Two shots of a large dragonfly sunning itself on a picnic table. From a bike ride on the 1A highway near Banff, which is closed to vehicle traffic for the next couple weeks.

A large blue dragonfly rests on a weathered red picnic table, catching some sun. The photo is from the rear of the dragonfly. Its tail is arched, with the tip resting on the table. In the background is the green of the surrounding bush.

An osprey keeping an eye on the Bow River, as well as the photographer. From a bike ride yesterday. There were about 50 crows in the surrounding trees.

An Osprey is perched on a bare branch, keeping an eye on the photographer. In the near background are a couple crows, also perched on bare branches. In the far background is a beautiful blue sky.

Rows of large pots almost as far as the eye can see - all stacked and tilted so they are resting on their sides.

For #Photomonday / #photomontag - another cheery picture of #Derbyshire in the fog, again from yesterday...

Twisted, bare branches enveloped by fog, reaching over a damp, single-track country lane at the bottom of a deep hollow.

For #monochromemonday and #photomontag ... I visited this spot twice now and it looked SO different. Once with a lot of fog in the evening, the other time earlier with less fog.

Not just was it the fog that ws different. But once there were NO birds at all […]

This black-and-white photograph captures a serene and tranquil winter scene by a lake. The image features several rustic wooden cabins or boathouses situated along the shoreline. The cabins have sloped roofs and are partially covered in snow, blending harmoniously with the winter landscape.

The lake itself is calm, with a thin layer of mist or fog hovering above the water, creating a soft and ethereal atmosphere. The trees in the background are bare, their branches reaching into the sky, and they are lightly dusted with snow, adding to the wintry feel.

The overall mood of the image is peaceful and contemplative, evoking a sense of solitude and quiet beauty. The monochromatic tones enhance the timeless and serene quality of the scene, capturing the stillness of a cold winter day by the lake. The reflection of the cabins and trees in the calm water adds symmetry and depth to the photograph.

Lovely weather 'ere. #Derbyshire, December 2025. #Photomonday / #photomontag

Misty winter's scene of a narrow, single-track country lane with shiny damp tarmac tyre tracks worn into the mulched fallen leaves - steep-sided edges with hedges and ivy, and dark twisted trees crowding and curving overhead. Uphill, barely visible - a human figure in the distance?

Bologna, two years ago today

#photography #italy #photo #italia #bologna #emiliaromagna #fotomonday #photomontag

A warm-toned portico in Bologna opens onto a cobblestone street at dusk, framing a view of the clock tower on Piazza Maggiore against a blue evening sky. People in winter clothing walk beneath the arch toward the square, passing glowing shop windows on the left, while empty café tables with red cushions sit to the right. The soft lights under the portico and the historic architecture create a welcoming atmosphere.

Fallen tree, up near Black Rocks, outside Cromford, #Derbyshire. May 2025.

#Photomonday / #photomontag

Base of a fallen tree, the trunk broadening into smooth, weathered roots ending abruptly in a disc of broken soil, narrow tendrils hanging downwards beneath, on the side of a steep hill with out-of-focus green woodlands in the background.

Southern China has strong traditions that emerge fully during Spring festival. I took this shot in Haikou, and asked René to offer his critique. René will critique your photography at ai.tuppu.net
