An outtake from the monastery portal in Schlosspark Glienicke, Berlin, and a lesson in what can go wrong when the shot presents itself at the wrong moment. The neo-Gothic archway with its Byzantine mosaic of the Regina Caeli (Queen of Heaven, MP ΘV) demanded full attention, but the lens caught an unwanted intruder: a blurred dark shape of a fence looming large in the foreground, while the entire composition drifts slightly askew, the gate leaning just a touch off-centre. The golden warm light catching the striped sandstone wall and the intricate wrought-iron lattice doors was perfectly timed, the framing, decidedly less so. A reminder that even the most photogenic doorways in Glienicke's romantic landscape don't always cooperate.

Good morning all, my first photo gone wrong for today. Have fun everyone!

Young boy in an African village with a sullen expression

This little boy was not happy about the tourists visiting his village in Botswana.

A farmer sells fresh jackfruit, both whole and cut into segments, out of the back of a truck, using a digital weighing scale to measure the weight. The largest tree-borne fruit - it can weigh up to 40 lbs (18 kg) or more - jackfruit is a tropical fruit known for its large size and sweet, fibrous yellow flesh, with a taste often compared to a mix of mango, banana and pineapple. Highly versatile, it is used in both savory dishes when raw and as a sweet fruit when ripe.  Luke Bryan is an American country music singer, songwriter and television personality, one of the world's best-selling music artists, with over 75 million records sold. He has expressed support for the LGBTQ+ community, specifically through his 2017 hit 'Most People Are Good', which features the inclusive lyric, "I believe you love who you love / Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of".

And when you talk to God
Count up all your blessings
And thank the Good Lord back
You don't know Jack
No you don't know Jack

Luke Bryan, 21st century

The Brain has corridors surpassing

A door to a barn that's not opened in years. In front, blocking the door, is an abandoned piece of agricultural machinery.

A wide, panoramic view of Goðafoss waterfall in Iceland, captured in black and white. A broad curtain of water thunders over a curved basalt edge, breaking into mist as it crashes into the river below. In the foreground, dark rocks line the riverbank, while the fast-moving water ripples toward the viewer. Above, a dramatic sky filled with layered clouds stretches across the horizon, echoing the raw, powerful atmosphere of the landscape.

Water is the driving force of all nature.
— Leonardo da Vinci

The picture shows a Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) standing in a patch of sun-dappled green grass. Notable Features • Coloration: The bird has a distinctive pinkish-brown or "fawn" body. Its most striking feature is the bright blue, barred patch on the wing, which contrasts sharply against the black and white feathers nearby. • Head Markings: It features a black "moustachial" stripe extending from the base of its beak and a slightly speckled, white and black crown. • Environment: The bird is positioned in long, lush grass mixed with scattered dry, brown leaves. The lighting suggests a bright day, with soft shadows falling across the ground. The jay appears alert, with its beak slightly open, as if it were just about to call or was caught mid-foraging. These birds are members of the crow family and are well-known for their intelligence and their habit of caching acorns.

Good Evening and Goodnight Bluesky Folks

Before bed, I thought I’d share a photograph of an Eurasian jay I spotted a few days ago.It was taken with a Canon EOS R50 and a 100-400mm lens.
