Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Amanda Gorman pays tribute to Alex Pretti, a patriotic American murdered by fascist ICE on January 24th 2026

“Yet our greatest threat isn't the outsiders among us, but those among us who never look within.”

“Fear not the those without papers, but those without conscience.”

Love how the reflections line up and have similar distortion patterns.

Winterline in Mussoorie, India

The Winterline - a rare atmospheric phenomenon where a false horizon appears during sunset, creating a breathtaking display of deep orange, red, and purple hues. This occurs due to the refraction and trapping of dust and moisture in the lower atmosphere, giving the illusion of a second horizon.

For something different. Alaska mushrooms! When I moved to AK over 15 years ago one of the first things I became fascinated with were the mushroom. I'm not an expert at naming them (I'm learning), but I have expert skills in laying on my belly to photograph them. Pro tip, wear rain gear.

Star trails arc over the Chugach Mountains, with a faint green aurora band glowing above the mountains. A single light trail from a hiker's headlamp winds its way up the mountainside.

Star trails, a subtle aurora, and a hiker's headlight trail heading up the mountain. This is about 40 minutes of time from New Year's Eve.
