It's been almost two weeks since I last posted a picture of my favorite tree. I think I can come up with another one now.
For everyone who sees it for the first time (which can't be many) the tree stands on the small mount Winter in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
When this photo was made, sunrise was still at least 30-45 minutes away. So I experimented a little to find a slightly different variant of the well-known composition.
The result was a shot from a little further away, so that the structure of the rocky ground and this small heather island also get some attention.
A small positive side effect is that by using a larger focal length (53 instead of the usual 35mm), the mountains in the background are moved a little closer and therefore have more effect.
So I can get used to this variant quite well.
Inzwischen ist es so ziemlich zwei Wochen her, dass ich das letzte Bild von meinem Lieblingsbaum gepostet habe. Ich denke, da kann ich jetzt schon mal wieder eins bringen.
Für alle, die ihn das erste mal sehen (was nicht viele sein können) der Baum steht auf dem kleinen Winterberg im Elbsandsteingebirge.
Als dieses Foto entstand, war der Sonnenaufgang noch mindestens 30-45 Minten entfernt. Also hab ich ein wenig herumexperimentiert um einmal eine etwas andere Variante der allseits bekannten Komposition zu finden.
Das Ergebnis war eine Aufnahme mit etwas weiter Abstand, so dass die Struktur des felsigen Untergrundes und diese kleine Heide-Insel auch etwas Aufmerksamkeit bekommen.
Kleiner positiver Nebeneffekt ist, dass durch die Verwendung einer größeren Brennweite (53 anstatt sonst 35mm) auch die Berge im Hintergrund etwas näher gerückt sind und somit mehr Wirkung zeigen.
Also ich kann mich mit dieser Varianbte ganz gut anfreunden.

The jaguar is a large cat species and the only living member of the genus Panthera native to the Americas. With a body length of up to 1.85 m and a weight of up to 158 kg, it is the largest cat species in the Americas and the third largest in the world.
Jaguars are the only big cat in the Americas and the third biggest in the world after tigers and lions. They look a lot like leopards, which live in Africa and Asia, but jaguars’ spots are more complex and often have a dot in the center.
These powerful cats were worshipped as gods in many ancient South American cultures, and representations of the jaguar show up in the art and archaeology of pre-Columbian cultures across the jaguar’s range.
Jaguars face a number of threats, including habitat fragmentation and illegal killing. South and Central America’s high rates of deforestation—for grazing land, agriculture, and other uses—have not only destroyed jaguars’ habitat but also broken it up. Fragmented forests mean that cats get boxed into patches of forest and can’t travel far to find new mates. That kind of isolation can lead to inbreeding and local extinctions.
Another threat jaguars face is retaliatory killings from ranchers. As grazing land replaces forests, jaguars are more likely to hunt cattle. In response—and sometimes in anticipation—cattle owners kill jaguars.
Poaching is another growing problem for jaguars. They’ve long been hunted for their pelts, and now there’s a growing illegal, international trade in jaguar teeth and jaguar bone products going to China.
Conservation Status: Near Threatened - in Brazil Threatened.

I was out scouring the landscape looking for my next victim when I came across an old and dilapidated truck in a farmers field. After shooting it for a while, an odd looking clump of black lengths of something caught my eye. There were two such piles and located next to the road, 50 metres from where I was working.
When I got closer, it was evident there were two bundles of discarded retreads. "Retread tires, sometimes known as recap tires or remolded tires, have undergone a remanufacturing process to replace the worn tread on used tires with new tread." This discarded mess were the actual treads that would be applied to used tires, bringing them back to life.
It was also evident a very green leafed weed was growing in and amongst the treads. The image that came to mind was a symbolic one. New growth in the form of a weed was growing in the very thing that was to bring new growth to old tires. It was just too much to pass up on and I spent the rest of the morning finding the right composition.

