The eyes of the world are on Brazil right now.

Evening on the Chapel Bridge. Geraniums on the rail, the Jesuit church doubling itself in the Reuss, and low light coming in sideways through 700 years of timber. #Lucerne #Switzerland #StreetPhotography

Lucerne from the Musegg wall. Old town roofs below, lake behind, Alps stacked up on the horizon. Then the wall walk itself: battlements, long shadows, and the view opening a little further with every step. #Lucerne #Switzerland #TravelPhotography

After the eclipse: the Napf highlands going violet, ridge behind ridge into the haze, the lights of the Ahornalp inn holding on. Nobody was in any hurry down the mountain that evening. #Ahornalp #Switzerland #BlueHour

Why we were up there: 12 August, the moon taking a 90% bite out of the sun as it set over the Napf highlands. I proposed about two minutes after that first frame. Half the ridge stayed until dark, and so did we. #SolarEclipse2026 #Switzerland #Ahornalp

The hour a village stops being buildings and becomes lights. Church lit on the ridge, cut field going cold in the foreground, sky still holding on to the last of the blue. #BlueHour #Switzerland #LandscapePhotography

Zofingen with your eyes up: a turret in its red pointed cap, half hidden behind a garden, and the old church tower still keeping time over the rooftops. #Zofingen #Switzerland #ArchitecturePhotography

Zofingen keeps its old town under cover. Wooden arcades running the length of the lane, cobbles worn smooth underneath. Shade you can walk through on a hot August day. #Switzerland #ArchitecturePhotography #Fujifilm

She said yes! The anniversary of our first kiss, and 90% of the sun gone behind the moon on the very same evening. As if the universe had picked the moment for us. Ahornalp, 12 August 2026. #Engaged #SolarEclipse2026 #Switzerland

This guy takes our money and destroys our democracies while we are being told to blame it on the poor and immigrants. And he is not the only one, just one of the most despicable. https://youtu.be/TP7Z_Eqxhxk

Apparently today was someone's main character day.

A hummingbird hawk-moth on red maple. Macroglossum stellatarum — eighty wingbeats a second, drinking mid-air through a proboscis longer than its body. Many fly up from the Mediterranean to reach a balcony like this. Then it folds itself small and grey. #HawkMoth #Macroglossum #BalconyLife

Paper wasps on the balcony. Polistes — dangling legs, a paper comb no bigger than a coin. One queen, a few sisters, one summer. And they work: a colony hauls off hundreds of caterpillars and aphids to feed its brood. They came for those, not for me. #PaperWasp #Polistes #BalconyLife

Faces you never quite see: a full-face coming straight at the lens, goggles and grit on a scrambler, tweed against the tank, a red-and-white classic past the village church. All motion, no names. #Motorcycle #Scrambler #Switzerland

The old guard, standing still for once. A prewar BMW boxer, a Norton on gold forks, a Honda polished to a mirror, and one bike keeping company with an E-Type. Good taste travels in pairs. #Vintage #CafeRacer #Motorcycle

Notes from the sertão — a colonial church holding the square, a road running straight through green hills, a village tucked under the mesa. Different scale of sky. #Brazil #Travel #Sertao

From above: the whole field parked in formation outside the Verkehrshaus, that wall of motorway signs presiding over row after row of machines. Some mornings only fit in one frame from the air. #Luzern #DGR2026 #AerialPhotography

A colour run of its own: Royal Enfield teal front and back, a pint-sized green-and-orange oddball, a burnt-orange bagger stretched low. Some builds whisper. These ones shout, politely. #RoyalEnfield #Scrambler #Motorcycle

Not everything on the ride had two wheels. A Morgan three-wheeler idling by the meadow, all aluminium and audacity, looking like it escaped from 1935. Nobody objected. #Morgan #ThreeWheeler #Vintage

Window seat. Cumulus towers at cruise altitude, then a city unreeling below like a printed circuit. The privilege of looking down on weather. #Travel #Aviation #Photography

The trick with panning: hold the bike sharp, let the world smear. A Bonneville in a tailored suit, a Norton past the concert hall, a lone rider leaning into an empty corner. #PanningPhotography #CafeRacer #Motorcycle

The particular melancholy of airports at sunrise. Rain on the glass, everyone on their phone, the plane somehow still looking alive. #Travel #AirportLife #Photography

