Something a bit different - a landscape of droplets on red plastic.
Had the (mis)fortune to be working on the plastic, prepping an art installation for Hobart's annual DARK MOFO. Rained pretty much the whole time and we were well over it by the end.
For this pic however, the sun came out for a few moments and the 'art' was hard to pass up!

Blue creek point, Eufaula lake. Pittsburg County, Oklahoma... Decided to post something a little bit different than the stuff I have been putting out lately. The comp is maybe a bit too busy, I don't know, I still like it though. Hate to post and run but I have to go to work. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
A split-second moment captured as a Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) skims low across the water, its wingtip elegantly lifting just after breaking the surface. The shot highlights the sharp contrast of its dark summer plumage head against the soft, rippling tones of the water, complete with a delicate trail of water droplets and a mirrored reflection below.
Framed naturally through a soft, out-of-focus foreground, this image relies entirely on field craft and patience to capture wildlife exactly as it behaves in the natural world. This is a work of pure photography—captured entirely in-camera with no digital manipulation, trick photography, or AI enhancements.
Just viewing the pond this morning and this guy popped up - made each other jump and then we had the stand off!!
A moment of perfect stillness on a frigid morning. A magnificent male Gadwall duck confronts the viewer with a direct, unwavering gaze as it floats on the icy water. A delicate dusting of frost on its head and the thick mist rolling in the background speak to the deep chill in the air. This intimate, eye-level perspective reveals the breathtakingly intricate, lace-like patterns of its feathers, creating a powerful portrait of serene resilience against the cold.
I've got hundreds of these little wheels in my basement. How do i get rid of them?

Hej, da bin ich wieder! Nach unserem verregneten Sommerurlaub wollten wir doch noch einen kleinen besonderen Urlaub machen. Auf unserer To-Do -Liste steht schon seit Jahren Ägypten und so entschieden wir, uns in dieses Abenteuer zu werfen. Diese Reise entfaltete sich als unvergessliche Erfahrung. Nach drei Tagen in Hurghada brachen wir nach Luxor auf. Von dort aus setzten wir unsere Reise auf einem Schiff fort, das gemächlich den Nil entlang nach Assuan tuckerte. In Assuan erwartete uns ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis: die Fahrt auf einer traditionellen Feluke. Als der Kapitän meinem Mann das Steuer überreichte, leuchteten seine Augen vor Freude. Unter der strahlenden Sonne glitten wir sanft über den majestätischen Nil, während die Welt um uns herum still zu stehen schien. Die Sonne brach sich in glitzernden Reflexionen auf der Wasseroberfläche, während wir uns langsam der Insel Elephantine näherten. Vogelrufe erfüllten die Luft, Reiher, Kormorane und kleine Wasserhühner ließen ihr Gefieder in der Sonne trocknen.
Im Hintergrund seht ihr das Mausoleum des Aga Khan. Es ist ein architektonisches Juwel, das auf einem Hügel in der Nähe von Assuan thront. Es ist die letzte Ruhestätte des Aga Khan III. Dieses Mausoleum, das oft als "Taj Mahal des Nahen Ostens" bezeichnet wird, fasziniert mit seiner eleganten Architektur und seiner friedvollen Lage.
"Hey, I'm back again! After our rainy summer vacation, we wanted to have another special little getaway. Egypt has been on our to-do list for years, so we decided to embark on this adventure. This journey unfolded as an unforgettable experience. After three days in Hurghada, we set off for Luxor. From there, our journey continued on a leisurely boat along the Nile to Aswan. In Aswan, a very special experience awaited us: a ride on a traditional felucca. When the captain handed the steering wheel to my husband, his eyes lit up with joy. Under the radiant sun, we glided gently along the majestic Nile, while the world around us seemed to stand still. The sun sparkled in shimmering reflections on the water's surface as we slowly approached Elephantine Island. Bird calls filled the air, herons, cormorants, and small waterfowl basked in the sun, drying their feathers.
In the background, you can see the Mausoleum of Aga Khan. It's an architectural gem perched on a hill near Aswan. It's the final resting place of Aga Khan III. This mausoleum, often referred to as the 'Taj Mahal of the Middle East,' captivates with its elegant architecture and peaceful location."
We're having a beautiful sunny Sunday evening. Decided to use the pocket camera that's waterproof for a water capture. My very first try on this. 182/365
Collembola under a drop of water.
The Collembola's (aka Dicyrtomina minuta forma ornata) feet make use of surface tension that allow it to walk upside down on a drop of water.
There is no way to penetrate the surface of life but by attacking it earnestly at a particular point. -Charles Horton Cooley
A jumper surfaces and gasps as she comes up in the icy lake water during the Penguin Plunge held at City Beach in Whitefish Montana as part of the City’s annual Winter Carnival. The plunge is held to benefit Special Olympics and is sponsored by Local Law Enforcement agencies and businesses. Over 130 people jumped and raised more than $40,000!

Distorted reflections in the windows of a San Francisco building.
Almost every time I photograph in big city (and sometimes small city…) downtowns I end up getting distracted by the things reflected in the windows of tall buildings, and by how they relate to the forms of these architectural structures.
Buildings of certain styles and vintages have exteriors that are largely glass. While these buildings have physical forms and volumes, what we see of them is more a result of what is around them than of their own shapes. I’m intrigued by how little of what we see when we look at such structures is actually the structures themselves — most of what we see is virtual, imaginary, and transitory. In this photograph, all you see of the buildings actual exterior are a few non-reflective areas between windows — some dark horizontal strips and a few lighter vertical panels. Everything else in the image is either inside the building (a few interior lights seen through the windows) or a distorted reflection of the building’s surroundings.

Antwerp, close to the harbour and the brand new porthouse, they are building many new appartment blocks. This one is recently finished. I love its minimalism and bright aspect.
