The recent lunar eclipse, taken in Brisbane, Australia!

There was a hill with snow on it.

I have a project at a former surface mine/quarry and saw an area where recent rain eroded away sediment surrounding the gravel but not directly under it. Each rock was supported by its own column.

Golden orb weaver behind my greenhouse.

We were hit with a nasty ice storm a few weeks ago and I found this lichen in the yard after. It's like a nature made snow globe.

The bike, an old Chiang Jiang CJ750, belonging to a good friend of mine needed some work. It was down on power, hard to start and had some electrical gremlins. I made a new wiringharness as the old wires were pinched and grounding out all sorts of places and gave it a new starter relay, the old one were only rated for 6 volts and would stick on from time to time. The carbs got cleaned and the valves adjusted. Now it runs like a champ and starts better than most new cars.

I was recently in New Zealand, this is a photo that shows the blue pools in the mount aspiring national Park. The water is the bluest/clearest I've ever seen.

It wasn't my favourite place In new Zealand, nor the prettiest, but the water is so incredibly blue

Right outside my bedroom window. A couple of nights ago in the north of Sweden. 

I generally don't take a lot of photos besides things I need to grab at the store, so he's the worlds largest pistachio in Alamogordo, NM from when my wife and I went down there to visit friends and sight see in January.

It's been a while since I took a picture.

Some context for this otherwise mundane photo:

This is on a college campus.

This man does not work for Grounds.

This was his transportation to a community event.

He passed away yesterday. It was peaceful though.

Top of Mailbox Peak. These birds were everywhere. I assume due to people sharing food when they hit the top.

Saw this pretty big moth on the ground. Had to put my hand in the shot for a sense of scale. Looking at it now it seems like it was taken mid-afternoon but this was around 1am.

This horse with her fole I saw while walking the dogs yesterday.

I built a 3D model of a neat library

A meeting I walked in on when I came home from work:

(I only have 2 cats by the way)

A mural at a local train station:

And the border between Germany and the Netherlands:

A bear-safe venison storing shack, typical from the North of Finland, moved and rebuilt in an open-air museum in Helsinki

Not cool, but cute

It was a pretty great piss.

I like to go hiking in remote, less-traveled parts of the bush. I found these motorcycle boots discarded in a random area. There was other junk around too. In all my hiking, there was 3 times I thought I might find a body or shallow grave, and this was one of them.

Here is a big ol' spider that I almost walked into,:

And a cluster of caterpillars taking shelter from the rain:

Here’s a Lego model of Dulles international airport inside Dulles international airport.

Bee 👍

A roadrunner visited my back yard! The cats are asking me if they can have an "Acme™ Rocket Bike."

I'm painting an iron maiden for my misbehaving dice. Had to share it with my TTRPG group.

I saw a CH-47, which is unusual enough that I had to snap a pic:

Yesterday, we had a cow that jumped from the wagon and ran off. Eventually found it stuck in some bushes. It's not a very good picture, but can you spot the cow?

Here is a Ban!

It's the Romanian cent (Bani in plural).

You saw it, now you're banned.

At a convention...

Behold. Houndbeast. Its not art. It might not even be cool. But she's a good girl.

uh, "cool enough to take a photo of" and "took a photo of" are different. here's a face my cat made my wife and i keep sending back and forth at each other instead of :P

LOOK AT HIM HE'S SUCH A GOOBER

Is that Museo del Ferrocarril de Madrid??

Also:

It got taken down from the cats sub for some reason. I'm sorta WOOFFing at a farm and they have 21 cats. Yes, I know there's only 14 in the pic.

Took this photo just at the moment the bananaquit decided to fly off, which gave a neat view of its feathers

Went to a local cherry blossom festival yesterday.

They weren’t fully bloomed yet (maybe around 80%), but still looked amazing.

Radio Flyer graveyard

Well let's see...

Ah right. This one.

Some context; Burger King is doing a "spicy honey and goats cheese" thing. I was interested, so I bought one. But the taste made me...

>:(

So I made my own at home. Yes, including making the spicy honey sauce from scratch.

Was at my first concert this weekend, never seen one of these before and thought it was funny

Con trail through a sun dog.

Edit: Com to Con...my bad.

This bird was just chilling next to me when sitting on a bench

Working on a farm rn and they got the cutest Alpakas.

