I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

Contra-picado de vértigo / Low-angle shot, vertigo
Al revelarla me gusto el efecto de vértigo que produce este contra-picado, espero que entretenga.
By revealing I liked the effect of vertigo which produces this Low-angle shot, I hope it entertains.
Resting just above the grass, this unopened bud reveals a fleeting botanical moment — the quiet anticipation before bloom.
Photographed in April 2025 from ground level with a macro lens, the image captures subtle hues of green, olive, cream, and soft mauve that often pass unnoticed by the naked eye.
The bud is most likely from the Allium genus, a group that includes onions, garlic, and chives, all known for their spherical flower heads and papery protective bracts.
Fun fact: Many Allium species develop their complete flower structure inside the bud weeks before it ever opens, making this stage a fully formed bloom — just waiting for the signal to emerge.

During my first trip to Venice back in late january, I finally was able to photograph reflections on a beach and I kept returning hoping to capture similar luck. The conditions varied greatly each time and on my third visit, there was some color to the overcast sky but it was overshadowed by a dark golden haze.
I arrived a bit later than I had intended and set up as the winter sun was already being to fall and I set up quickly. I didn't have time to get over to my normal spot by the lifeguard station that sits between Santa Monica Beach and Venice Beach so i just found a clear area and focused on the horizon. This cloud pattern hung around for a while and the mild winds made it somewhat tough to get a good read on shutter speed so I alternated between several long exposures and bursts of shots at quicker settings.
Venice was mostly empty when I went there to shoot and this day wasn't much different. Very few people were near the shoreline and most were on the other side of the boardwalk behind me. I ended up staying here until well past sundown since the light trails from planes over both Venice and Santa Monica piers were kind of hypnotic.

Another "old" image. I'm having a "spring clean" on my computer, deleting, organising and mapping them. Kept this image as "no delete" as I quite like the moss-covered rocks and light giving a fairy tale atmosphere. - Primary forest, Sweden.
the sun was low. it created a shape, a human shadow. but the shadow was not the subject. the subject was small, and it was looking at me. the fur caught the light. the eyes were dark points. on the street, in the harsh light, everything was simple. there was a shadow, and there was a guardian. and the guardian did not move.
This is to celebrate vitality and longevity of pinhole cameras. Taken with a repaired camera that once has been found smashed. Happy winter solstice, dear flickr Friends!
