It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light.

Four japanese teenage boys in identical school uniform sitting together on a train, each of them absorbed on mobile phones and oblivious to the outside world visible from the window. Different hand gestures hihghlighted by rays of sun, different head positions or sitting positions, different haircuts and two pairs of glasses bring some interest to that scene.

Glad you like it Karen, thank you.
My photos are not very popular nowadays so grateful for your kind word 🙏

He will be dead before it happens (neurological disease)

January 24, 2026 This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

If you're feeling hopeless, just do one little thing today. Share this link. It might result in someone who has tried hard not to pay attention to do exactly that. Minds CAN be changed. Heather Cox Richardson rounds up everything Americans need to know about what just happened in #minneapolis.

My summer version of it is slightly different 😉

This works for men too: I don't know any who does not like receiving a bunch of flowers

Un artiste de spectacle en gilet rouge au cœur d'une explosion pyrotechnique. L'image montre un mélange dynamique de fumée multicolore, de gerbes d'étincelles dorées et de reflets sur un sol pavé mouillé, créant une atmosphère festive et nocturne.

25. Une fête

A photo captured from a boat, on a canal, in spring. Many trees and wild plants border the shores, green is the dominating colour, with a hint of purple on a tree on the left-hand side.

Another canal, but in the north of France this time , the Hortillonnages

Believe it or not, when I first visited Madeira the road that you can just about see on the cliff was still open and we drove under this waterfall. The road is now closed and a much safer tunnel has replaced it.

Looking down a towpath next to a frozen canal. On the right is an overhanging tree next to a field and on the left is a field. Everything is covered in a blanket of white snow. A man is walking along the path wearing a bright red jacket

When the feared east winds move in, Namibia's coastal dunes are transformed into sublime paintings of blowing sand, windswept planes & barely visible horizons. Don't avoid the storm, go right in, it will reward you greatly.

Three children and an adult venture out on a frozen pond. Kids playing ice hockey on the pond. A bench on the sand on the shoreline. Trees line the water’s edge.

A #cold day scene for #BlueSkyArtShow. A scene from childhood or how you wish it had been? A simpler time or perhaps something you simply imagined. #EastCoastKin #photography #photographersofBlueSky #Tenminutesfromhome #scape #winter #iphonephotography

Hard to find a cold picture in Florida, I found a gorgeous picture for the theme of the day...a beautiful reflective shot, of a winter scene, credit to @pyxelmajick.bsky.social ❄️✨💫

Silhouette of the Eiffel Tower at dusk against an orange and yellow sky, with dark rooftops, chimneys, and an antenna in the foreground, and a small dark balloon in the distance
