Ignoring lockdown and global pandemics, it should actually be quite easy to capture sunrise almost every morning during winter months. Except, it is freezing and really hard to leave the comfort of your warm bed. However, once the clocks turn back in March (Spring), there is a small window of time when it is still possible to get to London early enough (using public transport) to capture the sunrise. That time is now. And I finally managed to get up early enough to do it (4.30am). And it is worth it. Every time. Even if there isn't a dramatic pink sunrise (like this morning), the calmness, the beauty, the early morning bird songs... It is all gorgeous. It has been so long since i have done this - I had forgotten how rewarding it can be. So much, not even the cold of winter is an excuse... just dress accordingly.
I hope you are keeping safe and warm wherever you are.
As another lockdown starts in England, this is a shot I took last spring of an African Daisy during the first lockdown in Spring.
I'm rather taken to using this little pendant for Macro Monday themes.
This picture is an interpretation of a scene from the second episode of a sweet Netflix series "Emily in Paris" and a link to the song "Summer in Paris" by Bea Parks www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjvdpl9MdIo from the first episode. I watched the series last year while stuck at home and feeling nostalgic for a time we were able to travel.
Im Lockdown der Corona-Epidemie. Die Natur war der einzige Platz, an dem man ohne Probleme sein konnte und durfte. Natürlich nicht in Gruppen. Die Impfungen waren noch nicht vorhanden.
Erster LOCKDOWN: 22.März. bis 4.Mai 2020
Irgendwie scheint die Kröte auch unter dem Lockdown zu leiden. ;)
Capital City Trail, North Fitzroy, Victoria
We are currently in lockdown here in Melbourne due to a resurgence of COVID-19. We are allowed an hour out of home for exercise each day and quite a few (such as myself) are taking the opportunity to explore the byways of our city such as the Capital City Trail which is a shared pathway going through some of our parks and along some of our waterways, the Yarra River in particular. I didn't see many cyclists when I went out the other day but plenty of pedestrians. In this picture, we are near Rushall Station in North Fitzroy.
The female House Sparrows in my garden seem to get on very well and as a rule do not often fight These two males seem to think it is their duty every time they see each other to have a very loud and public battle . Showing off in front of the girls I suspect !
House Sparrow are still a common bird in Uk in gardens parks and around farms . They feed on grain buds and scraps . They are listed as a red list species which means they at serious risk. In the last 15 years the House Sparrow population in London has dropped by almost 70% and they are now completely absent from many city centers
A gate to nowhere.

This the side door, I was drawn by the diagonal joinery and detail in the door as well as the visual metaphor for our potential second lockdown.
Happy days!

When I walk through the streets with my camera I usually have no goal. The people and what happens to me on the way, that is my goal.
For a long time now I have been out and about with my camera to take street photography.
And sometimes you have magical encounters.
I met Steven in a station in Maastricht. He is 24 years old and lives on a farm in Putten (all the way in the east). He works in the film industry as a freelancer. He has started playing the piano during the lockdown because he needed something to take his mind off things, when you're in lockdown on a farm with lots of nature around you it can get really lonely and it turned out to be one of his talents. He tried to play "the river flows into you", I don't know the original artist anymore but his favorite is Nuvole Bianchi from Ludovico Einaudi.
Thank you for the music Steve 🎈
Thought I'd start showing all the different types of birds that visit my garden starting with the humble robin sheltering from the sun under the canopy of a tree.
Torrey Pines Nature Preserve which is located on the Pacific Ocean in San Diego, CA. is open during the pandemic lockdown. Since it's only a few miles away, it provides a tranquil place to hike and enjoy nature. As I was leaving, the Red-Tailed hawk graced me with a fly by and some terrific acrobatic manuvers.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a peaceful, joyful, and safe holiday season.
At home self isolating, the park railings at the back of me made for a perfect self imprisonment foreground
Permitted activities each evening, going for a drive and walking. This evening we visited Shifnal, Shropshire where I had been told there were Poppy fields.
