“…with sufficient general agreement and determination among the dominant classes, the truth of history may be utterly distorted and contradicted and changed to any convenient fairy tale that the masters of men wish.”

“The propaganda of history,“ in Du Bois, W. E. B. Black Reconstruction in America, 1860–1880. New York: Harcourt, Brace & Co, 1935.

奄美大島最北端、笠利崎に大変久々に行ってみました。観光客が訪れていました。
ドローンユーザーでもあまり狙ってなかったのではないかと思われる、先端の先端、岩礁に近づいてみました。
また、笠利崎から約3.6km北東にある岩礁を狙ってみました。

It's been a long time since I last visited Cape Kasarizaki, the northernmost tip of Amami Island. There were a lot of tourists there.
I got close to the very tip of the island, the reef, which I don't think even drone users often target.
I also tried shot to target the reef about 3.6km northeast of Cape Kasarizaki.

An abandoned roadside in Japan, with kitsch retro 1970s style. Abandoned for decades, rotting away atop a cliff overlooking the ocean.

A blustery day in the High Sierra. That's the town of Big Pine in the middle ground.

#Travel #RoadTrip #Mountains #BlackandWhite #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of a tall rugged mountain range with numerous snow squalls covering some of the peaks and filling the valleys. In the middle ground is a small area of trees which mark the location of a small town. In the foreground is a vast plain of sagebrush. On the left side of the frame a road can be seen snaking down toward the distant town. The sky is mostly cloudy.

On leaving
you playfully punched
my left
shoulder.

The sensation
remains

But your
voice fades

The sensation
remains
But your
image fades

I
short of breath
tremble

I think
you’ve
cracked
a
rib.

Wilson River Trail: Part 1

I had an amazing weekend, I’m so happy spring is finally here. It’s so freeing to carry everything you need on your back and be completely surrounded by nature. I feel so much safer alone in the middle of the forest than camping along forest roads. I’m considering this spring training while the Cascades are still covered in snow. This trail is ideal for that.

#Backpacking #PNW #Oregon #Photography #Hiking #Walking #Nature #Outdoors #LandscapePhotography

Light and dark green trees cover hills and mountains in the Tillamook State Forest. Light blue clear sky.

Wilson River Trail rounds a corner over a small creek crossing. Green ferns and light green moss covered rocks along the sides of the trail.

A light fog blankets the forest along the North Fork Wilson River near the Diamond Hill OHRV park. Thin trees line the banks of the river.

White and yellow backpacking tent is pitched along an abandoned forest road and trail. A peaceful location about a half mile off of the Wilson River Trail that gets few visitors. Tall trees and green ferns fill the forest.

I realized today that there's been a dark and moody theme running through my photography since the start of the pandemic. It isn't all my work, but it has been a constant addition and is different than what I did before.

A lush canopy of vibrant green deciduous trees frames a central path through a dense, misty forest where profound silence prevails. The leaves overhead form a natural archway, filtering light and fading into a soft, glowing mist in the background. A simple dirt track, grassy in the centre, leads directly into the thick white mist, creating a strong sense of depth. Deep shadows at the bases of the trees in the foreground contrast with the ethereal brightness of the fog ahead.

Found this rusty, old Chevrolet truck while visiting a lavender farm at Sequim, Washington, nestled among tall grass and wildflowers under a lush apple tree. The vehicle's weathered exterior contrasted with the vibrant colors of the surrounding nature at "Lavender Connection".

A mesmerizing view waited for us at Rialto Beach with the Milky Way galaxy stretching across the night sky above James Island, La Push, Washington and over the calm Pacific Ocean.

A breathtaking view waited for us at Rialto Beach with the Milky Way galaxy stretching across the night sky above James Island, La Push, Washington and the calm Pacific Ocean. The distant rocky formations of James Island on the horizon added depth and intrigue to the scene, while reflective waters enhanced the celestial spectacle, making it a captivating sight on August 21st, 2025.

James Island (called A-ka-lat in the Quileute language, meaning "Top of the Rock") is a small island located right at the mouth of the Quillayute River.
In 1966, the United States Department of the Interior gave the island back to the Quileute people. It was recognized as part of their historic Quileute Indian Reservation and no people outside of the Quileute tribe are allowed on the island.

A few seabirds float on the water's surface, seemingly undisturbed by the whale's presence. Taken at Camano Island, Washington state

Our #clematis vines are really taking off and starting to bloom. I planted them last year but they were very much underachievers, maybe because of our long hot summer, and after our one hard freeze this winter I thought they might be dead, but definitely not. This variety is called John Paul II 🤷‍♂️.

The image shows the shadows of a person and a horse cast on a ground covered with wood chips. The shadow of the person is on the left, depicting a human figure standing upright with arms raised, holding a camera. The shadow of the horse is on the right, featuring a distinct horse head with ears, a long neck, and a body, suggesting the horse is standing close to the person. The ground texture is uneven, with scattered wood chips, and the lighting indicates the sun is low, creating long, clear shadows.
