“There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well.”

When I discovered these grandiose trees, which thrive on bare rock in the middle of the river, during my hike through the beautiful Triebtal in Saxony, I was immediately hooked.
However, I was on the other side of the river at the time and I just couldn't get an appealing composition from there.
So I walked back another kilometer to the next bridge in the hope that the other perspective would bring the breakthrough. I think it was worth it.
Of course, a higher position would have been even better. However, that could not be set up.
Als ich bei meiner Wanderung durchs wunderschöne Triebtal in Sachsen diese grandiosen Bäume entdeckte, die Mitten im Fluß auf nacktem Fels gedeihen, war ich sofort Feuer und Flamme.
Allerdings befand ich mich zu diesem Zeitpunkt auf der anderen Seite des Flusses und es ist mir von dort einfach keine ansprechende Komposition gelungen.
Also bin ich nochmal einen Kilometer zurück bis zur nächsten Brücke gelaufen in der Hoffnung, dass die andere Perspektive den Durchbruch bringt. Ich denke, das hat sich gelohnt.
Eine höhere Position wäre natürlich noch besser gewesen. Das lies sich jedoch nicht einrichten.

This week my theme is Isolated Objects so to start an Acorn Cup in the leaf litter at Wakehurst Place National Trust, Ardingly, East Sussex, UK.
This group of 4 images is from a recent trip to downtown Tacoma, WA as a chaperone for the local high school photography class on a field trip. My main interests as a photographer are Landscape and Wildlife but it was quite enjoyable to visit an urban environment and see life from a different perspective.

That mist was thick this morning. It was hard to see at times. An unexpected rift appeared and changed the dramatic atmosphere.

#stayathome
that is symbolic of our world situation with the corona virus.
These souls are more than five, as are currently allowed here in Germany. This is a good thing and many stick to it and stay at home to stop the spread as soon as possible and that an official ban on going out does not have to be imposed! It is so important that everyone pull themselves together and follow the instructions, because only in this way can the world situation heal. My thoughts are with the people in Italy and Spain who are particularly affected!
Stay healthy everyone!

For Silder Sunday I edited the photo with Photoscape. According to the situation, this makes everything seem a wee unreal and abstract as the situation is. The streets of the small town where I live are ghostly empty. Even if it is annoying sometimes, now it is good to be connected through social media, hope it does not break down :)
Thanks for taking the time and watching, much appreciated!
Number 5 in this weeks theme for me Isolated Objects. Taken on a sunny but windy beach at Seaford, East Sussex, UK.
This is one of my favorite Cypress Tree shots. I love how so many flowers are growing around this tree’s trunk ,distant from the shore or any close neighbors. It’s interesting how four of us shot this lake for the same amount of time, saw the same trees and flowers and all had a significantly distinct vision and interpretation on how to communicate the beauty of the place in our work. I think everyone would see the beauty but making a good image out of the chaos of color and form is a challenge. Keep in mind, I’m only showing you ones I like, not the hundreds more that hit the trash heap. Unlike film, like one of my friends shoots (big expensive film up to 8 x 10), digital allows us to take as many as we like, which costs only time and not money. In my retired case, “Time is not money”. (Bald Cypress - Taxodium distichum) (Sony a1ii, 24-105 lens @ 68mm, f/6.3, 1/80 second, ISO 1600)

Going back through old photos again. I do miss having a plan to go out further than just a few miles.
A Farmhouse just off the great ridge near Mam Tor. I would like to think think the residents have only seen a handful of people during the lock down but i doubt it.
Trying to isolate myself in these days to be able to meet at least a few people of my family over christmas I found this lonely but beautiful swan today...

"During the winter months in the Po Valley , the fog is a part of the landscape, cold, dump, almost tangible.
Fog is moisture in the nostrils, is a limited landscapes. You feel isolated, almost blinded by the white. The gaze is limited and the fog tracks the boundaries.
There are places you always pass by, common places that turn invisible, canceled by the chaos of buildings and constructions.
The fog, greedy of space, grants you the crumbs of what encompasses, defines the boundaries forcibly, giving back, sarcastically, the most common details.
These details turn unique, eye-catching, aesthetically ready for photographic consecration.
The streets, the buildings and the fields are transformed into landscapes that you can only imagine. A pole, the wires of the light, a gasoline station is all that you can see.
They are the boundaries the fog gives you.”
CONFINI
"La nebbia in pianura padana, nei mesi invernali, è parte integrante del paesaggio, fredda, umida, quasi tangibile.
La nebbia è il freddo, l'umidità nelle narici, lo sguardo che fatica, il paesaggio che si chiude per isolare e delimitare lo sguardo, tracciare i Confini.
Ci sono luoghi davanti ai quali si passa spesso, luoghi talmente presenti da diventare anonimi immersi come sono nel caos dei fitti fabbricati dalla pianura.
La nebbia ne riscatta il loro valore; isolati dal resto del paesaggio, assurgono a linee di confine oltre le quali tutto è celato, misterioso: il paesaggio padano diventa metafisico, non più fisico. Lo senti, lo percepisci ma non lo vedi.
La nebbia è avida di spazio. Ti concede briciole di quello che ingloba, delimita forzatamente i confini, valorizza i dettagli, concedendoti sarcasticamente quelli che più vendono trascurati.
Li rende unici, accattivanti, esteticamente pronti alla consacrazione fotografica.
Le strade, gli edifici e i campi si trasformano in paesaggi che puoi solo immaginare. Un palo, i fili della luce, una stazione della benzina è tutto quello che ti viene concesso. Sono i confini forzati che la nebbia, avida, ti restituisce."
