Only here to keep in touch with a few people. Following me makes no sense.

A branch from a richly blossoming tree against a clear blue sky
Shelf coud
African eagle owl sitting in the grass, looking straight at you.
A stately home in a landscape park, partly visible behind autumnal trees on the right. In the foreground is a pond, in which the home and the trees are reflected. To the left is another couple of trees in full autumn dress.
A watch I got in 2005 to commemorate the birth of our first grandson.
A stately home between two groups of trees in autumn colors. In the foreground, a lawn, behind that, a small lake. The rather large country house is situated at the lake, and its reflection can be seen in the water.
A mushroom between some autumn leaves. Some blades of grass in the rihjt hand foreground.
A wagtail, twittering
A black car from the fourties to fifties (I think an Opel Kapitän), parked outside, seen through a window with raindrops. The focus is on the window, the car is out of focus but still recognisable.
Entrance to a castle with an 18th century interior, but a middle-ages foundation
A symmetric castle, in 18th century style. The towers and the moat suggest that it dates back further than that, and indeed, it was already there in ca. 1310. It's called Kasteel Nederhorst.
A Henri Chapron-built coupe variant of the Citroën DS on a car exhibition
Random line art, caused by intended camera movement. The same, seemingly walking abstract figure repeated six times, once with a vague blue fuzzy outline.
A few cumulus clouds blocking the sun, creating an interesting ray pattern. Below the clouds, the sky gets a golden sheen, above a dark urban skyline.
The moon coming out of a full eclipse
A photo in the mountains (Pyrenees). In the foreground, there's a green-covered hilltop, with a tiny fire standing on it, whth her back to the camera, overlooking the view. In the background, another top rises from the clouds, the upper half barren. In between, there is a layer of stratus clouds, looked at from above.
Raindrops on a window, dark shapes in the background outside behind the window.
A workbench, frozen in time, in a derelict factory
The moon, directly above a rocky cliff in Scotland. In the foreground. three poles (for hanging fishing nets?) are standing on a grassy patch. The general atmosphere is blue.
A black cat sitting on its owner's back
A black Honda NT700VA touring motorcycle
A blood moon (full eclipse). To the right is Mars, and I thik the dot on bottom left is Venus.
A screenshot from Bluesky, where someone else points down -- at my post.
In memory of Allan Holdsworth -------------------------------- He was alone at the summit of what is possible on a guitar. At its best what he did on a guitar is as good as a guitar can be, or any music can be. Long before he played guitar, he was drawn to the sound of violin and saxophophone. But it was a technical miracle to render these other sounds through the guitar. There was no one like him before... to this day nobody really sounds like Allan. The more you try to play like him, the further he recedes from your grasp. His lyricism was heart melting. In full flight he soared, weaved, and dived like a swallow. His sense of time was astonishing, a mystery: authority emanating from forensically vague phrasing. He was a jeweller in the rarified area of harmonic rhythm. So much is conveyed in his music, not least what it is to be human and true to yourself. With this at the core, he set off and climbed a mountain of his own invention.

A dark, derelict factory hall. On the right, there's a large opening through which bright sunlight comes in. The sunlight is shining on an empty chair, directly facing the light. The sunlight is visible in the dust that hangs in the air. There are many small holes in the slanted roof, through which sunlight creeps in. There is a skylight at the top left to balance out the bright sunlight on the right. The general atmosphere is decay, contrasting with the bright sunlight. Time stands still.
Ursa Major. Our Big Bear.
the night sky, looking at Orion, while high clouds are creeping in from the south, casting an orangy glow. Inside Orion, and at bottom-left, there are trails of planes passing while the shutter was open.

A surprisingly detailed closeup of the moon at about first quarter, as seen by a Sony A99-II, through a Sony 70-400 G with a Sigma APO 1.4x converter.
The skyline of Rotterdam, seen from the Kop van Zuid, on a hazy night. The diagonal lines to the right are from the Erasmus bridge.
The last bit of red sky before darkness, overlooking a pasture. To the left, lights in a small village and an illuminated church tower. On the left horizon, lights from a farm.
A very strong floodlight dominates the photo behind some houses and trees at night. The hazy air prpjects the light upwards.
Intentionally out-of-focus shot of a female mannequin looking out a moonlit window
A couple atop the Meall a'Bhuachaill
A nightly street scene. A tree and two terraced houses are lit by a street lantern. No other lights are visible.
A night sky full of stars (but only if you zoom in enough)

A tux, three-legged and zero-tailed, on top of a loudspeaker cabinet.
A gravel road is blocked by a herd of sheep, accompanied by a shehperd in a red coat. To the left and right are patchy meadows, some shrubbery, and a lone tree; in the background, trees against a hill.
A rural gravel/dirt road, lined with above-ground power lines, in a village in Romania. A cart, drawn by two horses, is visible, but not prominent. To the right, waste is being burnt. In the background are hills and a blue evening sky with cumulus clouds partly lit by the evening sun.
A woman leaning a camera with telelens on a roll bag, on a rock. In the background is a typical Scottish highlands landscape: rocks, heather, no trees. The weather is atypically un-Scottish.
A calico mother and a tux kitten easily fit into one cat basket

A wedded couple with a 1 year old child in the arm of the bride exit a chapel.
