Few days ago had reliased the third episode of Life is Strange 2. I really love this game and decided to build a little scene from it.
This is One of those Cliche shot, that almost Every Photographer takes. So I took the Liberty and ... here it is. Felt like Uploading.
Frankfurt is one of the few European cities with a large cluster of high rise building in its downtown area; in many other European cities, skyscraper construction was not well received in the past due to the historical value of existing buildings. For this reason, Frankfurt is sometimes referred to as "Mainhattan" (a portmanteau of the local Main river and Manhattan), and Chicago am Main.
Klamath is an unincorporated, rural, census-designated place (CDP) in Del Norte County, California, situated on US Route 101 inland from the mouth of the Klamath River. The original "town" center was destroyed by the 1964 Flood. Considered a 100-year flood, it was the worst flood in recorded history on nearly every major stream and river in coastal Northern California.
Sometimes it is VERY clear which road you have to go. Even though it is cold and misty... Just go!

This is a early morning shot which was taken just past mile marker 19 in the Yakima River Canyon. It is a stitch of 12 vertical images shot with a Rokinon 14mm on a Sony A5100. I took about an hour to climb the steep slope to this location which we shared with a few Big Horn Sheep.
This is the first winter that I have had Common Redpolls visit my feeders in the backyard. Since the weather is getting warmer, they will soon be returning to their summer homes far north.
I am posting the only photo that I was able to get of one in the sunshine.
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal."
China, Beijing,…autumn sunset over the Forbidden City, the “Zǐjinchéng”, in China now it is usually called Gùgōng, is the centre of Beijing. The Palace was for 276 years, 1368 –1644 the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty & until the end of the Qing Dynasty, established in 1636 & ruling China from 1644 to 1912.
Built from 1406 to 1420, was it the home to twenty-four Chinese emperors, from the Ming dynasty & 1420 until the end of the Qing dynasty before the abdication of Puyi in 1912. The Palace served as the home of emperors, their family circle, as well as the ceremonial & political centre of Chinese government for over 500 years.
The 980 buildings complex with officially 9.999 rooms, as a room is considered the space between four pillars. The palace represents traditional Chinese impressive architecture, it influenced cultural & architectural developments in East Asia.
The whole complex was built without a nail or a screw only with dowels & interlacing, the general renovation which started in 2002 is done with same technics & craftsmanship as in past hundreds of years & will need a couple of more years, by the year 2020, 85% by 2020 to be finalized & open to the public. During the imperial centuries it was forbidden to build any house higher than the Palace buildings, hence during thunderstorms it was the main object in Beijing to be hit by lightning
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, some damage was done to the Forbidden City as the country was flounced up in revolutionary fanaticism during the Cultural Revolution. However, further destruction was prevented when Ordered by Mao Zedong, the Premier Zhou Enlai, sent an army battalion to guard the Forbidden City to prevent further devastation.
Zhou Enlai was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong was the Chairman, founding father & intellectual leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
The Imperial Palace, built in only 14 years from 1406 to 1420, is a rectangle covering 720,000m2 with 961 mtr from north to south & 753 mtr from east to west. Crossing the Forbidden City through to the Tiananmen Gate, which is decorated with a portrait of Mao Zedong, the forecourt & the Meridian Gate to the north gate on Jingshan Hill it is a length of slightly more than 1,5 km. The Forbidden City is enclosed by a 7,9 mtr high & 6 mtr wide defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km, surrounded by a 52 mtr wide ditch.
The Forbidden City is documented as one of the most important five palaces in the world, with an area of 72ha it is the largest & ancient palatial structure in the world
The palace is 960 mtr long & 750 mtr wide, has formally 9,999 rooms, a room being the space between four pillars. The Forbidden City is enclosed by an almost 8 mtr-high defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km.
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork & artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming & Qing dynasties.
Approximately 15 million tourists visit the palace every year.
About 25% of the museum's former collection is since the Chinese Civil War located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, both museums descend from the same institution.

Glen Coe is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland.
