The Amtsfischerhaus in the Schnoor quarter.
The Schnoor quarter is the oldest documented quarter of Bremen and it has largely preserved its medieval character.
First mentioned in the 13th century. The two oldest remaining buildings are from 1401 and 1402 respectively. Some buildings are just remaining facades or have been relocated from other locations - like the "Amtsfischerhaus" here that was originally built in 1759.

Pyzdry is a town in Greater Poland with rich history, situated on the high right bank of Warta River.
The first mention of Pyzdry comes from 1232, it is one of oldest founding towns in Greater Poland. The city rights were probably granted by Bolesław Pobożny before 1257. Władysław I Łokietek in June 1318 called a congress of Polish clergy and dignitaries to Pyzdry, at which a resolution was adopted to send an envoy to Pope John XXII with a request for permission to his coronation. The history of this city are turbulent, it was destroyed and burned down many times as a result of wars. During the reign of King Casimir the Great, the city was surrounded by walls, a huge four-sided castle was built and the Franciscan monastery was rebuilt. During the partitions, the city found itself in the Prussian partition and after the Napoleonic war in the Russian partition.

Pyzdry to miasto w Wielkopolsce, o bogatej historii, położone na wysokim prawym brzegu rzeki Warta.
Pierwsza wzmianka o Pyzdrach pochodzi z 1232 roku, są jednym z najstarszych miast lokacyjnych w Wielkopolsce. Prawa miasta były prawdopodobnie przyznane przez Bolesława Pobożnego przed 1257. Władysław I Łokietek w czerwcu 1318 roku zwołał do Pyzdr zjazd duchowieństwa i dostojników polskich, na którym podjęto uchwałę o wysłaniu poselstwa do papieża Jana XXII z prośbą o zezwolenie na jego koronację. Historia i dzieje miasta są burzliwe, było wielokrotnie niszczone i palone w wyniku wojen. W czasie panowania króla Kazimierza Wielkiego miasto zostało otoczone murami, wybudowano potężny czworoboczny zamek oraz odbudowano klasztor franciszkanów. W okresie rozbiorów miasto znalazło się w zaborze pruskim a po wojnie napoleońskiej w zaborze rosyjskim.
Barred Owlet
In early June of last year, I'd had the privilege and pleasure of seeing and taking pictures of a Barred Owl family in the local park.*
Two owlets were located, perched a few metres apart high up in the safety of the tree. Not too far away in another tree were the parents, both sleeping. The owlets were clearly relaxed, just acting naturally, scratching an itch every now and then, using the talons to preen and clean.. Although the light was not ideal and the setting quite congested, which made any photography challenging, I am happy I was able to take some shots of this owl family.
* Many thanks to Ivan Deng for letting me know that the owlets had fledged, and above all, for graciously offering me a ride to the trail to photograph this owl family.
I also like to mention that I truly enjoy the company of Ivan and also Don Delaney whenever I go birding with them. I am not exaggerating - their hearing is supernormal, and that has always got my day off to a happy start. I must say I am no novice in the woods, but quite often I have not heard or seen a thing until they point it out to me.

Thank you very much for the visit and comment.
Tiefenbronn is a small medieval town that was first mentioned in 1105.
Here we have a view down the Franz-Josef-Gall-Straße towards the steeple of the over 600 years old St. Maria Magdalena church.
The main body of the church was built from 1380 to 1399, the steeple is a later addition, its completion is dated to 1513.

Just thought I'd mention that this Wednesday morning (30-12-15) from about 8:30 to 10:30 looks like being good for storm photos at Porthcawl Lighthouse. Sunrise is 08:20, High tide is 09:19 and the forecast is for strong winds. There are no guarantees, it may not be the strongest storm of recent years, but if the forecast doesn't change it should be worth a visit - oh, and be careful out there!
Any excuse to post a Porthcawl photo, eh? This is a crop of a photo I held back on previously as I thought people would not see the lighthouse in the wave. On reflection you lot are more observant than that, so I may post the full version later today for you to compare.
If any of you go down on Wednesday please feel free to share any photos you post with me, I'd love to check them out. Me? I've got to work

