Crimson sunset in Greenland…
And yes, that’s from same sunset as last posts 😉.

Already (pre)ordered, looking forward to have it in my hands

Tall storm clouds hang over a forested lakeshore. A small patch of sunlight illuminates trees on the left while the lake lies dark and calm below.

A line of turquoise rowboats tied to a wooden dock on a quiet lake, with dark, brooding clouds and forested shores in the background.

A small tree-covered island sits on a mirror-still lake, perfectly reflected in the water. Heavy gray clouds loom above.

Teijo National Park delivered four seasons in an afternoon—storm fronts, brief shafts of light, and mirror-calm water. Chasing clouds and waiting for those small, quiet moments. #Finland #TeijoNationalPark #LandscapePhotography #NikonZ6 #Cloudscapes #Reflections

A happy book says: I'm so proud you chose me as your holiday read! I can't wait to start entertaining you! A smiling drink says: And I'm right here! Ready to keep you cool and refreshed while you read! A gleeful phone adds: Yay! So great! How about we kick things off with a load of the same old rubbish you always look at, plus some gloomy news and mavbe a few emails from work!! Hours later... The drink and book lie untouched. The phone is out of view but a bubble reads: Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll The book says “I hate that guy.”

Well, chatgpt kindly asked me if I want it to refered to as Lex from now on, so I guess it's up to the user 😉

And just to clarify, both chatgpt and gemini explained their reasoning very well.

And I asked google gemini the same question, what it would call chatgpt. The short answer was Aura, and for a more human name, Caelan or Alex (which chatgpt also mentioned).

Just for fun, I asked chatgpt what name it would give itself. The short answer was Lex as in lexicon. I pointed out that people could possibly see a megalomaniac like Lex Luthor, so chatgpt suggested (among others) Nova. For a human name, it suggested Eli, Nora, Leo, Clara and Max.

The winner of this week's #ShareMondays2025 is @sarahlonges.bsky.social with this fantastic shot. I'm a big fan of Sarah's foxy images which have their own unique & characteristic style. This one is very special - beautiful with a real story. I was gripped immediately. Congrats & over to you Sarah!

A cloud lit with warm light from the sunset. In front, an old fence around an abandoned industrial lot.

Like the grass, clouds are always brighter on the other side of the fence... or something. #cloud #urbanlandscape #photography #sunset

Two old television sets stacked on an old washing machine in a local second-hand shop run by the Red Cross, probably from the early 1970s or late 1960s.

Vintage vibes at the second-hand shop. Two old tv:s stacked on a washing machine (I think). #vintage #retro #secondhand #oldstuff #television #washer

I thought the worst thing about it was the ridiculous hyper-airbrushed texture we’ve come to expect from this nonsense technology and then I saw the actual full ad and apparently this fake woman made of environmental ruin and stolen art is about eight feet tall

A screenshot of the iceberger website where you can draw you own iceberg and see how it floats. There's a picture of one with a little bit out of the top of the water.

If you enjoyed the draw a fish thing, you'll probably like this too - draw an iceberg and see how it floats!

Or it could be a late 1960s model. the ink "windows" are round instead of the typical oblong ones.

Trying to find out how old this pen actually is. There are no other engravings than "Lamy ratio" and something that looks like an 8 at the end. The instructions only say it's a Lamy 27, but there are multiple 27 models. It could be a 1970 model, as the "clip" on the cap is slightly tapered.

A vintage Lamy ratio fountain pen, dark brown, resting on its original yellowed cardboard box, which features an illustration of the pen. Below the box is a folded guarantee slip. In the background, on a white notebook, the words "WOW LAMY STILL WORKING" are written in blue ink, with the pen uncapped beside them. The image shows the pen, box, guarantee, and a handwritten note.

Found my father-in-law's Lamy ratio fountain pen, likely from the 1950s! It came with a "5-year guarantee" – what nonsense! A little warm water and it's writing perfectly, probably with ink from the 1960s. Still working like a charm. #Lamy #VintagePen #FountainPen #StillWorking #QualityBuild

Nice and inspiring as always. What do you call your style? Is it steampunk? Steamboatpunk? Flying steamboatpunk?

A marina filled with sailboats in the foreground, with Meyer Turku’s giant shipyard cranes looming in the background under moody evening light.

A close-up of the top decks of Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas, featuring colorful water slides, twin funnels, and the cruise line’s signature crown-and-anchor logo.

The rear section of Star of the Seas showing an elevated water park, observation deck, and a yellow construction crane in the background.

Two massive blue-and-yellow gantry cranes at Meyer Turku shipyard, marked with 'Konecranes' and 'Meyer Turku' logos, rising sharply against a dark sky.

Meyer Turku’s shipyard in Turku, just next to Raisio, builds some of the world’s biggest cruise ships. I caught a glimpse of the newly completed Star of the Seas under brooding skies. #Turku #Raisio #MeyerTurku #CruiseShips #IndustrialPhotography #NikonZ6 #KoneCranes

Every bunny was kung fu fiiiiightiiiing 🎵🎶

A panoramic view across a lake with a forested horizon. Massive clouds in various shapes and densities create a theatrical sky stretching across the frame.

A wide view over a calm lake with dense forest in the background. Above, swirling clouds stretch across the sky in layered formations.

A gravel path curves through a lush green area, leading toward dense trees and a powerful buildup of storm clouds. The sky glows softly behind the darker masses.

Towering cumulus clouds rise above a flat field bordered by trees. The dramatic cloudscape dominates the vertical frame, giving a sense of looming weather.

Cloud chasing again—this time in Hauninen, Raisio. I never get tired of watching the sky transform into something sculptural and surreal. The clouds always steal the show. #Finland #Raisio #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Landscape #Cloudscapes #NikonZ6 #StormLight

A common sandpiper standing on a lichen-covered branch against a soft green background. The bird is slightly turned to the right, with delicate lighting highlighting its plumage.

A common sandpiper on a sunlit rock, with blurred green grass and wildflowers in the background. The bird appears calm and alert in the evening light.

A reed bunting perched on a swaying reed stem in a golden-lit marsh, surrounded by tall grasses and tiny insects glowing in the air.

A pied flycatcher resting on a thin branch in a forest clearing, with dappled sunlight illuminating the bird and surrounding leaves.

Birdwatching in Raisio gave me a few quiet but beautiful moments—waders balancing on rocks, a bunting glowing in golden reeds, and a flycatcher pausing in a patch of light. Just enough light, just enough luck. #Finland #BirdPhotography #NikonZ6 #Raisio #NatureMoments #SpringBirding
