I need to process the photos from my camera but here’s a quick one from my phone just to give you an idea… it was like being in another world! (A very, very humid world.)

New long term photography project: Timefade — prints and animations documenting alpine places and their changes over decades or a century.
First place completed: Breslauer Hütte and the glaciers of the Gurgler Range. Two images from the same location, separated by 103 years: 1923 and 2026.
The hut was built in 1882 and has undergone several restorations and extensions. The major peaks from left to right: Großer Ramolkogel, Hinterer Spiegelkogel, Firmisanschneide, Schalfkogel, all between 3400-3550m
The shrinkage of the glaciers in this view might seem rather small for a time span of a century, but it's worth remembering that most of the volume losses have only been during the past 25-50 years and the melting process itself is exponential and accelerating... Secondly, for a size/scale reference: On the rightmost glacier (Diem-Ferner), the elevation difference between the top edge of the side moraine and the glacier creek is now >100 meters (more than a 30 storey building)...
It might only be two photos (some more are already in progress), but production involved several weeks of library research (see below) of suitable locations and images, feasibility studies on old & current maps trying to determine photo spots, lenses and viewing angles from where the original pictures were taken, travel and hiking logistics, then taking dozens of photos from different candidate points in situ. Back home after the shoot: Testing different candidate images for best match/alignment potential, tweaking and fine tuning their perspectives, video editing...

Our changing climate in 2025
From droughts and record heat to wildfires and deadly rains, the extremes of a changing climate and its effect on humans, animals and the landscape in 2025.

Roll 19707212: UC Riverside (1968 or 1969)
Tracy Farrington, a one-time roommate who sold me his 1952 Chevy for $6 when he left town, was determined on a career in the movie business. On this roll are photos of his production of a 16mm movie set in the UCR library, with librarians playing the parts.

Endless Black Beach
The visibility was very good on that late October day. We'd parked at the top of Dyrhólæy and walked to the lighthouse while the wind was quiet, a rarity that week.
About 30 km/18.5 mi away was Steinafjall on the southern flank of Eyjafjallajökull. Leading up to it from our viewpoint were several black beaches in a line.
A sharp eye could even spot what was left of the Sólheimasandur DC-3 plane wreck, a white dot in the distance.

Snow by Orhan Pamuk
This book was originally written in Turkish in 2002 and translated into English in 2004. The book is remarkably prescient in its presentation of the conflict between traditional fundamentalist Islam and the Western secular world.

— Boba, the Rent-Free Resident —
I live here for free
I don’t contribute to utilities
A true free loader
I don’t feel guilty either!
I look majestic
But I’m opportunistic
I’ll steal snacks
If I can get into the bag!

Color harmonizing between the house and front yard. . I see more and more houses breaking out of the suburban color schemes. I really like it.

Independence Day 2026, 250 years.
“…It is their right, it is their duty to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their security.”
Let us not celebrate where we are, but where We the People can lead this house divided, yet a house nonetheless.
Be everwell.

Likely the 250th least happy birthday of America. Still, have a good holiday where it's celebrated.

A keel-billed toucan lands on a tree near Boca Tapada in central Costa Rica. Although its huge bill looks heavy, it is in fact surprisingly lightweight due to its hollow bone structure.
