The last of my Craigendoran pier series from November last year. Multiple long exposures at sunset with a clear sky produced great results. This final image the clouds starting to turn red. I hope everyone has a good week. I appreciate any favourites and comments.

Was at a loose end last Sunday, I decided to drive over to the east coast to Arbroath. After a walk around the harbour late afternoon I settled on the end of the pier, with an aim to take a long exposure of this breaker light. Have a great weekend.

Long exposure sunset taken a few days ago with my new firecrest 13 stop filter. I appreciate any favs and comments. Have a great weekend.

Captured at the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, this frame freezes a bee mid-flight, moments before touching a delicate white bloom. Soft light, shallow depth, and gentle motion convey nature’s quiet precision—pollination as poetry—where patience, balance, and timing briefly align in a single, fleeting instant within the garden’s living seasonal rhythm.

always my favorite .

🇬🇧 Hidden in the heart of Pistoia, this elevated walkway links two centuries of domestic life with grace. A quiet dialogue between stone, iron, and light — in a place where time feels suspended.

🇫🇷 Nichée au cœur de Pistoia, cette passerelle suspendue relie avec grâce deux pans de vie urbaine. Dialogue silencieux entre pierre, fer forgé et lumière — dans un lieu où le temps semble s’arrêter.

🇬🇧 A visual maze of architecture, reflections, and chromatic rhythms. In the heart of the Italian coast, mirrors dissect the city into fragments, revealing both symmetry and distortion. Between geometry and urban poetry, a game of perception begins.

🇫🇷 Un labyrinthe visuel d’architecture, de reflets et de rythmes chromatiques. Au cœur du littoral italien, les miroirs fragmentent la ville, entre symétrie et déformation. Entre géométrie et poésie urbaine, le jeu des perceptions s’installe.

The sheer drama of sunset over the mountains visible from Sarfaranga Cold Desert in Skardu. The light only catches the very highest peaks, painting them gold.

We found each other in ugly places. The kind that strip you down and show you who’s real. Somewhere in all that darkness, I found my very much loved friend Purr.

We got close fast, close like we’d already done the hard parts somewhere else. It’s strange knowing our lives missed each other for so long. Maybe if they hadn’t, this wouldn’t be what it is. Some bonds need the damage first.

The truth always comes out. When it does, the light doesn’t soften anything, it clarifies it. Purr wasn’t a coincidence. She belongs here, in my life, in my family, like it was always written that way.

She’s solid, kind and feircly outspoken. And still the easiest person to bully with love.

Zwischen den Häuserschluchten von Frankfurt

🇬🇧 In the solemn geometry of the Piazza del Campo, three officers hold a silent conversation. Their stance, uniforms, and the spatial rhythm between them echo power and protocol — while the patrol car and motorcycle in the background reinforce the symmetry of authority. A moment of visual discipline and quiet command, frozen in black and white.

🇫🇷 Sur la place solennelle du Campo, trois officiers échangent dans un silence mesuré. Leurs postures, leurs uniformes et les lignes du pavé dessinent une chorégraphie d’ordre et de hiérarchie — pendant qu’en arrière-plan, moto et voiture complètent ce tableau symétrique de l’autorité. Une scène figée de discipline visuelle et de pouvoir tranquille.

🇮🇹 Nella geometria solenne di Piazza del Campo, tre ufficiali discutono in silenzio. Le loro posture, le uniformi e lo spazio tra loro creano un ritmo visivo di potere e protocollo — mentre l’auto e la moto della polizia sullo sfondo rafforzano la simmetria dell’autorità. Un momento sospeso di disciplina e comando.

..........and will have to be until further notice. All around the world we are being told to social distance which means no travel for the foreseeable future. We were planning a tour of southern Germany again. We went there 7 years ago and had one of our most memorable holidays meeting a Flickr friend in Germany and one in Holland. We have visited Italy several times through meeting someone through Flickr. And I also visited a Flickr friend in Paris. I have had two Flickr friends from the US visit the New Forest, one from the north of England and another from Dublin but now we must be content with staying at home and only seeing far flung places on-line. Think how lucky we are that we have this wonderful community

🇬🇧 EN — A lone fisherman drifts across the calm Ligurian sea, his orange jacket the only spark in an otherwise hushed composition. The island watches in silence. Time slows. In this suspended hour, labour and solitude merge into a quiet ritual.

