Surf en Aveiro.
Portugal.

La imagen en blanco y negro muestra a un surfista montando una ola. El surfista, con traje de neopreno, se encuentra de pie sobre la tabla mientras la ola rompe detrás de él, generando espuma y salpicaduras en el agua. El mar ocupa la mayor parte de la escena, transmitiendo movimiento y dinamismo.

The Crowd on Pana

A huge crowd gathered around a man on stilts holding 3 flaming torches on St. Patrick Street, Cork in 2006. See how homogeneous the crowd is? A similar photo today would show a much more diverse set of people in modern Ireland.

#2006

Photograph of a large crowd gathered on St. Patrick Street in Cork city centre in June 2006, watching a street performer on stilts (a fire breather) elevated above the crowd. The scene shows hundreds of spectators forming a circle around the performer, with people sitting and standing on the wide pavement. Visible storefronts include the yellow Savoy building with "Quills EST 1939" signage, Dunnes Stores with its green front, and colourful Georgian buildings in yellow, orange, cream and white. A Securicor vehicle and city bus are visible in the background. Dramatic cloudy sky overhead contrasts with sunlight illuminating the crowd. People wear casual summer clothing including a white Nike Air hoodie and FC Barcelona "Ronaldinho" jersey.

In the image, a squirrel is perched on a tree trunk in what appears to be a park setting. The squirrel's body is oriented towards the bottom side of the frame, and it seems to be looking down at something below. Its tail is visible as well, adding to its endearing appearance. The squirrel holds something in its hands and trying to eat, while gripping onto the vertical surface with only its feet. The background reveals more trees and foliage, creating an impression of depth and natural surroundings.

Bridge Jumping Season

Photograph of a group of people in swimwear gathered on an old stone bridge in County Kilkenny, Ireland on a sunny summer day. Two shirtless men in swim shorts (one red/pink, one navy blue) stand on top of the stone parapet wall preparing to jump into the river below. A woman in an orange top and floral swim shorts leans over the wall alongside a child in a red and white striped top. Other children and young people in swimwear watch or prepare nearby, with one boy climbing the wall. Flip-flops and towels are scattered on the road surface. Traditional Irish stone buildings with slate and terracotta roofs are visible in the background under a blue sky with light clouds.

When the rare Irish sun decides to grace Graiguenamanagh with its presence, the locals know exactly what to do: head straight for the old stone bridge over the River Barrow.

At least it was in the summer of 2013. I doubt they’re doing it today, in the middle of December.

Earlier in the year we went to and it rained.

A very famous scene at Stourhead, photographed from under a tree near the entrance to the walk around the lake. Front left, a bridge, with the central lake extending though 5 visible arches to the narrower inflow in the bottom left corner. In the distance a temple modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, the lake before it, and trees and then sky beyond it. There's a grassy slope in the right foreground, and rain is visible on the water surface.

Big Generator: Cobh’s Night Electric

Live music performance photograph showing the band Big Generator performing on an outdoor stage with blue and purple LED lighting and overhead metal truss rig, featuring band members with guitars and vocals, a silhouetted audience in the foreground, and period architecture of Cobh visible in the background under evening light.

Big Generator rocked Cobh last August during the Cobh People’s Regatta. They played in the band stand in the park and even later in the evening after the fireworks there was a large crowd dancing and enjoying the music! Look out for them as they play around the country.

The image captures a cluster of white flowers hanging against a dark background which appears to be outdoors. The lighting is dim and seems natural, highlighting only parts of the plant while leaving others in shadow, creating a contrast that accentuates the delicate structure of the blossoms. There's no visible context or story beyond this close-up depiction, but it does suggest an environment where such flora might thrive during certain seasons.

The lighting is dim and seems natural, highlighting only parts of the plant while leaving others in shadow, creating a contrast that accentuates the delicate structure of the blossoms.

Flower Gallery II – the Magic of Wizard

Flowers in summer. This is the magic of this universe. True floral magic. Which reveals itself in all its glory. On par with the magic of green. Green is a magical color. And an important one. But today you are in a flower gallery. Another passage. And new flowers

Summer. Such a green and beautiful time. Everything is blooming. And all around, there are different flowers. Among the greenery, there's something unusual – flowers. The grass is green. Such a beautiful and pleasant color. Calm and cheerful. And the flowers. So different. And sometimes, unusual.

