#WindowWednesday
This capture, taken at a Flickr photo walk at an abandoned lung sanatorium back in March 2018, could indeed serve as a fairly broad hint that it's time for some spring cleaning ;-) I still have so many photos (already processed, framed, ready for upload) from that fantastic walk with Flckr friends, so I thought it's about time to show you another one.
Hereinspaziert!
Ich habe noch so viele Fotos von unserem Flickr-Abenteuer-Spaziergang auf dem Gelände eines alten Lungensanatoriums, dass es mal wieder an der Zeit ist, ein weiteres davon zu präsentieren. Als kleine Anregung für den Frühjahrsputz :-)

As much as I was able to get out around my yard here are just a few shots from this week long ice storm.
Delicate Arch with background of La Sal Mountains, Arches National Park, Moab, Utah, USA
Iconic, classic picture.. but a lot of good memories.
The about 1 hours hike, sometimes almost running, to reach the Arch for sunset... photographers with tripod and big stuff everywhere... but a wonderful place.

#Freitagsblümchen
#FenceFriday
A fence-defying, very pretty rhododendron shrub in the neighbourhood, taken on my recent first "flower close-up test walk" with the tiny Sony. Since then, I've taken many more flower photos with this "pocket rocket", and most of the time, I'm very happy with the results.
There are many beautiful, flowery front gardens and many old fences in my neighbourhood, and it's always fun to go on a leisurely walk (or at least keep the camera within reach at all times), especially at this time of year. There's an ant on one of the petals (one of many that we can't see, I assume), maybe you can find it ;)
I did exposure bracketing, so this is a true HDR (mainly processed in HDR Efex). The image is a little grainy (HDR Efex often adds grain back in), but with scenes like this, I actually quite like it, as it looks more natural and "film"-like.
HFF and Happy Freitagsblümchen, dear Flickr friends!
The trees communicate in terpenes and other volitiles only detectable with special instruments (though we also can sometimes smell the forest).
The trees are neurons in a cortex. When we walk in the woods, we are traveling through a brain, and maybe also through a mind, of sorts. What emergent properties does a stand of trees have? The trees collective thoughts are completely foreign to us.
Their conversation is mostly undetectable and very sedate to creatures that run at roughly human clock speeds. No need to be hasty.
Trees absorb sheaves of solar rays too. Many of them are also invisible until they enter the lens of a camera without its hot mirror filter. Because the camera doesn't know which light should be visible to us, it records all the photons that hit it sensor as red, green, or blue. And in this way, through technological unknowing, we obtain knowledge of the unseen.
This follows the pattern of our general experience of life. First, even the plain things going on all around us take time and sometimes extra effort to even start to observe — let alone fully understand.
Second, it is only by moving through a phase of ignorance that we can allow even what is brilliantly illuminated to enter our awareness.
The truth is not just out there, it is everywhere.

The historic Robe Obelisk stands on the point of Cape Dombey and was constructed by local builder George Shivas at a cost of £230 in 1855. The Obelisk was used to create a landmark to navigate the entrance into Guichen Bay and to store rocket fired lifesaving equipment for stricken ships.
This older photo was taken with my Panasonic compact camera that has now been converted for infrared. I'll show you a few more infrareds taken with this camera over the next week.

#sliderssunday
Would you? In these contact- and closeness-avoiding times we could all do with more hugs. But would you accept a hug by a green huntsman spider? And is this a spider? Maybe it's a dew-covered spider that lurks in the darkness to surprise its unsuspecting "victims" with... a hug – a friendly, if rather wet hug. So maybe this is a new subspecies of huntsman spiders (Sparassidae), the green, glistening Hugsman Spider :)
Actually it is non of the above, but a simple sliders "accident", and what you see are the exact same leaves from my previous photo (please see the first comment) –, well, it is the same photo. As mentioned in my description for my previous image, I had processed it in HDR Efex. And the "accident" happened when I was done in HDR Efex and had returned to PS. I was wondering if I should use one of the layer blending modes to slightly soften the fairly bold look I had created in HDR Efex; I opted for the "Soft Light" blending mode, but accidentally activated the "Color Burn" blending mode instead: And all of a sudden this strange, spider-ish, alien creature looked at me, ready to hug :) And as for my previous image: I decided against the use of a blending mode, and only used the HDR Efex result for the final image.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, have a nice new week ahead, and always stay safe and take care!
In diesen kontaktbeschränkten, abstandswahrenden Zeiten könnten wir sicher alle mal eine zusätzliche Umarmung gebrauchen, oder? Aber muss es gleich die Umarmung einer Riesenkrabbenspinne sein? Und ist dies überhaupt eine Spinne? Vielleicht ist es eine, die im Schatten der Blätter eines Busches, von Tautropfen benetzt, auf ihre ahnungslose Beute lauert? Tatsächlich? Nun, Riesenkrabbenspinnen hören im Deutschen auch auf den charmanten Namen "Grüne Huschspinne" und hier handelt es sich wohl um ein besonders verhuschtes, ganz und gar freundliches Exemplar, hat sie doch nichts anderes im Sinn, als das nächstbeste Lebewesen, das an ihrem Versteck vorbeikommt, einmal herzhaft zu umarmen :-)
Tatsächlich sind dies genau dieselben, mit Regentropfen verzierten Blätter von meinem vorherigen Foto bzw. ist es das vorherige Foto (siehe den ersten Kommentar) in einer geringfügig anderen Bearbeitung. Nachdem ich mit den Anpassungen für das Blätterfoto in HDR Efex fertig war, hatte ich noch kurz überlegt, die Nik-Ebene mit der Ebene des Originalfotos zu überblenden, weil mir das HDR-Efex-Resultat zunächst etwas zu kräftig erschien. Mir schwebte "Abdunkeln" oder "Weiches Licht" vor, ich landete aber mit einem versehentlichen Klick bei "Farbig nachbelichten" – und auf einmal schaute mich dieses von tiefen Schatten umgebene, kuschelwütige Wesen an ;-) Da mir dieser "Bearbeitungsunfall" gefiel, habe ich beschlossen, einfach zwei Bilder aus dem Originalfoto zu machen :)
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten (und gut geschützten) Start in die neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
My favourite island - I've photographed it many times.
Turawa lake (Jezioro Turawskie), Poland.

The penguin pool is a sight to behold at Taronga Zoo. Visitors can walk under the water and view the birds from below. That's exactly what I've done here and the effect on the water's surface is almost abstract art.
It is believed that Penguins like this (Spheniscidae) mate for life.

Gower Gulch seen from Zabriskie Point, Death Valley, California, USA
Gower Gulch is a small gulch on the eastern side of Death Valley in Inyo County, California. It is located in the Black Mountains. Gower Gulch is visible from Zabriskie Point and is about one and a half miles long.
Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park in California, United States noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence.
