Commonly known as moth orchids, is a genus of about seventy species of orchids in the family orchid. Orchids in this genus are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes with long, coarse roots, short, leafy stems and long-lasting, flat flowers arranged in a flowering stem that often branches near the end. Orchids in this genus are native to India, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia with the majority in Indonesia and the Philippines. A few to many, small to large, long-lasting, flat, often fragrant flowers are arranged on erect to hanging racemes or panicles. The sepals and petals are free from and spread widely apart from each other. The lateral sepals are usually larger than the dorsal sepal and the petals much wider than the sepals. The labellum is joined stiffly to the column and has three lobes. The side lobes are erect and more or less parallel to each other and the middle lobe sometimes has a pair of appendages or antennae. 21908

As typical on anticyclonic winter days, the valleys and plains of neighboring Carinthia alpine region are covered by dense low clouds (Stratus) accumulated by a weak north-east current.
Due to the light flow these stratus clouds enter the valleys arranged from N/E towards S/W and press on the mountain passes; these masses are cold and humid, therefore "heavy", as if representing a vast mass of water, they cannot climb steep mountain slopes, while they seek an easy transfer through the lower areas of a mountain range or at the junction between 2 different ranges.
For this reason the Alpine passes and saddles, where the air masses from different areas cross and converge, are decidedly interesting from a meteorological and microlimatic point of view.
Among other things, the cloudy/foggy mass has waves, always referring to the water which well represents the movements of dense and heavy air, which at times cover the area, leaving the ice crystals that make up these clouds on all surfaces, for then withdraw and let the phenomenon be appreciated.

Crazy Tuesday theme Knolling
I'm not sure if I've got it right but hopefully this falls into the catergory of knolling - the stems are, afterall, in parallel to each other. Arranging the dry flowers and deceased insects and trying not to get shadows in the image has certainly driven me crazy! At least I can bin all the old flowers now. Happy Crazy Tuesday 😄
Physocarpus, commonly called ninebark, a genus of flowering plants in the family Rosaceae.
Physocarpus are deciduous shrubs with alternately arranged leaves. The leaves are palmate with 3 to 7 lobes and often toothed edges. The inflorescence is a cluster of bell-shaped flowers with 5 rounded white or pink petals and many stamens. The fruit is a flat or inflated dehiscent follicle. The genus name Physocarpus comes from the Greek for "bladder fruit", referring to the inflated fruits of some species. The common name ninebark refers to the peeling bark of mature branches, which comes away in strips.
Physocarpus opulifolius is cultivated as an ornamental plant.
"The line_up is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The“liners” are made out of paper (Din A3),
oil paint and graphite, the theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers."

The last of my Pink Roses. I was arranging them with a little help. They have such a great scent to them, George couldn't resist smelling them.
arrange and exclude, before exposure, but not afterwards… Your photography is a record of your living, for any one who really sees :-)

The Aqua Luna, known in Cantonese as the Cheung Po Tsai (張保仔), is a Chinese Junk operating in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong. It was launched in 2006, and while it is named the Aqua Luna in English, in Cantonese it is named after the 19th-century Chinese pirate Cheung Po Tsai.
The Aqua Luna was built from scratch; it took a Hong Kong craftsman 18 months to construct using traditional shipbuilding methods under the supervision of a 73-year-old shipbuilder. It is owned by the Aqua Restaurant Group, and was launched in 2006 with a party on top of a building at Pier Four, in Hong Kong. It has two decks which offer 1,500 square feet (140 m2) with an upper deck cabin with sofas and a lower deck saloon. The ship can accommodate 80 passengers in addition to the crew. It is 28 metres (92 ft) long, and has three crimson sails arranged in a junk rig style. However, the sails are purely decorative, and the barge is motorised. It costs up to HK$80,000 to rent.
Olhão is a small town in the Algarve less than 10km from Faro, the main town in the region. The town has a significant tourist interest today but previously fishing was its main activity. Many fishermen provide fish to the famous covered market in Olhão today.
What makes a visit and a walk in Olhão interesting is its architecture. The old fishermen's district is made up of small white houses with cubic shapes. As most houses do not have gardens, terraces are arranged on the roofs and the alleys flowered by the inhabitants. Google
PS With its cubist lines and white-washed walls, the houses of Olhão are a sign of its people’s commercial and emigrational links with Morocco.
After my brother passed away two months ago, there were so many drugs. It boggles the mind how many there were.

