Actually ‘just’ the washing facilities in a guest toilet: the water flows vertically from above over the indirectly lit Carrara marble (Arabescato). The water used for hand washing is collected and drained away in the lower, protruding and in the back mirrored part of the sculpture. The wall mirror on the left emits inductive heat.

Interni creativi: Händewaschen
Eigentlich 'nur' die Waschgelegenheit in einer Gästetoilette: Das Wasser fließt von oben senkrecht über den indirekt beleuchteten Carraramarmor (Arabescato). Das für die Handwäsche benutzte herabfließende Wasser wird im unteren, vorgezogenen und hinten verspiegelten Teil der Skulptur aufgefangen und abgeleitet. Der Wandspiegel links gibt induktive Wärme ab.

I actually did this digital painting a few weeks ago, but it seemed to sum up the spirit of the Challenge so well that I reworked it!
When we first adopted Amber, she had 'issues' with younger children - ie anybody younger than about 15! Being a rescue we had no idea why, and, although we were sure she was in no way aggressive, we had to be careful, especially in the house with our youngest daughter. Every walk, if we even passed kids on the other side of the street Amber would bark! Nowadays though she has no issues at all and happily greets anybody, large or small! In fact, if anything, she seems more protective and watchful over very young children!
I was so pleased when I managed to get this picture of my youngest daughter with Amber. My daughter thought Amber would never love her when we first got her so to see them so comfortable together now is just lovely!! This is what it's all about!
Digitally painted, textured, non-destructive dodging and burning and a few adjustment layers!
TFL!

Actually both birds perched at different timing but at the same perch shot with same focal length and aperture and tripod position. Merged both shots into one. :)
Actually, the bald eagle had just taken a bath in his pool at the Beardsley Zoo, Bridgeport, Connecticut.
This takes place in the future when Dona actually is Wonder Woman. You know what, it also follows my other Atom issue. So go check that out.

Hey. Hey. Ray. Hey. Hey.
Seinfeld? What do you want?
Did you uh... want me to narrate this?
NO! Get out of her Seinfeld, god.... go do your stupid coffee show.
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, on Crackle NOW!
Are you promoting one of your shows on my issue?
Yeah man.
I'll tell you when I'm done.
-------------
It was 6;34 in the morning. Ray and Dona were getting ready to go out on the streets and look for crime.
"Ow... OW." Ray said.
"What did you do?" Donna asked.
"Well, let's just say my pants bit the tick tack."
"Your zipper....."
"Yes! Yep, that's what happened!"
Embarrassed Ray went to the bathroom. While doing that, Donna got dressed. When Ray came out he was disappointed.
"Man, I wanted to see you hopping around trying to get in the tight jump suit!"
She laughed.
"Sorry, you were too late. You can watch me put my wrist gauntlets on?"
"Nah, that's OK. I was only joking.... although it would be nice. Seeing the bre...."
"Ray."
"Yup, TMI."
"Are you ready yet?"
"Yeah I'm just getting my helmet on."
"And you're not talking with the voice?"
Ray turned around.
"Nope, haven't heard from him since.... Uh a few days."
"You know your apartment is nice downstairs, but then when you get up here...."
"Yeah, I uh... don't get a lot of company up here."
"Oh no?"
"Nah... not since you came around."
She smiled and kissed him.
"Hey maybe you could move in with me?"
"You? With Sara? I don't think she likes me..."
"I didn't at first."
"Gee, thanks for letting me know."
They walked down the steps, and out of the house.
"Did you lock the door?" Donna asked.
"Of course I.... didn't."
She gave him a face.
"Alright, I'm going, I'm going."
He locked the door.
"Alright, I'll see you tonight OK?" she told him.
"Yeah, tonight."
They kissed, and he watched as she left.
--------------------
It was 10:45pm. And date night. Even though yesterday was date night. And the night before. Yeah, they really liked date night.
"So.... what should we do tonight?" Ray asked.
"Well, I figure we go out, see a movie, get something to eat, go back to my place..." Donna replied.
"Wait... your place?"
"Sara's not home."
"Oh... OK. But this isn't a regular thing is it?"
"Well... your upstairs scares me."
"You're a superhero."
She laughed.
"So?"
"So, you can't be afraid."
"You're afraid of everything!"
"Yeah well... I'm the one exception."
They stared into one another's eyes for a long time. No really, a long time, I've been sitting here for like 20 minutes trying to narrate this.
"Wanna go see that movie now?" Ray asked.
"Sure!"
------------------
The next few days went by so fast, that Ray couldn't believe they went by. Spending time with Donna just made everything... better. But Dona had got a call from some guy, and she had to go meet him, and it was business, and Ray couldn't go. They would call him eventually.
He spent the day alone however, which was different. Even though for most of the day Donna and him were apart, it never felt lonely. He wasn't used to this and didn't like it. But now he could be himself. The regular old Atom.
Yo Seinfeld!
What do you want?
I'm bored.
I know, I wrote it.
Well... give me some action.
Your wish is my command.
Five big, bulky men crashed through Ray's window. They started to take his stuff, but Ray wouldn't let them.
"Hey, Hulk Hogan, gimme back my TV!"
Ray went small, and jumped at the man. The man's eyes bulged out of his head, wondering where Ray had gone. But Ray was right under his nose. Literally. He punched the nose so hard, that "Hulk Hogan" went flying into the other four men. They all hit the ground hard. Ray went back to normal size.
"Another job well done."
I was born in a house in a town just like your own
I was raised to believe in the power of the unknown
'Cause when the answers and the Truth take different sides
Will you still find me
Will you still see me
Through smoke
so maybe after I'm done with all of this work I can actually start a real 52 weeks.
or just take more photos in general.
yeah, we all have dreams..
I actually don't quite remember where this waterfalls is. I am pretty sure I shot this hand held as I was in a hurry with the local tour. I was shooting under a constant blast of the mist from the waterfalls as the wind was blowing toward me. It 's quite common to experience a sudden gusty wind in Iceland at any place. In any case, I had to use a lens coat to protect my camera and lens from the elements, eventhough they were weather resistance. Nonetheless, my Sony rig had been to rain and snow. So I had at least some confidence that it would survive my trip to Iceland. Not all lenses are weather sealed. So you need to check if there is a rubber gasket on their lens mount. For extra protection, I have a nylon lens coat covering my rig and it works perfectly. It 's simply just a sleave with open ends. You can even use a plastic bag to protect your gear. I actually did it that way when I went to Alaska.
As for my A7Rii and 24-105G lens used for this shot, they have been holding up quite well under adverse weather conditions. Under those circumstances, I could have brought my Canon DSLR and L glass. But they are just too damn heavy. I brought 4 lenses to this trip: a Tokina 20mm F2, Sony 24-105G, Zeiss 55mm F1.8, and Samyang 35mm F2.8. They all fit into my Amazon Basic sling bag. I tucked the whole sling bag into a Shimoda Designs Explore 40 backpack when I was traveling to catch my flight. My Gitzo GT0545T can be strapped to the side of either of my bag mentioned. Once I settle down at the hotel, I would just take out the Amazon sling bag from the Shimoda for my walkaround in town. And let me tell you. This small Gitzo carbon fiber tripod is among the best, if not the best, for international travel. It can be folded to less than 15" in length and is extremely light and sturdy. In fact, it 's now on sale at BHPhoto. Also it 's made in Italy and comes with a nice ball metal head that is comparable to the more expensive Really Right Stuff BH series. It 's a steal at that price.

