Sometimes, the golden hour is out of time...
The last seconds of sunlight, before the thunderstorm is coming. Wonderful contrast in this moments...
Sometimes I will actually choose a composition that I think other people might get. I wont make a habit of it though.
Sometimes there is a beautiful light.
Which reflects on all things: sky, eyes, windows.
Time smiles and people fall in love.

“Sometimes the dustiest cover hides the best book.
Sometimes the best cup is chipped.”
quote from "Once upon a time" (Belle)
inspired by Macro Monday's theme 'broken' and
52 in 2023 challenge: #44 = broken:
it's only a chipped mug ... really annoying as it's one of my favourite big coffee mugs, but I can still use it
Just for fun (handheld and grainy ; ))
Still trying to get my muse back ...
Happy Monday, everyone

Sometimes it’s just great to gather energy. Relaxing, without any obligations and expectations.
Convert your energy into believing, trusting, creating, growing, discovering, visualizing and manifesting.
Sometimes they like to count the pine cones out front. Believe me, there are a lot of them. I have some tall pines here.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
Sometimes leaning back is all it takes to see how vast the world within us truly is

“Sometimes,
I doubt the courage
My bones are made of
And then,
A breath finds her way in
And her way out
My heart sighs
And quietly whispers:
I remember.”

Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it's been
sometimes things just dont work out for others
sometimes its just bad luck
and sometimes..its just me..
My sun bursted like a star this evening
I had a blast on my hike today
Up to the top where my lake is and there she was waiting for me
All shining
And bursting
Not always easy to get the burst correct
Sometimes it spreads too much and gets all these colours
But this was the best
I was of course thrilled in all my joy of getting a tiny bit more knowledge about this lovely photo-hobby of mine
04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.