The image captures a group of teenagers gathered in an outdoor setting, possibly during the day given the natural light. The central focus is on five people standing and sitting around each other. Starting from the leftmost side, there's a boy wearing black t-shirt and black jeans, seated on what appears to be a bench, holding onto a white helmet with both hands. Next to him seats another boy in white t-shirt and gray pants, holding what could be a phone. Next to them stands another person wearing a black t-shirt adorned with vibrant red and yellow graphics, possibly depicting mushrooms. Next there is a girl dressed casually in a white t-shirt, beige shorts and white cap. On the right side, there is an boy, he's adjusting his sunglasses given, and he's also is wearing a helmet for protection. The helmets worn by some individuals hint at recent participation in some sports activities. The backdrop of this scene includes various parked cars and trees.

A wooden dock extends into the water, providing access to the boats. The sky is clear and blue, suggesting a bright and sunny day. In the background, there are more trees visible, adding depth to the scene.

Jour 28 du Cartober : Ton souvenir préféré

Difficile à choisir, j'en ai plusieurs, mais c'est celui d'avoir vu une mer de nuages en vacances d'été en Savoie qui m'est venu assez vite !
(Le paysage n'était pas celui-là, c'est plutôt une recréation.)

~30mn, Aquarelles, B8/ATC

Une carte représentant un paysage montagnard, dont les vallées sont remplies de brume formant comme une mer de nuages avec les sommets apparaissant comme des îles ; une barrière délabrée en bois sépare la caméra du vide.

Open window on a warm day, with a comfortable chair positioned to enjoy a breathtaking sea view. Bright sunlight illuminates the azure water and lush coastal vegetation. Curtains on either side of the window sway gently in the sea breeze, creating a relaxing atmosphere and inviting one to immerse in the tranquility of the Mediterranean landscape. Golden sunlight reflects on the tiled floor, emphasizing the warmth and serenity of the setting. The scene evokes a sense of peaceful contemplation and holiday relaxation

Photojournalist Harmon Li captured this "cute" photo of me, while we were on assignment for @TexasObserver at Barking Springs. I wrote about a "takeover" day that took place about a month after a brutal hate incident at the swimming hole in July. Look for the story and photos in the Postcard feature in the November/December 2025 print issue, and online soon.

Standing in front of the waters of Barking Springs, Kit O'Connell is wearing a pink crop top with the word "Cute" in a sparkly, dripping heart (from Austin's Cute Nail Studio) and blue swim trunks with red crabs. Their long brown hair is a bit messy, a semicolon tattoo is visible on their left arm and they're wearing red and purple cats eye glasses.

Auf dem Bild sieht man eine schwarz-weiße Aufnahme einer Gartenszene. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein runder, schwarzer Pool, der auf einer Decke auf dem Rasen steht und mit Wasser gefüllt ist. Darüber spannt sich ein helles Sonnensegel, auf dem sich ein Schatten abzeichnet: die Silhouette einer Katze, die oben auf der Plane entlangläuft. Der Körper, der buschige Schwanz und sogar die Schnurrhaare der Katze sind durch den Schatten deutlich erkennbar. Im Hintergrund wachsen Büsche und Bäume, rechts ist ein Zaun sowie ein Gebäude sichtbar. Durch das Licht entsteht ein starker Kontrast, der die Szene fast surreal wirken lässt – besonders durch die Katze, die wie schwebend über dem Pool erscheint.

#photography #myphoto #travelphotography #Travel #France #Frankreich #etretat #sea #beach #summer #silentsunday
Das Schwarz-Weiß-Foto zeigt eine Küstenlandschaft mit markanten, zerfurchten Felsen im Vordergrund. Die Oberfläche der Steine wirkt unregelmäßig, von Dellen und Beulen durchzogen, und zeigt eine raue, vom Meer geformte Struktur. Links im Bild ragt eine imposante Felsformation mit einem natürlichen Bogen ins Bild hinein. Im rechten Hintergrund ist eine einzelne Person zu sehen, die aufrecht steht, eine helle Hose trägt und die Hand an die Stirn legt, als würde sie in die Ferne blicken oder sich vor der Sonne schützen. Der Himmel ist gleißend hell und überstrahlt, wodurch die Silhouette der Person und die dunkleren Felsen besonders kontrastreich hervortreten.

