A grouping of gangly young birch cling to each other on the riverbank, one has fallen over, it's top branches resting inches deep in the frozen shoreline

HISTORIC
18C at 1200m in The Kazakh highlands.
We are witnessing the most insane event Asia has ever seen.
Tomorrow >26C in Turkmenistan.
Thousands of records will fall from Middle East to Japan.

Out of any imagination. And We are just starting.

Monday feels...

Alpine winter landscape photographed from the mountains above Saint-Vincent looking towards the Lower Aosta Valley. The quote is by Ada Gobetti, journalist, writer, anti-fascist partisan, and activist for women's emancipation and secular education. In the foreground, a snowdrift and a sloping forest. In the background, mountains and a misty valley floor.

I go to the mountains more for the fear of not living than for the fear of dying.
Ada Gobetti (1902-1968)

Happy new week 🍀

I dip my pen
In the pot of this sky
I paint you
on a paper
what name should I give
to this poem?
... you?
Yes , You ...!

Macro shot of a eucalyptus seed pod lying on the ground. It is round and flat on one end, and gently pointed on the other end (not easily seen in this image). The flat, round end has a five-pointed star in the center that is indented. The rest of pod is rough in texture. The ground has bits of wood chips and dirt. Taken at Laguna Lake, San Luis Obispo, California

Good morning @Bluesky 🌟

Einen schönen Montagmorgen und einen schicken Start in die neue Woche wünsche ich euch ☕️

Bin mal gespannt wie die Straßenverhältnisse auf der Heimfahrt gleich sind.

Habe euch heute ein Foto aus dem Archiv mitgebracht

Ein mit Schnee bedeckter Ast einer Tanne.

Guten Morgen 💫🍀☀️

Das Foto zeigt eine Felsentaube im direkten Anflug auf den Betrachter. Der Vogel befindet sich im Tiefflug kurz über einer hellen, metallisch gerippten Oberfläche (vermutlich eine Bank oder ein Gitter). Während der Kopf der Taube mit den markanten orangefarbenen Augen und dem weißlichen Schnabelansatz scharf fokussiert ist, sind die kraftvoll schlagenden Flügel in dynamischer Bewegungsunschärfe eingefangen. Das Gefieder schimmert am Hals typisch violett-grünlich.

Guten Morgen Bluesky 🕊

Schwingen schlagen Wind,
Graues Federkleid im Flug,
Blick starr aufs Ziel hin.

Kommt bitte gut und sicher durch den Montag 🤗🫂🍀

A Subway station in Hamburg is shown in the picture. The picture is very symmetric. On the ground is a chess pattern in black and white. In the middle on the plattform are orange and white supporting pillars. The orange part is shiny. The upper part is white and round.

| HAMBURG UNDERGROUNDS

The Subway stations in Hamburg are aleays kind of special. Well not all, but most of them.
Each Station had an own architect, like this one. The station is called „Meßberg“,and it was designed and built 1960.

Winter trees and a frozen pond in Monochrome

A greyer day in the park but the partially melted ice gave off some pretty cool glassy effects on the water. #Stunday #EastCoastKin #EverydayMono

a frozen pool with some blades of grass poking through. a sunrise cloud is reflected and gives colours of orange and yellow.

These sunflowers were sown on the edge of a field because they were leftover from another field according to the farmer who was driving the tractor you can see in the background of the image. They were a beautuifil sight and added a real splash of colour to the field everytime I drove past.

Something a little different than nature and landscapes today. The stunning bridge, LE shot taken close to sunset on the harbour at Rotterdam.

A dramatic landscape photo of a wide field under a heavy, dark sky. Brilliant golden sunbeams are bursting through a gap in the dark blue and grey clouds, illuminating the horizon behind a silhouetted bare tree. I am walking 100 miles in January for the Chartwell Cancer Trust. Read more about it in the link in my post. Any donation, however small, is so helpful and greatly appreciated 🙏🏼🥰

Yesterday’s Walk
Day 10 - 100 miles in Jan

The sun dips low, the fields exhale,
Soft light spills gold across the way.
With open heart and steady stride,
I walk for hope at close of day.