🇫🇷 FR — Un pêcheur solitaire glisse sur la mer Ligure, son imperméable orange comme seule touche vive dans cette composition feutrée. L’île en face veille, muette. Le temps ralentit. Dans cette heure suspendue, le labeur et la solitude ne font plus qu’un.

🇮🇹 IT — Un pescatore solitario scivola sul mare ligure, il suo giubbotto arancione unica scintilla in una scena ovattata. L’isola osserva, immobile. Il tempo rallenta. In quest’ora sospesa, il lavoro e la solitudine si fondono in un rito silenzioso.

🇬🇧 Between two columns, a man sits alone, selling his miniature wares in the soft shadows of the arcade. No crowd, no rush—just a posture of waiting, dignified and still. In the geometry of stone and silence, his presence becomes monumental.

🇫🇷 Entre deux colonnes, un homme assis vend ses miniatures dans l’ombre douce de l’arcade. Pas de foule, pas d’agitation — juste l’attente, dans une posture digne et silencieuse. Dans la géométrie du granit et du silence, sa présence devient monument.

🇮🇹 Tra due colonne, un uomo siede in solitudine, vendendo piccole miniature all’ombra dell’arcata. Nessuna folla, nessuna fretta — solo l’attesa, silenziosa e fiera. Tra le pietre e la calma, la sua figura diventa quasi scultorea.

Nice drive over to the east coast of Scotland today to visit Belhaven bridge. I mistimed my set up as high tide had passed not long before my arrival, meaning I missed the chance to isolate the bridge with water. Still happy with the shot and as they say a sunrise lifts any photo!

The crabs can be found from Massachusetts, U.S. to areas in Argentina. They are common in shallow water on sand in ocean beaches, but can be found in depths up to two hundred feet (60m) deep. The Speckled swimming crab eats primarily detritus, but have also been recorded eating fish, mollusks, and other crustaceans. Sea turtles are the primary predator to Arenaeus cribrarius.

🇬🇧 A quiet room wrapped in amber light.

The window filters the day into fragments,

each reflection caught between shadow and memory.

Silence is not absence — it’s the shape of light slowing down.

🇫🇷 Une pièce silencieuse enveloppée de lumière ambrée.

La fenêtre filtre le jour en fragments,

chaque reflet suspendu entre ombre et mémoire.

Le silence n’est pas l’absence — c’est la forme que prend la lumière lorsqu’elle ralentit.

🇬🇧 Two windows, one closed, one barred.

Between them, the wall breathes —

a cracked rhythm where light becomes a visitor,

brief and uncertain, like a thought that almost fades.

🇫🇷 Deux fenêtres, l’une close, l’autre grillagée.

Entre elles, le mur respire —

un rythme fissuré où la lumière devient visiteuse,

brève et incertaine, comme une pensée qui s’efface presque.

🇬🇧 In this Tuscan alley, silence walks ahead of the sun.

The slow step of an anonymous figure slips between warm walls and flowered names. “Il Girasole” — the sunflower — offers a subtle nod to light, just a word at eye level.

A simple, nearly forgotten scene, yet precious — like a sunbeam in shadow.

🇫🇷 Dans cette ruelle toscane, le silence précède le soleil.

Le pas lent d’une silhouette anonyme glisse entre les murs chauds et les noms fleuris. Il Girasole, discret clin d’œil à la lumière, n’est plus qu’un mot à hauteur de regard.

Une scène simple, presque oubliée, mais précieuse — comme un rayon dans l’ombre.

🇬🇧 A marble bust behind dusty glass.

Its gaze locked in time, chained by stillness, watching a world it can never touch.

A quiet moment suspended between stone and sky.

Home is not always a shelter – sometimes it’s a stage, or a cage.

Their silence is not emptiness. It’s memory.
