My stock response when one of my kids asks if I'm around for a call

a man with a mustache is talking on a red telephone and says i 'm always home

Have lost count of the number of times I've watched Almost Famous - mostly the "Untitled" director's cut. Can't think of a better coming of age film

Just now. Feeling alive on my beautiful autumn morning walk in Vigelandsparken, Oslo. Golden leaves, squirrels and sculpture.

Quite a dramatic view of the aurora now from Ely, MN as this substorm continues. Very nice! These high-altitude red emissions could be seen from the central U.S. perhaps with a long exposure.

Yesterday evening in North Essex #stunday #photography

Tall grass in the foreground backlit by the golden light of the nearly setting sun in the background. Blue sky, turning to a warm orange near the horizon

Golden hour light hitting Canary Wharf #BlueskyArtShow theme #glow #photography #EastCoastKin

Photo taken from the top of The Gherkin (30 St Mary Axe) looking east across London, many buildings below plus a red crane in the foreground. On the horizon the high rise buildings of Canary Wharf are caught by the golden light of the nearly setting sun and appear to be glowing. A mainly clear sky with some darkening clouds overhead

You can see a single crocus flower illuminated by the sun. The seed stalks appear through the delicate leaves. The background is black.

Train to Busan - what a film!

Jon Sansom @jonsansom.bsky.social · 20h

That's very kind. I'm certainly finding my creativity inspired by a lot of the very supportive photographers on here

Jon Sansom @jonsansom.bsky.social · 20h

Thanks for the shout out, Robert. Absolutely correct, I have no particular theme or honed skill, just take photos of things that interest me. Sometimes they work better than others 😁

Misty Paris Scape - the roofs of Montparnasse with the opulent Eiffel Tower rising above them in the distance and disappearing into the mist

A vertical black and white photo of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the top which disappears into the early morning misty grey low cloud. At the bottom of the photo are rooftops and the top of the tower rises above from behind them. The grey cloudy scene gives an atmospheric feel to the photo. A lone pigeon flies on the left of the scene

It's #scape day. How about another moody #bnw #infrared image from my favorite beach? I made so many images this morning walking along the shore on this rainy and stormy day. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #clouds #fullspectrum #blackandwhitephotography

A year since this amazing display when much of the northern hemisphere got the second big aurora showing of the year. Gotta love a solar maximum. #scape #landscape #skyscape #astro #photography

Aurora display above rural North West Essex on October 10th 2024. The prominent colour here is red, with a very intense red area in the right third of the frame above the silhouetted horizon and fainter red streaks across the rest of the sky.

A classic Hitchcock rewatch, finishing off an innovative Linklater trilogy and then there's Villeneuve's Incendies. Almost a week on and it's still living with me. One of his best, for sure #LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Am I cool? Well, I got up at 5 AM, spent 10p & rode most of Tashkent’s Soviet-era metro system for 5 hours straight. So yes, I am cool, ACTUALLY!

A black and white photo of the Alisher Navoi metro station in Tashkent featuring grand arched columns, patterned floor tiles and geometric ceiling patterns, creating a symmetrical, cathedral-like underground space of light and stone. Almost empty and still, the station waits for the daily rhythm of city life to begin.

A blue subway car waits at the platform under a ceiling adorned with intricate star-shaped and floral designs outlined in blue, reflecting elegant geometric artistry above urban transit.

Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people
The druids
No one knows who they were
Or what they were doing
But their legacy remains hewn
Into the living rock of Stonehenge - Tufnel / St Hubbins / Smalls
#PalacesAndGardens #mythsandlegends #photography

The imposing circle of sarsen standing stones of Stonehenge, standing on neatly cut green grass, with an overcast sky overhead

Storm Amy brought the drama to Hardraw Force this weekend - it never fails to impress after heavy rain. England’s tallest single-drop waterfall was in full roar - a 100-foot cascade thundering into Hardraw Beck below.