Actually I don't mind ironing at all as Elaine. I spent this session listening to Sounds of the 60s. So many of those songs take me back to my childhood.

Although known officially as Jardín de Aclimatación de la Orotava, or "JAO", this installation is actually in Puerto de La Cruz (there is a smaller one actually in La Orotava).
Actually what I really love, I heart that touch up "Wrinkle Release" tool!

This is actually Yellowstone River, but we decided to name it Wolf Creek...
Not really inclined to up the exposure settings, cos it was still pretty dark when I shot this frame... Kinda like the dark tones..
Imagine standing at the banks of this river trying to capture a beautiful sunrise, and all of a sudden, a haunting series of wolf howls filled the air. For an instant, we were transfixed and mesmerized. Though we did not see any, it was enough to cause goosebumps... It was simply surreal.
Actually a several years old snapshot updated with iphone
High Key effort with floral background double exp for added softness to Snapseed for several vignettes.
Actually, the entire railroad was relaxing today when I went to visit. The Chesapeake & Indiana is one neat operation, if only I could see it operate. Every time i explore the CKIN, nothing is moving, which is getting frustrating. I know the railroad looks to be doing well, so it must be my bad luck. i was fortunate enough to find the 818 and 813 just south of the elevator in Wellsboro. Both were originally part of the DM&IR, one a SD18 and the other a SD9. They were chop-nosed, rebuilt and called SDM's. Neither one has been repainted yet in the classic Southern scheme. As much as I like that one, I hope the 818 stays in orange.
Each year, when Passover approaches, I return to the place.
Some of the kids you see in this photo, can be seen in my photos from past years.
I feel almost like their uncle that comes to a visit every year :-)
Happy Blue Monday! Actually, this was Saturday on Lac Saint-Louis. ;D
I rode La Betty along the riverbank on my usual route from Verdun to Dorval.... and just had to stop, of course, to take some photos along the way.
This is one of the sparkling water and sailboats that were out on Lac Saint-Louis on this absolutely perfect summer day... in September!
Come out to see with me ;D (I think you'll find it fab, big on black!)
From Wiki:
Lac Saint-Louis is a lake in extreme southwestern Quebec, Canada, adjoining the Island of Montreal at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers. One can actually see a line in the middle of the lake where the two different-coloured waters meet.
Photo details: Canon crappo 75 - 300 mm tele kit lens (I so want a 70-200 mm !!!)
Shot somewhat into the sun (to the right and fairly overhead) -- to get the bright blue and those flares! =D No real pp here, just brightened it a bit and tweaked the blue in Lightroom.
The Catedral de Toledo is actually one of the largest Cathedrals in Spain, just behind the massive Cathedral of Seville and one of the 10 largest in Europe. The exterior architecture is beautiful, but the inside is truly awe inspiring.

