sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 21hI just invested in a smaller camera to have in my pocket rather than lugging around a camera bag. It's a 2nd hand A6700 with the flare magnet Viltrox 28mm f/4.5 fixed aperture lens that I bought a while back and never fell in love with. As this is an APS-C body, my lens behaves like a 42mm f/6.7! 2120
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I was in a 12th-century village in August and thought I'd do some street pics. When I got back to the rental, the best picture in the batch was me putting an ND filter on. So, if you love medieval architecture, I give you... My hand! #selfportrait #photography #ECK 0162
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Mallard in the Loing. The ducks near the bridge at Grez-sur-Loing are so used to humans that they often approach to see what you have for them. #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin #Photography 0353

sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The bridge in Grez-sur-Loing has been painted so many times. I liked the play of sunlight under one of its arches. #BlueSkyArtShow #ClassicMono #ECK 2282

sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 19/09/2026We have a Mirabelle plum tree at the end of our garden, with which Mrs D uses to make jam. We got over 10kg from the tree; birds scoffed the rest. 4293

sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I was at the checkout at Lidl when this happened. I can spend days preparing a picture then hours taking it then half a dry in post to achieve a result less interesting than this. [sighs] 1262
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I put my phone in selfie mode and my cat took the pictures. OK, he rubbed his whiskers on the edge of my phone and photos were taken. He'll be wanting an instagram profile next... 1252
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Pics of Gordes, which sits on a rocky spur in the Luberon. The other pictures show the château and the backstreets. 0202
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 03/09/2026In this part of France, it's illegal to refuse a glass of beer or wine at lunchtime. As a law-abiding citizen I'm having a half of the local brew... 0121

sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Yes, isn't it! I hadn't realised what a really good bike was like to ride. It's a delight. I went out for a spin and came home 40km later! 110

sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Last night's storm was magnificent! Rolling thunder and lightning were constant. Apparently, this is a Mesoscale Convective System where cloud cells roll overhead striking one another. 1100
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I've found a crafty way of swimming 1.3km in seawater without ever being out of my depth! I just have to make sure to swim at high tide otherwise I'm sloshing around in mud! 060
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 03/08/2026A beautiful 1st-century sculpture of Hermaphrodite in the Musée Bonnat-Helleu in Bayonne. Myth has it that the son of Hermes and Aphrodite was seen bathing by nymph Salmacis. She fell in love and asked the gods that they never be separated, so they fused them into one being. #sculpture #marble #art 061
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Three survivors of medieval Capbreton: the Maison du Rey (15th C), where Henri de Navarre, future Henri IV, stayed in 1583; and the timber-framed Maisons des Anglais, among the last traces of a once-thriving port at the Adour's old mouth. #Landes #History #Capbreton 1162

sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 14/07/2026OK, this brings to an end my series on cows... for now! It has merely whetted my appetite as my fascination has only deepened. 2171
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 14/07/2026A bull and his babe. I watched for a while. They were inseparable. Occasionally, she would lift her tail so he could sniff her gear. This is bovine foreplay. As she approaches oestrus, she releases pheromones. An organ in his mouth detects her cycle days before she is ready to be mounted. He waits! 0101
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 14/07/2026There is a herd of Charolais in a field I drive through to buy bread. I finally got around to taking pics. Unfortunately, I got a wall of rear ends. Apparently, cows have a very distinct hierarchy and naturally tend to look the same way. There are "friendships' as certain cows always graze together. 2212
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I took these this evening, looking west. That is Fontainebleau in the foreground. The fire is actually several kilometres beyond, but it looks dangerously close. 0151
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 13/07/2026A friend filmed this today. This Canadair scoops up 6000 litres of water from the Seine to dump on the fire. It is incredibly dangerous work as they fly with no margin for error. The pilots are absolute heroes. 0141
sebadee @sebadee.bsky.social · 13/07/2026The fire that has ravaged over 1000 hectares of forest nearby is still raging. It is about 12km from where I live on the other side of Fontainebleau. 7241