Then the road tips downhill and you see it: the whole column threading through the hills, headlight after headlight, one long chrome river past the 60 sign. Hundreds of bikes, one direction. #DGR2026 #Motorcycle #Switzerland

The Kapellbrücke in fog — Lucerne choosing a quieter version of itself. The lake pretends to be elsewhere. #Luzern #Switzerland #Fog

Four tanks, four kinds of patina. A Honda badge worn smooth, a Triumph's chrome doubling the sky, a saddlebag stitched with every ride it's survived, goggles resting on candy-apple red. #Motorcycle #Triumph #Details

Full-speed forest joy. The stick is secondary, the running is the thing. One herding dog, unlimited engine. #DogsOfBluesky #Dogs #NaturePhotography

The other 80% of walks: sitting at twilight, meeting a dandelion nose-first, surveying the spruce stand, being absurdly close to the lens. #DogsOfBluesky #Dogs #NaturePhotography

The one detail that sets the tone before the engines even start: a sunburst helmet, goggles folded over the bars, waiting. The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is half machine, half dress code. #DGR2026 #CafeRacer #Movember

Days when the sky works harder than the ground — anvil clouds over the fields, the sun punching a hole through the cumulus. #Switzerland #Clouds #Landscape

Blue hour, when everything goes a little cooler and stricter. Corn rows, hedgerows, the last drivers going home. #BlueHour #Landscape #NaturePhotography

Swiss evenings: a village in the bowl of a valley, the sun rolling off the west ridge, barns turning orange. Same road, different weeks. #Switzerland #GoldenHour #Landscape

The ten-minute window when the sky goes pink and lavender at once. You always try to photograph it. It's always bigger than the frame. #GoldenHour #Landscape #Switzerland

Mornings when the valley fills and you're walking above the weather. Grass still wet, sun finally over the ridge, the church tower just visible through the haze. #Fog #Landscape #Switzerland

A red-belted polypore wearing its first snow hat. A colony of pearled puffballs somewhere quieter. The fungi don't mind the transition. #Mycology #Fungi #Nature

Autumn's short mushroom chapter. Fly agaric doing its storybook best, shaggy ink caps already inking, sulphur tufts and dark brittlestems crowding the stumps. #Fungi #Mycology #NaturePhotography

November beech — brown, freckled, holding on. A path further in where the mist takes over. The season's quiet exhale. #Autumn #ForestBathing #Photography

Barley backlit, barley up close — the bearded ones. Then the corn: shoulder-high, the field running into the sunset. That specific August light only grain fields seem to hold. #Summer #Landscape #NaturePhotography

A bumblebee full of bugle flowers. A Roman snail trusting the middle of the gravel path. Different strategies, same afternoon. #Nature #Wildlife #Macro

The ones that stand on their own — a single poppy in the grain, a daisy against granite, a clover pearled with dew, one stem of meadow grass. Small stubborn things. #Wildflowers #Macro #NaturePhotography

Find the dog. She's out there somewhere, convinced the meadow belongs to her. #DogsOfBluesky #Switzerland #Landscape

1/ Gestern hat die israelische Knesset mit 93:0 Stimmen ein Gesetz verabschiedet, das die Anwendung der Todesstrafe für Personen erlaubt, die wegen Beteiligung an den Angriffen vom 7. Oktober verurteilt werden. 🧵

Swiss confession: we actually have this recipe. It's called Älplermagronen — pasta, potatoes, cheese, with applesauce on the side. I'm ashamed on behalf of my people. #Duolingo #LanguageLearning #LearnPortuguese

Plot twist: it was a Subway. Ireland's Supreme Court literally ruled their bread has too much sugar to legally qualify as bread. Duolingo knew. #Duolingo #LanguageLearning #LearnPortuguese

Two desserts, no sugar? Bro, just ask for protein-powder desserts and commit to the gymbro lifestyle. Duolingo needs a fitness DLC. #Duolingo #LanguageLearning #LearnPortuguese

Three bikes through the same village corner on a spring afternoon. A Speed Twin leaning into the light, a chopper stretched long and low, a Bobber rolling quiet over cobblestones. Panning photography is mostly waiting, then one still second. #Motorcycle #Triumph #PanningPhotography
