Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several days later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs jours après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
France. Vosges. Alsace. Haut-Rhin. Vallée de Munster. Photo prise lors d'une rando en boucle partielle effectuée avec ma femme au départ du Gaschney, en passant successivement par le Lac de Schiessrothried, le Col du Wormspel, le haut de la crête des Spitzkoepfe, une partie du Sentier des Névés, le Col du Wormspel à nouveau, le Hohneck et pour finir le Col de Schaeferthal.
Les paysages grandioses et les magiques couleurs d'automne au soleil ont fait de cette rando une de nos plus belles randos ! ❤️
Comme indiqué dans le titre, cette photo a été prise depuis le flanc droit de la crête des Spitzkoepfe, près du point le plus haut.
Sur ce cliché, on peut voir quelques beaux rochers de cette crête rocheuse et sauvage, prisée des alpinistes et amateurs de sensations fortes. D'ailleurs, à droite des rochers de gauche, on aperçoit légèrement le casque d'un alpiniste et le corps d'un autre.
En bas à droite, on peut voir la pente abrupte plonger vers la Combe d'Ammelthal et ses belles couleurs d'automne.
Quand j'étais sur cette forte pente, j'étais subjugué la sauvagerie du décor mais je n'étais pas à l'aise car je suis légèrement sujet au vertige et qu'il y avait du vent. J'étais particulièrement mal à l'aise quand je prenais des photos. 😉
Dans la pente, on peut voir quelques arbustes déjà complètement dénudés le 13 octobre. Il y en avait beaucoup plus sur le flanc gauche, du côté du Lac de Schiessrothried.
2.5 Seconds series - climate change awareness project
.
The world is getting warmer. Since the Industrial Revolution, the global average surface temperature has increased by more than 0.9 degrees Celsius and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by more than a third. Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the warmest years on record taking place since 2010. 2016 and 2019 were the warmest years on record.
Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. More than 197 international scientific organizations agree that global warming is real and has been caused by human action.
It is causing a set of changes and complex shifts to the Earth's which climate scientists call “climate change”. Volcanic eruptions and variations in solar radiation from sunspots have contributed only about two percent to the recent warming effect. The balance comes from greenhouse gases and other human-caused factors.
The rapid rise in greenhouse gases is a problem because it’s changing the climate faster than some living things can adapt to. Also, a new and more unpredictable climate poses unique challenges to all life. A one-degree global change is significant. In the past, a one- to two-degree drop was all it took to plunge the Earth into the Little Ice Age.
Already, global warming is having a measurable effect on the planet.

With this shot I'd like to celebrate two precious things: the Earth's Day 2020 and my family.
I have captured this moment during our 2014 summer vacations while descending from the Waldnersee, in Ahrntal (South Tyrol). It had just stopped raining, at least for the moment. The temperature was about a windy 3-4° C; the landscape was soaked wet, but always beautiful. My wife, Laura, decided that she wanted to improve the mood of the family and, typically, offered us some candies ;-)
The summer of 2014 was exceedingly rainy and cold and after that hike I got a half-bronchitis; nevertheless this photo stirs warm memories of a time when our sons were still almost out of their teen years and life was a bit nicer and simpler ;-)
Hope that you will enjoy it!
Dear friends, what are we doing in times when we are not allowed to travel? We can take photos around our home - sure. I guess we all do this - till we cannot see anything new any more, right? And then we remember the great times where we have been at the most wonderful places that are right now and possibly forever totally out of reach - full of desire. Such a place is Machu Picchu for me - a magic place and a place that I had the chance to visit exactly one year before.
We were fifteen people in our group last year - great folks and we are still in contact. And one of us had the idea to start with a kind of diary from our tour to South America in our WhatsApp group. So we start each day with a short summary of what we experienced that day and everybody contribute with photos, comments and memories - and so we are virtually travelling back to the past and redo our tour again...and are happy about all the little things that we thought we have forgotten and can now enjouy again...
That's also the reason why I am posting these photos now here on flickr and hope to take you with me a bit along that journey...
Take care and stay healthy, Werner
Liebe Freunde, was machen wir in Zeiten, in denen wir nicht reisen dürfen? Wir können Fotos rund um unser Zuhause machen - sicher. Ich denke, wir alle machen das - bis wir nichts Neues mehr finden können, oder? Und dann erinnern wir uns an die großartigen Zeiten, in denen wir an den schönsten Orten waren, die jetzt und möglicherweise für immer völlig unerreichbar sind - voller Sehnsucht. Ein solcher Ort ist für mich Machu Picchu - ein magischer Ort und ein Ort, den ich genau vor einem Jahr besuchen durfte.
Wir waren fünfzehn Leute in unserer Gruppe - großartige Menschen und wir sind immer noch in Kontakt. Und einer von uns hatte die Idee, mit einer Art Tagebuch von unserer Tour nach Südamerika in unserer WhatsApp-Gruppe zu beginnen. So beginnen wir jeden Tag mit einer kurzen Zusammenfassung dessen, was wir an diesem Tag erlebt haben, und alle tragen mit Fotos, Kommentaren und Erinnerungen dazu bei - und so reisen wir praktisch zurück in die Vergangenheit und wiederholen unsere Tour erneut ... und freuen uns über all die kleinen Dinge, von denen wir dachten, dass wir sie schon vergessen hätten und können sie jetzt wieder genießen...
Das ist auch der Grund, warum ich diese Fotos jetzt hier auf Flickr poste und hoffe, Euch auf dieser Reise ein wenig mitnehmen zu können ...
Passt auf euch auf und bleibt gesund, Werner

