A #throwback from almost ten years ago now. This little mantis was posing one night, and I just happened to have my camera on me. A really patient little bug. https://flic.kr/p/2oNksG2
#Throwback to my time at twitter, when a fellow user who I had very much contact with called me fat out of the blue, out of nowhere, and then shamed me (directly and in many nonmentions) when I unfollowed him silently without making a fuss of it. I think that was the moment when I started parting from that platform. I lost contact to that circle of people and ever since got ignored.
I'm mostly annoyed, though, that he called my passion for #Eurovision songs "bad taste in music".
For #ThrowbackThursday some autumnal trees reflecting in the calm waters of Frillensee near Inzell in Bavaria, Germany; photographed in October 2008.
LG Electronics licensed this photo to show the brilliant colors on one of their TVs, quite a few years back. It's also one of my most stolen photos (in countries with laughable copyright protections, of course).
I really miss seeing the big dramatic storms that would ominously sweep across the sky in the summertime and watching them downpour out in our west pastures on our family farm.
Used the XT30’s built in ‘filter’ for the 1st time on this one and it came out quite well. That’s a Baptist church. There’s more American churches in Nagaland than there are in #Mizoram. Personally detest the Prosperity gospel taught by most American churches - leads you to being a Christian for namesake. Glad the #Welsh missionaries reached our (Mizoram) shores and not Americans.
Apologies for going off tangent from the main post - #Photography :D
These signage(s) put by the Border Roads Organization, National Highway 54 #Mizoram, #India. Besides the advice, always puts a smile on the face of weary travelers.

Taki mały #throwback do zeszłotygodniowej ultrarajzy z Sopotu do Gniezna przez Przekop na Mierzei i Malbork. Pierwotna trasa została zmieniona w trakcie przepływu na drugi brzeg Wisły. Finalnie było 370 km, podziwiając piękne krajobrazy i odkrywając ciekawe miejsca. No i kwadraty:))

A Live stream emulating the increasingly rare Weatherstar system (4000, in this case), which a small number of avid collectors still maintain.

To me, this one really transports you to another place/time. Almost the audio equivalent of a liminal space. Also available on Archive.org:...