This creepy looking thing. Yes, it moves.

This is my girl Hennifer Lopez, about a month ago when the northeast got that big blizzard.

Idk if she got into a fight or if this was just some late molting, but either way, those pin-feathers look badass.

One dear friend points out a patch of sunlight -refracted through champagne in a plastic glass on top of a trig point - she wants in the picture I'm about to take during a birthday remembrance moment for another much loved friend. It was a beautiful day. Harboro Rocks, Derbyshire, UK.

Cut up a tomato today only to be greeted with vivipary, which cause of the recent popular lemmy post, prompted me to actually plant it in some soil. 🤞 Hopefully I get something worthy of a post.

Manhattan-bound 7 Train @ 46th Street. It was early evening and snapped a nice pic before it pulled out.

Got to play with the water thrower on a TLF in less than ideal weather conditions. Got a nice picture out of it though and hot soup later, so all was fine.

First time in my life, I got to stop through the Kennedy Space Center on our way home from Florida. Its been a dream of mine to see a rocket launch from there and unfortunately I don’t have the time available to go down and see Artemis 2 launch in person as our vacation was last week… but I DID get to see her standing proud on the platform!

One day I’ll get to see it fly in person… one day 😊

I do bird/nature photography as a hobby, this is a picture of a bluethroat I took last week. Not my best shot but I love these little guys. They migrate over early Spring so I take them as a sign that winter is on its way to being over. I hope to continue taking shots of them for years to come!

I was at IETF in Shenzhen a couple weeks ago and made my way over to Huaqiangbei where the tech malls are. I expected the cheap consumer electronics, not the floor after floor of capacitors, chips, wiring, batteries, etc. Makers dream.

Cool Graffiti i saw recently!

fishing trip

I love my weekend hikes so dearly

Saw these cute cotton candies at the mall the other day.

.

Have you ever seen a graffitied car? (sorry for the potato photo, it wasn't the best place for stopping and taking photos)

Couldn’t find my drink when I was at work, found it…

Also ignore the spring pollen in the south it gets bad.

Sure, I’ll bite. My parents recently bought a new house. Every bedroom ceiling fan has a pattern etched into the plaster above it. This one’s my favorite.

I dont go outside much. Here are a couple from the last time i went out.

Out cycling yesterday in Roero, Piemonte, Italy.

X-Men pinball machine, there's a spot under magneto with a magnet that holds the ball in place for a sec

Measuring my dog to get an appropriate size dog trailer for the bicycle.

Flower show in Shanghai with over 500000 tulips.

I tried some spicy beer. 🌶️🍺

Here's one I took of Sydney's CBD

An ominous building, lit by red light, in Salisbury

It's actually a old church that got converted to a charity-run art gallery

20°F back home but swimming weather here. May not look unusual but the tiki hut is built with an actual thatched palm roof in a traditional manner by the local indigenous people

1968 Chrysler Wagon.

Finally had a bit of time this weekend, started replacing the main seal for the rear differential so that it would hold oil. Got the whole thing apart only to realize I had ordered the wrong seal. So, going to be up on jackstands for another week. On the upside, gave me time to replace the rear shocks and also do an oil change.

A shot taken at 10pm, near complete dark, in night mode.

As a comparison

Same shot, with flash instead

I visited Frankfurt/Offenbach and liked the view.

I got to ride on mine.

Not very cool, but I give you: candy underwear.

First hot cross bun batch of the season (Paul Hollywood's recipe). We didn't end up doing the crosses (they taste like crap anyway lol) so more like hot heathen buns, but delicious none the less 😁

Beardies are funny

My mate's guitar setup is pretty cool.

Here's a rainbow that is close enough for the trees across the street to appear behind it.

On the right is my front door, on the left is my front window, with a Green Tree Frog hanging off it. (About 8cm long)

Not the best photo, but here's a stray cat sleeping on top of another stray cat.

Middle of nowhere. Nevada.

Taken last weekend.

Went outdoor rock climbing this past weekend and a group brought their bearded dragon ("Chubby") up to the crag with them

Last snow left of the season. This is what's left after a 7ft tall snow mound on my front lawn melted.

Double dry hops ale. Cant remember the name or the brewer sadly.

Last pic I took was 4am July 20th 2025 apparently

View of Los Arcos from a boat in Puerto Vallarta.

