Some local gas prices.

Last week these were under 3 dollars a gallon.

A study found that 1/3 of Gen Z men thought women should obey their husband.

3/3 of Gen Z women said, “fuck off”.

A green swathe of northern lights across the top half of the photo, with some moonlit clouds below. There is a pointy mountain visible and some of the green is reflected in windblown water below.

Finally got to see northern lights in the early hours of this morning. I always wake up in the night, & occasionally check out the window. There was some green light (visible with the phone) so I got dressed & went out! A bit cloudy (& very windy), & the cloud grew, but nice to see them :)

Patagonia truly is wilderness untamed. It is not just the awe inspiring mountains, but also the stormy, dramatic and rapidly changing weather which make it so very special!⁠

Although the wind was screaming in my ears it was a scene of serenity & breathtaking majesty as the Cuernos del Paine lit up in magnificent light. Light I had not witnessed in 5 years of exploring Patagonia.

The ever changing light is what makes Patagonia so very special. In Torres del Paine, a spot lit iceberg is dwarfed by mountains in the shade, except the jagged summit, bathed in the warm afternoon sun.

Fierce winds drive off snow and ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. There is a whole world of drama and grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, and especially so for Patagonia!

In 2 days I'm leaving for wild, amazing Patagonia to run my annual photography tours, timed for peak fall colors. Please visit my website at beautysurroundsyou.com/patagonia-ph... to find out more about our 2027 tours! I can't wait!

Please, stop signing bills.

After 10 days they become law by default.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

This week’s display of northern lights during the total lunar eclipse was spectacular herein Fairbanks, Alaska!

A portrait of a red horse with blonde mane standing in the sun, looking straight at me. His mane is slightly off to one side in the wind. There is some frosty water droplets in his beard hairs.

Of course there were horses :)

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

You new nominee to be DHS Secretary.

Historic photo of marchers.

Today is the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when Alabama state troopers violently attacked peaceful protesters marching from Selma to Montgomery for the right to vote. The protesters' courage in the face of danger continues to inspire me and countless others.

Is a 14% rise in gas prices in less than a week what we call “Winning”?

Waking up before dawn to catch a sunrise in Monument Valley is an unforgettable experience. Standing alone in silence as the sky paints itself with pink and orange is breathtaking—a true natural wonder.

Finally finished my timelapse of the lunar eclipse under the aurora in Fairbanks, Alaska! Check out the massive substorm turning the ground green in front of the eclipse, too!

This is one of my favorite timelapses I have captured!

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

It really sounds like he just recently watched The Avengers

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

One of the first targets I captured with the Cat91 telescope, decided to revisit it and get some broadband data to mix in with the HOO data I already had from last year.

My time-lapse of Tuesday mornings' lunar eclipse shows the subtle changes in the light refracted by Earth's atmosphere. 14 frames over 65 min cover totality. All frames processed identically and assembled into a video with cross dissolve transitions to smooth it. Details in ALT. #astrophotography

No words to describe the experience of seeing an overhead corona aurora at THE SAME TIME as a total lunar eclipse--this happened last night on our aurora workshop. Crazy experience. The aurora was so bright and the snow glowed green under the blood moon.

Now that the eclipse is over, the skies have cleared and the moon makes an appearance. Go figure.

Two shots. One straight, and one for @bryanminear.com
