I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

Bridge over the Tone.
He walks where iron railings freeze the night,
A quiet shadow bound by the lamps beams,
Pursued by ghosts of failure, out of sight,
And broken vows that withered into dreams.
A lonely figure beneath the streetlamp’s glare,
He hauls the weight of years he cannot mend,
Tracing the cold, damp stone of dark despair,
Towards a road that never seems to end.
Taunton, Somerset, UK.
the great plaza is a stage. strangers move like shadows under a vast sky, the iron tower stands, indifferent to them all. but for a moment, it is not theirs. it is framed by a personal horizon, claimed by a fleeting, perfect geometry. a brief, powerful alignment of self and symbol, held against the light.
A pair of Eastern Painted turtles.
You can tell the one on the right is female because she has her legs and feet tucked, complaining she is chilly.
I am grateful for your visit and appreciate every view, fave and comment. Thank you!

Looking back on Manhattan from the Brooklyn side of the iconic bridge makes you feel sentimental, especially when you're back home again and another visit is far away...
Ein Wildkraut, das im Garten eigentlich nicht so beliebt ist,
da es alles überwuchert.
Aber ich sowie viele Insekten mögen die zauberhaften Blüten
des auch als Heilkraut bekannten Gierschs gerne.
A wild herb that isn’t really very popular in the garden,
as it tends to take over everything.
But I, and many insects, do like the enchanting flowers
of ground elder, which is also known as a medicinal herb.

Have a "Happy Crazy Tuesday" 😊
and many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.🌸
I used to spend hours swinging as a child. I miss the flights of fancy I went on, miss how the rest of the world ceased to exist in the exhilarating rush of wind and ideas. I think it's the closest most of ever get to flying like a bird.

- SITE HISTORIQUE DES MOULINS DE SAULT-AU-RÉCOLLET à Montréal.
Structure commémorative représentant l'emplacement d'origine de la cheminée des Moulins à eau du village de Sault-au-Récollet, ainsi que tous les propriétaires du site au travers les années.

I found myself in a small lagoon where this Great Egret was fishing. No one was around to distract the bird and I was able to approach slowly enough not to disturb it. I was in the water, kneeling, trying to get my lens right over the surface of the water, which created this lovely effect in the foreground. It caught this little fish in an instant and an instant later, it was gone. (Casmerodius albus) (Sony a1, 200-600 lens @ 600mm, f/6.3, 1/6400 second, ISO 640)
I spotted this Tufted Duck pair alongside a swan at a local wetland in Kuusamo, Finland. The summer day was so warm that I decided to just lie down on a mossy patch by the shoreline, soak up the sun, and enjoy watching their interactions. A truly relaxing way to spend a perfect summer afternoon.
Les baies élancées de l'église Saint-Henri dessinent une succession de formes gothiques dans un rythme presque musical. Sous un ciel bleu traversé de fins nuages, la pierre claire, les vitraux et les lignes répétitives composent une étude graphique de lumière, de géométrie et d'architecture au cœur de Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, à Bruxelles.
The soaring windows of Saint-Henri Church create a sequence of Gothic forms arranged in an almost musical rhythm. Beneath a deep blue sky streaked with delicate clouds, light stone, stained glass, and repeating lines come together in a graphic study of architecture, geometry, and light in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Brussels.
From our Sunday trip to Dawlish. This is the beach where we found all those pieces of polished green glass from the previous upload. It's a nice bit of rugged coastline. Dawlish is known for the railway passing just at the shoreline and there are spectacular images of waves crashing over the passing trains. One of the railway tunnels can be seen in the background. There are some nice sea stacks lining that bit of coast, some of which can also be seen in the background.
Le flacking, une pratique d'art urbain rendue célèbre par l'artiste lyonnais Ememem, surnommé le chirurgien du bitume.
Cela consiste à soigner les blessures de la chaussée en y incrustant des mosaïques composées de fragments de céramique, vaisselle, carreaux et pâte de verre.
Captured from a low angle, this composition highlights mushrooms with distinct patterns and textures, enhanced by soft daylight illuminating their surfaces, revealing the intricate details of their caps and stems.
Early morning looking over the Forth towards Edinburgh - the little mound you can see on the horizon is Arthurs seat, with Edinburgh Castle to the right.
As the sun peaks over the horizon, it sounds a bit like this
From a hike a few weeks ago, when there were plenty of fungi growing on various animal droppings along our way....
This photograph captures the brief twilight period just after sunset. It marks the transition from a hot, humid day to a relatively cooler night, which typically occurs from early September to late October when the intense summer conditions finally begin to subside.
The story of this shift unveils vertically across the sky:
* The Horizon: Warm, fiery tones glow near the water, preserving the day’s lingering heat.
* The Mid-Sky: Radiant oranges and golds yield to soft, transitional light blue.
* The Upper Canopy: High above, the warmth fades into deep, cool blues that signal the night air.
It’s a silent dialogue between heat and cold, rendered in a striking gradient from the sea to the deep sky. I hope you enjoy the view, dear friends!
