The Badlands suffused in twilit clouds are truly special, like you slip from our world into some shadow realm of an alien planet. I dare say my new photographic piece "Dark Sentinels" goes some way to capture that atmosphere.

I was thinking I'd save this one or edit it or something, but it's just so magnificent and such an event I just have to share it now! My capture from July 11, 2023, "Storm rising at Devil's Tower".

Quite a generation, if you ask me. A city noir under the northern lights, skyline evocative of the Soviet style. Norilsk in some alternate history? Or perhaps the future?

A sneak peak of the future in one striking August 4, 2010 photograph: Mars rover Opportunity blazing the solar system's loneliest trail.

Europeans became so powerful by the 19th century that they conquered the world as a side project, but ultimately their impact on the conquered, like the Mongols before them, will prove a mile wide and an inch deep.

I'm grateful that my grandparents left me a house, but why did they have to buy one in an LCOL area? Makes moving to any of the HCOL areas I actually like a real uphill climb, especially compared to all the privileged people who say "just downsize to a cheaper area!" Blech.

John Martin's "Joshua commanding the Sun to stand still" has a powerful aesthetic, commanding the viewer: embrace the Sublime.

Places shouldn't have to stay in a country if they don't want to, but they shouldn't be annexed against their will either. I very much hope Putin doesn't do the latter to the rest of Ukraine; aside from being wrongful it would cause grievous fallout for the whole Western world.

As for what actually awaits us, and what's in store for our ruling class, I'll paraphrase one of Q's quotes from Star Trek: "You judge yourselves against the pitiful enemies you've encountered so far: the Pauls, the Trumps. They're *nothing* compared to what's waiting."
