The Len Lye Centre is a art gallery and museum in New Plymouth. This photo shows a detail of the building with clouds reflected in the mirror-like panels that make up the building's external walls.
I drove past this scene last week and thought the contrasting crop colours would make for an interesting composition. I actually went out to shoot it at sunset on Friday, but the sun was not illuminating the scene as I wanted it. So it was an early rise this morning (5.15 am!!!) to get this with the sun just adding that golden tinge that I wanted.
A long exposure, landscape image of Heather growing on the cliff tops of Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland.
Heading north into Penkridge at Prince Field Bridge, Bridge 85 on the Staffordshire to Worcestershire Canal. A great day for nice reflection shots
Taking a walk along the fortress of Hellevoetsluis. This city once was an important naval base and home port of the Dutch naval fleet in the 17th Century. The city's name literally means the Lock at the Foot of Hell, although it is probably not really the etymological origin.

My latest tessellation design in my Blocks-tessellation serie and I call this one "Little Blocks". You can see the 3 different phases, either follow the yellow or the blue path, starting on the left.
Folded from 15x15cm, kind of rice paper (very, very tin), grid 1:24
Discovered this pattern independently.

Thanks so much all My Flickr Friends The Comments & Faves..... ;-)
New Zealand is very green at the moment with all the new spring grass, in fact everywhere you look it's green, green, green. At least the sky's are mostly blue :))
Even though I had to get up at 4:30 this AM to meet up with some friends from the photo club to go to Lunenburg for sunrise. Sunrise was a bit disappointing but we had a lovely day anyway, and the weather turned out great..a breezy -1 C but sunny... There is a wooden statue covered in a big tarp on the deck of the red shed which I decided to clone out..it was just not very pretty LOL

Something bright and colourful for the shortest day of the year. Taken on a backstreet in Cambridge (when I had gotten lost...).

Dawn arrives at the Valdez marina. I can still smell the ocean/fishing odors and the various sounds of the boats and crews getting ready for another day of world-class fishing. I was very impressed with the beauty and character of Valdez.
An earlier post of this same morning in comments.
Happy Friday!
A sculpture of 15 wild horses has crowned a barren Central Washington hillside for more nearly two decades, but the rusted sheets of steel still are an inspiring sight to travelers along busy I- 90.
The 200-foot line of life-size charging horses, the creation of David Govedare of Chewelah, Wash., captures a mystical spirit from a time when real wild horses roamed the steppes.
Titled "Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies," the scene symbolically re-creates the Great Spirit turning loose a herd of wild horses above the Columbia River's Wanapum Lake.
The vault above the entrance to the Heilig-Geist-Kirche in Landshut. The church was built from 1407 to 1461.

A Johanneskirche Stuttgart ou igreja de SĂŁo JoĂŁo Ă© referida na literatura germânica como o edifĂcio religiosa mais importante do sĂ©culo XIX em Estugarda. A igreja neogĂłtica Ă© a primeira igreja nova na cidade depois da Reforma, sendo que originalmente a sua torre tinha bastante mais altura.
O chamado Lago de Fogo, no centro de Estugarda, remonta ao sĂ©culo XVIII e foi construĂdo originalmente como um reservatĂłrio de água para abastecer a cidade. Atualmente, o lago Ă© muito conhecido pela sua variedade de peixes. Uma vez que a população de peixes no lago de fogo Ă© tĂŁo grande e diversifica, de dois em dois anos, o peixe Ă© totalmente pescado para ser distribuĂdo nos diferentes lagos e parques em volta da cidade.
Uma das principais atrações do lago de fogo Ă© a Igreja Protestante de SĂŁo JoĂŁo, que foi construĂda em estilo neogĂłtico, na segunda metade do sĂ©culo XIX. A igreja está localizada numa penĂnsula do lago, e Ă© atualmente, um dos destinos preferidos de muitos turistas. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, a igreja ficou bastante danificada, sendo totalmente reconstruĂda apĂłs o final da guerra, a torre em ruĂnas, ficaria inacabada. Assim, esta belĂssima igreja do Lago de Fogo Ă© agora utilizada como um memorial contra qualquer tipo de guerra, sendo muitas vezes referida como uma "a igreja sem ponta".
No século XIX, o lago de fogo foi enriquecido com uma outra linda atração, a grande fonte. Trata-se de uma das fontes mais poderosas do seu tempo, que atraiu inúmeros visitantes ao longo de muitos anos e, ainda hoje, fascina aqueles que a visitam. Este é um pequeno exemplo daquilo que podemos encontrar nesta bela cidade.
A historia do Cisne na fotografia, já Ă© mais difĂcil de contar, visto nĂŁo existirem referĂŞncias da sua existĂŞncia em lado nenhum, no entanto, eu atrever-me-ia a dizer que se trata da beleza lá do sĂtio, pois nĂŁo se mostrou nada importunado com a minha aproximação, chegando mesmo a fazer pose e a desfilar para a fotografia, o que me leva a crer, que se trata de um manequim muito experiente e cheio de estilo que encontrou no lago de fogo a sua passerelle e o local ideal para se dar a conhecer.

El famoso puente sobre el Rio Kwai que inspirĂł una pelĂcula basada en la 2ÂŞ Guerra Mundial se encuentra situado en la Provincia de Kanchanaburi, la tercera más grande de Tailandia dentro de la localidad que recibe el mismo nombre.
Este puente se construyĂł con el fin de unir Tailandia y Birmania por el paso fronterizo de las Tres Pagodas para el transporte de mercancĂas y tropas japonesas.
Fue construido por prioneros de guerra ingleses, australianos, asiáticos y neozelandeses. Se construyó con hierro negro de Java, posteriormente se transportó hasta su ubicación actual y vuelto a montar.
Murieron 16.000 prisioneros aliados en su construcciĂłn, obligados por su captores japoneses a trabajar en condiciones infrahumanas, al tren que circulaba por sus vias se le diĂł el nombre de "Tren De La Muerte".
El puente fue finalmente bombardeado por los británicos lo que en parte provocĂł la rendiciĂłn de las tropas japonesas. Hoy dĂa el puente está rehabilitado y es una de las mayores atracciones de la ciudad.
Recently I was out on an early morning photowalk along the Chicago lakefront with a Flickr friend. After shooting the sunrise over Lake Michigan, we turned around to look at the city skyline behind us ... and we were glad we did :)

From the beach at Cala Ostina, with Castelsardo in the distance
Yet again, the light conditions were not great, the sunset was far too hazy and washed out for my liking, I waited for 1/2 hrs and eventually some faint pink hues appeared on the horizon and created the opportunity for this shot; not ideal but that's just my luck!

An old barn on the Palouse, with a modern Wind Farm behind it. Signs of the old and the new forms of farming, one for food the other for energy.
Thanks for taking a look!

The tiny town of Beilstein (or perhaps we ought to call it a village - in 2019 the place had 124 inhabitants), dating back to around 800, with its big Baroque church St. Josef. The church was built as a church for the Carmelites, at around 1700. Later the church was turned over into a parish church. The castle was destroyed by French troops in 1689 and turned to ruins.
And the river Moselle (in German - and Swedish - Mosel) in the foreground.