• by HIDAKA, Rieko

Sadly I do not remember the name of the author anymore, but when I saw this artwork in the National Museum of Modern Art (MOMAT) in Tokyo I just had to save it (also to show some of my artsy friends ^^).

Now obviously this is a digital image of it, but you are not looking at a digital image of a print of a digital image! I.e. all of that was painted, by hand, onto those canvases!

Edit: Added Artist after someone did the obvious and reverse image searched it, thanks by the way!

Am I late to the party?

I like to photograph little things I see along side of the road when I’m in traffic.

Took a picture of this flower while on a walk, I really like how it turned out with the rain drops on the petals

College campus in Weymouth

I got a good one of a friend's 17 yo cat. Despite her mean look in the pic, she's incredibly sweet and affectionate 🥰

My dog is a goofball. When he lost his puppy teeth, one didn’t grow back and his tongue flops out sometimes.

Got a red light on my car this morning, fixed it 😊👍

Got a nice picture from a park in Oslo

Sorry its not a great pic, I was in a hurry off to an appointment, walking past these. I love them. They're so beautiful.

Recently: A tree :)

Recently-ish: Carpenter Brut concert in Stuttgart, Germany

CosNick cupCage

This was made by my mom's partner, who sadly took his own life a few weeks ago after my mom passed away due to brain cancer in August.

I'm now emptying the apartment: there's loads of them but this is one of my favourites.

Spring has begun

New lamb at the mill/farm where I volunteer

My cat found a snake in my study a week ago. He's a good boy.

I saw a rabbit while walking to the store

Sakura trees in Japan

I found a shiny pigeon the other day! Both my friend and I have never seen one with such coloration

Heart-shapped beetroot

This was at an Unknown Mortal Orchestra (a psych rock band) gig at an old and fancy venue. At one point, the lighting was such that members of the band were silhouetted against the upper ceiling; it was also cycling such that different band members were casting shadows. The image doesn't capture the phenomenon very well, but it's enough to invoke the memory in me, as well as the awe I felt at seeing it.

Sunset yesterday. I love the way the clouds created stripes across the sky.

This pony

I recently visited my city's wastewater treatment plant for a tour. This was taken from the top of one of the giant digesters that process solids.

Not sure if that one counts... here's a non-cat photo

i too have a train, a historical moment from lake washington, of one of the very first passenger service light rail trains to cross over a floating bridge in the world!

A photo of Mount Rainier from the world’s first light rail on a floating bridge that opened yesterday in Seattle! We waited about 3 hours after it opened to even ride it. Everyone onboard cheered when we got on the bridge. It was gorgeous.

I went skiing this weekend :)

Probably not all that unique, but it's pretty cool to me because I managed to get this handheld with manual focus.

Most recent image I took. Was reading The Burrow by Kafka and realized my train stop was coming up and I didn't have my bookmark.

Parque de el Retiro, Madrid.

I just realized my gallery is looking pretty boring.

Here's the most recent photo in my camera roll 🤷🏼‍♀️. In fact it's the ONLY photo currently on my camera roll since I moved everything to my external hard drive a couple days ago to free up memory. My job has employee buffet every day all day long, so here's my lunch break and I was so glad they had leftover omelets & bacon from this morning and I was texting with my boyfriend and he asked me what I was doing so I took a picture of this to show him what I was doing at the moment:

BMX race I was at this weekend

I was showing off my rock collection

Selene enjoying her new ladder and getting a good look at her UVB bulb.

Fixed my Valve Index :)

REMEMBER TO SCRUB YOUR IMAGE METADATA BEFORE SHARING.

If privacy is your concern.

us testing out a fender we designed for our go-kart a couple weeks ago

the fender on the left wheel is the third iteration. the second iteration was on the right wheel but was ripped to shreds (this is why we test stuff).

::: spoiler we are also not super huge fans of CAD so this was our desk at the time :)

My orange trees are in full bloom. It smells amazing.

like most pet people I take a lot of pictures. These are two of the baby fish I'm raising. I feel like he put himself in time out 🙃

As I grow older, I appreciate going out to natural spaces more than ever. This one is from yesterday's excursion.

I've taken aboout 3300 photos this month apparently... so I'm going to post a few and there's definitely more I can find.

