Another shot from the wonderful autumn forest at the Herrenbachstausee (Artificial lake) which is situated near the Abbey Adelberg (Germany, Baden-Württemberg). The lake was built around 1970. The 22 m high and 220 m long dam built from groundmaterial can almost hold back 2 million cubic meters of water. The water is of up to 18 meters deep and has an area of about 10 hectares. It is a very delightful recreation area because of the scenic location. (Out of 3 single shots.)

Para subir neste local é necessario apenas um pouco de disposição e boa vontade de subir por cerca de 30 minutos numa trilha bem marcada e facil que se inicia dentro do Parque da Prainha e termina neste belo local onde podemos ver todo o Recreio dos Bandeirantes e Barra da Tijuca e a parte do Gigante Adormecido que as montanhas do Rio de Janeiro Formam.
Gigante Adormecido
Apesar de já retratado desde da época do Brasil Colônia, inclusive por Debret em 1816 (gravura na sequencia), poucas pessoas sabem que as montanhas do Rio de Janeiro formam um Gigante com cerca de 18 Km de extensão . A Pedra da Gavea seria a Cabeça, o Corcovado a Virilha, inclusive ha ate alguma piadas a respeito disto e o Pão de Açucar seria os Pés.
Pelo lado da Barra da Tijuca que seria o lado da Foto Principal, não é possivel ve-lo por completo, apenas nas proximidades da Ilha Rasa que se pode ter uma visão perfeita da formação rochosa.
Em 1969, Roberto Carlos estreou em 1969 e trazia uma das Lendas sobre o Gigante Adormecido, podemos ver a imagem do Gigante por completo clicando neste Video AQUI

As the autumn season is in its full swing, days are shorter... nature slows its pace and life outdoor is in energy conservation mode. Notice that the rock appeared to the left of the lake is NOT really a rock !!

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.
The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.
Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.
Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.
Boppard lies on the upper Middle Rhine, often known as the Rhine Gorge. This characteristic narrow form of valley arose from downward erosion of the Rhine’s riverbed. Since 2002, the Gorge has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A 17 km stretch of the Rhine forms the town’s eastern limit. (Wikipedia)

♫ When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art. ♫
O Forte Duque de Caxias ( forte do Leme) teve sua origem no Forte do Vigia, construção do século XVIII.
A necessidade de defender a cidade dos ataques de piratas e iminência de uma invasão espanhola, fizeram com que os morros fossem ocupados militarmente.
Em 1776, o Morro do Leme teve um forte instalado em seu cume, devido a sua visão privilegiada da entrada da Baia de Guanabara e da Praia de Copacabana.
Fort Duque de Caxias (Leme Fort) began with the construction of Fort Vigia in the 18th Century. The need to defend the city against pirate attacks and the possibility of a Spanish invasion led to the military occupation of the hills.
In 1776, a fort was built on Leme Hill’s peak due to it’s priveledged view of Guanaba Bay’s entrance and of Copacabana Beach - CEP/FDC

Strokkur (Icelandic for "churn") is a fountain geyser in the geothermal area beside the Hvítá River in Iceland in the southwest part of the country, east of Reykjavík. It is one of Iceland's most famous geysers, erupting about every 4–8 minutes 15 – 20 m high, sometimes up to 40 m high.
Light painting in Bohinj Lake, whilst a lightning storms plays across the surrounding peaks of the Triglav National Park. The white balance is as shot - the lightning picking out the distant peaks in a curious purple glow.
Wading out to the little rocky island to light paint, whilst the thunder and lightning bounced around the surrounding hills, was a slightly nervous endeavour, but worth it for the result. I shot a few goat versions first, which I might post, then just one of the girl. Despite the break in her arm, it seemed so clean that with the storm rolling down the slopes into the valley I thought I'd call it a day.
It's a while since I've done any light painting, as the whole process just takes too long to fit around busy work loads. Using a sock as a diffuser, however, has made the process much less haphazard, and so our recent holiday gave me a chance to get back into it. Without a sock (or other diffuser) on your flashlight/torch, lens flare is a real threat, wiping out maybe 2 in 3 shots. For this shot, I'd also put the flashlight in a plastic bag. The distance is very forgiving with the lines.
If you'd like to see some of my older light paintings, just click here. There are all created in camera by drawing lines free hand with a torch/flashlight.
After about ten attempted uploads, interrupted by sporadic #badpanda messages, the file is loaded, but without EXIF data. [Update - this appears to have fixed itself].
Maybe I should have dropped the ISO - the 5D Mkiii creates some disruptive coloured noise on long exposures at 400, which I don't see at lower sensitivities - but at over ten minutes a shot, the lightning was just too uncontrolled. A sudden flurry of strikes and the sky overexposed, so smaller time windows were needed. Although the actual forks of lightning aren't especially visible, they have the neat effect of freezing the sky mostly in place.
Hope everyone is having a superb weekend. Catching up now.
Haven't been around these parts much lately, but managed a couple of images in the meantime.

