Zero points for creativity in titling.

All the points for execution, though. This is absolutely splendid.

31 This is a lovely piece. The use of the setting sun fading light to create deep shadows and no details. Just silhouettes against a gold-rust background. It's simple, quiet, and peaceful.

I also like the long, narrow canvas. It allows for a focus on the landscape and sky.

It was rhennigantx, not me

And yeah, the ultra-wide aspect ratio made me imagine huge scale, too. It isn't small - the painting is two feet long - but it isn't a wall-mounted vista like I'd assumed.

53 I tell you what I see when I look out there. I see the undeveloped resources of Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, and Michigan. I see a syndicated development consortium exploiting over a billion and a half dollars in forest products. I see a paper mill and if the strategic metals are there, a mining operation. A greenbelt between the condos on the lake and a waste management facility focusing on the newest rage in toxic waste, medical refuse. Infected bandages, body parts, IV tubing, contaminated glassware, entrails,syringes, fluids, blood, low grade radioactive waste all safely contained sunken in the lake and sealed for centuries. Now I ask you what do you see?

103 So here's a question - they recently made superhero movies about female leads - Phoenix and Scarlet Witch and yes they made both movies lame but in neither case did they make the star gay it up. Is it because they are both pre-existing important characters from their universes?

Sure you can. I mean, I do.

A little taste test is fine if you're using it with coffee, but that's amateur hour. For a *real* treat - like, no more than once a week based on my experience, or else you'll get bored with it - just have cool glass of half-and-half in a 50:50 ratio with condensed milk.

Different rules for women.

Women can be gay, or hyper-masculine, or sexually promiscuous (or even downright predatory). Men must be gay or asexual, but women get more options in Hollywood stories.

189 Twilight on the Sound, Darien, Connecticut (1872)
John Frederick Kensett

There is an interesting few minutes as the sun approaches the horizon and then slides below it. Because the light is highly directional, foreground objects slide deeper into shadow while the sky the near the horizon increasingly saturates in color as the sunlight is penetrating the low sky horizontally. Meanwhile the high sky is increasingly heading into to a deep blue that an hour will be black.

Photography is uniquely suited to capture these transient changes while painting depends on the memory and skill of the painter to immortalize these ephemeral changes. Toss in a 2:1 aspect ratio that approximates the field of view of human vision, something exploited later in cinema, and you get a lovely seascape/landscape.

This time of day is one of my favorite times to be out with a still camera photographing the land. Looking carefully at the land then can be a profoundly meditative time and that I have found it often to be far more rewarding than the actual images captured.

Would hang.

We tended not to go through the race, which you have to do to get to Shelter. In fact I don't think I ever went all the way through the race, got into a bit and bailed. The race gets choppy and pitch poling is a thing. I also got tired of being hiked out when we dug into a wave.
