Resurrecting another *NEW* portfolio: This is the Isle of Arran, Scotland 👉 https://www.iancylkowski.com/scottish-islands/isle-of-arran

We spent a week here way back in 2017, and a week is not enough. I yearn to be here again, with its imposing mountains, ancient history, gorgeous coast and so much.

A serene and ancient stone circle at Machrie Moor on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. Three tall standing stones dominate the foreground, their surfaces weathered and covered with patches of lichen and moss, indicating their age and exposure to the elements. The largest stone stands prominently on the right, its rugged texture and earthy tones contrasting with the surrounding landscape. The other two stones are slightly smaller and positioned further back, creating a sense of depth and alignment. The ground is a mix of grass and dry, golden-brown vegetation, suggesting an autumnal setting. In the background, rolling hills stretch across the horizon under a partly cloudy sky, with a faint rainbow arching gracefully above the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and historical significance, evoking a sense of connection to the past amidst the natural beauty of the Scottish countryside.
A picturesque scene of a cascading stream in North Glen Sannox on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. The water flows gently over rocks and small waterfalls, creating a smooth, silky texture that highlights its movement. Surrounding the stream are patches of grass and heather, displaying autumnal hues of yellow, orange, and green, adding warmth to the landscape. Large boulders are scattered along the banks, contributing to the rugged beauty of the area. In the background, imposing rocky hills rise up, their dark, jagged silhouettes contrasting with the softer tones of the foreground. The sky above is partly cloudy, with grey clouds hinting at an impending change in weather, while a sliver of light breaks through, casting a gentle glow over the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of serene wilderness, showcasing the raw natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands.
The majestic Glenashdale Falls on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. A powerful waterfall cascades down a steep rocky cliff, its water appearing smooth and silky due to the long exposure used in capturing the scene. The falls are surrounded by lush, dense vegetation, with trees and foliage displaying vibrant autumnal colours, including greens, yellows, oranges, and hints of red. The mist rising from the falling water adds a mystical quality to the atmosphere, enhancing the sense of movement and energy. The surrounding landscape is rich with ferns and moss-covered rocks, creating a verdant backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the white, frothy water of the falls. The overall scene exudes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, highlighting the raw power and serenity of this stunning Scottish landmark.
A serene and picturesque scene at Glen Rosa on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. A small, flowing stream meanders through a rugged landscape, its water cascading gently over rocks to create miniature waterfalls. The foreground features a shallow pool with clear, reflective water that mirrors the surrounding environment, including the rocky terrain and patches of vibrant vegetation. Large boulders are scattered along the banks, adding texture and depth to the scene. The background reveals rolling hills and distant mountains, their peaks shrouded in soft mist under a partly cloudy sky. The landscape is adorned with autumnal hues, with grasses and shrubs displaying warm tones of yellow, orange, and brown, contrasting beautifully with the greenery and the cool blue-grey of the rocks. The overall atmosphere is one of peaceful wilderness, showcasing the natural beauty and tranquility of this Scottish glen.

#FotoVorschlag: Innenhöfe // (Inner) courtyards

OMG, genau mein Ding! Mit einem schönen #Innenhof wie diesem in #Salamanca kann man mich sehr glücklich machen // OMG that's just my thing! Give me a beautiful #courtyard like this one in Salamanca any day

A slightly low-angle shot captures the interior courtyard of a historic building. The courtyard is defined by ornate, light-coloured stone archways and columns that frame the open space. The ground is paved with uneven, grey cobblestones, appearing slightly damp. In the centre of the courtyard is a weathered stone well with a metal mechanism. Several potted green plants are placed around the well. The building has multiple levels, with balconies featuring decorative railings overlooking the courtyard. The walls are constructed from similar light-coloured stone, and some windows and doorways are visible on the various levels. The architecture suggests a Renaissance or similar historical style, with intricate carvings and details in the stonework. Natural light illuminates the courtyard from above.

"2020

I may not have found the answer to the Secret I was looking for in Kemet, but I shared something with the thousand-year-old lords of the Nile. Then, I remembered this passage from a story that some Bards once told:

[...] Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a god
Why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies
All around is laid waste
And in my last hour
I'm a Slave to the Power of Death [...]

(Iron Maiden, 1984, Powerslave)"

[Excerpt from the Sukha' SacredBrew Logbook]

The image depicts a historic stone alleyway with an arched doorway featuring ornate wooden doors. The entrance appears to be part of a religious or significant building, as indicated by the symbols and writing above the door. The surrounding stone walls and cobblestone ground suggest an ancient, possibly Mediterranean or Middle Eastern architectural style, often seen in older towns or historical districts. The lighting indicates a bright day, enhancing the texture of the stone.

View from our cabin right now. We're cruising up the Hardangerfjord and will get as far as the Furebergsfossen waterfall before heading back and towards Bergen for tomorrow. The distant mountains are part of the Folgefonna glacier.

Choppy, deep blue water leads to several layers of land beyond one another, parts of rocky and tree-filled areas along this wide fjord. Small houses of a village nestle to the right in the distance. The furthest land under this cold, piercing blue sky is a jagged mountain range with deep masses of snow and ice on its peaks.


Hi there 👋

I'm new around these parts.

I'm a mid 20s woman from Denmark 🇩🇰

Mostly lurking but will be posting my random thoughts, #tech, #fashion, whenever I do any #travel, and whenever I do something around the web.

I'm also the (currently only blind) software engineer @bemyeyes

Looking forward to chat with you all around these parts


Should I Stay or Should I Go Now? 30 Days Until Martial Law...? (By Jessica Wildfire • 20 Mar 2025.) https://www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go-now-30-days-until-martial-law/ Salacious title, but worryingly possible.

"Meanwhile, corporate media asks, “Can he do that?” These stories are engineered to distract the public with technicalities. While everyone’s debating what they can and can’t do, they are doing it.

We know this administration’s pattern of loose interpretation when it comes to law and historical precedent. There’s no reason to believe he’ll stop here, instead using this act to use force against anyone his administration considers a threat, regardless of their status or what they’re protesting.

You also have to remember this country has a long, established history of censoring speech and leading witch hunts. During WWI, god help you if you didn’t buy enough liberty bonds or called yourself a pacifist.

We’re the land of moral panics.

Every single one of this administration’s actions have been building toward this moment, when the president suspends our civil and human rights. It explains why they’ve taken such aggressive action toward federal agencies, firing tens of thousands of workers and purging their ranks of anyone who might say no. They’ve already been testing boundaries, daring courts to stop them as they shut down government operations and kidnap U.S. citizens."
