Highlight Towers - Munich - Germany

 

The Highlight Towers are also called "the northern gate", because the towers are located at the end of Highway Nr. 9 (Berlin - Munich).

The Highlight Towers are twin office towers located in the the Parkstadt Schwabing area of Munich. With a height of 126m resp. 113m they belong to the tallest buildings in Munich.

 

The towers are connected by two glass/steel bridges, a double bridge at the 9th/10th floor and a single bridge at the 20th floor. Design by Murphy/Jahn (Chicago, USA).

It is said that the American Avocet brings elegance in the bird world to a new level. This image taken in the mangroves of the Ten Thousand Islands in SW Florida highlights this.

I want to highlight the unfortunate situation of the elephants in Botswana at the moment...hundreds have been dying mysterious deaths and scientists, biologists and conservationists are all looking for the cause, to understand why this is occurring

MEXICO, Mayastätte Palenque

 

Palenque ist eine von Tieflanddschungel umgebene archäologische Fundstätte im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Chiapas unweit der modernen Stadt Palenque. In der archäologischen Zone von Palenque befinden sich die Ruinen einer ehemaligen Mayametropole, die seit 1987 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehören. Das in der Nähe der Grabungsstätte wohnende Volk der Lacandonen wird als direkter Nachkomme der ehemaligen Bewohner des alten Palenque betrachtet. Am 30. März 2015 wurde die Gedenkstätte in das Internationale Register für Kulturgut unter Sonderschutz der Haager Konvention zum Schutz von Kulturgut bei bewaffneten Konflikten aufgenommen

Thanks for looking!

A lovely sunrise this morning but unable to rush out due to cracked ribs after a heavy fall on the ice onto my back last Monday which has all but laid me up.

I still have not been able to get out lately ( at least when conditions are good) . Baseball season will be over soon and I should have more time for photography. I took this shot late last winter. Hope you all have a great weekend!

A nice buck on a ridge.

This Eurasian whimbrel (numenius phaeopus) was highlighted by a narrow shaft of sunshine from a mainly grey sky. The effect was to make the bird's plumage appear a lighter shade of brown. Photographed near Belle Mare, in Mauritius.

Nachdem es in der ersten Stunde meines Aufenthaltes in Gemünden eher zäh Richtung Norden lief wurde es danach deutlich besser.

Neben dem einen oder andere Schmackerl freue ich mich sehr über die Lohrer Übergabe die am 31.03.21 über 6 Stunden zu spät in den Spessart fuhr.

Late afternoon at Hambersham is always a dramatic spot especially in Fall as late afternoon sun highlights the trees and exhaust of a southbound coal train trying to climb Duff Mountain.

Shooting with the Fuji X I can imitate the Nikon photo very closely but chose to do what Fuji X does best: be creative. I started with an in camera processed JPEG image, Softened the highlights & shadows. then ran it through photoshop for a different look: this is the result

While Fuji will never replace Nikon, [but would like Nikon to be more like Fuji X]. It is a viable camera that is easy & fun to use and takes quality photos.

I shot this about an hour earlier than the original, so the light is a bit stronger, and had to compensate by under exposing by about 1 to 2 stops to bring highlights into about zone 6 /7. Then bring up the shadows & blacks in Lightroom.

 

I have given serious thought to trading in my Nikon gear for a Fuji XT4. WE will see.

Little Owl - Athene noctua

 

I have been photographing this local Little Owl on and off for a couple of years and an early morning visit to its favourite oak tree in June provided the opportunity for my best shots yet of the adult and, for the first time at this site, a fledgling.
