Finding Beauty and History at Ananuri Fortress, Georgia

by @gretelarmfeg

Have you ever been to Georgia? In this beautiful post gretelarmfeg brings us to discover it. “Ananuri Fortress is a historic landmark located in the Ananuri village in Georgia. It is a castle complex that consists of two churches, a watchtower, and defensive walls. The fortress dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries when it served as a residence for the Dukes of Aragvi, a Georgian dynasty.The fortress is situated on the Aragvi River, which makes it an ideal stop for tourists traveling from Tbilisi to the Georgian ski resorts in the Caucasus Mountains” the author told us.

One of the most beautiful places I visited during my travels in India was the famous Red Fort in Agra.

This place is huge and there are so many different interesting compositions to take photos of.

However we didn’t have much time and the sun was starting to go down.

As any photographer will know, when there is no natural light it can be very difficult to take any pictures due to the massive amount of noise you get on your photos.

I was able to take a large amount of photos of this incredible historical landmark.

In my first image I used ChatGPT to replace the sky and color color correction but in all of the other images I used my very own photo editing software! I am so excited to say that the first version is almost finished. There are just a few small bugs to sort out before it is ready to download.
https://img.leopedia.io/DQmeiwfiGDdVm9aXuZ8japA7dizJL9MYx5D1SLNsBrTfNgF/image.png

Creating this software from scratch has been an amazing experience. The goal was to create something that makes life easier for fine art photographers who don’t want to use the bulky programs such as Photoshop.

It has many features included such as a many custom color tools, 32 bit colour, easy folder pinning and an automated sky detection tool coming soon.

Make sure to follow my page to be one of the first to download and try out the demo version!

Cycling in the afternoon

ekavieka — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 05:28:03 GMT

These are the photos that I took sometime ago when I went to my parent's house for my second son's 42 days old ceremony.

it was in the late afternoon, and my son and my nephew were still eager and full of energy to play.

They actually already playing for most of the day in the house yard, yet they still want to play. So I decided to take them to the elementary school. They have bigger yard so that they can play much easier and of course my main goal was to drain thier energy. hahaha

as you can see on their expression, they were so happy to play in a bigger and easier area. They chase each other, while I was siting nicely, and shouting once in awhile to guide them. hahah

here I have a short video when they play.

SHINY JUMPING SPIDER // Discovering the Magical Colors and Hidden Wonders of a Shiny Jumping Spider

riyat — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 18:09:33 GMT

Good night to all my beloved hive friends ♥️

This is a jumping spider from the family Salticidae. I managed to find this unique spider behind my house. Its color looks very striking against the leaves, and that is what caught my attention and made me interested in capturing its details. This spider has a very unique shape, with a square-shaped head, a pair of large main eyes at the front, and several smaller eyes around them, giving it an almost 360-degree field of view, while its abdomen is elongated and oval-shaped.

The most interesting part is its beautiful and aesthetic colors. It has several colors on its body, with a shimmering metallic sheen of emerald green, bronze, and golden tones. We can already see its beauty from a distance, but its details can only truly be seen up close.
Many people ask, what camera do you use? I use an Infinix GT 10 Pro phone camera + a Lensbong lens.

Never underestimate it because of its small size. This spider can jump many times its body length at incredible speed. I lost sight of it several times while trying to photograph it. It is also very good at hiding, there is absolutely no doubt about that.

The most challenging part was photographing it from the front, but take a look at some of the photos above.
Out of curiosity, I tried to count its eyes, and it turned out that this spider has 8 eyes, which is a detail we should not overlook.
The two main eyes are very prominent at the front of its face, round in shape and glossy black in color. Meanwhile, the other six eyes are smaller in size: two are located beside the main eyes, another two are positioned on the sides, and the remaining two are located on top of its head. Eight eyes is quite a large number, so we can conclude that this spider has sharp eyesight.

To get satisfying results, I had to use my secret weapon, which is taking a large number of photos. The logic : out of all the shots I take, there must be a few good ones, and those are the photos I choose to share here.
This spider is very mischievous. It kept moving around and never stayed still, jumping here and there until it finally got caught on a wildflower.

This was my chance to continue capturing its beauty. At that moment, I managed to take 50 photos, but only 12 good ones are shared here. Always prioritizing quality over quantity is the most important thing. I always want my posts to be interesting and high-quality.

