Familiar vibrations.
Feelings connecting me to childhood.
insect noises, sweat and the smell of summer —
on the side of a road in the middle of life.
#photography #summer #summerroad #life #remembering

Sunlit asphalt road curving gently to the left through lush green trees, with a white and grey roadside marker post featuring a red reflector in the right foreground; bright, hazy sunlight floods the scene from the background, creating a strong glare and lens flare.

Living in wonderland.
Every step

a moment of awe.

A hiker with a red backpack descends a rocky mountain path, overlooking a vast alpine landscape with a lake nestled between forested mountains and snow-capped peaks in the distance, likely the view from or of Traunstein in Austria.

where mountains watch —

Prioritization.
Some place more value on the packaging,
others on the content —
Both are a part of the whole.

A dimly lit hallway featuring imposing, dark metal double doors set within an arched doorway. The doors have square frosted glass windows glowing with cool blue light from behind, and an arched fanlight window above. To the right, a partial mannequin torso stands in a recessed display area next to the doorway. The floor is tiled, and the overall atmosphere is mysterious and slightly industrial.

Morning light.
A new day awaiting the city,
people still cuddled in their beds —
Fresh canvas ready for some paint.
#photography #vienna #cityscape

A wide panoramic shot of a sprawling cityscape under a dramatic sunset sky. The city, densely packed with buildings, stretches across the frame, fading into a hazy distance. In the foreground, a bare tree branch is silhouetted against the sky on the left. The sky is filled with layered clouds, transitioning from a soft orange glow near the horizon to a more subdued grey at the top. Industrial smokestacks are visible emitting white plumes in the mid-ground. The overall tone is atmospheric and serene.

A day has grown old.
Good night, sun
Thank you for the beautiful day.
Tomorrow, may the cycle turn anew.
#photography #swan #sunset #beauty #grace

A white swan stands gracefully in the shallow water of a lake, its wings partially spread and catching the warm, golden light of the setting sun. The sun, low on the horizon, creates a bright reflection on the water's surface. Silhouetted land and trees line the far shore under a darkening blue sky.

Nubra valley.
Without geography
you are nowhere.
— Jimmy Buffett
#photography #himalaya #mountains #sign #landscape

A weathered orange and white road sign stands beside a paved road in the vast, arid landscape of Nubra Valley. The sign, partially obscured by dust, reads "WITHOUT GEOGRAPH YOU'RE NOWHERE . JIMMY BUFFETT". Behind the sign stretches a wide, sandy and rocky plain dotted with sparse, low vegetation. Towering, barren mountains in shades of grey and brown rise dramatically on either side of the valley, with a few snow-capped peaks visible in the distance under a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds.

Unfurling catkins.
Ready to spill into the world —
True love

#photography #spring #nature #catkins

A close-up shot captures a cluster of soft, fuzzy willow catkins emerging on a slender, dark twig. The catkins are illuminated by a soft light, highlighting their delicate, hair-like structures and pale yellow tips. The background is softly blurred, suggesting other out-of-focus catkins and a dark, indistinct backdrop, possibly indicating early spring.

Splash of pink.
Sometimes it just spills over.
Emotions —
glad when they are pink.
#photography #blossoms #spring #nature

A close-up, slightly blurred photograph captures delicate clusters of pale pink blossoms on slender, dark branches. The flowers have a simple, open shape with visible yellow stamens at their centers. Soft green leaves are just beginning to emerge along the branches. The background is a wash of out-of-focus pink blooms, creating a dreamy and spring-like atmosphere.
