Jānis: I can’t afford that right now, I’ve just returned from Viet Nam.

Minister: Too bad.

Jānis: (Never returns)

continued unimpeded operations of the shadow fleet. The #Latvian prime minister, #Evika_Siliņa, told the #BBC on December 29th that “we should stop them [shadow fleet tankers] going through the #Baltic_Sea…Our government has the power to seize those ships which do not obey international law and impose threats to our critical infrastructure.”

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 21 #WinterSolstice #MidWinter here #MidSummer for those on the currently sunny side of the globe!
In the North we celebrate the beginning of the slow return of #Saule #Sun but don't forget to give #Darkness its due: life, #regeneration begins in the darkness of blood, soil, womb, heart, brain! Darkness is #rest #nest Take time to repose and #reflect and appreciate the long quiet nights.

Standing in the edge of a small irregularly shaped field/pasture. Snow underfoot and ahead 20-30cm / a foot or less deep with occasional bits of grass, weed, saplings poking through and random sets of animal tracks going here and there. To the left open mixed woods with mostly poplar in front, mostly showing their own shadow, a bit of light from the sun off to the right lighting one side. the forest floor is striped with their blue snowy shadows. Farther ahead across another arm of the field, is another strip of mixed woods, mostly spruce in near silhouette. The sun hangs like a great golden white blob to the right just above these trees with light artifacts from the camera lens scattering over the trees below like faint small round rainbows and casts long shadows over the snowy field.. The sky away from the sun is blue. The image has a dull gold frame like folded ribbon and the text Blessed Solstice in an almost script font, a brighter version of the frame colour appears in bottom left.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 19 didn't spend too much time outside yesterday (bit of shovelling, restocking wood etc) but just as I was going out in the afternoon, noticed the sun coming through the trees. Almost #WinterSolstice I walked down the road allowance beside the acreage + just a little way out on the farm following that light #Saule #Sun was playing peek-a-boo through the clouds Her power is at its lowest of the year, but her beauty is great #WinterBright #pagan #Latvian #animist #Alberta

From an open snowy area with numerous small poplar suckers sticking through the snow we look across a wire and post fence and towards a sparse line of irregularly spaced youngish poplars in near silhouette, with many suckers of varying heights among them. A bit farther and another fence then another wider open snowy area, then a dense area of low willows. The sky beyond is sunset gold and orange though about a half hour before actual sunset. The sun is not quite halfway up the view, visible as an area of brighter glow trough thin cloud and half of its disk visible below a narrow band of darker cloud. A slight intensifying filter has given a bit of violet cast and a white vignette has been applied around the edges.
