UA🇺🇦:Плівкові фотографи небезпечні люди. Це офіційно.
Учора на лекції з електрохімії професор спокійно каже: «Платинові катоди можна використовувати, щоб срібло з фіксажу збирати після проявлення плівки».
А потім, ніби між іншим: «Я ж сподіваюся, ніхто зараз на плівку не знімає… бо в нас якось зникли всі електроди. Єдиний, хто тоді пішов на пенсію, професор, який фотографією захоплювався»…

А я що, я мовчу 🤣

A black and white film photo of a succulent in a textured mug placed on a windowsill. Two thin plant supports stick out beside the plant. The soft natural light highlights the plant’s texture and casts a clear shadow onto the surface below.

They are watching us

UA🇺🇦:Іноді здається, що міста мають очі. І не тільки в камерах спостереження, а й у маскаронах, що визирають з фасадів. Вони нічого не говорять, лише мовчки спостерігають. Може, щось знають про нас таке, чого ми самі ще не усвідомили.
А якщо відійти від пустої філософії, то в мене майже закінчуються фото з тестових плівок. А довідзнімати нові нема коли - сесія наближається. Скоро вже нічого буде постити. Треба все ж таки буде наробити собі плівок кадрів на 12, може швидше трошки справа піде.

A black and white film photo of a brick building in Saint Paul with sculpted faces—mascarons—mounted above each window. The figures appear to gaze outward solemnly. The grainy texture of the film adds a moody, timeless atmosphere. Reflections of neighboring architecture are visible in the glass.

Good morning. 🌳🌳🌳

1 April 2025

I just returned from Moon Base Alpha this morning. This secret Space Force facility, located on the far side of the moon, was originally established by the German Luftwaffe in 1943 with extraterrestrial assistance. In 1945, the American Air Force covertly took control of the base. Renowned scientist and engineer Wernher von Braun played a crucial role by providing vital information that enabled the USAF to secure the base swiftly. With the creation of the Space Force as a new branch of the armed forces, management of the base naturally transitioned to them. The existence of Moon Base Alpha was recently disclosed to the public via The History Channel. Ah, and remember—on a day like this, not everything is as it seems. Happy April Fools'!

Floral Threads of Spring This image beautifully showcases oak tree catkins swaying from slender branches. The catkins are long, delicate clusters of yellow-green flowers, highlighted against a blurred background. Their intricate texture and natural drape capture the essence of early spring, as the oak tree begins its annual reproductive cycle. The composition emphasizes the vibrancy and elegance of nature in its small details.

Eye Contact

In case you think birds don't notice you on the beach, here's a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) that locked eyes with me yesterday as it flew past while I captured its photo.

"The oldest known Laughing Gull was at least 22 years old when it was killed in Maine in 2009, the same state where it had been banded in 1987." - allaboutbirds.org

Enjoy stunning images of gulls and terns? Check out my photo gallery at:

"This photograph captures a laughing gull elegantly soaring through the sky. The gull is in mid-flight, its wings spread wide and tips darker in color, offering a striking contrast to the lighter, grayish-white of its body. The cloudy background enhances the bird’s prominence, emphasizing its aerodynamic grace. In the bottom-right corner, the image is signed "© Swede's Photographs," adding a personalized touch to the artistry. It's a fantastic depiction of the beauty and tranquility of nature in motion!" - Copilot

Dawn's Silent Hunter

An early morning stroll along the beach offers fantastic photo opportunities, and this great blue heron (Ardea herodias) in its tranquil vigil is a perfect example. Its slightly silhouetted form, graceful and still, stands against the softly illuminated ripples of the blue ocean, creating a scene of serene beauty.

Explore a curated collection of heron and egret images in my photo gallery. Take a look!

"The image features a great blue heron. It stands elegantly in shallow water, its long neck stretched gracefully as it gazes to the left. The calm water mirrors its silhouette, adding a serene reflection effect. The lighting highlights the heron beautifully, creating a peaceful and majestic scene of nature.

Good morning, friends. 🏵️🏵️🏵️

31 March 2025

Everything outdoors is turning green—it feels like it's happening all at once. Boom—it's Spring! Do you remember the old electric lawn mowers? Not the modern battery-operated ones, but the kind that relied on a long extension cord. I recall we had one in Spring Valley, California, back in the 1960s. The real challenge was avoiding the cord, which was trickier than it seemed when you were mindlessly walking back and forth—or in circles—across the lawn. I wonder if they still make those. I do have a corded hedge trimmer, so maybe they do. Incidentally, my wife cut the cord the very first time she used it.

