Bavaria 🤩
A view of the mountains near Bayrischzell in Bavaria. The sky is blue, the sun was shining and there are some cows in the fields.A group of pine trees on the mountain trail in Bavaria A scary walking path up to an observation platform at the top of a mountain. There are people walking on the path, which has lots of switchbacks and is terrifying. I don’t know how none of these people were holding on to the rails as I couldn’t let go. The view is a bit hazy due to the clouds. The top of a mountain in Bavaria, and some misty views towards more mountains in the distance

Morning
A beautiful blue sky at Danes Dyke beach. With chalk boulders in the foreground and limestone cliffs to the right. More beach, with sand showing as well. Sun on rocky beach. Blue sky. Glorious Same again with a Welsh springer spaniel zooming off towards the sea.

Norfolk skies.
Old Hunstanton beach looking west with the sun low in a cloudy sky. The e beach is deserted apart from two figures walking in the distance. Old Hunstanton beach, early evening with the sun behind the clouds. The tide is out, and the sun is reflecting on the damp sands. More of the same. 
Sun, sea, sand. Moody skies. And again.

Northumberland. Never disappoints.
A large expanse of sandy beach, almost deserted on a sunny July day in the school holidays. Just perfect. Another sandy beach with clear water and a dramatic sky with rain in the distance. A pink sky as the sun sets over Amble harbour. Two Welsh Springer Spaniels enjoying a paddle in the freezing cold North Sea.

Beach day.
Two Welsh springer spaniels on Druridge beach. The tide is out, the sky is cloudy but it’s not work, so all is well with the world. An attempt at an arty picture of a line of concrete tank traps on the beach, photobombed by the rear end of a Welshie.

Oh my goodness, my @manderleypress.bsky.social package has arrived. Perfectly wrapped birthday presents for my daughter. Now I’m trying to think of a reason to buy some more… 📚

All the children hone today for a belated birthday and early graduation celebration. Had to ditch the barbecue due to the rain, so homemade bagels instead 🥯

Cheeky Monday off to stretch out the birthday weekend with a trip to the beach. Perfect.
A Welsh Springer spaniel laying down on the beach, posing for a photograph with the sea in the background. A younger Welsh Springer spaniel running on the beach with his rainbow coloured mini rugby ball in his mouth. Living his best life. A Moxy stretch of sand and a choppy North Sea looking south from Hunmanby Gap on the Yorkshire coast.

Visited the Yorkshire Museum yesterday to see some of the items from the Melsonby hoard. It’s a great museum, where this hoard would be a perfect addition to their wonderful collection.

There's not much space, out in space. A map of the current individual pieces of space junk being tracked by the ESA & USAF. With every launch that reaches orbit, the chances of a Kessler cascade happening rise. Watch ESA's new short doco: www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...
A still from the ESA's newest documentary short on space debris.

What is a Kessler cascade? I'm glad you asked. Ever seen that movie "Gravity" where one thing hits another thing and bits from that collision hit other things and breaks those into more bits that eventually take out the Shuttle? That, except it can go on to wipe out *everything* in orbit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

Bonjour
A picture of the buildings at one end of the Jardins du Palais Royal in Paris, with an attractive cloudy sky with the sun shining behind the clouds. A fancy metal water feature in the foreground with people enjoying the spring sunshine. Precisely manicured trees in an avenue along one side of the Jardin du Palais Royal in Paris. Glimpses of pink magnolias in full flower behind on a warm spring day with a mainly blue sky. A fountain near the National Library Paris, with a cute couple taking a selfie. The lady wearing a striking red outfit with matching beret.

Sign (quite high up) on a tree warning Do Not Urinate Here. A dramatic orange and purple sky over the golf course, ahead of a thunderstorm. It’s a hot and very sticky evening.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 11/01/2025
We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation. The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them. We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed. (Photo: buff.ly/4jd1BiU)
The iconic railway tracks leading into the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, framed under a vibrant orange and blue sunset sky. The tracks converge at the main entrance gate with the guard tower silhouetted against the fiery hues of the setting sun.
