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.

Beautiful sunset at the coast of Hvidbjerg Strand last August. Cant't wait to be there again around Easter. Jylland, Denmark
Königssee

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.

Taken at Portage lake last night. The temperatures were around -8F degrees. I came across this section of the lake where the ice had fractured and piled up on the beach. I highlighted the foreground by using my LED Coleman latern on low setting to paint the ice and the sharp angles of the snow. Unfortunately I just missed the huge explosion of the northern lights in the background. There were oranges, pinks, and greens.

A view from the bridge of the 'John 1' spacecraft as she travels through the galaxy on a continuing mission to explore strange new worlds and other stuff like that.
(Actually a neck-craning look skywards up the Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur).
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.

The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary, and was opened in 1849.