So I caught this flying past the other day, an Atlas I believe

This is one of the Barbary Macaques from the recent zoo trip.

Some kites and various corvids were fighting over food in the bear and wolf enclosure at the same zoo. Not a great picture technically-speaking but the only one of the moment the kite went for something.

I went to an art museum at the University of KY and saw this really cool piece. The artist finds old photographsof scenic places and then tries to find the exact location they were taken from. You can see that the rocks and everything still line up exactly with the newer photo.

heads up, this post blew up way more than we thought, we wanna see all your pics and chat more!! but its 0:17 and its still popping off, will come back tomorrow and look at more fun photos while working! Thank you everyone and have a lovely night!!! <3

Here's a picture of my mother's cat

And here's one of a little night stand I built, shortly after finishing

Been lucky enough to go on vacation for the first time last week, it was great

The view from a hill near my house.

Pork shoulder and brisket on the smoker for family dinner tonight.

Departing Kyiv, with the main Roshen factory (ex president Poroshenko's candy company) still displaying the damage left by a Shahed drone

just a pic of a plant from my balcony

I Spotted Nessie!

Cheese Katsu I had for lunch last week. Had topokki with it, which was a first. I liked the spice, buddies weren't as keen. Is what it is.

Messing around at a trail. Sky is to the left out of shot.

Went to a cool cafe for brunch. Good food.

Meercat

I guess some people really like giant roosters... and eggs.

i like wide shots

Porcupine sitting in a tree

I realise I haven't taken many photos of things I find interesting lately. I went over my photos for a whole year ... Most of them are work related or too personal to share.

But.

I found this ant colony with their brood inside a friend's pantry. I only moved the items around a bit, exposing them, and they moved the whole colony overnight.

You don't say!

Literally "a random building" I saw while waiting for a timed museum visit nearby. This is a patriot's monument. The building on the back (which was what caught my attention in the first place) turned out to be the city prison

The view of the inner harbor from our hotel room.

Tiny Momo, not allowed on the couch

To be perfectly honest I've sadly had little means to go around the town, bus tickets add up. But snow is melting, life is good, spring is coming.

If you want more riveting photography like this, check out my Pixelfed! Features both new and old photos.

I, too, took a picture of a train.

Cat enjoying a shot at a bar.

I was trying to find out who she is because she looks familiar, I am pretty sure she is an actress. She seems like Margaret Qualley, but what movie or show is this from?

The more common bsr cornbread skillets are 9 inches. It took me 6 months to find one that wasn't already restored. Meaning it was "as found" condition.

Additionally... It is adorable. Haha

Edit: apparently I can't see the text I type in when I upload a photo to a comment. So here is what I said .

This is a 6 inch Birmingham stove and range corn bread skillet. And the image is from Snapchat

Less so art, but still interesting to some.

Foreground: I'm learning how to read and write to electronically erasable-programmable read only memory (EEPROM) chips.

Background: I bought a battery driven LED decoration. I cut off the battery container and attached a DC adapter instead. This was the first time I ever spliced a wire.

Also, who's "we"?

I was trying my hand at macro photography

Insanely thick fog here in Sweden a couple of weeks ago. It became less cozy when we found out it wasn't actual fog but smog that had traveled up from continental Europe.

Say hello to Mia

I too have a train!

azalea in full bloom

A spicy carbonated drink.

A photo I took of my grandmother's car after a vehicle we were following blew its turbo and showered us in engine oil.

Taken during the heat wave in SF a few weeks ago while fleeing the temperature of my apartment. Admittedly not the rarest of photos

View from the top of yesterdays mountain bike ride!

I'm actually going to share a couple, and it's from 29 December, which is… pretty recently. I had to take my wife to work on that day to grab a couple of things. It was early in the morning, and I got to drive on Duke of Gloucester St. which is the main drag in Colonial Williamsburg. It's shut to traffic from 9am-9pm or something like that, so we were there early enough to actually drive on it. I worked there (remotely) five years; my wife has now worked there about eight years. So I didn't get down there much, alas.

This is the Charlton Coffee House, a replica of the original where many pre-revolutionary conversaions took place - Williamsburg was a very important city in colonial times, although that's diminished in our education.

This photo was taken from the same place as the above, just looking out the front. You can see the sign for the Charlton, and the building straight ahead is the Capitol. It's a replica, although it looks like with material that has popped up in the last century that some of what they built it based on was a bit off, annoyingly. But it was the best they had at the time.

