Things seen on the way to the beach.

Black-and-white photo taken from a pedestrian bridge overlooking a road with a single blurred car in motion. Dense trees line both sides of the road, and a tall streetlight stands on the right. A metal mesh railing frames the foreground.

Black-and-white photo of tall grass swaying in the wind under a dark, cloudy sky. A lone tree silhouette stands in the distance, adding depth and mood to the stormy landscape.

Close-up of a bluish-green plant with thick, spiny-edged leaves growing in sandy soil. Surrounding it are dry grass-like blades and straw-coloured stems, suggesting an arid or coastal environment.

Close-up of a rusted metal flange with circular holes mounted on a cylindrical pipe. The background shows a blurred shoreline and body of water, highlighting the effects of corrosion in an outdoor setting.

Was testing a vintage 28mm lens as I walked back from a shoot this afternoon. This guy was rocking an autumnal scarf – way more Left Bank than Birkastan. I didn't see what he was reading, but I presume it was at least Mythologies (VO) by Roland Barthes!

A close black and white shot of a dahlia flower; its many oval petals bespeckled in raindrops.

Every Tuesday morning there's a tapity tap at my window and it's the Waifu carrier pigeon with a micro SD card strapped to his leg containing tomorrow's Waifu Wednesday™ photo.

Polaroid photograph of the bright red Llandudno cable car (number 53) suspended mid-air against a vivid blue sky with scattered clouds. Below, the rocky limestone slopes of Y Gogarth (the Great Orme) rise above green trees.

Does "Mute thread" fix that?

Possibly not the most optimal, but whatever works!

Black and white photograph of an older person sitting alone at a wooden outdoor table, reading a newspaper. They wear a checked coat and have wavy, shoulder-length hair. The setting appears to be a quiet paved courtyard or street with benches and stone buildings in the background. The mood is calm and reflective.

Black and white photograph of a woman sitting on a chair in a dimly lit, old room with wooden floors and a worn wall. The scene is viewed through a doorway, leading the eye toward the woman, who is slightly hunched forward near a large, multi-paned window letting in bright light. The atmosphere feels moody and introspective, with a single exposed bulb hanging from the ceiling.

A person wearing a long, white Victorian-style dress with dark trim stands on a large, gnarled tree with thick, bare branches. They lean slightly against the weathered trunk, gazing upward. The background features grassy terrain, scattered trees, and a cloudy sky, creating a moody, historical or fantasy-inspired atmosphere.

This hawk had me in his sights. #photography #nature #raptor #birds #GreyCounty #LakeHuron #EastCoastKin

Directly overhead a hawk spreads his wings against a blue sky, staring directly at the camera with piercing eyes.

This is disgusting, what a state this country is sliding into. Abuse of all kinds needs to be stamped out.

'Staff working with elderly and disabled service users have been advised to travel to work in racially mixed groups and carry panic alarms....It comes against a backdrop of charities also warning of growing intimidation, racial abuse and threats of violence towards staff and beneficiaries.'
