A hero stands in the river and waits patiently.

We see a greenish river in which a hero stands calmly, waiting to hunt something; the water flows around him; the branches of trees look into the picture from the left; the hero stands in the middle of the photo. ©Aw

A seagull stands on a metal railing stretching out before the expansive sea and a lightly clouded sky in the colors of morning. Its head is stretched high, its beak wide open, and it cries a typical seagull call. ©Aw

A protest symposium, organized by @joehwien.bsky.social, against historical amnesia and Nazi veneration. Behind it in the building, the FPÖ is celebrating with the President of the National Council, Walter Rosenkranz (FPÖ), the anti-Semite and Nazi Franz Dinghofer in the Austrian Parliament #antifa

This flower enjoys the sun's rays in the cool water; a small fly sits on it and enjoys it with her.

A swallow dives for a drink.
It was very hot that day in Sofia, Bulgaria; I would have loved to jump into the water too.

A cormorant sits alone in the river in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria.
#birds 🪶 #cormorant #bulgaria #photography #sony
A cormorant sits alone on a rock in the river. The image captures much of the river: the water, the green aquatic plants, and the shadows cast by the trees that are not visible in the picture. The bird sits in the center of the photo and also casts a shadow in the river. This was taken in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria. ©Aw

Orange Jelly Fungus (Dacrymyces chrysospermus) on dead wood. The orange color of the fungus is fascinating.

Stork with small storks in the nest in summer in Bulgaria. The photo looks very funny, but the stork greets its approaching mate by throwing back its head and loudly clattering its beak.

"The #Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."

View from the ascent of a mountain. On the left of the photo, we see a narrow gray rock face stretching up the photo. In front of it stands a conifer, and further down on the right, another tree. Our perspective is directed beyond it, toward the forest landscape that stretches between the two trees. In the middle, a traffic-free road winds through the forest toward the horizon, but disappears into the forest before it can disappear over the horizon. The sun partially illuminates this landscape, and there are scattered clouds in the sky. ©Aw

A so-called earthstar mushroom photographed from above. The mushroom is brownish and spherical in the center, with a star-like outer ring, which in this case is already somewhat nibbled. The mushroom grows from lush green moss on the forest floor. ©Aw
