People enjoying feeding the gulls on a beautiful spring day.

Thought I'd start showing all the different types of birds that visit my garden starting with the humble robin sheltering from the sun under the canopy of a tree.

Die Klugen und Törichten Jungfrauen sind eine Skulpturengruppe am Paradiesportal des Magdeburger Doms, die das gleichnamige Gleichnis darstellt. Man datiert sie um die Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts, der Bildhauer bleibt anonym. Die zehn Figuren bestehen aus Sandstein und sind mit einer Höhe von 120–130 cm annähernd lebensgroß.

The wise and foolish virgins are a group of sculptures at the paradise portal of Magdeburg Cathedral, which depicts the parable of the same name. It is dated to the middle of the 13th century, the sculptor remains anonymous. The ten figures are made of sandstone and are almost life-size with a height of 120–130 cm.

Die Törichten hätte ich mir auch aufheben können, wenn wir eine Verlängerung des Lockdowns bekommen oder einen dritten harten Lockdown später. Irgendwie will ich dieses Foto aber in diesem unerfreulichen Jahr noch raus hauen :-)

I could have saved the foolish ones if we will get an extension of the lockdown or a third hard lockdown later. Somehow I want to get this photo out of this unpleasant year :-)

I have set myself a lockdown challenge too only take photos in my garden or from my garden. It is going to be interesting to see what effect this has on my photographic skills. With no travelling involved I will be able to take advantage of the change in the light conditions, and hopefully this will help me improve my eye for a composition.

Stay safe Stay Home.

Photography for staying at home

Remembering when the local swimming hole was surrounded by tape and we could only walk 5 klms from our homes! 18 months ago and we have come so far, haven't we!

Watching an old Bond movie in the kitchen.

i already miss my favourite pub very much.

During the Coronavirus lockdown, I'm going to be posting some digital abstracts - I've only just started doing them so still plenty to learn.

Memorial Day, no water, no people. no business.

#lockdown song

One of the favorite songs of my youth. Still love it. and the Lockdown offered me time to listen, to watch and to breathe. A gift as long as you stay healthy and don‘t suffer and your existence is not in danger.

Strange phenomenon.

Abandoned Powerplant

One from the archives from May of 2020 although the date might say different. I used to swim in this vast saltwater pool but was prohibited during lockdown. I will always remember the quietness during those months. No planes flying overhead. Normality appears to have returned somewhat.

lockdown

Hello... Somebody ?

Ruhe und Beschaulichkeit am Hafen - die Kneipen, Cafés und Restaurants sind geschlossen.

Sport in Gruppen (z. B. Rudern) findet nicht mehr statt.

Vereinzelt sind Jogger und ab und an auch mal ein Photograph am Kanal unterwegs.

Mögen wir gut durch diese Zeiten kommen...

We sent flowers to all our daughters to cheer them up - so we sent ourselves some too! Extravagant, but offering a bit of hope and pleasure...