The Schönburg is a castle above the medieval town of Oberwesel in the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Schönburg Castle was first mentioned in history between the years 911 and 1166.
From the 12th century, the Dukes of Schönburg ruled over the town of Oberwesel and had also the right to levy customs on the Rhine river. The most famous was Friedrich von Schönburg - a much-feared man known as “Marshall Schomberg” - who in the 17th century served as a colonel and as a general under the King of France in France and Portugal and later also for the Prussians and for William Prince of Orange in England.
The Schönburg line died out with the last heir, the son of Friedrich of Schönburg.
The castle was burned down in 1689 by French soldiers during the Palatinate wars.
Schönburg castle remained in ruins for 200 years until it was acquired by the German-American Rhinelander family who bought the castle from the town of Oberwesel in the late 19th century, and restored it.
The town council of Oberwesel acquired the castle back from the Rhinelander family in 1950.
Since 1957 the Hüttl family have been living at the castle on a long-term lease; they operate a successful hotel and restaurant there. (Wikipedia)

Schokland is a former island in the Dutch Zuiderzee. Schokland lost its status as an island when the Noordoostpolder was reclaimed from the sea in 1942. The remains are still visible as a slightly elevated part in the polder and by the still partly intact retaining wall of the waterfront of Middelbuurt. As a result from the increasing sea-level Schokland transformed from an attractive settlement area in the Middle Ages to a place under continuous threat by floods in the 19th century. By that time the Schoklanders had retreated to the three most elevated parts, Emmeloord, Molenbuurt, and Middelbuurt. A major flood in 1825 brought massive destruction, and in 1859 the government decided to end permanent settlement on Schokland. The former municipality of Schokland was joined to Kampen on the mainland. Today Schokland is a popular archeological site. Schokland was the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands. Schokland has vestiges of human habitation going back to prehistoric times. It symbolizes the heroic, age-old struggle of the people of the Netherlands against the encroachment of the waters. According to Statistics Netherlands, there are five people living on the former island. Emmeloord was the northernmost village on the former Dutch island of Schokland. Above is the old port of Emmeloord today amid the farmland of the northeast. Meanwhile the lighthouse is rebuilt and placed on the former location of the port of the old Emmeloord. A replica of the Emmeloorder harbor light brought back to the original place where it has been before.
You can find dikes around grasslands of the former island Schokland. These dikes are in exactly the same place as in the Middle Ages, when farmers in this place in the peat grew their food. The farmers lived on their own huisterpje, which can be seen as counterfeit hill in the landscape. On some part of the dikes and mounds you can walk over trails. The wet grasslands becomes also for the nature of Schokland a welcome addition. Many species have found a new habitat.
In het hoogveen gebied waar nu de plaatsen Swifterbant en Schokland liggen woonden 8000 jaar geleden al mensen. Toen 500 jaar geleden de vernatting echt toesloeg was alleen het hoogste punt duidelijk zichtbaar en werd het eiland Schokland geboren. Schokland was een eiland in de Zuiderzee. In de Middeleeuwen was Schokland veel groter dan nu. In de vroegere tijd was de haven van het eiland Schokland een belangrijke vluchtplaats voor het drukke scheepvaartsverkeer op de Zuiderzee. Bij hevige storm en zware ijsgang vonden schepen hier een veilge ligplaats. Het eiland werd als gevolg van zware stormen steeds kleiner. Het lag niet erg hoog en had daarom regelmatig te maken met overstromingen. Het eiland werd hierom in 1859 op last van Willem III ontruimd. Slechts een paar inwoners bleven op het eiland wonen, om onder andere de vuurtoren te bedienen. De laatste bewoner was Jan Spit die hier van 1923 tot 1940 woonde. Zijn taak was zowel het in bedrijf houden van de haven als het bedienen van de havenlichten en vuurtoren. Zijn vrouw Jeltje dreef een klein winkeltje met kruidenierswaren. Zijn woning is hier boven nog te zien in Emmeloord. In 1942 is het eiland weer vaste land en ligt het, als een schip op het droge, midden tussen de boerderijen. De robuuste bewoners van Schokland zijn na de evacuatie in de nabijgelegen vissersdorpen Kampen, Vollenhove, Blokzijl en Urk terechtgekomen. Schokland staat ook symbool voor het Nederlandse leven met het water en staat sinds enkele jaren op de UNESCO werelderfgoed lijst. Door de graslanden rondom Schokland lopen dijkjes. Deze dijkjes liggen op precies dezelfde plek als in de middeleeuwen, toen boeren op deze plek in het veen hun voedsel verbouwden. De boeren woonden elk op een eigen huisterpje, die als nagemaakte ronde verhogingen in het landschap te zien zijn. Over een deel van de dijkjes en terpen lopen nu wandelpaden. De natte graslanden blijken ook voor de natuur van Schokland een welkome aanvulling. Veel diersoorten hebben er een nieuw leefgebied gevonden.

