Only 100 meters away the Trier christmas market attracts thousands of tourists. But this small backstreet is in peace and quiet.

Another viewpoint of Tottiford reservoir from our day out last Sunday. It seems to be a popular spot for fishing and bird watching. We spotted some cormorants, did not know they would also hang out so far inland...

This macro-focused image captures a stately American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) in high detail, perched prominently atop a weathered log. The amphibian's moist, olive-green skin is mottled with dark brown patterns, and its large, golden iris glows under soft, diffused light.
The log itself is blanketed in a lush, velvet-like layer of emerald green moss that retains droplets of water from a recent mist. Adding a touch of new life to the composition, a single, delicate green sprig with a few tiny leaves emerges from a crack at one end of the log, providing a soft vertical counterpoint to the bullfrog’s heavy, grounded presence. The background is a soft bokeh of swampy greens and muted blues, keeping the focus entirely on the textures of the frog and its mossy throne.

I am grateful for your continued support and appreciate every view, fave, and comment!
This morning, on the first day of spring, the sun was shining bright through the trellis on the edge of this carport. It was warm and breezy, a perfect spring day in Adelaide.
That's Teignmouth pier - unfortunately it seems like much of the pier will be demolished in the near future because no financial support to do the necessary reconstruction could be found. A shame really as this is one of the landmarks of the South Devon coast!
An Iberian Green Woodpecker (male) pauses at the edge of a hidden pool, head tilted skyward after a refreshing drink. Captured from a low perspective, his striking plumage stands out against the natural backdrop.

**🎬 Prompt cinématographique (hyperréaliste, détaillé)**
Trois félins majestueux sont assis sur un promontoire rocheux légèrement humide, dominant une vaste forêt de conifères plongée dans une nuit claire et profonde. Au centre, un petit chat domestique au pelage long et gris argenté, doux et légèrement ébouriffé, regarde vers le ciel avec une curiosité presque mystique. À sa gauche, une panthère noire au pelage sombre et velouté, absorbant la lumière lunaire avec des reflets subtils, est assise dans une posture noble, silencieuse et imposante. À droite, un léopard aux rosettes dorées et noires, puissamment musclé, ouvre légèrement la gueule comme s’il rugissait vers le ciel, révélant ses crocs dans une tension dramatique.
Au-dessus d’eux, une pleine lune gigantesque et éclatante domine le ciel nocturne, baignant la scène d’une lumière froide, argentée, presque irréelle. Les nuages fins et mouvants traversent lentement le ciel étoilé, créant un jeu de lumière dynamique et diffus autour de la lune. La brume légère s’étend sur les collines lointaines, donnant de la profondeur à l’arrière-plan montagneux.
Le sol est recouvert de mousse humide, de petites pierres et de végétation basse, capturant des reflets subtils de la lumière lunaire. Les silhouettes des arbres s’étendent à perte de vue, sombres et légèrement floues par la perspective atmosphérique.
**Style visuel :** hyperréalisme 8K, rendu cinématographique, profondeur de champ maîtrisée, éclairage volumétrique, contraste élevé avec tons froids bleutés et argentés, textures ultra détaillées (fourrure, roches, végétation), ambiance mystique et contemplative.
**Caméra :** plan large légèrement en contre-plongée, focalisation douce sur les trois félins, arrière-plan légèrement flou, effet bokeh subtil dans les étoiles.
**Ambiance :** silencieuse, sacrée, presque mythologique, comme une réunion secrète sous la lune. Sensation de respect, de puissance et d’harmonie entre sauvage et domestique.
**Références cinématographiques :** style inspiré de *The Revenant*, *Planet Earth*, et *The Lion King* version réaliste.

**🎬 Cinematic Prompt (ultra-detailed, hyperrealistic)**
Three majestic felines sit atop a slightly damp rocky outcrop overlooking an immense conifer forest submerged in a deep, crystalline night. At the center, a small domestic cat with long, soft silver-gray fur, slightly tousled, gazes upward with an almost mystical curiosity. To its left, a black panther with a velvety coat absorbs the moonlight, revealing subtle reflective highlights along its powerful frame; it sits in a poised, silent, regal posture. To the right, a muscular leopard with golden fur and dark rosettes opens its jaws slightly, as if roaring toward the sky, exposing sharp fangs in a moment of restrained intensity.
Above them, an enormous full moon dominates the sky, radiant and almost surreal, casting a cold, silvery glow across the entire scene. Thin drifting clouds pass slowly in front of the moon, creating dynamic light diffusion and soft halos. A faint mist blankets the distant hills, adding depth and atmosphere to the mountainous background.
The ground is textured with damp moss, scattered stones, and low vegetation, each detail catching delicate reflections of lunar light. Endless silhouettes of pine trees stretch into the horizon, fading into atmospheric perspective.
**Visual style:** hyperrealism, 8K resolution, cinematic rendering, controlled depth of field, volumetric lighting, high contrast with cool blue and silver tones, ultra-detailed textures (fur, rock, foliage), mystical and contemplative mood.
**Camera:** wide shot, slight low angle, soft focus on the three felines, subtly blurred background, gentle star bokeh.
**Mood:** silent, sacred, almost mythological. A secret gathering beneath the moon. A balance between wild power and quiet domestic innocence.
**Cinematic references:** *The Revenant*, *Planet Earth*, realistic *The Lion King*.

She was hunting in a distant field when I first located her. For a brief moment I got distracted and I lost her completely. However, she was following a ditch between two hills, so I calculated her path of movement and came back to another trail where I thought I might find her. Sure enough, after 30 mins, I suddenly hear the ground squirrels screeching. As I look she came running down the hill chasing the squirrels.
I am not much familiar with bobcats yet, so I don't know whether she is inexperienced or not. But I never saw her catching a single squirrel in her numerous attempts. However, my estimate of her path was precise enough that I did not need to move, just needed to lie down for this image. I was also prepared for this situation, ready with the proper camera settings and lens.
She looks at me, nonchalantly cross the road, and at that moment I got distracted again. Three bikers came rushing down behind me with loud talks. I needed to move from the middle of the trail. So I lost her again, but for a brief moment.
I will continue with this bobcat and it's evening prowl. At the same time tell the story as it unfolded. It was an evening of learning, frustration and observation of bobcat-human interactions.

There are a few of these old mansions which formerly belonged to rich businessmen in the city. Unhappily some of them have been left to rot and are in a very poor state of repair. This is sad because those that have been renovated are magnificent.
Union Twp, Pennsylvania.
Thank you for looking!

The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
