Une photo en couleur au format paysage. On voit partiellement une porte verte en bois, son encadrement sculpté de couleur sable, et une partie d'un trottoir. Au centre de l'image, devant la porte, deux chatons blancs entourent un chaton roux. Sur la gauche, leur mère, blanche, une oreille rousse et une noire, surveille attentivement l'appareil photo.

🦩Did you know? A flock of flamingos is called a flamboyance—and it’s easy to see why! With their bright pink feathers, long legs, and graceful necks, these colorful birds command attention wherever they go.

There are six species of flamingo worldwide. They are highly social creatures and often gather in large numbers. The largest flamingo colony in the world can be found in Tanzania, where more than 2 million birds have been observed at one time.

(And for @Ali, it was crossing the Middle Fork of the Feather River.)

A black and white portrait photo of a large stream engine crossing a tall railroad trestle. The back ground is a deep ravine of forest covered slopes. The train is about to complete its crossing of the trestle. It is head toward the bottom right of the frame. It has two small headlights that are tuned on. Steam comes out from the lower right side of the train. Black smoke pours out over the top to the train. A young girl is in the bottom left taking a photo of the train as it exits the trestle.

The Union Pacific Big Boy, an articulated 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive manufactured by the American Locomotive Company in 1941. Here, the Big Boy had just crossed the East Branch North Fork Feather River and was parked waiting for a VIP passenger (7/11/2025). I really couldn't have been in a better spot. I thought it was just going to roll by at that location. When it stopped, I thought, "For me?" Lol!

A color landscape photo of a very large steam engine. The engine is stationary just as it cleared a bridge. The rest of the train is still on the bridge. Another bridge can be seen crossing under the upper bridge where the tr5ain is on the left. The train points toward the right. Whisps of black smoke come from the front smoke stack. It has a small US flag on the right front and a California flag on the left front. A forest is seen in the background.

A color portrait image of a very large steam engine that has just exited a metal bridge structure over a river. Forest is seen in the background. The engine is approaching the viewer, exiting the frame at the lower right. A big brass bell is seen at the top of the tubular black boiler. A small US flag is on the right corner of the engine and a small California flag is on the left. A small pile of railroad ties lies on the gravel railroad bed in the lower left.

A black and white landscape photo of a very large black steam engine in a desert landscape. The engine is heading toward the right side of the frame. It is very long, with two sets of drive wheels. The tender car is behind the engine and a small section of a passenger car can be seen behind the tender. Sagebrush is in the foreground, and dimly, through the haze, a mountain range is seen in the distance. A round, railroad crossing sign is seen just ahead of the engine on the right. It is filled with bullet holes.

Owens Valley Radio Observatory 40 meter (130ft) telescope near Big Pine, California (10/13/2025). The big 40m instrument is owned and operated by Caltech. It is mostly used to observe over 1800 blazars in support of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.

A black and white landscape photo of a very large radio telescope dish. The dish sits on a single pedestal. It points up and toward the right. Sagebrush is in the foreground and a large mountain in the background. Big clouds in the sky frame the outline of the telescope's four pyramidal feed support legs. The cloudless part of the sky is very dark as if a red filter had been used.

“Bad (Badezimmer? Schlecht?)” / Bad or bathroom

Max liked to sit in the bathtub and beg me to turn on the water, then immediately ran away when I did so; apparently that was bad? I could never figure it out. Crazy goofy cat.❤️

Photo of Max the handsome gray tabby cat sitting in a bathtub, behind a patterned beige curtain and just under the spout, looking at the camera with plaintive eyes. No, you couldn’t resist that look either.

#Photography #BlackAndWhite #Squared

Square black-and-white photograph. Extremely minimal composition showing a small set of cat whiskers in close-up. Fine, curved lines enter the frame from the right side and sweep gently toward the center, some sharp, others faint and blurred. The background is bright and featureless, creating a high-key surface where the whiskers appear as delicate, floating arcs. No other details of the cat are visible.

Just eight days ago, I gave a popular science talk at mpi_grav@academiccloud.social about colorful phenomena in the sky, and now – boom!

Just minutes ago, there were beautiful iridescent clouds (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_ir…) here, north of Hanover, Germany.

Here, light is diffracted by tiny droplets in the clouds, creating these typical mother-of-pearl colors.

A little bit of winterkitsch
#Canon #Photography #Nofilter
A riverbank with frost-covered white trees and firs. The river flows quietly and frost smoke plays on the water, where the eees are also reflected. A single tree with a brown trunk stands slightly crooked on the bank, breaking up the somewhat monochrome image. In the foreground, bare branches reach into the picture.

#Travel #RoadTrip #Ghosts #Art #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A square black and white photo of a sculpture at night. The sculpture appears as a person in a long white flowing cloak. Think classical monk with the a long hood that covers the face. The ghostly figure is holding on to a bicycle as if it were going to mount the bike and ride off. The sculpture is fairly well lit but the bike is shadowy. Otherwise, the rest of the frame is black.

Fungi on fungi for #fungifriday.

These striking filaments are the reproductive structures of Spinellus fusiger, a parasitic fungus commonly known as bonnet or pin mould. It lives by infecting host mushrooms, producing thread-like sporangiophores that end in minute spore capsules, giving the mushrooms a fuzzy, pincushion-like appearance.

#photography #photo #fotografie #photographie #fotografia #naturelovers #naturephotography #nature #fungi #mushroom #mosstodon

A single, slender mushroom emerges from a lush bed of moss and lichen. Its dark brown, conical cap is covered in a striking halo of fine, radiating white filaments that resemble delicate hairs or threads spreading outwards in all directions. These filaments are the reproductive structures of Spinellus fusiger, a parasitic fungus commonly known as bonnet or pin mould. They catch the light, creating a bright, spiky effect around the mushroom's cap. The mossy ground is a vivid shade of green, with soft textures and various pale green lichens scattered throughout. The background is softly blurred with green and brown tones.

When I can't find anything new to photograph at Frankfurt Central Station, I look up. There are always cables or aeroplanes somewhere – or both.

#photography #squared #contrail #lines #clouds

Square black-and-white image of a cloudy sky. Thin clouds cover the entire sky and look a bit like fleecy clouds. In the centre at the bottom, a white quadruple contrail extends slightly to the left and a thick black tension cable extends slightly to the right from the same point. Both form a ‘V’ shape.

November sunsets can be so sublime
#Sunset #nature #photography #michigan
A pastel sunset of orange, yellow and red is reflected on a calm lake with dark sand dunes on the horizon, creating a symmetrical picture. Dark grey clouds are along the top and reflected on the bottom, giving the illusion that the strip of color in the middle of the picture is a torn piece of paper.

#photography #StreetPhotography

A view of a large advertising billboard, taken from street level next to a freeway in a grittier part of San Francisco. The billboard promises "Safer schools with instant visitor screening" ... and it has a picture of a smiling child. The picture has been tagged with graffiti... and underneath the billboard there's a fence topped with barbed wire. End Times are approaching. I have my camera ready 👍

A low-angle, black and white photograph of four people in silhouette walking down a concrete pedestrian tunnel toward a bright light at the end. The tunnel walls are covered in graffiti ("VOLIM TE" meaning "I love you" in Serbian can be seen written on both sides of the tunnel. The ground is wet and reflective, with puddles reflecting the figures. The figures are facing away from the camera, except for one, casting long shadows.