Actually it was also a rainy day for the picture of the bridge right next to this one; but this one showed the wet road and planks more obviously.
The scene at the far end of this bridge shows a paint horse grazing. He is tiny in my photo, but I like paint horses, and I think it is cute that he is in the picture.
Population of nearby Dexter, Lane County, Oregon USA was 2,373
Parvin is one of the oldest covered bridges in Lane County, Oregon USA

Actually, these men are co-officiants checking out the venue for a wedding within the next hour beside the lake at the Peaks of Otter, mile 85.5. ©2024 | John M. Hudson
actually captured in summer i thought it fits bette in this season :) so i played around in lightroom. anyway a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you out there!
Actually it was hot chocolate. Taken using my macro lens whilst waiting for a flight from Astana airport in Kazakhstan. Somethings do travel well.
The elusive Least Bittern, very difficult to get clear shots of . This guy was actually not in the clear when I took this shot. I was squatting down in the marsh at Conneaut with waders on shooting in between marsh grasses. Ironically I had gone up there for shorebirds that day and came home with those and this unexpected guy. This is pretty much a full frame shot minus vertical cropping for composition.

Actually, one of the columns is hidden behind the second from the right. The tourist in the picture became my 7th. This is a tourist attraction 25 minutes away from Las Vegas that draw a lot of selfie seekers. It was 118F (47.7 C) outside when I snapped this image.
Actually this picture, his photographic technique (DOF) and its title is a play on words, a set of acronyms, some kind of "pun". A pun (or paronomasia) is a phrase that deliberately exploits confusion between similar words for rhetorical effect, to make reader think, whether humorous or serious.
The term DOF (Depth of Field) describes the range in a photograph, from near to far, that appears to be in focus. Everyone knows that the more a lens is stopped down, the more depth of field there will be, (true). Most people also believe that wide angle lenses have more depth of field than telephoto lenses (false).
DOF: The area in an image from front to back that is in focus. The smaller the aperture (the larger the f-stop number), the more objects are in focus both near and distant. The wider the aperture (the smaller the f-stop number), elements in front of and behind the object in focus appear soft or blurry.
There is a DoF Group in Flickr: www.flickr.com/groups/dof/
Actually, you can tell from the headcode that this is a 'stopper' but '9F' No 92214, now in unlined black livery, is going well as she passes Swithland Sidings, seen from the footplate of 'Standard 2' No 78018 waiting in the Down loop with the minerals train.
Just seconds later, visiting SR Class S15 No 506 passed with an Up train, and opposite us in the Up loop was 'Derby Lightweight' single-car DMU No M79900.
All action at Swith during the Great Central Railway winter gala.
Two of my friends are in the process of restoring their ancestral family home far up in the Kii Mountains. There used to be seven houses in the village, but all the others have fallen into ruin over the last few decades. This is the view across the valley.
I actually have some time to play with photos today that aren't of client sessions, so I've looked back through a few months worth....aackkk! SO many photos I haven't done anything with....or even looked at since uploading.
Took a whole bunch of shots of my anemones, and this one I added the Florabella texture "Attache" on 2 layers with different blending modes.
I kinda like this tall guy!
Newborn session tomorrow, so will check out streams tonight!
Actually, these California Poppies are in my personal front-yard poppy field. I just came home this morning after an early birdie walk (thus the long focal length and high ISO), and these were open but still in the shade. I love this light. If you didn't know, poppies wrap up tight in the late afternoon and open again around mid-morning. Pretty smart, huh.
The weather is getting hot and dry now, so they may continue to last for awhile but the freshness is already wearing down.
Actually, this was Stormy Stars, but I changed it to Mystic Stars and now Sparkling Stars:) Pictures and comments are in Pieceing 2012 Set 1. I had planned to put on a border in the dark gray floral focus fabric, but I felt that really took away from the design. I'm even going to make the binding in black to retain the look of radiating out from the center. I see that I've cut off some of the star points in the picture - but, more importantly, not in the quilt top :)
actually, this is not a green poppy, but what was left after petals fell on the ground. it still looks interesting to my eyes.
Actually this is the 475-111 from the Iron Monument Club from Pilsen. But during the last revision the smoke deflectores were removed and the locomotive became the new number 475-105. The 475-105 was the only locomotive without smoke deflectores, running like this a few month in the 50ties.Soon it will be renumbered back to 475-111 and get their old smoke deflectores back.

Actually now it is just "No Gas".
One of the old buildings in what used to be the Canadian Forces Base in Winnipeg known as the Kapyong Barracks. The base closed in 2004 but there have been court challenges as to who the land should go to and what it should be used for. So the buildings and land remain with no purpose.
