Last night's sunset was a fiery one. In the distance, a wind power station on the mainland stood out very clearly against the red backdrop.
My creative version of the lighthouse and the raging sea storm.
Mother nature once again showing her power to create calm or stormy seas.

How do you feel when you look at the ocean?
Staring at the ocean actually changes our brain waves' frequency and puts us into a mild meditative state. Listening to the waves activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which makes us more relaxed. In addition, the negative ions in the sea breeze have a mood-boosting effect.
Calm seas evoke feelings of tranquility and peace, while stormy seas can inspire a sense of awe, excitement, or even fear, depending on individual experiences and perspectives

«Σήμερον κρεμᾶται ἐπὶ ξύλου ὁ ἐν ὕδασι τὴν γῆν κρεμάσας. Στέφανον ἐξ ἀκανθῶν περιτίθεται ὁ τῶν ἀγγέλων Βασιλεύς. Ψευδῆ πορφύραν περιβάλλεται ὁ περιβάλλων τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐν Νεφέλαις. Ῥάπισμα κατεδέξατο ὁ ἐν Ἰορδάνῃ ἐλευθερώσας τὸν Ἀδάμ. Ἥλοις προσηλώθη ὁ Νυμφίος τῆς Ἐκκλησίας. Λόγχῃ ἐκεντήθη ὁ Υἱὸς τῆς Παρθένου. Προσκυνοῦμεν σου τὰ πάθη, Χριστέ. Δεῖξον ἡμῖν καὶ τὴν ἔνδοξόν σου ἀνάστασιν».

Still feeling a bit under with a cold but had to get out of the house. More weather warnings - so headed west - avoiding cliffs and the coast as I'd just want to get out. There was too much hail to use my camera so out with the phone, editing done in Snapseed
Lever du jour sur la vallée de la Maurienne et le massif de la Vanoise depuis la Toussuire (1750m) dans le Massif Arvan-Villards (Savoie).
Just in case anyone is wondering. Yeas, it's a HDR capture and of course, a emphasized the structure to get the deapth.

Crossing South Baffin: morning Light and Departure
The pre-flight morning walk takes place with camera in hand before a two-hour flight to Pangnirtung, once a whaling station, now home to a thriving fishery.
The dawn light grips the city in a firey brilliant display. Deep indigo shadows stretch across the snow-dusted ground, while the sky erupts in burning streaks of gold and bruised purple above the buildings and parked vehicles. The scene is a striking interplay of industrial lines and wild, untamed atmosphere—a familiar architecture that has formed the backdrop of everyday life here for years.
With camera raised, I pause to capture the glow reflecting off the dark cladding of the now shuttered US Air Force barracks and the sweeping curves of the modern air terminal building. Soon, the bags and gear will be loaded, and the twin-engine charter aircraft will lift skyward, turning north, tracing a path across the frozen expanse of South Baffin, across Cumberland Sound toward Pangnirtung.
Journeys in the North always demand a moment to look back before moving forward, letting the sheer brilliance of the morning sink in one last time.
One thing I love about wide open vistas is that the sky seems to go on forever. When clouds are present, the drama to the scene goes up 1000%. These shots were all taken from the road.
I stood there watching the clouds wrap around the peaks like something alive — heavy, slow, inevitable. Back home, I shaped this photo to match how it felt in that moment: dramatic, quiet, and a little unsettling. This is more than a landscape to me — it's the weight of solitude, and the strange peace I find in it.
Vultures are scavengers, meaning they eat dead animals. They rarely attack healthy animals, but may kill the wounded or sick. When a carcass has too thick a hide for its beak to open, it waits for a larger scavenger to eat first.
Vast numbers have been seen upon battlefields. They gorge themselves when prey is abundant, until their crops bulge, and sit, sleepy or half torpid, to digest their food.
These birds do not carry food to their young in their talons but disgorge it from their crops. The mountain-dwelling bearded vulture is the only vertebrate to specialize in eating bones, and does carry bones to the nest for the young, and it hunts some live prey

Un arbre, un champ, un ciel chargé. Rien de bien compliqué, et pourtant je pourrais rester longtemps devant ce paysage.
J’aime cet arbre qui semble avoir traversé bien des saisons sans demander grand-chose à personne. Il est là, simplement. Le vent passe, les nuages changent, les années s’accumulent. Lui reste. Peut-être que les paysages les plus silencieux sont aussi ceux qui ont le plus de choses à nous raconter...
EN A tree, an open field, a sky full of clouds. Nothing particularly complicated, and yet I could spend a long time looking at this landscape. I like this tree. It seems to have lived through so many seasons without asking much of anyone. It is simply there. The wind passes, the clouds change, the years go by. And it remains.
Perhaps the quietest landscapes are also the ones with the most to tell us...
