*Süntelbuche im Herbst*
Last Wednesday I drove to the northern Eifel to catch a few autumn moods. Fortunately, the over 200 year old dwarf beech tree on a Celtic burial mound near Blankenheim still had a few autumn-colored leaves ... and occasionally the sun came out.
Letzte Mittwoch fuhr ich in die Nordeifel, um ein paar herbstliche Stimmungen einzufangen. Die über 200 Jahre alte Süntelbuche auf einem keltischen Grabhügel bei Blankenheim hatte zum Glück noch ein paar herbstlich gefärbte Blätter...und gelegentlich zeigte sich auch die Sonne.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Tulip / Tulpe (Tulipa)

If you love tulips, have a look at my personal Tulip Collection.
Mother Nature creates perfect teeth with these icicle-covered branches at the shore of Lake Ontario.
You might not expect to come upon a castle while visiting Spokane, but that is exactly what you will do if you visit the Spokane County courthouse. Most of us associate such architecture with romantic old castles in Europe, or perhaps something out of the world of Walt Disney or fairy tales. To find such a building in the center of a modern, growing regional hub city such as Spokane is a bit startling.
The courthouse is said to closely resemble two famous 16th century chateaux in the Loire Valley of France, the Chateau de Chambord, built in 1519 and the Chateau d'Azay Le Rideau built in 1516. Many architects through the years have commented on the masterly replica of a 16th century French Renaissance design, its fine lines of style and proportion with regard to the towers and turrets, the sculpture, iron and brickwork which excel in pattern and craftsmanship. Detailed exterior trim such as shell patterns with wreaths and festoons and decorative arches are a few of the outstanding features of its design. The beautiful center tower, now lighted at night, is a masterpiece of detail in itself.

Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.
Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.
Strolling at the village of old Pedino (Lemnos island) an August morning during last summer, I was excited to see the wonderful transformation of a prior abandoned relic to this lovely art shop.
In case you're interested to see its prior state here's the link www.flickr.com/photos/nikoskotanidis/7823448936/in/datepo...
Location, Old Pedino village, Lemnos island, Hellas.

Another sunset picture taken on the Grand Canal. In Venice, there are many beautiful bridges and steeples.
As you know I've been building up my photography kit over the last few weeks. This week's purchase was a Lee Filter Kit and Big Stopper. This is my first attempt with it; let me know what you think.

My last night in Amsterdam.
I wanted to take all colors, from every corner. I did not reach time. Now, I think I should have stayed all night without sleep. But I was tired and felt very cold. I hope to return to this beautiful city.
In 2006 hatte ich zwei mal die Gelegenheit, in das Tal der Havasupai Indianer zu wandern und diesen großartigen Wasserfall zu sehen und natürlich zu fotografieren. Leider zerstörte eine Flut im Jahr 2008 einen Teil der schönen Kalk-Sinter-Terrassen.
Dieses Bild entstand um die Mittagszeit bei Schleierwolken und starkem Wind. Der erste Hauch von Herbst lag über dem Tal. Ich wartete lange an der einzigen Stelle, an der man wegen der Sträucher und Bäume diesen Blick auf den Wasserfall mit den Terrassen im Vordergrund hatte.
In 2006, I had two times the opportunity to migrate into the valley of the Havasupai Indians and see this magnificent waterfall and take pictures of course . Unfortunately, destroyed a flood in 2008 a part of the beautiful lime sinter terraces .
This picture was taken around noon at clouds and strong winds . The first hint of autumn lay over the valley . I waited a long time at the only place where you had this view of the waterfall with the terraces in the foreground because of the shrubs and trees .
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Found her during a fototrip in Darmstadt Park Rosenhöhe with my fotofriend Dagmar www.flickr.com/photos/137645690@N02/
on a dull day. At a time, the sun came out.... what luck !!
The Rosenhöhe (Rose Heights) is a beautiful garden, which was previously a vineyard in the possession of the royal house. It was transformed into a landscaped garden in the English style at the beginning of the 19th century. The royal architect Georg Moller decorated the park with tea-houses and pavilions.
The mystical park serves also as the cemetery for the Duches of Darmstadt with two impressive mausoleum buildings in its remote parts.

Taken on my iPhone as I walked down the garden after putting our chickens away the other night. I thought how dramatic the newly emerged Amaryllis leaves looked silhouetted through our orange kitchen window blind HSS!
Castilla, una tierra llena de historias y de historia, lugar de grandes enfrentamientos y conquistas, donde hombres libres han forjado sus destinos con gran trabajo y valentía.
Recorriendo bellos parajes,
de una castilla,
quizás olvidada.
Tierra durante siglos castigada,
por la acción humana,
a pesar de sus pesares,
conserva la esencia, el todo, su alma....
Muchas gracias a todos!!
Thanks a lot! :D:D:D
