I have a folder in my computer that's full of photos that are some day meant to be used somewhere. In fact, mostly here, since I rarely use my photos for anything else than posting it to social media. Hive, Instagram, Twitter and lately also Mastodon.
The photos in the folder are loosely categorized. There's couple of folders that are named by the years the photos were taken and then there's of course flower folder and several other things that I often tend to photograph like architecture, birds, reflections and so on. There's also folders that are named by the place I've visited like arboretum or a city.
Basically tough, that's where my photos go to die.
To be forgotten, unfortunately.
Photos of benches, boats, signs, stairs... You name it, I have it and never showed those to anyone.
But I think now is a perfect time to do some grave digging since, although I so much would want to write yet another old film camera photos post, I dare not because it seems that lately I've been a bit more active in the film community than others who also have joined it so now the feed just looks like I'm the only one posting there. I better wait and do something else for a while.
Ergo, let the folder digging begin and instead of letting my photos get buried by virtual dust layers inside my computer, I'm giving the photos a chance to be one of the millions trillions billions photos that already are in the internet. Better hide in plain site than in dusty and dark hard drive corners.

A big boat in Kotka harbor adjacent the maritime museum of Finland. Kotka means also a bird. An eagle. But in this case it's a place. A city in Finland.

It may be that I have posted few photos of my trip to Kotka but can't be bothered to dig my Hive archive. At least these photos I have not posted before. A have a system. You know. A perfect system. And if it's not perfect, then we do not talk about it. My perfect system says that I have not posted these photos before and that's that.

Truly a big boat. At least from this perspective.

We need a smaller boat.

I think I may have used extension rings, one or two, I can't remember.

A fine boat which I saved from drifting away and lifted it out from the water to the pier.

Not that special photo of a bench but look at that bush! It looks like it wants to go somewhere. Somewhere else than where it is.

This is what happens to things forgotten. I think the photos in my hard drive eventually end up being like this couch. Moldy and torn. Not yet tough and as you can see, I'm in the process storing the photos to the internet abyss.

The best camera is the one you have with you.

Trip to London. There's like bunch of things to see and experience and I have tons and tons of photos of... birds. Ducks, swans, pigeons. But I think they are special since the birds clearly are Londoners. They walked like, not like an Egyptian but like a Londoner.

Not the green cube but the birds.

Wintery bench.

Wintery red.

B like barchitecture. If there was a bar then this would be true. But perhaps there's one round the corner. People who know their way around Jyväskylä would know this. If there's no bar around the corner, then this could be fartchitecture. See the one farting with the Nordic walking sticks as the other one turns their head away and trying not to breathe?

This also could be farchitecture as is far far far (not that far so minus one far) away.
Carchitecture if there was a meeting of cars in front of the building on the walk way as there so many times is in cities as the road is not enough for the poor cars and their owners.
The it would also be darnchitecture.
Hmm, let's save some ideas for future posts.

I'VE GOT BALLS! Small balls but they look big so worth shouting for. I believe again I've used extension ring or two.

Balloon! Art! An art balloon!

Farchitecture.

Back to basics and back to Beeeees. A balcony!

This almost was my first photo and hence the tittle photo and I hate it that the other half or lobe or perhaps just few loudly shouting bully cells in my brain forced me to use the tilted huge ship as the first photo but as life is such that those who shout the loudest or are bigger get on top and overcome, this cute and fine and excellent balcony shall remain the last photo and therefore perhaps the good mood giver as you go on with your day. And imagine that there are bees in and on the flowers so that my post is a perfect B post.
Go forth my friend, B like a cute balcony with elegant shadows, don't B a bully big boat in bright light!
