Photographers have found various ways to create memorable images. In this article, I look at the people who ventured beneath the waves, to places where even simple tasks become a challenge. What they ended up producing is special. #photography #photos #history

For #FindsFriday here's a fabulous flint knife found in the tomb of King Semerkhet at Abydos, Egypt Semerkhet was one of the earliest Pharaohs who lived around 2900 BC! 📸 Mine It's now in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge #archaeology #museums #ancientegypt #photooftheday 🏺

This is a watercolour painting of a Dunnock (previously know as hedge sparrows). Small little ground feeders with a beautiful song 🎶 #watercolours #birdart 🪶

His feet reaches escape #Velocity just as He rounds the last Corner in a district Full of birds and a mast Hailing from a schooner Then he arrives sooner Than the letter states #vss365

Mulder and Scully, warmup sketch for fun. Liked it too much not to post.

We seek the proper star course to that elusive happily ever after destiny The mutual attraction of gravity seeking #orbital embrace Like the constellations above straining for release But no matter where we may be in this massive galaxy some day you will be with me #vss365 #poetry #poem

Found this frame for £4 in a charity shop last month, and today I found this embroidered off-cut from a tapestry in a fabric bin for £6 Every day I get closer to turning my home into a wizard’s tower 🔮

A candle flickers as it illuminates a study. In one corner, a man studies a skull, whose large #orbital opening reveals it had once been part of Neanderthal. All of a sudden, he hears a low whisper. #vss365

Got to see the wonderful collection of carved stones at Groam House Museum, Rosemarkie today. A very special place #medievalsky big thanks to curator Aila

The handsome prince rides in so bold from yonder castle I am told on #stellar steed a mane brushed gold and swoops the damsel to his fold til I awake, my bed still cold #vss365 #poetry

I finally finished this drawing 🐥 thank you for all your kind words as I've shared snippets of it coming to life 🪶✍️ created to raise funds for FugleAdvokatene (The Bird Advocates) - Norwegian city bird rescuers based in Oslo & Bergen 🐦‍⬛

We send words where we dare not,  faux fingers into the wireless night, knowingly morphing into ghosts. #vss365 #vsspoetry #knowingly

“You #knowingly let him in?” “He was shivering, so I couldn’t just let him stand there in the snow.” “He’s the Abominable Snowman! Greg, sometimes I wonder why I married you.” “We were both drunk and it looked like the best option—“ “Thank you for your input.” #vss365

Photography has the power to preserve a scene. Matters become more complicated when the scene is located in the ocean, but that didn't daunt Louis Boutan in the 1890s, though. After years of hard work, he finally realized a dream. #photo #photography #history

I feel so weak. I used to #blatantly hate my smile—the nooks & crannies of my teeth. I believed no one could love someone so #crazed, so feral— aching to be known by touch. Somewhere between the red lines I desperately drew, I fell apart & rose again. I found my way back to you. #vss365

Through a looking glass we see The boundaries of a #crazed Computer eliminate All roads leading away from A fiery furnace full of Faces contorted in pain #vss365

There's a lot of suffering in this world, and much of it goes unnoticed, sadly. Over the last couple of years, a war has been raging in Sudan, but countries have been focusing on other events as millions face horrors on a daily basis. I shine a light on some of the facts here. #news #international

My actions #mystified everyone. Had I taken the other road, I could have been sitting on a pile of gold. Now, my only seat is a mound of straw. At least my soul still shines. #vss365

Making every step count with #Pikmin Bloom. 🚶

Bob laughed as he wriggled into new pants. "The best part of a little padding? You're #bouncy," he called to Nora outside the changing room. The extra weight hadn't always been easy to accept, but age taught him there's no sense in treating his body like an enemy. #vss365

Look at this *gorgeous* little Psion Series 3 handheld computer from 1991! Hinges and screen are perfect, but I like to reinforce the hinges with 3M tape, as this is a key point of vulnerability. 😍

I drove back over to southwest Missouri hoping to find the leucistic eagle 🪶 again and pray I could get some clean shots. She never got closer than 250 yards but I had some very good light to help this time 📷 #Birds #RareEagle #NatureLovers #Wildlife #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueSkyPhotographer

#vss365 #poetry #prompt He walked #enchanted through stained glass glimmer and song mistaking fantasy for truth. It was a lie all along.

Godly imperfection. A mono photo taken inside St Paul’s Cathedral in 2024. #B&W #photography #photo #blackandwhite #bwphotography #bnwphotography #monochrome #mono

“Oh, you’re back again.” “You #enchanted my bed!” “You wished for a good night’s rest, didn’t you?” “But the bed grabbed me and kept me hostage until I slept for 8 hours.” “Sounds like it worked then.” “I want a wish refund.” “If I had a penny every time I heard that...” #vss365

#MosaicMonday at the British Museum. Here we have a detail from a larger Marine Life Mosaic. Two sea nymphs riding on tritons accompanied by dolphins. Mid-2nd Century AD, Carthage. #AncientBlueSky🏺

Uncial or majuscule, cursive or #minuscule. The words sound like music to your ears. You learn to distinguish papyrus from parchment, study the texture of vellum, the smooth glide of paper sheets under your fingertips. The art of paleography is an obscure one and yet, you regret nothing. #vss365

The people we love the most often hurt us the most. Frida Kahlo would have agreed with that statement, in my opinion. Judging by some of her last works, there was a lot of other things on her mind as well. Click below to read my free Patreon piece that explores this topic. #art #love #history

A #miniscule drop falling On his head is enough to Shock his system and pull him Out of a pleasant daydream #vss365

Been thinking a lot about Hideki Sato and how some of my earliest memories genuinely feature the Sega Mega Drive and Sonic 2.

Mr. Cat loves his box.

My memory contains a great #lacuna that spans the time of my mental breakdown. People insist I was places I don't remember being. Even the edges of this gap are fuzzy as I'm not sure when it began nor ended. I just remember fear, misery, and extremely helpless solitude. #vss365

Very bright now to the north looking right outside my front door here in North Pole! Great stretch of auroras this past week.

“You have filled a #lacuna in my life.” “And created a new one by putting you on a diet.” “Yes, the hole in my stomach grows while the one in my heart closes.” “Was it a fair trade?” “Ask me again after dinner.” #vss365
