#january
I was going to take a photograph of the #WaxingGibbous #Moon this afternoon and as I was going to the #east-facing side of the house, I noticed that an #aeroplane was on approach from the #west. When #winds have an #easterly component then the active #runway at the #airport is #08 and we're not far from the #GlidePath.
Of course, I didn't forget my original intention and so here is our nearest companion in the #Cosmos. I used a shutter speed of 1/5000 s and that's why the #sky looks much darker than it really appeared to the naked eye.

Lesson 18: Be Calm When The Unthinkable Arrives
We have to speak plainly about what happened in the United States: There was a #coup attempt by a sitting president. We have to record those events.
We also have to recognize that what happened in #January #2021 was a blueprint for the next coup. [...] Failed coups are lessons for those who wish to carry out successful #coups.
*Sky
a January sky
a 2020, the western woods uniformly
bathed in morning sun, a sliver screen see through
lain over woods,
sublimin-
al;
of the northern woods, different moods,
blotchy light,
splotch of remarkable intensity,
crowds of upper limbs rise, bathing in intermediary light
tell tale signs of night,
in the interim
light plays on mind tentatively, a breath is held,
until the northern appears, like the western woods
subliminal
during the interval
descends a darkness
I withdraw, the empty throne
sits unoccupied,
turning the tables, was it ever meant to
be
occupied?
