A scenic landscape featuring rolling green hills under a partly cloudy sky. In the background, there are distant buildings and trees, creating a serene and open atmosphere.

Three Gulls Fishing Atrociously

(Multiple attempts, zero fish)
Black and white photo of three gulls fishing on a small lake. It is a dark and moody scene. Sunlight gleams off the birds and their reflections on the water. One gull (on the left) is preparing to splash down on the water, wings outstretched. Another gull (in the middle) is captured in the moment of splash down, wings aloft. The third gull (on the right) is rising up from its own splashdown just moments before, wings aloft and feet dangling. They are all failing on their attempt to fish

The windowless front of an old military building stands with loose and missing pieces of siding. Before it is parking lot where grass and weeds grow between zig zags of broken pavement. One of these broken areas appears to make its way from the bottom of the photo to the door of the building.

My cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StareDown bird looking at you, the Alternative is #GullsInFlight. The Jay absolutely stared down. I’ll just repost today as I’m getting ready to visit my daughter in Australia. Sorry. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A close-up photo of a Eurasian jay perched on a branch, its warm brown body and pale throat contrasting with the striking blue-and-black barred feathers on its wing. The bird looks directly toward the camera with a slightly raised crest and a bit of green plant matter on its bill. Surrounding it are deep green leaves and clusters of bright red berries.

Anhinga in Profile
"An Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) perches on a bare, sun-bleached branch that juts above a calm body of water. Its long, serpentine neck curves with quiet tension, and its sharp, pointed beak angles forward like a compass needle. The bird’s plumage is dark and glossy, almost lacquered — a deep charcoal that absorbs light rather than reflects it. Subtle variations in tone hint at layered feathers, but there are no bright streaks or metallic flashes. Its wings are folded close, revealing a sleek, streamlined body built for stealth and sudden motion. The background is a soft blur of green, likely reflected foliage, lending the scene a hushed, painterly atmosphere. The Anhinga stands in profile, solitary and alert — a quiet figure above the water, poised between stillness and flight. The image is signed “© Swede’s Photographs” in the bottom right corner, a gentle mark on a moment of natural precision." - Microsoft Copilot

Red Leaves・かえで
love shooting maple leaves lit from behind, which makes them glow like stained glass. They are highlighted by the morning sunlight filtering through the trees. カエデの葉を後ろから照らすと、ステンドグラスのように輝いて見える。木漏れ日が葉を際立たせている。

Mountain morning, frosted moss, sunlight landscape, citron gloss. Forest sunbeams, skip and shine, golden reflection, ocean brine. Scattered cotton, glowing threads, dreamlike whimsy, overhead. Hopeful tenderness, wishful breeze, calming wilderness, Nature's peace.

Came across this Pasqualino & Fils truck in Brussels today and followed the smell of warm sugar right to a fresh Liège waffle. Crispy edges, soft inside, pure happiness. 🧇✨

🌅 Golden Hour in Okinawa!

The sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in breathtaking shades of orange and gold over Okinawa, Japan. What a serene way to end the day! 🧡

🌻 Throwback Thursday 🌻
A look back at this moment in Oregon’s Painted Hills, a sunflower standing strong against the colorful desert landscape. Proof that beauty thrives even in the harshest places. 💛

Lofoten Islands, Norway
The image captures a stunning display of the aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, dancing across the night sky. The aurora presents as a vibrant, expansive green curtain, dotted with myriad stars. Below, a silhouette of mountains forms a stark contrast against the luminous sky. In the foreground, a flat, sandy surface stretches out, its texture hinted at by the long shadows cast across it. A hamlet can be seen in the distance too, materialised by lights from the buildings.

Hope we've all had or are having a great Thursday. My work day is done. Images all made on the recent shoot with Ishimaru Udon in Shikoku are all edited and ready for the designer to drop into the brochure. Looking great.

Have a lovely evening, everyone.

Love&peace

Tokyo' Shinjuku district shot with a tilt-shift lens setup, making the city look like a toy landscape or miniature diorama. We see a tall building on a crossroads, colourfully covered in all sorts of advertising hoardings. Below it, buses and cars and taxis on the street. Everything appears in miniature due to the nature of how the image was shot: a generous down angle on the camera, tilt and shift movements applied.

There’s a serene balance to Kleine Zavel — a garden that feels both grand and intimate, framed by statues and autumn color. The reflections of the Egmont and Hornes monument bring a quiet poetry to this Brussels landmark.

looking at this foggy early morning great blue heron in florida called out for playing in black and white and film effects. #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #paddling ,birds standing or walking in shallow water
#birds #photography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin
early in the morning with the sun just starting to rise behind it - foggy and a little eerie - this great blue heron stood on its long legs at the ocean end of the florida estuero, a perfect reflection in the mirror like water -- i added grain and contrast to the image to get closer to the feeling i had that morning
