Picture taken along the North Sea coast at Cadzand-Bad in The Netherlands ( Zeeuws - Vlaanderen ).
Every sunset is different and every time I am amazed at how beautiful and varied these are. This image, and especially the left side of the photo, gave me the impression of having made an image of almost another planet.
Too many fantasies? Could be, but Mother Nature makes them almost tangible.
Thank you so much buddy, it's always a pleasure to take photos with you! Watch out for Edu's amazing version!
"A person who thinks all the time
Has nothing to think about except thoughts
So, he loses touch with reality
And lives in a world of illusions
By thoughts, I mean specifically, chatter in the skull
Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words
Of reckoning and calculating
I'm not saying that thinking is bad
Like everything else, It's useful in moderation
A good servant, but a bad master
And all so-called civilized peoples
Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive
Because, through excessive thinking
They have lost touch with reality
That's to say
We confuse signs
With the real world
This is the beginning of meditation
Most of us would have
Rather money than tangible wealth
And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed
And to read about it the next day in the newspaper
Is oddly more fun for us than the original event
This is a disaster
For as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs
We are destroying nature
We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses
Time to wake up
What is reality?
Obviously no one can say
Because it isn't words
It isn't material, that's just an idea
Reality is
The point cannot be explained in words
I'm not trying to put you down
It's an expression of you as you are
One must live
We need to survive, to go on
We must go on!"

I'm channeling David Letterman - "my next guest needs no introduction."
Behind the impressive output and staggering range, there's someone humble and understated. Funny. Candid and unaffected. That great reminder of the humanity behind everything, at its most tangible. Someone who brought ease and humor to a moment that might have otherwise been overwhelming. Someone who left a lasting impression and an fond memory.
Your Pandaness - thank you for indulging me and accommodating me. Thank you for your time and your patience. Of the many iterations I know you could be, it was a true pleasure capturing you - simply you.
this is one of those memories that I could live in
one that will shine in my mind
and I know real life will start again in the morning
but, at least for now, we have tonight
and I finally know that you'll be there tomorrow
I took this image last year for a photography challenge and I found it is appropriate to communicate what an old paper book would feel nowadays in a human way due the increase in popularity of digital reading.
In the super digital era, e-books and other digital contents are gaining high popularity. Though some people predict that with the evolution of e-books, traditional paper books have lost their importance. While there are strong opinions that digital books cannot replace printed books. At the same time, some oppose that e-books do not deliver the same physicality and tangibility as the printed books can do. Furthermore, the feeling of owning a book is quite different from visiting the online library. The concentration level of the reader and better understanding of the characters is a big part of reading a printed book.
At present, in the 21st century, technological blessings like- the internet, smart boards, tablets, and e-readers are once more redesigning our reading and learning habits entirely, and, readers can have access to a vast variety of books in an online library in a click. Digital facilities are directing the ways we read and purchase books.
So, there is question, are paper books really disappearing soon?
Yamada Ryokan (山田旅館) is a Japanese inn located in Otari Hotsprings (小谷温泉) on an isolated mountainside overlooking the Nakaya-gawa river.
Yamada Ryokan is the only accommodation currently operating in the hotsprings. Its main building was constructed in the Edo period (江戸時代, 1603 - 1868) probably in 19th century, and new buildings were added subsequently reflecting the changes in Japanese architectural styles. Six architectures in the site are registered to the Agency of Cultural Affairs (文化庁) as a Registered Tangible Cultural Heritage (登録有形文化財).
The house in the right is a Meiji era (明治時代, 1686-1912) construction. Another house in the front left is the main building that is an Edo period construction.
"There is a tangible darkness, so thick on my finger tips. Lick them clean and meet your maker. There is no god in heaven or hell so sweet as my dreams."

Break out all the mechanical
Step right up to the freaky and tangible
Hands uncuffed, take the leash on this animal
If it’s getting hyphy hit me with a night stick
Slip right into your stripper shoes
Roll the dice, I got snake eyes and déjà vu
Poppin off, fire melted with bally-hoo?
Tune in (tune in)
Turn on (turn on)
Drop out
Going down the rabbit hole
Get away from all we know
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Going down the rabbit hole
Even hoes and gigolos
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Quick slow high or low
You’re never gonna know for sure
See in stereo
Down the rabbit hole
Catnip and honey, teatime and all over town
(all over town, all over town)
houses of candy, build ‘em up and then burn them down
(burn em down, just burn em down)
it melts in your face and not in your arm?
It starts in the bass and it ends in the crystal ball
Going down the rabbit hole
Get away from all we know
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Going down the rabbit hole
Even hoes and gigolos
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Disco rodeo
My kaleidoscope
Cleopatra knows
What's down the rabbit hole
Going down the rabbit hole
Get away from all we know
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Going down the rabbit hole
Even hoes and gigolos
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Quick slow high or low
You’re never gonna know for sure
See in stereo

