Thanks, mate! Playing with different tints of monochrome. The blue seemed to suggest space to me a bit!

Thank you!

You're welcome! Easy to do!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the photo and the details!

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

A star trails showing through trees that are still mostly bare. About 1 hours worth of images. The bright streak at the top is Jupiter and the relatively bright streak near the bottom is Sirius. The modestly bright streaks disappearing into the trees on the right are Orion. 14mm

The waiting woods spin beneath the stars. see alt for more detail. #scape #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #StarTrails #astrophotography #nightsky #nightskyphotography #Jupiter #Orion #Sirius

Such a beautiful, peaceful moment, wonderfully framed!

Soft white snow fills the air, falling onto the dark, freshly thawed waters of the Androscoggin River, it's forested banks reflecting on the icy surface

Excellent!!

a wide slow bend of the frozen androscoggin river appears to resemble an enormous ice skating canal that would stretch for miles, as seen from a bank of frozen shrubs in the foreground

Yes!!!

Thank you so much, Alex!

It is a facet of the totality that is too often missed. I thank you and Jaycee for helping me to see it!

😅😂

Probably. One of the many reasons I do not like all the diagnoses we have a round. However, I also appreciate people getting help and support!

To quote Jaycee: "Yesssssss!!!"

Profound thoughts! Very much we need to breath, wait, and see! Feel the place! I would love to consider the point about traces! That gives the photo a fourth dimension, time! A discussion i very much want to be a part of!

Waiting is very hard for me (my undiagnosed adhd which I am glad is not diagnosed 😄) but it is very important and something I strive for!

Thank you so much! I love all you're insights! The light here is magical and we were lucky to get out early, thanks to our daughter-in-law! The textures do feel alive. Even.more so than my photo.

You're welcome 😊 🙏

The Bookmark Project founded in 2017 is a charity auction run by 1st Burley-in-Wharfedale Brownies from West Yorkshire in the UK. The Bookmark Project raises money for Katiyo Primary School in Zimbabwe- by auctioning online bookmarks doodled by authors, illustrators and celebrities. Since we started in 2017 we have raised £80,000 which has bought an English language reading scheme, built blocks of toilets, helped to safeguard the local water supply, purchased exam supplies and has just finished building a block of three nursery classrooms for the youngest children at the school who have never previously had their own classrooms. Our next goal is to build and fill a school library.

Calling all authors & illustrators & artists we would love you to create a bookmark for the 2026 #BookmarkProject which we will auction to raise money to build a library at Katiyo Primary School in Zimbabwe find out more here www.bookmarkproject.co.uk Please share!

This looks great! Thanks for sharing¹

Thank you, my friend!

Two barn swallows are sitting opposite each other on the metal railing of a jetty. The one on the right has its beak wide open.
