Just remember - there’s hope on the horizon, and it has nothing to do with the result of an election. It could be a connection to nature, or maybe it's that bright orange light at the end of the tunnel.

Moonset. Looking over the sea to Skye on an incredible winters night. The West coast of Scotland is a truly remarkable place.

Just getting all my ducks in row so I'm ready for my favourite time of year for landscape photography. I plan to chase the snow where ever it falls.
Also chuffed to see so many joining Nostr after watching my latest video. Mention me in a post and i'll find you and follow, if I haven't already.

Alarm is set 5am. Ready to get out into the landscape, results far from guaranteed, questionable weather and ready to graft for my craft. This is the way.
Every piece, like this one, is proof of work that is often not appreciated about landscape photographers.

I was previously running a routing node. Learned a lot, but in the end I felt it wasn’t worth the time to keep it running and I didn’t enjoy having liquidity tied up and outside of cold storage.
I did spin up a new node using Alby Hub over the weekend though. Very convenient and I use it as walk around cash, and also let’s me accept payments on my website connecting to my btcpay via NWC. Just paid a few sats to get the incoming liquidity.

2024-10-01 08:43:27

Every morning I wake up feeling pumped, infused with hope for the future. Keeping away from corporate news, twitter and instagram - i can keep this feeling going all day.
Here's a hopeful photograph, to help you get pumped for the day.

Spent the weekend tinkering.
Set up a new ⚡ node using @npub1get…0nfm Hub. Works great and links to my @npub155m…dcvg through NWC. Zaps and payments on my website are now self-custodial and fully peer-to-peer.
Also downloaded @npub1tm9…xn72 for the fully private DM's. Integrated Cashu wallet is very interesting too.

The mountain just above the tip of the tree is Great End. The bigger peak to the right is Great Gable.
I’m using a longer lens so they appear closer in the picture than if you were standing there.

2024-09-12 17:10:53

Like this tree, I’ve always been a misfit. I never quite fit in, living on the edges of the system and felt like I was on the outside looking in. Picking up a camera therefore felt like the most natural thing in the world.
Same reason I later discovered bitcoin.

Here we have pine, finished with Indian Ink followed by a satin hard wax oil.
This size is particularly good with the A2 borderless print. Still work to be done perfecting my mat cutting skills. But very close!!
