As we shift towards autumn, August spells summer’s last breaths. I’ve not had a lot of time for photography this month, but hope you enjoy what moments I captured.
More summer clouds
Couldn’t help myself capturing some more summer clouds:

Boserup Skov
Took a Sunday trip to Boserup Skov, a forest on the fjord, and a few kilometers northwest of Roskilde.

Another type of birding
Bird photography: commonly associated with khaki-attired photographers wielding expensive, bazooka-sized lens. These birds don’t move, and can be found mostly in urban habitats (from my research, they’ve also been spotted in other cities). An online search uncovered an article (in Danish) about about the aptly named ‘Birds Crew’ responsible. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on other pieces in the future!

In the backyard
You don’t have to travel to exotic locations to enjoy the process of photography – a joy of taking frequent walks in your neighbourhood is being present and finding new compositions:

Photo of the month
Taken in Boserup Skov. I was drawn to the mixture of forest types that created a strong contrast (both texture and light). The repeating lines of imposing dark trunks add interest to the scene.

Interesting things I’ve read/watched
What can Magic the Gathering colour system say about humanity? A lot, apparently. Really neat article! Here’s a snippet:
A world without green, on the other hand, is a world unmoored from reality and disconnected from its own history. It’s a world full of bold schemes that fail to pan out, disasters that take generations to build momentum but are noticed too late. It’s a world where everything is out of place — where nothing truly even has a place — a constant parade of divorces and suicides and famines and extinctions, where things like global warming and eugenics and welfare programs with misaligned incentives happen all the time. It’s a world where the qualities that people derive from Zen Buddhism, or from the contemplation of a sunset, or from a hike in the mountains, or from the embrace of a grandmother, or from the sermon of an ancestor, are all entirely absent. It’s a place where you eat and eat and eat, but you never feel truly full.
Interesting article about how important geography is in shaping history.
There are projections that we will reach peak human population in this century, which is a good thing if we want to continue to share the planet with other organisms.
Big Tech obfuscating the energy and water cost of ‘AI’, and some journalism about how the demand of data centres affects people’s electricity bills.
Excellent video about the history of Google search, and why is sucks now.
Great video about work.
Fly My Pretties released a new album this year, check it out!
