Die gewundene Form der Pilzfruchtkörper erinnert an einen Tanz, den diese Winterhelmlinge im kahlen Winterwald aufführen. Um dennoch einen attraktiven Hintergrund zu bekommen probierte ich eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Perspektiven aus, von denen mir diese als die gelungenste erschien.
The twisted shape of the mushroom fruiting bodies is reminiscent of a dance that these winter hornets perform in the bare winter forest. In order to still get an attractive background, I tried out a variety of different perspectives, of which this seemed to be the most successful.
Another shot form my low key experimentation the other night.

Eine besondere Form der Abzweigstelle, die heutzutage äußerst selten geworden ist bei den europäischen Eisenbahnen, ist diese Betriebsstelle an der Schmalspurbahn Jindrichov Hradec bzw. an der durch Jindrichuv Hradec führende Normalspurstrecke. Hier mündet die bosnische Spur mit 760 mm in das Normaspurgleis mit 1435 mm und wird bis zum Bahnhot Jindrichuv Hradec als Dreischienengleis weitergeführt. Triebwagen M27 004 befährt gerade, von Kamenice nac Lipou kommend, den Abzweig.
Seasonally dimorphic, the fall form of this species with strong lavender edging and predominantly orange coloration on the dorsal hind wings will overwinter as an adult. It will be one of the earliest butterflies to fly in spring and may even be encountered on warm winter days in early February. This butterfly does not rely on floral nectar, but prefers to sip flowing tree sap, carrion and dung. Male butterflies love to puddle and are notoriously territorial meeting any intruder that enters their territory.
Es una torre formada por tres cuerpos, El primer cuerpo, dodecagonal, fue construido entre 1220 y 1221 por orden del gobernador almohade de Sevilla, Abù l-Ulà. En cuanto al segundo cuerpo, también dodecagonal hay disparidad de opiniones, pues por un lado se afirma que éste pertenecía a la obra original almohade, y por otro lado que fue mandado construir por Pedro I el cruel en el siglo XIV aunque de esta hipótesis no se tiene constancia de ningún texto antiguo que lo afirme y parece más cerca de la leyenda que de la realidad. Por último el cuerpo superior, cilíndrico y rematado en cúpula dorada, fue construido en 1760 por el ingeniero militar Sebastián Van der Borcht tras el terremoto de Lisboa de 1755.
Fue declarada monumento histórico-artístico en 1931 y ha sido restaurada varias veces. En la Edad Contemporánea fue restaurada en 1900, entre 1991 y 1992, en 1995 y en 2005. En su conservación ha sido importante la labor de la Armada. Se encuentra en buen estado de conservación y alberga el Museo Naval de Sevilla.

Nicely restored heritage home in Trinity, Newfoundland. I've seen local pictures of this house in much rougher shape years ago. Nice to see it brought back to this condition. An older picture I took in 2011.
Bending Light #67
This is another 'double refraction' . The refraction pattern of light formed through one of my glass objects is passed through one of my coloured plastic shapes. The result,as you can see, is quite complicated. There is still the basic shape of the glass refraction pattern but this is now broken down again by the second refraction.
For new viewers: these are analog images of the refraction patterns of a beam of light passing through various transparent objects. The image is captured directly on to 35mm film, no camera lens is used ( this is a photogram using film instead of photographic paper). No Photoshop is used only Picasa2 for alignment and cropping. The slide film was lab processed and scanned for uploading.
When viewed large the fine bands of diffraction patterns and also some refraction 'rainbows' can be seen.
Taken this very evening at a fantastic Christmas market that I visited with friends. We bought beautiful handmade gifts & some yummy Indian food to take back to eat at their house; my first time trying dosa. For Saturday Self Challenge theme “light”.

What crazy times these are. These images were taken not quite two weeks ago before Europe (and more specifically Belgium) went into lockdown. We dithered at the time as to whether we should go but of course there was no mandate to shut Borders whilst we were there. That announcement came the day after our return. Our visit was much quieter and quite eerie with no crowds and no problem with maintaining social distancing.
I seem to have lost confidence and enthusiasm for photography (it's taken me 2 weeks to decide to post these) but it will provide some sort of focus for the coming months. At least we are going into longer and warmer days, and with the lack of air traffic over London and the Home Counties it's lovely to hear the birdsong again and reconnect with nature which in it's self is calming and reassuring.
Stay safe and healthy guys.

