Notre-Dame Cathedral and la Seine river through my lens.

 

So I wandered into the night and you were there in my winter heart and eyes.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend, my friends!

 

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...

Herzlichkeit – ein Leuchten von innen

 

~ Else Pannek

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.

This crisp and clear shot from the interior of the National Museum of Ireland from Lawrence for today. Four striking pieces of artillery tastefully arrayed among classical sculptures in a round room make for a beautiful display!

 

With thanks for everyone's inputs today, it is confirmed that French captured this image across the way at our neighbour's rotunda, in the National Museum of Ireland. Sharon.corbet advises that these cannon were captured at the Battles of Sobraon or Mahrajpore during the Anglo-Sikh Wars. While no longer displayed like this at the NMI Kildare St museum, Sharon tells us that one sits within the NMI Collins Barracks collection, and two others at McKee barracks near Phoenix Park....

So much has changed and so little has changed! This shot of Dame St. in Dublins city centre is still recognisable today despite perhaps 100 years that have elapsed. Mr. French must have obtained access to a building on Palace St. to get such a Point of View. There is much in this image to help date it?

 

And indeed with initial input from [https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley] and [https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia], the date was confirmed to be before 1900 (based on the horse-drawn trams and street lighting). Carol Maddock was then able to refine further, using the notice about the opéra comique named Olivette which was seemingly playing at the Theatre Royal in June 1898. Helping refine the date to the summer of 1898. At 3:40 in the afternoon :)

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.

Fundort: Deutschland - Bielefeld, auf meiner Natursteinmauer - 23.12.2016

On n'est plus très loin du sommet de la roche de Solutré et le village de Solutré luit au soleil en dessous de nous, tandis que l'ombre gagne insensiblement du terrain.

De la gelée blanche est restée intacte depuis le matin et parsème les coteaux au milieu de quelques bancs de brume. Au loin, le Mont-Blanc, de plus en plus visible, resplendit au dessus d'une mer de nuages qui recouvre toute la plaine de la Saône.

 

Et je suis en train de me répéter que j'ai bien fait de sortir, je n'avais jamais vu les lieux comme cela ! Mais le plus beau était encore à venir ...

Light and shadow

 

We are not very far from the top the Roche de Solutré (Solutre's rock) and the village of Solutre shines in the sun below us, as the shadow imperceptibly grows. White frost has remained intact since the morning and sprinkles the hillsides among some patches of mist.

In the distance, the Mont-Blanc, more and more visible, shines over a sea of clouds that covers the whole plain of the Saône River.

 

And I'm repeating myself that I did well to go out because i had never seen this place like this! But the most beautiful was yet to come ...

Manarola. Italy.

Taken during the blue hour.

  

For all Cinque Terre shots, I have to thank to my little sunrays and awesome one.

One for letting me shooting in peace and taking care my dog, and one for guiding me with long exposure and the trip along the way. The way they took good care of me.

Those crisp cloud-funnels looked almost like smoke!

It was pretty stormy here all through September...

Elle était sur la plage,

Caressait de sa main le sable

Le sentir, ressentir.

Pour elle, ces moments n'ont pas de prix.

Toucher les éléments

Sentir l'odeur de l'ocean

Ressentir sur sa peau le soleil

Je la regardais caresser le sable depuis un moment,je me suis approchée et lui ai demandé de prendre ses mains en photos.

  

Je n'avais pas mon trépied, mais un pilier plat sur le petit pont où je me trouvais m'a permis d'essayer mon nouveau filtre ND. J'ai été content du résultat.

 

A noter : un nant est un terme que l'on rencontre en Savoie, cela désigne un ruisseau ou un torrent.

_____________________________

The race of the "nant"

 

I did not took my tripod, but a flat pillar on the bridge where I stood allowed me to try my new ND filter. The result pleased me.

 

To note: a "nant" is a term that we find in Savoy, it means a beck or a torrent.
