Sensor noise on higher gains I’d guess. Normally I take images like this in manual and fiddle around with the settings until I get it right. In this case I had to be quick because the light was changing by the minute so I shot in auto. But I agree with you, I also liked the effect here that’s why I kept it.

The limestone above is not high enough to really filter out whatever the farmer on top throws on their field, so it’s contaminated with pestizides and not recommended for drinking. It smells like fresh water.

As whitewater paddler on the alps you get used to relying on the weather report (and develop a healthy judgement for what’s the kind of rain that will get you in trouble). The kind of rain it takes to make trouble doesn’t come out of the blue :) Still, the cave has rescue spots that are fully equipped with food and thermal blankets and have several meters height as buffer. And still after all of that you are right, it always is a risk

Same tour we did, I also really enjoyed it :)

The cave’s interior is out of a story book, with stalactites, stalacmites and gigantic round dripstones, cathedral like openings, waterfalls and tight spots to dive and press through. Was a real adventure

Austria, near Leutasch

Probably the reason for that new direction; they noticed that quite some people are very emotionally heated against last generation etc and think ‘hey more cars in the city’ could bring them those voters. But most of them are not against doing sth against climate change… They are just part of the lazy majority that says anything as long as it doesn’t affect me and my lifestyle

Yep, seeing as they’re not a ‘everyone has to agree to everything the leadership says’ kind of party, but one that accepts and promotes discourse, I feel absolutely fine voting for them every time and calling it out when they make a bad decision. I don’t think that holding the exterior ministry is helping Germany a lot to meet our climate goals, I do however see that the traffic ministry is failing the goals spectacularly after handing it off to the FDP

Was the chillest dude - sitting under a waterfall in the spray, having a good time. Waited patiently until I had taken 2-3 photos, then went about his day :)

took this image 2 years ago when being there on holiday. We went back last year, to enjoy the absolutely beautiful nature scene in which we found the salamander, only to see it having become a construction site for a new road…

We do this at work (lots of sensitive data that we don’t want Openai to capitalize on) and it works pretty well. Hosted locally, setup by a data security and privacy sensitive admin, who specifically runs the settings to not save any queries even on the server. Bit slower than chatgpt but not by much

Then take down your post pushing religious believes in an atheist community. Read the community guidelines, it has no place here.

Hey OP!

How would you feel if we came over to your religious corner of the internet and started preaching that anyone who believes in higher powers is bonkers and needs escapism to cope with their inability to find meaning in their actual existence?

I case you didn’t get it (which might be because religious mongerers, especially of the missionary type like you, who show up and rub their silly little believes in other people’s face while thinking you’re doing us a favor are typically rather thick) you’re not welcome here.

Thank you :) I was quite smitten with the various lines criss-crossing the image so I thought it is worth posting

Can we agree to just vote the post to oblivion where it belongs?

Yes

To give you some idea of the scale: if you look closely the small gray dots in the middle of the right hand side are humans. The pool with the smooth surface at 12-2 o’clock is in the tip over 2m deep, showing his incredibly clear the water there is. We went swimming in that pool, while the waves with roughly a meter amplitude were crashing in from the left. It is filled with schools of young fish and crabs.

thanks for the compliment, feel free to use it, did the same thing :)
