Back form a great holiday in Switzerland and Italy. A lot of people fly a long way from home during the summer, but forget that Europe has so much to give.

 

Our last stop was Cinque Terre. A famous spot that I always wanted to visit. Yes it was crowded, but if you hike a bit, you loose most of the crowds. As a photographer always the challenge to make a unique shot on a very popular photo location. I tried my best, especially using different foregrounds. Hope you enjoy and more to follow.

 

I always really appreciate your favs and comments.

The Arecaceae are a botanical family of perennial plants. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are colloquially called palm trees. They are flowering plants, a family in the monocot order Arecales. Currently 181 genera with around 2600 species are known, most of them restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts.

Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping, making them one of the most economically important plants. In many historical cultures, because of their importance as food, palms were symbols for such ideas as victory, peace, and fertility. For inhabitants of cooler climates today, palms symbolize the tropics and vacations. Most palms are native to tropical and subtropical climates. Palms thrive in moist and hot climates but can be found in a variety of different habitats. Their diversity is highest in wet, lowland forests. South America, the Caribbean, and areas of the south Pacific and southern Asia are regions of concentration. Colombia may have the highest number of palm species in one country. 36744

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!

 

About Daylilies

The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.

 

Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.

 

Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.

 

There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.

 

All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.

 

Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.

 

Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

In its adult form, the gulf fritillary is a medium-sized butterfly that has extended forewings and a wingspan range of 6.5 to 9.5 cm.

Gulf fritillaries have a chemical defense mechanism in which they release odorous chemicals in response to predator sightings. As a result, common predators learn to avoid this species.

This Rock Pigeon rested for a few minutes on the railing along a walkway by the Norwalk River. I managed to get a couple of shots of the numbers and letters on the leg bands and with a bit of online research determined that this is a racing pigeon from a club in a nearby town. I sent them an email, but no response so far.

With a lockdown in place it is against the rules for me to go to places I like to shoot, so I though I would try to create a series called Isolated creativity. The series is not intended to be a diary but a way of documenting thoughts and emotions via photography.

 

I've felt a bit like Pink Rabbit over the passed few day. I'm not fed up and depressed by the lockdown but by the people who think that it's okay to break the rules. By the tabloid media that run stories that convince people it's okay to go out and about, when it Isn't. By the political points scoring that has started to appear in all forms of media.Lastly I fed up with second home owners that have turned up during lockdown and appear to be going out and about most days.

 

Just like Pink Rabbit I have the blues.

HBW!

In perfect form, CP281-08 banks around the old depot at Brookfield, WI during the late hours of the day, in a 3 train afternoon procession that had both mains in use for westbound trains. Special thanks to the birds for this one, I owe you a beer!

I was out scouring the landscape looking for my next victim when I came across an old and dilapidated truck in a farmers field. After shooting it for a while, an odd looking clump of black lengths of something caught my eye. There were two such piles and located next to the road, 50 metres from where I was working.

 

When I got closer, it was evident there were two bundles of discarded retreads. "Retread tires, sometimes known as recap tires or remolded tires, have undergone a remanufacturing process to replace the worn tread on used tires with new tread." This discarded mess were the actual treads that would be applied to used tires, bringing them back to life.

 

It was also evident a very green leafed weed was growing in and amongst the treads. The image that came to mind was a symbolic one. New growth in the form of a weed was growing in the very thing that was to bring new growth to old tires. It was just too much to pass up on and I spent the rest of the morning finding the right composition.

Red Deer - Cervus elaphus

 

Double click image....

 

The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source.

The red deer is the fourth-largest deer species behind moose, elk and sambar deer. It is a ruminant, eating its food in two stages and having an even number of toes on each hoof, like camels, goats and cattle. European red deer have a relatively long tail compared to their Asian and North American relatives. Subtle differences in appearance are noted between the various subspecies of red deer, primarily in size and antlers, with the smallest being the Corsican red deer found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the largest being the Caspian red deer (or maral) of Asia Minor and the Caucasus Region to the west of the Caspian Sea. The deer of central and western Europe vary greatly in size, with some of the largest deer found in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe.Western European red deer, historically, grew to large size given ample food supply (including people's crops), and descendants of introduced populations living in New Zealand and Argentina have grown quite large in both body and antler size. Large red deer stags, like the Caspian red deer or those of the Carpathian Mountains, may rival the wapiti in size. Female red deer are much smaller than their male counterparts.

