Been playing around a bit with the Bluesky API and posted a bunch of stats and some word clouds about my account over on @ronaldfw-bsky-api.bsky.social.

Using a combination of colab auto code generation, Gemini, and ChatGPT canvas, this was almost a bit too trivial to do, but fun nonetheless.

Threshold
A spring landscape in northern Germany near the Baltic Sea, photographed in early April. A field of golden-brown dried winter grass stretches across rolling terrain, dotted with fence posts. Along the horizon, a line of bare trees including birch stands dark against the sky. Above, a dramatic sky shows layers of storm clouds in dark blue-grey tones, with bright white clouds creating striking contrast.

Reflection 🌲⛰️🪨
This image shows a reflection in still water at Jasper National Park. The water's surface acts like a mirror, creating a perfect reflection of evergreen trees (likely pine or spruce) and mountains in the background. The foreground is dotted with rocks of varying sizes and colors, from small dark stones to larger reddish-brown and grey boulders, partially submerged in the water. The rocks create interesting patterns both above and below the water's surface. The water is exceptionally clear and calm, allowing for the crisp reflection. The sky reflected in the water appears bright and slightly cloudy. The composition creates an almost abstract quality, where at first glance it might be difficult to determine which part of the image is the reflection and which is foreground.

A new beginning 🌅

Happy New Year to everyone on here! I don’t do New Year’s resolutions, but I do hope for a lot of travels and photography in my life in 2025.

The sky is filled with scattered clouds, reflecting warm orange and purple hues from the rising sun. The wet sand in the foreground mirrors the sky and posts, creating a peaceful and reflective atmosphere.
