'Unter der Oberfläche' #FotoVorschlag Oh, hello! #Similans #Diverlife #re-post
Underwater view of big, coral-encrusted boulders. In the middle distances a diver in black kit, obviously wearing short is diving sideways into the picture, legs spread for what is called a frog kick. Arms crossed, she (that’s me!) hasjust breathed out and a cloud of bubbles rise abover her head. Decent visibility, dark tuquoise water.

'Unter der Oberfläche' #FotoVorschlag A comet, named after the black dot on its body. Super shy and hard to find. 🐠 #Maldives #DiverLife
An almost perfectly oval fish surrounded by corals. It is mainly black, with a gradient to blue (top), green (bottom) and yellow (tail). it is covered in tiny white spots, the stars, which highlight the one dark spot at rear end of its dorsal fin, the comet, which gives it its common name.

Ah, no. As a user you go into your settings and decide in general, what you want to see. See a screenshot of my settings below? That determines how images appear.

She’s had her share of harvests and is now watching from the sidelines. 🫒🍸🕊️ #Puglia #autumn #olives #ThickTrunkTuesday
An old, dead olive tree, trunk split into two, seen from below. Grey-brown branches reaching into the bright blue sky. Grean grass with yellow flowers below, dark green bushes on the horizon.

Harvest time. 🍸🫒🕊️ #Puglia #olives
A single black olive on the stony ground, a little twig still connected. There is a scrape in the greyge stone from top centre to bottom right. The olive is covered in a white dust. It throws a deep black shadow on the left

Go to your camera roll & search for “boat”. Post the one you like.
A dark sea in the bottom half, a cloudy sky in the top half if the picture. On the horizon on the right a small island within a turquoise  atoll barely visible  on the left a traditional maldivian boat with a high round bow sprit driving left

Update: the difficult (medical) thing went well. Results in early November 🤞 Then there was an unexpected bit of bad news. But the sun’s out and I am house hunting 😎 #Puglia #Olives #autumn

Difficult week ahead. Wish me luck? #WalkingOffTheNerves #Puglia
4 green oranges and their leaves dangling over a grey stone wall. Sunset behind a field. It’s so dark on the ground you can hardly see the deep dark green of the cop. Ebullient trees line the horizon on the righ. The setting sun on the left gives light and colour to the blue sky with white, grey and orange whisps of cloud.

Re-homed the last of the babies just now, to a more abundant and open garden in the neighbourhood. I’ll miss the annoying little basil-killers and everywhere-poopers. 🦗🦗🦗 #invertebrate #Puglia

True now as much as in 2015. #update
The top left of an arched doorway - brown, glistening wood in beige stone - with two rectangular signs, white on transparent perspex? They read ‘SIESTA’ and ‘PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB’.

Things are still not right in my world and I’ll be (mostly) gone for another month or so. But I just went for a walk before the mid-day heat and stole some delicious figs from a tree. And the pomegranates are doing well too. #Puglia #StunDay #GoodThings
A pomegranate hanging from a branch, seen at an angle from slightly below its, ahem, equator. Its skin is beginning to switch from green to red. Bright sunshine, more branches with fruit in the back.

This olive grower has given up the fight against the Xylella bacterium 🔥 #ThickTrunkTuesday #Puglia
A burnt out olive tree left a completely blackened shape like a modern sculpture standing upright. A few dead twigs behind it, signs of dousing the fire on the ground. Completely dried ground all around and a blindingly blue sky above. You can almost see the heat.

Dreaming of holidays. ⛱️ #Puglia #AdventuresAwait
An old and super dirty, red caravan with yellow, ahem, racing stripes, seen side-on in a field of wild flowers, under a mainly blue sky. There are some wire thingies stacked in the roof and the door is open.

They are fantastic. Little tricycle lorries made by, mostly, Fiat. They are called ape, which is Italian for bee. People use them in the vineyards and olive groves. If it weren’t so silly, I’d want one. This is an older version. #Ape #Puglia #DreamCar

Parking lot. #AroundTheCorner (actually, from the chair in front of my door) #Ape #UrbanGaze #Puglia
A stone wall with a weird stair-like structure in the centre, a telly antenna at the top and a white drain pipe going down on the left. Bottom centre a tiny Italian agricultural tricycle  lorry seen in silhouette. It’s dusk and a curlicued streetlight is on, casting yellow light contrasting with the Prussian blue of the sky.

Dealing with ‘things’, so slowing down a bit here. But I still love you lot. And I got to go to the sea today 💙 #Puglia #BeachLife

Alles goed. Working a lot. Drove to the sea on Saturday, against strong winds. Mamma mia, the pain I’m in now! Lessons are starting later today, so I just went and bought myself an outside chair. I love my bike 🤣 And you?
An orange plastic chair upside down on the back of a black bicycle, which is parked in front of a supermarket. Glass windows on the left, some parking and a trolley line in the back.

#VroomVroom Found in front of my supermarket. No, not AI, this is portrait mode. And the exquisite restauration efforts by a neighbour. #BlueskyMonday (just) #Fiat600
A tiny bronze coloured, very old (rounded edges everywhere) but exquisitely restore var parked on a street. It reflects the bright sun. A wall with hedge on the left, grass in front of it, houses and a small corner of bright blue sky behind.

Rome does doors quite well. #ADoorableThursday #Thursgate #Pantheon #Roma
A very tall, bronze double door with classical details in an even higher beige stone wall, also with lots of carvings. There are commemorative plaques left and right and classical pillars imagined as reliefs. Just impressive.

Outlook. #WednesdayWindows #Puglia
A carved stone window frame without a window in it. On the right a drain pipe which must leak, because plants are growing out of the stone and algae cover that part of the wall. Overall impression is of shabby chic. Maybe too shabby, even.

Surviving. 🍸🫒🕊️🌳🌱 #ThickTrunkTuesday #Olive #Puglia
A black and white shot of the trunk of a very, very old olive tree. So old that its centre was hollowed out and split open so you can see the inside. Only a very few thin twigs have survived to grow out of the remainder of a branch on the left. It stands in a meadow of long grasses, a dry stone wall is just visible bottom left.
