Burning in a hopeless dream

Hold me when you go to sleep

Keep me safe

We need light, we need love

Lift me up

Hold me down

Keep me safe

Safe and sound

Hills at sundown.

Driving home from work, I stopped to take some shots of this beautiful scene. Lovely to sit in the stillness and wonder of a late autumn sunset.

🎼 “Lift Me Up” - Rihana

“Lift me up

Hold me down

Keep me close

Safe and sound.”

♫♪♫

I can hear the rain again

Baby I'm looking down

Then back at you

Where you goin'?

Tell me, don't you want to see it through?

Oh it's tearing me apart

When your heart goes

Into silence

And I just want to hold you

When your spirit breaks in two

Hey baby

I wanna lift you up

Hey baby

I wanna lift you up

Love lives on forever

The thunder never lasts

So hold on, don't you worry

The sun is coming back

Hey baby

I wanna lift you up

In the distance

I can see it in your eyes

You're fading out

Head is underwater

Honey, don't you know?

You walk a solid ground

We can head into the dark

And I will follow

Right beside you

And when the night is falling

Won't let it get the best of you

Schiffshebewerk Henrichenburg

Der preußische Adler prangt seit 120 Jahren hoch über dem Dortmund-Ems-Kanal an den imposanten Türmen des Schiffshebewerks Henrichenburg in Waltrop. Bis heute hat der stählerne Aufzug für Schiffe nichts von seiner Faszination eingebüßt. Er wurde gebaut, um eine 14 Meter hohe Kanalstufe zu überwinden. Über 60 Jahre lang war die Anlage in Betrieb. Heute ist das Wahrzeichen ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel mit Wasserspielplatz und Schiffstouren. Es bietet vielfältige Möglichkeiten, das Leben und die Arbeit am Wasser zu erkunden.

The Prussian eagle has been emblazoned high above the Dortmund-Ems Canal on the imposing towers of the Henrichenburg ship lift in Waltrop for 120 years. To this day, the steel elevator for ships has lost none of its fascination. It was built to overcome a 14 meter high canal step. The plant was in operation for more than 60 years. Today the landmark is a popular destination with a water playground and boat tours. It offers a variety of opportunities to explore life and work on the water.

This dragonfly is "ON the FORK", but is also lifting off with it!

This is the result of an idea I had for this week's theme, which is proving to be extremely difficult and time consuming to do. It is not without its problems, and needs more work. But I decided to submit it "as is" now to get it posted on time in the Smile on Saturday group. I hope it will nevertheless bring a smile to you when you see it!

Theme: "On Forks"

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.

Wishing you all joy in action.

We have lift off! The parade of eagles marches on. It was an amazing morning with the Bald Eagles.

Curlew taking off from the river Coquet Northumberland.

With all the heavy snow and rain we have had recently here in England, the marshes near home was flooded never seen this place like this before and maybe I will never see it again and to top that fog as well!

I the top half is the original and the rest is obviously photoshopped but I feel that this is more the direction that I am heading for, making my photography more of an art form than just a straightforward image, some of you may not care for this type of vision but please let me know what you think?

Adventure Bay, Bruny Island, Tasmania.

Because, sometimes, I just gotta go high contrast.

Maybe a little softer focus than I'd like, but I look the look of this mature Bald Eagle lifting off from its perch and flying away.

Taken 6 May 2023 at Homer, Alaska.

The one took off right in front of me.

This Eagle couldn't have been nicer to me as she turned towards the sun as she lifted.

Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dieser Flugkünstler würde einen frischen Fisch nicht ablehnen.

Where are the fish?

This photo shows 'Lift 109', a glass domed lift that rises through the middle of the north west chimney of Battersea power station.

This gives stunning 360° views of London.

It is called lift 109,because it is 109m to the top of the chimney.

It had only been open to the public for six weeks when this was taken.

As you can see, on this day, it was also offering good views of the Moon too!