The Christmas cactus has amazing blooms, once you can figure out their preference for the temp and angles to sunshine at your window... I may not be able to tell you names of the plants I have, but I do have fun trying to grow as many as possible on my apartment's medium sized window sills... kitchen, livingroom and bedroom, the whole length of the wall... pretty special!
The storm raged throughout the night. When morning came, the rain continued, but the wind calmed down a bit, allowing us to take the cruise along the entire length of Milford Sound out to the Tasman Sea.
Mountains across Milford Sound were gushing water everywhere I looked at. All of the mountains turned into waterfalls!
Although the quality of the photos was severely impacted by the wind and continuous rain, it was an amazing experience.

L'Italia Mondiale, quella di Zoffgentilecabrini, era passata per la Puerta del Sol. Che, nonostante il nome, non era un rifugio spagnolo nel quale si consumò il famoso ritiro in grado di trasformare i bolliti anti-Camerun nei mattatori che schiacciarono Argentina, Brasile e Germania. Era un albergo di Alassio, che ospitò la prima fase di preparazione degli azzurri, una struttura di primordine, con strutture sportive allora allavanguardia. Ora quella «Puerta» è chiusa e rischia di non riaprirsi più. Colpa del «mercato» e del progressivo disinteresse dei proprietari per una struttura che non tirava più come allora.

Jvari Monastery is one of the most iconic in Georgia. This ancient temple dates back to the 6th century AD. It was built at the dawn of the adoption and spread of Christianity in Georgia. The name of the church is translated from Georgian as “the cross” and has its own history. According to the legend, the cross of St. Nino, one of the most revered saints who converted Georgia to Christianity, is kept here. After some time, a temple was built on the site of the holy cross, which later became the basis of the present Jvari.
The Jvari temple is located nearby the ancient capital of Georgia, Mtskheta, on the top of a high mountain, from where picturesque views of the neighborhood open, at the intersection of stormy waters of the Aragvi and Kura rivers. The temple attracts thousands of tourists because of its architecture, location and historical value. Exterior and interior decorations of the temple are made in simple, and we can say quite austere forms. Unlike most Orthodox churches, Jvari is beautiful with its simplicity, rigor and clarity of lines. According to the structure, the temple is classified as serial, or tetraconch. Inside the temple right in the center under the dome on a stone pedestal, stands the impressive wooden cross, decorated with inscriptions and carvings. The exterior facades of the temple are decorated with simple, and at the same time expressive bas-reliefs.
To the top of the mountain where the temple stands, lead two ways: a new asphalt road for cars, and a path through which people used to climb up to the sanctuary from time immemorial. The trail begins at the highway. Climbing up along it until about the middle, you can come across a spring with holy water which is believed to appear thanks to the prayers of St. Nino. This water is considered to be curative and miraculous. The temple of Jvari went through a long and difficult journey of one and a half thousand year’s length along with the Georgian people, experienced hardships and difficulties, becoming a symbol of faith for Georgia.

The SS Master was built in 1922 for Captain Herman Thorsen. Very few ships were being built in the province during this period, (only 6 over 40′), and the Master was just about the last tug launched with a triple expansion steam engine installed.
The Master was one of a trio of wood hulled tugs that were turned out at the Beach Avenue Shipyard in False Creek. Although almost identical in design and size, the MASTER was however, 5′ shorter than the other two, the SEA SWELL and the R.F.M.
**Information as per www.ssmaster.org/
Tugs are by far my favorite boats.
My dad's early career was living and working aboard local coastline and deep sea tugs.
Dad's best friend (in his early years) was the engineer of the SS Master. My dad recalls spending time upon the Master assisting him in fine tuning the steam engines on this beautiful tug.
The Master's sister tug, the R.F.M was another tug my dad fondly remembers working on.

