Embracing the beauty of our planet's natural jewels! Mountains, home to 15% of the world's population and half of its biodiversity hotspots, face threats like climate change, overexploitation, and contamination.
These challenges impact us all — from melting glaciers affecting freshwater supplies to rural mountain communities facing food insecurity. On International Mountain Day 2023, let's unite to restore mountain ecosystems.
Did you know mountains contribute to our food diversity? Six crucial plant species, including maize and apples, originated in these majestic landscapes. Yet, pollution, even reaching the heights of Mt. Everest, poses a grave danger.
Let's reduce our carbon footprint, spread awareness, and advocate for nature-based solutions. Join the cause and safeguard our natural treasures! #RestoreMountains #InternationalMountainDay2023

This is a bird in the wild that had not yet fledged. He was a rescue of sorts - read more about it here: A Memory of the Fallen One
While this bird and I had a mutual understanding at the time, I cannot help thinking he is looking at me like he can't believe I would be so stupid as to enter the danger zone of his only defense.

Another great day out with my old mate JP. A little trip to Linton again as the weather was not so favourable. Come on summer everyone is waiting!!!
Wenn zwei Flüsse sich treffen
Wenn der von links einmündende Fluss Chemnitz genau wie die Stadt benannt wurde, hat der Fluss in einem gewissen Zeitraum dann auch Karl-Marx-Stadt geheißen?😅
In the recent weeks/months I've been unsuccessfully wrestling to keep a presence in the Flickr community.
If on one side I have less and less time for myself, on the other I have been struggling with my own photography: I imagine I am going through what afflicted many other photographers before me: Having started many years ago with film, I was at one time seduced by digital and later disappointed by the said medium. Yet, aiming at the best from both worlds, I returned to medium format film; somehow I cannot bring myself to scan those minute 35mm negatives.
Additionally, I decided to try colour photography, from which I have long shunned, owing to my partial colour blindness to red.
This picture is one study I have recently made on sharpness in photography: sharp or not so sharp, that is the question. My eyes tell me that sharpness adds a lot to a photograph, my heart that it adds too much.
The above are two different edits of the same digital photograph made with a Leica M10 Monochrome and the Summilux 1.4/50 Asph. Lens. While the left version was edited to enhance contrast and sharpness, the right one was edited to soften both.
Your comments and views on this matter will be highly appreciated, thank you.

P.S.
Although I will reply to each comment, I would like to thank here all who took much of their time to share with me their thoughts on this subject.
A friend and colleague photographer here on Flicker once said that medium format film is my "at home", and I think he is quite right.
Although I have taken a lot of 35mm photos in the very early 90s, from 92 onwards I used mostly medium format film. As the gear got a bit too heavy for my liking I moved to the 35mm format but was never entirely happy with the results. Getting a good scan with a "normal" scanner is pretty difficult.
I tried my hand at digital photography and was initially fascinated by the sharp resolution and the vivid colours, but with time the images started to feel too aggressive, and recently I tried my hand again at medium format film.
This test was to prove myself that I could get a "film-like" soft resolution, soft contrast image from a very sharp, very contrasted file. Curiously, this does not satisfy me for, what is the point in having ultra-sharp gear if you prefer softer images.
And so, my heart brought me back home to medium format film photography. I'll occasionally do some digital photography too, but for as long as I can, medium format will be my main line.
And maybe time will bring me back again to digital, one never knows....
Thank you all again, for your great input