The past is tangible in Flanders. Proud bell towers bear witness to a time when cities were still independent powers. Churches and cathedrals are adorned with impressive art collections that attract tourists from all over the world. You can walk through winding streets of the six art cities and completely forget the present.
Antwerpen, Brugge, Brussel, Gent, Leuven and Mechelen proudly bear the title of Flemish art city. Many other Flemish cities have a rich patrimony: Lier is proud of its Zimmer Tower and charming city centre, Hasselt cherishes its traditions in the Genever Museum, and Tongeren, the oldest city in Flanders, interactively divulges our far past in the Gallo-Roman Museum.
In 2014 it will be exactly 100 years since World War I broke out. Dreadful battles were fought in the Westhoek, an area in the province of West Flanders. The names Passendale and Ieper are still engraved in the memories of the English, French, Germans and Belgians. Tourism in the Westhoek is often a trip filled with emotion. A penetrating image of daily life and dying on the front is presented in the museum In Flanders Fields, located in Ieper. The Last Post has been sounded at the Menin Gate in Ieper every night at 8 p.m. since 24 July 1927. The gate is a memorial to the numerous Commonwealth soldiers that died and whose bodies were never recovered.
This is Dordrecht's least tangible but perhaps most important monument. It is built entirely of Light, Air and Water. Here you experience the city on an island. In a grand gesture, the rivers Merwede, Noord and Oude Maas come together at the
Drierivierenpunt.
Poets, writers and painters came specially to this spot, and lost themselves in elation at the vast sight. They looked at a natural spectacle, praying for the famous Dutch light.
Foreign artists went in search of this dream scenery in the seventeenth-century city of the famous painter Aelbert Cuyp.
A very good 2025.

Photographing gum trees and showcasing their natural beauty can be rewarding. Here are some tips to help you capture stunning shots:
Photographing Gum Trees
Lighting: Early morning or late afternoon provides the best natural light. The golden hour adds a warm glow to the scene, highlighting the textures and colors of the bark.
Angles and Composition: Experiment with different angles. Shooting from a low angle can emphasize the height and grandeur of the trees. Including the surrounding landscape can provide context and contrast.
Focus on Details: Close-up shots of the bark, leaves, and branches can highlight the unique textures and patterns of gum trees. Look for interesting shapes and colors.
Weather Conditions: Cloudy days can provide soft, diffused light, reducing harsh shadows. On sunny days, the interplay of light and shadow can create dramatic effects.
Equipment: A wide-angle lens can capture the full height and canopy of the trees, while a macro lens is great for detailed shots of the bark and leaves.
Showcasing Your Photos
Editing: Use photo editing software to enhance colors, contrast, and sharpness. Be careful not to overdo it—aim for a natural look.
Presentation: Consider printing your photos and displaying them in frames. This adds a tangible element to your work.
Online Sharing: Share your photos on social media platforms or photography forums. Engage with other photographers to get feedback and improve your skills.
Portfolio: Create an online portfolio to showcase your best work. This can be a personal website or a dedicated account on a photo-sharing site.
Photographing nature requires patience and a keen eye for detail. Take your time to explore different perspectives and enjoy the process. 🌳
It's a very different world up above on those granite peaks. Somehow that world seemed to be connected in a tangible way to the aspen forest below it, though, here.

