Suddenly there came a tapping...
#Halloween #EdgarAllanPoe

partially obscured by dark swirling clouds, a glowing moon is illuminated through bare tree branches in a dark forest, creating a mysterious haunting atmosphere.

For this gate night,
the moon’s spooky vibe from earlier this evening.
What is the moon asking of the giant tree in the deep, dark forest?
🧛🏼‍♂️🌚

The moon is my mother. She is not sweet like Mary.
Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls.

Happy Halloween from a spooky Glastonbury Tor.

On a woodland trail, autumn, there are several large beech trees on the left and a birch on the right. The trunks and branches of the trees seem to form a circle ahead. Wales, UK.

The sun coming up over the Thompson River, in the interior of British Columbia. The sky is bright orange with several clouds, and the mountains and trees look black against the sunrise. There’s a mirror image reflecting on the water.

Oberkörper eines rotbraunen Eichhörnchens, ausgerichtet zur rechten Bildseite, steht auf den Hinterläufen, nach vorn gebeugt, und stützt sich mit einer Vorderpfote auf eine höher gelegene Baumscheibe. Die andere Vorderpfote hängt in der Luft. Das Eichhörnchen trägt kurze braune Ohrpinsel. Der Hintergrund ist grün mit Lichtpunkten.

So, was für einen Blödsinn kann ich denn heute mal anstellen.

Fungi growing in a woodland, it looks remarkably like zombie fingers reaching up from the ground

When in the woods, best beware of dead man's fingers lurking there.
Reaching up above the ground, a creepy fungi to be found.

Happy Halloween everyone.

Photo by z f. Two cups of coffee rest on a wooden table facing the open sea. A row of wooden posts lines the edge of the deck, framing calm waves beneath a wide, fading sky—gold melting into blue as the sun slips away. The scene holds the quiet pause of shared stillness at dusk.

Good teas make time nonlinear. So to speak, it slides, as if sideways.

PHOTO by Finn Semmer. A quiet forest path winds gently between tall, slender trees with smooth, pale trunks. The soft golden light of late afternoon filters through the canopy, casting long, delicate shadows across the dirt trail. The trees stand close together, their vertical forms creating a natural corridor that draws the eye toward the distant green glow beyond. There is stillness in the scene, touched only by the interplay of light and the quiet presence of nature.

To find the path, stop looking—let the path find you.

A woodland path cuts between two realms: on the left, sunlight streams through open trees, illuminating ferns and grass in a soft green glow; on the right, the forest thickens into shadow, tall trunks closing ranks. The scene feels like a threshold, a crossing point between light and dark, safety and mystery.

The Crossing.

October rain drops on the still water reverberating ripples widening circles over mirror trees and mosaic leaves all tremble and sing

Ein einzelner, knorriger Baum steht auf einer weiten Wiese im Morgennebel. Der Himmel leuchtet in sanften Farben von Orange, Rosa und Blau, während die Sonne kurz nach dem Aufgang den Nebel in goldenes Licht taucht. In der Ferne sind Bäume als Silhouetten zu erkennen, die Landschaft wirkt ruhig und still.

So ein Feiertag ist bei so einer Morgenstimmung praktisch. Statt im Büro war ich auf der Wiese zum fotografieren.

A dramatic sunrise scene where golden light pierces through dark clouds, casting radiant beams across a deepening blue sky. The image evokes a sense of awakening, emotional depth, and quiet grandeur—where shadow and light meet in morning reverence.

Guid mornin’.