Mais uma foto tirada na manhã do ultimo sabado quando subi a trilha do Morro Dois Irmãos, esta foto foi tirada um pouco mais abaixo do topo e de onde foi tirada a foto anterior, como falei para alguma pessoas, esta trilha na minha opinão é um pouco mais pesada que a trilha da Pedra Bonita, ambos os caminhos para mim foram tranquilos, mas isto depende muito da disposição física de cada um, quem só anda de carro e não esta acostumado a fazer trilhas pode sentir dificuldades, mas eu acredito que mesmo essas pessoas podem subir com tranquilidade se forem no seu ritmo.
* Na primeira foto da sequencia, mostra o ponto onde foia minha primeira parada de 15 minutos de descanso, para ter uma ideia o senhor que aparece na foto devia ter cerca de 70 anos e me ultrapassou no meio da trilha, chegando la em cima na minha frente.
* A Segunda foto é a foto que publiquei antes da atual e já mostra o Cume do Morro Dois Irmãos.

Panorama view out of 5 single shots.
Directly north of Boppard, the Rhine takes its greatest bend. This bow is called the Bopparder Hamm. The best known lookout point over this bow in the Rhine is the Vierseenblick, or “Four-Lake View”. This vista gets its name from the way in which the Rhine can be seen from here, or rather the way in which it cannot be seen: hills block out most of the view of the river itself so that visitors can only see four apparently separate patches of water, rather like four lakes. These are all actually parts of the Rhine; there are no lakes to be seen. The Vierseenblick can be reached by chairlift.

Boppard lies on the upper Middle Rhine, often known as the Rhine Gorge. This characteristic narrow form of valley arose from downward erosion of the Rhine’s riverbed. Since 2002, the Gorge has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A 17 km stretch of the Rhine forms the town’s eastern limit. (Wikipedia)

The Three Sisters is Liechtenstein's most famous legend.
On the Feast of the Assumption (15 August), three sisters went up to Gafadura above the village of Planken to pick berries. As they walked along the path they heard the sounds of the church bells announcing the holy feast and calling worshippers to church. One of the sisters suggested they should also go to church, but the other two replied that the baskets had to be full of berries before they returned to the village.
Towards the end of the afternoon the baskets were full and the three sisters headed back home. On their way they met a beautiful woman who asked them for some berries. The sisters were reluctant to give her any and replied that people who want berries should pick them themselves. All of a sudden, a halo appeared around the head of the woman and she spoke to them, "You have dishonoured my holy day and refused my request. Your hearts are of stone. Therefore, as punishment, you shall be turned to stone and remain here forever." Upon saying that, the sisters were transformed into huge rocks, which from that day on became known as the Three Sisters.

