Hey friends! Greetings from a tiny walk to one of my afternoon-hills.
We even met friends there on the way up 😀
I'm currently thinking about making a short video about a hike in January. The problem is that the photos aren't epic vistas. So I fear the time is just not well invested - especially as I'd have to record extra audio (which I've never done before)

Maybe we should stop relying on developers to do the right thing and have the government tackle it directly.

Santa Clara County cities are failing to hit housing goals - San José Spotlight
Nearly all the cities in Santa Clara County — including San Jose — are moving so slow in meeting state housing goals that hitting the numbers looks like a pipe dream, a data analysis by San José Spotlight shows.

In January, Microsoft disclosed that it had been breached again,
this time by Russian state-sponsored hacking group Midnight Blizzard.
The group was able "to compromise a legacy non-production test tenant account" to gain access to Microsoft's systems for "as long as two months."
All of this culminated in a report from the US Cyber Safety Review Board, which castigated Microsoft for its "inadequate" security culture, its "inaccurate pub…

Microsoft ties executive pay to security following multiple failures and breaches
Microsoft has been criticized for "preventable" failures and poor communication.

I couldn't resist and just give it a try and print the pano-version from our walk I wrote about here:

A Walk to an Unforeseen Beauty in the Backcountry
Explore the serendipitous discovery of picturesque backcountry scenes during a leisurely walk. Unplanned encounters with a charming church, vibrant spring landscapes, and gravel paths revealed unexpected compositions.

Når jeg blir mŸtt av en klem når jeg henter i barnehagen, og når jeg blir kalt "verdens beste pappa" ved leggetid, ÅSSÅ PÅ SAMME DAG, da veier det altså opp for en stor bunke av de dagene som består av masing, sturing og upopulær grensesetting. #pappatut

Hey friends, here's one more from our 1st-may-walk. I really like the perspective. Maybe I'll even print it.
But.. I'd love to see the spot in really great light, like mornings or late in the day.
But the photo is as it is and I hope you enjoy the view with me.

Hi all! Yesterday we did a nice walk around a nearby village. I wanted to practice using foreground. As expected: not too easy!
How low do I have to go, which aperture, are there enough flowers, are they distributed "well" enough.
Is there a midground that contributes positively?
Well. It was a nice opportunity to practice! And this is the result..

Hey friends. I'm just cleaning / archiving parts of my lightroom catalog.
This photo is from a wonderful hike last year. Well - needless to say that I enjoyed the view, right?
Unfortunately none of the shots I took that day was a real stunner. But this view I found worth sharing with you.
By the way, I'm living in the valley next to this one. Yes, I am grateful!

Sorry if you expected some hiking from me today. I chose #cycling . With a bit risk of getting into some light rain. It was quite windy, but hey, that was part of the #fun! I wasn't out for a race, Just being out, getting fresh air, being physically active, working out, .. could it be an better?…
