An incredibly windy sunrise in Patagonia beneath Fitz Roy. Every few seconds the clouds shifted, the light changed, and the entire scene felt completely different.

Great news! We have our Arctic Terns back this year on the Isle of May (they didn’t nest last year). These birds have spent their winter in the Antarctic and are now here nesting. You might need a hat!

A gorgeous sunset at Bottle Cove Newfoundland. The ocean was angry and the wind was strong. It was beautiful all the same. Looking forward to seeing this place again later this year!

'Dryden, Ontario: Railway Depot". The photographer has climbed up the water tower and it appears that the people have lined up alongside the depot to enhance his shot. A pencil notation indicates that the year is "1912" but the card was not postally used. Railway RPPCs - especially those showing small-town stations - are among the most collectable of postcards. The name DRYDEN spelled out in flowers reminds me of the giant "city name" signs that have become popular all over Canada (and perhaps elsewhere) over the past 10 years.

Canada has 18 heritage and history months celebrating and reflecting on its diverse communities. Five of these take place in June, but why so many? Well, it turns out there are good reasons.

Pope Leo and other Christian thinkers have captured the gravity of the AI revolution in a way that many secular thinkers have not, @Tyler_A_Harper argues. https://t.co/iWqFyCQrMZ

Yesterday's very early morning moonset in the Netherlands. Such a calm atmosphere with the moon setting on top of the windmills with the countryside covered in fog.

There’s a bird the size of your thumb that flies 13,000km from the Arctic to Adelaide every October. Loses half its bodyweight on the way. Eats non-stop for six months when it gets here. Then turns around and does it again.