DORDRECHT, CITY OF HISTORY, WATER AND CULTURE
Make historical footprints in the oldest city of that part of the Netherlands known as ‘Holland'. The historic inner city of Dordrecht lies concealed between mighty rivers. The 1000 monuments determine the face of a city which originated almost a thousand years ago.
ONTDEK HOLLANDS OUDSTE STAD
De historische binnenstad van Dordrecht ligt verscholen tussen machtige rivieren. Het mooiste begin van een ontdekkingstocht is het Groothoofd, waar de Oude Maas, Noord en Merwede samenvloeien. In de ruim 1000 monumenten die Dordrecht telt, is het rijke verleden goed terug te vinden, vooral in het historisch havengebied. De grootste groene trekpleister is het Nationaal Park De Biesbosch waarvan een groot deel ligt op Dordts grondgebied: de Hollandse Biesbosch.

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

" El embalse de Lindoso era una realidad sin retorno suscrita en 1968 por Franco y Salazar en un convenio internacional para el aprovechamiento de los ríos fronterizos .....anegó varios pueblos gallegos con una dolorosa expropiacion forzosa y a pesar de aportar España el 80% del suelo cubierto por el pantano, no recibieron ni perciben en la actualidad ingreso alguno. "
Embalsa las aguas de río Lima para los portugueses, en pleno Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês y río Limia para los gallegos, en el Parque Natural Baixa Limia-Serra do Xurés.
Ambos parques se unen para formar el primer parque transfronterizo europeo, con el nombre de Reserva de la Biosfera Transfronteriza Gerês-Xurés.
La obra comenzó en 1983 y se inaguró en 1992, convirtiendose la vieja Presa de Lindoso de 1921 en la Presa de Lindoso o Barragem do Alto-Lindoso, en mayor centro productor de energia hidroeléctrica de Portugal.
Se excavaron 1.200.000 m³ .......
El embalse es de titularidad portuguesa, pertenece a EDP (Energias de Portugal) uno de los principales operadores europeos en el sector de la energía y no está respetando los convenios de niveles, en aras de un aprovechamiento brutal del rendimiento......eso hace que las instalaciones de la parte española, se encuentren en estos momentos bajo mínimos a pesar del año increible de lluvias que hemos tenido.
*******************************************************************
Estas fotos son de la segunda vez que fuimos a Lindoso buscando otra ruta que tampoco encontré......y acabamos haciendo una ruta alternativa que ya subiré más adelante y visitando esta presa.
O bien Lindoso es complicado en sí o yo no estoy muy inspirada ultimamente :-) pero es una zona tan bonita, que volveremos cuando aflojen un poco los calores ......

This was shot over 3 or 4 nights during June-July. I only decided to make a mosaic after shooting the Lagoon and Trifid nebs and thinking it would be pretty awesome to show the whole area off as there is so much going on! Unfortunately, with the spur of the moment decision to take this on, i was left with no time to complete it before the Milky Way sank out of reach. I intended to make this a 15 panel mosaic but only managed 4! But i will be better prepared next year :)
This was a hard one to process. Its my first long exposure astro mosaic so i struggled with trying to make everything blend together seamlessly. Each panel being shot on a different night at different temperatures didn't help either. Especially one panel which i only managed 45 minutes on due to cloud ruining a lot of the frames. I had to stretch it first and then bring the rest of them up to the same point. If i had managed the same amount of exposure time on each one, i could of probably stretched a bit further!
Exposure Details:
3 panels contains 1 hour 20 minutes worth of 120 second exposures, the other 44 minutes worth, f3.2, ISO 800, calibration frames, 200mm

♫ Manhã, tão bonita manhã, na vida, uma nova canção
Cantando só teus olhos, teu riso, tuas mãos
Pois há de haver um dia, em que virás!!!
Das cordas do meu violão, que só teu amor procurou
Vem uma voz, falar dos beijos perdidos,nos lábios teus
Canta o meu coração, Alegria voltou
Tão feliz a manhã
Deste amor ♫
Deixo com vocês André Rieu com essa antiga e bela canção com o desejo para as Pessoas de Boa Vontade, uma semana ricamente abençoada, livre do mal, repleta de saúde, alegrias, paz e prosperidade.
