I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

Thinking about you...missing you...and looking forward to seeing you again. ❤️
"You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire
It's buried in my soul like California gold
You found the light in me that I couldn't find...
....When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us this way❤️
Lady Gaga - Always Remember Us This Way
...sang about New York,
that this city never sleeps,
this applies to Frankfurt as a whole and
Not at all. Frankfurt likes to sleep
and a lot. But if you kiss it awake,
then it's off.
You just have to know how. Frankfurt
you have to touch a thousand times until
it eventually zooms in.
The financial metropolis Frankfurt in the moonlight
thanks for looking...
Wenn Sinatra....
....über New York sang,
dass diese Stadt niemals schlafe,
so gilt das für Frankfurt ganz und
gar nicht. Frankfurt pennt gerne
und viel. Doch wenn man es wach küsst,
dann geht es ab.
Man muss halt wissen wie. Frankfurt
muss man tausendmal berühren, bis
es irgendwann 'Zoom' macht.
Die Finanzmetropole Frankfurt im Mondschein
danke fürs schauen....
We arrived here about 60 minutes before sunrise wanting to capture that time as the first light starts to appear in the sky. We wanted a lot of time to move around the fields and do different set ups for the shots. I found this area and sat here for about 15 minutes awaiting the breaking sun on the lavender. I really wasn't sure what kind of color I would get with a yellow sun and purple flowers, but I liked it more than I thought.
This is taken at the Lavender Valley Farms in the hills above Hood River.

About to enjoy a snack just before sunset. Taken near Fort Myers, Florida a few years ago.
We're now away for a week so might be a bit hit and miss on Flickr but will try to keep up.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

Newberry Volcano is a large active shield-shaped stratovolcano located about 20 miles (32 km) south of Bend, Oregon, United States, 35 miles (56 km) east of the major crest of the Cascade Range, within the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Its highest point is Paulina Peak. The largest volcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, Newberry has an area of 1,200 square miles (3,100 km2) when its lava flows are taken into account. From north to south, the volcano has a length of 75 miles (121 km), with a width of 27 miles (43 km) and a total volume of approximately 120 cubic miles (500 km3). It was named for the geologist and surgeon John Strong Newberry, who explored central Oregon for the Pacific Railroad Surveys in 1855. The surrounding area has been inhabited by Native American populations for more than 10,000 years.
Last week we got about 60cm of snow and today we got about 10-15cm of ice and sleet (which is like ten times worse than 1 meter of snow). So New England winter is in full swing and I am looking forward for summer 2022 and the day I am going to fly to Greece. Until that day though, I can think about that by looking at photos from last summer. This is the Bouza lighthouse in Aegina, one of my favorite places on the island. Errected in 1881, it's only 9meters tall but still one of the island's most famous landmarks. It sits at the island's westernost spot right next to the church of Saint Apostles. A beautiful place to relax and enjoy the sunset as the ferries pass by. It feels like the lighthouse is providing a shining path to them.
PS: I know I haven't been around much commenting and (most importantly) replying to comments on my photos, but at some point I will find the time to show my appreciation to your comments and faves!
Thievery Corporation - The Shining Path
an instance of one of our many pass road crossings during our round trip around Iceland. This pass road crosses one of the mountain ranges flanking Iceland's Westfjords and the compacted snow to the right gives an idea about the amount of snow coming down here and what struggle it must be to keep these roads usable during the long winter month!
Found in a junkyard, most of the body was gone. I was fascinated by the rust and strange textures that come with age and neglect. (Yes, I’m talking about the car!) It reminded me of a map, drawn over many years…
Saíra-sete-cores / Green-Headed Tanager is a bird of the Thraupidae family, quite common in southeastern Brazil, but can also be found in southeastern Paraguay and northeast of Argentina.
Its scientific name means: from (Tupi) Tangará = dancer; and (German) seledonkopf = Name given to this green bird by Statius Müller (1776), derived from the French Celladon = light green. ⇒ Light green dancer or seledon dancer.
It measures about 13.5 centimeters long and weighs about 18 grams.
The adult male features complex and shiny turquoise plumage, pale yellow-green, black, violet blue, orange yellow, turquoise, light green and green. The eyes are dark with a region around the eyes with black plumage.
The female has the plumage quite similar to the male's plumage, but it has the less intense color appearing to have the most erased colors.
It feeds on wild fruits, with apparent preference for small fruits and dark coloration. Eventually it is seen eating small insects and their larvae, such as caterpillars and termites. Being a general frugivore, it can also feed on exotic fruits in feeders, gardens or backyards of houses, such as bananas, papaya, orange, exotic palm fruits, wild lily, yellow magnolia, etc.
It is a monogamous bird that reaches sexual maturity at 12 months. It makes a bowl type nest, built by both adults with grass and leaves, and lined with soft materials. This nest is usually hidden in vegetation, between tree leaves, or on plants along the trunks and branches.
The time of reproduction of this species takes place between November and February in Brazil, between November and December, in Paraguay, and in November in northeastern Argentina.
The female lays 2 to 4 pale eggs, pink white with brown or gray spots. The incubation lasts from 15 to 17 days and is made by the female. The young man leaves the nest 14 to 18 days after the hatching of eggs. They still depend on parents for food for a few weeks after leaving the nest. Young people previously born can accompany adults for several months during the first year.
It can be found in all strata of the Atlantic Forest and in the low woods of the coast, where it is very frequent. This species can be seen to peers or in small groups, sometimes with up to 20 birds.

