Subconscious exploration is a project that explores the multifaceted nature of reality and the fine border between reason and phantasm.
Although sometimes visit the same places more than once, we will never see the same place twice. You can go to the same beach, but it will never be the same. Nature is as multifaceted as that. Nature is infinite.

Fototour in den Düsseldorfer Medienhafen
Trivago Headquarter
Im Düsseldorfer Medienhafen befindet sich das Headquarter der globalen Hotelsuchmaschine trivago. Das organisch geformte Ensemble wurde 2018 von slapa oberholz pszczulny architekten realisiert. Der Firmencampus liegt prominent am Fuße des Hafenbeckens an der Kesselstraße. Er besteht aus zwei Gebäuden und großzügigen Freiflächen.
Das sechsgeschossige, tropfenförmige Gebäude umfasst rund 30.000m² und orientiert sich zum Hafenbecken. Die langgestreckte Architektur unterteilt sich im Sockelbereich in zwei Gebäudeteile, die durch begrünte Innenhöfe miteinander verbunden sind. Auf der südlichen Gebäudeseite befindet sich der Haupteingang, der durch einen zweigeschossigen Durchgang markant platziert wird. Die fließende Gebäudeform wird durch die strenge, homogene Gestaltung der Fassade hervorgehoben. Die horizontal gegliederte Fassade definiert sich durch plastisch hervortretende, weiße Brüstungsbänder. Durch zahlreiche Balkone, Terrassen und Loggien wird ein abwechslungsreiches Raumgefüge erzeugt.
Die klar ablesbare Architektur setzt sich im Inneren des Gebäudes fort, dessen Büroflächen vornehmlich in offener Struktur gehalten sind. Die facettenreiche Innenraumgestaltung wurde in enger Zusammenarbeit mit trivago vom Innenarchitekturbüro raum.atelier konzipiert.
Der urban geprägte Campus bietet seinen Mitarbeiten neben Konferenz- und Schulungsräumen, einen Gastronomie- und Küchenbereiche in Form der „Culture Kitchen“, eine Bibliothek, ein Kino und begrünte Außenbereiche, Wasserflächen sowie eine Joggingstrecke auf der bepflanzten Dachterrasse.
Der Campus wird westlich von einem 16-geschossiger Büroturm abgeschlossen, welcher in einem zweiten Bauabschnitt realisiert wurde.

Trivago Headquarters
The headquarters of the global hotel search engine trivago is located in Düsseldorf's media harbor. The organically shaped ensemble was realized in 2018 by slapa oberholz pszczulny architects. The company campus is prominently located at the foot of the harbor basin on Kesselstrasse. It consists of two buildings and spacious open spaces.
The six-story, teardrop-shaped building covers around 30,000m² and is oriented towards the harbor basin. The elongated architecture is divided into two parts of the building in the base area, which are connected by green courtyards. The main entrance is located on the southern side of the building, which is prominently positioned through a two-story passage. The flowing shape of the building is emphasized by the strict, homogeneous design of the facade. The horizontally structured facade is defined by three-dimensional, white parapet strips. Numerous balconies, terraces and loggias create a varied spatial structure.
The clearly legible architecture continues inside the building, whose office spaces are primarily kept in an open structure. The multifaceted interior design was designed by the interior design firm raum.atelier in close collaboration with trivago.
The urban campus offers its employees conference and training rooms, a catering and kitchen area in the form of the “Culture Kitchen”, a library, a cinema and green outdoor areas, water areas and a jogging track on the planted roof terrace.
The campus is closed off to the west by a 16-story office tower, which was realized in a second construction phase.

