Sunset at Alqueva - goldenhourphotographysteemCreated with Sketch.

in #goldenhourphotography6 years ago (edited)

The dam Alqueva, situated in Alentejo, a region of Portugal, has created the biggest artificial lake in Europe. Apart from the production of energy, one of the main objectives of the dam was to be a water reserve for one of the driest regions of our country.

With the flood of once dry areas, came this beautifull setting for a sunset view.

Good to see you got approved as "photog" on Discord. It took me a week but finally got approved! Maybe they will clear up those confusing instructions. Nice peaceful sunset by the way. Love me some sunsets!

Thanks! And I honestly still don't understand exactly how it all works, even today I got a bot message saying I advanced to level 3 and don't have a clue what that means :)

L3??? Maybe it is based on interaction within the group? Maybe you scared them with your profile pic! 😜Anyway, I always thought Discord was kind of convoluted to begin with. I just don't have enough time in my day to hang out there and figure it all out. I'd rather be outside with my camera! 😎

Ahahahah scared? Come on... one of the cutest iguanas I've seen! Grumpy face! :) And understand you, Discord is not that intuitive for me either!

Discord has not done anything for me... post promo or upvotes! I don't know why I even bother.

Give it another try... the minnowsupportproject is good and had some good feedback too in the photography group!

You just planted 0.09 tree(s)!

Nice photo. I know this is off topic, but we "talked" on a post by @katysavage
I too am finding joy in using Steemit as my place to document my birding experience. I had used a private blog previously, but it was really an online place to post my notes-to-self as nobody looked at them unless I went to a place like Facebook to link to it, or specifically emailed a link to a friend.
I am feeling like there is the very beginning of a birding community on Steemit. Still, the inertia to make it grow is significant. I am working to develop a coherent and convincing reason why birders should "flock" to Steemit. Among my thoughts are that it is decentralized, and we are not supporting a huge corporation like Microsoft (Blogger), Facebook, or other huge for-profit corporation, but instead supporting each other and the greater Steem community. In addition it gives us a vehicle to send support to steemians around the world. As a not insignificant benefit we get to earn Steem as a viable cryptocurrency ourselves. Once I get this together in my own mind, I'll be ready to make a big push to recruit birders to the platform. I'd love to recruit you and a few others, like @arrax @katysavage and @thomasjmitchell to join the recruiting team. Let me know what you think and send any suggestions as to my "elevator talk" on why to move over to Steemit. Thanks.

I remember... birdbanter, right? I find it hard here to bring anyone to the platform, most of my friends make funny faces when I talk about steemit and cryptos :) But a birding community sounds a good idea, keep me posted on those ideas!
