A little perspective.
I have never seen a baby horse this small, including this one. It was standing just distant enough from from the adult to make it look tiny. Obviously, I liked the effect, or I wouldn't have shared it.
BTW. If you were expecting an owl, there is probably a burrowing owl somewhere back there in the distance. It would be really tiny though.
Thanks for stopping by.

The sky erupts in shades of pink, coral, and deep blue as dawn breaks over San Francisco, captured from the iconic Twin Peaks viewpoint. This elevated perspective—nearly 1,000 feet above sea level—offers one of the city's most breathtaking panoramas, showing the urban grid stretching toward the bay while the sky performs its daily color spectacular.
The timing is perfect. That brief window when artificial lights still glow across the cityscape while natural light begins painting the eastern sky creates a magical duality. Street lamps trace the city's arterial roads through residential neighborhoods, their orange sodium vapor lights creating warm pools against the cool predawn darkness. Larger commercial districts shine brighter—likely the Bayview industrial corridor and Candlestick Point area catching early morning activity. Across the bay, the East Bay cities of Oakland, Berkeley, and beyond create a continuous necklace of lights along the far shore.
The sky itself demands attention. Wispy clouds catch and scatter the sunrise in layers of pink and salmon, creating horizontal bands of color that gradiate from deep navy blue overhead through purple and rose toward that brilliant peachy-orange glow near the horizon. It's the kind of sunrise that stops people mid-commute, that gets shared across social media, that reminds San Franciscans why they tolerate the city's challenges. The atmospheric conditions—likely some marine layer influence creating those striated clouds—turn an ordinary sunrise into something spectacular.
Looking at the urban fabric below, you can read San Francisco's residential character. The dense grid of houses and low-rise buildings filling the foreground represents neighborhoods like Noe Valley, Glen Park, or Bernal Heights—communities of single-family homes, small apartment buildings, and tree-lined streets that give San Francisco its human scale despite being a major city. The brighter commercial zones punctuate the residential sea, marking neighborhood business districts and larger employers that anchor local economies.
The bay itself provides the ultimate backdrop. That dark band of water stretching across the middle distance separates San Francisco from the East Bay, its surface barely distinguishable from land at this twilight hour. The Bay Bridge would be visible from this vantage during full daylight, connecting the city to Oakland and beyond. During World War II, this bay teemed with military vessels. During the Gold Rush, it was choked with abandoned ships as crews deserted to seek fortune in the Sierra foothills. Now it's a commuter corridor, environmental restoration zone, and recreational playground—always central to Bay Area identity.
Twin Peaks itself holds special significance in San Francisco's geography and culture. These two hills—remnants of the ancient Franciscan Formation that forms much of the city's bedrock—were called "Los Pechos de la Chola" (Breasts of the Indian Maiden) by early Spanish settlers. The Ohlone people who inhabited these lands for thousands of years before European contact knew them by different names lost to history. Now they're preserved parkland offering 360-degree views that help residents and visitors understand San Francisco's unique topography—a city built on dozens of hills jutting up from a peninsula barely seven miles square.
The residential development pattern visible here tells stories about San Francisco's growth. Those tightly packed homes spreading across every available hillside represent waves of expansion—post-earthquake reconstruction, post-war suburban development, and continuous infill that's made San Francisco one of America's densest cities. The preservation of Twin Peaks as open space rather than building site represents hard-won victories by conservation advocates who understood that cities need breathing room, viewpoints, and preserved natural areas as much as they need housing and commerce.
This view also reveals what you can't see from street level—the sheer scale of the city's lighting infrastructure, the energy consumption represented by thousands of glowing windows and street lights, the environmental footprint of urban density. Yet density has advantages. These compact neighborhoods support public transit, walkable amenities, and lower per-capita resource use than sprawling suburbs. San Francisco's environmental contradictions—progressive values meeting high consumption reality—play out in scenes like this.
I came across this cross street on my way back across town. I really enjoyed how the lines just keep leading you deeper into the picture
gratitude day 3. We went to Columbus to see the exhibit "shifting perspectives" It was a wonderful experience :)
Happy Thursday xo
"Dear New York,
You are in your subways, where your earbuds whisper softly to each other. Where you are rocked to sleep, gently as the trains move, and you are part of some great everyone. So you are a city that walks on top of another city, a city of people dreaming, you put your foot down on dreams when you cross the street, your children play, on dreams. You go to work each day, on layers of moving dreams. You are pieces of life from subway to skyscraper. And I wish you could hear the way your voices sing like I hear them, but you can't anymore than I can hear what my voice sounds like. None of us have accents inside our heads. Our voices and words are water and tasteless and colourless because of how much of them we drink.
Only other people can hear what we sound like. Tonight, thank you for being those other people New York. "

Just an idea that's been running through my mind. Midterms are approaching and I'm dying already trying to keep up with reports and presentations and god knows what else in life. AGH.

Every time I fly, my perspective on things always changes. Because looking out that window, all I think about is how fucking small we are, we aren't shit. And I just think it's funny because we think we are the best, the biggest, unstoppable. When in the end, it's the complete opposite. I mean, just look at what happened to the dinosaurs.

Critique welcome.
Taken in the morning as the sun was coming over the dunes. At first I was disappointed with the two guys in the scene. Then they moved to be right in the bright line and it also gave a perspective of the size.

When your temporary house is this small against your natural surroundings, you develop a certain sense of perspective. The little green tent, to the left of centre, is dwarfed by its backdrop. After a wild night, the beautifully tranquil morning with barely a breath of wind was a revelation. And the feeling of remoteness as I wandered round with my camera was immense. The best attribute of the Cairngorms.