Wetenschappelijk: Melolontha melolontha
Scienitific name: Melolontha melolontha
Also known as the June bug or May bug, the common cockchafer is found throughout temperate Europe and the continental United States.
Common cockchafers typically live in areas with soft, shaded soil. The cockchafer is frequently found on agricultural land.
Adult cockchafers typically range from 25 to 30mm. Adult Melolontha melolontha have a dark head with a shiny black pronotum covered by short, closely set hairs. They also have a dull black abdomen and a long, flat pygidium. Eyes are multifaceted, with 5,475 facets per eye, providing very acute vision. Males have longer antennae than females, with a large, fan-like club protruding from each terminus. New wing cases are typically mottled with a white powder. Immature (larval) common cockchafers reach lengths of about 40 to 46mm, and have a dull white body colored black at the abdomenal extremity. Cockchafer grubs curve into an arc and have a large head with strong, grabbing mandibles. In overall appearance grubs are fleshy, elongated, and slightly hairy.
Range length
25 to 30 mm
Early larval development takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks. Larvae slow development over the winter, and in mid-April they suddenly spring back to activity and eat until October. They then hibernate until the third year, when they resume feeding in July and become fully mature in August. However, the fully mature adults do not become active until the following spring, giving the cockchafer a lengthy life cycle.
The reproductive cycle of the cockchafer is lengthy and triggered by a combination of hormones and environment. Environmental factors, such as the time of day and season trigger endocrines in females. Females in turn send out powerful pheromones, which males detect with their large antennae. Mating occurs typically in late May and early June. Females deposit eggs in a path opposite to that of the pre-mating flight.
After copulation, eggs are deposited about 20 at a time in soft soil.
Lou Reed Wiki: Lewis Allan Reed was born on March 2, 1942, at Beth-El Hospital (later Brookdale) in Brooklyn and grew up in Freeport, NY. Reed was the son of Toby (née Futterman) (1920–2013) and Sidney Joseph Reed (1913–2005), an accountant. His family was Jewish and his grandparents were Russian Jews who had fled antisemitism; his father had changed his name from Rabinowitz to Reed. He was the guitarist, singer, and principal songwriter for the rock band The Velvet Underground and had a solo career that spanned five decades. The band soon came to the attention of Andy Warhol. One of Warhol's first contributions was to integrate them into the Exploding Plastic Inevitable. Warhol's associates inspired many of Reed's songs as he fell into a thriving, multifaceted artistic scene. Reed rarely gave an interview without paying homage to Warhol as a mentor.
It’s impossible for a single image to capture all of the multifaceted ornamentation of a male Magnificent Bird-of-paradise (Diphyllodes magnificus). Depending on the viewpoint and which of his assets he chooses to flaunt, his display can range from a brilliant metallic green breast plate to a golden yellow nape fan. The remarkable curled tail wires, which often appear black in color, flash an incredible turquoise when the angle is just right – a tool he often uses to bedazzle female visitors to his courting ground.

A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at rest. Dragonflies possess six legs (like any other insect), but most of them cannot walk well. Dragonflies are some of the fastest insects in world.
Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, and very rarely butterflies. They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic.

Cushman Motor Company is an independent family owned business who has been supplying customers with a broad variety of vehicles and other forms of equipment from the same location in Minneapolis since 1949. In the early years, the Cushman Motor Company was most closely identified with Cushman brand scooters and golf carts. Since that time, there has been a change of focus from a supplier of recreational vehicles in the Twin Cities to a multifaceted supplier of industrial equipment including compact tractors, utility vehicles, street legal low speed NEV electric vehicles, warehouse vehicles and various types of grounds care equipment to customers throughout the Midwest.

By A23H, oil painting, 1965.
Alfred 23 Harth’s artistic trajectory began in early childhood with an imaginative impulse that combined construction, performance, and visual play. As a boy he dreamt of becoming an architect, spending countless hours in his parents’ garden where he built small huts in ever-changing variations, a practice that anticipated both his restlessness for experimentation and his sense of structure as form-in-process. A decisive moment arrived in 1958, when his elder brother Dietrich—later to become a literature professor—took him to a Dada exhibition in Frankfurt am Main. Harth himself has described this encounter as his initiation into art. Among the works he saw, the piece titled The Navel—simply a black dot centered on a white sheet of paper—struck him with lasting force. Its stark minimalism revealed to him the intellectual tension between a textual title and the conceptual reduction of an artwork to pure gesture, a confrontation that laid bare the simultaneity of seriousness and play which would remain central to his understanding of the avant-garde.
Through the following years Harth’s ambitions in the arts deepened. At school he immersed himself in art courses, quickly mastering a variety of techniques and beginning to dramatize small situations in public and private settings, often appearing in phantasy costumes of his own invention. At the age of twelve his father gave him his first photo camera, which became an outlet for experimentation alongside a growing dedication to pencil drawings. These were often portraits of jazz musicians, figures whose biographies he devoured and whose artistic freedom served as inspiration. By the age of fifteen he turned to oil painting, marking a further expansion of his visual vocabulary. His family supported his emerging musical life as well. Having already played the clarinet for several years, he received his first tenor saxophone from his parents, the instrument that would become central to his later career.
The final years of school were formative in a concentrated sense. He moved to the Goethe Gymnasium, where he specialized in art studies within an advanced curriculum. This provided him not only with a technical foundation but also with a robust overview of international avant-garde movements, complemented by the thriving artistic exchange active in Frankfurt during the 1960s. Harth’s creativity spilled beyond the classroom: together with his friend Hubertus Gassner—who would later become director of the Hamburg Kunsthalle—he staged happenings and other art events. Harth founded the centrum freier cunst, an experimental initiative served as a platform for events ranging from concerts of his own free music ensemble Just Music to exhibitions of conceptual art and cross-disciplinary interventions. Simultaneously, he began producing short films and working with conceptual strategies that blurred traditional boundaries between art forms, while maintaining an intense parallel involvement in both music and school life.
After completing the Abitur in 1968, Harth initially enrolled at the Werkkunstschule Offenbach to study design, connecting his experiments in visual and spatial arts with the applied fields of form and communication. Yet the pull of pedagogy and the broader theoretical grounding offered by academia led him to switch to Goethe University, where he began training as an art teacher. Throughout this period, he never ceased his musical explorations, continuing to perform and to extend his personal synthesis of experimental art, music, and theory—a foundational blend that would define his multifaceted trajectory in the decades to come. Alfred Harth's focus on synästhetic creation was indeed a significant aspect of his artistic approach at that time. He was interested in exploring synaesthesia beyond traditional media like TV, film, or theater, aiming to realize multisensory or synästhetic works that integrated sound, visual elements, and space in novel ways. This approach reflected his broader interest in breaking conventional boundaries of artistic disciplines and engaging the audience in immersive, multi-layered experiences that could not be confined to a single medium or format.
Before visiting Cambridge (in the UK), I somehow had already a predefined picture of this city. I imagined it to be really dark, just dark brick buildings everywhere. But actually it turned out to be the complete opposite: It was a lovely very multifaceted, lively and green city and super polite people. So in fact, I was rather surprised to find such a dark corner in the city. Hence, this picture presents my stereotypical image of UK cities, which is definitely not representative for Cambridge.

