apologies for the lack of communication but we lost our internet connection in a crazy thunderstorm last weekend and it's taken 10 days to get it back up. i am so relieved to be online again!
i processed this in lightroom, thank you to jacqui for pointing me in the right direction.
Been working on this for the past week or so. I’ve been wanting to make a boat for a while now. I tried a couple times in the past using a similar design for the hull, but I never finished any of em. Woke up a few days ago with some inspiration to finish one of these bad boys, so I did. Had a lot of fun takin da pics in da bath tub. I got a lot of pics I liked and I couldn’t decide so I just posted all of them. sorry

With the incoming tide, the yacht is back afloat again. The sun is just starting to penetrate the fog, but is still thick enough to hide much of the background. A 6 stop filter used to prolong the exposure enough to smooth the ripples on the water.
Yatch afloat in Arabian Sea near Goa. This yatch belongs to one of the most rich and famous person [Liquor baron] Mr. Vijay Mallya.
The day, i visited the "spaceship" the Danbos were bored and decided to come with me. So they climbed into my camera bag... I was wondering why its so heavy all the time but as i opened it, i saw the reason ;)
We watched the spaceship from the outside and were amazed.. then we saw the entrance and decided to go in there... it was great... all in white, relaxing in there and "float" with zero gravity in the futuristic space.. ;-)
Never saw the Danbos that relaxed but excited at the same time :-) We spent almost 2 hours in there i think.. it was a great day!
Greetings from the Danbos too!
Thank you all for your views, comments and faves!
As i arrived into the city at 6:30 in the morning, i was exiting the squirrel hill tunnels and then i saw nothing turning the corner. If you ever drive into the city from 376 west you know what i mean.
I did not see a view of the city until the sun burned some of the fog out of the picture!
This is a continuation of what I think are graceful but simple shapes that came out of my efforts to get some taller columns. As you go taller, the variability increases greatly. You get less predictable shapes so it's hard to know what you'll end up with.
Although this is above the surface of the water, the way the drops are suspended, it makes me think of bubbles floating to the surface from underneath.
I also posted a second version of this shot that's a bit more bronzy. Let me know what you think.
As always, thanks for viewing and comments are welcomed and appreciated.
On my raft, I float away from the destruction behind me. I see the smoke rising from D.C., and I know the world will never be the same.

Ludwigsburg is a city in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of Stuttgart city centre, near the river Neckar. It is the largest and primary city of the Ludwigsburg district with about 88,000 inhabitants. It is situated within the Stuttgart Region, and the district is part of the administrative region (Regierungsbezirk) of Stuttgart.

Ludwigsburg Palace (Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg), also known as the "Versailles of Swabia", is a 452-room palace complex of 18 buildings located in Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its total area, including the gardens, is 32 ha (79 acres)—the largest palatial estate in the country. The palace has four wings: the northern wing, the Alter Hauptbau, is the oldest and was used as a ducal residence; the east and west wings were used for court purposes and housing guests and courtiers; the southern wing, the Neuer Hauptbau, was built to house more court functions and was later used as a residence.
Eberhard Louis, Duke of Württemberg, appointed Philipp Joseph Jenisch to direct the work and construction began in 1704. In 1707, Jenisch was replaced with Johann Friedrich Nette, who completed the majority of the palace and surrounding gardens. Nette died in 1714, and Donato Giuseppe Frisoni finished much of the palace facades. In the final year of construction, Eberhard Louis died and the Neue Hauptbau's interiors were left incomplete. Charles Eugene's court architect, Philippe de La Guêpière, completed and refurbished parts of the New Hauptbau in the Rococo style, especially the palace theatre. Charles Eugene abandoned the palace for Stuttgart in 1775. Duke Frederick II, later King Frederick I, began using Ludwigsburg as his summer residence in the last years of Charles Eugene's reign. Frederick and his wife Charlotte, Princess Royal, resided at Ludwigsburg and employed Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret to renovate the palace in the Neoclassical style. Thouret converted much of Ludwigsburg's interiors over the reign of Frederick and later life of Charlotte. As a result of each architect's work, Ludwigsburg is a combination of Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, and Empire style architecture.
The constitutions of the Free People's State and Kingdom of Württemberg were ratified at Ludwigsburg Palace in 1919 and 1819, respectively. It was the residence for four of Württemberg's monarchs and some other members of the House of Württemberg and their families. The palace was opened to the public in 1918 and then survived World War II intact. It later underwent periods of restoration in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1990s and again for the palace's 300th anniversary in 2004. The palace had more than 350,000 visitors in 2017 and has hosted the Ludwigsburg Festival every year since 1947.
Surrounding the palace are the Blooming Baroque (Blühendes Barock) gardens, arranged in 1954 as they might have appeared in 1800. Nearby is Schloss Favorite, a hunting lodge built in 1717 by Frisoni. Within the palace are two museums operated by the Landesmuseum Württemberg dedicated to fashion and porcelain respectively.

The German city of Ludwigsburg hosts the largest pumpkin festival in the world, held annually from early September to November. Bringing in more than 400,000 pumpkins grown in southwest Germany, the city arranges them based on a theme that varies year by year. The festival includes more than 450 species of pumpkins, some of which are edible and others that are solely used for display purposes.
Themed Displays
The annual Ludwigsburg Pumpkin Festival has a different theme each year, with pumpkins stacked together to create shapes unique to a subject. In 2011, the pumpkin garden was transformed into a "Jurassic Park," with pumpkins arranged in the shape of dinosaurs. The 2010 festival was island-themed, featuring pumpkins arranged as an octopus, a mermaid, a lighthouse and other sea creatures. In 2012, the festival was Switzerland-themed, with pumpkins displayed to resemble the Swiss flag, livestock and the Alps. Thousands of pumpkins are stacked together to build each year's unique creations.
Food and Drink
The German festival offers an array of pumpkin-flavored dishes, including pumpkin soups, "maultaschen" (ravioli), risotto, strudel and spaghetti. Visitors can also order pumpkin-flavored sparkling wine. Previous festivals have offered various types of the gourd-like squash, including the "Blue Banana," the "Speckled Hound," the "Little Blue Hungarian" and the "Japanese Microwave Pumpkin," all of which can be used for cooking. For those interested in making their own dishes, the festival shop also sells pumpkin seed oil, marmalade, chutney, seeds and cookbooks.
Activities
The Ludwigsburg Pumpkin Festival features various autumn-themed activities. Using a spoon and a carving instrument, visitors can choose to carve their own pumpkins or watch sculptors transform them into artwork. On Saturdays, you can listen to live music while drinking pumpkin-flavored sparkling wine. Families with kids can let their children roll around in the "playground," a large pen filled with hay. Past festivals have hosted costume contests and pumpkin-carving competitions during the week of Halloween.
Annual Events
On one day each fall, the festival includes a race featuring canoeists paddling across a lake using boats made from hollowed-out pumpkins. The annual race takes place on the lake across from Ludwigsburg Castle. With the pumpkins frequently weighing more than 200 pounds, they are difficult to keep afloat. Ludwigsburg also features an annual competition to find Europe's heaviest pumpkin. On the last day of the festival, which marks the end of the season, the winning pumpkin is smashed after being on display for weeks.
