Crashing waves at the pillow lava formation. Yakushima, Japan.
Basalt rocks on the shore, shallow pools on the left, a vibrant green hill in the background, and grey skies. A wave crashes up against the rough dark stone while more come pounding in from the ocean. The whole place was like the Toho logo at the beginning of Godzilla movies. Yakushima, Japan.

Moonlight spice harvest

Dune: Awakening
A waning quarter moon lighting up miles of desert sand. Centered is a crater partially filled with the purple spice melange, the most valuable substance in the universe. Six large dragonfly-shaped ornithopters and several smaller ones flit up and down to harvest the Spice while avoiding sandworms. Screenshot from the video game Dune: Awakening.

Spice Blow

Dune: Awakening
A vent in the middle of a sand crater explodes upward with the purple spice melange, the most valuable substance in the universe. The foreground is a tan rock (the spire my character is perched on while observing this), and the sand dunes all around are lit by the harsh daylight. It is slightly dusty as the Coriolis storm begins to build.

Sunrise over Arrakis

Dune: Awakening
A screenshot of the video game Dune: Awakening, showing my character in a hood and stillsuit silhouetted on the left. In the sky on the left is a sliver of the large moon. To the right, the sun is just peeking over the horizon, giving the desert landscape below a beautiful orange-purple color. Centered in the sand is a large crater full of purple traces of the spice melange, the most valuable substance in the universe. Zooming in to the crater, nearly a dozen dragonfly-shaped ornithopters and sandcrawlers harvest the Spice while dipping up and down to avoid the sandworms.

Listen, this has been my favorite movie to have on in the background ever since it came out. The characters are all sincerely trying their best, the aesthetics hit just right, it's a great take on Frankenstein's monster, Dracula is delightful, and it's the closest thing I had to a Castlevania movie.

When you just feel like going a little deeper into the woods. Yakushima, Japan.
A wooden path with a rail on the mountainside. It's green all over and wet from the mornings rain. Thin trees along the path alternate between totally moss-covered and looking bare and barkless. One of the trees has a stepladder of mushrooms growing up its side. Shiratani Unsuikyo Gorge, Yakushima, Japan.

Just got a fresh shipment in!

Sometimes you just gotta order a single enormous taco
A giant taco smothered in green chile and cheese with sour cream on a turquoise plate at a Mexican restaurant. It was delicious.

Excellent thread of hats! Here is the most recent cool hat I saw.
Mid 19th-century Icelandic bridal costume at the National Museum in Reykjavik, including a tall, tapered hat with lots of embroidery and tassels. The rest of the outfit includes a velvet vest, green woven under-dress, chunky golden belt, red scarf around the neck, and a majestic black woollen skirt with detailed and colorful flower embroidery around the hem. I believe it was on loan from the V&A.

Stone lantern at Kurama-dera, just north of Kyoto via an excellent hike.
Next to a stone staircase, a Japanese stone lantern begins to shed its light as dusk falls. The lantern is a pale gray, and its top is covered in moss but its body is clean. It's on a stone plinth that is covered in lichens.

#WaterfallWednesday with some Iceland again. Here we have Goðafoss, where according to legend the statues of the old gods were sent over the falls when the island converted to Christianity.
The horseshoe-shaped Goðafoss, a majestic waterfall called the "Niagara of Iceland". It is a cloudy day, and the water is an opaque gray.

Just chilling, with *squints* Riven's Thunder Thighs...

Actually, my favorite was the Eliksnki babysitter at the fish tank in HELM.

I miss Destiny 2 fishing and its very silly gun-pun fish names. Thanks for including it!

Torōki Falls, 2025
Missing the clean air and cool waters of Yakushima today with all this smoke in the US.