The front entrance to the Community Hub is shaded by the magnificent River Red Gums which have been growing there for many years. I was pleased to see they were retained.
The new building has met the sustainability goals and is described by the architecture firm as "multifaceted, world-class, zero-emissions community facility". I could see solar panels, high windows that can be opened and this north facing entrance shaded by these panels which look reflective but in reality have little holes drilled to enable air flow ( I think). Santa is astride his golden reindeer out the front too.
While I took lots of photos inside it was only on the understanding I would share those with colleagues. But here is the YouTube video of a walk through
The mourning dove is a symbol of peace, love, and hope in many cultures and spiritual traditions.
Its gentle cooing and peaceful nature is often seen as a message from the divine, bringing comfort and guidance to those who hear it.
The mourning dove symbolism is multifaceted and complex, encompassing themes of renewal, faithfulness, and connection with the spiritual world.

Of all the species of dragonflies and damselflies found around the seven ponds and several streams around the oak woodlands at the western base of Mt. Diablo, probably the first one you'll see is the Flame Skimmer. Probably the most aptly named, this marauder of the ponds is a flash or brilliant red which, fortunate for photographers, does land on reeds from which it watches over his territory. It looks for prey and a female with which to mate (the female is a light brown, quite a contrast to the male), and can launch itself and be at 30 mph (top speed 35 give or take) and is an effective hunter.
The second most numerous of the dragon and damsels is the Tuel Damselfly, and I'm bringing this up now because I was thinking of sharing my minimal collection (maybe 10 species of the known 3,000 worldwide) over the nest couple of weeks.
Adult dragonflies are characterized by large, multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, sometimes with coloured patches, and an elongated body. Dragonflies can be mistaken for the related group, damselflies (Zygoptera), which are similar in structure, though usually lighter in build; however, the wings of most dragonflies are held flat and away from the body, while damselflies hold the wings folded at rest, along or above the abdomen. Dragonflies are agile fliers, while damselflies have a weaker, fluttery flight. Many dragonflies have brilliant iridescent or metallic colours produced by structural coloration, making them conspicuous in flight. An adult dragonfly's compound eyes have nearly 24,000 ommatidia each.
Loss of wetland habitat threatens dragonfly populations around the world. Dragonflies are represented in human culture on artifacts such as pottery, rock paintings, and Art Nouveau jewellery. They are used in traditional medicine in Japan and China, and caught for food in Indonesia. They are symbols of courage, strength, and happiness in Japan, but seen as sinister in European folklore. Their bright colours and agile flight are admired in the poetry of Lord Tennyson. (Wiki)
During our decade of drought, much of the wetlands, ponds, and streams dried up in the oak wood- and grasslands, and the loss of fresh water led to the diminishing dragonfly population until this year when water and prey are becoming more "normal" in numbers. Dragonflies MUST have fresh water to reproduce and hunt and continue it's 3 million year evolution!
All photos of all wildlife on this site were taken handheld.
Hi everyone,
I have just returned from six weeks in South-East Asia. Although my trip wasn't a 'photography trip', I did spent some time with my camera equipment particularly in Bali, Indonesia.
Although I am primarily a wildlife photographer. every once in a while I do dabble in other genres particularly the multifaceted genre of travel photography. Given that there were was little in the way of wildlife on this trip, I decided to focus my efforts mostly on portraits and landscapes.
While in Bali, one of my photography targets was Balinese dance an artform that I had long wanted to see. This is one of many memorable moments I had.
While wildlife will continue to be what I post most often, I will be mixing in some different content from time to time. I hope you enjoy something you may not have expected from me!

