It's been a long day. Today I spent some hours at office and, when out, I found this nice surprise.

#Photography #PhotoMonday #FotoMontag #Christmas #HolidaysApproaching #December #Ferrara #Italy

As the evening sky deepens over Ferrara, Italy, a worker, elevated high in a cherry-picker, carefully drapes strings of lights across a towering Christmas tree. The warm glow from the lights begins to contrast against the fading daylight, hinting at the festive spirit to come. In the backdrop, the medieval brick tower stands watch over the square, its timeless presence offering a sense of history and continuity. People pass by, unaware that the square is slowly transforming into a winter wonderland, where centuries-old architecture meets the shimmering promise of the holiday season.

Witnessing the sun setting for the first time through the lens of a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL running GrapheneOS.

A serene sunset paints the sky in soft orange hues, casting a warm glow over a tranquil countryside scene. Silhouetted poplar trees stand tall against the horizon, while fields of vibrant green grass stretch into the distance. In the background, a scattering of rustic buildings and shrubs add a touch of charm. The scene captures a peaceful moment of transition between day and night, enhanced by the clarity and vivid colors captured by a Pixel 9 Pro XL running GrapheneOS.

May the sunrise this morning bring a bit of light and warmth to all of you, making your week brighter and more positive.

A vivid sunrise over the sea, where the sun sits low on the horizon, glowing with intense orange and red hues. The bright orb is partially obscured by thin clouds, casting warm rays across the sky. The contrast between the fiery sky and the dark ocean below creates a serene and powerful scene, symbolizing the calm transition between night and day.

‘There are so many colors’

At night, I look outside, but I mostly see reflections of what's inside...

#FotoMontag #PhotoMonday #Photography

My neighbor's yard is in the lower left corner of the picture. It has a tree, a white wall, and a shed. There is also a light that stays on. Just above the wall are some trees with dark shapes, lit from behind by an office (which also has the light on often). Most of the picture, however, is filled with reflections.

On the left is my mini photo studio with different colored backgrounds and lighting. At the top are some doors that give access to storage space. There is also a large wooden beam that holds my roof together. On the right is a dark silhouette of me and in the middle is a skylight with a couch underneath.

Post-processing filters resulted in an atypical coloration. Besides black, there is a lot of green, blue, pink, yellow and orange.

Monday Sunset in Pianura Padana, Italy.

As usual, see the Alt-Text

#Photography #PhotoMonday #FotoMontag #Sunset #Italy #Winter #FirstSmellOfSpring #Italy #Picture #Pic

A fiery sunset paints the sky with deep orange and golden hues, casting long shadows across the bare fields of late January. The trees, skeletal yet resolute, seem to cradle the glowing orb as it sinks into the horizon, promising its quiet return tomorrow. The air carries whispers of early spring - gentle breezes, faint scents of awakening earth, and a longer stretch of daylight. The fading light feels like a reminder: as the days grow brighter, so should we. Each evening, we should settle with more inner light, and each morning rise with renewed warmth and energy, much like the seasons embracing their quiet transformation.

A semi close up photo of a green and white ruby throated hummingbird about to land on an ornate glass and aluminum hummingbird feeder. Wings are back, while the head and tail feather are curled forward resembling a shrimp. The blurred background is the cabin's blue gray window sill.

📸 An adorable juvenile pileated woodpecker wandered right up to me :)

Sept 2024, Otsego County, MI

#Birb #PhotoMonday #FotoMontag #Woodpecker #BirdPhotography #Photography

A juvenile pileated woodpecker standing in a little trench where a log has decayed to wood chips. A red tufted head and pointy bill are turned towards top right frame. It's a crow-sized mostly black bird except for a white strip below the eye and another down each shoulder. Brown eyes are alert and thoughtful.

In the countryside, there are rituals that have endured for hundreds of years, unchanged.
This elderly woman, her body bent by time and hard work, walks each day to meet her chickens - who roam freely across a vast open space.
She gathers a few branches and leaves, then returns to fetch the food she’ll give them, to complement what they’ve already foraged in nature.

The chickens, friendly and orderly, follow her all the while.
And watching them, I’m reminded of people who are no longer here - people who were part of my life for a long time, who lived those same rituals, even if hundreds of kilometers away.

Even as everything around us changes, there are places that never do.

#Photography #PhotoMonday #FotoMontag #MonochromeMonday #Countryside #Time

A black and white photo of a rural farm scene, just days old but evoking a timeless atmosphere. A woman walks back toward a shed, with a basket in hand, as a flock of chickens eagerly follows—knowing that food is on the way. Though recent, the moment could easily belong to a scene from decades ago. Some things never change.
