A tranquil winter morning unfolds across a frosty field, where a delicate layer of frost sparkles on the grass and fallen leaves. The frost transforms the landscape into a shimmering wonderland, each blade of grass and leaf intricately outlined with tiny ice crystals. The foreground is dominated by a large, frost-covered leaf, its edges and veins accentuated by the glistening ice, creating a beautiful natural pattern.

Just finished "Kirby's Lessons for Falling (In Love)" by Laura Gao. I'd previously read her autobiographical graphic novel "Messy Roots" which was excellent, and this book continues that trend. Yet another complicated look at a Chinese-American immigrant experience, wrapped into a queer romance with a dose of spirituality in there as well. I think the background metaphor of falling is really strong, and gets used in so many senses it's beautiful.

Jackery is making solar power actually beautiful. At CES, they unveiled solar roof tiles, a home battery system, and even a Solar Gazebo with 2 kW of panels that generates 10 kWh daily.
The gazebo runs $12-15K and pairs with battery storage for backup power. It's not utility-scale, but it's the kind of creative design that could make clean energy irresistible to everyday consumers.

(Made the most of the last warm weather yesterday afternoon to hike/climb along this beautiful long ridge with many cliffs, roped sections, some cute chamois and hardly any people — temporarily felt like late August, yet in two days supposedly snow starting...)
#SilentSunday

A narrow path along a very narrow ridge of light gray rocks, steep slopes dropping off on either side. The south-facing right side is mostly forested, illuminated by the warm afternoon sun. Blue sky with some streaky clouds.
Steep slopes with yellow brown dried grasses leading down into the valley between some cliffs of light gray rocks and forest. Everything bathed in warm golden light. The valley floor is visible with dense forest, a section of the Linder river and tall mountains rising up on the other side of the valley. Hazy sky.
The silhouette of a standalone rock needle and some nearby trees along the ridge. The sun and some mountains are partially visible from behind the rock. Beautiful red/brown grasses.

🏛 #Venus statuette from

Bronze Venus statuette with gold jewellery from Pompeii. The goddess is touching the golden anklet on her left foot, maybe about to put it on or take it off. She also wears golden arm rings on both arms. Her lips have been painted red or given a layer of copper. She wears her hair in a top bow updo. Below her anklets, there are finely crafted sandals on her feet.

It's been quite a day today. Quite ... challenging. But with a good end.
The mood of this photo is now exactly what I needed: a calm, chill hike in low hanging clouds. Just a few people - no stress, no expectations, no talking, no phone ...
#landscape #photo

A serene winter morning unfolds in this tranquil countryside scene, where a light frost delicately coats the landscape. Tall, leafless trees stand in a row along the edge of a gentle hill, their branches dusted with a thin layer of frost, creating a beautiful contrast against the pale winter sky. The trees, with their intricate network of branches, add a sense of depth and texture to the scene.

The hill slopes gently downward, covered in a patchwork of frost-kissed grass and earthy tones, hint…

Beautiful night in the woods. It didn't rain at all and we woke up to an awesome sunrise instead of the pouring rain we usually get. I'm not used to packing up my shelter and having it be dry.
Should be a good day of training.

Wispy pink morning clouds above a tree line in an evergreen forest, seen just before sunrise
Two parallel rows of 3-phase transmission towers, one of single poles and one of large steel trusses, disappearing into the distance from a viewpoint on a gravel road roughly in line with the left row.

The immediate surroundings are low grassy meadow with taller evergreens off to either side.

Billionaires are spending massive sums on politics. A backlash brews.
Christina Persson,
a 55-year-old English teacher in a small town of just over 2,600 people,
is fed up with billionaires.

In May, during the debate over Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,”
she spearheaded a move to erect a billboard reading,
“Tax breaks for billionaires. CUTS for everyone else.”

Two months later, she set up shop at the county fair and sold

When I was walking down from the mountains recently I noticed the frost on the trees and branches -- and some single leafs that were still around.
I really liked this extra touch of color in the grey surrounding. And that it's just a little detail on the huge mountain.
#photography #winter

This image captures a delicate and serene winter scene in a forest. The branches of the trees are coated with a thin layer of frost, creating a beautiful, crystalline effect. The frost highlights the intricate patterns of the branches, giving them a magical, almost fairy-tale-like appearance.

A few brown leaves still cling to the branches, adding a touch of autumnal color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the frosted branches in the foreground …

The Land of Via Claudia Augusta
(Pre-sunset light on New Year's eve, overlooking a small part of the northern Alps, a view which I imagine was already enjoyed by the Romans who had built a settlement on this hill in 13AD...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

Wide-format photo of a beautiful snowy winter landscape of the foothills and peaks of the northern Alps near Füssen. The freezing temperatures and the setting sun is making the hazy sky glow orange/pink with cold blueish light in the lower region in the foreground. Partially snow-covered forest and fields with small wooden huts.

Do you remember when I once feared that having my photos as background in video conferences might be unprofessional?
Just yesterday I went into a workshop with strangers and a pretty well known investor - and guess what the first topic was in the call? The beautiful background and that I took it in sub -10°C.
I think it was profess enough