So i have it photographed again.
Das Lighthouse steht für eine visionäre, innovative und weltweit einzigartige Wohnform, ein Wohnerlebnis in der Höhe mit 360° Panorama-Aussicht. Um dies erlebbar zu machen, wurde in besonderer Lage auf der Spitze des Baakenhöfts in der Hamburger HafenCity der Prototyp „Lighthouse Zero“ als Präsentationsobjekt mit vollständiger Inneneinrichtung errichtet. Zentrales Element des Lighthouse ist ein über 20 Meter hoher Turm, auf dem die Wohnebene ruht. Von hier aus bietet sich dem Bewohner eine einzigartige Aussicht in alle Himmelsrichtungen. Ein gläserner Aufzug und eine im Betonschaft versteckte Treppe erschließen die Wohnebene.
Der Wohnraum lässt sich um den Kern herum vollkommen frei gestalten: Ob Loft-artig offen oder mit einzelnen Räumen, das neuartige Wohnkonzept bietet in jedem Bereich einen hohen Grad an Individualisierung. Auf dem Dach befindet sich der 150 Quadratmeter große Dachgarten mit Holzdeck eingefasst von einer in die Dachflächen eingelassenen 70 Quadratmeter großen Photovoltaikanlage. Die besondere Architektur einer 300 Quadratmeter großen Wohnplattform auf einem Schaft von nur drei Metern Durchmesser bietet nicht nur eine phänomenale Aussicht und ein großzügiges Platzangebot, sondern sorgt auch für minimalen Grundflächenbedarf und dadurch für geringste Flächenversiegelung. So wird der Bau auch in schwierigem Gelände wie im oder am Wasser, in hochwassergefährdeten Gebieten oder in ausgeprägten Hanglagen, wo eine Erschließung durch klassische Bebauung nicht denkbar ist, möglich.
The Lighthouse stands for a visionary, innovative and globally unique form of living, a living experience on high with a 360 ° panoramic view. In order to make this tangible, the prototype “Lighthouse Zero” was built as a presentation object with complete interior fittings in a special location on the tip of Baakenhöft in Hamburg's HafenCity. The central element of the lighthouse is a tower over 20 meters high on which the living area rests. From here, the resident has a unique view in all directions. A glass elevator and a staircase hidden in the concrete shaft open up the living area.
The living space can be designed completely freely around the core: whether loft-like open or with individual rooms, the new living concept offers a high degree of individualization in every area. On the roof is the 150 square meter roof garden with a wooden deck framed by a 70 square meter photovoltaic system embedded in the roof area. The special architecture of a 300 square meter living platform on a shaft only three meters in diameter offers not only a phenomenal view and a generous amount of space, but also ensures minimal floor space requirements and thus minimal surface sealing. In this way, construction is also possible in difficult terrain such as in or on the water, in flood-prone areas or on pronounced slopes where development through classic development is not conceivable.

One thing is clear and tangible to me in a way that it seldom has been: the world is full of God. From every pore, God rushes out to us, as it were. But we’re often blind. We remain stuck in the good times and the bad times and don’t experience them right up to the point where the spring flows from God.…
In everything, God wants to celebrate encounter and asks for the prayerful response of surrender. The trick and the duty is only this: to develop a lasting awareness and a lasting attitude out of these insights and graces—or rather, to allow them to develop. Then life becomes free, in that freedom which we have often looked for.
-To Luise Oestreicher, November 17, 1944; cited in Ultimate Price: Testimonies of Christians Who Resisted the Third Reich, selected by Annemarie S. Kidder (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis, 2012), 65–66.

As I turned, the world around me altered abruptly; vehicles, buildings and the people that operated and maintained them became transparent, and somehow time itself seemed to speed up. The ghostly remains of once tangible people flittered before my eyes, leaving behind them faint echoes that slowly faded into nothingness. That which was corporeal now appeared as if rendered in spirit. I thought at once of the charlatan, Crowley, and his Magick, but quickly dismissed the notion that such a man could bear any relationship with the truth now being revealed before my eyes: that reality was not as it seemed.
Turning further, my eyes alighted on the man. His left arm, raised in an almost defensive posture, was encased in some kind of satanic machine. I could see little wisps of steam rising from the elbow joint and a subtle orange glow that hinted at the incredible furnace that must lurk somewhere within. Only God knows what strange powers might be required to build such a device; as advanced as our science was at that time, it seemed to me inadequate for such artifice. I had, however, no doubt that this machine was the cause of my abstraction from the material plane and that this man must be confronted, before all that we held dear became lost.
I composed myself, stood tall, and approached the man.
“Hello,” he said. “My name’s Barry.”
Twelve hand-held exposures representing thirty seconds of March 26th, 2019. Shot at the Victorian Brickworks Museum, Bursledon.
NB. You’ll no doubt be pleased to learn that Barry holds no sinister plans concerning the ultimate fate of the universe; he is, in fact, a cake designer.
Usual caveats etc.
"If you want to express yourself you must present something tangible. But after a while this has only the function of a historic document. Objects aren't very important any more. I want to get to the origin of matter, to the thought behind it." Joseph Beuys, 1969. Ignore the Exif data, this shot was done with the Helios 44M-7 wide-open.

