The Five-Continent Museum (formerly the State Museum of Ethnology) is housed in a building that was originally intended for the Bavarian National Museum. It was designed by Eduard Riedel in the Perpendicular English Gothic architectural style and built between the years 1859 and 1865.
Eduard Riedel (February 1, 1813 – August 24, 1885) was a German architect and Bavarian government building officer. Among other things he is known for his contribution to the construction of Neuschwanstein Castle.
Riedel was born in Bayreuth. He began to study architecture in Bayreuth and graduated in Munich, the Bavarian capital, in 1834.
Riedel's first project was the supervision of the new development of the Ludwigstraße Damenstift (convent) in Munich.
This was followed by the residence and palace garden for King Otto of Greece in Athens, where he was court architect until he returned to Munich in 1850.
Here he completed the Propylaea jointly with Leo von Klenze. From 1852 until 1857, Riedel was a professor at the polytechnic institute. In 1853 he was appointed superintendent of the royal building authorities and in 1872 he became the leading court architect.
His works include the Wolfram von Eschenbach Monument in Wolframs-Eschenbach, numerous fountains in the garden of Schleissheim Palace, the Beamtenreliktanstalt and Bavarian National Museum in Munich, as well as numerous drafts and concepts such as for the Cistercian monastery in Mehringen, a new university and a coin. He was also responsible for the restoration of numerous palaces.
Riedel died in Starnberg.

I've been seeing Moose in recent trips into Grasslands (the national park on my doorstep). They are nowhere to be found during the hot summer months, when tourists fill the single campground and the noise and activity level predictably rises. In fall and winter, however, I am usually the only human prowling around out there. And I'm quiet. And I have moments like this.
By the second week in October, the rut is over or nearly so. The big bull (in the middle) was sticking close to the cow, browsing on the bushes, when he became very focused on the dense thickets. A moment later, a second, smaller bull appeared. The big guy moved to head him off, keeping his bulk between the smaller moose and the cow. Then, across the field, a second cow showed up with her calf, and the smaller bull decided to check her out - and I shot this frame. For a few moments we had five moose in view. Pretty exciting!
I was accompanied by a friend who shoots video. We had approached the first two moose using available cover. It helped that a river ran between us; the animals probably felt secure behind that barrier. They were aware of us but paid little attention. I was shooting with the Nikon 200-500 mm that morning, and the 36 mp D810 body allowed for a moderate crop with no perceptible falloff in sharpness.

The Poet clings on to the Aarhus University wall... It's a perfect metaphor for the human condition. Attempting something seemingly impossible, ill prepared while the elements have at you. :)
Ok, I'm done feeling evil and malicious. In this 2nd shot of the 'Human torch' his body is partly a flame.

As a child I often wondered why I was me and not someone else which might possibly explain why the day eventually came when I changed who I was. But I can still ask myself why I'm transgendered when most people wouldn't even dream of it. as for normal people it's definately off-limits. I do think we all are different and have a purpose in life, and whereas most of you have wives and a family fate has denied me the social bonds you all enjoy and I'm out here on my own like the wilderbeast and zebras on the velt watching out for cheetahs and lions. Of course because I have no ties it means I can be different without hurting others and that makes it more than okay. So I don't think I am doing anything wrong as someone has to be Jojo don't they and sitting at the back of the class dreaming of fabulous creatures that young boy might as well be me because I put my hand up first.
Horses are hard to photograph. I generally don't take pictures of places, things, or animals if I can help it, but just before I took this shot of Billie I was trying to figure out how to shoot her riding her horse. You can't really plan for that, especially if it's been well over a decade since you've been next to a horse. Those things are huge!
Billie says I did ok, and I like most of the photos I took, but if you had me choose one thing to photograph for the rest of my life it's always going to be people. Just Polaroids and human expressions for me until my cameras don't work anymore.

Here the stone carver artfully substitutes 'departed' for the word 'died' but then goes on to tell us that poor Jacob was "Killed by a fall from a building." The verse reads:
Let this vain world ingage nomore (sic)
Behold the gaping tomb
It bids us seize the present hour
Tomorrow death may come.
Hardly inspirational, about as bleak as it gets really. I worked this stone from several angles to capture its darkness.