the lovely bird that popped up in a bush barely a couple of feet from Tracy Farrer and myself, as we stood waiting for the Waxwings to come down again.
Extraordinary to see an individual from what is normally such a shy species, up so close and actually stay and carry on feeding, totally unconcerned by our presence on the pavement in front.
It was so close, I was backing off as far as I could (without getting run over by passing cars), just to get all of it within frame and out to minimum focusing distance, at 420mm focal length - and most of the time I still couldn't do so.
Fallow deer are a medium to large sized deer. Fully grown males (bucks) stand at around 0.84 to 0.94m tall at the shoulder and weigh between 46 to 93kg.
Fully grown females (does) are 0.73 to 0.91m at the shoulder and weigh between 35 to 56kg. By comparison, an average adult man in Britain is 1.77m high and weighs 79kg.
Fallow deer have four main variations of coat:
Common – tan/fawn, with white spotting on flanks and white rump patch outlined with black horseshoe shaped border. Coat fades to a general grey colour during the winter
Menil – paler colouration with white spots year-round and a caramel horseshoe shape on rump
Melanistic – black, almost entirely black or chocolate coloured
White – white to pale sandy-coloured turning increasingly white with age (this is a true colour and not albino).
Fallow deer often have a distinctive black inverted horseshoe shape on their rumps, and a black stripe on their tails which are the longest of all British deer.
The Fallow deer is the only species in Britain with palmate antlers. These become full-sized after the deer are three/four years old and can reach up to 0.7m in length. Facially, their head is more elongated than some species with large angular ears.
Does and their young give short barks when alarmed. Bucks groan loudly during the breeding season.
Fallow deer leave large hoof prints (slots), about 6cm long in soft ground. Their feet are more elongated than Roe deer and are heavier, creating deeper prints
After visiting the Škocjan Caves we continued our walking along the Big Collapse Doline and visited smaller caves. It was very interesting too. On the photo you can see the trail on the rock :)
Škocjan Caves is a cave system located in Slovenia. It's an underground phenomenon in the Karst region and Slovenia. The explored length of the caves is 6,200 meters. The caves have formed in a 300-meter-thick layer of Cretaceous and Paleocene limestone. Along with the underground stream of the Reka River, it forms one of the longest karst underground wetlands in Europe. The protected area of 413 ha conserves an exceptional limestone cave system which comprises one of the world's largest known underground river canyons. Škocjan Caves was included on UNESCO’s list of natural and cultural World Heritage Sites in 1986. The trail for visitors is about 3 km long. The route inside the cave runs along the narrow walkway, which is situated on a vertical rock and ends with a bridge suspended at a height of about 50 m above the river. After leaving the caves, you can also visit nearby viewpoints on the sinkholes, walk along the Big Collapse Doline (Velika dolina), which is one of the largest collapse dolines in Slovenia and the Reka River valley, as well as smaller caves located nearby.

Po wyjściu z Jaskiń Szkocjańskich kontynuowaliśmy nasz spacer szlakiem wzdłuż Wielkiego Zapadliska, odwiedzając po drodze mniejsze jaskinie. Też było tam pięknie. Na fotce widać ścieżkę biegnącą po skale :)
Jaskinie Szkocjańskie – zespół jaskiń krasowych w Słowenii. Sumaryczna długość jaskiń wynosi ok. 6,2 km. Jaskinie charakteryzują się dużą wysokością komór i korytarzy oraz płynącą przez nie podziemną rzeką o nazwie Reka, która wyżłobiła w skałach największy w Europie podziemny kanion. Jaskinie Szkocjańskie znajdują się pod ochroną jako park krajobrazowy oraz obszar ochrony biosfery. Zostały częściowo udostępnione do zwiedzania i stanowią jedną z najciekawszych atrakcji turystycznych Słowenii. W roku 1986 Jaskinie Szkocjańskie zostały wpisane na listę światowego dziedzictwa kulturalnego i przyrodniczego UNESCO. Szlak dla zwiedzających ma długość ok. 3 km. Trasa wewnątrz jaskini biegnie wąskim chodnikiem poprowadzonym na pionowej skale i kończy się przejściem przez most zawieszony na wysokości ok. 50m nad rzeką. Po wyjściu z jaskiń można jeszcze odwiedzić pobliskie punkty widokowe na zapadliska krasowe, przejść wzdłuż Wielkiego Zapadliska (Velika dolina), które jest jednym z największych zapadlisk w Słowenii i dolinę rzeki Reka oraz znajdujące się obok mniejsze jaskinie.
