This Puffin had obviously had a very successful fishing trip. Then it had to run the guantlet of the Gulls trying to take its catch before getting to the safety of its burrow.

After a week of storm and rain the weather calmed down and nature has made a step forward. Else Meadow near Kirchlengern, Ostwestfalen, Germany
A beautiful rather than spectacular dawn at Sawley last Sunday, first time I've been out at dawn/sunrise for a few months, so I enjoyed the solitude and wonderful conditions.
This is a 2 shot landscape pano stitch.
... warmth will come back again :-))

There is hardly a better place in my area to enjoy a perfect Autumn day than the open-air -museum in Detmold. We spent a whole day in beautiful sunshine without a cloud in this lovely location.
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.
Gulls, cranes and golden sunlight - that's Hamburg! ;-)
I replaced the original version with a cropped version, to eliminate the 'cutted' crane, as mentioned by [https://www.flickr.com/photos/lichtflow] ! Vielen Dank Thilo! :)
In the last few years as San Diego was showing us that it is really a desert, I have been adding succulents to my tiny garden. They now fascinate me. Their blooms are not showy, but more importantly a sign of the enduring qualities of nature.
This beautiful maple trees I have seen during a bike ride with my new e-bike through Stuttgart.

I climbed the icy steps of the St. Joseph Lighthouse to get different perspective of the sunset over Lake Michigan. I had to crop the image more than I wanted to because the right and lower margins didn't fare well while the pano was being constructed in Photoshop.
Winter at the so-called "Irreler waterfalls", which are really only a few rapids.

Tropea is one of the symbols represented by the island of Tropea , before completely detached from the city and then reunited dall'insabbiamento .
Built by the Benedictines , with late - medieval style , it underwent ' various modifications , until it is the renaissance of a Latin basilica.
After several earthquakes in 1060 came under the jurisdiction of the Benedictine abbey of Montecassino . Today the church has three small aisles
Uno dei simboli di Tropea è rappresentato dall'isola di Tropea, prima completamente staccata dalla città e poi ricongiunta dall'insabbiamento.
Costruita dai Benedettini, con stile tardo-medievale, subì' varie modifiche, fino a portarla in età rinascimentale a basilica latina.
Dopo vari terremoti nel 1060 entrò sotto la giurisdizione dell'abbazia benedettina di Montecassino. Oggi la chiesetta si presenta a tre piccole navate
Hiking in Switzerland ; Grindelwald , First , above Bachsee . No. 8975.
"It's impossible to imagine the Swiss mountain world as more idyllic than the area surrounding Lake Bachalpsee. The snow-covered peaks of the Alps are reflected in the crystal clear blue water.
First is the starting point for hikes and it offers action: An adrenaline rush and speed thrills are guaranteed on the First Flyer, trottibike scooters or bikes. Children can have fun on the 700-m² playground at the Bort intermediate station."
Trois étapes vous seront nécessaires pour débarquer en toute tranquillité dans cet écrin de nature montagnarde paradisiaque. A 2200 mètres d'altitude, le First offre des panoramas étourdissants, notamment une vue imprenable sur sept 4000 des Alpes bernoises.
En une petite heure de marche à travers pâturages et chemins pédestres bucoliques, vous atteignez le superbe lac Bachalpsee et ses eaux cristallines. De tous les côtés, des points de vue pittoresques. Inoubliable ascension. Pour un peu de culture, passez donc la nuit au Berghotel Faulhorn, le plus ancien hôtel de montagne de Suisse!
Der First ist eine Verflachung des Südwest-Rückens zum Widderfeldgrätli (2'632 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland nördlich oberhalb von Grindelwald. Er ist über eine Gondelbahn oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die obere Bergstation heisst ebenfalls First (2'167 m ü. M.) und steht den Besuchern im Winter und im Sommer mit einem gut ausgebauten Ski- und Wandergebiet zur Verfügung.
Besonders beliebt ist die Wanderung zum Bachalpsee und weiter zum Faulhorn, die ein spektakuläres Panorama mit Blick auf den oberen Grindelwaldgletscher sowie Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bietet. Eine weitere interessante Wanderung führt auf das Schwarzhorn. Östlich von First liegt 5,6 Kilometer zu Fuss entfernt die Grosse Scheidegg.
Der First ist ein Startort für Paraglider und Deltasegler sowie Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Mountainbiketouren. Station First bietet auch einen imposanten kurvenreichen Schlittenweg, welcher bei guten Schneeverhältnissen direkt nach Grindelwald führt.

I've seen this shot a few times, always taken at night with the lights of Downtown Manhattan reflecing in the water. I thought I would try for something different. Best view large.
A knight carries spears used in a joust at this year's Michigan Renaissance Festival, near Holly, Michigan. And he's walking beside a high wooden fence for Fence Friday too. :-)
