Cut the lawn yesterday for the first time in three months.
Garden with newly-mown lawn, trees in distance, small trees / bushes to the sides, and flower pots on patio in foreground. A folded washing line stands to attention.

Es wird mal wieder Zeit, mein Lieblingsfoto zu posten. 🇩🇰😍 Das war im August 2017 in Søndervig in Dänemark. Ich hoffe ihr seht die zwei Personen auf der Düne stehen. 🤭😊
Am Horizont liegt die Sonne tief und sendet ein breites, warmes Lichtband über den Himmel. Die Wolken darüber sind in mehreren Schichten angeordnet – einige dicht und dunkel, andere dünn und vom Licht durchzogen. Die Farben reichen von kräftigem Orange und Gelb bis zu Blau‑ und Grautönen in den oberen Bereichen.
Im unteren Teil des Bildes erkennt man eine flache Dünenlinie mit vereinzelten kleinen Strukturen. Zwei Personen stehen auf einer Anhöhe und zeichnen sich als dunkle Silhouetten gegen den hellen Himmel ab.

The WAR ON WALKING has taken many forms around the world. It’s often as simple as how we signal who space is and isn’t for. Once our eyes are opened to all the ways we’ve prioritized cars over people, we can’t unsee it. Frustrating photo contributed by @stadsplanering.bsky.social. #WarOnWalking
Background photo from North Macedonia, where “sidewalks are mostly used to park cars” as explained by photo contributor Carl-Henrik Barnekow. Text says “Don’t buy the lie that there’s a war on cars. They’ve been waging a war on walking for a century.” Via the Urban Truth Collective. #WarOnCars #UrbanTruth

10 Sep 2026. #gard #france 49-mile round-trip bike ride from Uzès to Tarascon, the return against the Mistral. Surprisingly, instead of being exhausted, I was elated afterwards. Little did I know that two days later I was to get my come-uppance, since recovered. @ccohanlon.bsky.social
Pont du Gard, early morning before the tourists arrive. River Gard(on). From Pont du Gard. Early.Excellent cycle track on former rail line near Beaucaire. Tunnel well-lit and a respite from the heat.Shop window in Tarascon promoting van Gogh. Battered worker's van proclaiming 'Peinture' parked beside it. Peinture = house painter.

I am often asked “What, if push came to shove, is your favourite stile you have ever climbed over on a walk in the countryside?” and it’s always an easy question to answer, since there can only ever be one winner.
A stile in the middle of a field, surrounded by no fence of hedge, which, when you climb it, takes you to a nicer parallel dimension, containing no algorithms.

Russian war criminals hunted a vegetable seller through Kherson with an FPV drone. ㅤ He was unarmed. The drone followed him and struck. He was wounded, but survived. ㅤ This is deliberate FPV terror against civilians, filmed and treated as something to boast about. The world must see it.

42 years ago, Mary Manning — a 21-year-old Dublin cashier — refused to ring up South African grapefruit. She was suspended. Ten colleagues walked out with her, and their strike lasted almost three years, until Ireland became the first Western country to ban apartheid goods.

Sailing past Lismore Lighthouse on Eilean Musdile, viewed from the paddle steamer Waverley after leaving Oban, #Scotland #ECK #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Monochrome #photography #travel #landscapephotography #lighthouse
A dramatic black and white photograph of Lismore Lighthouse (Eilean Musdile) off the coast of Oban, Scotland, captured from the water. The stark white lighthouse tower and its walled keeper's cottages sit on a low, rocky islet in the midground. The sea in the foreground is dark and choppy, while the sky above is filled with heavy, dark storm clouds, creating an intense contrast with the bright white structure.

I try to minimise my visits to #Wetherspoons pubs, but after a cycle ride, you can buy this 'Freedom Breakfast' for only £3.40 - less than a cup of coffee in most coffee shops. Ridiculously good value. #UK
Two fried eggs, two hash browns, two pieces of bacon, two half tomatoes and two ounces of beans. On a recognisable Wetherspoons plate.

I'm not seriously interested in cars but saw this Daimler from 1960's when having stroll by the cricket pitch today. See alt text. #oxted #Daimler #policecar #UK
Daimler sports car, ex London Met Police, bought as part of a set to chase 'ton-up boys' - motorcycle racers in 60's and 70's. The police radio is still on the dashboard.Check out bell on grille  - the car could reach 130mph - and was one of a batch bought specifically to discourage hi-speed bike races. The death toll reduced after the introduction of these cars.
