Unbedingt wollte ich die wunderschöne Architektur - das Ziel und der Grund meiner Reise nach Aserbaidschan - in der blauen Stunde fotografieren.
Hatte dabei nicht bedacht, dass Baku sehr viel näher am Äquator liegt als Braunschweig! ;-)))
Daher bleiben dem Fotografen nicht mal 20 Minuten nach dem Sonnenuntergang bis es schon richtig dunkel ist.
Die Sonne wird abends einfach ausgeknipst!
Aber da das Land über scheinbar unbegrenzt Energie verfügt, strahlten sofort nach Beginn der Nacht sehr viele Lichter, die Stadt leuchtete, glitzerte und alle Gebäude schienen miteinander darum zu wetteifern, wer sich in der Dunkelheit am schönsten in Szene setzt.

Shanghai - Exhibition Center. Built after the revolution with Russian help (one can see this from the architectural style). Located on Yan'An Road. Used for art exhibitions. Trade fairs are held at the new Pudong Exhibition Center (aka EXPO center, though it has nothing to do with the EXPO 2010).

The center of your attention is whatever you choose.
Today, Mothers are front and center. Being a Mom carries a lot of weight. It is a blessing, but can feel like a burden at times. Both burdens and blessing are heavy. A blessing carries the weight of resposibility.
I would encourage every woman to be a blessing to others by stepping up to be a mother figure to whoever needs one.
A good woman is a blessing.
A good man is a blessing.
A good daughter is a blessing.
A good son is a blessing.
A good friend is a blessing.
Be blessings to one another not burdens.
Thank you all for your kind favs and comments. YOU are a blessing!
Happy Mother's Day!

Some fishermen and others watch from high above while Mother Nature puts on an exquisite show portraying another spectacular sunset at the Huntington Beach Pier. Seen in the distance is Catalina Island.
The building is intentionally reminiscent of the United States Capitol. Designed by Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed in the 1890s from Colorado white granite, and opened for use in November 1894. The distinctive gold dome consists of real gold plate, first added in 1908, commemorating the Colorado Gold Rush. The building is part of Denver's Civic Center area.
