A panoramic angle on yesterday morning's dawn light over northern Lake George. When I saw the soft color in the sky I moved to a couple of different locations to photograph the light.

Followed.
We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account.
Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.
While the dawn light was rather soft this morning, it filled the clouds with beautiful pastel tones in this photo of northern Lake George.

I am part of a group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers that is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that is being ignored by the Justice Department under Trump -- the Rule of Law Project. trib.al/XSKy0i8

Russia is preparing for war in Europe, and they continue to be issued visas.
Spanish police have arrested a former Russian soldier after discovering an illegal weapons operation in Catalonia, near the French border.
Investigators uncovered a concealed workshop inside a rented warehouse in Figueres, approximately 25 kilometers from France. The facility contained 644 firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, silencers and weapons components.
The seized arsenal is estimated to be worth €5 million.

Israeli soldiers beat and injured Hijazi Shawer, a 70-year-old Palestinian shopkeeper and community leader, during a raid in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank. The assault comes amid house-to-house searches and the forced displacement of more than 2,000 people.

Security camera captures Israeli forces entering a civilian home in Zowtar Al Sharqia and subsequent destruction of the home.
More than 60 towns and villages in Lebanon are currently occupied by Israeli forces and 48 towns have been systematically demolished. Civilian homes and infrastructure such as schools, water sources and medical facilities are being razed to the ground on a daily basis.
During The Wild Center photo tour last evening, we photographed sunset over Tupper Lake, while the nearly full moon was rising over Simon Pond.
4 photos from a fairly quick stop at Rogers Rock Campground, Lake George, on my way back from Mt Philo on Sunday morning. It's hard to beat beautiful clear skies with sunlight on the fall color and shimmering on the clear lake water.

Armed FBI agents are seizing ballots from local election facilities nationwide, and threatening state election officials. The fix is in.

The federal energy regulator, led by a Trump appointee, is reviewing an application for an underwater AI data center in Alaska's Cook Inlet.
Among the first of its kind in American waters.
350 turbines. 66 server "hives." Sunk into the seafloor.
Only about 330 endangered belugas are left in Cook Inlet, down from roughly 1,300 in 1979. The Center for Biological Diversity says the site would sit inside their critical habitat.
They can't see through the glacial silt, so they talk, and they click to find food. Mothers and calves use a special call to stay in touch, and scientists say ship noise can drown it out.
The Center for Biological Diversity warns that noise from building and running those turbines could disrupt how belugas feed and communicate, and push them out of habitat they need.
It's not just the whales. A commercial fishing group says DeepGreen never studied the impact on the 1,300+ active fishing permits in Upper Cook Inlet.
DeepGreen's parent company was formed in January 2026. It has no public website, and its Delaware filings don't say who owns it.
The Alaska Energy Authority says DeepGreen never even contacted them, despite the company claiming ties to the state's own power grid project, and called facts in DeepGreen's filing "dead wrong." Regulators also found DeepGreen never notified the city of Kenai or identified the tribes and Alaska Native corporations affected. DeepGreen fixed it a week later, only after regulators flagged it.
At this point, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is only deciding whether to let DeepGreen study the site. And even past surveys in Cook Inlet needed federal permission to disturb them. As far as the reporting shows, DeepGreen doesn't have it.
The belugas can't speak up in this review. You can. Tell the commission to deny this application.
Link is in the first reply. 🐋

This polar bear died of starvation in its homeland, which is supposed to be teeming with prey. Photographer and biologist Paul Nicklen, who has spent more than 30 years in the Arctic, says that during most of those years he only came across one dead polar bear, and then within just two weeks his team found two that had died of starvation. Polar bears rely on sea ice to hunt seals, and with rising temperatures and receding ice, the search for food becomes longer and more difficult, potentially ending with some of them dying of hunger.

Join me next Saturday, 10/24/26 from 3-11 PM for an afternoon of photography, followed by an evening photographing the trolls with headlamps under the stars and moonlight at The Wild Center. Details at wildcenter.org/events/trollp…
Fall color was as good as it gets this year in many Adirondack Park locations. Colors were peak from valley floor to summits on our 10/4 High Peaks area photo tour - light and clouds added unique photo ops in the Keene area.

“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah.
Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah.
Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah.
"The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him.
Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.
