Yesterday evening, there were even better conditions to see #Mercury in the evening sky. Again, from the same spot on a bridge over the #Escaut river in Northern France.

To see a short 8 second #timelapse seeing Mercury vanish behind the trees on the horizon:

A calm river reflecting the fading light of dusk after sunset. The water's surface is smooth, mirroring the deepening hues of the evening sky. Above the distant tree line on the riverbank, the bright planet Venus shines prominently, its reflection shimmering on the water. Near the yellowish horizon, just above the trees, the faint glow of Mercury is also visible, adding to the serene and celestial atmosphere of the scene.

This night, it was very clear. A ship approaches on the river, its bright navigation lights shining directly toward the photographer. Despite the glare, the delicate presence of Mercury can still be seen in the sky.

A calm river at dusk after sunset, its still surface reflecting the soft colors of the evening sky. The bright planet Venus shines prominently above, casting a shimmering reflection on the water. Near the yellowish horizon, just above the tree line on the riverbank, the faint glow of Mercury is visible. In the center of the image, a ship approaches on the river, its bright navigation lights shining directly toward the photographer. Despite the glare, the delicate presence of Mercury can still be seen in the sky.

Manchmal
braucht man sie,
diese Stille,
dieses Atemholen der Seele,
wenn die Welt
einen zu erdrücken scheint.
Einfach dasitzen,
nichts hören, nichts sehen
und die Wärme der Sonne
genießen.

Habt einen sonnig schönen, friedvollen Tag, ihr Lieben,
und genießt den herrlichen Sonntag allein oder im Kreise
eurer Lieblingsmenschen!

Eine einzelne Möwe steht oben auf einem Fahnenmast, blauer, wolkenloser Himmel

Good #morning #Biederitz or rather Guten #Morgen!

Here's another photo from yesterday's morning walk.

A serene morning scene at a lake. The sun rises behind a line of trees, casting a soft golden light on the still water. The lake reflects the sky and trees like a mirror. Two white swans glide on the left side of the lake. Dark tree branches with some brown leaves frame the foreground.

The image shows a lighthouse standing on a pier, extending into the Elbe. The sky is filled with dark, dramatic clouds, creating a moody and intense atmosphere. The water appears calm with gentle ripples reflecting the light from the sky. In the background, a row of wind turbines stretches across the horizon, adding a modern touch to the otherwise traditional maritime scene. The image has a high-contrast, but monochrome aesthetic, emphasizing the textures of the clouds, water, and lighthouse structure.

A winding gravel path through a forest, surrounded by tall trees and underbrush. The vegetation shows subtle greenery and there is soft light filtering through the trees.

Seltsame #Stille im blauen Himmel,
bei #Bsky.
Vllt. liegt es an meinen seltsamen Fragen:
Is it true that American farmers and workers voted for #Trump2.0Musk because eggs are too expensive and
#Dump promised to change that???

#Trump2.0Musk will kill you (almost) all!

If you let the two monkeys dance for 4 years!!!
