Thought you might enjoy this panoramic view of last night’s sunset in London @panophotos.bsky.social from the Shard to the city and the beautiful Tower Hamlets and Southwark riversides.

We have a bunch of fox cubs near the street in Rotherhithe (London) currently. I never see an adult in this spot though.

It’s time to resolve the issues of access to the English countryside once and for all. That must mean legislating for a widespread right to roam covering land and water, which removes access islands, allows responsible wild camping in national parks and increases connectivity to nature for everyone👇🏻

My first time in Athens, and I was lucky enough to find the stunning Monument Hotel, and a room with a private terrace and hot tub with Acropolis views. Beautiful. #travel #Greece #travelphotography www.europeisourplayground.com/monument-hot...

I recently spent a beautiful day in awe of the tulips at Keukenhof in the Netherlands. Such stunning colours everywhere.

Chioggia is a perfect alternative to Venice (or a day trip!), rich in culture, history, and authentic Italian charm. 🚤✨

The new TGV trains look incredible! It’s great to see bit of fun design in public transport — and with the Bauhaus primaries no less.

There was one: Facade.

Nick Nomi @nicknomi.bsky.social · Mar 11

Ai in games always makes me think of the brilliantly bizarre Facade, which is still, after 20 years one of few good, visible uses of AI in video games.

I like it as an optional flick selection. Good for when you take long breaks.

I prefer Utrecht. So much more laidback and still extremely pretty.

The East London skyline, snapped from my building’s roof.

A vast panorama of the east London skyline with the shard, its top lit in blue on the left, sweeping across to the gherkin and others in the city. Taken at sunset, the image is awash with purples and oranges, and red lights from the tops of various skyscrapers.
