Clare gifted me the bone china mug in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's rose motif.
I feel Ray will not mind two pansies from his recently planted hanging basket participating here!

Lange Schatten und lichte Punkte. Das Jahr 2020.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Maybe a rope to hold on to. A lot of shade this year, for many stinging like needles. A lot has changed for many, is still changing. Maybe there is also a soft base. Just like here. And – where there is shadow, there is also light – so they say. Just like here. A lot is being questioned or reconsidered in order to make it better in the future. So it fits that green is also known as the color of hope ;-)

Again serious thoughts on my part. Although I have implemented this picture very playfully and with a lot of fun ;-) I wish you all that you can also act in a playful way – and have fun doing it :-)))

Vielleicht ein Seil zum Festhalten. Viel Schatten in diesem Jahr, für viele wie Nadeln so stechend. Für viele hat sich viel verändert, verändert sich immer noch. Vielleicht gibt es auch eine weiche Basis dazu. So wie hier. Und – wo Schatten ist, da ist auch Licht – sagt man so. So wie hier. Vieles wird gerade in Frage gestellt oder überdacht, um es in Zukunft besser zu machen. Da passt es doch, dass Grün ja bekanntlich auch noch die Farbe der Hoffnung ist ;-)

Wieder einmal ernste Gedanken meinerseits. Obwohl ich dieses Bild sehr spielerisch und mit viel Spaß umgesetzt habe ;-) Ich wünsche Euch allen, dass Ihr ebenfalls spielerisch agieren könnt – und viel Spaß dabei :-)))

Don't worry, I'm harmless. Believe me – really, I'm scared of myself. What a little different lighting can do (or deface) ... Sometimes appearances are deceptive and suddenly everything seems damn creepy ;-)

By the way, you can find out about my state and my other "I" here – a few moments earlier ... flic.kr/p/2mmMExG

Keine Angst, ich bin harmlos. Ihr könnt mir glauben – wirklich, ich erschrecke mich ja selbst vor mir. Was so ein wenig andere Beleuchtung so alles veranstalten (oder verunstalten) kann ... Manchmal trügt der Schein und plötzlich scheint alles verdammt gruselig zu sein ;-)

Meinen Zustand und mein anderes "Ich" könnt Ihr übrigens hier ergründen – ein paar Augenblicke früher ... flic.kr/p/2mmMExG

Proyecta sobre la acera.
Projetado sobre a calçada.
Screened on the pavement.
Proiettato sul marciapiede.
The battlements of the fortress cast harsh drop shadows.
Die Wehrmauern der Festung werfen harte Schlagschatten.
Carcassonne, Languedoc, France
"Carcassonne [...] is a French fortified city in the department of Aude, in the region of Occitanie. It is the prefecture of the department.
Inhabited since the Neolithic, Carcassonne is located in the plain of the Aude between historic trade routes, linking the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea and the Massif Central to the Pyrénées. Its strategic importance was quickly recognized by the Romans, who occupied its hilltop until the demise of the Western Roman Empire. In the fifth century, it was taken over by the Visigoths, who founded the city. Within three centuries, it briefly came under Islamic rule. Its strategic location led successive rulers to expand its fortifications until the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659.
Its citadel, known as the Cité de Carcassonne, is a medieval fortress dating back to the Gallo-Roman period and restored by the theorist and architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in 1853. It was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997 because of the exceptional preservation and restoration of the medieval citadel. [...]" (Wikipedia)

These complaints already sound a little funny or rather strange when you listen to this old song by Hans Albers from 1950, from which the line of text comes. But the first connecting thought came to me about the candy and Hans Albers, because he sang so many longing songs about the sea, the sailors and the associated, often "waiting" women. The name of this special – and no less famous – pastille, which clears the breath as beautifully as a fresh sea breeze, is called: Fisherman's Friend. And a worried and wistful eye goes well with that, doesn't it? ... By the way, I usually have some of these friends with me ;-)
///
Ein wenig komisch oder besser seltsam hören sich diese Kläge schon an, wenn man sich dieses alte Lied von Hans Albers aus dem Jahr 1950 anhört, aus dem die Textzeile stammt. Doch kam mir der erste verknüpfende Gedanke bei der Süßigkeit zu Hans Albers, weil er so unzählige sehnsuchtsvoll anmutende Lieder über das Meer, die Seemänner und die dazugehörigen, oft "wartenden" Frauen gesungen hat. Der Name dieser speziellen – und nicht weniger berühmten – Pastille, die den Atem so schön frei macht wie eine frische Meeresbrise, heißt: Fisherman's Friend. Und dazu passt doch ein sorgen- und sehnsuchtsvolles Auge ganz gut, oder? ... Ich habe übrigens meistens welche dieser Freunde mit dabei ;-)

Ingredients: white mint candy as eyeball, red onfectionery decoration as iris, flower petals as eyelashes, sugar as face (no snow), not a drop of water as a tear (it wouldn't be good for the sugar ...), sunlight (which was pretty hard, made everything sparkle – but probably also pushed my lens a little to its limits ...)

Zutaten: weißer Pfefferminzbonbon als Augapfel, rote Konditorei-Dekoration als Iris, Blütenblätter als Wimpern, Zucker als Gesicht (kein Schnee), kein Wassertropfen als Träne (dem Zucker wäre das nicht gut bekommen), Sonnenlicht (Welches ziemlich hart war, alles schön zum Glitzern brachte – aber mein Objektiv wohl auch ein wenig an seine Grenzen brachte ...)

These handsome ducks were walking on the ice, which took on different colors. I think the colors came from the grasses and reeds that were under the ice. With the sun shining on the ice the colors were very unusual and very pretty. Which I think made for a great background. Thank you Skeletal Mess for your texture and I used Picnic for the dropshadow.
It was a blustery sunshine-luminous day with the light seemingly bouncing off the sea when I met Charlotte on the beach at Hayling Island. She readily agreed to have her portrait taken for my strangers' project.
During lockdown it became too difficult to source portraits and I began converting existing photos into mono. It was interesting to decide which to convert.
Although lockdown seems far behind us now, I have continued this series.

I hope your not thinking "Another water drop!". I ♥ them and they're fun.
Thank you for your comments and faves!
Melbourne Town Hall. Taking on a cold winter morning from the edge of the Yarra River at Birrarung Marr.
Converted into a subtle oil painting using Photoshop.
Come la testa di un ometto.
Como a cabeça de um boneco.
Como la cabeza de un muñeco.
Like a guy’s head.
I'm back! well... for a moment, at least. I'm off to another model photo shoot!
