Reminder: Starmer was listed as a member of the Trilateral Commission, along with that lovable rogue, Kissinger.

He's no longer listed, but that doesn't prove anything about his membership, just that he is still capable of being slightly embarrassed when his far right beliefs are exposed.

”Britain is economically dead,” argues Prof Richard Murphy. “We are being screwed by the system, and not by accident. It's by design…What we're seeing here is market failure. But it's also the consequence of deliberate political policy.”

#GlacierThursday #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography

A colour photo of a body of rippled water with icebergs floating in it. Behind it is a mountainside with two glaciers dropping to water level. The sky is grey but the sunlight is glaring on the left. The icebergs are picking up this light on their left faces.

Well Cool

July. A warm and still day at Jökulsárlón lagoon, and the massive glacier in the near distance is swathed in wispy mist.

One of the hundreds of harbour seals in the clear waters cruises past a jagged iceberg.

Atop the ribbed ice, sea-birds are resting.

A colour photo of a waterscape in tones of cyan. The sky is invisible beyond a scarf of fog. In the centre, an oddly-shaped iceberg is floating. Gulls are perched along the horizontal ridges on the left. In the centre of the shot is the dark head of a seal, trailing a wake behind it. The icebergs are mirrored in the still turquoise water.

#SilentSunday

A landscape in a wetland in the north of Berlin. A stream meanders through a lush green meadow in the foreground. On the horizon, the edge of the forest can be seen in dark green under a blue sky with a few white clouds. In front of it, a large bird flies with its wings outstretched.

Eine Landschaft in einem Feuchtgebiet im Norden Berlins.. Durch eine saftig-grüne Wiese mäandert im Vordergrund ein Bach. Am Horizont ist dunkelgrün der Waldrand unter einem blauen Himmel mit einigen weißen Wolken zu sehen. Davor fliegt ein großer Vogel mit ausgebreiteten Flügeln.

The Kerris Menhir at Kerris near Paul in West Penwith, Cornwall. Photograph taken from the south-east on the 6th of March 2004.

#Kerris #Penwith #Cornwall #Kernow #Menhirs #Megaliths #StandingStoneSunday

A colour photo of the Kerris Menhir in Cornwall, a relatively small, but wide and thick, triangular prehistoric standing stone standing in a field full of leafy crops beneath a gorgeous blue sky full of white fluffy clouds. A hedge lies across the centre of the photo in the middle distance. A thin sliver of fields and low hills in the distance can just be seen above this hedge, with the tower of Sancreed Church just to the left of the menhir. It lies close to the Kerris Roundago, a reputed Iron Age fort, and a couple of ancient Cornish crosses. A large multiple lens flare is to the bottom right.

Until 1990, nights with a low of 20°C or more were rare here, once in a decade or so. Now, we have a few every year. Called 'tropical nights' here :)
Graph runs through 2022.
#globalwarming #ClimateChange

Number of tropical nights averaged over 5 main stations, for years 1900-2022. Mostly zero until 1990, a few per year now.

My planned vantage point was occupied. The railing belongs to a little bridge next to a pond where there are quite a lot of birds.

Grey heron (Ardea cinerea)

#nature #naturephotography #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography

The photograph show a grey heron standing with straght legs a necks, folded wings, looking to the right on an old wooden railing. The railing extends from the left to the middle, in the lower third of the image. A red and white Lifebuoy hangs from a hook on the railing, partly visible.

A slightly out-of-focus bush with green leaves covers the lower right hand corner image, forming a triangle from the lower middle almost to the top right corner

The background is out of focus and consists of grass and further back, the lower part of a row of trees, marking the start of the forest beoynd the wetland where the bridge that the rail belongs to is located

@Catherine_sparrow

Rare indeed. How lovely! 😍
