One of the great drives in N America: the 50+ mile, over-the-Continental Divide Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park, MT. Haystack Creek and a Red Bus (tourists). Nothing like a Northern Rockies road trip.

One of the most photographed lighthouses in ME: Pemaquid Point, Bristol, ME (Central Coast)

Dissolved and crystallized potash ponds, near Dead Horse Point State Park, near Moab, UT. Minerals and algae contribute to the colors of what’s, to me, an environmental mess. Went to DHPSP in September. Glad I missed this. Colorado River is visible.

Washington State has the best companies in the United States. Its economy was recently ranked #1 among all States. Costco is a Washington State company.👍

King cobra v Mongoose Who wins? Mongoose, 80% of the time. The cobra’s venom doesn’t affect the mongoose. The only predator that the king cobra truly fears. See comment for other creatures that eat king cobras for lunch, including other king cobras.

The Golden Crown, a hoodoo in the Valley of Dreams, Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness, NW of Albuquerque. Bring your hiking app and good trailhead-finding skills. GPS won’t do it (depending on your destination in BDNZ). Some of the most desolate badlands in the USA.

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!🤣🤣🤣😭🤣😭💀

This is it in a nut shell 🦋

so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this

How is that a publication like Rolling Stone gets it right when so many other news orgs are failing at real journalism & keeping it real—and so damn obvious about it?

fishing shack, low tide, Cape Porpoise, Kennebunkport, ME Have a color version of a variant of this photo on my wall.

Talk about “small dick energy.”

Tunnel View aka 4300 foot Wawona Tunnel (longest tunnel in CA), Yosemite National Park

Iceland 🇮🇸

Penguin Rock aka Spire Rock, Joshua Tree National Park, CA. A juniper tree frames it. JTNP was crowded yesterday (Christmas).

The coldest inhabited place on earth: Oymyakon, Eastern Siberia. Lowest recorded temperature was 98 degrees below zero F. FeatheredFriends.com in #Seattle, maker of the best and warmest down coats in the world, has a Rock and Ice parka, “ideal for evening strolls in Oymyakon” per their website.

Considered the premier hike in Zion National Park: The Narrows. Permit required, walls up to 1300 feet, narrowest section of Zion Canyon. Virgin River.

Milky Way, Santa Cruz, CA

John, Yoko and Harlem Children’s Choir Definitely a classic Christmas tune youtu.be/flA5ndOyZbI

The majesty and jubilance of this song blows me away on Christmas Morning. Turn your device sideways and max volume. youtu.be/weFJHtcxJt0

Donald Trump will likely cause another Great Depression.

The worst governor in the US. Total MAGA scum.

Emotionally Distant Family Spends Holidays Watching Touching Family Dramas Together theonion.com/emotionally-...

This guy makes me sick. So mentally ill it’s unsettling. It’s not the mental illness I dislike; it’s the rampant, raging narcissism and his numerous other character defects. He’s the worst.

Oh the shade!

This is disgusting. There’s no bottom for Dump’s cravenness. He’s never been in a church in his revolting life.

Christmas Eve Day fact: 500 + foot tall Beachy Head, England (prior post) is the world’s 3d most-used suicide spot, after the Golden Gate Bridge and Aokigahara Forest (aka “Suicide Forest”) on NW Mt Fuji in Japan.

The Danish defense academy guy quoted here is giving Dump way too much credit. He’s a dotard (to quote NK’s Kim) and is burning the few brain cells he has every day. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Merry Christmas ? from Beachy Head and Beachy Head Lighthouse, East Sussex, England. A “rock tower” lighthouse (built offshore).

Fresh catch of the day. This photo is NOT AI or photoshopped. Not sure of the bird type but I’ve seen eagles 🦅 do this. Christmas Meal for a raptor.

Dump, on Christmas Eve Day, is still the stupidest, most evil schmuck the U.S. has ever been saddled with. CNN is getting to be as crappy a news source as Fox.

Santa 🧑‍🎄 and his reindeer passing by Split Rock Lighthouse, NW shoreline of Lake Superior, Two Harbors, MN Don’t forget the milk and cookies 🍪 for Santa when he stops at your place (unless you’ve been naughty 👿 😀👍)!

Merry Christmas ? from 1 of the world’s most desolate & rugged places: Hells Canyon, OR/ID border. Went there in Sept while hiking in the Wallowa Mtns/Eagle Cap Wilderness, near Joseph, OR. Equally impressive is Imnaha River Canyon, Imnaha, OR, which joins w/ HC. ✔️ Hat Point Overlook online.

I have a feeling these memes aren’t going away. 🤣 #PresidentMusk

Former president Bill Clinton has been released from the hospital. Glad he's ok and can spend Christmas with his family.

Merry Christmas from the Indigenous Peoples of the SW: Santa and his reindeer petroglyph, Nine Mile Canyon, NW of Moab, UT. NMC is actually 40 miles long, called “the world’s longest art gallery”.
