Smile on Saturday #OneHundredSmiles
What must be Berlin's largest teddy bear. "Fynn" by Steiff is 4 meters (13 feet) tall, and can be found at the atrium of the LP12 Mall of Berlin on Leipziger Platz. I had to stand right in front of Fynn, because the comfy chairs placed right at Fynn's "paws" were all occupied by tired Christmas shoppers. The Mall opened in September 2014 and is Berlin's second biggest shopping mall. This December I visited it for the very first time, together with Sabine.R, on a photowalk. Taken with the Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5mm ultra wide-angle lens.
Steiff is one of Germany's most renowned manufacturers of stuffed toys / plush animals. It was founded in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, who designed and made most of the prototypes of her plush animals herself. Steiff's nephew Richard, who joined the company in 1897, invented the teddy bear in 1902. By 1907 Steiff had already manufactured and sold 974,000 teddy bears, the output continues to increase to this day, and Steiff plushies are sold worldwide. The Steiff company motto is "Only the best is good enough for children."
Happy 100th, Smile on Saturday! Keep smiling :-)))
Der vermutlich größte Teddybär Berlins. Vier Meter hoch ist "Fynn" und sitzt im Atrium der LP12 Mall of Berlin. Ich habe direkt vor Fynn gestanden (stehen müssen), weil sämtliche Sessel zu seinen "Tatzen" von erholungssuchenden Weihnachtsbummlern belegt waren, und die wollte ich nicht mit auf dem Bild haben. Fynn ist ein echter "Steiff-Knopf-im-Ohr-Bär" ;-)
Aufgenommen mit dem Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5mm Ultraweitwinkel bei einem Fotospaziergang mit Sabine.R, der uns erst in die Mall of Berlin führte, dann auf's Park Inn und anschließend zum Weihnachtsmarkt am Alexanderplatz, zum Dom und als Abschluss zu Spree und Reichstagsgebäude.
Smoke and haze filled the air around Mt. Hood, OR as fires burned in Western Canada. A view from above timberline on the southern flank of Mt. Hood - late August 2018.
45 miles away, Mt Jefferson can be seen rising above the haze.

Every year, around the last weekend of August or perhaps 1st weekend of September, a street car show takes place here in Manchester, the so called "Cruising Downtown". And for every pertrolhead/car enthusiast this is a grade A opportunity to admire some really cool cars. Like this 1966 Shelby Cobra for example, also called AC Cobra in UK. It is powered by the classic "side oiler" 7,0L V8 Ford engine delivering roughly 425HP (and allowing the car to have a whopping top speed of 164MPH) and while some people may think this is a Ford car, it's not. The manufacturer is AC (Auto Carriers Ltd) in UK or Carroll Shelby in the US. Ford, however, played a significant role developping this car as, aside from the giving it its hear (the engine), it also cooperated in the design of it. This is the 3rd Generation of the car and probably the most popular one.

Καθε χρονο, στα τελη του Αυγουστου/αρχες Σεπτεμβρη, ενα street car show διοργανωνεται στο κεντρο του Manchester, το επωνομαζομενο "Cruising Downtown". Και οπως καταλαβαινετε, για καθε λατρη της αυτοκινησης αποτελει μιας πρωτης ταξεως ευκαιρια για να απολαυσει μερικα πολυ εντυπωσιακα αυτοκινητα. Οπως αυτη η Shelby Cobra του 1966, η αλλιως AC Cobra στο Ηνωμενο Βασιλειο. Κατω απο το καπω εχει εναν 7λιτρο V8 της Ford ο οποιος αποδιδει περιπου 425 αλογα (και επιτρεποντας στο αμαξι να εχει μια ιδιαιτερα εντυπωσιακη, για τα τοτε δεδομενα, τελικη 264χλμ/ωρα) και ενω πολλοι ισως πιστευουν οτι ειναι ενα αμαξι της Ford αυτο δεν ειναι. Ο κατασκευαστης του ειναι η AC (Auto Carriers Ltd) στην Αγγλια η Carroll Shelby στις ΗΠΑ. Η Ford παρολαυτα επαιξε σημαντικο ρολο στην αναπτυξη του συγκεκριμενου αυτοκινητου αφου εκτος του οτι εδωσε την καρδια (κινητηρα) συμμετειχε στο ολο εργο της σχεδιασης. Στη φωτογραφια βλεπουμε την 3η γενια της Shelby Cobra που κατα τη γνωμη μου ειναι και η πιο δημοφιλης.

