Not the lawn, just the fields.
Different Robbie Williams. Forgot about the other one.

That makes sense.
And by the way, your tree has three names: Paper Birch, White Birch and Canoe Birch. It's the state tree of New Hampshire (Betula Papyrifera, would be a cool member name too). The pollen can trigger allergies.

I was about to say I know Robbie Williams has been selling off all his houses around the world but I didn’t think he was ”that” hard up

I didn't know that he had sold all his houses. I only heard that Elon Musk had sold all his houses. And Marc Zuchiniberg has bought some superyachts.

Thanks!
Well, that's interesting!
Interestingly, the pater familias of our neighboring farm's family is a longtime former NH Commissioner of Agriculture. I should've asked him. He would know.
He's also quite the raconteur. Amazing man, all in all.

Not mine but a for real WYSIWYG long-exposure photo of 'Gigantic Jets' << Link

Very cool ^

There are videos online that show the sprites or gigantic jets from space. They are plentiful and occur at high altitudes. I think NASA released the videos of them.

Details for photo of: Gigantic Jets over Himalayan Mountains

"Explanation: Yes, but can your thunderstorm do this? Pictured here are gigantic jets shooting up from a thunderstorm last week toward the Himalayan Mountains in China and Bhutan. The composite image captured four long jets that occurred only minutes apart. Gigantic jets, documented only in this century, are a type of lightning discharge that occurs between some thunderstorms and the Earth's ionosphere high above them. They are an unusual type of lightning that is much different from regular cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning. The bottoms of gigantic jets appear similar to a cloud-to-above strike called blue jets, while the tops appear similar to upper-atmosphere red sprites. Although the mechanism and trigger that cause gigantic jets remains a topic of research, it is clear that the jets reduce charge imbalance between different parts of Earth's atmosphere. A good way to look for gigantic jets is to watch a powerful but distant thunderstorm from a clear location."

I imagine a suitable grounding box would sort them out

By squinting at first view of the image, I pretended that this is how all those drones aimed at Israel were shot down!

Please sing us a few more bars of that picturesque scene, despite OP's request for "no words'!
Is that your (and your dog's) sweet spot?

Sure! That is Lyra in the picture, 4yr old Lagotto, taken from a repositioned hammock now overlooking the fjord with me and a duvet inside. We’re next to our outmost terrace at our cabin, with the new lounge furniture carried up last week at the cost of blood and sweat. 140kg in total, taken across to the island in two stages and carried up (34 altimeters from the coastline, 100m in as the crow flies). Not doing that again the next 40 years!

My daughter is also hanging out, reading John Irving in the sun while waiting for the nailpolish to dry

Sigh…………..That looks impossibly idyllic, there’s so many places on the Scottish west coast that would suit such a cabin but with our restrictive planning regulations it’s an impossibility, the benefits to health and mental well being of our nation’s population would be immense if such cabins were possible.

You’re very blessed indeed

I can't seem to locate any outdoor music hardware, from your photos...

True! I'm really the type that prefers not to bother the rest of the world with my music listening. But in the living room behind the reflective window in the last photo I have my cabin setup

FWIW, planning regulations are very strict here as well. The general rule for the last 60 years is that building in the so-called «100m belt» around the coastline is prohibited, in order to give everyone unfettered access. But you can apply for exemptions, which are given when there is deemed to be no hindrance to the public. The cabin on the bottom right in the last photo was built under this exemption.

Just the start of another SoCal wildfire in August. meh!
Noooooo, I said a Bud Light!

Next day:

Named "Airport" fire, it got even worse overnight.
The small rising smoke -on the right of the lifeguard tower ladder- went "wild" a few hours after this (nuke-looking) outburst.
We are surrounded by (but protected from) other local fires in San Bernardino and LA Counties.
The only threat is the to the antenna-farm at that peak and comm antennas at Mt. Baldy.
This all should make for a great sunset tonight.