 

The European red deer is found in southwestern Asia (Asia Minor and Caucasus regions), North Africa and Europe. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated land mammal still existing in Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa, with the population centred in the northwestern region of the continent in the Atlas Mountains. As of the mid-1990s, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria were the only African countries known to have red deer.

 

In the Netherlands, a large herd (ca. 3000 animals counted in late 2012) lives in the Oostvaarders Plassen, a nature reserve. Ireland has its own unique subspecies. In France the population is thriving, having multiplied fivefold in the last half-century, increasing from 30,000 in 1970 to approximately 160,000 in 2014. The deer has particularly expanded its footprint into forests at higher altitudes than before. In the UK, indigenous populations occur in Scotland, the Lake District, and the South West of England (principally on Exmoor). Not all of these are of entirely pure bloodlines, as some of these populations have been supplemented with deliberate releases of deer from parks, such as Warnham or Woburn Abbey, in an attempt to increase antler sizes and body weights. The University of Edinburgh found that, in Scotland, there has been extensive hybridisation with the closely related sika deer.

 

Several other populations have originated either with "carted" deer kept for stag hunts being left out at the end of the hunt, escapes from deer farms, or deliberate releases. Carted deer were kept by stag hunts with no wild red deer in the locality and were normally recaptured after the hunt and used again; although the hunts are called "stag hunts", the Norwich Staghounds only hunted hinds (female red deer), and in 1950, at least eight hinds (some of which may have been pregnant) were known to be at large near Kimberley and West Harling; they formed the basis of a new population based in Thetford Forest in Norfolk. Further substantial red deer herds originated from escapes or deliberate releases in the New Forest, the Peak District, Suffolk, Lancashire, Brecon Beacons, and North Yorkshire, as well as many other smaller populations scattered throughout England and Wales, and they are all generally increasing in numbers and range. A census of deer populations in 2007 and again in 2011 coordinated by the British Deer Society records the red deer as having continued to expand their range in England and Wales since 2000, with expansion most notable in the Midlands and East Anglia.

Jvari Monastery is one of the most iconic in Georgia. This ancient temple dates back to the 6th century AD. It was built at the dawn of the adoption and spread of Christianity in Georgia. The name of the church is translated from Georgian as “the cross” and has its own history. According to the legend, the cross of St. Nino, one of the most revered saints who converted Georgia to Christianity, is kept here. After some time, a temple was built on the site of the holy cross, which later became the basis of the present Jvari.

 

The Jvari temple is located nearby the ancient capital of Georgia, Mtskheta, on the top of a high mountain, from where picturesque views of the neighborhood open, at the intersection of stormy waters of the Aragvi and Kura rivers. The temple attracts thousands of tourists because of its architecture, location and historical value. Exterior and interior decorations of the temple are made in simple, and we can say quite austere forms. Unlike most Orthodox churches, Jvari is beautiful with its simplicity, rigor and clarity of lines. According to the structure, the temple is classified as serial, or tetraconch. Inside the temple right in the center under the dome on a stone pedestal, stands the impressive wooden cross, decorated with inscriptions and carvings. The exterior facades of the temple are decorated with simple, and at the same time expressive bas-reliefs.

 

To the top of the mountain where the temple stands, lead two ways: a new asphalt road for cars, and a path through which people used to climb up to the sanctuary from time immemorial. The trail begins at the highway. Climbing up along it until about the middle, you can come across a spring with holy water which is believed to appear thanks to the prayers of St. Nino. This water is considered to be curative and miraculous. The temple of Jvari went through a long and difficult journey of one and a half thousand year’s length along with the Georgian people, experienced hardships and difficulties, becoming a symbol of faith for Georgia.

"To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis."

Orpheus takes the form of an inverted pyramid, sunk into the earth and open to the elements. It is at once a negative space and a sculptural form. Its serene lines seem to invite you to descend into its depths and enjoy the tranquillity.

 

With rejuvenation of the garden gathering steam, the current Duke was passionate about adding a 21st century edge. He wanted a creative endeavour that would compliment and enhance the triumphant landscapes of his ancestors. So the Duke commissioned Kim Wilkie to design a striking new landform, Orpheus. It is named after the famed musician of Greek mythology who, when his wife Eurydice died, went down into the underworld to try and reclaim her. His music was so beautiful that Hades relented and allowed Eurydice to return to the world of the living.