Hello dear friends!
1st of 2 new pics today ☺☺☺
Snow began falling here this morning! (2018-10-29)
So I thought to post some warm Summer Memories! :-)
Isn't nature wonderful :-)
I loved the way this flower rose up & over the water... but still
remained off to the side of the treeline reflection upon the water :-)
Something special in this composition for me :-)
Sometimes rules go out the window when we're photographing, eh? ;-)
This was taken in July, and the day began gorgeously at 04:24 that morning :-)
A huge fog bank rolled in around 05:00, but luckily the sun peeked out again, which allowed me to capture this shot over the canal at 05:35 :-)
Dedicating this one to all the wonderful friends who continue to visit
from time to time... even though I can't upload so often.
You inspire me endlessly! ☺
I truly appreciate your kindness & support :-)
Thanks a million everyone!
You guys are the best :-)
☺☺☺

Thamudic and Nabataean inscriptions, depicting camel caravans, hunting warriors and various animals, are common throughout the Wadi Rum area. The Alameleh inscriptions, near the Seven Pillars of Wisdom and on the edge of the Diseh district, are some of the most comprehensive and best preserved.
The desert trips with the jeeps are well organised and I would recomend the 4 hour jeep trip, any excursion will be organised for you by Mr khaled.

In these days, as the nights get longer and the days shorter, I like to remember the time back a year ago, when we were together in Canada to discover the uniquely beautiful nature. And we were able to spend so many wonderful hours and days together, that we look back with joy and gratitude on this blessed time. My eldest son stayed in Canada for a other 6 months and did not return until February this year. In that time when he was in Canada, close friendships developed. His longing for the country and his dear friends was so great, that he went back to Canada this summer again, to meet there his friends and the beautiful nature again. This picture was taken at this time and I am so grateful to my beloved son, that I am allowed to share it with you, dear friends. Thank you very much Jonah. (Sometimes it seems to me, that my son and I can see such natural beauties through the same eyes. I would have captured this beautiful lake like him. I am so happy that we both have so much joy in nature and the passion for photography, to experience and share with each other the wonders of creation.)
I have tears in my eyes, because I too would like to return to this breathtakingly beautiful country with its fantastic landscapes. It was one of the best times in my life.
Thank you so much my dear friends, for take part of my personel journey and my deep feelings for this wonderful nature and also for the people who belong to this beautiful country. The indigenous people there deserve our respect and recognition. I am so grateful to have stirred the spirit of freedom and peace there. I was never as close to my childhood dream as I was in Canada in these days. I'll come back, God's willing.
To the picture: Peyto Lake is a mountain lake in the Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake is fed by glaciers and is world-famous for its eye-catching turquoise color. The photo was taken in the early morning hours. This location is one of the most beautiful viewpoint you can have there.
A prayer of peace
May we seek the truth, and speak it quietly.
May we listen for truth in the words of others with open minds and hearts.
And may we always remember the peace that may be found in silence.
(From an Indian prayer)

Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa, io non credea
Tornare ancor per uso a contemplarvi
Sul paterno giardino scintillanti,
E ragionar con voi dalle finestre
Di questo albergo ove abitai fanciullo,
E delle gioie mie vidi la fine.
Quante immagini un tempo, e quante fole
Creommi nel pensier l'aspetto vostro
E delle luci a voi compagne! allora
Che, tacito, seduto in verde zolla,
Delle sere io solea passar gran parte
Mirando il cielo, ed ascoltando il canto
Della rana rimota alla campagna!
E la lucciola errava appo le siepi
E in su l'aiuole, susurrando al vento
I viali odorati, ed i cipressi
Là nella selva; e sotto al patrio tetto
Sonavan voci alterne, e le tranquille
Opre de' servi. E che pensieri immensi,
Che dolci sogni mi spirò la vista
Di quel lontano mar, quei monti azzurri,
Che di qua scopro, e che varcare un giorno
Io mi pensava, arcani mondi, arcana
Felicità fingendo al viver mio!
Ignaro del mio fato, e quante volte
Questa mia vita dolorosa e nuda
Volentier con la morte avrei cangiato....
...O speranze, speranze; ameni inganni
Della mia prima età! sempre, parlando,
Ritorno a voi; che per andar di tempo,
Per variar d'affetti e di pensieri,
Obbliarvi non so. Fantasmi, intendo,
Son la gloria e l'onor; diletti e beni
Mero desio; non ha la vita un frutto,
Inutile miseria. E sebben vóti
Son gli anni miei, sebben deserto, oscuro
Il mio stato mortal, poco mi toglie
La fortuna, ben veggo. Ahi, ma qualvolta
A voi ripenso, o mie speranze antiche,
Ed a quel caro immaginar mio primo;
Indi riguardo il viver mio sì vile
E sì dolente, e che la morte è quello
Che di cotanta speme oggi m'avanza;
Sento serrarmi il cor, sento ch'al tutto
Consolarmi non so del mio destino.
E quando pur questa invocata morte
Sarammi allato, e sarà giunto il fine
Della sventura mia; quando la terra
Mi fia straniera valle, e dal mio sguardo
Fuggirà l'avvenir; di voi per certo
Risovverrammi; e quell'imago ancora
Sospirar mi farà, farammi acerbo
L'esser vissuto indarno, e la dolcezza
Del dì fatal tempererà d'affanno...

HK Style II - Hong Kong
We have had armored cars on this stream before and whereas I do have that "déjà vu" feeling, I believe we have not seen this particular one. We are in the center of Dublin the questions are what is the date and what are they doing there?
While there were not as many unknowns here, when compared to our other more evasive mysteries, derangedlemur, Beachcomber, and guliolopez have corroberated the key points; Of location, subject and date. The location is unequivocal - the corner of Henry Street and O'Connell Street (beneath Nelson's Pillar and the GPO). The principal subjects are confirmed as members of the Pro-Treaty National Army, including Captain Patrick (Specky) Griffin on the right, their Rolls-Royce Armoured Car (number ARR6), and an effigy they appear to have made of Anti-Treaty republican Rory O'Connor. The date, based on this effigy and other clues, is suggested as sometime within the first week of July 1922 - during the Civil War's 'Battle of Dublin'. Probably within a day or so (or even just a few hours or minutes) of Hogan's image of the evacuation of a nearby hotel.....
Photographer: W. D. Hogan
Collection: Hogan Wilson Collection
Date: Catalogue range c.1922. Likely first week of July 1922

As we descend from Sgor Mor, the clouds lift from the mountain tops, clearly revealing The Devils Peak, Cairn Toul, Sgor an Lochain Uaine and Braeriach. The deep valley of Glen Dee leading to the Lairig Ghru marches into the distance. To give a sense of scale, a walkers bothy can just be made out at the foot of Devil's Peak deep in the Glen.
At a height of 2667 feet (813 meters), Sgor Mor doesn't quite qualify as a Munro as it's 333 feet (111 meters) short, but it is a Corbett and offers some great views of the Cairngorms.

