Golden rapeseed fields stretch towards the horizon, where the #NorthSea meets a rugged headland, creating a serene #CoastalView. The peaceful countryside is dotted with small villages, offering a glimpse of rural life amidst the vibrant #RapeseedField. In the distance, the silhouette of historic ruins crowns the cliff, a reminder of the area’s rich heritage and its appeal to walkers and sightseers. A soft #SunsetSky paints the landscape in warm hues, perfectly complementing this tranquil corner of the British #Countryside.

Teaser of my first 100 km ride with my Brompton. Yesterday, I explored the coast and countryside of Belgium and the Netherlands.
A land-and-coast loop through #WestZeeuwsVlaanderen: starting at #KnokkeHeist train station, riding inland around #Oostburg, and returning along the #NorthSea dikes past #Breskens and #Cadzand.

Perched on the outskirts of Scarborough, the view stretches across rolling fields towards the #NorthSea, where the #EveningHorizon glows softly with the last light of day. Clouds gather over the water, casting dramatic contrasts against a fading #SunsetSky that hints at the wild beauty of the Yorkshire coast. The surrounding #CountrysideEscape is peaceful, with open farmland and hedgerows leading the eye to the distant shoreline. It’s a quiet vantage point popular with walkers exploring the coastal paths and enjoying the expansive #CoastalView.

Scarborough’s South Bay opens to a sweeping sandy beach along the #NorthSea, framed by a peaceful #SeasideLandscape and soft coastal light. A small #HarborLighthouse marks the edge of the historic harbor, contrasting with the cliffs and green hills that rise toward the headland. The #CoastalView stretches across calm waters toward distant headlands, where the tide leaves smooth reflective pools on the sand. Popular with visitors for its #SandyBeach and traditional seaside charm, the bay offers a tranquil pause beside the bustling town.

And how much economic damage is from climate change and pollution from #FossilFuels? #BigOil is the real criminal here!
#ClimateProtesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves
By Kara Fox, CNN
September 14, 2024London CNN — "As #RightWing rioters attacked communities with #racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old #ClimateActivist #CressieGethin sat in a prison cell.
"Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil — a planet-heating #FossilFuel — in the #NorthSea.
"In late July, a London court found #Gethin and four other members of the #JustStopOil activist group guilty of 'conspiring intentionally to cause a #PublicNuisance,' after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 — a major ring road around London — bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.
"Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a #ZoomCall, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over £760,000 ($980,000) and racked up £1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.
"Now Gethin and three others — Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call — are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder #RogerHallam was given five years. All are appealing.
"The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UK’s history for #nonviolent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged #policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.
"They place the act of planning a 'public nuisance' event, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, on a similar footing as #ViolentCrimes like robbery, for which punishments range from community service to 12 years’ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.
"The judge — who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' — justified the long jail terms because all five activists had previously been convicted of one or more offenses in relation to direct action protest. Each were on bail for another set of proceedings when the Zoom call took place. He also noted people missed important doctor’s visits and funerals because of the protest.
"But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand — a rapidly warming world that threatens to transform life as we know it, through deadly #ExtremeWeather events and by pushing #ecosystems to their brinks. They are now battling the bolstered powers of the #police and courts to get their point across.
“'A very harsh sentence like this doesn’t make sense morally or legally — but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a women’s prison just south of London’s Heathrow Airport.
"The laws have drawn criticism from the UN’s special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."
