"Everything is beautiful if you look at it with love." Christian Morgenstern (1871-1914), German poet, writer and translator. "Schön ist eigentlich alles, was man mit Liebe betrachtet. Je mehr jemand die Welt liebt, desto schöner wird er sie finden."
Another leaf ;-) Rose hip leaf with rose hips attached - or probably the other way around ;-), plucked during yesterday's Sunday walk at the park. The photos weren't much, as it was very windy, the light wasn't good, and I felt rather uninspired, too, but I took a few rose-hips home, hoping to get at least a decent shot of something. I nearly skipped, it was late, but then I took a closer look at the leaves - and saw this one smile. It is this imperfection created by the dryness and heat of this summer, by age, the leaf's slightly crooked, pointy "nose", the beginning "autumnisation", which make this leaf so beautiful and special. Had it been perfectly fresh and green, it would have been perfectly beautiful. And a rose hip leaf amongst many others. And of course this leaf today is a leaf amongst many others ;-), each single one unique and beautiful in its own right.
Photographed with the Oly's in-camera focus stacking function (it really works very well!), processed in Luminar, (details, micro structure / contrast, foliage enhancer), finishing touches in Nik's Viveza. Please press "Z".
Keep smiling, have a Happy Macro Monday, and a beautiful new week ahead, dear Flickr friends!
Bitte Lächeln ;-)
Noch ein Blatt ;-) Eine Hagebuttenblatt, mit Hagebutten dran (oder eher umgekehrt), gestern von einem Spaziergang im Natur-Park Schöneberger Südgelände mitgebracht. Ich hätte wieder fast ausfallen lassen, hatte keine rechte Idee für's Thema, es war windig, schlechtes Licht... Aber ich dachte, dass ich vielleicht wenigstens zuhause ein vernünftiges, wenn auch nicht sonderlich originelles Foto zustande bringen könnte. Bei genauer Betrachtung sah ich dieses Blatt lächeln - immerhin etwas ;-) Und es sind auch diese Spuren des beginnenden Verfalls, der Trockenheit des Sommers, die das Blatt eben anders, in meinen Augen auch besonders schön, machen.
Aufgenommen mit der Kamera-internen Fokus-Stacking-Funktion, die mich mal wieder auf's Neue beeindruckt hat. Entwickelt in Luminar (u. a. Detailverbesserung, Mikrostruktur, Grünverbesserung) und Niks Viveza. Bitte "Z" drücken.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne neue Woche mit hoffentlich vielen Gelegenheiten zum Lächeln ;-)
The place of favourites
stars shining
ripples defining
from the depth of the heart it transmits
light where there's shade
shadows where two souls lay
reflections of desire at play
our literary liquescence unafraid
leanings and hues branches that infuse
-touchings of arousal
-seductions appraisal
a thousand views of what the heart pursues
we are the halation of a warming embrace
where waters grimace for the swan's landing
regaining poise is nature's understanding
that interplay of light and shade in perfect grace
with each touching sensation, a renaissance
polishing the needs of heavenly lust
passion paints the picture to which we entrust
our very sensations within a desiring response.

First time I’ve shot on Mauna Kea. I question why I haven’t ever been up there to shoot. It blew every place out of the water for night shooting. The conditions were perfect as it had a crystal clear sky and a blanket of clouds just below.
What can a pencil do for all of us? Amazing things. It can write transcendent poetry, uplifting music, or life-changing equations; it can sketch the future, give life to untold beauty, and communicate the full-force of our love and aspirations.

Excerpt from stcatharines.ca:
The saw and grist mills were first established in the late eighteenth century by Duncan Murray and the Honourable Robert Hamilton. By the mid-nineteenth century, the area became known as “Reynoldsville” when Benjamin Franklin Reynolds purchased the mills from Peter Thomas. Reynolds owned and operated the mills for the next four decades, supplying the shipbuilding industry and local settlers with grains and flour.
The area's first power generating station, intended to supply power to the City of Hamilton, was established in 1898, which gave the neighbourhood its current name – Power Glen. The six homes on the north east side of Power Glen Road, which were built by the Power Company to house the workers of the generating station, also remain.
Twelve Mile Creek and the trail system in the valley, provide connectivity within the district and beyond. On the plateau lands, the tree-lined streets, period lighting and narrow winding road define the streetscape and give the neighbourhood a rural sense of place. These attributes lend themselves to the urban-rural setting of Power Glen, a village in the city that doesn't dominate over its natural setting.
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. John Muir
My idea of beauty involves the handiwork of people - in this case I made the bread and jam (from cherries in my back yard). And we cannot ignore the beauty of nature ... including these 2 tiny wild daisies who found a home in my garden.
I love the work done by John Muir, too. His dedication to preserving nature enables us to enjoy beauty in natural spaces.
-Beauty is in the eye of the beholder-
-Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them-

