Königssee
by Martin Schmidt (www.schmaidt.de)
Die Automatik des Passats ist auf D eingeloggt, Google Maps sagt uns, wie es zurück nach Nürnberg geht und unsere Blicke haben nur ein Ziel: die Rückspiegel. Auftrag: die letzte Sicht auf die Berge, die letzten Gipfel mitnehmen. Es braucht nicht lange bis so ein paar Bäume auf Steinbrocken an See einem so richtig Appetit gemacht haben. Mich haben Sie auf jeden Fall infiziert. Ich hätte saumäßig Bock direkt wieder umzudrehen, mich mit Wanderschuhen, meinen beiden Damen, Kamera, Stativ und Filtern zu bewaffnen und wieder irgendwo hochzugehen oder irgendwo einen See zu finden, in den ich stundenlang Stöcke werfe, die mit Begeisterung wiedergeholt werden, während die Kamera belichtet.
Die Zeit in den Berchtesgardener und Chiemgauer Alpen war sehr schön - man muss schon fast "kitschig" sagen. Die Beweise folgen. Hoffentlich sind sie nicht nur für uns, die wir die Szenen vor Ort gesehen und durch Anstiege erkämpft haben, eindrucksvoll.
Den Alpenstart macht der Königssee bei Schönau - direkt umgeben vom König Watzmann. Von Letzterem wird dann später noch mehr zu lesen und sehen sein.

Taking a water taxi around Venice as the sun is setting is a joy! Let the captain of the boat chose the route. Then just sit back and enjoy all of Venice in as little as one and half hours.
Sorry about all of the typos lately! I'm uploading photos a different way and it seems to misplace letters!
The last morning of the cold days early 2017. The oak tree still standing and illuminated and the weather was beautiful. The art is a cloud texture which fits for my purposes quite well.

Edifício 41 a.k.a Torre de Picoas is a 67m high-rise building located in the centre of Lisbon. Designed by Patrícia Barbas, Picoas Tower was built in 2018.
A long exposure shot taken at the Belem tower in Lisbon as the sun rose, and before the tourists arrived. It reminds me what a wonderful spot Lisbon is. Must get back there pronto.
The New York Court of Appeals Building, officially referred to as Court of Appeals Hall, is located at the corner of Eagle and Pine streets in central Albany, New York, United States. It is a stone Greek Revival building designed in the mid-19th century by Henry Rector. In 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, one of six buildings housing a state's highest court currently so recognized.[note 1] Seven years later it was included as a contributing property when the Lafayette Park Historic District was listed on the Register.
At the time it was built it was known simply as the State Hall

Il ponte della Priula sul fiume PIAVE
Geografia .
Ponte della Priula si estende all'estremità sud-ovest del comune di Susegana, in un'area pianeggiante sulla riva sinistra del Piave.
Storia
Sin dall'epoca romana questa zona ha rappresentato un punto nevralgico nei collegamenti stradali. Si ritiene che il ponte della Priula abbia quindi origini antichissime e vide il passaggio di numerosi eserciti invasori. Un tempo costruito in legno, fu distrutto e ricostruito più volte e venne bruciato dai Francesi nel 1807. Solo ai primi del Novecento fu rifatto in pietra e cemento. Gli ultimi gravi danneggiamenti risalgono alla Grande Guerra.
L'appellativo "della Priula" si riferisce ai patrizi veneziani Priuli che possedevano una Villa poco lontano

Encounter with a desert-adapted Black Rhino in the Damaraland, Namibia, on a walk.
This was a desired encounter. We were with 3 guides taking good care of us.
As the huge animal came too close, they chased it away with loud shouts.

In Friesland is skûtsjesilen (sailing with 14 historical flat bottom boats) one of the Top Event for Dutch tourism. Skûtsjesilen is a synonym for sailing competitions with old freight ships. These flat bottom boats were built at the beginning of the last century for the transportation of peat, manure and other loads to the farms. For this purpose the ships had to sail in shallow waters. That’s why these ships had to be built long and flat. Speed and manoeuvrability is characteristic of a skûtsje and therefore is this type of ship especially suitable for sailing competitions. To anticipate on supply and demand quickly and adapt to changing weather conditions was a daily struggle in those days. In difficult times the skippers mostly sailed on the initiation of the local innkeeper to make some extra money. Then, family and furniture were removed from the skûtsje and left on the shore.
N.B.
All races of all 14 skûtsjes can be directly followed Worldwide on the live stream “You Tube” and the app “Track&Trace”.
This is a shot of me on hospital reef taken by Flickr friend and photographer David Frey. He was kind enough to send me this photo that he had taken of me sprawled out on the reef in the most stable configuration I could come up with. I wish he had told me my hat looked like the top of a spent condom. I'm never going to wear that hat again. LOL :)
Recently I had the pleasure of meeting David, and was lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend a whole day shooting with him. I didn't bother him with a barrage of questions while we were shooting like I wanted to, I just watched him with a keen eye and absorbed whatever he did that was different than what I do, and of course what follows is some curious self analysis. :) You can learn a lot just from being around another photographer especially one as gifted as David.
In an effort to get out of the social shell in which I have been trapped, as a result of working 20 years on the graveyard shift. I have started making a conscience effort to interact on a more personal level with other Flickr friends and it has been a rewarding experience both socially and spiritually. I have a better outlook on the world and in people in general and have even found myself quoting some of the terminology and verbiage learned from my friends here. Today as I was sitting in traffic on my way to work. I started drifting off eyelids heavy, I was imagining a world that was populated by only Flickr members, and what a wonderful world it was. I dreamed that the planet had been repopulated with only Flickr members and there was a beautiful absence of powerlines. Everybody greeted each other with cheerful comments and salutations and there wasn't a single "No Trespassing" sign to be seen. The sunrise and sunsets last 4 hours and there was a charging station at every parking lot. All extinct animals and current habitants walked freely through every town and amongst it's folk. There was a pullout on the correct side of the road at every spectacular viewpoint and there were birds of every size and color winging around in wondrous puffy clouds and......................Honk Honk, Move it buddy!!!!!!! Ah crap, I'm still here stuck in traffic. Sadness :(

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.
Il Santuario di Loreto conserva, secondo un'antica tradizione, oggi comprovata dalle ricerche storiche e archeologiche, la casa nazaretana della Madonna. La dimora terrena di Maria a Nazaret era costituita da due parti: da una Grotta scavata nella roccia, tuttora venerata nella basilica dell'Annunciazione a Nazaret.
l rivestimento marmoreo è il capolavoro dell'arte lauretana. Esso custodisce l'umile Casa di Nazareth come lo scrigno accoglie la perla. Voluto da Giulio II ed ideato dal sommo architetto Donato Bramante, che nel 1509 ne approntò il disegno, fu attuato sotto la direzione di Andrea Sansovino (1513-27), di Ranieri Nerucci e di Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane. In seguito furono collocate nelle nicchie le statue delle Sibille e dei Profeti.
The Sanctuary of Loreto preserves, according to an ancient tradition, proven today by the historical and archaeological research, the Nazareth home of Our Lady. The earthly dwelling of Mary in Nazareth was made up of two parts: a cave carved into the rock, still venerated in the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth.
the marble facing is the Loreto masterpiece. It preserves the humble house of Nazareth as the casket welcomes the pearl. By Julius II and designed by the great architect Donato Bramante, that in 1509 he readied the design was implemented under the direction of Andrea Sansovino (1513-27), Ranieri Nerucci and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger. Later they were placed in niches statues of Sibyls and the Prophets.