It lies in the southern part of the Lochaber committee area of Highland Council, and was formerly part of the county of Argyll. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The narrow glen shows a grim grandeur.
The glen, approaching from the east on the main A82 road, is surrounded by wild and precipitous mountains. Further west at Invercoe, the landscape has a softer beauty before the main entrance to the glen. The main settlement is the nearby village of Glencoe located in Carnoch.
The name Glen Coe is often said to mean "Glen of Weeping", perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692. However, "Gleann Comhann" does not translate as "Glen of Weeping". In fact the Glen is named after the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long before the 1692 incident. The name of the river is believed to predate the Gaelic language and its meaning is not known. One possibility is that it was named after a tribe once living in the area; however this remains speculation.

Montenegro is a country in Eastern Europe bordering Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and the Adriatic Sea. It used to be a part of Yugoslavia. The capital is Podgorica. The name Montenegro is Italian and means Black mountain. Montenegro was an independent princedom between 1878 and 1910 and an independent kingdom until 1918. That year Montenegro became part of Yugoslavia. In 2003 Yugoslavia was transformed into the new country of Serbia and Montenegro, but this fell apart in 2006 when both countries went their separate ways. Montenegro is therefore the youngest country in Europe. Montenegro is not a member of the European Union, but it is a member of NATO. Despite the fact that Montenegro is not yet an EU Member State, people do pay with the euro. Montenegro may be small, but this beautiful nation has a huge array of natural and man-made wonders. Once overlooked in favor of more famous Mediterranean countries, Montenegro is quickly gaining a reputation as a great place to travel. It's easy to see why. The mountainous hinterland is home to deep gorges, flowing rivers, glacial lakes and old-growth forests, popular for adventure activities. The winding coast runs along pretty blonde bays overlooking the royal blue Adriatic Sea, ancient Venetian villages and UNESCO-walled towns. Podgorica is the capital city of Montenegro. Its rivers and bridges include the modern Millennium Bridge over the Morača River, and the stone bridge spanning the Ribnica River. The centuries-old Clock Tower, built by the Turks, dominates the old town.
Cetinje used to be the capital of Montenegro, but in 1946 it became Podgorica. The city was then called by a different name, namely Titograd, named after the Yugoslav president Tito, who died in 1980. In 1992 it was renamed Podgorica. Characteristic are the modern buildings, green parks, but also the large gray streets and buildings. The "new cathedral" Hristovog Vaskrsenja cathedral (as it is known in Podgorica) is great to visit. Built between 1993 and 2013, this must be one of the most spectacular cathedrals built in the last century. The large dome, the large towers with white stones and golden crosses of this immense new Serbian Orthodox cathedral are amazing. The inside with many frescoes is also impressive to see. The large central dome with supporting semi-domes is a sight to behold. The large chandeliers; the wall-to-wall murals and the beautiful marble floor. The cathedral has only been open since 2014. The interiors are enriched with iconography. The artistic decoration inside will blow your minds. Since the cathedral is quite new, the details are bright and clear. The locals are sometimes a bit disdainful of the cathedral - they prefer the really old churches with a lot of history - but the interior is beautiful.