7DWF, Monday: Anything Goes
Surprisingly empty upper platforms at Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) on a beautiful summer evening. Believe it or not, Berlin Hauptbahnhof is the largest train station in Europe, with approximately 300 000 travellers per day, making it the 4th most frequented train station in Germany (after Hamburg, Munich, and Frankfurt/Main). Or the least frequented, at least on a Saturday evening at 19:39 o' clock. Well, the next train to Zurich from platform 13 wasn't due until 21:04. At least there was a lonely dove, an employee of the Deutsche Bahn AG (in the red hat), shuffling along the platform, and a guy who organized his luggage. And us: Sabine.R, marionrosengarten, --Conrad-N-- and H. Roebke :-)
Bemerkenswerte Leere am ehemaligen Lehrter Bahnhof (seit 2006 Berlin Hauptbahnhof) an einem sonnigen Samstagabend um 19:39 Uhr. Der nächste Zug nach Zürich ging von Gleis 13 aber auch erst um 21:04 Uhr. Immerhin schlurfte ein Mitarbeiter der Deutschen Bahn auf Gleis 13 entlang, ein einsamer Passagier ordnete sein Gepäck, und die nicht minder einsame Taube hatte somit den Bahnsteig fast für sich. Aber wir waren ja auch noch da: Sabine.R, marionrosengarten, --Conrad-N-- and H. Roebke :-)

Punta Giglio è un promontorio calcareo che assieme a capo Caccia racchiude la baia di porto Conte. Impropriamente viene chiamata "punta", poiché in realtà ha le caratteristiche di "capo" per la sua altezza sul livello del mare. Deve il suo nome per la presenza di numerose piante di giglio. È compreso nel territorio della Area naturale marina protetta Capo Caccia - Isola Piana Dalla sommità è possibile ammirare il panorama circostante. Per la strategica posizione dominante tra Porto Conte e Alghero era un importante base antiaerea dell'esercito durante l'ultima guerra, di cui esistono ancora le strutture con caserma, piattaforme di posizionamento cannoni antiaerei, casematte e deposito esplosivi, costruiti con pietre di calcare del posto e mimetizzati alla vista dal mare.

The Spanish Steps are located on the Piazza di Spagna in Rome. The term Spanish Steps is often used as a popular name for this square. Here is also the Fontana della Barcaccia literally: Fountain of the ugly boat . The fountain provides the Piazza di Spagna with a picturesque appearance. The Stairs belong to the church Trinitá dei Monti. The church, with its two towers dominating the Spanish Steps, was originally founded by the French King Louis XII in 1502. Already in the 17th century they wanted to connect this church with the square below where the Spanish embassy was located, hence the name Piazza di Spagna. There is an Obelisk in front of the church. The Obelisk Sallustiano is one of the thirteen old obelisks of Rome. It was built in Roman imperial times in imitation of the Egyptian obelisks. The obelisk was given in 1738 to Pope Clement XII. On 8 December, the Pope traditionally brings a flower tribute to the statue of Mary at the foot of the Spanish Steps.
The Spanish steps, one of Rome's most popular tourist sites. Who can forget the scene in Roman Holiday where Audrey Hepburn stands in her circle skirt with Gregory Peck on the Spanish Steps? YouTube: Movie - Roman Holiday 1953
De Spaanse Trappen bevinden zich op het Piazza di Spagna in Rome. De term Spaanse Trappen wordt vaak gebruikt als populaire naam voor dit plein. Hier staat ook de Fontana della Barcaccia letterlijk: Fontein van de lelijke boot. De fontein verschaft de Piazza di Spagna een pittoresk uiterlijk. Op donderdag 19 februari 2015 werd de recent opgeknapte fontein, voorafgaand aan de UEFA Europa League-wedstrijd AS Roma-Feyenoord, ernstig beschadigd door hooligans van Feyenoord. Het wangedrag van de hooligans leidde tot internationale verontwaardiging. De Trappen behoren bij de kerk Trinitá dei Monti. De kerk, die met zijn twee torens de Spaanse Trappen domineert, is oorspronkelijk gesticht door de Franse koning Lodewijk XII in 1502. Al in de 17de eeuw wilden ze deze kerk verbinden met het plein beneden waar de Spaanse ambassade was gevestigd vandaar ook de naam Piazza di Spagna. Voor de kerk staat een Obelisk. De Obelisk Sallustiano is één van de dertien oude obelisken van Rome. Het werd gebouwd in de Romeinse keizertijd in navolging van de Egyptische obelisken. De obelisk werd in 1738 geschonken aan paus Clemens XII. Op 8 december brengt de paus traditioneel een bloemenhulde aan het Mariabeeld aan de voet van de Spaanse Trappen.

