#NPS106 - Happy Founders Day! The Organic Act became law #onthisday in 1916 formally creating the National Park Service.
What to say about our favorite government agency on this, its 106th anniversary? The only thing to say, I suppose; that the National Park Service is perhaps our most noble endeavor. What we choose to save on our planet reveals what kind of species we are. Shall we save our tallest mountains? Our deepest canyons? Our oldest trees? Our waters and our skies and our lands and our history? Even our mistakes? Even the most ugly instances of where our culture has stumbled so that we may learn from them and improve? Yes. All that and more. In these uncertain times, when many are actively questioning the purpose and functionality of the National Park Service, may we always remember that what we choose to save about the land and our past is what we choose to save about ourselves. The National Parks are our best idea because they are OUR democratic spaces and they reflect OUR inclusivity and diversity.
May the NPS have its best days before it.
Happy 106th anniversary!

Lovely evening light just before sunset presented the opportunity to grab a shot as he lifted his hed above the grassland.

Taken near the start of our hike up Glas Bheinn. You can see the Staoineag Bothy in the far distance.
A clear night in Scotland (a rare thing) allowed for some spectacular views of the stars. A drive Dalwinnie near the Cairngorms did not disappoint. This lone tree was a perfect choice as a subject for this photo. Thanks for visiting.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
I was blessed with some incredible Scottish winter sun at the weekend. This allowed for some nice backlight and bokeh. Thanks for view and I hope everyone is well.
When I took the metro back home, I tried this handsandwichedbetweentwocrossedlegs posture. I couldn't understand it.
A hike up Buachaille Etive Beag on route to the Stob Dubh summit. Starting at 5am the sound of constant stags rutting was unsettling in colllete darkness. As we made our way through the mist and cloud we took a break at sunrise to be treated with the most spectacular views.
Happy anniversary to one of my favorite places in the world. John Muir’s “Range of Light”, Yosemite, was set aside by the federal government, #onthisdayinhistory , 135 years ago. This action predates the founding of the National Park Service and even Yellowstone’s incorporation as the first National Park. Yosemite came before all of that, set aside under the care of California, for all to enjoy. For me, Yosemite is the place of quiet contemplation and spiritual grandeur that really threw my love of the National Parks into overdrive. It is the best example of what ‘America’s best idea’ is and an inspiration to the world. And today, in 2025, The National Park Service is woefully underfunded, understaffed, abused, and at the whims of a hostile government that is shut down. The park, however, isn’t. Yosemite will remain open, a blessing for those who visit respectfully, but at the whims of those who will abuse and misuse their public lands. Once these places are ruined, they are gone. Once they are misused, they are damaged. We must continue to honor them. We must continue to fight for them. Anything less is capitulation to a government that expects your compliance to a system that is designed to favor the few over the many and totally discount the true meaning of what Yosemite stands for and represents. Speak up. Be a light for the Range of Light.

🇬🇧 A group sitting in front of a closed row of shops.
No one talks, yet everything is being said — through postures, silences, shadows, and the absence of movement.
Down the sidewalk, a woman walks alone, away or back, no one knows.
Another day that leaves no trace, yet contains everything.

🇫🇷 Un groupe assis devant une rangée de boutiques fermées.
Personne ne parle, mais tout se dit — dans les postures, les silences, les ombres, et l’absence de mouvement.
Un peu plus loin, une femme passe, seule, vers l’avant ou vers l’arrière, nul ne sait.
Un jour de plus, sans marque visible, mais chargé de présence.

🇬🇧 In this Tuscan alley, silence walks ahead of the sun.
The slow step of an anonymous figure slips between warm walls and flowered names. “Il Girasole” — the sunflower — offers a subtle nod to light, just a word at eye level.
A simple, nearly forgotten scene, yet precious — like a sunbeam in shadow.

🇫🇷 Dans cette ruelle toscane, le silence précède le soleil.
Le pas lent d’une silhouette anonyme glisse entre les murs chauds et les noms fleuris. Il Girasole, discret clin d’œil à la lumière, n’est plus qu’un mot à hauteur de regard.
Une scène simple, presque oubliée, mais précieuse — comme un rayon dans l’ombre.
