Two views, same sunset, 180° apart left = looking out the living room door right = sunset & Finnegan the dog reflected in a painting ( #art = detail from "Horse From Nueruet" by Mike Smith)

parted mosquito screen with branches, grazing horses, pines & a smoky sunset with a strange orange ball that keeps appearing in the skypainting detail with stylized horse and rural scene overimposed with a reflection from the view in the prior photo, including my dog getting ready to walk inside - painted horse appears to be looking at the reflected sun

So interesting 💭 "Relighting 'Nighthawks' - bit.studio reimagines Edward Hopper's classic artwork, turning the most crucial element, the 'light,' into something you can actually control!" The exhibit is held at the bit.studio gallery on the 3rd floor, Slowcombo building in Samyan, Bangkok. #art

The ranch where the horses live most of the year is right between the southern arm of the Tartar & Fox fires. Texted their owner this morning & got this reply:

Made fajitas for breakfast. Threw in some peaches at the last minute. I’ll sure as heck do that again. 🍑🌶️