Not the way I would have liked the power to be arranged if it had to have the Alsthom painted Wellsboro & Corning 6059 in the group. But here it is leading B&P's SIRI past the American Refining Group's Foster Brook Plant in Bradford, PA. American Refining Group's Bradford plant is the oldest continuously operated refinery in the US having started operation in 1881, and also one of the smallest. It refines almost entirely Ohio and Pennsylvania crude including crude that comes in by rail from the Sandyville branch of the Wheeling (formerly the Mineral City B&O line). It was facing tough times in the late 90's when the current owner bought it for $1. That has worked out pretty well as they've added more fuel product capacity to what was historically a lube oil plant.
What an amazing spray of delightful tiny five-petaled flowers! With long sweeping filaments that glisten in the morning sunlight! A floral pagoda indeed!
An erect, open semiwoody shrub with large evergreen leaves and huge showy clusters of orange-red or scarlet flowers held above the foliage. The bush sometimes has multiple stems and gets to be 3-5 ft tall and 2-3 ft across. The handsome, tropical leaves can be as large as 12 in across, they have heart shaped bases; lower leaves are lobed and upper leaves entire. They are arranged in opposite pairs along the fast growing stems which often branch from the roots rather than from a single trunk.
The flowers are funnel shaped with long tubes. The flowers within the pyramid-shaped cluster are tiered like a Japanese pagoda. The showy display lasts from summer through autumn with sporadic flowering throughout the year in frost free climates.

The Arecaceae are a botanical family of perennial plants. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are colloquially called palm trees. They are flowering plants, a family in the monocot order Arecales. Currently 181 genera with around 2600 species are known, most of them restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts.
Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping, making them one of the most economically important plants. In many historical cultures, because of their importance as food, palms were symbols for such ideas as victory, peace, and fertility. For inhabitants of cooler climates today, palms symbolize the tropics and vacations. Most palms are native to tropical and subtropical climates. Palms thrive in moist and hot climates but can be found in a variety of different habitats. Their diversity is highest in wet, lowland forests. South America, the Caribbean, and areas of the south Pacific and southern Asia are regions of concentration. Colombia may have the highest number of palm species in one country. 36744

Knolling: a process of arranging similar objects in parallel or at 90 degree angles as a method of organisation.
Knolling is the theme for this week's Macro Mondays. I used Sapphire Grapes I bought at the farmers market. And a flower for contrast. Happy Macro Monday/ HMM
I was arranging the leaves to make a nice composition, and when I made a photo, accidentally there was an ant on the leaf.
Take a look at the central leaf where the ant is running through - its size is comparable to ant!
Do you see the two lighter pine trunks arranged in a V shape on the left side of the picture?
In a perfect world (for the photographer), the setting sun would now be visible in the middle of this V. But since nature is flawless and not perfect, a thick, dark cloud blocks the view at this point.
And even though I knelt behind my camera for at least 20 minutes, staring into this V, it felt like this cloud didn't move a meter. This meant that the sun didn't have a chance to show itself again that evening on Hrubá Skála.
And so we now have the great advantage of nothing (well, almost nothing, because the clouds already look quite impressive) distracting us from this interesting tangle of roots, pine needles, and cones, which I was already thrilled about when I stepped over them.
In the end, what's meant to happen always happens. And not just in the world of photography.
Seht Ihr die beiden helleren V-förmig angeordneten Kiefernstämme auf der linken Seite des Bildes ?
In einer (für den Fotografen) perfekten Welt würde in diesem V jetzt die untergehende Sonne zu sehen sein. Doch da die Natur vollkommen ist und eben nicht perfekt, versperrt eine dicke und dunkle Wolke an dieser Stelle den Blick.
Und obwohl ich für mindestens zwanzig Minuten hinter meiner Kamera gekniet und in dieses V gestarrt habe, hat sich diese Wolke gefühlt keinen Meter bewegt. Damit hatte die Sonne an diesem Abend auf Hrubá Skála keine Chance sich noch einmal zu zeigen.
Und so haben wir jetzt den großen Vorteil das uns nichts (naja fast nichts, denn die Wolken sehen ja schon recht imposant aus) von diesem interessanten Gewirr aus Wurzeln, Kiefernnadeln und -zapfen ablenkt, von dem ich schon begeistert war, als ich darüber gestiegen bin.
Am Ende passiert eben immer das, was passieren soll. Und das nicht nur in der Welt der Fotografie.

