'Old Age.' (1922) Marianne von Werefkin was one of the most remarkable women at the centre of Munich’s avant-garde circle at the turn of the 20thC. Her use of non-naturalistic colours freed its descriptive role in painting and deepened her personal connection with the landscape.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

A portrait of a red horse with blonde mane standing in the sun, looking straight at me. His mane is slightly off to one side in the wind. There is some frosty water droplets in his beard hairs.

Breaking waves with some sunset cloud light reflected. It's long exposure so the water is smooth and silky.

One more for tonight! I finally got to get close to some waves with nice light to do my handheld long exposure thing. Rather pleasing to the eye I think :)

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
