I'm pretty sure, he will not join the concert. But why?
This photo is not intended in the artistic or aesthetic sense. I also do not want to capitalize on the suffering of others. I'm asking why he can not attend a concert.
Das Photo ist nicht im künstlerischen oder ästhetischen Sinne gedacht. Ich möchte auch kein persönliches Kapital aus dem Leid anderer schlagen. Ich stelle mir die Frage, warum er nicht ein Konzert besuchen kann.

What should I say, my dear friends - I had 5 wonderful sunsets and 5 sunrises on my short trip from Las Vegas to California and back - and each of them was so beautiful and special to me...and I am so thankful that I could watch this all. And I am also very pleased by your great comments - that is a bit as if you would have accompanied me on my trip - many many thanks!!
I took this photo during my second visit of Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes on my way back to Las Vegas...and it was...see by your selves...
- at 5 am...originally alt home I wanted to go there to start with taking pictures of the stars - but that was definitely the wrong time - it was fullmoon :-) so I switched from stars to moon...I walked about a mile to reach the first dunes - nobody there - no footprint at all - pure virgin nature - and because of the full moon I didn't even need my headlamp. It was so beautiful and I tried to avoid making unnecessary footprints...it felt as if I would destroy this beauty and so I took care as much as I could. The dunes here were not high, maybe up to 20 feet but that really didn't matter - the ripples and textures in the light and shadow of the moon just flashed me...and if you zoom in you also can see some stars :-)
Was soll ich sagen, meine lieben Freunde - ich hatte 5 wundervolle Sonnenaufgänge und 5 wundervolle Sonnenuntergänge auf meiner kurzen Tour von Las Vegas nach Kalifornien und zurück - und jeder einzelne davon war wunderschön und ganz einzigartig für mich - und ich bin so dankbar dafür, dass ich das alles sehen konnte. Und ich freue mich umso mehr über Eure tollen Kommentare...das ist ein wenig so, als hättet Ihr mich auf meiner Tour begleitet...ganz herzlichen Dank dafür!
Ich habe dieses Foto während meines zweiten Besuchs von Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes auf meinem Weg zurück nach Las Vegas gemacht ... und es war ... seht selbst ...
- um 5 Uhr in der Früh ... ursprünglich, daheim, wollte ich dorthin, um vor dem Sonnenaufgang die Sterne zu fotografieren - aber das war definitiv die falsche Zeit - es war Vollmond :-) also wechselte ich von Sternen zu Mond ... Ich ging etwa eine Meile, um die ersten Dünen zu erreichen - niemand dort - überhaupt keinen Fußabdruck - reine unberührte Natur - und wegen des Vollmonds brauchte ich nicht einmal meine Stirnlampe. Es war so schön und ich versuchte unnötige Fußspuren zu vermeiden ... es fühlte sich so an, als würde ich diese Schönheit zerstören und so passte ich auf, so gut ich konnte. Die Dünen hier waren nicht hoch, vielleicht bis zu 5-6 Meter, aber das war wirklich egal - die Wellen und Texturen im Licht und Schatten des Mondes hatten mich in ihren Bann gezogen ...und wenn ihr reinzoomt, dann könnt ihr auch noch ein paar Sterne sehen :-)

Life's A Beach..... A Pebble Beach - Bankside, London, UK
Spirit of the north...
It was 2 days trip, last weekend. This is the very beautiful island famous as the site of the Konevsky Monastery. It is located off the southwestern shore of Lake Ladoga.
In the Middle Ages, the island was considered holy by the Finnish tribes who particularly revered a huge boulder in the shape of a horse's skull, weighing more than 750 tons.
This boulder is known as "Steed-Stone" and gives its name to the island.
Absolutely wonderful place with fantastic atmosphere. I fell in love with this place 😍 Also the weather was so warm +28C and it was awesome.
Notice: Ladoga is the largest lake entirely in Europe and the 14th largest freshwater lake by area in the world.
Konevitsa on ortodoksisesta Konevitsan luostarista kuulu saari Laatokan länsirannan tuntumassa Sortanlahden edustalla.
Luostarin perustamisesta kertovien lähteiden mukaan siellä oli karjalaisten pakanallinen uhripaikka Hevoskivi. Saaren nykyinen suomenkielinen nimi johtuvat Hevoskivestä tai ehkä saaren oletetusta alkuperäisestä karjalaisesta nimestä Hevossaari.
Munkkeja asuu saarella noin 20 henkeä.
Saarelle pääsee uudella katamaraanilla Sortanlahdesta (n. 15 minuutin matka).

