          Since the pandemic nyc has managed a lot more outdoor restaurant seating. With the summer in full bloom these umbrellas are necessary

          A color photo taken of Broadway between 25th and 26th St. several blocks around this area have been blocked off to cars. It makes the area much nicer. The bottom of the photo shows many tables with the traditional woven outside chairs that you often see in Europe. It's early so the tables are all still empty. In between the tables are four white and yellow striped umbrella/awnings. Behind that is a great number of bright green trees. The top half of the photo shows two thin giant skyscrapers shooting out from behind the trees on the left. A lower skyscraper is next to them in the middle of the photo. There's a very blue sky with a few white clouds lower down.

                  Another scorching day, so waited until the evening to go for my 48km ride – out before sunset, back after.

                  Of course, it wasn’t that much cooler even then, so it was a hot, sweaty one – it would have been much better to go out early in the day, soon after sunrise.

                  Watching the football last night was not compatible with that plan, however 🤷‍♂️

                  See if you can spot Venus (twice 🙂) in the second picture 👍

                  A view along the Neckar river from the bridge in Ziegelhausen towards the west and Heidelberg soon after sunset. The sky is blue with orange near the horizon between the valley sides. There are street lights, houses, and cars on either side of the valley. The river is still and if you look carefully you can make out the reflection of Venus, also visible in the sky above.

                        Went for a nice paddle today on a local lake. Perfect conditions— just enough wind to cool us off from the heat. The turtles were out in force taking in the sun on their logs around the entire perimeter. A very enjoyable experience!

The sun is a bright golden yellow blob starting to descend towards that horizon. From a fissured gray rock outcrop atop a mountain, we are looking out at a scene of mostly forest with a couple of clusters of buildings. A few tufts of tall grass grow through a few of the fissures in the rock. A forest of cedar and hardwoods rings the edge of the outcrop, but does not block the views. The flank of a nearby peak facing us has impressive rock cliffs. Beyond that is a narrow valley and several long, flattish-topped wooded ridges running along the horizon. A rounded knob to our left has a cluster of larger buildings on top.

This impressive cannon, at Fort Point, has a green copper barrel pointed in the direction of the photographer (moi). It also has rusted metal mounts fastening the cannon barrel to a yellow painted wooden axle. On each side, the axle is supported by giant rusted metal wheels with yellow painted spokes. 

The cannon sits in a splash of sunlight. The old brick fort behind the cannon is hidden in shade.

Oh, and about those gonads... those are metal, lidded tar buckets that used to hold grease to lubricate the wooden axle. They dangle from chains at the center of the axle. Long story but they remind me of my friend Florian.

The sky darkens and the city lights come on. From left to right: the Concorde Hotel, Building G, the Hilton Hotel, the Château Frontenac, the Price Building, and the Canada Post building. Just below, along the cliff, the city fortifications are illuminated. Below, near the river, are the Lower Town and the Louis-Jolliet ferry.

Le ciel s'assombrit et les lumières de la ville s'allument. De gauche à droite, le Concorde, l'édifice G, l'hôtel Hilton, le Château Frontenac, l'édifice Price et l'édifice de Postes Canada. Juste en dessous le long de la falais, les fortifications de la ville sont illuminées. En bas près du fleuve, la Basse-Ville et le traversier Louis-Jolliet.

A prominent, vertical ribbon of white sea foam stretches down the center-right of the frame. It is packed with translucent, clustered bubbles of varying sizes, catching the sunlight and casting soft shadows onto the wet sand beneath it. Several shells and pebbles are scattered across the scene.

                                                              Hashtags in the Fediverse: You don't need to put them everywhere! 😉


                                                              "The more hashtags I use, the more people will see my post!"

                                                              In reality... it's not that simple. 😄

                                                              A hashtag isn't just decoration. It's a way to categorize your post so that people following or searching for that topic can discover it.

                                                              As the official Mastodon documentation explains:

                                                              "You can use a hashtag to make your post discoverable to anyone searching for that hashtag."

                                                              In other words, every hashtag should have a purpose.

                                                              Here's a fun example:

                                                              You post a photo of your cat sleeping peacefully on the couch.

                                                              Do you really need something like this?

                                                              🤯

                                                              Probably not. 😅

                                                              Instead, something as simple as:

                                                              already describes your post perfectly and helps the right people find it.

                                                              The goal isn't to use the most hashtags—it's to use the right ones.

                                                              Hashtags are designed to connect people with shared interests, not to turn your post into a wall of keywords. 😉

Each flower resembles a little piglet, with a round nose, small black eyes, and pink ears.

Each flower has five rounded, hollow, and very smooth pink petals, a black dot between each petal, and a whitish center with a pink star pattern. Each flower resembles a little piglet, with a round nose, small black eyes, and pink ears.

The fly has well-separated large bronze compound eyes, with the red ocelli visible between. The face is covered in golden hairs.

The individual tergites are separated by light cream bands. The legs are black and yellow, while the wings are clear.

                                                                                                  I've dabbled in most genres and had a short semi-professional stint, but in recent years I've settled on capturing the beauty of nature. I have developed a penchant for bad weather and less than ideal light - there's an abundance of both here.

                                                                                                  I'd describe my approach as "digital old school", meaning I try to get my images right in-camera.

                                                                                                  Hope to brighten (or sometimes darken) your days with my images.

                                                                                                  Wide angle landscape image. In the foreground we see a formation of three large rocks embedded in the ground, partly covered with moss. To the right, a leafless tree rises with its branches extending towards the center of the frame. Both rocks and tree are dark, almost silhouettes against the sky. The sky is a pale blue, with dark clouds moving in from the left, covering the sun in the center. Further in the background we see a forested range of hills.