Yik Cheong Building and Montane Mansion are most famous spots in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong. It also known as "Monster Building".
Field sparrows are back! These neat little sparrows nest right here in Lake Meyer Park. Note this bird's pretty pink bill - a key ID characteristic since most sparrows have gray or yellow bills.

Procida is the smallest island of the Gulf of Naples; it is rich in attractions and archaeology. From the ground floor of Napoli Centro train station, you can take the metro to station Pozzuoli then get off and take the ferry at the port of Pozzuoli. The architecture of Procida has a Greek origin. In fact, the history of Procida is concentrated first of all on the medieval village “Terra Murata” and on “Corricella”, the fishing settlement. The island has served as the set for numerous films, such as The “Postman”, and some scenes in “The Talented Mr. Ripley” were shot on Corricella. The landmarks of Procida reflect typical Mediterranean pastel colours. Procida offers simply cooking and at least 10 excellent restaurants with plain cooking based on fresh fish. This simple style never fails, thanks to the 20 local fishing boats. The specialties of the cooking are: stewed rabbit (which goes back to the Borbonen who came on Procida to hunt the wild rabbit) and spaghetti with sea-urchin. Procida has 6 beaches with crystal-clear waters. Spent some relaxing days on this wonderful island. Experience the real Italy, lovely people, great views, great sand and great food.
Procida is not just a triumph of light and sea! It has its history like every other place, which here is made of wind, sea and faith. In 1811, the French poet and writer Alphonse De Lamartine arrived in Italy when he was only 21 years old. According to the story, the writer fell in love with a young local orphan named Graziella. Years later Lamartine decided to write a beautiful novel about this. This romantic love story was born on this island. They reconstructed this site two hundred years after this event. This Casa di Graziella is clearly much richer than a fisherman's house. The entire wardrobe is dated between 1800 and 1900. The purpose of the museum is to save and continue to promote the history and culture of Procida through the eyes of Graziella who lived and died for love. It gives an idea of how (not so poor people) lived in Procida 100 years ago. There is also an outside balcony from which you can see the Coast, Mount Vesuvius and surrounding Islands, including Capri.
Procida is het kleinste eiland van de Golf van Napels; het is rijk aan attracties en archeologie. Vanaf de begane grond van treinstation Napoli Centro kunt u de metro naar station Pozzuoli nemen, uitstappen en de veerboot nemen in de haven van Pozzuoli. De architectuur van Procida heeft een Griekse oorsprong. In feite is de geschiedenis van Procida allereerst geconcentreerd op het middeleeuwse dorp "Terra Murata" en op "Corricella", de vissersnederzetting. Het eiland heeft gediend als decor voor tal van films, zoals The "Postman", en sommige scènes in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" zijn opgenomen op Corricella. De herkenningspunten van Procida weerspiegelen typische mediterrane pastelkleuren. In 1811 arriveerde de Franse dichter en schrijver Alphonse De Lamartine in Italië toen hij nog maar 21 jaar oud was. Volgens het verhaal werd de schrijver verliefd op een jonge lokale wees genaamd Graziella. Jaren later besloot Lamartine een prachtige roman hier over te schrijven. Dit romantische liefdesverhaal werd geboren op dit eiland. Tweehonderd jaar na dit evenement hebben ze deze site gereconstrueerd. Dit huis is duidelijk veel rijker dan een vissershuis. De gehele kleerkast is gedateerd tussen 1800 en 1900. Het doel van het museum is om de geschiedenis en cultuur van Procida te redden en te blijven promoten door de ogen van Graziella die leefde en stierf voor liefde. Het geeft een idee hoe (niet zo arme mensen) 100 jaar geleden in Procida leefden. Er is ook een balkon van waaruit je de kust en de omliggende eilanden, waaronder Capri, kunt zien.
This sunrise at this lake was just wonderful! Amazing light - freezing temperatures - half of the lake was frozen - and the water like a mirror - unbelievable - no wind - just alone - pure nature and silence...a feast for your eyes and your soul...
Alpenglühen - Sonnenaufgang am North Lake, Kalifornien
Dieser Sonnenaufgang an diesem See war einfach wunderbar! Unglaublich schönes Licht - eisige Temperaturen - die Hälfte des Sees war zugefroren - und das Wasser wie ein Spiegel - kein Wind - ganz alleine - pure reine Natur und Stille ...ein Fest für das Auge und die Seele
Been a bit distracted lately but one thing I was working on was a B&W shot of the garlic family, This is one shot from that study.
It seems like I took this a long time ago but I see it wasn't that long. I hope this shot provides a moment of distraction.
All the best in these turbulent times and hope this day finds you safe and in good health! The cause of my distraction and reason I've been a bit absent from flickr lately is I'm approaching retirement and I'm a bit stressed. I was looking to finish out my 40 year career in style, big luncheon planned, lot's of hugging, reminiscing with old friends. Now with the added concern over COVID-19, we postponed the luncheon and I've been working from home for the last week. I cleared out my desk from work but still have another week, 10 days to be precise until my last day on 31 March. Very strange indeed and now I just want to get to the 31st and quell some of this anxiety along with the uncertainty of COVID-19. Well, I'll hang in there so we'll see!
Hunker down, wash those hands and keep your distance from other folk but most of all remember that we're all in this together.

