Thanks for looking !
Been on crunch mode in my RL work these past few days and i've been thinking how despite the mild complaints and all-nighters, I feel blessed to be able to do what I love. All the times i've struggled to find courage to follow this dream, and yet here I am, following the light that I knew would be there at the end of the tunnel. Still a long way to go, but I'll just keep following this light~

A different experience in every season: Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens are exquisite, tranquil and inspiring all year round. Different footpaths, cycle routes and horse trails will lead you – with or without the aid of a forest ranger – through the beauty of one of the Netherlands' most unique areas of nature. There are no less than 80 fens in this stunning green expanse – pretty impressive, right?
Four seasons
Whether it’s the frozen fairy-tale fens of the winter, the dynamics of nature coming to life in spring, the musical croaking of frogs in the summer, or the explosion of colours in the autumn: Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens are a feast for all the senses.
Spot kingfishers, deer and roe deer, or bear witness to the wide variety of insects and water creatures in the fens and ditches. And after an exhilarating day of activity or sport, head to one of the large terraces to enjoy the peace and quiet and a tasty snack, lunch or dinner.Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens Groot Speijck Visitor Centre has a great terrace, as does Boshuis Venkraai. And both are ideal places to relax and soak up the surroundings.
The old wall on Lingmoor Fell provides a great Lead-in line for the drama of the snow-capped Langdale Pikes.
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Tradition".
The New Years Eve tradition of 'Bleigießen' (molibdomancy/lead-pouring), is commonly found in certain parts of Europe and some other countries, if online sources are to be believed. Small metal figurines (in shapes of good luck symbols, bottles etc.) are molten in a special spoon over a candle and then poured into a bowl of water! The shapes which are created by that are then interpreted as signs/symbols for the coming year!
In my home country of Austria it‘s not something everybody does, but it seems to be common enough for these little metal figurines to be sold in grocery stores all around! If you stop to think about it, it‘s probably not the best idea ever to add molten metal and fumes into the mix of fireworks, lack of sleep and alcohol that accompany that night, but I guess part of tradition is also not constantly questioning it 😅!

Directly used MT17 Selenium toner decreases the saturation. After a pre-toning with Lead, the opposite happens.
Although nearly fully grown and independent, before crossing the path, this male kitten wanted his mother to take the lead.

Mittimatalik, known in English as Pond Inlet, is located on the northerly tip of Baffin Island in the Lancaster Sound region on the east side of Eclipse Sound.
The region has one of Canada's most inhospitable climates—with long, dark winters and temperatures averaging −30.8 °C (−23.4 °F) (December to February, meteorological reckoning). By 2021, Pond Inlet with a population of 1,555, along with Clyde River with 1,181 and Qikiqtarjuaq with 593, comprised the population of the Arctic Cordillera—about 3,300 people. Most of the people who live in the region survive by hunting, fishing, and trapping.
It is at this location, it is believed, was the last sighting of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus in 1845, of the ill fated Franklin expedition, by a party of Inuit whalers. The ships were observed transiting Eclipse Sound, shown above, into Navy Board Inlet on their search for the Northwest Passage.
I love the simplicity of the churches in the Lake District. Why need ornamentation when the surrounding landscape says it all?
Fuji X-E2 plus Samyang telephoto mirror lens. Perhaps any image made away from the scene and trying to honestly symbolise the suffering in Gaza must be inadequate. "Let them eat lead" is my attempt to visualise the disregard for Palestinian life that is en vogue among the Israeli government. Terms like "war crimes" and "genocide" are in the air and they undermine the legitimacy of the State of Israel and the very reason for its establishment. Huge damage has been done to the lives of the Palestinians and, concerning the reputation of Israel, a demolition job is going on.