Die unter Denkmalschutz stehende Nathanael-Kirche befindet sich am Grazer Platz im Berliner Ortsteil Schöneberg im Bezirk Tempelhof-Schöneberg. Die Kirche, ein Backsteinbau, deren Form in norddeutscher, neogotischer Stilfassung ausgeprägt ist, entstand nach einem Entwurf von Jürgen Kröger. An der Einweihung am 31. Oktober 1903 nahm der Kronprinz des Deutschen Reiches, Wilhelm von Preußen, teil. Zur selben Zeit wurde die Nathanael-Gemeinde selbstständig und aus der Kirchengemeinde Schöneberg ausgepfarrt. Begünstigt durch die planmäßige Erschließung eines Bauvereins und einer gemeinnützigen Gesellschaft wuchs die nahegelegene Landhauskolonie Friedenau bis zum Jahr 1885 auf über 2.000 Einwohner, 1919 waren es 43.000. Friedenau gehörte zur Pfarrei der Friedrichswerderschen Kirche, die 1894 über 100.000 Gemeindeglieder zählte. Um dem Mangel an einer angemessenen kirchlichen Seelsorge abzuhelfen, wurde im gleichen Jahr eine Tochtergemeinde gegründet, für die mit Unterstützung Kaiser Wilhelm II. die „Kaiserkirche“, die heutige Apostel-Paulus-Kirche, mit 1500 Sitzplätzen errichtet wurde.

Der Hilfsgeistliche aus der Alt-Schöneberger Pfarrei, der vom Berliner Konsistorium den Auftrag erhielt, eine neue Gemeinde in Friedenau um sich zu sammeln, konnte in der Cranachstraße in einer Ladenwohnung Räume herrichten, in denen am 31. März 1899 der erste Gottesdienst abgehalten wurde. Bald reichten die Räume in der Cranachstraße nicht mehr aus. Beim Verkauf ihrer Äcker im Ortsteil Friedenau behielt sich die Parochie Alt-Schöneberg einen Bauplatz für eine künftige Kirche vor. Die Berliner Stadtsynode bewilligte ab 1901 in Raten insgesamt 250.000 Mark (kaufkraftbereinigt heute: rund 1,7 Millionen Euro) für den Bau einer weiteren Kirche. An der Entstehung der Nathanael-Kirche war Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria maßgeblich beteiligt, die das Patronat über den am 2. Mai 1890 gegründeten Berliner Evangelischen Kirchenbauverein zur Förderung des Kirchenbaus und von Gemeindegründungen übernommen hatte. Sie hatte auch bei dieser Kirche Rechte und Pflichten des Patronats übernommen, weil die 7000 Gemeindemitglieder in der Landhauskolonie Friedenau eine Kirche benötigten. Ihr Oberhofmeister Ernst von Mirbach war Mitglied der Baukommission. Der Architekt Jürgen Kröger, aus dessen Architekturbüro viele Entwürfe für Kirchen in der Art märkischer Backsteingotik mit romanischen oder gotischen Stilformen hervorgingen, erhielt für seinen Entwurf Centralbau nach einer Ausschreibung den ersten Preis. Diese Pläne wurden realisiert.Die Kirche ist Nathanael geweiht, einem Jünger Jesu Christi, der oft mit dem Apostel Bartholomäus gleichgesetzt wird. Ihm wird nachgesagt, dass er den Weg vom gläubigen Judentum zum Glauben an Jesus symbolisiere. Am 22. Mai des Jahres 1902 erfolgte der erste Spatenstich. Im November des Jahres 1902 wurde Richtfest gefeiert. Die Kirche erhielt Sitzplätze für 1.050 Gläubige, obwohl sie damals noch am Rande des Siedlungsgebietes lag. Es bestand aber die Hoffnung, dass rund um die Kirche viele Wohnungen entstehen werden. Bereits 1925 zählten zur Gemeinde 28.000 Mitglieder, die von drei Pfarrern betreut wurden.