Water taxi on the Spree, at the heart of Berlin's government district. The buildings are, from left to right: 1) the Jakob-Kaiser-Haus, a parliamentary building named after Jakob Kaiser (1888 - 1961), a member of the Zentrumspartei, Christian trade unionist, and resistance fighter against the Nazi regime. 2) The Reichstagspräsidentenpalais which, until 1919, was solely used as a residence for the respective president of the German Reichstag. During the Weimarer Republik democratic panels were held there. Nowadays, it houses the Deutsche Parlamentarische Gesellschaft (German parliamentary society), a non-party association of members of the German Bundestag, the German state parliaments, and the European Parliament. 3), of course, is the Reichstag building, the seat of the German government. Hoisted up on the roof of the Reichstag building are the German national flag and also the flag of Europe (on the left, unfortunately, you can't see the wreath of stars here).
Processing-wise, I did a lot with Lightroom's new masking tool. I have mentioned it earlier, whenever I think that I'm done with the subscription and am finally ready to cancel it, Adobe comes up with something good that makes me "stay". The new (auto) masking tools in LR are such a "good something", they make it so easy and convenient to process different parts of an image with different adjustments. Since it's (Sliders) Sunday, I didn't leave it at LR adjustments, of course. I also went into Color Efex and applied several filters (please don't ask me which, I can't remember) for that "over-processed Sunday look" ;).
HSS, everyone, have a nice week ahead, and take care!
Wassertaxi auf der Spree, im Herzen des Berliner Regierungsviertels. Links neben dem Reichstagsgebäude ist das Reichtagspräsidentenpalais zu sehen. Es wurde wie das Reichstagsgebäude von Paul Wallot entworfen und diente bis 1919 ausschließlich als Wohn- und Arbeitssitz des jeweiligen Reichstagspräsidenten. In der Weimarer Republik wurden dort auch demokratische Foren und Debatten abgehalten. Heute beherbergt das Gebäude die Deutsche Parlamentarische Gesellschaft. Beim modernen Bau links handelt es sich um das Jakob-Kaiser-Haus, in dem sich gut 60 Prozent der Abgeordnetenbüros befinden.
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Here's my retake of Horseshoe bend that I mentioned in my last post.(Morning Light on Lake Powell) After checking out the campground at Lone Rock, I thought I would have enough time to check out the campground at Lee's Ferry 45 mins away. I had 2 1/2 hours to play with so I took a chance and headed off. About 25 mins into the drive I apparently passed a time zone and all of a sudden I only had 1 1/2 hours, this whole time zone situation really gets me sometimes. Most people don't realize (Including Myself) that Photopills cannot provide you with the correct time zone if it can't get a cellular signal so always compare the time in the app with the time on your phone. Lee's Ferry campground was a horrible place to camp. The wind is insane there, so much so, that the builders of the campgrounds actually built wind shelters in most of the campsites. They looked like the big set of ribs that the waitress in the ending of the flintstones cartoon carries out and sets on Freds car. I quickly bailed and made a rushed trip back to horseshoe bend, which I had 35 mins to do a 45 minute drive so I hammered the pedal on my 4x4 rental and raced back down Highway 89. About 15 mins from the bend on a long straight away I really started pushing it and hit 100 miles an hour. Just as the needle hit 100 an Arizona Highway Patrol pulled onto the road about 1000 feet ahead. I checked up on the brakes hard in an effort not to rearend the patrolman. Luckily he hadn't seen my maniacal pace but when he saw me coming up behind him he knew I was flying. He then set the pace for the next 10 miles at 55 mph, daring me to pass him. That was the longest 10 miles I've ever driven. I finally made it to the bend with 5 mins to spare, and Ran off down the sandy trail leading to the bend. I hadn't noticed that the clock on my phone recalculated and added the missing time back. So I actually had more time than I thought. As usual there was a throng of shooters lined up along the cliff's edge and luckily some of the more experienced shooters bailed after realizing the sun would not be a participant in the evening captures, so I quickly elbowed my way into the recently vacated spot to grab this shot. My prior trip here had absolutely blank skies so I had composed my shot omitting the sky completely. This time I was able to get "some" cloud drama to include in my shot. Hope you like it. :)
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead everybody!! :)

