Three trees, one with orange leaves, one with green leaves, and one with almost no leaves, above green grass. Behind, an older building. To the left, an older building with a little round tower. In the background, towering above the rest, a rectangular and modern building with Arndale written on it in red.

@Gargron are you going to visit Liverpool? It’s such a beautiful city (in my biased opinion)

Derick Rethans

@Gargron Say hi to Turing, I think he's on a bench in that park!

George Yang

@Gargron A mix of modern and old buildings, love it!

I've never wanted to lie down under a tree with a book so much before. Cumbria.

A mighty tree on a hill with roots looking like they might hug you, and a canopy that extends across the entire frame, providing a lot of shade.

Was very pleased to find this among all the other classics right at the front.

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov as a hardcover book. The cover is red with white lines and triangles. In the background are other books by Jules Verne and Charles Dickens.

@Gargron

And there’s a brilliant opera, Der Meister und Margarita, music and libretto by York Höller that I saw in about 1990. Conducted by Pierre Boulez. A surreal evening!

Stepping stones. Cumbria.

A woman (my wife) dressed in a red sweater and plaid skirt, wearing a black backpack, is crossing a river on stepping stones almost entirely submerged by water. She is using an umbrella to touch the next stone as she leans forward.

@Gargron Looks great! The color looks more vibrant to me than your previous shots.

@Gargron Looks like a still from one of those "1000 ways to die" videos.

Path through the countryside. Cumbria.

A road covered in orange leaves, framed by old stone walls covered in moss, with green but yellowing trees on either side.

@Gargron you seem to be really enjoying Cumbria specifically. If you don't mind a somewhat terrifying drive, look up Hardknott Pass. It's Britain's steepest road and has lots of insane corners, most notably a hairpin turn where if you come off of the road, you're not going to be getting back on to it again (I nearly died there myself the first time I drove it, in a clapped out Ford S-Max, pitch black and heavy rain!), but there's the remains of a roman Fort there which is a must-see!

I was at the Real Camera shop in Manchester and saw a Mamiya medium format camera in person. I wish I had the 800 pounds to drop on it 😅 Bought an amber lens filter instead to see if I can get better colors in this weather.

Chances are you could get it cheaper here in Canada. We have a vintage Film camera show twice a year

Red door. Cumbria.

A bright red door on a corner entrance of a grey stone building with moss all over it. A bike leans on the wall next to the door. The signage above the door says "The Hermitage".

@Gargron pls adjust the black point! Most scanners struggle with this. Mine, for example, wouldn't yield rgb values below 15-20. This results in washed out picture. Here's ur pic with the black point adjusted. I did this on my phone so it might look w little wacky. Normally you'd check a histogram and adjust the black and white point so that there's no empty space (0s) on either side.

@Gargron Perhaps *this* is where you wish to move to! 🙂

An abandoned house. Cumbria.

A porch entrance of an abandoned house that is slowly being overtaken by nature. The trees still have most of their leaves, but some of them are already yellow.

Since Mastodon I finally know what camera to get - really want to get into that hobby. A friend of mine suggested the A6300 for hobbyists, and I might do that to shoot similarly awesome pictures like yours :blobcatmeltlove:

@Gargron seems you have a thing for broken windows lately 😉 great picture

Eugen Rochko

This shot cannot be replicated because they replaced this window the next day.

#WindowFriday #FensterFreitag

An old single glaze window covered in dust, with a white frame, looking out towards a grey stone house and roof with chimney. One of the tiles of the window is replaced with a black board, and a note on top asks in handwriting to please not touch the windows.

@Gargron What is wrong with me, that I immediately want to touch that window to find out why. 🫢

Eugen Rochko

I wish I could live here. It’s so beautiful 🥲

A view on Rydal Water, with a lone tree on the front, and a forest on the other side, as well as a mountain, everything in autumn colors.

@Gargron Gorgeous! I would love to be surrounded by nature every day. So good for the soul.

@Gargron Come to Glasgow. All the benefits of a university city with a couple of rivers and canals running right through it so you think you're in the country. I came from California and have absolutely no regrets.

👻👻 Flippin' spook, Tucker!

@Gargron Ahhh we were on holiday in Grasmere just a month ago. Staying literally about 20 metres away from where you took that photo.

And yes, it's a beautiful village in a beautiful part of the UK.

What a difference a month makes to the weather, though!

The street leading out of Grasmere. In the distance are Lake District hills, and there is a blue sky with light fluffy clouds across it.
Space Hobo Actual

@Gargron The pavements, alas, are miniscule. Clearly a space built before cars that then had to have two lanes of pollution and danger carved out of it Because Progress...

For the first time in a country that celebrates Halloween during Halloween and I like it.

3 orange carved pumpkins on grey stone in rainy weather.
Ryan Lounsbury

@Gargron I’ve always enjoyed Halloween. More the fun/spooky bits and not the scary/horror bits.

It’s the midway between the Autumnal Equinox and Winter Solitce as my favorite time of year. :)

@Gargron

Edited for spelling:
Halloween is one of my favourite holiday seasons.
Are you planning to wear a costume?

Thinking about the #Tumblr engineer who said they believe interoperability with the social web would just be a cost center and wouldn’t bring any profits. The point is not how interoperability affects the bottom line, the point is that it allows your platform to survive in an ever changing social media landscape and have a bottom line at all. If #Pebble was part of the social web, they would have had a network of 1.8M active users, not 1,000, and perhaps wouldn’t have had to shut down.

@Gargron I'm really sorry to see #Pebble go. They had a lot of really good ideas, and not enough people to get critical mass. They should just move the domain and user accounts to a Mastodon server and let the community figure out next steps.

@Gargron "too soon," I cry, clutching my chest and trying to connect a pebble to my new phone, failing utterly

@Gargron At this stage, the fediverse's audience is too small to attract established social networks, especially when, like #tumblr, they don't distribute much real-time news.

The #fediverse will take off thanks to the publishers and curators who see #ActivityPub as an "interactive RSS feed" that liberates them from platforms. WordPress and Flipboard can play a key role in this.
