An experiment with medium format and Kodak Portra 160. It renders this quiet cafe moment with a gentle depth

A man and a woman are seated at a cafe counter. The man, in a cap and dark jacket, faces forward, while the woman, with long hair and a maroon top, gestures with her hands raised. A beige coat hangs on her chair, and large windows open to a building view

@oldoldcojote Thanks for commenting, it has taken many years for me personally to derive some much happiness from Nature and the things all around us.

A dandelion seed head, held in monochrome. Each filament waits for the wind.

There is a quiet promise in this pause - Everything is waiting to become something else.

A close-up black and white image of a dandelion seed head. The delicate seeds are clustered together, each one attached to feathery filaments. The background is dark, highlighting the intricate structure of the dandelion.

@oldoldcojote totally agree, and for me, it shows how nature has provided for all life.

The hill and the trees rest on the still water as if held in one long pause. A few mindful breaths bring the same quiet, and with that awareness the scene seems to open and show its simple beauty.

A still pond mirrors a dark hill lined with dense conifers. Bare trees rise from the wet ground, and heavy clouds press down from above. The scene is quiet, stark, and almost symmetrical, with the reflection forming a soft dividing line across the frame.

A close study of a birch trunk where a branch has torn away. The bark around the opening is rough and darkened with charcoal, while the inner core is left saturated and detailed. The exposed wood carries deep reds and browns that suggest a kind of wound. It reminded of the pain of separation — something that echoes Buddhist reflections on impermanence.

A close view of damaged birch bark where a branch has torn away. The outer bark is rough, grey, and textured. At the centre is a long vertical wound exposing dark red and brown inner wood, with small streaks of gold and lighter fibres. The contrast between the pale bark and the saturated inner core makes the opening resemble a deep gash. The surrounding bark has been darkened and smudged with charcoal, while the exposed wood remains vivid.

@oldoldcojote I can understand that, in the limited time we had there was the feeling of interconnection and that we are part of nature along with everything else. I was lucky not have been the driver especially on some of the trails, to look at the trees, wetlands and lakes made a big impact.

Four Healers Return to the Earth

Four birch trees stand bare against the vast water and sky. They mark a season of return and quiet change.

Four tall, leafless birch trees stand in a line on a patch of earth covered with reddish-brown and green plants. Behind them, the vast expanse of Lake Superior stretches out under a sky filled with alternating patches of blue and thick, gray clouds

@os112 @Gargron same here, but with the message english.

@os112 hi from Minnesota - it is a stop on highway 61 just a few miles form the Canadian border and a wonderful place to stop.

A calm before the storm on Wauswaugoning Bay. The Susie Islands hold fast under a heavy sky.

A black and white image showing a dense forest in the foreground with tall trees. Beyond the forest, a large lake stretches out to meet a cloudy sky. The scene appears calm yet dramatic, with the clouds suggesting an approaching storm.

I took this photo, using a creative filter, during a lovely autumnal nature walk around Loch Vaa in the Scottish Highlands.

The overcast sky adds a moody atmosphere to the serene setting.

Most productivity advice is a trap. It teaches you how to climb faster without asking why the ladder is leaning on a burning building.I spent years as a prod...
