Just another place we visited in the Fränkische Schweiz. We just walked along a little stream and suddenly passed through this rock-gate with all the lush green on either side.
Just beautiful.

During our vacation recently, I tried to practice more foreground and composition for .. not for documenting our vacation, but to capture more a feeling that I had at this moment.
This is one of the photos. Here it felt "better" to me to set the focus to the red poppies because at this moment, they just drew more attention as we were walking towards the gate.
More of this day:

If you see em-dashes in my texts, you can be sure that I wrote that part of the text on my computer where I know that ALT+0151 makes an emdash.
Whilst on mobile I just don't find a way to do it ... 🤔
I now have disclosed my em-dash secret
Neulich hat mir jemand gesagt, wir hätten kein #Grundwasser - / Trinkwasserproblem in #Bayern. Daher mal beim @lfu.bayern.de nachgeschaut, um eine Meinung auch mit Fakten zu prüfen:
- kein Niedrigwasser: 55 (28%)
- niedrig: 39 (20%)
- sehr niedrig: 98 (49%)
- neuer Niedrigstwert: 6 (3%)
Bei 28% der Messstellen stimmt das ja immerhin - noch. Ob man das jetzt als "Problem" klassifiziert, bleibt natürlich jedem/r selber überlassen.
The water level at the reservoir to which I'm usually cycling (also in the evening) is now so low that fish have to be rescued from isolated "pockets" of water.
The water level is now 5m below summer-average ... the last time I've seen that was when the level was lowered by intent for some improvements & repair. Now it's "simply" a lack of rain ... We need some rain very soon ...

OH WOW
"Last year China installed more than half of all wind and solar added globally. In May alone, it added enough renewable energy to power Poland, installing solar panels at a rate of roughly 100 every second."