Formed about 25 million years ago, the spectacular limestone formation of Wawel Hill is not the solid piece of rock it appears to be, but rather filled with eerie caves and crawl spaces. As legend would have it, the craggy chambers beneath Wawel were once home to Smok Wawelski, or the Wawel Dragon, a particularly nasty creature who liked nothing more than to gorge himself on sheep and local maidens. Story goes that as the village ran out of virgins, the King promised the hand of his only daughter to the hero who could vanquish the vile beast. Wave upon wave of brave knights fell beneath the dragon's fiery breath before a poor cobbler named Krak tricked Smok into eating a sheep stuffed full of sulphur, which instantly ignited inside his gullet. With an unquenchable thirst the dragon went and drank half the river before his distended belly exploded and the town was freed of his wrath. Krak married the princess, of course, became king, built his castle on the dragon's lair and the people built a city around it named 'Kraków' after their saviour king.
Smok's bones were hung triumphantly outside the entrance of the Cathedral, where they remain today. His cave became a famous tavern and brothel during medieval times. The stairway leads to the caves leads which goes through under the castle courtyard to outside the complex by the riverbank, right in front of Smok's sculpted bronze likeness unveiled in 1972 to a design by the local artist Bronisław Chromy. The sculpture occasional provides fire-breathing bliss.
Exploring the Scenic Aristophanean Form While Political corruption rules ... "Dikaiopolis" takes on an initiative for Peace,Justice and Meritocracy... The Market Place opens and desperation leads to all kind of merchandise and commodities put up for Sale ...
Timeless Plays ... my Flickr friends,very timeless,I am Afraid ... Tragedy and Politics in Aristophanes' The Acharnians ~ Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus ~ Presented in Greek with English subtitles ~
Aristophanes might be considered among the first authors to display interest in domestic economy, by turning the Athenians' focus to the welfare of the "oikos" and its importance for the prosperity of the "polis"....
A temporary return to a genre I used to shoot almost exclusively for almost two years: not-landscape: vistas become intimate scenes of tree shape and form; colour becomes black & white; light turns to dull.
A worthy subject and style to revisit on occasion.

Der 102,5 ha große Neue Garten liegt im Norden Potsdams am Jungfernsee. Über das Wasser hinweg bestehen gestalterische Verbindungen zu den Gärten von Sacrow, Pfaueninsel, Glienicke und Babelsberg, wodurch er eine zentrale Rolle in der Gartenlandschaft erhält. Trotz Überformung durch Lenné hat er noch sentimentale Einzelpartien aus der Entstehungsphase vor 1800 bewahrt. Seine Geschichte fängt mit dem Ankauf eines zentralen Grundstückes durch den Kronprinzen Friedrich Wilhelm (II.) an. Im Jahre 1787, ein Jahr nach dem Regierungsantritt, begann die Anlage des Neuen Gartens, der seinen Namen programmatisch in der Abkehr vom alten Barockpark Sanssouci erhielt. Als Gestalter wurde der Wörlitzer Gärtner Johann August Eyserbeck verpflichtet, was die Umsetzung der an englischen Gärten orientierten Idealvorstellung Friedrich Wilhelms garantierte. Ungünstig für den einheitlichen Charakter des Gartens war der sich über mehrere Jahre hinziehende Grundstücksankauf. Neben einbezogenen ehemaligen Wohnhäusern entstanden zwischen 1787 und 1792 wichtige neue Bauten im Garten, von denen heute noch viele bestehen: Marmorpalais, Küche in Form einer römischen Tempelruine, Gotische Bibliothek, Schindelhaus, Orangerie, Grotte, Meierei, Pyramide (Eiskeller) und das holländische Etablissement. Vor letzterem verläuft, begleitet von Pyramidenpappeln (seit 1864 Pyramideneichen), ein Musterstück für den preußischen Chausseebau. In der Gartenanlage entstand eine Fülle von Partien unterschiedlicher sentimentaler Prägung, die von den jeweiligen Bauten oder Pflanzungen in ihrem Charakter bestimmt werden. 1816 überarbeitete Peter Joseph Lenné im Auftrag des Thronfolgers den zugewachsenen und unmodern gewordenen Garten. Unter Erhalt vieler Bereiche und Entfernung zu dichter Gehölze bekam der Neue Garten große Sichten und Wiesenräume, gefälligere Wegeführung und vor allem die Blickverbindungen zu den Nachbargärten (Sacrow, Pfaueninsel, Glienicke, Babelsberg, Potsdam, Pfingstberg). Trotz kleinerer Veränderungen zur Kaiserzeit und durch Rücknahme von Einbauten aus der Zeit der russischen Nutzung (1945–1954) hat sich noch immer die von Lenné geplante Grundstruktur bewahrt. Das Schloss Cecilienhof, 1913–1917 für den Kronprinzen erbaut, fügt sich sehr harmonisch ein. Eine 13 ha große Fläche, die 1960-1990 als Grenzgebiet zerstört war, ist inzwischen wieder hergestellt worden.

