Old fool (me, not you) despairing of what humans are doing to each other and the planet. Photographer (pics mine unless stated), animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, books (recommendations welcome). I live in Denmark 🇩🇰 Where do we go from here..?

Black and white photograph of a narrow European street with two figures at different distances, one seated in shadow and another standing in a patch of light, connected by a gently curving cobblestone road.

Different rhythms. Same light.

It's been an amazing month of bird outings for me, including 5 birds I've never photographed before. But I'm going to pick this Great Egret, a bird I see nearly every day, as my favorite photo for February. He was just so beautiful.

I just found this old picture (30 years ago?) of me and my dog watching my daughters play hockey. It’s not doctored - the dog liked to watch as much as I did..