Im Juli 1903 wurden die drei vom Bochumer Verein gegossenen Gussstahlglocken hochgezogen und in der Glockenstube installiert. Ihre Herstellung – samt Klöppel, Achsen, Lager und Läutehebel – kostete 5308 Mark.Sie wurden in beiden Weltkriegen nicht für die Herstellung von Geschossen eingeschmolzen.

Bei Luftangriffen der Alliierten vernichteten Brandbomben am 15. Februar 1944 das Dach über dem Kirchenschiff, am 20. März 1944 die Turmspitze. Herabstürzende Trümmer brachten das Feuer im Inneren der Kirche zum Erlöschen. Die Kirche sah zwar äußerlich mitgenommen aus, aber die Innenausstattung war relativ gut erhalten. Erst nach Ende des Krieges wurden aus dem Kircheninneren die Kirchenbänke, der Holzfußboden sowie die Deckenbalken und Dachsparren entwendet, ebenso jegliches Metall, das sich noch verwerten ließ. Weil in der Nachkriegssituation an einen Wiederaufbau der Kirche zunächst nicht zu denken war, wurde das ebenfalls beschädigte Gemeindehaus wieder instand gesetzt, um dort Gottesdienste feiern zu können. Am 12. April 1950 wurde der Kirchsaal neu geweiht. Ende Januar 1954 begann der Wiederaufbau der Kirche: zunächst wurden das Kirchenschiff und die Anbauten an der rechten Seite des Chores wiederhergestellt. Im Sommer 1954 erfolgte die Restaurierung der äußeren Fassade des Turmes. Wegen des stetig zunehmenden Flugverkehrs galten für die Höhe von Kirchtürmen in Berlin neue Bestimmungen, sodass der Turm nicht wieder seine alte Gestalt und Höhe erhielt. 1955 wurde das Kircheninnere renoviert und neu ausgestattet. Auch die Turmuhr konnte renoviert werden. Insgesamt wurden rund 460.000 Mark (heute: rund 1.178.000 Euro) für den Wiederaufbau ausgegeben. Die Wiedereinweihung der Nathanael-Kirche mit nunmehr 700 Sitzplätzen fand am 23. Oktober 1955 statt.Die Baukommission hatte sich bei der Nathanael-Kirche für den Entwurf einer roten Backsteinkirche im gotischen Stil entschieden. Sie entsprach damit den Empfehlungen des 1861 verabschiedeten Eisenacher Regulativs, das die Gemeinden verpflichtete, sich um der Würde des Kirchbaues willen vorzugsweise an den romanischen oder gotischen Stil zu halten, der als Träger altdeutscher und patriotischer Gesinnung galt. Die Kirche wurde nach Osten gen Jerusalem ausgerichtet, wie es der geschichtlichen Tradition der frühchristlichen Basilika entsprach. Der Zentralbau ist ein Längsbau mit breitem einschiffigen Langhaus, kurzem hochgiebligen Querschiff und polygonalem Chor. Das Dach über der Vierung wurde durch einen spitzen, hochragenden Dachreiter bekrönt. Der Mauerwerksbau ist mit hellroten Ziegeln und einzelnen grünen Glasursteinen verblendet, der Sockel mit braunroten Klinkern. Die Wandflächen werden durch Putzblenden aufgelockert. Die Giebel des Querschiffs haben breite Spitzbogenfenster. Der Chor hat Anbauten in der Art eines Kapellenkranzes, die unter anderem die Sakristei beherbergen.

Der Westfront des querrechteckigen Turms, flankiert von Anbauten für die Treppenhäuser und zu den Emporen, ist ein Portal vorgelagert, dessen Wimperg zinnengekrönt ist und an der Spitze ein Kreuz trägt. Das Bogenfeld über dem Eingangsportal zierte ursprünglich ein buntes Christus-Gemälde. Über den großen Schallöffnungen des Glockengeschosses mit einem Dreiecksgiebel, erhob sich ein achtseitiger, spitzer Helm, der auf halber Höhe von spitzbogigen Öffnungen durchbrochen wurde.

Der Bau ist nach den schweren Zerstörungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs in der äußeren Form etwas vereinfacht wiederhergestellt worden. Der Turm trägt nun über dem Glockengeschoss ein schlichtes Walmdach. Der Dachreiter über der Vierung wurde nicht wiederhergestellt. Die Turmhöhe wird nun mit 38 Metern angegeben.https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathanael-Kirche_(Berlin)
