Swede’s Photographs

Good morning. 🌴🌊☁️

11 April 2025

There is a small bathroom just outside my office. When I went in this morning to check the mirror, the door began to close on its own. It stopped before fully shutting, sparing me from being trapped in the room with some mysterious and sinister entity. In reality, I suspect the explanation lies in a doorway that is slightly askew. Scenes like this are often featured in scary movies, where the human occupant trapped in the room is typically a young woman. Yet, I can't help but wonder—when I turned away from the mirror, did my reflection move with me, or did it remain frozen, silently watching as I pondered the door?

"This image showcases a tranquil beach scene beneath a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a cluster of palm trees stands tall, with one leaning slightly to the left, adding character to the landscape. Another tree is partially visible, its weathered or broken trunk creating a striking contrast against the lush, vibrant greenery of the other palms. Beyond the trees, tall grasses sway gently, leading to a view of a calm ocean in the distance. A faint line of clouds graces the horizon, enhancing the depth and serenity of the scene." - Copilot

Despite their towering height and tree-like appearance, palm trees are actually more closely related to grasses, lilies, and bamboo than to traditional trees. They belong to the monocot group of plants, which means they have no rings, no true bark, and no real branches. Instead, their trunks are more like giant, reinforced stems.

Thanks for sharing, David Z.! 🤘

A boat at the beach of Imbassaí (Bahia, Brazil) during sunset.
Imbassaí is wonderful small village directly by the Atlantic Ocean approximately 80 km north of Salvador. The former indigenous village has become a touristic center in the region, due to its amazing location and beauty. It’s directly located where a river with the same name (Imbassaí) flows into the ocean. The river separates the beaches, which are located on an offshore island, from the land. That means if you’re on the beach island you can choose between the wild saltwater of the Atlantic Ocean or the calm sweet water of the Imbassaí river.

A sunset at a beach, with the sun setting on the land side. Up-front the beach with an empty boat are visible, then a river which separates the beach from the land. On land palm trees and a hut are backlighted by the setting sun on the horizon. On the upper part of the photo the blue sky and some clouds are seen.
