Last Notes npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) @nprofile…7xkg I was expecting https://status.signal.org/ to show some sort of indication of there being an issue but it just says everything is working. It was my first port of call when I saw messages weren't sending for me. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A tall tree in the national forest of Bosc de Bellver in Mallorca hangs on at the edge of an embankment. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) On a mushroom picking expedition north of Berlin we encountered this fallen tree in the forest. The root system was so broad that it kept the trunk suspended quite high in the air, such that I could stand underneath the trunk to frame this shot. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I guess most giraffe photos probably go a bit wider to catch the impact of that incredibly long neck, but it's nice to get a close up portrait of them too - such handsome creatures. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) As we rowed across Jelenin lake we noticed this beautiful Great Cormorant sitting on a dead tree branch at the lake's edge. We spent quite a few peaceful minutes with the boat just drifting watching it just hang out. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) This may not be such a large Dahlia, but it's not short of impact thanks to that vivacious and rich red colouring. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) The cacophony of crashing waves can seem so loud and all encompassing when you're near it. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A friend has started volunteering at Tierpark and we thought we should go check it out. Here we have the always fascinating flamingo sifting for food and surrounded by flamingo legs and reflections in the rippling water surface. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) This duck didn't seem the least bit concerned about my presence as it waddled up right up and past me in search of any tasty morsels dropped by people on the path around Orankesee in Weissensee. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I know, flies in general tend not to be high on people's lists of favourite animals, and there are very good reasons for that. However they are pretty fascinating to look at up close, with luminescent colouring and incredible eyes. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A surprise encounter with a fox in the daytime just outside the busy front entrance to Park Klinik in Weissensee. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Well, who can resist their inner child when they see a mushroom that could be construed as somewhat rear-end like. A few more insects than I would usually accept though. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Some very hopeful graffiti spotted on a tree trunk in Volkspark Prenzlauerberg. It's a sentiment I'm 100% behind but I also struggle to foresee a time that it might be true. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I find dragonflies to be an extremely challenging subject to photograph as they tend to move very very fast and don't sit still for very long, so I was lucky to catch this one at rest in a small and peaceful garden in Poland. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Another photo from the Rafael Anton Irisarri and Abul Mogard concert at Morphine Raum earlier this year. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Somewhere in the national forest of Bosc de Bellver, with the Puig Gros de Bendinat in the background, a rainbow became visible as we looked away from Castell de Bellver. I was captivated by how it filled such a wide swath of my vision. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) One could be forgiven for thinking they had stumbled onto the set of a new movie in the Alien franchise. It would not look out of place if a xenomorph raised its head from behind some rocks or stalagmites. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A world of happy accidents awaits with 'intentional camera movement'. It feels akin to light painting, but one skims photons across the image sensor for a brief moment, their passing recorded as an electrical charge and stored. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Three trees fill the frame somewhere in or around Weißer See. Captured in the middle of the Berlin Winter, I believe this post serves as a reminder to not take for granted the beautiful natural world all around us. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) In this scene I must say I am drawn to the plants trying to find a way to grown in a relatively lifeless space - I think the greenery of life totally outdoes the graffiti. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Do warped mirrors bring out the inner child in everyone? I hope so! I spent many enjoyable minutes moving around in front of this sculpture in a gallery in Mallorca making silly faces. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) The smallest of variations in the contours, shapes, and elevations of these underwater objects result in dramatic changes to the way the water flows along this installation piece in Gärten der Welt in Berlin. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) The alien surroundings of Cuevas Del Drach continue to provide ample abstract results for my abstract weekends - in this case I feel helped along by the dramatic lighting set up in the caves. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I was fascinated to see what I have since learned is called an eFoil and carefully lined up to capture a photo of the rider when they suddenly took an unscheduled head-first plunge into the lake and I caught quite a comical moment. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I managed to get one more sharp and clear image of this buzzard freewheeling through the air above me whilst I was walking through the Gardens of the World park in Berlin. Such a beautiful bird! npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) This kind of feels like it would be suitable for a photo caption contest. The things people do for sport, taken out of context, could look mighty strange if you had no idea why they were doing what they were doing. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) As a day of rough seas subsides, the white frothy waters stand out in the dying light of a Mediterranean sunset. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) It is from the most humble of beginnings that the largest stalactite or stalagmite grows. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) What was a very small snail, becomes a completely different thing when captured with an ultra-macro setup. A whole new world is revealed, a fraction of the size of ours and yet just as intricately detailed. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A variety of tree species each try to outdo each other, reaching high in the air to reach the best light. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) The woods and parks in and around Berlin are often replete with the sound of woodpeckers "drumming". It's an easy sound to hear, but once the foliage gets at all thick, it can be very hard to locate the bird making the sound. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Given the somewhat awkwardly shaped Brandenburg Tor as a canvas, a wide variety of visual artists each found a unique way to utilise the space. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Zoomed in on a very specific piece of wall decoration on a Samariterkiez building. So much better than a plain coloured or bare wall! npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I find that my brain just doesn't know how to apply an up or a down to this image - it keeps on seeing extra things that contradict that which I know to be true. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A swan moults the last of its non-white cygnet feathers and is close to taking the final step into adulthood. We'd probably call it 'an awkward age' or something if this is what happened to humans too. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) On a trip to a heritage farm in Poland, we found a wonderful exhibition of sculptural work by local artists, many of whom were farmers and created these sculptures in their spare time. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) In Mallorca I sat on our balcony one morning watching surfers take advantage of surprisingly stormy waters. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) This is the result of quite a substantial number of photo experiments one afternoon last summer, and I think it's my favourite (or possibly joint favourite). npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A small section of graffiti adorning the shutters of a local shop in Samariterkiez in Berlin. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) The longest river in Poland, the Wisła (known as the Vistula in English) is beautiful, wide, and slow flowing by the time it is passing the shores of the city of Płock. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A large seagull edges closer and closer, to see if you really want to finish those chips (aka french fries). npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A stunning example of gothic architecture in Palma, Mallorca, which is nearly 600 years old. Llotjas were central places for trade, and this building would have been of major importance when Mallorca was a trading hub. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I think this just becomes an abstract photo because of the difficulty we have in anchoring anything in the image to something we know and recognise. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A large jet black paint splat sits isolated half way up a large featureless wall on the side of a 4-storey building in Friedrichshain, Berlin. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) One of my favourite places in Berlin is the wonderful Fauler See, a place where you completely forget you're in a capital city. Here we see a tangle of deciduous and coniferous trees vying to get a good spot under the sunlight. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Now I've finished posting wildlife photos from Africa, Wednesdays will remain animals in general. I went looking for a photo that matched some of the glorious spectacles we saw in Africa, and came across this beautiful Mandarin Duck here in Berlin. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Back in March I was delighted to catch Rafael Anton Irisarri and Abul Mogard playing at Morphine Raum in Berlin. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Adrianna navigates an art installation in Mallorca's Casal Solleric. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Simple patterns and textures are all around us all of the time, but thanks to 'busy lives' we often miss this stuff. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I've had plenty of inspiration from the Abandoned Berlin website, and have tried to visit a few of the spots listed there. This is one of them - the old abandoned Children's Hospital in Weissensee. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Berlin's annual Festival of Lights often uses a variety of buildings as a temporary canvas, and some of the visual artists involved really go to town - incorporating the visuals in such a way that they appear to be a part of the building. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Whilst waiting for a bus one day in Palma, Mallorca, I spotted this shop front for Licores Jhonny, or is it Licores Johnny? npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Seeing this photo again, I can't actually remember if I rotated this photo to be upside down, or whether this is actually the floor of the awe-inspiring Cuevas del Drach. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I find stormy seas to be a real pleasure to watch. A small hint of the raw power and energy seething within nature all around us. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I was completely enchanted by this herd of wild zebra we were lucky to cross paths with in Tsavo East national park in Kenya. Those markings really are quite special. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I'm pretty sure this was taken somewhere in the vicinity of the wonderfully named Gleisdreieck, which I think literally means 'platform 3 corner'. Definitely one that sounds nicer in German 😁 npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Hiking up to the Castell de Belver in Mallorca gives a great view of this city with a history dating back to Roman times. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) If I'm not careful, my eye switches between perceiving this as a the apex of a pointed roof, or a corner at the top of a building. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A beautiful array of lighting was very suitable for the Beth Gibbons concert in Berlin last year. I guess you could say after Beth and the band, the lights were very much the third performer! npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I look at this and my eye is switching between a static scene and something in motion, one moment it feels like an aerial image, another moment it's underwater. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I still find myself surprised and delighted by simple things like inverted reflections. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A fascinating array of colours, textures, and patterns await us pretty much everywhere we look - at least if you look close enough 😊 npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A translucent rock formation lit from behind glows with a beautiful warmth in the Cuevas del Drach in Mallorca. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Two large structures, layer upon layer, attach and stack themselves to the side of a large tree in Fauler See, Berlin. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Whilst I'm sure that living right beside a broad slow flowing river like this must be quite idyllic, I suspect I'd find it a bit nerve-wracking from the point of view of worries about flooding and damp getting into the building. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) At the Korg 'booth' (a table in a forest) at Superbooth, two attendees marvel at the most unusual demonstration of an 'electronically controlled acoustic instrument', or the Phase 8 Acoustic Synthesizer. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Just a few minutes after last week's sunset photo, I zoomed in full and captured a wholly different image. All of the deep blues and varied pastel sunset hues are excluded; instead a vision of the clouds on fire with burning oranges and reds. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) This slow development of rusty cracks in an old paint job might have already taken a number of years to get to this point. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) My wife walks with my mum along the seafront in Courtown in Co. Wexford in Ireland. We took a visit before one of my oldest friend's wedding. Always nice to see the lush greens of the Irish countryside. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I couldn't resist from taking an already alien image and making it less relatable by simply rotating it 90 degrees - again from the Cuevas del Drach in Mallorca. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) The sky yielding up an almost paint daub like effect for our viewing pleasure. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I only really took this photo to check if I could read the writing on the underside of a plane when using a 600mm zoom. The answer was "very nearly". But I was still amazed how much detail was visible from so far away. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) It was consistently sort of hard to believe my eyes in this spectacular cave complex - so otherworldly. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I was waiting for someone and happened to be standing beside a fountain. What better a way to pass the time than by trying to capture macro photographs of the shape of water droplets cascading through the air 😊 npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I'm guessing this is some sort of scarring on the surface of this unusual fungi, but it immediately made me think of a tattoo for some reason. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) @nprofile…zp6v March and April are great months for bird photos, before all the foliage comes out and makes it difficult to see, let alone photograph, a lot of birds npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Another detail from the exceedingly impressive carved wooden ceiling in the Oriental-Islamic garden in Gartens der Welt in Berlin. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I like how, at first glance, it's a little hard to tell for sure what the scale is here. Is it an aerial photo, or the side of a cliff, or a small part of a large concrete construction? npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) After a couple of hours in the darkness of the Cueves del Drach in Mallorca it feels quite revelatory to emerge to these big skies and beautiful vistas. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Arcing paths of water frozen in time by the snap of a shutter. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Imagine being an extremely small insect - how the stamen of a flower must seem utterly enormous. And yet most of the time we don't even notice. Our scales are different. But don't let that stop you from remembering there is wonder to be found all around us 😊 npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) @nprofile…zp6v ugh, each passing day I feel myself leaning more and more into disconnecting from it all npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) In some areas of Palma the streets are so narrow the buildings almost seem destined to touch each other. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) When Beth Gibbons put out her first new release in over 20 years and happened to be performing in Berlin, there was no way I was going to miss out. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) This sort of scene is just what my internal doctor ordered - blue skies, green foliage, fresh air. Lovely, albeit a slightly distant memory as we went this time last year! npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Shadow and light, black and white, distant details surrounded by a ring of dark. Gigeresque, alien, my brain starts adding figures into the image to make it relatable. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Beautiful textures ripple out across a liquid surface - shapes that are to me, somewhat reminiscent of the effect of acoustic energy on water. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) 3 strong spots cut through a subtle haze of smoke, and for some reason reminds me of some sci-fi episode, possibly Star Trek TNG, with people seeing bright lights in their dreams. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Abstract shot of an unusual approach to apartment shutters which seemed to be sliding doors outside the windows! npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Every year at Superbooth, they also run a special radio station just for the event, packed full of music, interviews, discussion and more. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) A naturally formed part of the Cuevas del Drach in Mallorca must have been one the most translucent rocks I've ever seen - with a spotlight behind giving the effect of an artistic lantern cover. npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) I do think it could be understood if you thought this was a macro photo of some tree's bark, and not a long distance shot of the Mediterranean sea at sunset! npub1fup3vhnrm486t9vx7h36lgyc0xvfrsugztswwud9rpfupvuruduqsm738m Ebauche (Dronal/Exan) Looks like Shopify are starting to Enshittify the online shopping process. Lure lots of businesses into using them, then force customers to download yet another shitty app to just track the delivery, instead of doing what everyone else does - provide a link to track your order on a website.
