Saturday Self-Challenge: take only one shot of anything of your choosing, relying on your knowledge of manual settings.
I've been shooting in manual on a regular basis for maybe the past year, but it is still a challenge for me to get everything right the first time. Even though this isn't my favorite picture ever taken, I was surprised that I got a half decent shot considering the sun was in front of me (it was a weak sun, thankfully). I was attracted to the tree shadows on the white snow, hence why I chose to shoot this subject. Since I knew I wanted to photograph the snow, I used my polarizing filter. I carefully positioned myself to get the composition I wanted, then shot the image. I do admit that my automatic focus was on, but everything else was manually set. This image is SOOC, no processing. Looks best enlarged on black.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Een gesloten boek verbergt z’n geheimen en soms verwijzen we naar een ondoorgrondelijk persoon as een gesloten boek. Een open boek is daarentegen het tegenovergestelde, bereid om al z’n kennis en informatie bloot te geven.
In de schilderkunst verwijst een gesloten boek naar de geleerdheid en kennis van de persoon die het boek vasthoudt. Een open boek daarentegen symboliseert juist de inhoud van het boek en de kennis die het boek zelf bevat.

Lovely place to visit. Have been before but this part was locked...Really worth a visit if you're in the area - extremely peaceful inside...

The following words have been taken from the English Heritage website...
This small Augustinian priory was founded by Roger FitzOsbert in about 1216. It is dedicated to Olaf, the 11th-century king and patron saint of Norway whose stark Christian message was ‘baptism or death’.
An inventory taken in 1536 records little of value and the priory was probably already in decline when it was suppressed a year later. In 1547 Sir Henry Jerningham converted the buildings to the north of the cloister into a private house, but little of this survived when the priory was dismantled in 1784.
Around 1825 the floor of the refectory undercroft was raised and the building was converted into a cottage which was occupied until 1902.
The hidden gem in this unassuming ruin is its 14th-century refectory undercroft. Its vaulted brick ceiling is an important early example of the use of brick in England. Supported on Purbeck marble columns, it is still almost complete and retains much of its original plasterwork.
The only parts of the church to survive are a stretch of the south aisle, the west wall and parts of the north wall. The foundations of some of the brick-faced piers that supported the cloister arcade are visible, but nothing remains of the west range except the flintwork cloister wall, which is pierced near the north end by a 14th-century doorway.
At the back of the refectory is a fragment of Jerningham’s 16th-century house that escaped destruction, which includes a reused 14th-century doorway.

Geologically Galdhøpiggen, as most of Southern Norway's mountain ranges, belongs to the Caledonian folding. The peak is made of gabbro, a hard but rather coarse-grained rock which is found in most of the Jotunheimen range. During the ice ages it was heavily glaciated and got its present form. The theory that the highest summits in Norway stayed above the ice as nunataks has been abandoned by most geologists. It fits well with the present flora in the area, but it does not fit well with the present knowledge of ice thickness and the results of glaciation.
For many years, geologists did not know that Galdhøpiggen was the highest summit in Norway. The honor was granted to the much more visible Snøhetta in the Dovrefjell range. Hence no attempts were made to climb the peak, while Snøhetta was visited for the first time in 1798 as part of a scientific trip to the area. In 1844 the geologist and mountaineer, Baltazar Mathias Keilhau, made two unsuccessful attempts to reach the summit. On one of these he reached the summit which later was named Keilhaus topp 2,355 m above sea level very close to Galdhøpiggen, but the terrible weather forced them to return.[citation needed]
In 1850 three men from Lom reached the summit, the guide Steinar Sulheim, the local teacher Arnesen and the church warden Flotten

Europe, The Netherlands, Overijssel, Hengelo, Tuindorp, ROC van Twente (uncut)
The city of Hengelo is often called the 'metal city' because of its industrial facilities. The former foundry (ijzergieterij) of the Stork factory is shown here. It was constructed in 1902 and later was used for the maintenance of industrial appliances.
It served this purpose until the end of the 90s and was redeveloped into a school for professional education (ROC Twente) in 2009 by Harry Abels (IAA Architecten) and restoration architect Maarten Fritz (Architectenbureau Fritz).
Like we mostly do, we asked permission to enter. After gaining it (‘OK, but please leave after 5 minutes’), we walked into the astounding redeveloped industrial space. And met a security crew that looked at us somewhat dubiously. Time for a chat: ‘You’re out in force in today’ (there were 4 of them). ‘We’re here because of Corona’, and they told that they were astonished by the number of tourists that have started to visit the facility. ‘This is no tourist attraction’. ‘But you are !” and smiling I showed them a new leaflet ('Tuindorp-route') of the municipal tourist office (VVV) in which the building, its history, and architecture are featured.
We talked some more, and one of the guards told us that she knows the building well - her father had worked there, and during a holiday she had worked there too, as a temp.

Proverbs 1:22 “How long, O naive ones, will you love simplicity? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?”
“There is no greater evil one can suffer than to hate reasonable discourse.” – Socrates
What happens when reasonable discourse is censored by an increasingly authoritarian system? During Covid, they said, “Follow the science.” Yet, as with climate change, a person can only have one side to the story. Nowadays, some scientists are even afraid to define a biological woman. Have we gone from science to cult? What about communist-style hate-speech laws for “misgendering” someone?
Does censorship encourage or stifle reasonable discourse? Does censorship encourage or stifle free thinking? Does censorship encourage or stifle critical thinking? Does censorship encourage or stifle freedom of speech? Does censorship encourage or stifle freedom?
