Stepping into this room feels like a quiet embrace, a tranquil moment tucked away from the bustling world outside. This photograph beautifully captures the essence of a traditional Japanese breakfast room, bathed in the soft, diffused light that filters through both traditional and modern windows. On the left, a classic shoji screen panel with its delicate paper and wooden lattice provides privacy and a gentle glow, a timeless element of Japanese interior design. This contrasts beautifully with the large, multi-paneled window on the right, which acts as a living frame for a breathtaking view of an autumn garden.
The eye is immediately drawn to the vibrant outdoor scene. Beyond the dark wooden frames, a lush backdrop of trees in full autumn color unfolds, with fiery reds and oranges mingling with deeper, more subdued tones. It’s a quintessential view of Japanese fall foliage, inviting contemplation and a connection with nature. The subtle warmth of the sunlight catches the edges of the wooden table in the foreground, where a modern touch is introduced by a smartphone resting casually, alongside some neatly folded napkins. This small detail grounds the timeless setting in the present, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.
The room itself is minimalist, dominated by rich, dark wood tones from the window frames and floor, providing a strong, natural foundation. The walls are a soft, neutral plaster, allowing the intricate details of the shoji screen and the vividness of the outdoor landscape to truly shine. The low-angle perspective from inside the room further draws you into this personal, reflective space, making you feel as if you are seated there, ready to enjoy a peaceful morning meal while soaking in the beauty of the changing seasons. It’s more than just a room; it’s an experience of quiet luxury and natural beauty, perfectly encapsulated in a single frame.
Taken on a fairly chilly morning on holiday in September. This blue tit seemed to be clinging to the window frame for warmth.

In days elapsed, #46 didn't take as long to find as some numbers, but in km walked it was a bitch. I just couldn't find a decent one in Nottingham city centre, and then this beauty jumped out at me while walking to Beeston Marina.

I have a dear friend named Zoe that invites me to tea from time to time. I love it that her very name means "life", because that is exactly what she imparts to everyone around her.
Traveled all over Colorado in 8 days. It was amazing. I loved the old Ghost towns and how the people don't rip everything down just because its getting older. There were so many old architectural sites to be seen. Of course flying through town to get to the next one wasn't a photographers dream but we covered a lot of ground.
This looks a little strange to me - maybe I should have cropped a bit off the bottom? This was taken from inside one of the wonderful little buildings on Jim Coutts' incredible homestead, south of Calgary and west of Nanton. Each year now, he invites us down there for a few hours and I enjoy every moment I'm there. His gardens are amazing, including a carefully laid out Natural Grasses section - a few feet square for each of many different grass species. His flower gardens leave me breathless : ) Jim is very interested in returning his homestead land back to native grassland. He is very knowledgeable about nature and certainly does his "homework". After visiting his homestead, he took us for a long hike on someone's private property to botanize the area - wonderful rolling hills in the Porcupine Hills area, of which I posted a photo two days ago.
I thought I'd try something really fun today......
No, this was not taken from my bedroom window....... I found this great free window frame png file online and decided to have a play with it, so framed these gorgeous bright red berries (hawthorn, thanks to Worthing Wanderer for the ID) that I photographed while out for a walk last Saturday afternoon :)
Have a great Saturday everyone, hope you all have a chance to get out snapping :)
thank you for viewing :)

Natural daylight, the camera steadied on the windowframe in front of me...

Janela manuelina em cantaria de granito, integrada numa casa do núcleo histórico de Linhares da Beira (Celorico da Beira), uma das “Aldeias Históricas de Portugal”. O enquadramento, datável do início do séc. XVI, revela a linguagem do manuelino tardogótico: molduras recortadas e ondulantes, colunelos adossados com bases e capitéis trabalhados e remates superiores em forma de pináculos/folhagem, elementos que, além de estruturais, funcionavam como marca de prestígio num contexto urbano ligado a rotas serranas e ao poder local. A escolha do granito, abundante na região, impôs uma escultura de relevo contido, mas durável, hoje com pátina, fissuras e sinais de erosão. A caixilharia pintada e o envidraçado correspondem a adaptações modernas para conforto térmico e proteção, mantendo-se, porém, a leitura do vão original sob a cornija de telha cerâmica tradicional.
A Manueline-style window made of granite masonry, set in a house in the historic center of Linhares da Beira (Celorico da Beira), one of the “Historic Villages of Portugal.” The frame, dating from the early 16th century, reflects the late Gothic Manueline style: scalloped and undulating moldings, attached pilasters with carved bases and capitals, and upper finials in the form of pinnacles or foliage—elements that, in addition to their structural function, served as symbols of prestige in an urban context linked to mountain routes and local power. The choice of granite, abundant in the region, necessitated a sculpture with restrained relief yet durable in nature; today, it bears a patina, fissures, and signs of erosion. The painted window frames and glazing are modern adaptations for thermal comfort and protection, while still preserving the appearance of the original opening beneath the traditional ceramic tile cornice.
This hauntingly minimal photograph captures a layered, abstract architectural scene from an exhibit inside MAAT Lisbon. Weathered concrete panels, exposed studs, and sections of plywood form a quiet composition that blurs the line between construction and deconstruction. Warm wood tones contrast starkly against cool slate grays, evoking the rhythm of geometry and decay. It’s a meditation on negative space, urban erosion, and the poetics of unfinished environments. The piece compels viewers to question what is being built—or what has been left behind. Displayed with reverent simplicity at MAAT, this work invites introspection through the language of line, shadow, and raw material.
www.RepublicOfConscience.comThe 21st Century evolution of the Peace Symbol into the Sustainability Symbol - see here: www.flickr.com/photos/dragonpreneur/1471098570/in/photost...
The 2 finger Peace Symbol has largely lost its meaning in many parts of the world... in Asia for instance, the two finger "V" is usually considered to be the "Victory" sign, or sometimes a gesture for "Happiness" or "Cool" - there is no consensus on its meaning, and usually people display the gesture mostly because they don't know what to do with their hands, or someone else is doing it, and they just follow.
ADDING ONE FINGER to the PEACE SYMBOL gives it new meaning... SUSTAINABILITY.... Peace, Harmony and Balance between Society, Environment and Economy.
Now, people are wondering why more and more people are making 3 Finger Symbol in photos.. they are asking QUESTIONS... "I know what the two fingers mean, but What does 3 Fingers mean?".. which begins a dialogue that can only result in good things happening between people.
The next evolution of the Peace Plus One 3 Finger Sustainability Symbol is to help start the balancing process and make better and better decisions in our daily lives. We can do this EVERY WEDNESDAY with 3 simple actions found here:

I captured this in-camera focus stacked image in my back garden. It was located in the top corner of one of my window reveals. It doesn’t look long since the fly had been captured by the spider (not sure of the spiders ID?).
Thanks for visiting my Flickr page. Happy to receive feedback / comments.

Red Creek, South Australia.
Another photo of a ruined farmhouse in Red Creek, South Australia. Unlike many of the local ruins, this farmhouse is still relatively intact – others ruins have generally been reduced to a hearth and/or piles of stones. It suggests this house was abandoned more recently than many of the other old farmhouses and buildings in the area.
Earlier posts of the same house can be found here:
