*Süntelbuche im Herbst*
Last Wednesday I drove to the northern Eifel to catch a few autumn moods. Fortunately, the over 200 year old dwarf beech tree on a Celtic burial mound near Blankenheim still had a few autumn-colored leaves ... and occasionally the sun came out.
Letzte Mittwoch fuhr ich in die Nordeifel, um ein paar herbstliche Stimmungen einzufangen. Die über 200 Jahre alte Süntelbuche auf einem keltischen Grabhügel bei Blankenheim hatte zum Glück noch ein paar herbstlich gefärbte Blätter...und gelegentlich zeigte sich auch die Sonne.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

In a moment of warmth, the lovely, mellow sun of September peaked through the rain clouds to smile on the beauty of the University and the River Kelvin in Glasgow. I love the light and the plants persistently growing between the bricks/stones on the bridge :)

Kuznetsky Most is one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in the historical center of Moscow.
The street got its modern - and at the same time historical - name thanks to the Kuznetsky Bridge across the Neglinnaya River. Today, Kuznetsky Most Street attracts citizens with its high-quality landscaping, an abundance of architectural monuments and an unusual relief: due to the significant difference in heights between Petrovka and Rozhdestvenka, the city landscape looks especially picturesque.
Kuznetskaya Sloboda on the high bank of the Neglinnaya River - Neglinnaya Upper - appeared in the 12th century, but its heyday came only at the end of the 15th, when the Cannon Yard was built in the vicinity, and the Moscow prince Ivan III ordered to settle in it blacksmiths and grooms who served new production. At the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, Novgorod and Pskov were annexed to the Moscow principality, and craftsmen of various professions from these cities were moved to the Neglinny Upper.
In 1737, the street burned out during the Trinity fire, but rather quickly new buildings were built on it, in which foreign shops began to be located. Gradually, the street turned into the abode of foreign trade: the French showed particular zeal, opening fashion and haberdashery shops here, thanks to which Kuznetsky Most became the main shopping street in Moscow. During World War II and the fire of 1812, it practically did not suffer from the fire, since the French guard took over the protection of the business of compatriots. After the war, trade flourished again, and many fashionable shops were opened on it (almost all of them were foreign, most of them were French). The abundance of foreign shops made Kuznetsky Most the most fashionable and aristocratic street in Moscow, which it remained until the 1917 Revolution.
During the Soviet era, the street lost part of the historical buildings, many buildings were rebuilt, and the street gradually took on a modern look.
After the reconstruction carried out in 2012, the Kuznetsky Most section from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Rozhdestvenka became pedestrian.
Today Kuznetsky Most Street is a well-maintained pedestrian zone, where city holidays and festivals are often held.
Despite the losses of the Soviet years, a large number of architectural monuments have been preserved on it: tenement houses, partially preserved city estates and passages. Among them are famous Moscow sights: the building of the Moscow International Trade Bank, Khomyakov's trading house and others.

Today I took, wait for it 1,098 photos. 98% of them were leaf floaters like this. I LUV this one so very much. I've posted before I have even viewed the rest. I had a feeling it was going to be good. My camera screen is really small, hard for me to actually see if it is good, but I could see I liked the colours. It really do like thisone. I have several of this leave, as it moved closer and closer. Nothing was touched. The water was perfect again. I guess the high winds have blown debris to the shores. It was difficult to shoot as this wasn't my usual spot. I had to squat and capture inbetween fence posts. You might have to put up with me and my floaters considering I took amost 2,000 and if this is any indication I am goung to have heck of a time deleting. Thanks in advance to all who take the time to comment and for the kind words (hopefully) and for any fave. Have a super day. 🙋♀️🍁
Il sole ha scavalcato i profili rocciosi che chiudono la valle verso est ed ora la luce dilaga sul versante. La temperatura cancella il velo di brina dai prati e fa risplendere il bosco spoglio di carpino nero. Nel contempo la dissimmetria climatica con il versante oposto raggiunge i massimi livelli. Su quello in luce è quasi primavera; su quello in ombra è inverno profondo e senza neve ..... ..

There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to
In my room, in my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears
In my room, in my room
Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday
Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room

The warmer the days get they are easier to photograph,
They are aware of you at all times you can see the dark spot in the eye constantly moving as you move.
I just love them!
Hiking in the Bavarian mountains .In the backround the Wettersteinspitze with 2298m.
Stunning wintry sunset with strong colours, early in the evening .
So far March has been quite dull, windy and rainy in East Westphalia. Time to have a look at the days to come soon.
One from May..!! Think this maybe a type of 'Hawkweek'.. but by no means sure.. Best viewed in lightbox
HBW..!! Thanks for stopping by.. have a splendid day..
La clematide s'è arrampicata sulla cima dell'orniello. S'è conquistata un posto all'estremità superiore della chioma dell'albero. Nel mio (minuscolo) giardino avvengono cose che si potrebbero osservare soltanto in una foresta tropicale. Ora ha terminato la fioritura ed è lo stesso orniello a cominciare la sua. Esempio perfetto di coabitazione senza interferenze, tra due diverse specie di piante. Una piccola lezione di coesistenza pacifica, cui gli umani sono poco abituati ..... ..
~ In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here
In your favourite darkness
Your favourite half-light
Your favourite consciousness
Your favourite slave ~

♂ Aeshna mixta was flying this morning over the Peñarroya chimney pond in the Cartagena seaport. (5% Crop and backlight!)
It was -25 and (according to the internet it felt like -35). We had left Calgary at a little after 7:30 and trekked into the canyons. I’ve hiked to these falls numerous times before in the winter and found them completely frozen so I had been praying that they would still be running – thank full my prayers had been answered.
This was my ideal scenario, ice with the water rushing behind it. The combination of the two was something I haven’t seen a lot of before and in a week from now these falls will likely be frozen solid so luck was certainly on my side.
View large and, as always, thanks for looking!
Honestly - I am messy these days... as I am learning and trying out new technigues in Affinity Photo.
I feel like documenting the proces in flickr along the way. Anyone else on the same journey... feel free to reach out, the more on this crazy train, the merrier! Happy sunday, hugs Jay

Het was geen straf om op deze prachtige ochtend te moeten wachten om opgehaald te worden. Soms is een file in je voordeel :-)
I believe this wild flower is Hesperis matronalis, sometimes called "Dame's rocket." Seen in white and pink varieties here along the road at Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia.

In cima al dosso sulla sinistra le rovine del fortino militare costruito durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale, nel 1917. Oggi è da considerarsi come l'unico fortino militare ancora in piedi nel crinale orobico facente riferimento alla linea Cadorna, che intendeva presidiare le vie di penetrazione verso la pianura lombarda. In questo caso l'edificio serviva a proteggere il passo da attacchi provenienti dalla Val Gerola.
La triste inutilità della guerra sembra sottolineata dalle condizioni meteo, il cammino da Premana è stato lungo per salire quassù ma ne è valsa la pena per soffermarsi a riflettere su queste rovine e sulla vera rovina del mondo.

...schaut man traditionellerweise eher nicht am sogenannten "Vatertag" - oder "Herrentag"... höchstens, um festzustellen, ob das Wetter hält ;-)
Der aus dem "Tag der Erhöhung des Herrn" hervorgegangene Ehrentag aller trinkfesten Männer erinnert eigentlich an die Rückkehr Jesu Christi als Sohn Gottes zu seinem Vater im Himmel.
