    Black and white, but very much reality. :wink:

    I'm guessing someone would have preferred a two second warning. 😉

    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I'm oddly fixated on the gap between the window casements. Looks very draughty.

    Nice sunset and cloud formations over the Beacons last night. Oddly the best skies were to the north rather than the west. I had hoped to be able to get some star photos but twilight went on forever and I had to leave before it was fully dark.

    Astronomical twilight lasts all night this time of year. You will have to wait for late July for proper night time.
    This is a useful website for this sort of thing

    The sun setting in the W and rising in the E is a bit of a myth, only setting due west for about 2 days a year. At the moment, it sets to NW(ish) and rises to the NE.
    This is quite useful.

    Looks out onto a courtyard and is in Mexico City. So not much of an issue, even with the very changeable weather! :smiley:

    Ah, fair enough. Thought it didn't look like an English window.

    One for Pross. Spotted on way to bed at 23:14, still twilight.
    Note to self - More depth of field required.

    Had a view like that with a red sky behind and dredgers lit up on the Bristol Channel when I was at Hinkley Point last night but was being driven around the site and couldn't get a photo.

    Fantastic 12 mile walk and hardly saw another person. I bet Pen y Fan was heaving with people lacking imagination.

    Peace and quiet didn't last long when the neighbour's cat took the role of unwanted holiday visitor

    Excellent trolling by the cat 😁

    I think I might be spending too much time in the woods. The two amigos again.

    My pick of the bunch from yesterday.
    Forecast was for clouds so decided not to to take the camera. 🤬 Phone had to do.


    Lovely clarity in the water.

    Must admit to being surprised by that as I've had less satisfactory results even using a polariser. Water must be *really* clean. Lots of rain run off from the previous week.

    But you also got very lucky with the light. I mean, water reflects light so readily especially through a lens.

    Hmmm. Got me thinking. It was taken at 12:26 so pretty much high noon and going by the shadows the sun was to the right and slightly behind me so side lit.
    Something to be aware of in future.

    I was surprised at the time you posted that it was taken on a phone as it looks like you've used a filter. I assumed the water was just very shallow.