Rome is the capital of Italy and located in the Lazio region. The city has about 2.8 million inhabitants, the population of the metropolitan region is 3.7 million. The history of the city can be tasted in the many old buildings that the city possesses. Worth seeing are the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, St. Peter's Basilica, the Trevi Fountain and the Victor Emmanuel II Monument. Rome is just one big open-air museum. Throughout the history of more than 2700 years, the city developed into one of the most important cities of Western culture. Rome was the capital of the Roman Kingdom. Rome is located in the Lazio region in the middle of Italy. The city lies on the banks of the Tiber. The center is located on seven hills. In Rome you can not escape a comparison between the past and the present.
Piazza Del Grillo is a charming street in the center of ancient Rome in the Monti district just steps from the Colosseum and Roman Forum. The street takes its name from an ancient Roman family called Del Grillo who owned a beautiful eighteenth century building connected by an overpass in an adjacent medieval Torre delle Milizie, located in the heart of the historic center of Rome, near Trajan's Markets. It gained the popular nickname of "Nero's Tower" from a tradition that it originated as an ancient Roman construction from which Emperor Nero watched the Great Fire of Rome in the year AD 64. It caused widespread devastation.
Rome is de hoofdstad van Italië en gelegen in de regio Lazio. De stad heeft ca. 2,8 miljoen inwoners, het inwonertal van de metropoolregio bedraagt 3,7 miljoen. De historie van de stad is te proeven in de vele oude gebouwen die de stad bezit. Bezienswaardig zijn het Colosseum, het Forum Romanum, het Pantheon, de Sint-Pietersbasiliek, de Trevifontein en het Monument van Victor Emanuel II. Rome is gewoon één groot openluchtmuseum. Doorheen de geschiedenis van ruim 2700 jaar ontwikkelde de stad zich tot één van de belangrijkste steden van de westerse cultuur. Rome was de hoofdstad van het Romeinse Koninkrijk. Rome bevindt zich in de regio Lazio in het midden van Italië. De stad ligt aan de oevers van de Tiber. Het centrum bevindt zich op zeven heuvels. In Rome ontkom je niet aan een vergelijk tussen vroeger en nu. Piazza Del Grillo is een charmante straat in het centrum van het oude Rome in de wijk Monti, op slechts een steenworp afstand van het Colosseum en het Forum Romanum. De straat ontleent zijn naam aan een oude Romeinse familie genaamd Del Grillo, die eigenaar was van een prachtig achttiende-eeuws gebouw verbonden door een viaduct in een aangrenzende middeleeuwse toren delle Milizie, gelegen in het hart van het historische centrum van Rome, dichtbij het Forum van Trajanus.

The Deutscher Dom (German Church or New Church) is part of an important architectural ensemble composed of the German Church, the French Church, and the Konzerthaus (Concert Hall). The ensemble is located on the Gendarmenmarkt which is regarded as one of the most beautiful places in Berlin.
Reflected in the windows of the Quartier 205, a shopping mall, commercial and residential house located between the Gendarmenmarkt and Friedrichstrasse, is the domed tower of the German / New Church. The tower of the German Church, which is much bigger than the building of the church itself, never had a sacral function. In fact the name "Dom" refers to the French word dôme / English dome, and not to a cathedral. Complicated? Let's make it a little more so, the German Church is not to be confused with the Berlin Cathedral which in fact is a real cathedral and the Evangelical Supreme Parish and Collegiate Church of Berlin, Germany.