Starting from the second half of the 17 th century Sedniv was the place where large landowners the Lyzogubs arranged their main manor. The members of this glorious Ukrainian Cossack family played a significant role in the history and culture of Ukraine.
In 1687 Hetman Ivan Mazepa, designated Jacob Lyzogub the Chernigov colonel. In 1689 Mazepa endowed him richly with lands near Chernigov, including Sednev for his participation in the Crimean campaign. Son of Jacob Lyzogub, Efim was the Chernihiv colonel as well. In 1690 he began the construction of ancestral estate in Sedniv. On the right high bank of the Snov river he managed to lay a large park, build wooden residential buildings, stone building and the Resurrection church as the family burial vault.
The following generations of the Lyzogubs were all the militaries. In the first half of the 19th century one of five brothers Lyzogubs Andrei Ivanovich (1804-1864) retired and settled for good in Sedniv at the age of twenty-five years. He was joined by his brother, Ilya Ivanovich (1787-1867) – a retired colonel, a participant of the war with Napoleon and Alexander Ivanovich (1790-1839) – major general. The old building proved to be rather small. The estate was expanded along the mountain over again. The brothers turned the family homestead in the picturesque architectural ensemble. They attached a tower in a pseudogothic style to the old Cossack stone building and on the flank of the hill above the Snov river there was placed a gazebo.
To unite old and new territories of the estate the old rampart of the ancient settlement of Snov was cut through and a small bridge was spanned over the moat.
Park of the new estate acquired the romantic features according to the fashion trends of that time. Scenic views and the rampart proved very handy. In the end of the rampart that is on a steep slope at the river, a typical for romantic parks mysterious grotto with an entrance was embedded right in the ground. It was once decorated with local river mussels like the “sea bed” . Circular hole was in the ceiling, and a small window that overlooked the Snov river. By efforts of Ilya Ivanovich there were installed fountains in the park. One of them, called “Getman”, spurted higher than the famous “Samson” in Peterhof.
In the mid of th 19th century in the middle of the park there was built an U-shaped the Lyzogubs’ large house in the style of late classicism in place of the old wooden one.
The manor house is a one-storey building that bears typical features of eclectic architecture. It has two projection in the facade on both sides and a semicircular oriel in the center of the fasade that is turned to the river and fine detail decoration. House is placed parallelly to the slope.
All the buildings in the estate seemed to stress the attractiveness of the landscapes that was greatly admired by the owners: the tower over the entrance to Cossack stone building, the grotto, the oriel and white-column rotunda are oriented to the east overlooking the river.
Unfortunately, the park is now neglected. The slopes are so overgrown that one can hardly see the scenery across the river. There are age-old chestnuts, oaks, maples, which remember many guests of the Lyzogubs.
And among them were artists L. Zhemchuzhnikov and A. Slastion, writers L. Glebov and B. Grinchenko. There is still a lime tree in the park in the shade of which Taras Shevchenko liked to have a rest during his visits to Sedniv.
The Lizogubs themselves were rather talented human beings. Thus Alexander Lyzogub is known as the Ukrainian composer, one of the founders of Ukrainian piano music. He was the author of nocturnes, mazurkas, ballads, and variations on the theme of Ukrainian folk songs.
Ilya Ivanovich was keen on music as well. Mykola Markevych characterized him as: “A wonderful musician, a pianist, cellist, singer and composer, a good painter, a person keen on hydraulics. He decorates Sedniv with parks and fountains and lives quietly, modestly, but as an aristocrat.” The younger brother of Andrei Ivanovich was fond of painting and painted a few icons for the iconostasis of the Resurrection church.
In November 2009 President of Ukraine issued the decree to establish State Historical and National Preserve “The Lyzogubs’ Estate” in Sedniv.
Ice is water frozen into the solid state. It can appear transparent or opaque bluish-white color, depending on the presence of impurities or air inclusions. The addition of other materials such as soil may further alter the appearance.
Ice appears in nature in forms of snowflakes, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, pack ice, frost, and entire polar ice caps. It is an important component of the global climate, and plays an important role in the water cycle. Furthermore, ice has numerous cultural applications, from ice cooling of drinks to winter sports and the art of ice sculpting.
The molecules in solid ice may be arranged in different ways, called phases, depending on the temperature and pressure. Usually ice is the phase known as ice Ih, which is the most abundant of the varying solid phases on the Earth's surface. The most common phase transition to ice Ih occurs when liquid water is cooled below 0°C (273.15K, 32°F) at standard atmospheric pressure. It can also deposit from vapour with no intervening liquid phase, such as in the formation of frost.