Foundry Barn, Boiler House and Engine House structure at Harvey's Foundry. The nearest butressed wall is the remains of boring mill. The remains are considered to be part of the UNESCO World Heritage Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape.
Harvey & Co were an important multifaceted industrial concern whose interests encompassed heavy engineering, mine supplies, ship building, shop owning, general trading, rope making, building supplies etc. The company started to decline in 1904 when the foundry and engineering works closed.
Harvey and Co eventually merged with United Builders Merchants that in turn became part of the Jewson Group.
Jewson still operate part of the Harvey site around the company's old timber yard.
Other land has been sold off but efforts are being made to conserve the remaining industrial buildings several of which have now been repurposed.

Relativity theory is a multifaceted one I conceive it could be applied in so many aspects of life, since the strict use of the formula as well as the conceptualization of Relativity itself and if you are in an environment where subjectivity and matter of tastes are on the table, relativity chase my point. Because, every mind has its own very peculiar interpretation and point of view, just as I can perceive a square.

I have managed to get a decent photographic session, at last... I went back to my favorite location, the meanders of the river Adda, yet a bit downstream the magical spot you have come to know (if you don't, you might have a look at my Silent banks album). A new location, under many respects, although the water of the river I was capturing were the same, only a few minutes down the endless stream of time. I aimed to capture the multifaceted beauty of the new, blossoming leaves. And a fresh sunrise, of course. It was a strange morning, full of surprises. The feast of colours occurred almost an hour before the official time for sunrise; I assume that it was due to the clouds being at a very high altitude. It was lucky that I was ready on that surprise time, albeit still walking towards the chattering banks of the river. Then, after a brief, glorious explosion of rosy and purple, the mood of the day progressed rather linearly towards a quiet morning bathed in a soft, veiled light that, combined with the mists from the river, lent the place a somehow ethereal mood.
When I took this exposure bracketing, the advance colourful moment was at its climaxing point, so I decided to capture the dialogue between the sky and the humble gold of the buttercups in a field. I hope you like it... [in this day of attacks I wish to dedicate this shot to my friend, Sh*]
Explored on 2024/04/15, two days after posting, a little beyond nr. 200
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-2.0/-1.0/0/+1.0/+2.0 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot). Along the journey - post-processing always is a journey of discovery to me - I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic to give a slight tonal boost to the scene, desaturating a lot and retaining mostly the boost to the tones.
As usual, I gave the finishing touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4 and played a bit with dodging and burning.

This is where the Nazi Party Rallies were held from 1933 to 1938. During World War II, the site was a place of multifaceted violence against Jews, forced laborers and prisoners of war.

It was one of Albert Speer's first works for the Nazi party and was based upon the Pergamon Altar. Its square piers are inspired by the work of Franco-American architect Paul Philippe Cret. The grandstand is famous as the building that had the swastika blown from atop it in 1945, after Germany's fall in World War II. The name "Zeppelinfeld" or "Zeppelinwiese" refers to the fact that in August 1909 Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin landed with one of his airships (LZ6) in this location.
This is the Tribute Stand where Hitler gave his speeches.

A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, suborder Anisoptera (from Greek ανισος anisos "uneven" + πτερος pteros, "wings", because the hindwing is broader than the forewing). Adult dragonflies are characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, sometimes with coloured patches, and an elongated body. Dragonflies can be mistaken for the related group, damselflies (Zygoptera), which are similar in structure though usually lighter in build; however, the wings of most dragonflies are held flat and away from the body, while damselflies hold the wings folded at rest, along or above the abdomen. Dragonflies are agile fliers while damselflies have a weaker, fluttery flight. Many dragonflies have brilliant iridescent or metallic colours produced by structural coloration, making them conspicuous in flight. An adult dragonfly eye has nearly 24,000 ommatidia.
Dragonflies are predators, both in their aquatic larval stage, when they are known as nymphs or naiads, and as adults. Several years of their life are spent as a nymph living in freshwater; the adults may be on the wing for just a few days or weeks. They are fast agile fliers, sometimes migrating across oceans, and are often but not always found near water.
Mothers have many sides to them. Yes, they are our mothers, but they are also our teachers, cooks, protectors, doctors, chauffeurs, peace makers, law enforcers, nurturers, best friends, barbers and have even been known to get on our last nerve.
In addition to all they do for us, sometimes they find times for themselves. Some enjoy gardening, sewing, writing, traveling, painting, arts and crafts, and photography. The list can go on and on.
No doubt who you are and what you enjoy today was influenced in some way by your mother.
For all of you who are a mother or know one, hope this Mother's Day will be a day for making new memories. Or a time to remember those dear ones no longer with us.
*** This wind chime hanging in our living room is one of many made by our mother. She enjoyed collecting rocks, minerals and gemstones - and she made a lot of wind chimes out of geode slabs like this one.
