Palm trees in Manchester mossy place strolling Национален дворец на културата, Sofia an orthodox church right next to the national university library of Kosovo quite like the way this highway snakes its way through the mountains Ascending on the Sutorman pass Handheld long exposures always lead to such pretty trees Early sunshine near #coords43°00'23"N 17°28'54"E# what a view Crkva sv.

Does this photo contain enough trees to warrant the tree tag? Are the trees given sufficient visual weight? This is a good tree. Another Bantiger View fireplace near Worblaufen Bird Chillin Aare dramatic bird pose Grauholzstrasse it's all about the texture some good atmosphere back when trees had leaves exploring This is the 1000th photo on this website. Note that the photo IDs have reached the number 1000 a while ago already, this is because I don't end up publishing every photo that I upload to this website. Some photos get deleted after some consideration, which means that the actual number of public photos has been dragging behind. Thank you to all my regular visitors, I hope to keep you entertained with the next 1000 photos. 1.3s leaning against some railing needs more haze too cliché? ok so i tried to find that cool spot in the forest again and got a bit lost why film grain if you could just use the rain fav tree not so wide angle By the Burgäschisee What you see in the bottom right is the frame of the car in which I am currently sitting, holding the camera out of the window.

Evening green. Did not expect to get this view out of my window in late May He always loves to zoom ahead and wait for us at the next junction. I should really pass by there more often. Inverted the brightness and then fiddled around with the colours until I liked them. night sky but it's not night heard you lot like my bike needs more green Short bike ride through the forest. count the layers of glass for a fun challenge Sunlit office And now we'll all try to decide together if "bus stop" should be a new tag on this website? Or maybe "reflections"? Update: there is now a reflections tag The snow, as it's falling in Kirchlindach The snow didn't last for very long. Very tempting to ride a longboard down this road, might not be the safest thing to do though still working on this aesthetic туман On the way to Sumiswald This is why I love November. Winding our way up Belpberg Looking over towards Moosseedorf. Fog from the Moossee jup, that's enough things in focus. i don't need any more things to be in focus. Nature outside our basement Zollikofen Flipped Busstop bus window reflections Sparrow! Taken in the BOGA, Botanischer Garten Bern one of the most beautiful buildings in Bern in my opinion Stairs up to the pretty building seen on the other photos in this post I often pass by these houses but this is the first time I've seen them from this angle Münchenbuchsee again delivers on the cloud formation side. trees for scale 2am shenanigans Visible in the background is the Genex Tower a wonderful smell in the air even though this was long before the rain kicked in Union Canal Храм-паметник "Св.св. Кирил и Методий", Велики Преслав Kernkraftwerk Gösgen-Däniken visible in the background Half snowing, half raining so much green On the way to Isenfluh Gondola from Isenfluh to Sulwald Not every part of the hill was steep enough to get some speed going Again with the Prime Tower visible in the background built on a foggy hill Next to the runway at Szentkirályszabadjai Repülőtér Looking northwards up the Mosoni-Duna river Парк-паметник на българо-съветската дружба I can't imagine such a bright light being too practical, especially for any oncomers' eye sight, but it sure does look pretty in this angle... it's November, let's go enter dreamland strategically placed overhead line mast the drivers might not be too happy about it but i love this fog i mean it's good but it could do with some more fog This photo was taken on my way to work. I was hoping for a photo like this, and had my camera ready. This is so cheesy. I can however assure you that none of this was staged. Seen from the peak of mount Männlichen no please stay here i need to take more photos The volcano during daytime Mount Etna in the background Milazzo, Sicily when even the Sony A7sII can't handle the darkness anymore View from Bantiger towards Bern Löchligut, Bern Our skies on the 1st of August A fellow photographer preparing for the lunar eclipse The mountain visible is Schrattenfluh Sadly, there's no way to access the area, so I had to take my photos from outside the perimeter. A pipeline going across the Bokodi-hűtőtó lake This path is visible on google maps. It did not get better from here on. The pipeline, as it's approaching Bokodi-hűtőtó Entering Kecskéd Île Vas-t'y-Frotte Near the Namur Citadel It's by no means a long way up to the statue, but at those temperatures... On this side of the statue, there was at least some shade available. Handheld 0.8 second exposure with flash, camera rotating during the exposure. 4 second handheld exposure with flash Below this bridge runs the A1 highway #coords46°57'23"N 7°30'25"E#, seen from #coords46°58'00.9"N 7°31'02.3"E# Shot out of a moving car, hence the blur.

Pedestrian ramp over Leonard-Bernstein-Straße, Vienna https://soundcloud.com/da-fred Worblaufen My bike posing in front of some graffiti Should have waited a fraction of a second longer before taking this photo, although the pose is alright Some trees that survived the storm "Burglind" last January, and some that didn't. #coords46°59'12.2"N 7°29'04.2"E# On a hill in Bolligen tree. Yes, the people aren't in focus. The focus is on the trees. Trees are important. came out for the sunset, stayed for the crows When snow and fog collaborate to create the prettiest of gradients #coords67°51'48.2"N 20°14'49.2"E# #coords67°52'32.2"N 20°13'20.3"E# Actually found a kinda clean train window I rotated this photo by 180 degrees and liked it more that way, but I don't know why. Looking down at the Schulmattstrasse in Ittigen On the train from Bern to Zurich, about to pass Mellingen. The London Overground through Acton Victoria Street, Liverpool The Chester canal, with the Steam Mill visible in the background Juodkrante, Curonian Spit Vilnius Palace of Concerts and Sports Somewhere between Rīga and Pärnu A road on Saaremaa Erosion from glacier and rain water flowing in to the Oeschinensee Erosion shaping the forest If anyone knows about a multi-year timelapse of a place like this then please let me know. Fireworks on the Swiss National Day, 1. August There's a rainbow just to the left outside the frame. Not that it matters. I'm so glad this fisherman has a sense of colour, and didn't turn up in a bright orange vest. Caustics under a bridge ok i might be overdoing it with the saturation here Luckily this bird was circling around there, almost as if it had been waiting for me to take a photo. Cat! Ruine Grasburg, Schwarzenburg Adding another shot from the probably most photographed spot in the area Everyone looking at the cliffs while the landscape behind them be aesthetic as fk Living the photographer life At three 'o clock in the morning, London is a quiet place At the Bonstettepark unreachable bench. there's probably tons of metaphors hiding in this one.. Somewhere between Kiesen and Uttigen View over Liechtenstein from Malbun On a balloon ride near Münsigen Shot on a 1939 Balda Juwella, a medium format camera I found at a market in Bern Ghosts. They appear to be everywhere. Old Jewish Cemetry This is probably an agricultural machine. But we don't know for sure. In a park in Brno, Czechia Staubbach focusing is hard.. About as hipstery as it gets on this blog. Yes, you saw correctly; this isn't because of bad editing, not because of a terrible web compression either, it really is just a smartphone camera at work... Everyone who's ever talked to me about photography knows that I'd never do this normally, but the circumstances forced me to upload a phone camera picture. I didn't have a proper camera with me but I just couldn't bear to miss the opportunity. So there you have it. It won't happen again very soon. Hopefully. Found this tree while going for a walk near the England-Wales border. the meadows, currently not flooded!
