Revisiting scenes from backpacking 2025. I forget which lake this is in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Does it matter what it's called? Just look at it! 😍

Scotland must always remain a welcoming country for migrants and refugees.

It's not illegal to seek asylum and refuge here, no matter the circumstances.

Full Moons throughout the year are traditionally given names that reflect seasonal changes and agricultural practices. October's full Moon is commonly known as the Hunter's Moon, this year it also serves as the Harvest Moon, the full moon that rises closest to the autumn equinox…

And so it was two nights ago
As when the clouds were blown apart to show
This nighttime eye of heaven shine
Not too brightly but with the palest radiance
In the deep blue sky.

I took this at 13:26 hours on Monday. It wasn’t dark. Nothing like it. In the other direction it was a clear day. This view made me stop the car and take a quick shot. It is not enhanced except by cropping. It is a close-up. I was ready for it.

“Dark of the moon and the longest night.
The deepest dark is here. Long live the light!”

A traditional Solstice chant or blessing, typically recited during Yule. It hails the 'rebirth of the sun'