The New Garden, which covers 102.5 hectares, lies at Jungfernsee Lake in the northern part of Potsdam. Creative viewing connections extend across the water to the gardens of Sacrow, Peacock Island, Glienicke and Babelsberg, evidencing the park’s central role in this overall garden landscape. Despite its having been reshaped by Lenné, the garden has nevertheless preserved individual, emotive areas that date from the phase of its creation before 1800. The garden’s history begins with the purchase of a central piece of land by Crown Prince Frederick William (II). In 1787, a year after his ascension to the throne, the laying out of the grounds commenced at the New Garden, the name being programmatic for the abandonment of the old baroque park at Sanssouci. Wörlitz gardener Johann August Eyserbeck was charged with its creation, a decision that ensured a transformation in alignment with Frederick William’s ideals oriented towards English gardens.
What undermined the uniform character of the garden was the fact that it had taken several years to purchase the land. In addition to the former private houses that were included, important new buildings were constructed in the garden between 1787 and 1792, many of which still exist today: the Marble House, the kitchen in the shape of a Roman temple ruins, the Gothic Library, Shingle House, orangery, grotto, dairy, pyramid (ice house) and the Dutch houses. In front of the latter, we find a prime example of Prussian country road construction lined with pyramid-shaped cottonwood poplars (now, since 1864, pyramid-shaped oaks). On the garden grounds, a number of areas were created, whose characters were emotively shaped by the respective buildings or plantings to varying degrees.
In 1816, Peter Joseph Lenné was commissioned by the successor to the throne to rework the overgrown garden, which no longer conformed with the contemporary taste. By preserving many areas while removing copses that had become too dense, the New Garden was provided with new perspectives and meadow spaces, more pleasing pathways and above all, with viewing connections to the neighboring gardens (Sacrow, Peacock Island, Glienicke, Babelsberg, Potsdam, Pfingstberg Hill). Despite the smaller changes made during Imperial times and owing to the removal of installations dating from the time the garden was used by the Russians (1945 –1954), Lenné’s basic structural design has been retained up to this day. Cecilienhof Country House, built for the Crown Prince from 1913 to 1917, harmonizes in this setting. In the meantime, an area of 13 hectares has been restored, which had been destroyed during its use as part of the border zone from 1960 to 1990.
Landscape of Tuscany. This is the first in a series of explorative abstracts. Creating these is an exercise in establishing what feels right and in finding meaning in very little.
Like a tulip rainbow
Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated (see map). In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate climates. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. Wikipedia

The church hosts also a marking in the form of a meridian line inlaid in the paving of the left aisle in 1655; it was calculated and designed by the astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini, who was teaching astronomy at the University. A meridian line does not indicate the time: instead, with its length of 66.8 metres (219 ft) it is one of the largest astronomical instruments in the world, allowing measurements that were for the time uniquely precise. The sun light, entering through a 27.07 mm (1.066 in) hole placed at a 27.07 m (88.8 ft) height in the church wall, projects an elliptical image of the sun, which at local noon falls exactly on the meridian line and every day is different as to position and size. The position of the projected image along the line allows to determine accurately the daily altitude of the sun at noon, from which Cassini was able to calculate with unprecedented precision astronomical parameters such as the obliquity of the ecliptic, the duration of the tropical year and the timing of equinoxes and solstices. On the other hand, the size of the projected sun's image, and in particular its rate of variation during the year, allowed Cassini the first experimental verification of Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
Cassini and Domenico Guglielmini published an illustrated account of how the meridian line was accomplished in 1695.

La iglesia también alberga una marca en forma de línea meridiana incrustada en el pavimento de la nave izquierda en 1655; fue calculada y diseñada por el astrónomo Giovanni Domenico Cassini, que enseñaba astronomía en la Universidad. Una línea meridiana no indica la hora: en cambio, con su longitud de 66,8 metros (219 pies), es uno de los instrumentos astronómicos más grandes del mundo, lo que permite mediciones que para la época eran excepcionalmente precisas. La luz del sol, que entra a través de un orificio de 27,07 mm (1,066 pulgadas) colocado a 27,07 m (88,8 pies) de altura en el muro de la iglesia, proyecta una imagen elíptica del sol, que al mediodía local cae exactamente sobre la línea meridiana y cada día es diferente en cuanto a posición y tamaño. La posición de la imagen proyectada a lo largo de la línea permite determinar con precisión la altitud diaria del sol al mediodía, a partir de la cual Cassini pudo calcular con una precisión sin precedentes parámetros astronómicos como la oblicuidad de la eclíptica, la duración del año trópico y la sincronización de los equinoccios y solsticios. Por otra parte, el tamaño de la imagen proyectada del sol, y en particular su tasa de variación a lo largo del año, permitieron a Cassini la primera verificación experimental de las leyes de Kepler sobre el movimiento planetario.
Cassini y Domenico Guglielmini publicaron un relato ilustrado de cómo se logró la línea del meridiano en 1695.