Dynamic Paris at sunset.
Canon DPP stripped off the exif while merging the hdr files, so I made another HDR fusion and blent with the one you are seeing now.
I couldn't help myself to push the colors button and brought the details of the lights in every corner and at the same time I tried to treat the sky and water in a harmonious way possible.
Hope you like it!
I'm not going to kill everyone's mood with the King of Leon song below, I just find it beautiful.

Whale watching on the Stellwagen Bank out of Boston, very early in the season.
This is the tail of a humpback whale doing a deep dive.
The rain began again. It fell heavily, easily, with no
meaning or intention but the fulfillment of its own nature,
which was to fall and fall.

I took this photo on a snow shoe hike at Sudelfeld, an area that belongs to the Bavarian Alps. The light was just great at this afternoon...there is nothing better than combining two passions - hiking and photography...
Ich habe das Bild während einer Schneeschuhwanderung im Sudelfeld, in den Bayerischen Alpen, geschossen. Das Licht war großartig an diesem Nachmittag...es gibt doch nichts Schöneres als zwei Leidenschaften miteinander zu verbinden - Wandern und Fotografieren...

You will notice the Romanesque vault in transversal cradles and its arches with double roller and 2 colors. It is an almost unique case in Burgundy, only the rural church of Mont Saint-Vincent has a similar architecture.

On remarquera la voute romane en berceaux transversaux, avec des arcs à double rouleau et à 2 couleurs. C'est un cas presque unique en Bourgogne, seule l'église rurale de Mont-Saint-Vincent possède une architecture semblable.

Texel is an island in the province of North Holland in the Netherlands. It is the largest and most populated island of the West Frisian Islands in the Wadden Sea. The island is situated north of Den Helder. The dune landscape on Texel is a unique habitat for wildlife. Notable areas include De Slufter, where the tide comes in and meets the dunes, forming a marshy environment rich in both fauna and flora. Texel is known for its wildlife, particularly in winter, when birds of prey and geese take up residence. About one third of Texel is a protected nature reserve. Nature is at its most unspoilt and raw at the most southerly tip of the island. In particular, the De Hors sandbar shows you how nature goes about its work. New dunes are evolving all the time due to the effects of wind and water. The peace and quiet and the wide open expanses induce an inner calm. The bracing air at De Hors give new energy. This extensive stretch of sand came about as a result of the shifting sandbanks converging with Texel. Nature has free range on this exposed expanse of sand, creating space for the development of new dunes on which marram and rush grass can flourish. The area is also a favourite nesting spot for little terns.
The National Park Dunes of Texel covers roughly the entire dune area, including sandbank The Hors. On the northern edge of The Hors a lot of sand supply. There is wonderful to see how dune formation is done. Man grabs choose not to, given the nature free play. Kanitha exploring the northern edge of the Hors dunes.
Aan de zuidpunt van Texel ligt de Hors. De Hors is een uniek natuurgebied met een enorme strandvlakte. Het is het ruigste stuk van het eiland. Op de Hors kun je prachtig zien hoe jonge duintjes ontstaan. Je mag er vrij tussendoor lopen. Hier zie je hoe duinen ontstaan. Het landschap verandert voortdurend, de natuur krijgt helemaal vrij spel. Op de strandvlakte broeden dwergsterntjes. In de tweede helft van de vorige eeuw zijn op de Hors kunstmatige duinenrijen, stuifdijken, aangelegd die een stuk strand hebben afgesnoerd van de zee. Zo zijn de Horspolders en de Kreeftepolder ontstaan. Het zijn natte gebieden doordat de grondwaterstand hoger werd na de aanleg van de stuifdijken. Er komen bijzondere planten en dieren voor. Bij een grote toevoer van zand ontstaat duinvorming. Op Texel gebeurt dat alleen op de Hors. Langs de stuifdijken, maar ook midden op de vlakte kan biestarwegras groeien. Meestal verdwijnen deze graspollen weer als tijdens storm de zandvlakte onder water staat. Maar als ze het volhouden gaan ze zand vangen en ontstaan er miniduintjes. Die worden hoger en hoger, als er maar aanvoer van zand is. Als de duintjes zo groot zijn dat het zoete regenwater er in vastgehouden blijft, kan er helm gaan groeien. Dat gras vangt veel meer zand en de duinvorming gaat versneld door. Hoger op de Hors zijn veel jonge helmduintjes te vinden. Daartussen komen riet en andere moerasplanten te groeien zodra de grondwaterstand hoog genoeg wordt.
