Some journeys begin not with a destination, but with the quiet realisation that you can no longer remain where you are. So you step forward - uncertain, weary, but still moving towards the light. #Hope #Sunset #Photography
Whitby’s decision to replace its whale-bone arch with bronze is progress. But why preserve a monument to whaling at all? History should be remembered honestly - not celebrated through the image of its victims. My latest article: ko-fi.com/post/A-Bronz... #Whales #AnimalRights #Whitby

BREAKING NEWS: For the first time in 400 years, Scotland’s guga hunt will not go ahead. NatureScot has refused the 2026 licence to kill 2,000 juvenile gannets after mounting pressure. Tradition is never a licence for wanton slaughter. #AnimalRights #Wildlife open.substack.com/pub/protectt...
WE DID IT! GUGA HUNT LICENCE REJECTED! 🎉
A major victory for compassion, for science and for common sense.

Perhaps #Caturday has had its time. Perhaps I’m just growing bored with posting cats on command. Judging by this one, the cats may be growing bored with it too. He didn’t even stay for the photograph.
Some windows show you the weather. This one shows you how small you are. Imagine waking up, opening the shutters and finding the mountains already waiting - silent, ancient and lit by the first sun. Would you ever close them? #Photography by Pritam Chhetri, Nepal #Nature #Mountains

Have you ever heard a butterfly hiss?
Pathless Pilgrim Ⓥ@pathlesspilgrim.bsky.social · 6d agoDID YOU KNOW... The peacock butterfly can hiss. When threatened, it flashes four giant eyespots and rubs its wing-veins together, producing a hiss and clicks beyond human hearing - a remarkable defence against predators. It's also the most numerous #butterfly in our #garden right now. #Nature