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore hugs the south shore of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It's known for the dramatic multicolored Pictured Rocks cliffs. Unusual sandstone formations like Miners Castle and Chapel Rock define the park’s headlands. Twelvemile Beach has a trail through a nearby white birch forest. Remnants of shipwrecks dot the shoreline around Au Sable Point’s 19th-century lighthouse.

The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis), sometimes called Canadian goose,[2][3] is a large species of goose with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. Baby geese (goslings) are similar to ducklings and cygnets but are unique in many ways too.
Goslings are much lighter than ducklings and lack the black stripe through their eye, with overall less-defined colouration. Overall, goslings are more yellow than cygnets, which tend to be a light grey.
Goslings are also quite large with long necks and triangular bills, which contrast with the flatter bills of ducklings.

Each of us have a list of words we call ourselves, some of them positive, some of them negative. All of the words in this photo are things I've called myself at some point in my life.
For most of my life my self-talk was utterly horrific, so most of the negative words in this come from my past. And I toned it a down a hell of a lot :P Wasn't much fun remembering all the things I used to call myself... I'm grateful that I'm much kinder to myself these days.
Be your own best friend. :)
The idea of an election is much more interesting to me than the election itself...The act of voting is in itself the defining moment.

Today is election day...your vote matters...VOTE!

Vilhelm Hammershoi ranks among the pre-eminent Scandinavian artists from the turn of the twentieth century. At once traditional and avant-garde - maintaining a self-conscious dialogue with the artistic traditions of his homeland while being thoroughly conversant with contemporary European trends
- Hammershoi helped redefine modernism, both in terms of its aesthetic quality and geographic range.
He was first and foremost a painter of interiors - of hushed, near-deserted spaces populated by a solitary, seemingly spellbound figure. Contemplative and hauntingly still, these scenes comprise the majority of his oeuvre and are the works for which the artist is best known.
Landscapes, however, also played a central role in Hammershoi's art. This sheet is a magnificent example of the artist's unique approach to the genre, where strangeness and silence prevail, and space and line defy all expectations. The work is a precise preparatory study for the central
portion of a large-scale painting. . . .Hammershoi worked meticulously on
each individual tree, deftly defining the structure of the trunk and crown, establishing its precise position in relation to the road and imbuing it with a particular personality.
While "Group of Trees" depicts a deserted-looking thoroughfare flanked by trees, the Royal Road was in actual fact one of Copenhagen's busiest arterial roads. Unlike his Nordic contemporaries Hammershoi eschewed Romantic notions of pure nature untouched by civilization and instead transformed populated areas into desolate, barren landscapes seemingly abandoned by humanity. A sense of alienation and disquiet pervades his work.
Despite the low horizon and resulting high sky in this drawing, there seems to be a total absence of air or atmosphere - an emptiness all around. The grouping of trees, suspended in time, is a microcosm of the world, their seriality suggesting infinite expansion. And yet there is a claustrophobic quality to the scene.
Equally unconventional in "Group of Trees" is the distance between the scene and the beholder: no one has ever perceived and painted a Danish landscape that way before. The road is no longer as it traditionally was: a route into the internal space of the picture, a powerful source of connection. Here it runs parallel to the sheet - there is no way in. For Hammershoi, the work of art no longer served to mediate between humans and nature, but rather emphasized the distance between them.
-- notes from the catalogue "Gathered Leaves" --
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, manic depressive disorder or bipolar affective disorder, is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated mood clinically referred to as mania or, if milder, hypomania. Extreme manic episodes can sometimes lead to psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations. Episodes of abnormality are associated with distress and disruption, and an elevated risk of suicide, especially during depressive episodes. In some cases it can be a devastating long-lasting disorder; in others it has also been associated with creativity, goal striving and positive achievements. Manic and depressive episodes, hallmarks of Bipolar Disorder, have been compared to a roller coaster ride.
