A rural nighttime scene with leafless trees and a wooden house in the foreground. The sky is filled with stars, with faint streaks suggesting meteors or satellites. The Milky Way is visible stretching vertically across the sky, adding to the serene and celestial atmosphere.

Tonight in Krumbach/ Bregenz Forest . Before the moon is too high in the sky, the Milky Way is still faintly visible. #astrophotography #milkyway #bregenzerwald #leica #leicasl

Private equity looted 3 Connecticut hospitals. Services cut, nurses buying their own supplies etc. They will do it to your hospital if we don't stop this trend right now.

AG Letitia James sues U.S. Department of Justice over funds for survivors of violent crimes The lawsuit seeks to stop the Justice Dept. from requiring states to cooperate with ICE to continue to receive the funding.

In New York, over $212 million in funds are at stake.

I'm fighting back so New Yorkers can access the support they need.

I lived not far from Greeley for many years. The county is pretty red, about 60/40 Rep/Dem. Note sure about the town itself, but the total population is only 110,000.

I browsed Flickr for "Hygrocybe" and could not find anything comparable. (and many of those shots included some pretty sophisticated backlighting)
