Gorgious colours.

Along the Lancaster Canal

Two of these were taken locally fairly recently, and one was taken during my fall colors trip last year. Hope everyone is doing well. We are in the heat of summer here in Florida, and it seems hotter than normal this year.

I like this one a lot Wormy! The various subtle colors. The various points of interest. Very nice.

Was your camera red too :) Very nice composition.

The second one is a real standout in this set, Woodsider.

A short trip to Türkiye
I’ve never eaten so many cherries in my life. They were abundant, and we picked tonnes from the trees. The trees looked untouched after we'd got tired and stopped. The second photo are sour cherries, called vişne, which are great for jam and drinks.

A mundane Metro sign. We were there just before the NATO summit and I missed catching up with Trump. However, I read he enjoyed the trip.

A shoeshiner in my hometown.

Late to the party today. I'm a bit frazzled as I had a day trip down to Naples for work yesterday.

It is incredibly hot here at the moment (35-38) so I am doing very little photography, it is better to stay at home with the AC keeping us cool.

We were down in Ravenna recently for a concert. We did see the tomb of Teodorico with its roof carved out of a solid block of stone.

We saw Pat Metheny. No cameras so I just took a couple of phone shots at the end when things got pretty crazy. If you like Jazz this guy is just mind blowing live.

Not bad for a snapshot camera with electronic zoom added to the longest zoom lens, considering I used to do this sort of photography with expensive 2.8 lens back in the day,Pushed Tmax 40film is not much better than these shots.

Some random things this week. Always fun to fiddle with the camera. Pat Metheny! That's cool.

Like a jigsaw of the scene. Very nice.

Good to see you man. Hate to say it but I think the phone has surpassed your efforts with a real camera. That last shot is spectacular.
And most of Europe is suffering a heatwave too.

Lucky you, I adore cherries. This is an excellent composition, something very pleasing about the lines and shapes. Maybe pimp the whites a touch?

Correct. I'm constantly wowed by my Pixel 9 Pro. Just listening to some Pat Metheny now. I recognise a few. Very chilled, which makes me wonder how things got crazy at the end.
We've been touching 35° here too.

This is my pick of these. I might crop a little of the water from the bottom.

Egret, surveying...

Last week I was in Hard Rock laager, 2 days and 22 bands. This year we had luck with weather, mostly sunny with just ocassional rain. I left my camera home and just took some photos with my phone, concentrating on experience instead.

View to main stage. I like how the partially transparent backside shows nature through it, real ambient experience.

View over small river. For some bands some locals gathered on other side to enjoy show without paying.

Dead and alive. That dual status was marking these days, constant music, emotions, lack of sleep, beverages, that all created that living dead experience.

View to sunset after midnight from parking lot.
