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.

A serene calmness

as the sea heaved slowly

to welcome the sun.

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...

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.

Hope your day will be amazing.

Those crisp cloud-funnels looked almost like smoke!

It was pretty stormy here all through September...

J'ai pris avec gourmandise cette dernière photo du magnifique clocher roman de l'abbaye de Cluny. C'était une belle image à garder avant de repartir

I took with relish this last shot showing the beautiful Romanesque bell tower of Cluny's abbey. It was a beautiful image to keep before leaving.

In Explore 2 octobre 2016 "#331"

This year has not been one of the better years in my life and I have really struggled just to continue with what needs to be done,

 

I have had a hard time breaking loose to focus on photography or even art. Every so often I force myself to not think of life and just take photos. This is another shot of Mono Lake from my recent road trip. I hope you all enjoy these little glimpses into my life.

 

On a side note I have been looking at the Flickr Explore lists every day, and looking back at what I am doing wrong with my art, and at first was bummed when my work was not measuring up, but now I have made my peace, and I have come to the conclusion that my work is not algorithm friendly and not worthy of "Explore" status.

Fabulous Geisler Dolomites and the Gschnagenhardt Alm (Malga Casnago), South Tyrol, Italy 2015.

A good friend of mine Bruce Livingston sent me an image of a pipe organ and asked if I might use it as it really was a very cool geometric pattern shot. I have been playing around with it for a couple of weeks and it was going to make an appearance last week but I went a bit in another direction. I went back to the shot and carrying the theme of the New York Sykline, it managed to get stirred into the soup and produced many of the shapes and lines in this rather unique view of the New York Skyline as seen from the Staten Island Ferry. This is one of those slides that I just kept following to see where the work was going to take me, a twisted path but I love the looseness and fluidity of the lines. Only three images were used, a building facade, a pipe organ and some tourists taking a picture of the skyline from the ferry.

 

Thank you Bruce for letting me use your shot, probably didn't see this coming :).

 

Please visit the original and stroll through Bruce's excellent photostream:
