Mein - vielleicht - bestes Foto 2025

#holgersfotos #fotovorschlag #photosuggestion #foto #fotografie #photo #photography

Blick von der Rialtobrücke in Venedig über den Canal Grande hin zu einigen Restaurants und Gondeln. Es ist Nacht, die Szene wird von wenigen Lampen an Häusern, Fenstern und den Außenbereichen der Restaurants erleuchtet.

A long overdue #Introduction.

I take #CreativeCommons photographs (Mostly of #Nature) which I contribute to #WikimediaCommons and when appropriate also to #iNaturalist. I've uploaded over 20,000 photos to #Wikimedia and over 12,000 observations to #iNat (of more than 3,000 species).

I only post my own photos on this account (all of which are #CCBYSA) and make occasional posts about Wikimedia and iNat.

A photo looking down a hill at the city of Oslo. The Oslofjord is visible in the distance. There are many green trees and the sky is filled with hazy clouds.

Cabin life

Nothing to do. Just waiting for tea and watching the light go down.

#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday
#forest #photography

Photograph of the dark interior of a cabin, showing a small rectangular window through which a green coniferous tree is visible and in focus. To the right of the window is a two-shelf, rough hewn wooden shelf, out of focus, on which are stacks of plates, glasses, cups, and a pile of linens. Cooking utensils hang on the side of the shelf. The rest of the cottage is in darkness.

Cabin life, moments later

Nothing to do. Just drinking tea and deciding it's time to light a candle.

#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday
#forest #lake #photography

Photograph of the dark interior of a cabin, showing a large rectangular window through which a landscape of mountain, lake and forest is visible and out of focus. Below the window are hunting gun cleaning tools, with a clear plastic bottle, a rectangular container, and a plastic bag, all in focus. The rest of the cottage is in darkness.

#bloomscrolling #flowers #monochrome #blackandwhite #macro #photography

Black and white macro photograph of yarrow flowers, still open in October, composed of very small flowers in the centre and single-petaled flowers around the edges. None of the flowers are really in focus and some are blurred behind, with stems and foliage, giving a sense of movement.

#trees #autumn #fallcolors #autumnvibes #peaceful #birch #forest #road #photography

Photograph of a dirt road, partially covered in fallen orange leaves, bordered on either side by tall birch trees with very white trunks, which contrast with the yellow foliage still at their tops and with the smaller green conifers behind them. A cloudy white sky is visible through their canopy. This soft colour combination is my favourite of autumn.

Early morning tranquility on the Okavango Delta…

#WildLife #WildLifePhotography #Photography #Leopard #BigCats #Botswana #Africa #CatsOfMastodon #Travel

A very beautiful leopard lounges gracefully very high up on a large tree branch looking up to a clear blue sky, its tail curling elegantly. The scene conveys the tranquility and beauty of the leopard on a very early quiet morning on the Okavango Delta in Botswana

A sleepy winter town nestled in a sleepy winter valley. All is dusted with snow. There's a touch of mist rising on the hills.

A narrow rural road stretching straight ahead between winter fields, with green grass on one side and bare soil on the other, lined by utility poles and overhead wires under a clear pale blue sky.

Black and white photograph of dead grasses and wildflowers partially covered by snow, their stems encased in ice, at the edge of a snow-covered field. In the background, at the edge of the field, the dark forest is barely visible through the mist.

Photographie noir et blanc d'herbes et de fleurs sauvages mortes partiellement recouvertes par la neige, les tiges recouvertes de glace, aux abords d'un champ enneigé. En arrière-plan, en lisière du champ, la sombre forêt est à peine visible à travers la brume.

#blackandwhite #macro #icetodon #bloomscrolling #photography

A black and white macro photograph of a dried hydrangea flower seen from the side, showing the thick layer of ice covering it, two frozen water droplets clinging to two petals and glistening in the sun. In the background, other flowers and branches are blurred and intertwined.

Photographie macro en noir et blanc d'une fleur séchée d'hortensia vue de côté, montrant l'épaisse couche de verglas qui la recouvre, deux gouttes d'eau gelées accrochées à deux pétales et brillant au soleil. En arrière-plan, d'autres fleurs et des branches sont floues et s'entremêlent.

Photograph of the frozen surface of a river, the water opaque and whitish with a brownish tint. Very white ice crystals have formed on the surface. In the foreground, blurred, tree branches descend into the image.

Small gems to be found in a frozen cedar I

#monochrome #blackandwhite #macro #macrophotography #icetodon #trees #photography

Black and white macro photograph of ice on the surface of cedar leaf scales. The leaf resembles an insect with two open wings, and the ice forms a kind of shiny and translucent cape spread on its back.

Photographie macro en noir et blanc de glace sur la surface des écailles d'une feuille de cèdre. La feuille ressemble à un insecte avec deux ailes ouvertes, et la glace forme une sorte de cape brillante et translucide sur son dos.

#SilentSunday
#blackandwhite #monochrome #trees #winter #photography

Black and white photograph of a rural and misty winter landscape, with snow-covered fields, a tree stripped of leaves and isolated in the foreground contrasting against the white snow, and a forest edge behind, which disappears into the greyish sky and mist.

Photographie noir et blanc d'un paysage rural et brumeux en hiver, avec des champs couverts de neige, un arbre dédudé de feuilles et isolé à l'avant-plan contrastant sur la neuge blanche, et une lisière de forêt derrière, qui se perd dans le ciel et la brume grisâtres.

The Linux project continues.

Bonus learning: you'd think older machines would struggle, but I've seen no post-install h/w issues on my 13-year-old MacBook Pro: wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, screen, touchpad, keyboard, speakers...

I suspect age is a benefit to a point, the Linux community having had more time to solve things, subverting Apple's planned obsolescence and urge to sell more regardless of environmental impact.

Here's a pic to celebrate.
