“You can't do clear observation if you ain't in the field.
You can't be a pure observer if you're now in the field.”
~ Toba Beta
It's snowy and gloomy outside. The old photos only make me remember the life in color now:-) Here's one of the macros of the recent summer.
Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends.
The Rococo interior of the Freising Cathedral - some change history below:
The cathedral of Freising was built in Romanesque style from 1159 to 1205. First change to the interior was the replacement of the flat Romanesque wooden ceiling by a Gothic vault ceiling during 1481 to 1483. In a further change during the Baroque period the Gothic vault ribs were removed, the final change was the Rococo decoration created around 1724 by the brothers Cosmas Damian Asam and Egid Quirin Asam.

The famous "fairy tale" castle built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
Taken from the Marienbrücke.
This castle also served as model and inspiration for the "Sleeping Beauty Castles" in several Disneyland resorts as well as the "Excalibur Hotel and Casino" in Las Vegas.

I took this shot within an hour of landing in New York. I seen that it was going to be a glorious sunset and I booked the tickets for the "Top of the Rock" on my phone in the limo to the Hotel. I dropped the bags at the Hotel, printed the tickets and ran. I thought we were going to miss the sunst because of all the security checks, but got in just in time to take this. It was well worth it, as this is almost exactly the scene I was met with, I promise I have not touched the saturation sliders on this, just tweaked the contrast and sharpness a little.
I should also add that I shot this hand held leaning on a wall as they don't allow tripods up there, I would prefer it to be a little sharper, but Im not complaining!
Subway station Marienplatz - sort of a "classic" Munich view...
Before somebody asks: "Where are the people?" - one just has to show a little patience to get a "deserted" view.

Just after sunset.
The Allianz Arena is a football stadium located in Fröttmaning in the north of Munich. Max. seating is 75,000. Due to it's shape it earned the nicknames "Schlauchboot" (inflatable boat) and "Autoreifen" (tyre).

The café Victoria, next to the Botanical gardens in Uppsala - somewhat out of season.
Die Heilig-Blut-Basilika in Brügge ist das älteste Gebäude am architektonisch bedeutendsten Platz von Brügge, der in unmittelbarer Nähe des Marktes gelegenen Burg.
Die Doppelkirche besteht aus der Basiliuskapelle als Unterkirche und einer Oberkirche.
Der Sakralbau ist Aufbewahrungsort einer der bedeutendsten Reliquien Europas – einer Ampulle mit dem Blut Christi.[1] Seit 1923 hat sie den Rang einer Basilica minor.
Die Ampulle mit dem Blut Christi wird In einem silbernen Reliquienschrein (von 1661) aufbewahrt.
Der aus Brügge stammende Graf und Kreuzritter Dietrich von Elsass soll diese Reliquie für tapfere Taten während des Zweiten Kreuzzuges in Jerusalem erhalten haben.
Die Reliquie wird seit 1291 immer zu Christi Himmelfahrt während der Heilig-Blut-Prozession durch die Stadt getragen. Die Heilig-Blut-Prozession wurde 2009 in die Repräsentative Liste des immateriellen Kulturerbes der Menschheit aufgenommen.
The foothills of the mountains in the Southern Lakes are covered in trees. The acid soils and humid conditions encourage ferns and moss, sessile oaks and the most wonderful beech trees, many of which are copper beech. Holly, rowan and hazel grow here too - the perfect environment for wildlife. Bird song everywhere - just magic. Red squirrels also abide here, unseen (by me, quiet as I was), as they are small and quick.
We even had a pair of nuthatches visit our bird feeder. They became used to me, coming out for the special food I put out for them. They were raising families of course, and so their food was rich in protein. Not cheap, but worth it !
Taken from the top of our 'holiday retreat' path one morning. The light was so lovely.
Thank you as always for your kind comments, faves and invites - hope you feel inspired to visit this wonderful place.

Sunset at the Regattastrecke. Short telephoto version, last upload of this sunset.
This means - go out and catch another😁!
The Regattastrecke Oberschleißheim (Oberschleißheim Regatta Course) is an artificial lake that was build for the 1972 Olympic Games as the rowing and canoe sprint venue.
The lake is 2,230 metres long and 140 metres wide. Since 2018 it is under Denkmalschutz (scheduled monument, historic landmark).
It is still used as training facility for local rowing clubs and for related sports events, e.g the World Rowing Cup 1997 and the 2007 World Rowing Championships.

Qu'est-ce qui fait le Charme d'Anglet? Son littoral, unique au Pays basque, avec ses 4,5 km de plages de sable fin.La promenade du littoral angloy longe les 11 plages, pour certaines de renommée internationale.
Mais aussi la belle pinède pour le plus grand bonheur des marcheurs.
La Plage des Cavaliers accueille chaque année d'importantes compétitions internationales du surf. Les vagues de 'shore break' peuvent etre très dangereuses.

Anglet forms part of the Biarritz-Bayonne-Anglet 'conurbation', on the Atlantic Coast in south-west France and running along the Adour River to the north.
The coast and beaches are the principal attraction here, and the beach at Anglet is pretty much the southern end of the very long (200km) stretch of beaches that run in a more or less continuous row from Arcachon to Biarritz.
As with most of the beaches along this part of Atlantic, the five kilometres of beaches in Anglet are typically long and sandy. Behind the beaches the landscape is mostly of open grassy areas and small forested areas, and there is a promenade popular with walkers, cyclists and joggers behind a large part of the beach.
To me, it was a wonderful experience to walk the 4,5 km trail close to the Ocean along Anglet's 11 beaches during high tide...
Anglet is a synonym for surfing. You will find some of France's best surf spots.

From a geological standpoint, Iceland is a very young country, still in the midst of its own creation. Shaped by the forces of nature, the, barren landscapes demonstrate the creativity powers of the four basic elements—earth, air, fire, and water—in a dramatic way. Active volcanoes, bright green valleys, glacier-cut fjords, black sand beaches, and roaring rivers are the most distinctive features of the Icelandic landscape. And although they are very accessible, they still remain virtually untouched by human civilization. In a fast-paced world of sprawling development, Iceland's pure nature and empty expanses stand out as a luxury.
Despite the name, “ice” only covers about 10% of the land, but still represents the largest glaciers left in Europe. It represents a source of pure water and symbolizes the purity of Icelandic