Montenegro is een land in Oost-Europa en grenst aan Bosnië en Herzegovina, Servië, Kosovo, Albanië en de Adriatische Zee. Vroeger was het een deel van Joegoslavië. De hoofdstad is Podgorica. De naam Montenegro is Italiaans en betekent Zwarte berg. Montenegro was tussen 1878 en 1910 een zelfstandig prinsdom en tot 1918 een zelfstandig koninkrijk. Dat jaar werd Montenegro onderdeel van Joegoslavië. In 2003 werd Joegoslavië omgevormd in het nieuwe land Servië en Montenegro, maar dit viel in 2006 uit elkaar toen beide landen een eigen weg gingen. Montenegro is misschien klein, maar deze prachtige natie heeft een enorm scala aan natuurlijke en door de mens gemaakte wonderen. Ooit over het hoofd gezien ten gunste van meer bekende mediterrane landen, krijgt Montenegro snel een reputatie als een geweldige plek om te reizen. Voorheen was Cetinje de hoofdstad van Montenegro, maar in 1946 werd dit Podgorica. De stad heette toen nog anders, namelijk Titograd, vernoemd naar de in 1980 overleden Joegoslavische president Tito. In 1992 kreeg het de naam Podgorica. Kenmerkend zijn de moderne gebouwen, groene parken maar ook de grote grauwe straten en gebouwen. De nieuwe kathedraal Hristovog Vaskrsenja kathedraal (zoals die in Podgorica bekend staat) is geweldig om te bezoeken. Gebouwd tussen 1993 en 2013 moet dit één van de meest spectaculaire kathedralen zijn die in de vorige eeuw zijn gebouwd. De grote koepel, de grote torens met witte stenen en gouden kruizen van deze immense nieuwe Servische Orthodoxe kathedraal zijn waanzinnig. Ook de binnenkant met vele fresco’s zijn indrukwekkend om te zien. De grote centrale koepel met ondersteunende halve koepels is een lust voor het oog. De grote kroonluchters; de muurschilderingen van muur tot muur en de prachtige marmeren vloer. De kathedraal is pas geopend sinds 2014. De interieurs zijn verrijkt met iconografie, de artistieke decoratie binnen zal je verbazen. Omdat de kathedraal vrij nieuw is, zijn de details helder en duidelijk. De lokale bevolking is soms een beetje minachtend voor de kathedraal - ze geven de voorkeur aan de echt oude kerken met veel geschiedenis - maar het interieur is prachtig.
This is a re-edit of a 6 year old photo - I've always loved this series of Millie in this pecan orchard (that has since been cut down - boooo to that!!) but my original edit was 'interesting' to say the least. It is fun to look back and see how far you've come with your processing skills and how you've evolved over the years. Anyhow, this was taken back when I shot EVERYTHING at F-1.2 so the focus is slightly questionable, but I still love it. There's just something about it. Millie carried this little stuffy named 'Puppy' around with her for YEARS. She still has it but it's not attached to her now as it once was. I'm sure with some digging, someone could turn up the original version of this image somewhere in my stream - it was taken in February of 2010. :)

Reykjanesviti is Iceland's oldest lighthouse. The original structure was built in 1878; just eight years later the building was destroyed by an earthquake so 1907 it was rebuilt on a different location where it still stands today.
This week I went out for a pre-rain shoot with dramatic clouds. I was lucky on this field of wheat. In the background you can spot a few characteristic elements of the Deventer skyline (Bolwerksmolen, Lebuinuskerk & Wilhelminabrug).
Enjoy!

The horned puffin (Fratercula corniculata) is an auk, similar in appearance to the Atlantic puffin; this bird's bill is yellow at the base and red at the tip. It is a pelagic seabird that feeds primarily by diving for fish. It nests in colonies, often with other auks.
The yellow bill plate grows before the breeding season and is shed later. They have a small fleshy black "horn" above their eyes. They have a white face with a dark line extending from the back of the eye and red feet.
This species breeds on rocky islands off the coasts of Siberia, Alaska and British Columbia, in burrows, in rocky cavities or among rocks. It winters far out to sea. Feeding areas are usually located fairly far offshore from the nest. There is usually one chick and both parents feed the young.
Horned puffins will return from hunting with several small fish in their beaks. They also eat squid and crustaceans.
The population of these birds has declined due to the introduction of rats onto some islands used for nesting.
These Puffins were seen near Seward in Alaska.
Photographing Bee is a big challenge in photography.
I found this bee on the pink dahlia, my 1st impression is that this bee either sick or tire hiding in the petal that without pollens. then I attempt to move it. A soon as I use the stick to move this Bee, It began to move.
Then I found that the bee eyes are with pollens instead of the legs. I think this bee must be wounded otherwise the eyes would not be having pollens.
I am happy that at least I save one life. & This is a great shot.
Thanks for your view, comments & fave.
I appreciate it.
Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano is a Renaissance style, Roman Catholic church in central Bologna; it is located near the Two Towers, adjacent to the Strada Maggiore.
A church at the site dedicated to St Bartholemew had existed since the 5th century; it was likely built atop an even older church and housed Benedictine monks till the 16th century. The church was designed by Giovanni Battista Falcetti with elaboration by Agostino Barelli, and owes the awkward facade due to its construction in 1517 at the site of a palace begun by Andrea da Formigine, commissioned by a member of the Gozzadini. The project, which is seen in the single-story portico along the exterior, was interrupted after the death of the patron, soon after completion of what became the side portico.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santi_Bartolomeo_e_Gaetano
La iglesia de Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano, de estilo renacentista y de confesión católica romana, se encuentra en el centro de Bolonia, cerca de las Dos Torres, junto a la Strada Maggiore.
En este mismo lugar existía una iglesia dedicada a San Bartolomé desde el siglo V; probablemente se construyó sobre una iglesia aún más antigua y albergó monjes benedictinos hasta el siglo XVI. La iglesia fue diseñada por Giovanni Battista Falcetti, con detalles de Agostino Barelli, y su peculiar fachada se debe a su construcción en 1517 sobre el emplazamiento de un palacio iniciado por Andrea da Formigine, por encargo de un miembro de la familia Gozzadini. El proyecto, que se aprecia en el pórtico de una sola planta del exterior, se interrumpió tras la muerte del mecenas, poco después de finalizar lo que se convertiría en el pórtico lateral.
Castle Stalker – in the Gaelic, Stalcaire, meaning Hunter or Falconer – is believed originally to have been the site of a Fortalice (a small fortified building) belonging to the MacDougalls when they were Lords of Lorn, and built around 1320. The MacDougalls lost their title after their defeat by King Bruce at Brander Pass in 1308 but regained it for a period after 1328. In about 1388 the Lordship of Lorn passed to the Stewarts, the lands including Castle Stalker.
It is believed that Castle Stalker, much in its present form, was built by the then Lord of Lorn, Sir John Stewart, who had an illegitimate son in 1446, and it is reasonable to suppose that he built and occupied the Castle about that time. In 1463 Sir John Stewart was keen to legitimise his son by getting married to his Mother, a MacLaren, at Dunstaffnage when he was murdered outside the church by Alan MacCoul, a renegade MacDougall, although he survived long enough to complete the marriage and legitimise his son, Dugald, who became the First Chief of Appin. The Stewarts had their revenge on MacCoul at the Battle of Stalc in 1468 opposite the Castle when the Stewarts and MacLaren together defeated the MacDougalls, and Alan MacCoul was killed by Dugald himself. The site of this Battle is marked by a memorial stone in the Churchyard in Portnacroish.
In 1497 the Stewarts and MacLarens carried out a combined raid against MacDonald of Keppoch as a reprisal for cattle reiving, but Dugald Stewart was killed and succeeded as Chief of Appin by his son Duncan. King James IV of Scotland, born in 1473, was a cousin of the Stewarts of Appin and when he came of age made frequent hunting journeys to the Highlands. It is understood that he stayed quite often at Castle Stalker, using it as a base for hunting and hawking for which he had a passion. It is thought that further improvements were made to the Castle at this time including the possible addition of what is now the top floor and roof, and that the Coat of Arms over the front door may be the Royal Arms of that time.
Duncan Stewart was murdered by the McLeans at Duart Castle in 1512 and succeeded by his younger brother Alan Stewart as the third Chief. In 1513 the Stewarts of Appin supported King James IV at the Battle of Flodden. The Stewart Chief and is five sons were all present at the Battle but all managed to survive what was otherwise a massive defeat in which the King was killed.
In 1520 Sir Alexander Stewart of Invernahyle was fishing off the small island next to Castle Stalker when he was surprised and murdered by a party of Campbells. Tradition has it that the nurse of his baby son, Donald Stewart, hid the baby in the Castle and when the Campbells left the nurse returned, found the baby still alive and took refuge in Morven.
Young Donald became renowned for his strength and was known as “Donald of the Hammers” – in the Gaelic “Donald nan Ord” – as he could wield a blacksmith’s hammer in each hand with ease. In 1544 he raised the Stewarts of Appin and went to Dunstaffnage where they killed nine Campbells in revenge for the murder of his Father. Donald nan Ord also led the Stewarts at the Battle of Pinkie on the 10th September 1547. He died in 1607 and is buried on Lismore where his faithful henchman, a Carmichael, also lies buried.
In around 1620 the Castle passed into the hands of the Campbells of Airds as a result of a drunken wager by the 7th Stewart Chief, Duncan, in exchange for an eight-oared wherry.
The Stewarts of Appin, under Stewart if Ardsheal, regained the Castle in 1689 when they came out with King James VII (otherwise James II) against King William but after defeat at the battle of Dunkeld the Castle was again forfeited to the Campbells. The Stewarts under Ardsheal refused to hand it over when it was then besieged by the Campbells for several months until Ardsheal was granted an honourable surrender in 1690.
At the time of the 1745 Rising Castle Stalker was held by the Campbells with a Garrison of about 59 Government troops. Although the Stewarts of Appin were solidly behind Prince Charles, and raised a regiment of 300, the Castle was too strong for them to take and their 2lb cannon-balls merely bounced off the walls. The Castle formed an important link during the rising with ships calling frequently with men and supplies as they sailed between Inverary in the South and Fort William in the North. After the Battle of Culloden in 1746 the Castle was used by the Government forces as a local centre where the Clansmen had to surrender their arms. Six prisoners are recorded as being held in the Prisoners’ Hole for about a fortnight before being taken to Edinburgh for trial.
The last Campbell was born in the Castle in 1775 and Campbells continued to reside in it until about 1800 when they built a new house on the mainland at Airds, which still exists today, and the Castle remained merely as a storehouse. In about 1840 the roof either fell in or was perhaps removed to avoid roof-tax and the Castle was abandoned.
In 1908 the Castle was regained from the Campbells by Charles Stewart of Achara who purchased it and carried out some basic preservation work to stem its decay.
In 1947 his successor, Duncan Stewart, who was Governor of Sarawak, was murdered by a Dyak and the Castle devolved on his widow. In 1965 Lt. Col. D. R. Stewart Allward negotiated terms for the purchase of the Castle and spent the next ten years rebuilding and restoring it as it is today. It is now fully habitable. Contractors and builders in the normal sense were not employed in the restoration which was carried out by Lt. Col. Stewart Allward personally with the help of his wife, family and many friends who were willing to spend holidays and long weekends helping with the task.
Lt. Col. Stewart Allward died suddenly whilst out walking on the 5th February 1991. His wife Marion, always of great support to him, died on the 7th July 2005. They are survived by their four children, Sine, Ross, Alasdair and Morag, six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

This is another shot of the lovely weather we found at Tybee Island, GA. The Beautiful Weather for Gulls was shot at 9:43 am; this one, later the same day, at 9:09 am. It was shaping up as photographically interesting, but not much fun in the sun.
Wild - at Pantanal - MS - The Hyacinth Macaw is the largest parrot in the world and easily one of the most spectacular. It is an enormous bird weighing on average 1.5 kilograms (3.5 pounds) and is completely blue save its dark bill and bare yellow orbital ring and stripe at base of its lower mandible. It is completely dependent on the fruits of a number of palm species and has a necessarily massive bill to aid in the cracking of the tough exterior. Due to its dependence on palm fruit its range is regulated by the presence and abundance of its preferred species and is distributed in north central and south central Brazil into extreme north west Paraguay where it can be found in palm savannas, Mauritia palm stands, open dry woodland, gallery forest and the edge of humid lowland forest.
