...of the impressive and world-famous Cologne Cathedral. The gothic shapes and lines are breathtaking and leave every observer in awe!
Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and was not completed until 1880.
It is considered a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and, at 157.4 metres, is one of the tallest sacred buildings in the world.
thats a nice looking lake but sometimes i could go crazy coz most of its beach lines are private ground so nobody can realy get closer or go into the water only can see it from behind of kilometers of fences
HFF out there!

There's a few of mine and quite a few of Westographer's (www.flickr.com/photos/70980743@N03) in this book. Here is a link to preview: www.theworldwidepublishingempire.com/product/behind-the-w...
This was taken at Nafplio. A shaky one, with major flows, not really something special, right? Well, lets see... At first I thought I should just delete it, but something kept me from doing so. The more I was looking at it, the more I liked it. It kind of grew in me! I realized after some time, that it would speak to me. Somehow it would resonate with me. In the end I decided that not only I would not get rid of it, but I would share it here with you all, so you could see for yourselves. Technically it can be faulted mainly as a shaken photo but as an overall feeling, I just think it can stand its ground! Despite its faults, it has dynamic and a multi layered story to tell! An obvious one and a not so obvious. Or maybe two! Let me explain and elaborate on that last bit, sharing some rough thoughts and giving you some hints and ideas maybe.
It's funny sometimes how life plays games. While out and about for a good photo, searching for a whole day, one can realize the good photo can be right behind his back! And that applies not only to photography, but to everyday life and people as well! The second and most important though, would be that we need to learn to embrace the mistakes we make! Embrace and ultimately own them, so that we can move our photography forward, based on what we learn from all that. A way to accept what is, in order to shape what will be. And maybe, just maybe, sometimes, in what we thought as a mistake, lies a story and a lesson to a better photography and perhaps a better life as well. A different view which leads to a different perspective. A whole new way of thinking and seeing things! But this can be true, only if you can bring yourself to the point to feel it that way...
Now all that from an otherwise shaken photo... not bad! Not bad at all! See now why it grew in me this one?! Now I bet you all have some shots of this kind. The shaky, not so good ones, some that you thought you should delete them. Well... maybe you should not. Maybe you should take another look at them and who knows? You might even reconsider! And while I'm off to work, I'll leave you with one of the questions I like to ask myself a lot, almost daily. One that I've already asked you in the past too and most probably I'll keep on asking in the future as well, for I believe it'll always be current and relevant. One that always helped me in the past and hopefully it will help you too.
So tell me... You look, but do you see...?!
PS. I would like to take one more moment of your precious time to mention the origins of this post, which came to be after I read some blog posts of one of my Flickr friends', Mr Christian Robold
He is a very creative individual, whose photos and experimentation I enjoy, while he is on a journey of his own, discovering his photography, just as much as I love reading about his photographic adventures in his blog posts, where he touches some matters that most of us have or will find ourselves into and which you can find here:

I'd urge you to pay him a visit. I believe you'll find a lot in there to enjoy and be inspired from!!! :-)
Day 20 of 20 of albums that influenced my musical tastes.
Behind the Sun - Chicane
Usually, we hear music in the operating room during surgery. It has been proved that music at the optimal volume can enhance performance during surgery.
When I was a resident (early 2000) I remember that I listened for the first time the chill-out music subgenre. It was so cool. One day I was listening to a Ministry of Sound chill out compilation and a particular song stood out, it was No Ordinary Morning by an until then unknown artist, Chicane. I love the mood, the rhythm, the music. After that, I looked up for his music, and I wasn't disappointed, Their first two albums were amazing, a combination of electronic beats, combined with ambient and trance, some with beautiful voices. I recommend you that you listen some of his music.

Molen "De Ster", Geesteren
De Ster is een korenmolen in Geesteren in de Nederlandse provincie Gelderland.
De molen werd oorspronkelijk in 1859 gebouwd. In 1866, 1900 en 1902 is de houten bovenbouw afgebrand. Alle drie de keren verrees er een nieuwe houten achtkant op de stenen onderbouw uit 1859. Tot 1966 bleef de molen in bedrijf. Ondanks dat de molen in 1959 nog geheel bedrijfsvaardig was gerestaureerd, werd het binnenwerk in '66 geheel uit de molen gesloopt om plaats te maken voor silo's. Ruim tien jaar later echter kocht de toenmalige gemeente Borculo de molen aan waarna de molen in 1979 en 1980 weer geheel maalvaardig werd gerestaureerd.
Thans is de molen eigendom van de gemeente Berkelland. Een vrijwillig molenaar maalt wekelijks op windkracht veevoer met de molen. De roeden zijn 23,20 meter lang en zijn vanaf 1980 voorzien van het Oudhollands hekwerk met zeilen. In 1959 werd de zelfzwichting, die maar op een roede zat, op een binnenroede vervangen door het Ten Have-systeem en een Van Busselneus en op de buitenroede door Oudhollands.
De molen heeft voor het op de wind zetten een neutenkruiwerk en kan gekruid worden met een kruiwiel en een elektromotor.
De molen wordt gevangen, stilgezet, met een vlaamse vang, die bediend wordt met een wipstok.
De molen is ingericht met één koppel 16der (140 cm doorsnede) kunststenen, dat voorzien is van een balanceerrijn. Ook heeft de molen een buil die aangedreven wordt via de bolspil van het maalkoppel.
Voor het luien en afschieten is er een sleep luiwerk.
Sinds 2010 is het mogelijk om te trouwen in molen De Ster. Op 28 mei 2010 werd het eerste stel hier in de echt verbonden.

De Ster is a corn mill in Geesteren in the Dutch province of Gelderland.
The mill was originally built in 1859. In 1866, 1900 and 1902 the wooden superstructure burned down. All three times a new wooden octagon was built on the stone substructure from 1859. The mill remained in operation until 1966. Although the mill was fully restored to operational condition in 1959, the interior was completely demolished in 1966 to make way for silos. More than ten years later, however, the then municipality of Borculo bought the mill, after which the mill was fully restored to operational condition in 1979 and 1980.
The mill is now owned by the municipality of Berkelland. A volunteer miller grinds cattle feed with the mill every week using wind power. The rods are 23.20 metres long and have been equipped with the Old Dutch fence with sails since 1980. In 1959, the self-swinging, which was only on one rod, was replaced on an inner rod by the Ten Have system and a Van Bussel nose and on the outer rod by Old Dutch.
The mill has a nut-head gear for setting it to the wind and can be turned with a wheel and an electric motor.
The mill is caught, stopped, with a Flemish catch, which is operated with a rocker.
The mill is equipped with one pair of 16der (140 cm diameter) artificial stones, which is equipped with a balancing line. The mill also has a bulge that is driven via the ball spindle of the grinding couple.
