Waterscape 4 of 100 for 2025.
This massive rock sits proudly in the middle of Deadman's Beach. I've often wondered how it ended up there—what geological forces shaped its journey?
Today, as I looked at the photo, it struck me: the rock resembles a giant bao bun buried in the sand. Naturally, this led me down a rabbit hole exploring the history of bao buns. Originating in Northern China, bao dates back to the Three Kingdoms period in the 3rd century, with some evidence pointing as far back as 400 BC.
And then it all made sense: giant, rock-eating aliens with a penchant for Chinese cuisine must have dropped this here during one of their visits in ancient times. Mystery solved. You're welcome!
Thank you all for the kind likes and comments—they’re always deeply appreciated!
P.S. Speaking of buns, if you’ve got 3 minutes, I recommend this touching animation about motherhood and buns:
”Target neutralized, Sir… returning to base.”
“Did you break the glasses again, 532?”
“... yes, Sir…”
“For the love of-”

I went to look for the chamois again today, and although they showed up they didn’t seem pleased that I had brought my mom along... they made a big show of giving warning calls and sprinting towards cover while not appearing particularly nervous. (They do remind me a bit of cats.) As I didn’t manage to capture their show very well I took a few flower shots instead...
A neighbor of mine keeps this bike in front of her fence all year. Some years she puts a basket of flowers on the front fender and sometimes not. Even without the basket it was looking especially good this year.

For weeks the weather has been so bad and rainy, that the government has granted umbrellas to hang up in every city ...lol ok maybe not ... just kidding...lol
میان مغازلهی اتش و بادم
تک شاخ افسانهای
شب پشت شب
بافتهی گیسوی شفق
کدامین نقش را برمیگزینی
In repose between fire and the wind
I stand
What play
You pick
In a kiss
Cloud to the summit of a wave
You role
For you I would love to go up up there, but they would not allow me to bring the Nikon, they said I had to have both hands free to operate the cables that held me to the balloon for not ending on the rocks
***************************************************************************
Per voi sarei andato anche lassù, ma non mi lasciavano portare la Nikon, dicevano che dovevo avere tutte due le mani libere per azionare i cavi che mi reggevano al pallone se non volevo finire sulle rocce
Così mi sono limitato a fotografare, perché sono certo vi sarebbe spiaciuto sapere che ero finito sugli scogli.... o no?
Gerbera L. is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae. It was named in honour of German botanist and medical doctor Traugott Gerber who travelled extensively in Russia and was a friend of Carl Linnaeus.

(Lyrics)
What do I stand for? Am I left am I right?
Am I up and down? Am I east am I west?
Do I wear the crown? Is my creed worth dying for?
What do I live for? Can you tell on my face,
What my heart beats for? Do the words that I speak,
Show it to the core? Does my glow outshine the stars?
Can you see my coat of arms?

Sorry for the repost! This photo fell into the Flickr Bermuda Triangle!
Thanks for the visits folks. I really appreciate them very much. I enjoy the inspiration that many of your streams have brought me and continue to bring.
Have a blessed weekend and keep shooting !
Past which blue moon
Will grow in this field
A stalk
And scatter in the wind
The moans of the earth?
Poetry of Mohammad Mokhtari
Translated from Persian
Looking for a quiet place, i've been transported here !!
