“. . .the forces of nature, here in harmony with humanity”

A beautiful thought. These exquisite images remind me of words I’ve often heard from you, “always look up”. Even before seeing this post last night, I thought of those words when I saw a beautiful sky almost a replica of yours with the gorgeous pink shades.

The beautiful blue in the first photo & the clouds in the lovely painting echo the same thought, “always look up”.

A nice thought for approaching any day. There may be surprises awaiting.

Thank you for sharing those pictures. Looks like it was a wonderful week. I hope you get to go cross-country skiing again this winter. Those warm colors of the evening sky are just what I needed on a grey Sunday morning.

That painting made me google the artist and I found his nephew first (he was buried in Haarlem on March 14, 1682 - the date struck me as interesting). Different spelling of the last name though. I found some other interesting things looking around the National Gallery of Canada. Thank you for that.

I love how this picture of Luna almost looks like it's black and white and how her right front paw is pointing inside. She's not entirely committed to what's going on outside or has already lost interest and is about to turn. It's not like I overanalyze everything ;-). Lovely picture.

These are wonderful images and thoughts! I wanted to also mention I really resonated with the albatros post the other day - a bird I would love to see in person. 🙏

The wide range of colors in the sky are awesome. It appears that Luna is fascinated too. Enjoy.

Awesome painting by Van Ruysdael, to me it looks like the sailor is running out of daytime?

I think I'm to the west of you, good night (-:
