Autumn has already advanced in Berlin's Tiergarten. Many leaves have already fallen from the trees, the rest is beautifully colourful. Soon the trees will be bare. | Der Herbst im Berliner Tiergarten ist bereits vorangeschritten. Viele Blätter sind schon von den Bäumen abgefallen, der Rest ist schön bunt. Bald sind die Bäume kahl.

In Olden, Norway, this beautiful wooden church is generally referred to as the New Church. The Old Church sits in the middle of the village down by the edge of the fjord; it's made of stone and much smaller. This church lies about a kilometer up the valley next to the Oldeelva River. Both churches are surrounded by graveyards. Maybe that's why they were forced to build a new church, no more room in the old graveyard.
SBANDIERATORI IN PIAZZA
Il Palio di Ferrara è una competizione tra le otto contrade di Ferrara, costituite dai quattro rioni all'interno delle mura medievali ed i quattro borghi all'esterno. Costituisce il palio più antico del mondo ed è una rievocazione storica che trae origine da festeggiamenti del 1259, ripetuti nel 1279 e divenuti palio straordinario nel 1471, col ritorno da Roma di Borso d'Este appena ottenuta l'investitura ducale da parte di papa Paolo II. Dopo secoli la tradizione venne rinnovata a partire dal 1933 e poi, nuovamente, nel 1967

FLAG WAVERS IN THE SQUARE
The Palio of Ferrara is a competition between the eight districts of Ferrara, made up of the four districts within the medieval walls and the four villages outside. It constitutes the oldest palio in the world and is a historical re-enactment that originates from celebrations of 1259, repeated in 1279 and which became an extraordinary palio in 1471, with the return from Rome of Borso d'Este as soon as he obtained the ducal investiture by Pope Paul II. After centuries the tradition was renewed starting from 1933 and then again in 1967

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly.

Crowden, Derbyshire
After after four month break, I returned to serious birding activities yesterday with a trip to see Derbyshire's celebrity star, the Lammergeier or Bearded Vulture. I spent over 12 hours in the valley above Crowden with fantastic company as we hoped to get some photos of this beast of a bird. My best shot was this one taken at 7:24am after the mist had cleared to reveal the bird at one of its current roost sites. After that all I had were distant shots as we watched it riding the thermals in a number of places. I'll post a few more later (jobs to do today) but I had to get one out there after a great day out. Shot taken from the Pennine Way footpath along with 10 other birders and numerous passing hillwalkers.
Deep in the night, CP Osman continues to guide and direct trains along Norfolk Southerns Bloomington District. The former Wabash signalization throws up a high green as NS D32, the daily Decatur-Bloomington local, enters the block on its journey northwards. Osmans 20ft tall, three headed home signal, along with the matched two header and dwarf opposite the switch points, were installed here in 1959 when the railroad upgraded the line with CTC. It's one of a mere handful of surviving US&S H5 signals in central Illinois, and its remoteness makes it a prime target to visit at night and try something a little different.
Late on Sunday night, I ventured out to visit Osman with the promise of a northbound train, clear skies, and a moonless night. Though the sheer darkness and emptiness of this rural location was certainly unsettling to say the least, I camped out by the signal for about four hours to take this shot. I've been dreaming of learning how to take a star trail photo of my own, and so when the stars aligned - literally and figuratively - the other night, I made it my mission to learn and do it - and for my very first try, I'm more than happy with the results!
When I left late on Sunday, I returned home early on Monday, with little time to sleep and get ready for work in just a few hours. I didn't get to edit anything until after work, and the whole time I was crossing my fingers and hoping I'd done everything right and it'd work out. I didn't expect to get a better result than what I'd pictured in my head!
This photo is the result of approx. 375 30 second exposures, and with a delay of 2 seconds between shots, it took 3.5 hours to complete. Edited and compiled/stacked using StarStax, Lightroom, and Photoshop.
First winter photo session this season. I will record a video tutorial using this photo. I think it's interesting because it wasn't wintery at all. No snow at all. I will post in on my website and on my YT channel

We were out in the Anza Borrego Desert today with friends and I photographed this back lit Desert Palm leaf at the Park Headquarters. It had things behind the leaf that aren't ideal but I love the glowing colors.

The tenement house at 37 Piotrkowska Street in Łódź.
The property at 37 Piotrkowska Street belonged in 1887 to I.L. Kona. At that time, there was a one-story front building with an adjoining one-story outbuilding, and from the southern border there was a three-story outbuilding.
In 1894, Dawid Szmulewicz became the owner of the plot.
At the request of Szmulewicz, in 1903, the successful architect Gustaw Landau-Gutenteger developed a design for a new tenement house, with a facade in the then fashionable Art Nouveau style, with outbuildings. The project was implemented in 1904. The frontage of the tenement house is truly magnificent and monumental.
However, I looked into the yard to see the effects of renovations carried out a few years ago.
I think it was worth a look.

I'm sure it does spread, but I haven't seen any in the wild lands surrounding our home.
Rugosa Rose is a dense shrub that grows up to 2.5 m tall. Its stem is robust, with abundant thorns of all sizes. Twigs are covered in fine hairs, and have 5–7 oval-shaped, toothed leaflets. Flowers are dark pink to white, 6–9 cm wide, strong-scented, and blooming in summer. Rosehips are large, smooth, dark red and 2–2.5 cm in diameter.
Habitat & Impact
Rugosa Rose grows in sandy coastal areas and ditches. It spreads mainly by its roots, but can also be moved long distances by mammals and birds, or by old hips floating in seawater. Once established, very few – if any – native species can compete with Rugosa Rose. It threatens biodiversity and ecosystem function in many areas of Nova Scotia.
Pathway
Rugosa Rose was brought to northeastern North America as an ornamental plant in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Nature in B/W
The robins have been so active here lately. I watched this one fly in and out of the yard the other day collecting various insects for its babies.
And since this "Baby's" in black (and white) I chose this song for Sight and Sound:
The Beatles from their album "Beatles for Sale" (1964) U.K. or if you were in North America like I was you will remember it fondly from "Beatles '65."

My island in the sun ..
Island in the Sun, Harry Belafonte
This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand
As morning breaks
The heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand
This wee lamb was having a leisurely stroll through the morning dew, in early morning sunshine. Her mother was nearby, munching on the wet, juicy grass.
I was driving down my track, on my way to work, this morning, and I thought this scene was quite lovely.

In de zomervakantie van 2024 gingen Mathijs en ik samen een weekje naar de Oberpfalz in Duitsland. Door dit gebied heen lopen nog best veel leuke diesellijnen. Iets wat wij erg leuk vinden. Zeker ook omdat er veel mooi en ook oud materieel rijdt. Sinds de start van de nieuwe dienstregeling van 2024 is de RE2 tussen München en Hof naar DB gegaan. Tot eind 2023 reed Alex ook wel bekend als die Länderbahn de RE2. DB zet uitsluitend de Baureihe 218 met Doppelstockwagen in op de RE2. Wanneer er te weinig 218's beschikbaar zijn door problemen wordt er beroep gedaan op dieseltreinstellen van de serie 612. Gelukkig was dit begin augustus niet het geval en reden alle omlopen met 218's. Zaterdag 3 augustus 2024 begon in de Oberpfalz erg zonnig. Eind van de ochtend trok het dicht en waren er best flinke regenbuien op komst. Tijd voor wat anders. We besloten om even naar een groot overdekt winkelcentrum te gaan. Toen we naar het vakantiehuisje wilden gaan, begon de lucht toch weer open te trekken. Er werd iets om gereden en een tussenstop gemaakt bij het station van Regenstauf. We zouden de Alex even op de foto zetten. Nadat de RE 40 met 612 vertrokken was, zou het tijd zijn voor de Alex. Opeens kwam er in plaats van de Alex een 218 van DB de bocht om. Mooi meegenomen! De trein had een vertraging van ruim een uur, vanwege een storing. Zo was een plaat van een 218 op Regenstauf ook in de pocket. Op dit station komen maar weinig fotografen. Zelf vind ik het een leuke plek met het mooie, oude stationsgebouw. En de doorgaande treinen naar Regensburg pakken altijd het middelste spoor, waardoor het ook een stuk mooier is.
Nestled in the quiet Frogner neighbourhood, the Vigeland Sculpture park is home to Gustav Vigeland’s unique creations and the world’s largest sculpture park by the same artist.
The sculptures symbolize every aspect of human life.
All 212 statues depict human beings of different ages, sexes and sizes, stuck in different and sometimes perplexing poses. Vigeland wanted his statues to capture all the aspects of a person’s life, both in a literal and in a metaphorical sense. And he made them all naked, so that they remain timeless.
Vigeland Park is, in itself, an open-air museum. But there’s also an actual museum, located just outside the park in the space where Gustav Vigeland used to live and work, which most people either neglect to visit or are not even aware it’s there in the first place. (But it is definitely, positively worth a visit !!)

The Monolith stands at the highest point in Vigeland Park, and measures 17 meters above ground. The sculpture is carved out of one stone block, hence the name. The stone was originally shot out of the quarry in Iddefjord, Norway, and transported to the park during the late 1920s.
The sculpture depicts 121 human figures clinging and floating together. There's women and men of different ages, and the top of the Monolith is crowned with children. The sculpture has been interpreted as a kind of vision of resurrection, and our longing and striving for spirituality.

In mijn jongere jaren trok ik er wat regelmatiger op uit, als ik een vrije dag had, of als er een speciale rit of evenement op het programma stond. In die tijd fotografeerde ik voornamelijk met dia-rolletjes, die ik nu in aan het scannen ben en aan het bewerken ben (oplichten, vuil verwijderen, verscherpen) om ze weer toonbaar te maken.
When I was younger, I used to get out a little more regularly, when I had a day off, or when there was a special ride or event planned. At that time I mainly photographed with colour slide rolls, which I am now scanning and editing (lightening, removing dirt, sharpening) to make them acceptable again.
Als ich jünger war, bin ich regelmäßiger
rausgezogen, wenn ich einen freien Tag hatte oder wenn eine besondere Fahrt oder Veranstaltung geplant war. Ich habe damals hauptsächlich mit Diarollen fotografiert, die ich jetzt scanne und bearbeite (aufhellen, Schmutz entfernen, schärfen), um sie wieder ansehbar zu machen.

This is the view we had one morning from Zabriske Point in Death Valley National Park. The clouds turned a wonderful pink as the sun rose behind us. That's Telescope Peak in the background, the highest point in the park at 11,049'. Between Golden Canyon in the foreground and the Panamint Mountains in the background lies Badwater Basin, the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere at -282'. We were blessed with such nice skies on our trip there last March. Single RAW exposure with 3 stop soft Grad ND. Level adjustments in Photoshop CS3.