As a national monument and as the heart of the protected village view, the Oude Kerk is part of Borne's identity. This Stephen of the Old Church of Borne was founded about the year 1000 by the Dominican monks of the monastery in Ruinen. In a deed of 1206, the church in Burgundy of Borne is mentioned for the first time. This document records a major transaction between the bishop of Utrecht and the monastery, whereby the church in Borne becomes the property of the bishop.
Did I mentioned we also have raids from European Starlings?
I like this little heart shaped feathers.
If you never seen this video you must, starlings on Otmoor is an Aerial spectacle like no other!
This is the second image in this series. I should have mentioned these two pictures were taken along a major highway. They both involved serious climbing over guardrails and I highly recommend earplugs.
Original Info on this series: On my drive to work each day I would notice the mist rising beyond the guard rails, and then it would be gone. Next it would be a flash of red and gold, a glint of light would catch my eye and they too would be gone as I continued along the highway to work. I have always known that if I kept my camera in the car on the days driving to work, I would never arrive. So, last Fall I decided to take the time and stop along the main highways and the back roads and climb over the guard rails. What transpired was a series of images that are seldom noticed by the thousands who pass them every day. I call the series “Beauty Beyond the Barriers”. I hope you enjoy them.
The lovely textures used in this series are thanks to the beautiful work of Anna Lenabem and Jai Johnson.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your visit, all your kind comments, invitations and favorites. This image may not be copied or distributed without my written consent. © All rights reserved.
Tired of staying indoors? Then why don't we get away to Yellow Water in Kakadu National Park. Located within the Alligator Rivers Region of the Northern Territory of Australia, the National Park covers an area of 19,804 km2 (7,646 sq mi), making it the size of Wales, or almost half the size of Switzerland.
Yellow Water is a landlocked billabong at the centre of the National Park and brimming with native flora and fauna and is one of Kakadu's best-known landmarks. Bring your camera, Kakadu is home to more than 280 different types of birds – around a third of all bird species in Australia, not to mention the crocodiles.

I mentioned in my first shot this morning how Sandy Bay is one of the first of Hobart's suburbs to be cast into shadow as the sun sets behind Mount Wellington / kunanyi. This photograph is a good illustration of that.
But what appealed to me in taking this shot was that sliver of light that illuminated the historic precinct of Battery Point. Right at the centre is the tower of the historic St George's Church.
The oldest mention of Twickel is in 1347, when Herman van Twickelo bought the house Eysinck near Delden. This house later became Twickel Castle. The last owner has transferred Twickel to a foundation that still manages the property.

Once there was a man with good intentions
And some people at home he forgot to mention
She was looking for a friend and he was willing to listen
Once there was a man with good intentions
And nobody has to know
It's all right, it's all right to let go
And nobody has to see
What's between you and me
Is you and me
(Is you and me)
Once there was a girl who thought she needed to be saved
By a white knight on a white horse in a white cape
Maybe he's taken but you'll take him anyway
Once there was a girl who thought shе needed to be saved
And nobody has to know
It's all right, it's all right to lеt go
And nobody has to see
What's between you and me
Is you and me
(Is you and me)
I don't wanna change your mind
But I don't wanna go home tonight
Tell me no or I'm coming over
Let the devil make a deal with the angel on your shoulder
Leafs from my garden.

In the late afternoon we found another pride of 18 lions at the edge of the western sector of the Serengeti. There were 2 large males and quite a number of young cubs in this pride.
This is a different pride than the previous lion posts of the western corridor. As mentioned we saw that other pride with 18 lions 4 or 5 times but there was never an adult male present.

Back to one of the countless waterfalls in Iceland, the mighty Skogafoss. As I mentioned in the caption of Where Rainbows End, the crowds of tourists forced me to zoom into the scene and shoot more intimate compositions. And as luck would have it, at the exact moment I pressed the shutter to take a picture of this abstract-looking composition of falling water, a bird flew through the scene and I happened to catch it right in the third of the frame. So unlike the image At World's End which I took in the Westfjords where we really waited until a bird was in the frame, this image was pure luck, and since I couldn’t get any of the classic compositions with the river in the foreground because of all the people, I was really happy when I noticed the bird on the back display of my camera. I hope you like it too!
... and no need to mention how many calories it has !
Cleo lives for her meals and when she sleeps she probably dreams of them. Tuna is not exactly a part of her low calorie diet but occasionally she gets some tuna for dinner, just to lift her spirits. :)
I tried to capture this scene, in close to the same light and weather, some years ago. But I was unable to not give it a new try when I saw this on the seond day of 2021.
We live in a small place between a fjord and two tunnels, it is hard to find something new to capture all the time. And sometime can the same motif become very different pictures depending on season, light, colours and weather, to mention a few.
I don't think this became that new, it is more that I thought it was so beautiful when I saw it!
There are more photos in the first comment.
As mentioned a few days ago, we celebrated our 45th Wedding Anniversary at the Fisherman's Table restaurant on the 31st January.
After an enjoyable meal, it became obvious that the sun was setting quickly; there was just time to capture the last rays of 2022...
A similar photo was published around 2 months ago, but like then, the setting sun on New Year's Eve was just magical...!
And then the proverbial icing on the cake occurred: a Gull came swooping quickly in from the ocean, and began to bank sharply in preparation for a touchdown on the restaurant's lawn...
Focus, focus, steady, track the bird but keep the sunset in mid-frame, watch out for the shadows cast by the nearby hills, don't wait too long...
NOW!!!
That's a take...!
Thank you for your very kind and encouraging comments beneath my photos...! Your support is very greatly appreciated...
Have I ever mentioned the tiny terror of our rockpools, the blue ringed octopus? Our wild coastline is home to a variety of marine life, including some fascinating but potentially dangerous creatures. Among these is the blue-ringed octopus, a tiny but deadly inhabitant of our rock pools.
Despite its tiny size and vibrant colors (check out google images, they are quite fascinating), the blue-ringed octopus is one of the most venomous creatures in the ocean. Its bite, often painless, can deliver a potent neurotoxin capable of paralysing and killing a human within minutes.
Here are some fun facts about these cuddly little occy's:
Deadly Dose: A single blue-ringed octopus carries enough venom to kill 26 adult humans.
Aggressive Nature: They are known for their aggressive behavior, especially when threatened.
Dual-Purpose Venom: They possess two types of venom: one for hunting prey and another for defense.
Non-Contact Kill: It's believed that they can incapacitate prey by releasing venom into the water, eliminating the need for a direct bite.
Rare Encounters: Fortunately, attacks on humans are relatively rare. When exploring rock pools, if you encounter one, admire it from a safe distance and avoid touching it.
Anyone want to join me for a splash in this rock pool ? ;)
Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!
Our trip we could, as already mentioned wg. Storm and heavy rains are delayed, but somehow there is a good side to everything - due to one of the heaviest rains Madeira had ever experienced, roads were partly blocked due to Landslides or falling rocks blocked - we couldn't do our original hike along the Levada Pinaculu like this either - but the alternative we did from Encumeada was a hit - with some waterfalls and these filled to the brim - rather unusual for mid-June...
Unsere Reise konnten wir, wie schon erwähnt wg. Sturm und starken Regenfällen nur verspätet antreten, aber alles hat auch irgendwie eine gute Seite - durch einen der stärksten Regenfälle, die Madeira je erlebt hatte, waren zum Teil Straßen wg. Erdrutschen oder Steinschlag gesperrt - auch unsere ursprüngliche Wanderung entlang der Levada Pinaculu konnten wir so nicht machen - die Alternative, die wir von Encumeada unternahmen war aber der Hit - mit einigen Wasserfällen und diese prall gefüllt - für Mitte Juni eher ungewöhnlich...

St Mary's is next to the coastal salt marshes. Domesday Book mentions it and a substantial part of the existing church dates to those times - the 11th Century.

Externally, the flint tower's tapering base is probably Saxon and is topped by a cylindrical Norman construction suggesting that it was completed after the Norman Conquest. St Mary's great attraction is its quaint Medieval 'spirelet' of lead coated timber frame. Outside view of tower and 'spirelet'

As mentioned in a few of my previous shared images, I did go for a long outing on Stephen's Day as one could not do that for both Christmas Eve or Day. It was coming down in bucketfuls. This is the way down to the 6th Hole Tee box of the Bunclody Golf Course and unfortunately the River Slaney decided to break her banks and encroach onto the course, including submerging the Tee box.

