Visiting White Pocket was such an incredible experience. If you can imagine what it would be like to stand on Mars, this would be pretty close!
Here is one of my favorites from this spot. A composite btw :)
Jasper’s skies did not disappoint again two nights ago, as the aurora appeared over the ripples of Jasper Lake.
Amazing place to shoot the lights - thanks @braymationstudio for the tip!

It appears that the new Avengers series launches with either flashbacks or an actual trip to the past.
Perhaps the Kooky Quartet is now under suspicion in the wake of HydraCap being (presumably) found out at the conclusion of Secret Wars II?
It’s probably either that or Kang. Because I really doubt Marvel would do a flashback series if it had no bearing on the present stories. And Cap’s entire history back to his childhood was rewritten. If they learn he is a secret Hydra agent now thanks to reality warping, his ENTIRE career as an Avenger, his motives are now uncertain, and his Kooky Quartet would be a perfect place to start digging into that. But Mark Waid is doing a Kang story, so it could also be tied into that, since Kang is a time traveler and all. But they could also do both at the same time.
Well, Kang is definitely involved in some way, since that’s the first arc. But 1.1 and 2.1 have some sort of Kooky Quartet thing going on.
I had a theory that this particular line-up would be great for possibly facing off against other, more suspect Avengers teams (being suspect themselves and legacies), but the actual line-up is kind of hard to parse out. Also, Herc and Spider-Pete don’t fit into the disillusioned legacy idea.
Waid definitely is doing something big here, and it does seem to all tie together in some way. I’m getting a little bit of an Irredeemable/Incorruptible vibe here. Not nearly to those extremes, of course, no one is going to go Plutonian on the Earth, I don’t think. (though, if anyone did, it would be Doom) I dunno if I’d call the Avengers lineup ‘disillusioned’ I think it’s the Champions who are disillusioned, and every one of them is a legacy of a sort, but they are trying to focus that disillusionment in a positive direction. The Avengers lineup seems to have a much darker edge. Vision is in a dark place right now, Iron Man is freaking Dr Doom. But some others yeah, don’t really fit that. Herc is a lot more…. reserved at the moment, but I wouldn’t say he was ‘dark’, at this moment i would say Thor Odinson is a lot darker than Jane, because he is depressed and angry over losing Mjolnir, not to mention his arm. and yeah, Spider-Man’s always been a pretty good guy. I guess if those characters were defined by anything, I think it’s their desire to prove themselves. But even there, some don’t quite fit. But yeah. Since it is Vision at the core of the Kang story, it would make sense for that particular team to be involved somehow, especially considering Waid is writing both.

I guess I’m just confused like.. someone pls help..
pre-n52 origins (to my knowledge)
- M&A both volunteered for some experimental military shit ( at least they think so, they can’t remember ) and bendix fucked em up at the same time in their life, then they were put on a team ( the original “Stormwatch” ) and then bendix betrayed the team and left them all for dead if they didn’t get this artifact thing, which they couldn’t physically get and mid & apollo were the only ones to escape. they then spent like 5 years?? together where they fell in love and fought crime on a small level together. then they found out about some sketchy arms being sold to some place in Nevada where it turns out it was some super sketch Garden thing.. which got them on the new Stormwatch’s radar and then they were recruited after that
n52 stormwatch origins
- M&A were both abducted by aliens and experimented on at like 14.. they both escaped at different times and mid tracked apollo for an entire year before offering to team up with him at the same time that stormwatch found him. they both had names that they remembered?? Andrew for Apollo and Lucas for Mid, and they joined stormwatch & whatever, some dumb au shit happened and the series was super shit as a whole, which is why i assume that most of it got retconned. chinspike.
n52 midnighter solo-series origins
- ??? apparently back to bendix experimented on mid ( and I think Apollo too?? not sure ), he doesn’t remember his own life before the experiments he just made it up bc he thought that Apollo deserved someone who wasn’t just “the Midnighter”, some lady at the God Garden is his “mother” for some reason and im really confused someone pls help me
I think DC is just trying to quietly pretend New 52 Stormwatch never happened, to be honest, or at least only happened in the very broadest of strokes. I am fine with this, it was a complete and utter mess. But from the latest issue, it does appear they’ve kept Apollo’s name being Andrew, and he seems unconnected to Bendix, up until Midnighter kinda dragged him into the mess. But I doubt his origin is still space owls.

This landscape never ceases to amaze me!

The Shell Grotto is an underground passageway that was discovered in 1835 in Kent, England. Its winding corridors are adorned with a mosaic of over 4.6 million shells, and to this day, archaeologists have no idea what its purpose was.
Only in Greenland…
Dreaming of the next adventure. Where’s yours going to be?

I love how the grass follows the patterns on the rugs, i guess some type of wool used were better than others for grass!
Back from a wonderful couple of days exploring Yoho National Park with @MeghanJWard and watching Winter make its grand entrance at Emerald Lake.
Big thanks to @EmeraldLakeLodge for being such great hosts again!When I took this it was wetter above the surface than underneath… Amazing to see the place transform into a winter wonderland though!
