This happens twice a day (1400 and 2400) every day from the 1st to the 19nd of March.

The phone speaker probably doesn't do it justice how loud this actually is!

Blackpool, Lancashire, England, UK.

Was able to visit the ongoing superbloom event in Death Valley last week. Absolutely incredible to see the valley floor covered in flowers. It is expected to last through April I believe (climbing to higher elevations as it goes), so I’d highly recommend anyone that is close enough to visit to check it out.

A vast field of yellow Desert Gold flowers in bloom with low hills in the distance which rise up to a mountain side.

A field of blooming Notch-leaf Scorpionweeds leads out towards the dry lake bed in Death Valley. Purple flowers cover the lower half of the frame, with a view of a snow covered Telescope peak in the far distant upper left, rising 11k ft above it all.

Several blooming Desert-five spot flowers in abloom of purple-pink, surrounded by unopened buds. One flower may be seen fully opened and exposing some of the beautiful interior red spots.

These sculptures get built and burnt at the end. There's been fireworks going off constantly since the 1st pretty much.

I thought the sculptures were made with wooden frames and papier mache but unfortunately it's all polystyrene pretty much

Today is the International Day of Action for Rivers.

Climate Change, Deforestation, Upstream Dams and Diversion, Urbanization, Population Pressure are the most acute reason behind the dying situation of a mighty river like Padma. Changes in weather patterns and shifting precipitation regimes have led to reduced rainfall and altered river flow. These changes disrupt the natural balance of water in the river. Unregulated deforestation along the river basin has resulted in soil erosion, siltation, and reduced groundwater recharge. This, in turn, impacts the river's ability to maintain a healthy water flow. Construction of dams and diversion of water for various purposes upstream significantly reduces the water reaching downstream areas, including the Padma River. The gradual drying of the Padma River carries several grave consequences like Ecological Impact, Environmental Degradation, Agricultural Disruption, Water Scarcity, Economic Fallout and many others. Reduced water flow disrupts the river's ecosystems, affecting aquatic life, wetlands, and biodiversity. Farmers who rely on the river for irrigation face challenges, leading to decreased agricultural productivity. As the river's water levels drop, it directly impacts the availability of drinking water for communities living along its banks. The drying of the river can lead to increased pollution, sedimentation, and loss of natural habitats.

Columbus is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Ohio. It had a population of 905,748 at the 2020 census, making it the 14th most populous city in the United States, and a metropolitan area population of around 2.2 million. The city is the county seat of Franklin County and also extends into Delaware and Fairfield counties. Columbus was founded in 1812 at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers and was named after Christopher Columbus. It became the state capital in 1816 and grew during the nineteenth century as a transportation and industrial hub linked by the National Road, canals and railroads. Columbus is now a center for high-tech manufacturing with plants operated by Intel, Honda and LG Energy Solution and is home to Ohio State University, one of the largest universities in the country. This photograph shows Downtown Columbus and the Scioto Mile, viewed from the southwest.

Took some time but this one came out really nicely! Found an old film camera secondhand and just love the colours it produces.
