What should I say, my dear friends - I had 5 wonderful sunsets and 5 sunrises on my short trip from Las Vegas to California and back - and each of them was so beautiful and special to me...and I am so thankful that I could watch this all. And I am also very pleased by your great comments - that is a bit as if you would have accompanied me on my trip - many many thanks!!

 

I took this photo during my second visit of Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes on my way back to Las Vegas...and it was...see by your selves...

- at 5 am...originally alt home I wanted to go there to start with taking pictures of the stars - but that was definitely the wrong time - it was fullmoon :-) so I switched from stars to moon...I walked about a mile to reach the first dunes - nobody there - no footprint at all - pure virgin nature - and because of the full moon I didn't even need my headlamp. It was so beautiful and I tried to avoid making unnecessary footprints...it felt as if I would destroy this beauty and so I took care as much as I could. The dunes here were not high, maybe up to 20 feet but that really didn't matter - the ripples and textures in the light and shadow of the moon just flashed me...and if you zoom in you also can see some stars :-)

 

Was soll ich sagen, meine lieben Freunde - ich hatte 5 wundervolle Sonnenaufgänge und 5 wundervolle Sonnenuntergänge auf meiner kurzen Tour von Las Vegas nach Kalifornien und zurück - und jeder einzelne davon war wunderschön und ganz einzigartig für mich - und ich bin so dankbar dafür, dass ich das alles sehen konnte. Und ich freue mich umso mehr über Eure tollen Kommentare...das ist ein wenig so, als hättet Ihr mich auf meiner Tour begleitet...ganz herzlichen Dank dafür!

 

Ich habe dieses Foto während meines zweiten Besuchs von Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes auf meinem Weg zurück nach Las Vegas gemacht ... und es war ... seht selbst ...

- um 5 Uhr in der Früh ... ursprünglich, daheim, wollte ich dorthin, um vor dem Sonnenaufgang die Sterne zu fotografieren - aber das war definitiv die falsche Zeit - es war Vollmond :-) also wechselte ich von Sternen zu Mond ... Ich ging etwa eine Meile, um die ersten Dünen zu erreichen - niemand dort - überhaupt keinen Fußabdruck - reine unberührte Natur - und wegen des Vollmonds brauchte ich nicht einmal meine Stirnlampe. Es war so schön und ich versuchte unnötige Fußspuren zu vermeiden ... es fühlte sich so an, als würde ich diese Schönheit zerstören und so passte ich auf, so gut ich konnte. Die Dünen hier waren nicht hoch, vielleicht bis zu 5-6 Meter, aber das war wirklich egal - die Wellen und Texturen im Licht und Schatten des Mondes hatten mich in ihren Bann gezogen ...und wenn ihr reinzoomt, dann könnt ihr auch noch ein paar Sterne sehen :-)

Second in a new series of work where I attempt to elevate and honor the ordinary with cloth and stitch.

FAQ

Autumn.

This landscape was until October 24 and then winter was coming in southern Finland: 20 cm snow, freezing wind... I hate this weather. It's colder than usual for this time of year. Fortunately, today it's +6C and the snow melted in Helsinki. But it's raining now and gloomy weather.

The original wooden church.

The church was burned by Swedes in 1581, restored in 1582. A new wooden one-domed church with a detached bell tower was built in 1630, a new warm part with side-chapels was built up in 1874.

Canon DPP stripped off the exif while merging the hdr files, so I made another HDR fusion and blent with the one you are seeing now.

 

I couldn't help myself to push the colors button and brought the details of the lights in every corner and at the same time I tried to treat the sky and water in a harmonious way possible.

Hope you like it!

 

I'm not going to kill everyone's mood with the King of Leon song below, I just find it beautiful.

There is Orion Nebula in the photo. Sorry for the small defocus. But in my opinion the beauty is not spoiled ;-)

I wish you all a wonderful weekend, my friends!

 

I took this photo on a snow shoe hike at Sudelfeld, an area that belongs to the Bavarian Alps. The light was just great at this afternoon...there is nothing better than combining two passions - hiking and photography...

 

Ich habe das Bild während einer Schneeschuhwanderung im Sudelfeld, in den Bayerischen Alpen, geschossen. Das Licht war großartig an diesem Nachmittag...es gibt doch nichts Schöneres als zwei Leidenschaften miteinander zu verbinden - Wandern und Fotografieren...

Macro Mondays 2017/07: Heart

You will notice the Romanesque vault in transversal cradles and its arches with double roller and 2 colors. It is an almost unique case in Burgundy, only the rural church of Mont Saint-Vincent has a similar architecture.

