Castle 'Rentweinsdorf' or rather: the lovely Maple tree in front of it.
Rentweinsdorf is a Commune in the administrative district "Haßberge".
I have visited the like named Nature Park "Haßberge Hills" whose extensive mixed forest is criss-crossed by numerous footpaths.
Wonderful to hike there in autumn !
The region is unusually rich in historic castles and palaces, of which over 40 survive either as ruins or are still lived in. Several once heavily fortified towns at the edge of the range still have historic centres.

Goldener Herbst in Unterfranken
Schloß 'Rentweinsdorf' oder besser: der wunderschöne alte Ahornbaum davor in seinem schönsten Gewand ;-)
Die gleichnamige Gemeinde Rentweinsdorf liegt im Naturpark "Haßberge", dessen ausgedehnte Mischwälder von zahlreichen Wanderwegen durchzogen sind.
Herrlich, dort im Herbst zu wandern, wenn der Mischwald seine leuchtendsten Farben zeigt.
Ungewöhnlich ist der Reichtum des Landstriches an historischen Burg- und Schlossanlagen, von denen über 40 als Ruinen erhalten blieben oder noch bewohnt werden. Mehrere ehemals stark befestigte Städte am Rand des Gebirges konnten sich ihre historischen Ensembles weitgehend bewahren.
Thank you for your kind visits and your comments :-)

Early morning in Wittlich Valley often very beautiful lighting effects at the time of sunrise, as fog or mist filters the light of the rising sun (may,24, 2012, 5:30 am).
morgens gibt es in der Wittlicher Senke oft besonders schöne Lichtstimmungen um die Zeit des Sonnenaufgangs, weil Nebel oder Dunst das Licht der aufgehenden Sonne filtert (24.05.2012, 5:30 Uhr).
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

A focus stacked, bracketed, long exposure, landscape image of moss growing in a forest in Perthshire, Scotland.
This is my first proper attempt at this style of photography. The moss in the foreground, as you can see, is very small. So this made the focus stack quite tricky. I wish I had taken one extra shot, focusing on the area between the moss at the very foreground and then just behind it. It would have made it a much more seamless image. A good start though that I am happy with.
The Glärnisch is a mountain massif of the Schwyz Alps, overlooking the valley of the Linth in the Swiss canton of Glarus. It consists of several summits of which the highest is 2,915 metres above sea level. The other main summits are the Bächistock (2,914 metres), followed by the Vrenelisgärtli ("Verena's Little Garden" at 2,904 metres) and the Ruchen (2,901 metres). Until 1995, the highest point of the massif was considered to be the Bächistock, as the current main summit was thought to be lower (2,909 m).
The DeKalb County Courthouse is located in the county seat of DeKalb County, Illinois, U.S.A., the city of Sycamore. The Classical Revival structure sits on a square facing Illinois Route 64 as it passes through the city. The current courthouse was constructed in 1905 amid controversy over where the courthouse and thus, ultimately, the county seat would be located.[3] The current building is the third structure to bear the name "DeKalb County Courthouse." DeKalb County's Courthouse still serves as the county's primary judicial center and is a contributing property to the Sycamore Historic District.

... for a happy Sunday !
Japanese Anemones / Herbst-Anemonen (Anemone japonica) and Eastern purple coneflower / Purpur-Sonnenhut (Echinacea purpurea)
in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
What amazing light I saw this evening as we finished up work for the day and off I went to walk about and take in the sights. Couple of Dutch Botters sitting in the harbor caught my eye. One of those images that I can't decide between B&W or Color, happening a bit more lately.
I really wanted to fit the whole tree in the frame with the chairs, but there just wasn't room - I was backed up against a building with my camera on the ground to take this. I covet a good quality wider angle lens.

Summer sundown at Idaho's Benewah Lake. Mt. Plummer in the distance.
In addition to great fishing this is one of the marshes where the highly regarded St. Maries Wild Rice is grown.
The long train trestle in the distance is still used to haul logs between St. Maries and Plummer.
A couple different perspective in comments.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

As soon as I knew I was going to Iceland I started to imagine how I was going to take this shot. I had thought about it lit by a sunrise, or with the setting sun in the background or even at night with the aurora. Unfortunately our itenerary meant that I could only go in the middle of the afternoon. The light was constantly changing and I didnt want to do a long exposure as I didnt want to loose detail in the water, so I ended up bracketting all my shots to make sure I got the best exposure. Its maybe not the best shot Ive seen of Kirkjufell but Im happy with it.