Life is a responsibility Be yourself, keep learning and don't hesitate to start😉

And you can also find me on [Ecency Discord](https://discord.com/invite/m9MyMSWx)

Thank you very much for reading my post till the end, I am here to say thank you very much 🙏

All images are mine, I took the photos using the Infinix 10 pro cellphone and I edited the images using the Lightroom application.
I'm @riyat. See you again in my next post

Bread and circuses

goga22 — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 17:43:33 GMT

Good evening dear Friends in the Discovery-it Community 🙌📸

Ever since the days of ancient kingdoms, there has been a well-known saying: "Give the people bread and circuses, and everyone is satisfied." The same holds true today... That’s how I felt at the Pumpkin Festival in Vrbovsko, where there was truly a bit of everything. When you look around, you forget everything that’s troubling you; you simply take in these unique items—the handiwork of someone’s diligent hands.

So, let's go see together!

I took the photos with a Nikon D750, 50mm lens, f/1.8, manual mode, RAW format required, variable ISO and shutter speed. Processing in Photoshop - Camera Raw Filter.

This is all for Today, see you soon!

FOUR PLANTS AND ONLY ONE INSECT TODAY

borjan — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 16:25:33 GMT

The weather wasn't too bad. It was predominantly sunny, with scattered clouds that were subduing the sunlight only from time to time, leaving plenty of well-lit minutes in between. But the warm, humid, southern wind was relatively strong and quite annoying for macrophotography. I saw only a couple of insects crawling or flying around, and managed to photograph only one of them.

Fortunately, some interesting plants were in bloom, so I returned home with enough material for a decent, nature-themed post.
This wide shot shows you a bit of the scenery, and one of those plants is posing with its flowers in the foreground. In the following photograph...

(Enlargeable)

...you can take a better, more up-close look at two of those flowers. The scientific name of this plant, commonly known as the golden samphire, is Limbarda crithmoides. It is a strictly coastal plant that grows in muddy intertidal zones or in the cracks of sea rocks or even high cliffs.

(Enlargeable)

These lovely purple flowers with juicy petals...

(Enlargeable)

...that grow in clusters...

(Enlargeable)

...is commonly known as alfalfa or lucerne. Native to warmer temperate climates, it has long been cultivated as livestock fodder, perhaps since antiquity. However, you can see it also in places where it has spread naturally without human intervention.

(Enlargeable)

The scientific name of the species is Medicago sativa.

(Enlargeable)

The alfalfa/lucerne shown here was growing pretty close to the sea...

(Enlargeable)

...under the shrubs, only about five to ten meters from the coastal rocks.

(Enlargeable)

Here you can take a look at the unpaved coastal road bordered by thorny shrubs and creepers, while in the following photograph...

(Enlargeable)

...you can see a herbaceous plant that grows at the edge of that impenetrable green barrier of intertwined plants, mostly covered with thorns.

Its scientific name is Linaria vulgaris. The common name is the common toadflax.

(Enlargeable)

In this coastal area near the harbor of Liznjan, I found it only in a few places where it grows sheltered from the winds by taller, sturdier vegetation.

(Enlargeable)

Here you can take a better, more up-close look at the Linaria vulgaris flowers. I used the macro lens in this photograph.

Enjoying the Peaceful Life in a Himalayan Village: A Journey into Nature, Simplicity and Mountain Serenity

by @simrannn

“Dhalpur, located in the beautiful town of Kullu in Himachal Pradesh, is a place where the mountains meet the rhythm of everyday life. Unlike the quieter villages hidden deep within the valleys, Dhalpur offers a lively atmosphere filled with people, local markets, traditional architecture and breathtaking Himalayan surroundings. It is one of those places where the charm of the mountains can be experienced alongside the energy of a small town” this is how this new post by simrannn started.

Echoes of Stone and Light - oil on canvas

armandosodano — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 09:24:36 GMT

Echoes of Stone and Light - oil painting

Today I am sharing the process behind my latest surreal landscape painting. The piece builds upon the contrast between golden, majestic rock formations and a dark, brooding sky. Across the horizontal layers and foreground, I used delicate brushstrokes to weave a network of bright, branching veins—evoking both underground roots and electric currents cutting through the soil.
This work focuses on stratification, the scars of the earth, and the light breaking out of darkness. From the initial washes of color to the fine highlight details, each layer played a role in bringing this atmosphere to life.

The creative process of Echoes of Stone and Light unfolds across five main stages, moving from the initial layout of color masses to the final detailing of fine lines.