The bridges over the Forth are very photogenic at any time of day, but at dusk as a sunset starts, the bridge lights up and I think I managed to catch a pretty good shot.

A dusky sunset starts behind the bridges on the Forth, north of Edinburgh. The new bridge's lights had just come on helping to give definition to the new structure behind the classic forth rail bridge

Meditative moments for a mermaid?

The sun has set, leaving a fiery orange sky fading upwards to celestial blue; this is reflected in an almost perfectly calm sea. All terrestrial features are reduced to solid black: the shore, a reef, the island of Mull across the Firth of Lorn. On the jetty above the beach, a figure, leaning back.on her arms, sits and watches the sky reveal its glories...

A June Day At The Lake ...

A June Day At The Lake ... Sunlight filters through the leaves of tall trees, casting dappled shadows on a lush, green landscape beside a serene lake at Caledonia State Park in Fayetteville, PA. Soft hues of pink and yellow wildflowers contrast with the vibrant greens and blues, capturing the essence of a tranquil and idyllic June day. Located between Gettysburg and Chambersburg within view of the northern Blue Ridge Mountain System, Caledonia State Park is a lovely spot to picnic, canoe and hike, and just take in the beauty of the day. Lovely in all seasons of the year. A June Day At The Lake is a spring / summer version of a previously uploaded image, "Autumn Grove," which is also available in my collections here. This image was hand painted, digitally, in Corel Painter, the Wacom Tablet and Art Pen using one of my own exclusive photos (not from stock or public domain) as a starting point.

The image depicts a field of wheat with a focus on the golden-brown stalks in the foreground. The wheat appears mature, with the heads of grain prominently visible, suggesting it is ready for harvest. Interspersed among the wheat are vibrant red poppy flowers, which stand out against the golden backdrop. The poppies are in full bloom, with their delicate petals and dark centers clearly visible. The background is slightly blurred, emphasizing the wheat and poppies in the foreground. The overall color palette is warm, dominated by shades of gold and red, with the green of the wheat stalks providing a subtle contrast. The image captures the natural beauty of a wheat field during the harvest season, with the poppies adding a touch of color and life to the scene.

The image features a close-up view of a pink flower, likely a hibiscus, with its petals fully open, showcasing a vibrant pink hue with a slightly darker center. The flower is surrounded by green leaves with serrated edges, some of which are illuminated by sunlight, creating a glowing effect. The background is softly blurred, revealing a natural setting with trees and a building structure, suggesting an outdoor environment. The sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a warm, golden light on the flower and creating a serene atmosphere. The focus is on the flower, with the background elements providing context without detracting from the main subject.

As our home repair project stretches inexplicably into a second year I realize that one day I’m going to miss our stripey phase, in which my wife and her sisters tried and rejected various color schemes last summer. June 19, 2025. Wolverine Lake, .

Photograph of a small two story brown house with stripes of various colors in the background. There is a lake in the background. The house is flanked on either side by much larger houses that tower over it, but hey, we’re mostly looking out at the lake not at the walls of our neighbors’ houses. Also, please take a moment to appreciate the spectacular rose bush in the front of the red front door to the left of the house. The rose bush is a carpet of red roses surrounding by white flowers from the ground cover. It’s overgrown and my wife frets that it’s a mess, but, man, that is some rose bush!

Just finished the blog post from our walk recently. Actually ... I didn'T think there would be ANY interesting motives around .. meadows, houses, trees, bright sun.

But then I thought about the people I know on Mastodon and Instagram and tried to see the area through YOUR eyes. You, who very likely don't know this area as much as I do - what could be interesting for YOU, not for me?

The blog post: franzgraf.de/blog/2025/finding

In this stunning image, we see a picturesque scene of a field of flowers with a house in the distance. The foreground is dominated by a lush field of green grass with white flowers scattered throughout. A lone tree stands tall in the center, adding a touch of nature to the landscape. In the background, we can see a mountain range stretching across the horizon under a clear blue sky. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity, with the small white building with a red roof adding a charming touch to the rural setting. This image perfectly captures the beauty of nature in its purest form.

When it is really hot out, it can be hard to finish a painting before it dries! One way to fix that is to paint smaller- each of these paintings is less than 2x2 inches!

For more ideas of how to paint in hot & dry weather, read my 2 part series:

Different types of weather affect your painting- even if you work inside!

To further enrich local , we managed to drag ourselves away from frivolities long enough to plant out a few more .