The first mention of Middachten appears in the year 1190, and although the castle dates from the early Middle Ages, the house in its present form was built towards the end of the 17th century and still includes some medieval parts. Middachten is unique in that it is still a real, working estate. Besides the castle, park and gardens, the estate also includes farms, woods and agricultural land.
Middachten has never been sold but has always passed from one generation to another. As a result of this, the interior of the castle is complete and still has many of the original household effects, including a large collection of portraits and much 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century furniture. The castle also has the original cupboards filled with collections of china, silver and glass-wear, and antique linen. The management of the estate is in the hands of the 25th Lord of Middachten, Count zu Ortenburg.
Your wedding at Middachten Castle would be an unforgettable experience for you and your guests. You would be welcomed at the castle steps from where you would be led through the vestibule with its beautiful staircase to the great hall. Here an official from the Rheden Borough Council would conduct the civil wedding ceremony. The gardens around the castle form a wonderful location for your wedding photographs.

White Rock is an oceanfront city in British Columbia, Canada, and a member municipality of Metro Vancouver.
White Rock has a moderate climate, with average daily high temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius in summer and 6 degrees Celsius in winter.
White Rock is named for a distinctive large white boulder on its beach near the promenade, a glacial erratic that migrated south during the last glaciation. The 486-ton granite boulder was kept white by shellfish-eating seabirds whose guano covered the rock, so much so that 19th-century sailors used it as a beacon. However, it is now kept white through monthly applications of white paint by the city parks department, and has been a popular graffiti target for over thirty years.
Legend.
The large, white rock is mentioned in the legends of the local Coast Salish peoples. One legend says that the white rock marks the landing spot of a stone that was hurled across the Strait of Georgia by a young chief It was said that he and his bride would move from Vancouver Island to wherever the rock landed to make a home together.

As I mentioned yesterday, one door closes and another will open. I came to Stanley expecting to use my Nikon F90X 35mm camera to take nostalgic history photos around Stanley. But the weather and light put paid to that.
I ended up getting these photographs instead.
L'église paroissiale est mentionné dès 1080, ce qui fait aujourd'hui d'elle l'un des derniers éléments du château contemporain de Guillaume le Conquérant. Une première église, qui ne devait pas être antérieure au Xe siècle, l'a toutefois précédée. Le droit de patronage de l'église, dédiée à Georges de Lydda, appartenait en effet au chapitre de la cathédrale de Bayeux jusqu'en 1080 ; à cette date, il est racheté par Mathilde de Flandres qui le lègue à l'abbaye aux Dames. Orientées nettement plus à l'est, les fondations de cet édifice furent exhumées en 1964 par Michel de Boüard et les archéologues du centre de recherches archéologiques et historiques médiévales (CRAHM) de l'université de Caen. Les fouilles de 1964 ont également permis de mettre au jour le chœur de l'église romane dont l'abside était semi-circulaire. Il s'agissait d'une église de village qui pouvait accueillir une centaine de paroissiens. La paroisse faisait partie du doyenné de Caen, dans le diocèse de Bayeux.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_de_Caen#%C3%89glise_Sa...
Une première mention de l'édifice date du xie siècle quand Geoffroy de l'Île en fait don à l'abbaye bénédictine de Cormery. Les arcs brisés, les voûtes avec arêtes, le chœur, la nef latérale, le clocher et l'abside s'ajoutent à la nef principale au xiie siècle.
Au xvie siècle, deux travées viennent compléter la nef latérale jusqu'à une nouvelle façade en pignon. Cette façade à double pignon est caractéristique de l'église. Construite en 1603, la chapelle latérale abrite de nombreuses plaques commémoratives des seigneurs d'Azay.
Les plus vieux vitraux datent du xixe siècle, œuvres de Lobin de Tours, à qui on doit plusieurs vitraux dans les églises de France, de Jacques Grüber et de Max Ingrand. Plusieurs vitraux détruits durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ont été remplacés en 1955. Le mobilier du chœur (la croix, l'autel, l'ambon et les meubles de présidence) sont l'œuvre de Dominique Kaeppelin.
L'église est classée au titre des monuments historiques en 1908.
Des restaurations en 1997 ont révélé des restes de fresques dans le chœur.
L’orthographe du lieu varie selon les époques, de la première mention d’Ayguerruels vers 1180 en passant par Agrifolio, Egrefeulle, Acrifolium et Aigrefeuille… Le sanctuaire est connu par la chronologie de ses commandeurs successifs (ou précepteurs), mentionnés dans les comptes du châtelain de Bâgé. Le domaine de la commanderie comprend des terres agricoles, des bâtiments d’exploitation et une maison. L’Ordre de Saint-Lazare est propriétaire du lieu qui est exploité par un fermier. La production fournit tout ce dont la petite communauté a besoin.
En 1611, la chapelle fut rachetée par une famille protestante, les Passin, qui firent démolir le clocher de la chapelle (la cloche portant l’inscription « Sancte Lazare, ora pro nobis » disparut ainsi que l’ameublement intérieur et les autels). L’étude du bâtiment montre que des travaux de restauration sont engagés et une jonction est effectuée entre la maison et la chapelle pour créer un nouveau logement. Les terres sont remises en valeur.
Les bâtiments sont construits selon la technique traditionnelle en Bresse, avec une ossature en pans de bois remplis de torchis. Plus tard, on utilisera le pisé et les briques. Les travaux du XVIIe siècle ont complètement intégré la chapelle au corps de logis, par l’ajout de deux murs en pisé la reliant à la ferme.
La chapelle, de plan rectangulaire et doté d’une voûte en arc brisé, et construite entièrement en carrons savoyards. Ce type particulier de briques épaisses est un matériau privilégié en Bresse et Dombes entre le XIIe et le XVIe siècle, tant pour sa solidité que pour sa facilité de mise en œuvre. Ces briques étaient fabriquées et cuites dans les carronnières de la région, après extraction de l’argile locale. Les murs de la chapelle tranchent donc avec les bâtiments agricoles construits en bois et terre crue. La pierre calcaire légèrement rosée provenant du Mâconnais est utilisée dans les encadrements de porte, la fenêtre gothique et l’oculus de la chapelle.

