A landscape view of Kiyomizu-dera, a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.

The temple and pagoda are visible in the background, surrounded by trees, many of which are transitioning into vibrant autumn colors. One tree on the left, in particular, is nearing peak red foliage. The whole area is very centered toward nature, encouraging visitors and worshippers to find calmness within themselves while appreciating both the history and beauty of the place.

The 3-story pagoda is orange and gold, while the temple is a more natural brown and gold. sad constructed using wooden pillars over a mountainside. Both are stunning. — A landscape view of Kiyomizu-dera, a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.

One of the shrines in Kiyomizu-dera. A stone wall and adjoining fountain set a peaceful, centering aura, while a mini red temple sits atop the structure, requesting reverence and tranquility. In the background are many trees, some of which are transitioning to red.

With no outside to draw from, they turn to coercion. #Repression becomes the only means to preserve #accumulation, often with the direct or indirect support of the core powers.

The #violence that marks many capitalist states in the #South is therefore not cultural or accidental but structural. #Capitalism itself requires #violence to survive. The #imperial core can appear #peaceful only because the #brutality is displaced elsewhere.

This is an autumn scene photo taken along a curved section of a fairly flat accessible trail which runs through a forest. The trail is covered with fallen leaves which range in colour from light brown to orangish. The trail curves slightly to the right in the frame with trees close to the edges on both sides. Some green leaves still remain on the trees providing a mix of colour across the photo. The frame is filled with trees and leaves in the top section with no sky showing.

This photo was taken along a trail in a wooded area during the day. A staircase made of wood is in the centre of the frame, rising up into the background. A handrail with two sections is present on the left hand side of the stairs. The trail leads up to the beginning of the steps and trees line both sides of the staircase. Although mid-October, the leaves on the trees in this area are still mostly green. Some brown fallen leaves can be seen on the trail itself.

This is an autumn season photo taken at a "T" intersection of two paths. A number of the trees are in the foreground which still have colourful leaves attached. Some of the leaves however have fallen and cover the ground. The background has vegetation that is still green in places. This photo definitely has an autumn vibe and feel to it. The frame is filled with colour.

We took pictures of each other’s signs! Hers was so great, w the little doll hands and the red cheeks of the SCOTUS puppets. So cheap, only $4.3M each!
Her scissors message is spot on: “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty”.

Protest sign of the president with doll hands and strings, controlling his six judges on the Supreme Court. The woman holding it is using her phone to take a picture of my sign.

“Don’t Give Up” but then an exclamation point, down near the poster of an inflatable frog reading “HOP” - my protest sign.

#MikeJohnson Called Us Hateful. Meet the #Portland #Frog. How dancing protesters proved love defeats hate and why millions #march #October18 https://substack.com/inbox/post/175921873 The costumes also serve practical purposes: They provide protection from #teargas and #pepperspray; They make it visually obvious there are no #weapons; They show the #protests are #peaceful; They make protesting feel accessible to people who are #scared; And most importantly, they refuse to let #Trump set the emotional tone.