Compositional Layout and Background Glazes

Volumetric blocks: Mapping out the horizontal structure of the scene and the central mass of the mountain ridge using warm and cool color blocks. Tonal definition: Applying initial color glazes to establish the contrast between the earth (ochres and browns) and the atmosphere (blues and grays).

Sculpting the Rocks and Sky
Pictorial sculpting: Defining the mountain range with direct brushstrokes, emphasizing cracks and areas where golden light strikes the rocky faces. Stormy atmosphere: Blending the sky by layering desaturated grays and purples to create a dramatic cloud cover looming over the landscape.
Foreground Layering
Sedimentary bands: Building the ground beneath through alternating horizontal bands, evoking geological stratification, shadows, and reflective water pools.
Detailing the Luminous Veins
Precision line work: Applying a network of fine white, glowing lines across the terrain using a detail brush.
Visual dynamics:
Introducing forms that simultaneously suggest underground roots and electrical discharges, creating the conceptual and dynamic centerpiece of the work.
Balancing Contrasts and Final Touches
Light accents: Refining peak highlight areas along the rocky ridges and across the bright branches in the foreground. Overall integration: Harmonizing the visual weight of stone with the vibrant lightness of the glowing lines.

What does this atmosphere bring to mind for you? Let me know in the comments.

How one of the most common identity thefts on Hive happens.

discovery-it — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 11:57:39 GMT

Hello Hive people, today we decided to bring you the case of @silviared945, a very well-known author on the platform.

Our suspicions obviously arise from the ease with which the user was able to approach the platform, this shows that it was not the first time she tried to use Hive.

Let's get to us, in these two posts you will notice the first discrepancy. In the first she states that she comes from Florence, while in the second she states that she comes from Rome, this even if it may seem little, for those who observe the Hive every day is already an alarm regarding identity theft.

https://steemit.com/italy/@silviared945/ma-quanto-e-bello-il-videomapping-su-ponte-vecchio-a-firenze

https://hive.blog/hive-146620/@silviared945/il-mio-primo-post

Moving forward the most obvious thing to do was to ask for a verification through the @hivewatchers service, so as to see the possible response of the user.

https://images.hive.blog/DQmbzaz76MRxpniQqqxC55f89EujEaxJV2mQbNHxyys2Tbe/Cattsddsdsdsda.PNG

She responds that social networks are full of hate and that she only participates on Hive.

Obviously I was already aware of the existence of the real profiles of the author Silvia.

https://images.hive.blog/DQmTJxV7djjhq9zSisPVypWCsEqHCYc2L6PtSCnotQmKcCP/Cdddddra.PNG

Of course I asked if she was the one controlling the account on Hive, the answer will arrive soon.

I will not share the name of the profiles, here on the platform out of respect for the author, once I have spoken to she they will be published, as they are public

We take this opportunity to thank you for voting on our witness, and to support the work we do for Hive, both in terms of take care for new users and fighting abuse on the platform.

_{We will tag some of the users who send the most votes to the author Silvia, so we can notify them}

Discovery-it Guides: Tips for writing a great post on Hive using HTML, Markdown and Peakd interface

discovery-it — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 21:40:33 GMT

Hello everybody. Welcome back to Discovery-it!

In the first introductory guide we told you how to carry out Hive registration, how password management takes place, what is the Wallet and other fundamental concepts of our beautiful platform.

Today we are discovering how to write a post on Hive and what are the main codes that can be useful for formatting the text.

Let's start!

First, we need to consider that:

Markdown is the language proposed by Hive.blog and Peakd.com, it is easy to learn, fluent and very intuitive. Unfortunately, however, it also has a disadvantage, namely that it is not complete, as some particular commands are not provided and must be implemented with another language;
HTML is undoubtedly the most famous language for formatting and pagination of documents residing on the Web. It is 100% complete and allows you to perform many customizations of your work. In addition, HTML texts are easily exportable and usable in other Internet realities;
Peakd.com allows us, through its editor, to write posts with great intuitiveness. In fact, it has a very user-friendly interface that even novice users will find easy to use.

The choice of one or the other method is very personal and over time we are sure that you will find the best combination according to your needs!

Structure of a post

A generic post on Hive is composed of:

Title: It is the fundamental part that describes the content of what we are going to talk about or show. Try to avoid too long or too short titles: the former do not catch the attention, the latter are not exhaustive;
Body of the text: It can be divided into subtitles and contain images;
Tags: They must be inserted according to the main contents and allow you to categorize the different posts, allowing other users and curators to find you;

On Peakd you can also insert a brief description of the post.
The post can be posted on your blog or in a specific community.
