@Gargron Hmmmm, New on Nature hahaha

@Gargron

Couldn't agree more. Keep sharing your photography work!

@Gargron reminds me of a famous album cover

@Gargron eugen, did you take more photos of those books? They are beautiful.

@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!

@Gargron A great read.

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

@Gargron Good comp

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

@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!

@Gargron Nice.

@Gargron beautiful image

@Gargron Wonder what a Hasselblad would go for.

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

@Gargron you're a great photographer!

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

@Gargron I want it painted black.

@Gargron Looks like out of a fairytale ✨🧚

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

@Gargron That looks like a screenshot from a video game.

@Gargron one of the best bands. They are amazing.

@Gargron #progmetal ? Do you know #porcupinetree ? if not you should. While I have your eye PLEASE carry over hashtags into replies…

@Gargron What os did you replace it with?🦕

@Gargron like a Windows-Computer: Do not touch.

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

@Gargron I know a side quest when I see it!

@Gargron
I believe that is a loaf of bread

@Gargron Chef says hello!

@Gargron Someone needs to get you some Christmas mastodon baubles #christmas #bauble #mastodon

@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.

@Gargron It is beautiful but Flood Plain.

@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!

@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...

@Gargron beautiful!

@Gargron

@Gargron Bergamoticon

@Gargron
The kettle whistle? The slurp? An audible representation of the image?

Or simply silence?

@Gargron Sounds good, Eugen.

@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?

@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.

@Gargron well, we got nothing. Be glad it can be remedied.

@Gargron Hah, try any Swedish train company, especially SJ. In the summer, the tracks get too hot and need maintenance work. In the winter, snow gets in the way. No matter the season, there are significant delays on a regular basis. Sometimes passengers get stranded for hours in the middle of nowhere and have to wait for things to resume. Usually they get fed free food to compensate for the inconvenience, but I bet it’s not fun 😅

@Gargron Europeans moaning about public transport have never travelled by rail in the north of England 😂😭

@Gargron we love Blahaj

@Gargron What the Shark Doin'?

@Gargron

Is this supposed to be up there with those optical illusions—"You have eagle eyes if you can see sharky sharky in 20 seconds" 🤣

@Gargron it will be perfect when Mastodon will have the coffee-making feature. 😁

@Gargron I'm up for it, so long as it isn't another blinking cat. 😜

@Gargron Hui.
