Looking east just after sunset: pink clouds and the belt of Venus which is that rosy glow just above the horizon.

Today, the last Sunday in July is known as Reek Sunday in Ireland.

A traditional pilgrimage to the top of Ireland's most holy mountain, Croagh Patrick, takes place.

All 764 metres from sea level on steep slopes.

As part of the pilgrimage, to this mountain associated with Saint Patrick, some of the pilgrims walk all or part barefoot.

Golden hour is the time shortly after sunrise and before sunset when the sunlight is soft and has warm, goldish tone. When the Sun is low, there is a thick layer of atmosphere that the sunlight has to pass through. It scatters the blue and violet wavelengths and lets mainly orange and red wavelengths through, making the light appear goldish. The length of golden hour is not an hour sharp but it varies by location; at the equator it’s about 50 minutes while in the north it can last even the whole night

Something I noticed when looking at videos about atmospheric phenomenon. I love how you can tell the alchemists were including the structure of light into their diagrams.

Cyclone Bomb Hits Southern Brazil in 2020

Bloodborne is seriously the most beautiful game of all time i think about this every single time i replay it but genuinely. Just exploring yharnam and staring in awe at how gorgeous everything is, its never about graphics, bloodborne has a noticeable stylization i think in a way even stronger than other fromsoft games, and the use of lighting and color palettes is just so good it makes me want to Be there. The game is already so stunning as it is ingame but i think having access to the map viewer on my own to the side made me appreciate it even more i love seeing the way everything is constructed and put together with just the flat textures before applying any engines and even as flat surfaces you can just feel the cohesion in the backgrounds, even textureless stripped of everything that makes it "beautiful" it still feels so unique and already gets the vibe across and that explains how the game feels the way it does visually, which is something i think a lot of current gen "high fidelity" games struggle with. Hard to explain what I mean but I feel it. Also i love the slight like chromatic aberration effect bb has on the edges of the screen it adds such a nice touch to the atmosphere honestly. Sighs dreamily