The Parish Church of Santo Ildefonso was built in the first half of the 18th century, on the site of a former place of worship, namely, a chapel dedicated to a certain Santo Alifon, historically mentioned for the first time in the late 13th century. The chapel was brought down in 1709 due to its poor state, which gave way to the construction of the present Parish Church of Santo Ildefonso. Most of the construction works were completed in 1730, but it was not until 1739 that the edifice was completely set up and inaugurated .Sundry restoration and modification works were carried out in the course of history, such that at present the Parish Church of Santo Ildefonso is a fine example of the Baroque style brightening up the surroundings of Praca da Batalha with its blue and white ceramic tiles which adorn the facade. Other highlights refer to the mid 18th century retable by Nicolau Nasoni, the Italian architect who also contributed to the design of various parts of the Porto Cathedral and of the Clerigos Tower. Also of note are the two fairly decorated bell towers which flank the facade.
This moai’s name is Paro, and it’s one of the few names that has been preserved over time. This giant has spectacular dimensions. It’s 10 meters tall, and its weight is estimated to exceed 70 tons. This was the last moai that was seen standing by a foreign visitor, according to French explorer Abel Du Petit-Thouars, who visited the island in 1838. After that date no other European traveler ever mentioned seeing any upright moai.
The oldest mention of Huva Ten Berghe dates from 1483. In 1700 it was bought by baron Willem Jan van Dedem, who had a new house built in its place together with his wife Gerbregt van Delen. This was completed in 1705. The house was restored in 1985. The house takes its name from a river dune nearby.
Egeskov was first mentioned in 1405. The castle structure was erected by Frands Brockenhuus in 1554.
The estate has belonged to the Bille-Brahe family since 1784, when they acquired it from descendants of the Brockenhuus family. In 1882 it was inherited by the counts Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille, who still own it.
Egeskov is home to the following museums:
A vintage automobile collection
A vintage motorcycle collection
A collection describing the history of agriculture
A collection of flying vehicles
A collection of Falck and other emergency vehicles
Did I mention that i have a thing for these futuristic city looks? Everyone just looks so good in this setting.... (though, and I may be biased, I think Karaath looks pretty good in any setting. I always liked this character)