Dom reflektiert...
...in den Fenstern des Quartiers 205, einem Wohn- und Geschäftshaus mit edler Einkaufspassage zwischen Gendarmenmarkt und Friedrichstraße in Berlin-Mitte. Der Deutsche Dom, wie auch sein Pendant, der Französische Dom, sind Teil des berühmten Architekturensembles auf dem Gendarmenmarkt, das vom Konzerthaus (ehemals Schauspielhaus) komplettiert wird. Der Gendarmenmarkt gilt als einer der schönsten Plätze Berlins.
Weder der Deutsche noch der Französische Dom sind Kirchen im eigentlichen Sinne, der Name leitet sich vielmehr vom französischen "dôme" ab und bezieht sich auf die kuppelförmigen Türme, die die jeweiligen Kirchengebäude bei Weitem überragen.

From the 8th century BC. the settlements of the surrounding hills united and the city of Rome was founded. The Forum Romanum also known as Foro Romano, is a plaza surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. When you look at the Roman Forum today, you will see a large plain full of ruins. Yet this has not always been the case. Once the Forum Romanum was the bustling center of Rome. Everyone came here. Acting on political talk, important decisions were taken at the Roman Forum. There were several temples where people could pray. For a thousand years, the Forum of Romanum was the center that everyone attended, but in the Middle Ages this once-important center fell back because people became less and less interested in this center. The trade moved to Trajan's markets. The forum Romanum changed into a meadow where cows could graze. Stones and other building materials were taken away to be reused for new buildings. The forum slowly changed into a meadow where farmers had their cows grazed between the last ancient remains. At that time it was given the nickname Campo Vaccino, the cow field. Already during the renaissance people got interested in ancient Rome and the antique buildings of the forum, but this was mainly expressed in occasional treasure tombs in various places throughout the site. From 1800 onwards, work became more structured. In 1870 there was an overall excavation. The forum is now one of the biggest tourist attractions in the city.
Two thousand years ago, the Roman Forum in Rome must have looked imposing. The Roman Forum was the center of ancient Rome. Here were the most beautiful buildings of the Romans: public buildings, temples and memorials. We visit Rome on a hot summersday and temperatures soar to over 40ºC. Photo from the Piazza di Santa Maria Nova at the main entrance of Parco archeologico. We took it slow amid region’s most intense heatwave.
Vanaf de 8e eeuw v.Chr. verenigden de nederzettingen van de omliggende heuvels zich en ontstond de stad Rome. Het Forum Romanum - Latijn voor Romeins marktplein - was in de oudheid het centrum van Rome. Het forum was in de gloriedagen van het Romeinse Rijk het politieke, juridische, religieuze en commerciële centrum van de stad. Wie nu kijkt naar het Forum Romanum, ziet een grote vlakte vol ruïnes. Toch is dit niet altijd zo geweest. Ooit was het Forum Romanum het bruisende centrum van Rome. Iedereen kwam hier naar toe. Er werd gehandeld, over politiek gepraat, belangrijke beslissingen werden bij het Forum Romanum genomen. Er waren verschillende tempels waar mensen konden bidden. Duizend jaar lang was Forum van Romanum het centrum waar iedereen naar toeging, toch verviel in de middeleeuwen dit ooit zo belangrijke centrum doordat mensen steeds minder interesse kregen in dit centrum. De handel verhuisde naar de markten van Trajanus. Het forum Romanum veranderde in een weiland waar koeien konden grazen. Stenen en andere bouwmaterialen werden van weggehaald om voor nieuwe gebouwen herbruikt te worden.Het forum veranderde langzaam in een weiland waarop boeren hun koeien tussen de laatste antieke resten lieten grazen. Het kreeg destijds de bijnaam Campo Vaccino, het koeienveld. Al tijdens de renaissance kreeg men weer interesse in het oude Rome en de antieke gebouwen van het forum, maar dit uitte zich voornamelijk in ongeregeld schatgraven op diverse plaatsen verspreid over het terrein. Vanaf 1800 ging men structureler te werk. In 1870 volgde een algehele opgraving. Het forum is nu één van de grootste toeristische attracties van de stad. We bezoeken Rome op een hete zomerdag en temperaturen stijgen tot boven de 40ºC. Foto vanaf het kerkplein Maria Nova vlakbij de hoofdingang van het Forum. We hebben het langzaam gedaan te midden van de meest intense hittegolf in de regio.
