this 1914 photo of an american gunner atop an elephant in sri lanka exists despite the fact elephants were never sent to battle, only used by militaries to replace vehicles in terrain they couldnt cross

split legs, precarious Colt M1895, elephant prolly done with this bullshit

Aerial view of Libertyville, Illinois, north of Chicago, after a light snow. #SilentSunday

Suburban-ish development on low relief terrain with scattered small lakes. The snow cover gives roofs and grassy areas visual contrast. There's a portion of an airplane wing and low clouds.

I swear, ever since I updated to the 9070XT, LotRO occasionally gets confused that it's running so fast on Ultra settings that it glitches out. I'll be running along and suddenly the terrain objects (bushes, stumps, grass clumps etc) will blink out and then a second later fade back in. I also get an inch wide band of "static" in the horizontal center of the screen that lasts for like a quarter of a second when I turn around. I spose I could try troubleshooting it, mess with…

Good evening! Just a daily mountain photo for you ;-) I took it on my hike last weekend.
At this point I thought that it might have been beneficial if I would also have brought gaiters, then I would have walked a bit more into the snow.
But it was still a great day.
the #video of the hike is here:

This image showcases a stunning winter landscape under a clear blue sky. The sun shines brightly, casting a warm glow over the snow-covered terrain. In the foreground, a blanket of pristine white snow covers the ground, with footprints marking a path through the winter wonderland.

Evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow, frame the scene and add a touch of green to the otherwise monochromatic landscape. The trees lead the eye toward a breathtaking view of a vast valley and a serene lake…

Aeolian dune simulation (made in 2017) for #MeerMittwoch:

The sim itself had 5 macro params to control the behavior of the interactive deposit/erosion/transportation process. It supported tileable patterns, customizable seed terrain (images) and ran r…

Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, has given his government’s blessing to an oil pipeline last week
that would cross Alberta and British Columbia and terminate at the Pacific.
But amid fierce debate over the political, environmental and economic implications of the project,
experts warn that the multibillion-dollar project faces immense – and poorly understood – geological hazards.

‘There’s no monitoring of earthquakes’: new British Columbia pipeline could spell catastrophe, experts warn

Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from the British science fiction television series "Blake's 7," which aired from 1978 to 1981. The scene shows three characters in what appears to be an outdoor, rocky terrain setting with hills or mountains visible in the background. The lighting and film quality suggest this is from the late 1970s/early 1980s television production era.

The characters are wearing practical, somewhat utilitarian clothing typical of the show's ae…

Once upon a time there were three brothers who were knights
in a certain kingdom. And, there was a Princess in a neighboring kingdom
who was of marriageable age. Well, one day, in full armour, their horses,
and their page, the three brothers set off to see if one of them could
win her hand. The road was long and there were many obstacles along the
way, robbers to be overcome, hard terrain to cross. As they coped with
each obstacle they became more and more d…

'Pfade und Wege' / 'paths and ways' (? Or trails 🤔) #FotoVorschlag
Yes, that's a topic for me again 😉
This is from a trail that I did a couple of times already in different seasons. And this sections just offers such a cool view to the south.
The trail itself varies quite a bit in all terms - which I totally like. Well - enjoy!

A scenic hiking trail winds its way through a rugged, mountainous landscape, inviting adventurers to explore its natural beauty. The trail, composed of gravel and dirt, cuts a clear path through the terrain, bordered by dry grass and patches of green shrubs. The ground is uneven, with scattered rocks and roots adding texture and a sense of adventure to the journey.

On either side of the trail, the landscape is dotted with a mix of evergreen trees and leafless shrubs, their branches reaching ou…

I usually post in the evening today's post inthe morning for the 'Fotovorschlag' somehow broke my routine.
Anyways, I wanted to share this photo from my hike on sunday. It was my first winter-hike this season! Saturday was a great cloud inversion - which I missed - sunday greeted me (and QUITE some more hikers) with a plain blue sky.
I hope I can get out again on the weekend to test warmer socks.
Well - enjoy!

A stunning winter landscape unfolds under a clear, vibrant blue sky, capturing the pristine beauty of a snow-covered mountain slope. The untouched snow blankets the terrain, its smooth, white surface glistening in the bright sunlight. Footprints lead up the slope, creating a sense of adventure and exploration as they wind their way toward the summit.

At the top of the slope, a small, rustic cabin nestles comfortably among the snow-laden trees, its presence adding a touch of warmth and coziness…

A breathtaking winter landscape unfolds under a clear, bright sky, where the sun casts a brilliant light over snow-covered mountains and rocky terrain. The scene captures a moment of fresh snowfall, with flurries gently drifting through the air, adding a sense of movement and tranquility. The snow blankets the jagged rocks and uneven ground, creating a striking contrast between the white snow and the darker, rugged surfaces beneath.

In the background, a dense forest of evergreen trees stretche…

Almost forgot #MountainMonday . But I wanted to share this one with you from quite a while ago.
I didn't go to this summit as the way would have been ways too dangerous. But still I loved the view!

This image captures a breathtaking winter scene of a snow-covered mountain slope. The mountain is blanketed in a thick layer of pristine white snow, with patches of rocky terrain peeking through in some areas. Scattered evergreen trees dot the landscape, their dark green foliage providing a striking contrast against the white snow.

The sky above is clear and pale, suggesting a calm, cold day. The sunlight casts soft shadows on the snow, highlighting the texture and contours of the mountain. Th…
