Different perspective from my previous post—this time focusing on a single karst formation's sculptural presence. Shot on expired stock, which adds those characteristic color shifts and grain that somehow fit these ancient limestone pillars. The film's chemical degradation creates unpredictable results frame-to-frame, making each shot unique. Love how the waterline erosion patterns show clearly here, while background formations fade into atmospheric haze.

Halong Bay

Hạ Long Bay, in Quảng Ninh Province and the Gulf of Tonkin, is known for its limestone pillars and islands rising from the sea, forming one of Vietnam’s most distinctive landscapes. A recent image, but exposed on expired film, which gave the scene its muted palette, warm cast, and slightly dreamlike texture. The karst towers and calm water already have a timeless quality; the old film adds another layer, somewhere between travel record and found memory.

In Beaune, France.

Through the mist
You reach
Before I wake
Into
The past
Resting on
Numb acceptance,
Before fading
As quickly
As the hour
Into the years.

Why are we stopping, Earl?
We're lost.
What? How is that possible?
We should have hit the turn-off way before now.
So turn around.
The thing is, we've got exactly 2 hours to deliver the package. Non-negotiable.
So?
The drop is 2 hours from the turn-off.
Oh. That's. . . a problem.
A big problem. So I'm thinking.
Yeah?
Do you like Mexican food?
Mexican. . . oh. I guess I can live with it.
You won't live long without it, pal.
What about the package?
What, you want her opinion?
Vamos, muchacho.

You didn't say nothin' about a getaway boat, Lou.
Whaddya mean?
What I mean is: can you swim?
Shit! Are there sharks?
Don't worry. Not today.
Sure?
Pretty sure.

Mountain Goats of the City Zoo

nobody@ipernity.com (m̌ ḫ) — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 12:16:29 +0000

m̌ ḫ has posted:

Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) rest and climb here on the rocky “Steinbockfelsen” of Zoo Berlin, a structure that offers them many ledges, caves, and vantage points reminiscent of natural cliff faces. Their permanent horns grow throughout life and, together with specially cushioned hooves, allow them to balance precisely even on narrow outcrops. Family groups usually consist of females with their kids, while the more robust males with the longest horns often stay slightly apart and keep watch over the surroundings.

Visitors can learn more about this mountain goat species and its wild habitat in Central Asia on the zoo’s information page: www.zoo-berlin.de/en/explore-the-zoo/siberian-ibex.

Born in wartime Bratislava, the Jurkovič Heating Plant rose from the banks of the Danube between 1941 and 1944, designed by the legendary Slovak architect Dušan Jurkovič as the beating industrial heart of the Apollo refinery complex.

The same year it opened, Allied bombers scarred its walls — yet it kept supplying heat to the city for decades until silence finally fell over its turbines. Declared a national cultural monument in 2008, it was spared demolition and handed to architect Martin Paško and DF Creative Group, who completed its resurrection in 2021.

Their solution was bold: a sleek glass volume inserted inside the raw concrete shell, so in your photographs the two architectures confront each other across a soaring 22‑metre atrium washed with skylight and reflections. From your viewpoint, glass floors hover like calm water above the warm‑lit halls, black steel bridges stitch together old and new, and 31,736 reclaimed bricks texture the walls — a vertiginous interior landscape where industrial memory and contemporary life quite literally meet in the frame of your lens.

This the new hideout, Jake?
It shore is, Clem. That posse will never find us in these here rocks.
Hope not. They're pretty good trackers, I hear.
Let 'em try. We'll just camp out for the night.
Ok by me.
Say, pardner. I been meanin' to ask: what's that there fancy-lookin' gadget you got hanging off your saddle?
This here? Why it's what's known as a GPS device.
A what?
GPS. Global Positioning System. You see, it allows the low-orbit satellite to always know where I am. Yessir, it's positively foolproof if someone needs to. . . uh, needs to. . . that is, find me.
Did you just say what I think you said, Clem?
Dammit, Jake. I reckon this ain't such a great hideout after all.
You know something, Clem? I miss the 19th century. I surely do.
Amen to that.

A quiet autumn forest scene in northern Slovakia

nobody@ipernity.com (m̌ ḫ) — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:15:50 +0000

m̌ ḫ has posted:

This image captures a classic Orava autumn mood: a mixed Carpathian forest where bright yellow leaves slowly take over the hills, while the dark evergreens stand quietly in the background like old sentinels. It feels like the kind of place where summer has just stepped aside, leaving the mountains wrapped in a softer, more reflective light. It carries that unmistakable northern Slovak atmosphere — calm, natural, and a little rugged — as if the forest is telling the story of the season changing one leaf at a time.

Already Dark

You showed me the sunset
On a day you said
Would never end.
I walked across an
Ocean of snow
Barefoot.
I made it to
The edge.
But it was already dark
Before the sunrise
Before the morning star
Obscured the view
Of days already done
Long ago.
