Aurora Borealis

Solar flares fling charged particles into space. They reach Earth and react chemically with the upper atmosphere. The Earth's magnetic field acts on the solar winds, drawing them towards the poles.

Wild to see in Lander, Wyoming.

Alhamdulillah

A joyful win.

The Louvre Heist

 

This was entirely delightful (harming no one)...

(the style)

(the supposed detective)

(the dropped crown)

...until people started getting arrested (and, even then, fake news gave us this).

Whale Fall

 

can you feel it?

the density

the light rain

a single leviathan

becoming multitudes

nutrients dispersing

from a titanic feast

the death of a colossus

yielding such life

Civil Disobedience

 

This.

And glitter bombing ICE agents?

Brilliant.

Valle Cochamó

 

I was young when I was first introduced to Valle Cochamó in Chile. The adults around me at the time felt it was inevitable that the area would eventually succumb to development.

More than thirty years later, it looks like conservation efforts may ultimately succeed. I think there are roughly two months left to raise the funds needed to purchase this land and protect it?

An incredible combination of luck and effort over decades made this precious moment of hope and possibility a reality.

 Cochamó por siempre
