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.

Helmcken Falls in British Columbia, Canada, for #waterfallwednesday

From this morning‘s walk with my favorite 🐶.

Lone pine at Olmsted Point. Probably one of Yosemite National Park's most dramatic viewpoints along Tioga Road. The little bump in the distance is Half Dome. I always used to stop here on my way to Mono Lake and the Eastern Sierra.

St. Teresa of Avila Church in Bodega, California

When we lived in California, the Christmas holidays was usually the time for roadtrips. It’s a great time to visit the deserts in California and Nevada like Death Valley (certainly avoid going there in summer!). A hidden gem is Valley of Fire near Las Vegas, where this photo was taken.

White Christmas doesn’t seem to be happening in Munich this year — looks like the Alps are keeping most of the snow for themselves for now. Wishing everyone peaceful holidays and a chance to get some much deserved rest!

Denmark also has beautiful lighthouses. This is in Blåvand, Denmark, very close to Denmark‘s westernmost point.

Bridalveil Falls in Yosemite National Park, captured from Tunnel View.

I like photographing grandiose landscapes but I also love finding and capturing intricate and beautiful details in the small things around us.

Blue waters at Sylvenstein Lake, yesterday afternoon

Sunset in the Alps today. Yeah, pretty stoked this is just about an hour drive from where I live.
