I was editing old photos and found this one of a dragonfly, which I think is a "lesser emperor" (Anax parthenope). Not a particularly good photo (and heavily cropped), but it was the only one I got :smile:.
They are very uncommon here.

Ribs on the left? How is it seasoned/marinated?

EDIT -- Nevermind, I see now that it's the shadow that makes it look like 2 different seasonings... :smile:

Winter has its own niceties.
Aiming for a 'first snow' hike at weekend. 🤞
There might be photos too.

Well yeah, but it looks like he's running the deck for a big name band, The Coors.

More mixing desks (probably audio & lights, I think), shot at the venue Amager Bio in Copenhagen while the UK band Nothing But Thieves were performing in 2022:

Amager Bio, mixerbord (x800).jpg


It was a darn good live concert, and here is one of the few shots I got of the band with my system camera...

Nothing But Thieves.jpg


...before one of the venue guards came and told me that I wasn't allowed to take photos with system cameras (but smartphones were allowed).
Which actually surprised me and which I find a little weird. Could it be because of the resolution and the ability to make more professional shots, I wonder? Well, smartphone cameras can be pretty darn good too nowadays, and they will likely get better and better in the near future, I think...

For comparison, here's another shot of the band taken with my smartphone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 10):

Nothing But Thieves2.jpg


Another shot taken from the venue balcony:

Nothing But Thieves3.jpg


And a joke who anyone who has mixed music may identify with :smile: :

The Venue was all wood (Wigton) the sound when the bodies were in had to be adjusted the old-fashioned way. First track out with the crowd and see how much those guys absorb, sound and clarity.
The guitar was supreme in the soundcheck, dead once the people were in.
I put the git to 6 (not 11)

Due some sore throats we just turned it into a looong morning and instead of a full day hike it was just a short afternoon walk...
We still got the firs snow, though.

Puzzles of land: summer & winter, light & shadow, hills and meadows...

This is in front of a vacant lot. The sign was posted several weeks before the yard trash appeared, perhaps from the property across the street. The city does collect this stuff regularly, although not on the same schedule as the weekly emptying of household trash bins.

I went through old unprocessed photos and found a fly:

Fly.png


Not quite as good as I'd like it to be, but still the best shot of a fly that I've got.
Hopefully I will get more opportunities for close-ups of flies next summer, but they are quite difficult to shoot actually. In my personal estimation they start to get nervous at around 50 cm (distance to subject).

If you can catch an insect, you could slow it down greatly by popping it into a frig to cool it down (they are cold blooded).
They should also recover afterward.

Thanks for the idea, I didn't know about that.
Yet I think I would rather just try catching it in some transparent thingy and shoot it through the glass/plastic. I'm kind of soft-hearted, I admit. :smile:

I went in to work today (I know, it's Saturday), and noticed this improvised sun shade in the driver side window of a minivan in the parking lot. I think the minivan is for a student at a nursing school in the same building as my lab, but I'm not sure. The crib sheet in the window appears to be for Physical Chemistry or Thermodynamics, I think, which is a bit far afield for nursing, IMO...

The modern version probably refers to phones and earpods.
