It's a bit cold and damp here in Surrey - worried he might be a little hoarse.

A long-haired tabby cat sits behind a multi-pane sash window, staring directly outward with a stern, unimpressed expression. Soft daylight falls across the glass and frame, with shutters above and faint reflections hinting at a quiet street outside.

​A vertical, eye-level photograph of a dense forest filled with tall, slender tree trunks. The trees are packed closely together, creating a repetitive vertical pattern of grey and brown bark. A single trunk in the middle of the frame is struck by a narrow, intense beam of golden sunlight, causing it to glow brightly while the surrounding trees remain in deep shadow. The forest floor is covered in dry, brown vegetation, and the background fades into a soft, dark blur.

A quiet, gently curving road runs through a forest, seen from a low perspective close to the asphalt. Tall trees line both sides of the road, their bare branches forming a natural corridor that guides the view into the distance. Warm autumn colors and fallen leaves cover the forest floor, while soft light filters through the trees, creating a calm and reflective atmosphere that draws the eye forward and if anything manages to surpass the beauty of this scene, it’s likely the person reading this. 😉

Aurora borealis forming layered bands with a brief corona directly overhead, overpowering the light of the moon.

More of my aurora photography here:

#alaska #auroraborealis #northernlights #fairbanks
Green aurora borealis forming multiple horizontal bands across a dark night sky, with faint vertical rays spreading upward from the center of the display. The moon appears as a bright white disk to the right of center, visible through thinner sections of the aurora. Snow-covered spruce and leafless trees form dark silhouettes along the bottom edge of the image. The aurora casts a soft green glow over the treetops, while small stars remain visible in darker areas of the sky.

-3°C 🥶 and the warm light breaks through the trees at Bourne Woods, UK

A woodland path winds through tall pine trees in Bourne Woods, Surrey. The low winter sun breaks through the trees, creating a bright sunburst and long shadows across lightly frosted ground, with warm golden light contrasting against a clear blue sky.

Happy Tuesday! I am always trying to find a way to fit in my many shots of lighthouses from around the world into the weekly art challenges. Here we have Egg Rock #Lighthouse in #Maine.

Built in 1875 with its unique square tower.

A long & unpredictable 2025. Lots of family support. A few dips in photo mojo but still came away with some of my favourite images.

To 2026 & more BS likes (!?)

A 3×3 grid of nine photographs from the year, including black-and-white street scenes, a seated Buddha statue, a tuk-tuk in motion, a fisherman at the shoreline, a fire performer at night, a live music bassist on stage, a close portrait from a cultural festival, two Sikh men standing side by side in London, and a lighthouse at sunset on Plymouth Hoe.

A high-contrast black and white photograph showing the silhouette of a modern, angular building against a dramatic, cloudy sky. A plume of dark smoke rises from a small chimney on the roof, drifting upward and to the left. The building features sharp lines and a section of glass windows that reflect the light. The sky is filled with textured, streaky clouds, with a prominent horizontal vapor trail or cloud band cutting across the upper third of the frame. The overall mood is industrial and moody, emphasized by the stark shadows and grayscale tones. A black and white, high-contrast landscape photograph taken from a low angle on a promenade. A dark metal railing with ornate sphere-topped posts stretches from the bottom right into the distance on the left, creating a strong leading line. Attached to the closest post is a white rectangular sign that reads "DON'T FEED THE GULLS" in bold black lettering, accompanied by a simple graphic of a bird. To the right of the railing is a calm body of water, and in the background, a silhouette of rolling hills and a small coastal town are visible under a pale, overcast sky. The left side of the frame is dominated by deep shadows on the walkway, contrasting with the bright surface of the water and sky. A wide-angle, black and white photograph of an industrial harbor at twilight. In the mid-ground, a dark pier extends into the calm water, topped with a modern, multi-story control tower and two massive container cranes silhouetted against the sky. The cranes' intricate lattice structures reach upward, leaning slightly toward the right. The sky is filled with a layer of heavy, dark clouds near the horizon, transitioning into a lighter, streaked expanse above where a pale crescent moon is visible in the upper left corner. The water in the foreground is dark with subtle ripples, reflecting the faint light from the sky. The overall atmosphere is quiet and expansive, capturing a moment of industrial stillness. A black and white, high-contrast architectural photograph featuring the intersection of several buildings. In the foreground, a dark, horizontally-slatted wall cuts across the bottom left. Above it, a large warehouse with vertical corrugated metal siding dominates the right side of the frame, featuring a sign that reads "Crawfurds Car Centre" with a phone number and website address. Behind these structures rises a taller, dark brick building with a rugged, weathered texture and several small windows and pipes visible on its facade. The entire composition is set against a vast, pale, and slightly hazy sky that occupies the upper half of the image. The lighting creates sharp geometric shapes and deep shadows, giving the scene a stark, industrial feel.

This dragonfly is a Wandering Glider (Pantala flavescens). It was preening its tarsus as it rested on a branch.