On the theme of , we’ve adopted our winged friends’ philosophy: there’s no such thing as too much colour!

Grevillea Bon Accord (Grevillea johnsonii x wilsonii 'Bon Accord') Native medium-large flowering shrub with nectar-rich vibrant red-pink flowers, which form in winter and bloom through spring and early summer. Leaves are long, fine and slender, bronze when new. It is a hybrid of west coast and east coast species, which gives it more resilience and adaptability to different climates. Their nectar-rich flowers are excellent for attracting birds and butterflies. Image source: The Nerdy Gardener

Grevillea Yamba Sunshine (Proteaceae – Spider Flower) Large, soft yellow flower spikes appear throughout the year, attracting native wildlife, bees, nectar-eating birds and butterflies. This tough native shrub to small tree is drought and frost tolerant. Native Australian birds, especially Lorikeets, absolutely love it. An ideal plant for supporting a variety of wildlife.

Blueberry Ash - Elaeocarpus Prima Donna (Elaeocarpus reticulatus Sm.) Masses of small pinkish flowers are arranged in rows along the branchlets of this large coastal bush or small rainforest tree. Their fruit is a stunning shade of bright blue, resembling small olives. They attract birds like the Regent Bowerbird that collect them for their blue colour. Other birds that eat these fruits are Wonga Pigeons, Crimson Rosellas, Figbirds, White Headed Pigeons and Olive-backed Orioles. Image source: Darinyun

Green Shell Ginger (Alpinia zerumbet upright form) This tall, upright subtropical understory plant has large deep green leaves and pink and white bicolour shell-like flowers with golden centres. In full bloom, the inside of the flower is a fiery explosion of hot red and electric yellow. These especially beautiful flowers are pollinated by bees, birds and fruit bats. Highly aromatic, the blooms are also used for essential oils. Image Source: Katie Hess, flower alchemist

We live under the flight path of wildlife traveling between native forests in . At midsummer, these creatures are all very busy feeding on, pollinating, propagating (through excreting seeds), and regenerating not only the great native forests, but many private gardens.

Why not give your local native birds and wildlife a gift for #2024 by planning now to plant edible native flowers, shrubs and trees wherever you live. Or find a Bush Regeneration group to work with on local public lands.

Before long, Value will become a measurable contribution to the value of both public and privately owned land, including yours. It’s the beautiful gift you give to yourself, your children’s children, our wildlife, and the planet.

Midsummer Visitors #1 Flying-Fox, (suborder Yinpterochiroptera) a genus of megabats (also known as fruit bats) are the largest members of the bat family. They are nomadic mammals that travel across large areas of Australia, feeding on native blossoms and fruits, spreading seeds and pollinating native plants. They feed mainly at night on nectar, pollen and fruit and will also feed on flowering and fruiting plants in gardens and orchards. They are vital to the health and regeneration of Australian native forests because they can transport pollen over vast distances and are also able to disperse larger seeds. Flying-fox mothers typically give birth to one baby every year. Newborns are entirely dependent on their mothers in the first few months of life. They cling to her when she flies out from camp to feed at night. Of the tree flying-fox species found in NSW (Black, Little Red and Grey-headed), the Grey-headed flying-fox is the most vulnerable species because it competes with humans for prime coastal habitat along the south-east Queensland, NSW and Victorian coasts. A young brownish flying fox hangs upside down feeding on nectar amongst the yellow fluffy flowers of a gum tree in summer bloom.

Festive Midsummer Resident #2 Native Frangipani (Hymenosporum flavum), a rainforest tree native to New South Wales, Queensland and New Guinea. Their highly fragrant flowers (similar to plumeria) attract native birds, bees and butterflies. A cluster of five-petalled native frangipani blossoms, shades ranging from creamy white to yellow to pale orange, are seen against a green leafy background.

Midsummer Visitors #3 The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) is a large white parrot. It has a dark grey-black bill, a distinctive sulphur-yellow crest and a yellow wash on the underside of the wings. Sexes are similar, although the female can be separated at close range by its red-brown eye (darker brown in the male). This is a noisy and conspicuous cockatoo, both at rest and in flight. They feed on Berries, seeds, nuts, and fruit, and live long lives of between 40 – 100 years. An adult cockatoo with wings outstretched feeds a younger family member as they perch together on the mottled grey trunk of a gum tree.
