Farmers in the Kazbegi region of Georgia lead a simple but hard life. The climate is harsh, with severe winters and short summers. The rocky soil and mountainous terrain make farming a challenge, so most farmers focus on livestock, especially sheep and cattle. They also grow cold-resistant crops such as potatoes and barley. The photo shows the ruins of stone huts, remnants of ancient shepherds’ shelters in the Kazbegi region. These simple structures, often built from local stone, provided shelter for herders as they herded their livestock in the vast mountain pastures. Their location in the rugged landscape, surrounded by imposing mountains, reflects the herders’ remote and self-sufficient lifestyle. In the summer, they moved their herds to higher grasslands, while these shelters served as temporary shelters from the cold and strong winds. Today, these ruins stand as silent witnesses to an age-old tradition that still lives on in the Kazbegi region, where herders and nomadic communities continue to tend their livestock in harmony with nature.

Boeren in de Kazbegi-regio in Georgië leiden een eenvoudig maar zwaar bestaan. Het klimaat is ruw, met strenge winters en korte zomers. Door de rotsachtige bodem en het bergachtige terrein is landbouw een uitdaging, waardoor de meeste boeren zich richten op veeteelt, met name schapen en koeien. Daarnaast verbouwen ze gewassen die bestand zijn tegen de kou, zoals aardappelen en gerst. De foto toont de ruïnes van stenen hutten, overblijfselen van oude herdersverblijven in de Kazbegi-regio. Deze eenvoudige bouwwerken, vaak opgetrokken uit lokaal gesteente, boden onderdak aan herders die hun vee hoedden in de uitgestrekte bergweiden. De ligging in het ruige landschap, omringd door imposante bergen, weerspiegelt de afgelegen en zelfvoorzienende levensstijl van de herders. In de zomer trokken zij met hun kuddes naar hoger gelegen graslanden, terwijl deze onderkomens dienden als tijdelijke schuilplaatsen tegen de kou en harde wind. Vandaag de dag zijn deze ruïnes stille getuigen van een eeuwenoude traditie die nog steeds voortleeft in de Kazbegi-regio, waar herders en nomadische gemeenschappen hun vee blijven hoeden in harmonie met de natuur.

under the harsh concrete ceiling of a parking garage in palma’s parque del mar, the glass-block wall gleamed like an odd modern artifact, throwing soft reflections onto the damp ground. the man stood there, casually leaning, hands in pockets, as if time was an easy thing to carry. maybe he was waiting for someone—his wife, lost in conversation somewhere, or a friend running late. there’s no tension in his posture, just a quiet patience. the stark black-and-white tones strip away distractions, leaving only the subtle interplay of human gesture and architecture, of waiting and stillness.
Fjallsárlón glacier, just next to Jökulsárlón is not so much about the lagoon, but the immensity and incredible shape of the glacier itself

Harsh sunlight behind the subject in the morning made getting proper exposure difficult so the final images are a bit grain

A harsh place (& harsh light) but the top of Mt Climie is so interesting. Anything taller than grass seems to struggle here. The views were amazing. (swapped to mono as an afterthought).
Yes, I'm being a little sarcastic, since the light was so great here mid-day. I passed and shot here several times last week, but this shot from roughly noon on Thursday turned out best. Clearly it's not just a sunrise or sunset spot!
Here's something completely different from me... over-the-top processing for-maximum-impact.

This was taken back in 2019 at the forest hide in Limavady - 2 Sparrowhawk siblings fighting over food.
Ive never posted it anywhere before because its not perfect but maybe its good enough. I can be a harsh self-critic some times!

I took this photo at the Wrocław airport shortly after the opening of the new terminal, hence the area around it still showed some signs of construction work.
The view outside the windows seemed to match the tense conversation between the couple.
