From this panoramic view, it's easy to see how Tonlé Sap Lake is more than just water—it’s a lifeline. Boats come and go, people wade through the shallows, and tuk-tuks wait at the riverbank, all part of the daily rhythm of Cambodia’s stilt house villages.
The lake’s ever-changing waters dictate the pace of life here. Whether fishing, trading, or traveling, everything revolves around the rise and fall of this vast freshwater ecosystem. It’s a world where land and water blur, creating a unique way of life found nowhere else.
A cold February morning in Ghent, under the Vlaamsekaai bridge along the kleine ring, where cyclists push through the chill on their daily commute. The early light, the long shadows, and the textured walls make for a perfect monochrome moment.

in the flux of passeig de gràcia, a metro car streaks by, a red canvas blurring lines between here and there. people anchor the frame, still against the streak of color, immersed in their thoughts, conversations, and devices. some stand in anticipation, others seek comfort in the benches—each a singular story, a private contemplation. the station is a crossroad of journeys, of pauses and departures, where the stillness of waiting contrasts with the swift passage of time. it's an urban tableau, a fleeting intersection of lives in motion, captured in the rhythm of barcelona's heartbeat.
One of my daily routine tasks every winter evening is to put rolled oats to soak in milk for the following morning's breakfast porridge.

Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor, a buzzing hub for travelers and culture lovers. But just beyond the city’s lively streets, another world unfolds. Exploring these outskirts offers a glimpse into local life, where wooden stilt houses, open fields, and dirt roads tell a different story of Cambodia.

366-The 2016 Edition-Daily Routine.
This is a photo I took out the window this morning of Stu and Shizandra returning home from their walk. He takes her to the park where they play ball every morning.
I have been wanting to try some 'splash' photography for a while now and this week's Macro Monday challenge provided the perfect opportunity as my daily routine starts with a bowl of cereals covered in ice-cold milk!
Technical: I poured milk into a 9-inch square, deep-sided dish to a depth of about 1/2 inch. I poured about a glass of milk into a small sandwich bag and suspended the bag above the dish and then poked a small hole into the sandwich bag to begin the stream of drips. My first attempt at poking a hole was a bit of a disaster as I was a tad over-zealous in the 'poking' and managed to push the pin right through the bag thereby creating a hole on both sides, which was also too large, and resulted in two streams of milk pouring onto the kitchen worktop and making quite a mess; luckily Mrs R was out for the afternoon! My second attempt was more 'delicate' and resulted in a single, smaller hole from which the milk dripped rather than poured. These drips were too fast to start with but slowed to a steady (and predictable) rate after a few moments (set up and camera / flash settings inspired by watching a YouTube video featuring Gavin Hoey - very helpful and saved me LOADS of time in wasted effort!). I had my off-camera flash positioned above the dish and bounced onto a white floor tile erected behind the milk dish to back-light and freeze the motion. The flash was set to 1/16 power. Then it was a case of trial and error with a hit-rate of about 1 in 4 keepers. This one I liked because it filled the frame and had some nice contrast and shapes.
Happy Macro Monday, everyone.

This short video can be seen as a reaction to our 'brave new world' filled with disconnected bits of information. Constantly updated news are overwhelming our daily life.

Here we go - over the fields and far away !
Early morning routine, when enjoying our Dorset holiday.
Stepping off the boat, we were surrounded by daily life on Tonlé Sap Lake. A fisherman carried his nets, a woman balanced baskets of goods, and boats waited to head out. This is the rhythm of Cambodia’s floating villages.
Here, the lake is everything—a road, a market, and a source of livelihood. Every boat ride, every trade, and every moment on the water shows the resilience and adaptability of the people who live here.

a candid moment captured at a city bus stop, where reflection meets reality. the scene plays with symmetry and color, as the bright yellow and black pattern frames the woman engrossed in her own world. the reflection in the glass creates a dual perspective, inviting the viewer to pause and ponder over the small stories unfolding in the everyday hustle. it's an intersection of urban life, color, and solitude, where even the quiet moments find their voice.
nestled in the gentle light of pollença's old town, an everyday scene unfolds before an age-old window. two women, clad in white and red, stand out like vibrant strokes of paint yet blend into the historical tapestry. they work in unison, the window their shared charge, tending to the legacy before them. half-open, half-closed, it captures their exchange—not of words, but of movements, a shared rhythm in the act of cleaning and renewal. a simple bucket stands witness to the unassuming nature of this scene, rich in history and community.
in the heart of the city, a tranquil park offers a respite from the hustle. under the shade of mature trees, two elderly men share a bench, their silent conversation punctuated by the cooing of pigeons. the scene is a daily slice of urban life where nature and community converge. as pigeons gather, pecking at seeds scattered by passersby, the men observe the routine spectacle, a moment of peace in the rhythm of city life, a simple joy found in the presence of feathered friends and the quiet company of each other.

A subliminal message perhaps on this Monday morning. I saw this as I was heading towards the entrance to my building. It speaks to me of my commitment to my 366 project. My commitment in getting back to the gym and healthy eating after being sick all week. My commitment to being the best I can be today.
I hope it motivates you!

I brush my teeth in the shower while washing my hair. It's not about saving time, it's about the freedom to slobber toothpaste all over my body and bathroom.

Vivitar 285 HV @ 1/4 bounced off the wall to my front. Had to substitute an 8 foot light stand for my tripod because it didn't have the height. Next time I'd try backlighting the photo to accentuate the water more.

in the pulse of palma's market hall, where the scent of fresh produce lingers like the morning mist, a man stands at the cusp of a reflection. artfully split by the sheen of a polished column, his image doubles, creating a symmetry that blurs the lines between reality and illusion. he is both shopper and reflection, a singular being moving through the rhythm of daily life. his white attire, unstained and simple, speaks to the purity of market transactions, an echo of simpler times. around him, the hum of commerce dances, the call of vendors, the rustle of leaves and paper, a symphony of sustenance. this is a place unaltered by the rush of modernity, where every exchange is personal, every item has a story, and every reflection tells the truth of everyday life, replicated, but always unique.

So, my new job has me commuting one hour each way. Two hours every day is a bit poopy, but it's made better by the fact that Scott's new job is on the way. So, I drop him at the 45-minute mark and keep going. It's been surprisingly pleasant to commute together. This is the first job I have ever had to which I have commuted by car regularly. It's a bit of a weird feeling (employee parking lot etiquette, as one example of a learning experience).
So, on to this image. I shot this out of a moving car. Our car. Going about 80 clicks. I drive in the morning, and Scotty drives home at night. We pass a variant of this scene every day. I just want to take this opportunity to acknowledge aloud (so to speak) that I am really, really lucky to live where I now live. Things like this actually make my commute pretty special. Now, if only I could find time during the day for Flickr. ;)
