~ SEA OF LIFE ~
This is not the end, my friend.
Just as the ocean sings songs to infinity
Our friendship too will flow onward
Until the day one of us
Turns and leaves
And the seasons will turn too
As our shells
As they return back to sand
And the tides that brought us
Forth
Will take us back
Again.
I will never leave you, my friend.
Every time you see a wave rushing to
Meet another,
Two friends unite.
Every time you see a wave crashing,
Two friends depart.
The journey will go on, my friend.
Our memories are recorded
In seashells
To show and tell
The lessons learned
In these heavens and hells
Part of this sea of life -
And when the tide is right,
We shall cross paths again
When the ocean sings our song.

Francesco Melzi d’Eril, count of Lodi and Vice president of the First Italian Republic in the time of Napoleon, decided at the beginning of the 19th century to build a summer residence at Bellagio.
The villa was built between 1808 and 1810;
The park was commissioned to Luigi Canonica and the agronomist Luigi Villoresi, who also laid out the Parco di Monza The axis of the garden extends up the slope from the lake to a high point above the villa.
It is crossed by many winding paths.
Under the trees, along the shore and at the intersections of the paths, are Egyptian sculptures and Roman statues which add to the romantic atmosphere of the garden. According to the taste of the period lots of exotic trees were planted. Fascinating is the Japanese pond with water lilies, surrounded by Japanese maple trees and cedar trees.

Polyommatus icarus (argus bleu)
I shot this nice butterfly in backlight against a uniform cloudy sky, resulting in a white background. So, I decided to merge the butterfly image with a bokeh image, taken with a 300mm lens at full opening to get perfectly round bokeh patterns.

Some shots taken with this absolete lens. Taking conclusion that this lens is better for far away objects and landscape despite I can come really close to the objects. Really difficult to nail it with focusing and exposure and from 100 shots maybe one or two are really great. Above is not great regarding clarity and focus but it have that artsy look (the framing helped a bit) IMMO.
Exif show 50mm but that was my confirm (wrongly) when putting lens on camera.
I'm on holiday for a couple of weeks so I'm not so active till I'm back. Enjoy summer :D

Schloss Linderhof ist eines der weniger bekannten Schlösser von König Ludwigs dem Zweiten. Es ist zudem das Kleinste und gehörte seinem Lieblingsschloss, indem er die auch die meiste Zeit verbrachte. Ausserdem war es das einzige Schloss das noch zu seinen Lebzeiten fertig gestellt wurde.
Schloss Linderhof is one of the lesser known castles of King Ludwig the Second. It is also the smallest and was his favorite castle by spending most of the time. In addition, it was the only castle that was completed during his lifetime.

Mount Ngauruhoe is an active stratovolcano in the Tongariro volcanic complex on the Central Plateau of the North Island of New Zealand. It featured as Mount Doom in The Lord of the Rings movie.
Female Kingfisher (Alcedo attis). At last, after several tries, I managed to see and get some decent shots of a Kingfisher so please forgive me if I do share quite a few as I just love these stunning birds.

Kaiserpalais in the Kurpark of Bad Oeynhausen
Bad Oeynhausen is a nice little town in East Westphalia, famous as a spa centre for more than a century. My favourite place in town is the Kurpark (spa gardens) with beautiful garden architecture and historical buildings of the early days of the spa era. This Saturday we made the best of the cloudy and grey weather.
