjufell. My jaw dropped. #Rainbow over Kirkjufell!

A superb 17thC gravestone at Torphichen Preceptory. Scottish stones of this period have a far earlier look to them at times. Look at those standing figures!
