A bullfinch! Not a wildly impressive shot by any means, but one of my favourites of 2025.

Many people have wondered why the Chien-Shiung Wu never won the Nobel Prize for Physics. New findings from the Nobel archives, exclusively revealed in Physics World, show she was nominated 23 times by 18 different physicists - and yet was still left empty-handed. 🧪⚛️

Enter the “Serenza”: @LNER has released the first interior images of its ten new 10-car tri-mode CAF Class 897s which are due to enter service in 2028. It has also christened the trains “Serenza” and LNER says they will be the first new trains introduced as part of GBR and will be branded as such

Two pigeons are sat on a wall, facing away from the camera. It is a sunny day, and there are blue skies dotted lightly with clouds in the background.

For @alan678.bsky.social‘s #BirdoftheDay, the theme is #poise. I‘m posting this bird I saw in Ouro Preto, July 2024 🇧🇷🐦‍⬛

Anyone know what it could be? I thought it was a tufted antshrike, but I‘m not so sure…

Good morning Bluesky ☀️ Today‘s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #walking, & the alternative theme is #BirdinaBush. Most of my walking bird photos are pigeons, so instead I have a very orbular robin in a bush for my post today 😊🪶

Mistig vanochtend, maar de zon komt er door.

(Foggy this morning, but the sun is shining through.)

#weerfoto #soestdijk #weatherphotography #weatherwatching #zonsopkomst #sunrise #sonnenaufgang #leverdesoleil #amanecer
Vlak voor zonsopkomst, een blik door het keukenraam. De woonwijk is donker, gehuld in mist, en de straatlantaarns branden. De mist is roze door de zonsopkomst maar daarboven is de lucht blauw, met een paar vliegtuigstrepen. Just before sunrise, a glimpse through the kitchen window. The neighborhood is dark, shrouded in fog, and the streetlights are on. The fog is pink from the sunrise, but above it, the sky is blue, with a few airplane trails. Wat later, nog steeds mistig, maar nu is de zon boven de horizon en door de nevel zichtbaar. A little later, still foggy, but now the sun is above the horizon and visible through the mist. Wat ingezoomd en gezien door een ander raam. Mistige woonwijk, de zon in nevelen gehuld en een houtduif die voorbij komt zwieren. Zoomed in a bit and seen through another window. A foggy residential area, the sun shrouded in mist, and a wood pigeon swooping by.

It's #MountainMonday and #BlueskyMonday. This image was made last May in a #photography workshop in #banffnationalpark. I spent several days discovering the beauty of the Icefields Parkway. I'm going back in October this year to discover more. #landscape #moutains #Canada #Alberta #canadianrockies