In no other act does man experience so often the disparity between the desire for expression and the means of expression as in prayer. The inadequacy of the means at our disposal appears so tangible, so tragic, that one feels it a grace to be able to give oneself up to music, to a tone, to a song, to a chant. The wave of a song carries the soul to heights which utterable meanings can never reach. Such abandonment is no escape, nor an act of being unfaithful to the mind. For the world of unutterable meanings is the nursery of the soul, the cradle of all our ideas. It is not an escape but a return to one’s origins.
What the word can no longer yield, man achieves through the fullness of his powerlessness. The deeper the need in which one is placed through this powerlessness, the more does man reveal himself in his essence, and himself becomes expression. Prayer is more than communication, and man is more than the word. Should we feel ashamed by our inability to utter what we bear in our hearts? God loves what is left over at the bottom of the heart and cannot be expressed in words…. The unutterable surplus of what we feel, the sentiments that we are unable to put into words are our payment in kind to God.

Inside the Evoluon museum, shot towards the structuralist reinforced concrete skeleton of the roof. The building, which looks like a UFO or flying saucer, was built as a showcase for technological progress, particularly those in which the originally Eindhoven-based company Philips was involved. It was designed by Louis Kalff and Leo de Bever and transferred to the municipality of Eindhoven in 1966 on Philips' 75th anniversary.
The building was an educational technology museum from 1966 to 1989 and attracted many visitors until the 1970s. This was partly because they were allowed to experiment and operate the showcased models themselves. This was new then and particularly attractive to schoolchildren and other young people. Many schools traditionally organised an 'Evoluon trip' once a year.
In 2022, the Evoluon reopened as a museum under the leadership of the Next Nature Foundation. This organisation focuses on researching the impact of technology on our lives and the planet. Next Nature makes future scenarios tangible for a wide audience in the Evoluon through exhibitions and educational programmes for schools and companies.
This is number 16 of the Eindhoven abum.

During the winter months in the Po Valley , the fog is a part of the landscape, cold, dump, almost tangible.
Fog is moisture in the nostrils, is a limited landscapes. You feel isolated, almost blinded by the white. The gaze is limited and the fog tracks the boundaries.
There are places you always pass by, common places that turn invisible, canceled by the chaos of buildings and constructions.
The fog, greedy of space, grants you the crumbs of what encompasses, defines the boundaries forcibly, giving back, sarcastically, the most common details.
These details turn unique, eye-catching, aesthetically ready for photographic consecration.
The streets, the buildings and the fields are transformed into landscapes that you can only imagine. A pole, the wires of the light, a gasoline station is all that you can see.
They are the boundaries the fog gives you.”
CONFINI
"La nebbia in pianura padana, nei mesi invernali, è parte integrante del paesaggio, fredda, umida, quasi tangibile.
La nebbia è il freddo, l'umidità nelle narici, lo sguardo che fatica, il paesaggio che si chiude per isolare e delimitare lo sguardo, tracciare i Confini.
Ci sono luoghi davanti ai quali si passa spesso, luoghi talmente presenti da diventare anonimi immersi come sono nel caos dei fitti fabbricati dalla pianura.
La nebbia ne riscatta il loro valore; isolati dal resto del paesaggio, assurgono a linee di confine oltre le quali tutto è celato, misterioso: il paesaggio padano diventa metafisico, non più fisico. Lo senti, lo percepisci ma non lo vedi.
La nebbia è avida di spazio. Ti concede briciole di quello che ingloba, delimita forzatamente i confini, valorizza i dettagli, concedendoti sarcasticamente quelli che più vendono trascurati.
Li rende unici, accattivanti, esteticamente pronti alla consacrazione fotografica.
Le strade, gli edifici e i campi si trasformano in paesaggi che puoi solo immaginare. Un palo, i fili della luce, una stazione della benzina è tutto quello che ti viene concesso. Sono i confini forzati che la nebbia, avida, ti restituisce."

In a way, the whole tangible universe itself is a vast residue, a skeleton of countless lives that have germinated in it and have left it, leaving behind them only a trifling, infinitesimal part of their riches

Same place as the shot published a few days ago, but here looking the opposite way. IMO even better than the other view that was Explored on 18-August. Perhaps it's just my processing, slowly getting a better grip on handling the cold temperature colours, here it's more tangible that Antarctica is closer than the tropical waters of the Andaman Sea in Thailand ;)

How do you think?

This room, at Dachau Concentration camp, had a tangibly bad feeling permeating it. It was used to store bodies before being cremated in the ovens next door.
Photographs taken after the liberation by US soldiers shows it piled high with bodies. A really terrible, terrible place.
For an account of my week in Bavaria. including my visit to Dachau:
