Two Scottish Highlanders emerge from the mist on a beautiful September morning. Framed by the trees in the heather fields of Holland. It was such a special moment. Happy to take a step to the left and let them pass.
Many thanks for your comments and favs, really appreciated.

Sometimes, highly corrected modern lenses can be far too sharp when emphasizing mood rather than detail. The interest in cameras with low optical performance such as the Holga or pinhole cameras shows this. I'm interested in when sharpness is essential, when less important and when sharpness can be annoying. The above image was taken using a 4.5x6 cm Ikonta with a Novar triplet lens at wide open aperture. Compared to the Holga, this has the advantage that I can set the aperture and exposure time more variably, and compared to a pinhole camera I can take photos handheld, which also increases flexibility. At open aperture, Novars render the center of the image moderately sharp, while the edges and corners slip into blur and also darken. This draws the viewer's eye to the center of the image. Also, the low resolution can emphasize coarse structures or color patterns rather than tiny details, such as the bark or individual leaves of trees. This makes the images pictorial, painterly or impressionistic. Possibly, technical imperfection can be used creatively - at least that's my hope.
Committed to Lomography Babylon using a Leica M3 and 50 mm Summicron dual-range lens. Developed using Ars-Imago R9 (rodinal) 1:99 in a semi-stand process for 80 minutes and scanned with an Epson V850 using Silverfast. Positive conversion and contrast done with Negative Lab Pro.
A quiet bench in the heart of an orange-soaked forest, surrounded by the last breath of autumn. The empty seat becomes a small story on its own, holding the stillness of the season and the fading warmth of the leaves. A cinematic moment captured in nature’s most nostalgic chapter.
This is a Deep Dream enhanced AI painting of one of my photos. I used Photoshop to tweak it a lot color-wise and I added the light beams also.

Captured in Roddlesworth Woods, this image explores the quiet pull of a forest path as it disappears into a tunnel of trees. The composition uses the natural curve of the woodland track and the vertical rhythm of the trunks to guide the viewer forward, creating a sense of calm movement and discovery.
Soft patches of sunlight break through the canopy, illuminating the leaf-covered ground and adding warmth to the deep greens and earthy browns of the scene. The image feels both peaceful and immersive, celebrating the timeless character of ancient woodland and the restorative atmosphere of walking through nature.

The history of Van Cortlandt Park is a mystery. This view is along the poorly marked and seldom recognized Northwest Forest Loop trail.
It must have went somewhere at one time. Maybe it was once clearcut and at the top of the steps was an overlook picnic area. Perhaps, before the Henry Hudson Parkway cut through the park these steps led to the beautiful pond that is now closed to the public, known to local kids as Charlie's Hole and can only be seen by drivers on the loop from Mosholu Parkway to either the Henry Hudson or the Saw Mill Parkway.
I don't know and can't find out the origins of these steps but I love this path and know these steps were not constructed for a nature walk.
A wonderful morning in the forest with autumn light and a little fog creating sunbeams.

A slightly customized viking minifigure based on Jane Foster’s Thor. For this shot I prefered a smaller blue cape instead of the original red one 😅
I swapped the helmet, added a custom armored shield as well as an edited metal polished looking hammer.
Native to north temperate and boreal North America, Jewelweed or Spotted Touch-me-nots has a long history of use in indigenous medicine. When applied topically, the sap from stem and leaves is said to relieve itching and pain from a variety of ailments, including hives, poison ivy, stinging nettles, and other skin sores and irritations.

Sächsische Schweiz - ganz tief hinten: auf einsamsten Pfaden unterwegs von Hinterhermsdorf zum Luchsstein an der sächsisch-böhmischen Grenze. Während der 5 1/2-stündigen Wanderung liefen mir ganze 3 Leute über den Weg...
Der Große Ziegengrund gehört zu den verlorenen Wegen im Elbsandstein, die der Kernzonenausweisung im Nationalpark Sächsische Schweiz zum Opfer gefallen sind. Früher verlief hier von der Kirnitzsch über den Luchstein bis zum Altarstein ein Wanderweg. Über den Stimmersdorfer Steig ging es auf der böhmischen Seite sogar weiter bis in den Großen Zschand. Heute ist im Großen Ziegengrund nur ein kleiner Wegeabschnitt am Luchsstein legal zu erwandern.
Das Foto entstand 2017 zu einer Zeit, als der Wald im Ziegengrund noch intakt war. Mittlerweile hat der Borkenkäfer auch hier weite Teile des Baumbestandes geschädigt und vernichtet.