On remarquera la voute romane en berceaux transversaux, avec des arcs à double rouleau et à 2 couleurs. C'est un cas presque unique en Bourgogne, seule l'église rurale de Mont-Saint-Vincent possède une architecture semblable.

Paula sprinted like crazy and seemed to fly through her first amazing winter wonderland! Image taken on a fantastic winter day in Marlstein, Tyrol, Austria 2017.

Bright brown and beautiful.

 

Autum was leaving me its yellow, red and brown,

Revealing the beauty of your face among nature's faces.

Winter is coming around,

Showing me your ribs and veins as a series of laces

The air you are breathing,

The world I am living,

Magic.Wonderland.

La montée à la Roche de Solutré, assez tranquille, est l'occasion de découvrir des vues magnifiques, notamment sur la Roche voisine de Vergisson, avec son petit village bourguignon typique entouré de vignes.

 

J'aime beaucoup cette vue là que je prends pratiquement à chaque fois que j'y vais.

Gorgeous view

 

The quiet climb to the Roche de Solutré (Solutre's Rock) let us discover gorgeous views, especially on the nearby Roche de Vergisson and its typical small Burgundian village surrounded by vines.

 

I like very much this particular view that i take nearly every time i go there.

For all Cinque Terre shots, I have to thank to my little sunrays and awesome one.

One for letting me shooting in peace and taking care my dog, and one for guiding me with long exposure and the trip along the way. The way they took good care of me.

Lying halfway between Lisbon and Oporto in the Beiras region of central Portugal, venerable Coimbra nestles on the banks of the River Mondego in dignified glory. Famed for its university - the oldest in the country - and a fantastic collection of handsome churches, serene monasteries, and lively cultural institutions, Coimbra is also a busy commercial hub with its many shops, boutiques, and appetizing choice of cafés and restaurants. The city center is divided into two neighborhoods, the Lower Town and the Upper Town. Its historic heart lies high above the Mondego on Alcaçova hill, known to the Romans as Aeminium. Here, medieval convents, cathedrals, and some fine museums cluster around the old University. Kings were born in Coimbra; they are entombed here, too. Indeed, it was once the proud capital of the Portuguese nation. This royal heritage permeates the city's steep hills, narrow lanes, and verdant parks, all of which are best explored on foot. And exploration further afield is rewarded with the largest and most compelling Roman site in Portugal, and an emerald-hued forest of enchanting allure and breathtaking beauty.

 

In terms of historic significance and romantic beauty, Coimbra is second only to Lisbon and Oporto. Its ancient buildings cling to the side of the hill that rises above the curves of the river Mondego, the ornate buildings of the famous University of Coimbra are its crowning glory. We are accessing the old part of the city through the Arco de Almedina, we find the old cathedral known as Se Velha. The most picturesque way to enter Coimbra's labyrinth of lanes is via Arco de Almedina. Coimbra's upper town rises quickly and picturesquely from the banks of the Rio Mondego. Photo taken from Hotel Astória.

 

De Portugese stad Coimbra heeft tijdens de middeleeuwen gefungeerd als hoofdstad. Destijds stond de stad bekend als Aeminium. De plaats ligt ongeveer 120 kilometer ten zuiden van de stad Porto vandaan. In Coimbra zijn veel waardevolle herinneringen bewaard gebleven die ons meer kunnen vertellen over de afgelopen zeven eeuwen. De universiteit heeft hier een groot aandeel in gehad. De vele studenten die de stad telt zorgen dat de plaatselijke horeca niets te kort komt. Er zijn dan ook veel gezellige clubs, bars, terrassen en restaurants te vinden. Qua festivals doet de stad Coimbra het ook erg goed. Massaal trekken bezoekers richting de stad als de ‘Festa das Latas of Queima das Fitas’ de stad lijken over te nemen. De studenten houden de historie volle stad Coimbra goed in leven. De rust vind je vooral in de groene delen van de stad. Parken zoals Penedo da Saudade, Santa Cruz Park, Mata Nacional do Choupal en de botanische tuin van de universiteit worden dan ook veelvuldig bezocht door zowel gasten als de lokale bevolking zelf. We wandelen door de straatjes en steegjes naar de best bewaarde oude Kathedraal van Coimbra. De Kathedraal uit de Romaanse periode trekt jaarlijks duizenden bezoekers. De binnenkant is even prachtig als de buitenkant doet vermoeden. Met name het schip en het hoofdaltaar zijn exceptioneel. Ook zijn er veel graven aanwezig die bestaan uit de meest bijzondere beeldhouwkunst. Vooral het graf van Vataça Lascaris met daarop het symbool van de tweekoppige adelaar waaruit men opmaakt dat zij van adel was, is een ware schat.