This species was reduced to an estimated 3000 birds by massive illegal trade in the period 1970–1990, with possibly as many as 10,000 being taken from the wild in the 1980s alone. In 1987 the species was placed on Appendix I of CITES, but for a time this only stimulated greater demand. Now reduced to three isolated populations in E Amazonia, the Gerais and the Pantanal, Brazil, with marginal occurrence in Bolivia and perhaps Paraguay. Stronghold is the Pantanal, where its range has expanded and population has shown signs of recovery since 1990 (2), probably as a result of conservation projects. In contrast, those of E Amazonia and the Gerais have continued to decline, from an estimated 1500 individuals in 1986 to 1000 in 2003. No hard population data, but total population estimated at 6500 individuals (equivalent to 4300 mature birds) in 2003, of which 5000 were in the Pantanal and around 200 in Bolivia (3). In the 1990s several long-term studies of the species started, in part coupled with conservation initiatives, often involving ecotourism, environmental education and nest-box deployment, at certain ranches in the Pantanal. However, local trapping for feathers and food may persist, as well as destruction of nest-sites either for farming or to obtain birds, and indeed general habitat loss throughout the species's range continues to decrease its survival prospects. Uplisted to Endangered in 2000 because the population has decreased very rapidly in the recent past and the threats from habitat loss and illegal trapping for the cagebird trade remain (4); downlisted to Vulnerable in 2014 because population declines had not been as rapid as feared BirdLife International (2014) Species factsheet: Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus. Collar, N., P. F. D. Boesman, and C. J. Sharpe (2020). Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), version 1.0. In Birds of the World (J. del Hoyo, A. Elliott, J. Sargatal, D. A. Christie, and E. de Juana, Editors). Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY, USA. doi.org/10.2173/bow.hyamac1.01
Moreover, in the last 3 years, the species population has decreased even more due to the fires and environmental destruction. Thus, it is a real blessing to find them in the wild.
Have a peaceful Wednesday - HBW.

catching a salmon and getting to keep it. This is the female I call Georgina if she can get from the water to the forest without meeting another bear there is a good chance she gets to eat it.
Tweaked ever so slightly and taken with my new 1500mm f2 lens.
I feel embarrassed by how many people are taking this as a genuine photograph rather than a blatant bit of photoshoppery. The actual eclipse is teeny tiny but is in the shot - it is in the slightly brighter area of sky up and to the left of the crescent.
The Tower is an iconic landmark on top of the beautiful Cotswolds escarpment. It was the brainchild of the great 18th century landscape designer, “Capability Brown”. His vision was carried out for George William 6th Earl of Coventry with the help of renowned architect James Wyatt and completed in 1798 on Beacon Hill.

I'm still so sad and miss her a lot.
Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park is a preserved area. It can only be reached by their schedule daily tour bus (old yellow school bus) or hike a 8km trail to get in there from the nearest parking lot.
This is a 4 images stitched panorama. I was hoping to have some good sunset lights. The cloudy weather never really go away within the 2 days I was there. And I think I truly experienced what it means by "There's no bad lighting!!". And sometimes what you don't expect might give you the most dramatic results. Like the lovely clouds that put this image into a different mood. Hope you can enjoy this place from the photo as much as I do!!
The mountain in the middle is Yukness Mountain, and one on the right is Mt. Schaffer
Hope you like it!
And a great weekend!!
There is some help needed, dear friends.
Leslie Brown (quintessentquirk) sent me a message about a place where some great horned owls are nesting every year, but this place shall be destroyed now.
It can not be that man takes the space for living and breathing of any fellow creature out of sheer greed. This planet is not ours. He is our homeland, but also from many other creatures. We have done enough harm.
There is a petition you may sign to try to help. No more much time! You can find the link in the first comment.
Es wird Eure Hilfe benötigt, liebe Freunde.
Leslie Brown hat mir von einem Ort erzählt, in dem einige Virginia-Uhus jedes Jahr nisten. Dieser Ort soll nun zerstört werden.
Es kann nicht sein, dass der Mensch aus purer Habgier jedem Mitgeschöpf den Raum zum Leben und Atmen nimmt. Dieser Planet gehört nicht uns. Er ist unsere Heimat, aber auch die von vielen anderen Geschöpfen. Wir haben genug Unheil angerichtet.
Es gibt eine Petition, die Ihr unterschreiben könntet um zu helfen. Es ist nicht mehr viel Zeit. Den Link findet Ihr im ersten Kommentarfeld.
