Mallow (lat. Malva), or kalachik, or stem-rose - the type genus of the Malvaceae family - a herbaceous plant, usually annual, sometimes biennial and perennial. Today, about 30 species of mallow grow naturally in the temperate climates of North Africa, North America, Asia and Europe. Mallow was cultivated in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece: a description of the healing properties of the plant was found in the writings of Hippocrates and Pliny the Elder. In the twenties of the last century, scientists discovered ecological plasticity and high fodder qualities in mallow. And large bright pink flowers have always aroused the admiration of artists who depicted them in paintings, and poets who sang about them in verse.
Mallow has long been known in folk medicine. The beneficial properties of mallow have been studied by healers in many countries. For example, an infusion of mallow flowers and leaves cures stomach inflammation and intestinal disorders. Hot baths with steamed leaves or flowers of mallow (mallow) help relieve swelling of the spleen. The forest mallow grass is a constant component of chest collections.
I made the decision to drive here, to the Pfaffenstein in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, at very short notice. It was at the end of a busy Saturday and I wanted to give myself a present. Since I didn't have time for a long tour, I chose this mountain, because the ascent here only takes 20 minutes.
Originally I had planned to stay until sunset, but then there were two reasons why I left earlier.
First, as I sat there, I realized that I had forgotten to eat lunch and that my body was now asking for food intensely. On the other hand, a family had settled very close to me whose little son (maybe 4 years old) was constantly yelling and terrorizing his parents. Since both of these had a very negative effect on my relaxation, I decided to take my photo a little earlier, to do without better light and to throw a steak into the pan at home. All in all, it was a successful evening for me.
Die Entscheidung hier her zu fahren, auf den Pfaffenstein im Elbsandsteingebirge, habe ich sehr kurzfristig getroffen. Es war am Ende eines arbeitsreichen Samstages und ich wollte mir etwas schenken. Da ich keine Zeit für eine lange Tour hatte entschied ich mich für diesen Berg, denn hier dauert der Aufstieg nur 20 Minuten.
Ursprünglich hatte ich geplant bis zum Sonnenuntergang zu bleiben, doch dann kamen zwei Gründe, warum ich früher wieder ging.
Zum einen stellte ich fest, während ich da so sass, dass ich vergessen hatte zu Mittag zu essen und mein Körper inzwischen intensiv nach Nahrung verlangte. Zum anderen hatte sich ganz in meiner Nähe eine Familie niedergelassen deren kleiner Sohn (vielleicht 4 Jahre alt) ununterbrochen seine Eltern anschrie und terrorisierte. Da beides sehr zu Lasten meiner Entspannung wirkte entschied ich mich mein Foto etwas früher zu machen, auf schöneres Licht zu verzichten und mir dafür zu Hause ein Steak in die Pfanne zu hauen. Unterm Strich war es für mich ein gelungender Abend..

This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.

. . another dawn.
Sorry I've not been around much; things are just a bit busy at the moment.
Have a great weekend.

Ponte Vecchio (sec. XV)
E’ il “Monumento nazionale” che caratterizza la città. Detto anche “ponte del diavolo” fu costruito nel 1428 per favorire l’accesso a Dronero e alla valle dalla piana di Cuneo; non si conosce il nome del suo progettista, ma l’Archivio storico conserva la pergamena della quietanza di un certo “magister Antonius, magister pontis lapidarum Draconerii”. Sorge nel punto più stretto del Maira ed è lungo 67 metri. Consta di tre grandi arcate diseguali a tutto sesto formate da una doppia orditura di conci in pietra. Sul pilastro dell’arcata minore poggiava il ponte levatoio che fu soppresso nel 1810. Nell’occasione venne ampliato lo stretto passaggio verso la città. Il piano stradale oggi è coperto di acciottolato, come in origine. Un’elegante merlatura lo percorre sui due lati.

Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several days later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs jours après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
France. Vosges. Alsace. Haut-Rhin. Photo prise lors d'une rando en boucle, effectuée seul, au départ de Katzenthal, en passant par le Neuberg, le Sommerberg, le Galtz et la croix de Meywihr. Comme le lendemain vers l'Ungersberg, j'ai pu y voir une ribambelle de parcelles de vignes teintées de magnifiques couleurs (jaune, vert et rouge).
Merci à tous les viticulteurs alsaciens de régaler nos yeux à chaque automne par leur travail acharné de toute l'année !!! 🙏😉
En 2019, je n'aurai pas réussi à faire de rando dans les vignes alsaciennes pendant le magnifique mois d'octobre. Mais à la place j'ai découvert avec bonheur les environs du Hohneck à cette même période et je n'ai aucun regret d'avoir fait ce choix. Et puis qu'à cela ne tienne, c'est l'occasion d'aller rechercher les photos prises au cours de cette rando le 13 octobre 2017, dans les vignes autour de Niedermorschwihr, Katzenthal et Ammerschwihr.
Cette photo a été prise depuis les vignes du Sommerberg. On y voit le village de Niedermorschwihr en contrebas, qui est à mon sens l'un des villages les plus photogéniques du vignoble alsacien.
Au fond à droite, on voit les sommets situés au sud du début de la Vallée de Munster avec :
- À gauche, le sommet sans nom (645m) sur lequel est perché le Château du Hohlandsbourg. Il est singulier car de loin, on n'aperçoit ni tour ni donjon mais juste son vaste mur d'enceinte carré ...
- À droite, le joli sommet du Stauffen (898m), qui est le point culminant du secteur et que l'on aperçoit très souvent depuis la Vallée de Munster quand on regarde en direction de la plaine d'Alsace.
Kinderdijk vanavond. Licht van de derde molen ging veel te laat aan vanavond. Dan maar een bootje voor wat extra licht :-)

The Puerta Baja is one of the most imposing monumental entrances in the entire country. Great in the entire extension of the term, it has huge towers flanking a vast arch of unequaled width and that makes sense to give way to the waters of storms that periodically hover over the city.
The Gate was originally, perhaps in the 13th century, a simple arch defended by a tower. In the fourteenth century the entrance was modified, raising a simple tower with pointed openings (it is the inner half of the tower on the left seen from inside the enclosure).
In the XV century, around 1451, the two towers that flank the arch were erected; in a case, the left tower, adding a body to the existing one, in the one in the tower on the right, always seen from the inside, building it on a new floor; the two towers were crowned with staggered merlons. At this time the central body of the door was modified, opening a gallery of arches. Already in the 16th century the access arch was lowered and the imperial shield of Carlos V was placed
It was rehabilitated between 1987 and 1988 by the Daroca Workshop School to locate the Darocenses Studies Center.
The Chevrolet Camaro is an automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, classified as a pony car and some versions also as a muscle car. It went on sale on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year and was designed as a competing model to the Ford Mustang. The car shared its platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced for 1967. Four distinct generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in 2002. The nameplate was revived on a concept car that evolved into the fifth-generation Camaro; production started on March 16, 2009. [source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Camaro]

Een trein die zich maar weinig laat fotograferen is de lege cementtrein van RheinCargo uit Neuwied naar Deuna. Planmatig vertrekt de trein rond 20:00 uit Neuwied om vervolgens via Köln, het Ruhrgebiet en Altenbeken in Deuna te geraken. Doordat de trein zo laat vertrekt uit Neuwied is ze enkel in de late zomerse zonuurtjes te zien op de Rheinstrecke zoals in Hammerstein.
Ook op vrijdagavond 23 juli zou de trein moeten vertrekken vanuit Neuwied en zouden we deze in Hammerstein kunnen vereeuwigen. Tot ongeveer 20:30 was er direct zonlicht aanwezig dus het zou toch nog een redelijke uitdaging worden, want mocht de trein iets later vertrekken was een foto maken al bijna geen optie meer. Na al een bijzonder goed geslaagde avond was het dus nog afwachten of RheinCargo zou passeren en natuurlijk met welke loc dat zou gebeuren. Over het algemeen heeft RheinCargo interessante locomotieven, maar de rode 185'ers mogen ze van mij achterwege houden voor zo'n cementtrein.
Gelukkig zat het allemaal mee deze avond en zodoende kon om 20:24 te Hammerstein in het laatste zonlicht de RheinCargo 187 071 vastgelegd worden met de lege cementtrein die nog geen vijf minuten geleden is vertrokken vanaf Neuwied. We dachten hierna dat het klaar was voor deze dag, maar niet veel later wist DB Cargo ons nog te verrassen met een niet alledaagse 189'er op de Rheinstrecke waarvan de foto later volgt!
