A serene, snowy landscape featuring a straight path that stretches toward the horizon. The scene is characterized by a striking contrast between the bright, snow-covered ground and the dynamic sky above.

A wide, snow-packed trail dominates the foreground and center, showing faint tracks from previous travelers. It creates a strong leading line that draws the eye directly toward two prominent, bare trees in the distance.

Flanking the path are fields of tall, dried sunflowers stalks, their golden-brown hues providing a warm contrast to the white snow. To the left and right, dense clusters of dark evergreen and deciduous trees frame the horizon.

American democracy keeps facing the same test. Reconstruction. Watergate. January 6th. Each was an inkblot: some saw freedom and law, others tyranny and betrayal.

The danger isn’t just the crisis—it’s perception unmoored from fact. A lie, repeated often enough, creates its own inkblot. Not to reveal the viewer. But to control them.

#FotoVorschlag 'mein bestes Foto 2025' 'my best Foto 2025'

I was curious which photo might show up if I sort my Catalogue by my rating. Yet there are still some unprocessed folders.

But .. regarding my rating, I took my best photo close to the end of the year! Due to many reasons I didn't take as many photos this year as usual. But this one really resonates with me. I could start writing so much about what I feel when I look at it.

#photography #landscape #bayern #landscapephotography

This breathtaking winter landscape captures a serene lakeside scene, bathed in the soft glow of early morning light. The calm, reflective waters of the lake stretch out toward the horizon, where majestic, snow-dusted mountains rise against the clear blue sky. A delicate layer of frost adorns the reeds and grasses in the foreground, their intricate patterns sparkling in the sunlight.

A solitary wooden bench, positioned invitingly near the water’s edge, offers a perfect spot to pause and soak in the beauty of the surroundings. The bench, framed by the frosted reeds, adds a touch of warmth and human presence to the otherwise untouched winter wonderland.

The mountains in the background are partially veiled by a gentle mist, their peaks glowing in the sunlight, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. The trees along the shoreline are lightly dusted with snow, their branches reaching out over the water, adding to the peaceful ambiance.

As the sun ascended over the Everglades, casting a golden hue upon the horizon, the majestic cypress trees stood in striking silhouette against the painted sky, while a gentle mist hovered low over the tranquil waters, adding an aura of serenity to the untouched landscape.

If you need a blast of beauty (and who doesn't?) I highly recommend browsing the new Astronomy Photographer of the Year winners. They're spectacular -- and neither of these shots even made it to #1.

https://www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/astronomy-photographer-year/galleries/overall-winners-2025 #space #science #nature #art #photography

"During a routine time-lapse observation of the solar chromosphere [the thin, reddish layer of the Sun’s atmosphere above the visible surface], I captured a serendipitous moment when an aircraft crossed the field of view. Preserving this transient frame, I employed multiple blending modes to enhance the details of the solar background. Beyond stacking individual video frames, I processed the sequence, undertook colour inversion and synthesised 100 images through combined mean and minimum blending. This dual approach effectively accentuated both bright plages [active regions in the chromosphere] and dark laments through enhanced contrast.

"The composite image reveals the evolution of the Sun’s dynamic surface across a two-hour observational period, while the aircraft’s two-second transit remains frozen in time. This layered imaging rearranges time, blending celestial bodies and human technology in one photo."

"This is one of my biggest astrophotography accomplishments to date, and the largest panorama I have ever captured, with the full resolution image containing over a billion pixels from 62 images stitched together. I had envisioned this composition for a long time, capturing the twin glacial rivers with the Milky Way core off to the left of the image, as well as the famous Southern Cross and other pointers high in the centre sky."

Yellow line
#Photography

A paved pathway stretches into the distance, flanked by rows of trees with golden-yellow leaves.

The pathway appears to be relatively straight with a single yellow line marking the center.
The trees line both sides of the pathway, creating a tunnel-like effect. Fallen leaves are scattered across the pavement.
Above the trees, a blue sky is visible with scattered white clouds.

Hey friends! We just came back from a great hike near #garmischpartenkirchen. We wanted to do this mountain recently but the snow in the upper part was too risky for us.

Today we went there again. Beautiful ascent, nice views. Some spray rain and a slippery, dirty descent. But at the end we even had some sun!

Now we feel tired and a bit sore 😉

Among the most successful of the TX natives I planted in the spring are the Turk’s Caps, all have thrived & grown big, all are still blooming. And they’re very popular with the hummingbirds and #butterflies, such as this Gulf Fritillary.

Black and white photograph of a beach at low tide with a stone and wooden dock jutting out into the water, with a person walking on it wearing dark trousers and a white sweater, looking at their phone. The sea is visible to the right at the end of the dock. At the front of the dock, the rippled sand is still covered in some water in places, reflecting the light. Seagulls, stones, and piles of seaweed are scattered here and there.

A recent photo of a starling murmuration as if smoke from a chimney has been called a "fluke" by its Yorkshire based, UK photographer, Anna Tosney #WomensArt #Photography

The photo shows a starling murmuration, which is the name for the phenomenon of thousands of starlings flying together in a large, swirling flock directly above a tall industrial chimney. It gives the illusion of the starlings forming steam coming out of the top.

I was inspired by the cute chestnut-deer post from yesterday and looked for interesting autumnal offerings on my walk. Lots to find when you start to look!