“When you are happy, you feel the sunshine even inside the fog; when you are unhappy, you feel the fog even in the sunshine.”

About 14,000 years ago, cataclysmic floods scoured out the Columbia River Gorge. Early visionaries engineered an inspired drive along its towering walls. As America’s first scenic highway and a National Historic Landmark, this 70-mile/113-kilometer route is indeed the “King of Roads.”
The Highway was left partially intact after Interstate 84 was built, with the middle section cut into pieces or partially destroyed. Efforts are underway to create vehicle-free paths for cyclists and pedestrians, transforming the abandoned sections into the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail.
In keeping with the beauty of it's surroundings, the Columbia River Highway builders made sure that the man-made structures along the road were equally beautiful. You'll see lovely stonework and concrete arches along your driving tour, the remains of the historic highway's original safety rails, turnouts, and bridges large and small.
Beauty is not about perfection 😀

The Steinhuder Meer in Lower Saxony is the largest lake in northwestern Germany with an area of 29.12 km² (that's 11.24 sq mi for the "imperialists"). It is a shallow lake with a maximum depth of 2.9 metres, formed after the recession of the glaciers of the Weichselian glaciation, about 14,000 years ago.

I talk about how we have social rules in place to protect us and how some people are social and others are not and we all have a different line you can't cross... I know, it sounds weird, but it's on the blog readmeri.wordpress.com/2020/02/27/dont-cross-the-line/
"Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared."
- Tupac Shakur, "The Rose the Grew from Concrete

For about 30 minutes I was treated to a fantastic ever changing scene of blue hour, crazy clouds and sunset. Seen at Rockahock Campground in Lenexa, Virginia

I fell by the wayside like everyone else
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, but I was just kidding myself
Our every moment, I start to replace
'Cause now that they're gone, all I hear are the words that I needed to say
When you hurt under the surface
Like troubled water running cold
Well, time can heal, but this won't
So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So, before you go
Was never the right time, whenever you called
Went little by little by little until there was nothing at all
Our every moment, I start to replay
But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face
When you hurt under the surface
Like troubled water running cold
Well, time can heal, but this won't
So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So, before you go
Would we be better off by now
If I'd have let my walls come down?
Maybe, I guess we'll never know
You know, you know
Before you go, was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So, before you go
About blackbird-sized and striking black-and-white. It has a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer. Its presence is often announced by its loud call or by its distinctive spring 'drumming' display. The male has a distinctive red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown. What they eat: Insects, seeds and nuts (Courtesy RSPB).
