    Just incredible that they even try this kind of enterprise. Only in Europe...

    This one looks great. The composition is good and the "pose" is quite "striking" ;-)
    I think with lightning strikes you can "get away" with fairly strong colour casts, with the image still looking more or less "believable" for that very short moment when the sky full of electricity.

    Not a prank ;-)
    There is a hike that we have done many times before from the "Arthurhaus" at 1500m above sea level to the mountain hut called "Mitterfeldalm" at 1690m.
    They serve a great roast pork dinner here on Sundays with a fine beer to go with it. It's not that far, (about 2km) and fairly easy to get to.
    For me it's like walking to the pub, with some great scenery on the way. You can easily drive, from the Mühlbach village below, to the car park at the Arthurhaus,

    Your leftover is still great scenery, love road and trees along it.

    Great that way back home is downhill :D I envy people who live in such scenic areas.

    Great find, nice rustical views.

    Blue seems more natural, but red one is more sinister, I think.

    Those defenses allowed to get some nice patterns.

    Very peaceful.
    Yes, you should get out and take some street shots.

    It’s a beautiful view, especially the oblique layers that ended in the far, snowy mountains. I think your phone did a good job, but isn’t it always the photographer, not the gear?

    I loved this barn house, but I’m curious to see what it looks like inside. I must say, I didn’t like the bull’s gaze :)

    Strong shots but I would have preferred them in BW.

    I stopped in Calais for a while, but I must say I didn’t find it very interesting. However, I did like these two shots – they’re compositionally strong and creative.

    This is a nice composition. I can feel the humidity in the air! I like the freshness that rain brings, but it can make the air very humid when it’s hot.

    I really can’t get my head around it! How can this massive building stand without a foundation? You’ve beautifully documented this incredible miracle.

    It would be nice to live in a country where mining is done with responsibility...

    And nice documentary series showing the scale of what is required to achieve such a task.

    Sadly, all the windows and doors were locked shut, and nothing to be seen through the cracks.
    Belties are very docile, friendly (and not very big! So not intimidating). These scarcely noticed as we pushed past them on the path. 😊 We have friend in Galloway who breeds them and her 'boys and girls' end up all over the north, so they may even have been ones we'd met before!

    Another fine capture. I might have cropped it like this to confuse the hell out of people :)
