Fameshed event location:
The small museum harbour and village of Nymindegab belong to the special places I regularly visit during my Easter vacation. Covered in spring light the location performed beautiful as ever. Nymindegab, Jylland, Denmark.
The course of the sun is the epitome of time. This impressive beech tree, standing on the edge of a chasm, can observe that process since many many years now. How many sunrises she may have seen already ? 40.000 ? 100.000 ? more ? How was the world like when she was able to whitness that wonder the first time ?
Der Lauf der Sonne ist der Inbegriff von Zeit. Diese stattliche Buche, direkt an der Kante eines Abgrundes bebachtet diesen Vorgang bereits viele viele Jahre. Wie viele Sonnenaufgänge mag sie schon gesehen haben ? 40.000 ? 100.000 ? mehr ? Wie sah wohl die Welt aus, als sie dieses Wunder das erstmal bebobachten konnte ?

Sophisticated, elegant with many different colours to choose from for both the sofa fabric and cushions. Every set from this store is stunning.

Another breathtaking tree from Konoha, each one released is so unique and the texture options are endless. Perfect for every season. My absolute favorite is this striking red. Ideal for Autumn.

"The camera is an instrument that teaches people to see without a camera."
- Dorothea Lange.
If you're like me you go through the day observing the little things - light and shade, line and form, identifying subjects that intrigue and tease. Thinking all the while, "That would make a great photo." Unlike Henri Cartier-Bresson, most of us can't carry a camera with us wherever we go. But that doesn't stop us taking photos with our mind. With such a mindset the world is filled with photo ops.
There has never been a time when more snapshots have been taken, and almost all of those hundreds of millions of pictures every single day are taken with a smart phone and posted on social media. Taking pictures is ubiquitous, and yet the art of photography remains illusive.
If you look closely at this image you'll observe some interesting things. That seagull we saw in the previous photograph (taken a couple of hours earlier) is still there, but this time he's been joined by another. In the sky on the far right we observe a jet's contrail that looks surprisingly like a comet. And if you look really closely, the ubiquitous contemporary photographer is silhouetted against the fading light. And of course his instrument of choice appears to be an iPad.
Modern art galleries and museums have always wanted to tell a story in the usual fashion of linear history. So as a rule rooms in galleries tended to be set out in historical periods or particular styles. The contemporary curator however eschews all that, throws everything into the mix and allows the viewer to piece together their own story.
Now this is all very well for the informed art lover, but can be very confusing to those who have never studied art history. It's a sink or swim model, and the jury is still out on whether this approach is going to be successful.
This section of the QVMAG was recently renovated to allow for more works to be shown from the very large collection that Launceston has built up over 200 years (the settlement itself was founded in 1806). One problem for photographers is that the light intensity has been reduced to 40 lumens per square metre (for example a 60 watt light bulb provides 800 lumens per square metre). This is so the works are not damaged by excess light. But it does make getting good photographs of the works very difficult indeed. This photograph, for instance, appears much brighter than the lighting actually was.
My favorite architectural photo just got published by National Geographic 😃
Thank you for your support!
The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain, with its many architectural highlights completely stole my heart and will keep it forever. It doesn’t matter where you look, you always discover something remarkable. But the L’Hemisfèric is truly the icing on the cake; Santiago Calatrava excelled himself with its design and created a masterpiece.

… newly commissioned TCG Anadolu casts a menacing shadow in front of Topkapı.
Parking an Amphibious Assault Ship this size at the entrance of an opposition favouring largest city (by far) at the time of a general election is of course not a politically driven move at all …
Watch it properly @ Gallery Minimal

I never feel more found than when I'm wandering / I never feel more still than when I'm free / But to hear that quiet voice, I'd give up everything / To follow the soft sighing of the sea (Adrianne Lenker & Buck Meek)

This is a common, long-legged wading bird of the Heron family, native to temperate Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa, often found near wetlands and coastlines where it hunts aquatic prey. The Grey Heron is closely related and similar to the North American Great Blue Heron, which differs in being larger, and having chestnut-brown flanks and thighs; and to the Cocoi Heron from South America, with which it forms a superspecies. They have the ability to live in cities where habitats and nesting space are available. They are often considered a significant pest of fisheries, causing damage to the population of valuable fish both in natural reservoirs and in ponds intended for the cultivation of cultivated fish species.