Heron Quays DLR station - London, UK

Der zum Dachsteingebirge gehörende, alleinstehende und 2351 m hohe Grimming wurde wegen seiner schroffen und wuchtigen Erscheinung Jahrhunderte lang für den höchsten Berg der Steiermark gehalten, den "Mons Styriae altissimus". Wer ihn besteigen will hat rund 1700 Höhenmeter Aufstieg vor sich, somit also eine absolut herausfordernde Aufgabe. Auf diesem Foto von SO sind rechts neben dem Grimming auch noch Schloss Trautenfels sowie die kleine Ortschaft Pürgg (von Peter Rosegger auch "Kripperl der Steiermark" genannt) erkennbar.
The to the Dachstein mountain group belonging, solitaire, and 2351 metres high mountain Grimming was because of his abrupt and massive appearance supposed for centuries to be the highest mountain of Styria, the "Mons Styriae altissimus". Who want to climb him has around 1700 metres in height ahead, therefore a absolutely challenging task. At this photo from SE are right beside the Grimming recognizable Trautenfels Castle and the little village Puergg (by the poet Peter Rosegger also called the "little manger of Styria").
Another nocturnal faff to appease my creative inner child. Many thanks to my old pal Nihal for his invaluable patience and assistance.

My first view of the Avenue of the Volcanoes at 6:52 am (a 4h58m climb) from the Refugio (Hut).
There are several volcanoes, but the most striking are the Chimborazo on your right (I will climb it tomorrow), the highest in the world and Cotopaxi, the second highest volcano in Ecuador (I climbed it in the first 24 hours).
***
Climbing an active volcano is complicated.
The crater is just below me. It took years for the Ecuadorian government to release climbing permits.
Me knowing the risks and signing the papers. It is a great pleasure for Pachamama to accept me, agradiseyki.

Lancôme Christmas Tree St Pancras International - London, UK
9-shot, 180° stitched panorama of the Shanghai Shipyard Bridge. A dual steel bridge at the former "Shanghai No. 1 Shipyard" location in Pudong Lujiazui.
The bridge has been constructed over the exits of the former dry docks and is illuminated red at night. This is a part of the northern extension of the Lujiazui Riverside Promenade along the Huangpu River. A stretch of riverside that has been occupied by warehouses, quays and shipyards is converted into a park-like recreation area.
With the development of the Lujiazui Central Financial District Phase II in full swing, the riverside will be the recreational area of this mega-project.
On the right, in the distant background, is the Shanghai International Cruise Center, the downtown berthing point for large cruise ships.