"The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month." - Henry Van Dyke

Golden Glow "The image showcases a close-up of a stunning yellow rose in full bloom. Its tightly arranged petals create a mesmerizing spiral pattern at the center. The vibrant yellow hue dominates the scene, while hints of surrounding flowers and lush green leaves provide a beautiful contrast. The overall composition has depth and an artistic touch, with a visible signature at the bottom left reading "© Swede's Photographs."" - Copilot

Good morning. ☁️🌧️😪

30 March 2025

I believe the barometric pressure is on the lower side of normal, which might contribute to the feeling of sleepiness. When the pressure drops, the air becomes less dense, so we inhale less oxygen with each breath. It’s fascinating, though I can’t claim to fully understand it. Many years ago, during college, I took a freshman course in Physical Geography. In that class, I learned about clouds, air currents, ocean currents, weather, rocks, and soil. While I’ve forgotten much of what I learned back then, I do remember why the Atlantic coast waters are warm and the Pacific coast waters are cold. After all these years, it’s amazing how the natural world continues to intrigue and inspire curiosity.

"Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative. - Oscar Wilde 😉😏

Harmony in Chaos "This image shows a stunning flock of black skimmers soaring above a body of water. Their unique black and white plumage contrasts beautifully with their vivid red beaks, creating an eye-catching display. The scene is alive with motion as the birds take flight, their movements weaving a mesmerizing pattern against the water backdrop. This captures the essence of black skimmers, celebrated for their graceful and specialized feeding method—skimming the water's surface for their meals." - Copilot

Dragonfly's Pause

I find this image serenely appealing, though I'm not certain I got the composition just right. Look closely, and you'll see a dragonfly perched on the tip of the dried branch. It's not possible to determine the species of the dragonfly from this photo—only that it is, indeed, a dragonfly.

I don’t upload all the photos I share here to my Pixels gallery. I only post my personal favorites, while some don’t make the cut. I usually give myself a couple of days to decide how I feel about them before uploading.

Feel free to explore my gallery here:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.c

"This image showcases a serene, close-up shot of a dragonfly delicately perched on the tip of a thin, dried branch. Its semi-transparent wings glisten with fragility, creating an almost ethereal feel. The blurred green foliage in the background offers a soft, natural contrast that highlights the dragonfly as the central subject. The photograph is signed "© Swede's Photographs," emphasizing its artistic presentation." - Copilot

Good morning. 🦥🌧️☔

29 March 2025

Rainy day, just right for running away, or is it lazy day? Is there, in fact, a difference between a rainy and a lazy day? I know for a fact that there is because I have a lot more lazy days than rainy days. As a matter of fact, I'm having a lazy day right now, which just happens to also be a rainy day. Hmmm... if it weren't a rainy day today, it wouldn't be a lazy day because I would mow parts of my lawn. I'll concede that rainy days are conducive to lazy days.

I looked it up—it's actually "Lazy day just right for lovin' away," which are lyrics from Lazy Day by Spanky and Our Gang.

This image captures a breathtaking sunset, with clouds painted in shades of fiery red, orange, and golden yellow. The dramatic play of light and shadow in the sky contrasts beautifully with the silhouettes of trees in the foreground. The combination of intense colors and intricate cloud formations makes this scene feel alive and deeply atmospheric.

Got One 🎣

I believe this is a Sandwich Tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis). I took this photograph from the balcony of a cruise ship while docked in Galveston. Although I captured several shots, I initially struggled to identify what I was seeing because the bird's beak appeared deformed. After closely examining this photo, it became clear that the bird had successfully caught a fish.

Enjoy stunning images of gulls and terns? Check out my photo gallery at:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.c

"The image captures a dynamic moment of a sandwich tern flying over water, clutching a fish firmly in its beak. The bird's outstretched wings exhibit a striking contrast of black and white, and the background reveals a greenish body of water, suggesting the bird's proximity to a lake or sea. The scene highlights the tern's agility and hunting success. The photograph is notably credited to "Swede's Photographs," as indicated in the corner of the image—a wonderful portrayal of nature in action!" - Copilot