Directly ahead is the Water Store House and to the left is the Dubois Grocer which sells candy. I believe these are all original structures.

This is the James Anderson House, which I believe is also original. It serves as the main building for the actor interpreters along with some management staff. When I got hired in Feb 2020, I had an office on the 2nd floor for about two weeks before we got furloughed for Covid. After that, I worked remotely for the rest of my time.

And this is looking down Duke of Gloucester to the west.

Colonial Williamsburg is the largest outdoor museum in the Americas. It's about a mile wide and about a half mile tall. The streets are public, so you can walk around with no ticket, but to get in to almost every place does require a ticket. There many operating trades, staffed by folks working using colonial techniques. From the blacksmith behind the James Anderson House to wigmakers, silversmiths, coopers (barrel makers), many more, it's pretty awesome. There's tours of a number of the houses along with the Palace and the Capitol, and actor interpreters and Nation Builders put on shows portraying historical events or that show everyday situations, or sometimes like plausible dramatic events.

One thing I'm really proud of is that they teach about slavery, with actors portraying historical enslaved people; and they're not shy about teaching about our full historic past - good and bad. There's even the American Indian Initiative with native folks portraying indigenous people from that time frame - some of whom lived in cities like Williamsburg (as did, for example, free Black people).

So not only can you hear awesome history from people portraying folks like George and Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, but lesser known folks like Rev. Gowan Pamphlet who were also influential in our history and help tell the full story.

My phone decided my 128GB SD card is corrupt today, so no photos for you. Reminder to back up your mobile!

A fox. It (I don't know whether male or female) was in a city. It didn't seem too fearful of people, so I tried following it. When we got to a darker area it sat down, and so did I.

When it got up, I followed it, ending up on volleyball playground. With sand. The fox started running around in it. I noticed it would kick some sand, then jump there.
So I squat down, and threw a handful of sand to the side. This did work. It approached me to arm's reach, but would spring away at any movement. I accidentally scared it off when the fox circled very closely around me and I turned around - I was worried about getting peed on. Foxes do that a lot.

Some 40 minutes later, I lost it at a construction site.

I completely lost the sight of it after I circled around to enter there.

Anyway, not a picture, but I also have some bit of video:

All is B&W because I used IR camera. I don't know how much of that foxes see, but I hope it's at least far less than if I used regular flash.

Himalayas

I found a Ghost Magpie. These fellas are usually a pretty black and green colour, but sometimes they have a genetic abnormality that makes 'em brown!

I have gotten back into scale modeling. Bonus points if you catch the anachronism.

Driftwood fence

This is a magnet of a bear morphed with corn on my refrigerator behind a Snapchat filter of window blinds.

Sorry, it's a photo of my newborn twins. But they are wearing an outfit similar to this one.

In my garden..

Ebike gang rise up. Overvolted Walmart specials and a refurbished electric scooter from 2008 with lithium upgrade and a brushless hub motor.

someone was very excited about the bus coming

Last pictures i took where back in February, from independence day parade, but as it contains my kids then I'm not going to post those.

Then in January, though not worth posting as those were trying to glance into a tight space inside a wall for some piping repair work.

Then back in November. Setting up Christmas lights, by just hanging the whole box up on the window handle. But once again that contains too many identifying details to post online.

I like capturing buildings from cool angles like this.

The long shadows going into my backyard had me memorized

Here is one I took in Barcelona right before the US bombed Iran.

My sweet bunny girl, Nara, sleeping.

Man being chased on a rope bridge on either side by a bear and a wolf (all fake in a Cabellas)

My cats sleep in the most human way.

They still sell these...

The insides of my Nintendo DSi.

Also: why are these cool pictures not on c/pics ?! You all are making the coolest pictures but do not share any. I mean me neither but let’s change that :)

I mostly have personal photos, food or general landscape photography in my library, so here is an older one:

I was recently in Auckland and loved the gayborhood there

Aletsch glacier, Switzerland

This hydrant has seen better days. Good thing I was wearing my boots or my feet would've been wet.

I saw a gray fox on my bike ride home today. Unfortunately it saw me and ran away while I was pulling out my phone to take a picture, so I wasn't able to get a photo
