The Enchanted City, Petras Kalpokas
I think this is so good, wow, to me the vagueness and glow give it the bleary feel of an early morning with the fog burning off. Pretty sure that's a graveyard beyond the riders and trees, with crypts and decorative landscaping.

California Sues Big Oil
That #COP28 is being held in a #Petrostate with an #OilBoss in charge in 2023 as our cities literally burn around us will be a gobsmacking fact for future historians. It reveals an industry not even slightly fearful of a global population whose #LifeAndDeath they trade for profit.

#Okleigh #victoria #Australia has a public cemetery that’s in a filed, meadow type setting, without fences or restriction. It’s open to anyone wandering through this public space.
