I’ve been on hols recently: #Cornwall Such a great place. The coastal walks are amazing. The food, the beer, the friendly people, the wildlife, the landscapes, the geology #scape #photography This place is popular with rock climbers. Commando Ridge, near Zennor and St Just.

#Stunday #landscape #scape #Photography #Cornwall Cornish cows and a standing stone

A green field with cows, some standing, some lying down, various colours. To the centre left is a pointy standing stone in the middle of the field. This is matched bottom right by a large stone gate post to which is attached a rusty farm gate. A stone wall continues left from the gate post with foxgloves growing above it. Blue sky beyond.

#BirdofTheDay #theme #Orange #photography #ECK I’m late to the party today. Been out having a fabulous day in Cornwall. Walking the coastal path near the Lizard today my wife spotted this kestrel. It has some orange in its colouring so I think it qualifies.

The kestrel flew to a different vantage point. It turned its head 180° to keep an eye on us. Standing on grass with wild flowers around

#BirdofTheDay #cutie #WaitingGame #ECK #photography #twofer On coastal walk and heard this little fella singing. Took ages to see him then camera had to be manually focused. Worth the wait. A chiffchaff.

Stonechat facing right perched in a branch

A sparrow landing feet outstretched, onto a fence post

Two oyster catchers flying low over water. The surface of the water is calm with blue, white and black details

Rock pipit on a rock facing left. Seems odd that it can balance with so much of its body in front of its legs

Music generated by Ai unfortunately

Screenshot of text saying: “Yes, the music and visuals posted by draugr.balled (often associated with search terms like "draugr ball" or
"draugr ballad") are predominantly Al-generated.
• YouTube +4
How the Content is Created
• Music Production: The songs are typically created using Al music tools (like Suno) to generate the vocals, beats, and melodies.
• Visuals: The accompanying videos—which usually feature hyper-realistic, heavily-tattooed "Viking" characters in modern recording studios or grim battlefields—are also made using artificial intelligence.
• The "Artists": The people portrayed in the videos singing these songs do not actually exist; they are fully Al-generated personas. F Facebook • Ai Musi... +4
The Al Viking Music Trend
The draugr.balled account is part of a much larger, viral internet trend across TikTok and YouTube where creators use Al tools to mass-produce Viking, Norse, and antiquity-inspired fantasy tracks.
Because Al music generation is a rapidly advancing field, distinguishing it from legitimate human artists can sometimes be difficult for casual listeners.”

Glastonbury prog on BBC is good 👍🏻 #music

Dave Grohl on stage singing, text below: “Foo Fighters made this appearance in 2023 listed on the line-up under a pseudonum - 'The ChurnUps'. Despite the alias, their true identity became one of the worst-kept secrets of the festival, after frontman Dave Grohl dropped hints online!”

#BBC #DeadRingers The cynicism and character assassination has started early 🙄 Yes, but is it funny? No.

Definition of cynicism from screenshot: “Cynicism is an attitude defined by a deep distrust of others' motives, often leading to the belief that human behavior is driven purely by self-interest and greed. It typically manifests as a pessimistic, skeptical, or disillusioned outlook regarding the sincerity of people or institutions.”

Definition of character assassination from screenshot: “Character assassination is the deliberate and sustained effort to damage a person's reputation,
Character assassination is at once easier and sure than physical assault; and it involves far less risk fo the assassin. It leaves him free to commit the sam deed over and over again, and may, indeed, win hir the honors of a hero in the country of his victim
credibility, or character. It relies on tactics like spreading rumors,
manipulating facts, and sharing misinformation to make others view the target with contempt or suspicion.”

Pheasant on grassland facing to the right. Quite scabby looking in places. Looks like it has been in a fight or escaped predation, with feathers missing and skin exposed on the back of its neck

Hi Ian, I’m a photographer. I’m drawn to David Bailey style mono “tonal contrast” editing - it’s all a matter of aesthetics and personal taste. I agree your photographer has caught you well, but I’d like to suggest the image is even better in black and white - it also declutters the background.
