Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black
The Königssee is a lake located in the extreme southeast of the German state of Bavaria, near the border with Austria. It's all part of the Berchtesgaden National Park. Located at a Jurassic rift it was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It stretches about 7.7 km. The lake similar to a fjord is surrounded by steeply rising flanks of mountains up to 2700 m. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven passenger ships, rowing and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. Due to its picturesque setting, the lake and surrounding parklands are very popular with tourists and hikers. In addition, the lake's position surrounded by sheer rock walls creates an echo, which is known for its clarity. St. Bartholomä, a famous pilgrimage church with a small inn nearby, is located on a peninsula about halfway down the western lakeshore. It named for Saint Bartholomew the Apostle Bartholomäus in German. A first chapel at the lake was built in 1134 from 1697 onwards it has been rebuilt in a Baroque style with a floor plan modelled on Salzburg Cathedral, two onion domes and a red domed roof. St. Bartholomä and the southern edge can only be reached by boat or via hiking trails up the surrounding mountains.
It seems like summertime joy but actually Samantha is running away from an irratating bee. Photo taken in St. Bartholomä at the Königssee - Germany.
De Königssee is een meer in het uiterste zuidoosten van de Duitse deelstaat Beieren, nabij de grens met Oostenrijk. Het is het diepste meer van Duitsland, met een maximale diepte van 190 m. De Königssee is 7,7 km lang. Vrijwel heel het meer ligt in het Nationaal Park Berchtesgaden. Het landschap is vandaag de dag nog net zo onberoerd en betoverend als in de tijd van de koningen. Omgeven door hoge rotswanden ligt de smaragdgroene Königssee als een fjord temidden van de Beierse Alpen. De bedevaartskerk St. Bartholomä met zijn rode koepeldaken, het symbool van de Königsee, is enkel per electroboot bereikbaar. Wanneer de stuurman tijdens de overtocht op zijn trompet blaast, klinkt de wereldberoemde echo van de Königssee, de melodie wordt enkele seconden herhaald – verder heerst hier een heerlijke rust. De rode koepeldaken en uivormige torenkoepels sieren de buitenkant, het interieur van de barokke kerk is een weerspiegeling van de Salzburger Dom. Als in een prentenboek ligt de bedevaartkerk voor het bergpanorama van de Watzmann op een landtong in de smaragdgroene Königssee. De berg als legende omgeven van sagen. De fascinatie van de bergen is zelden duidelijker als bij het symbool van het Berchtesgadener Land. De beroemde oostwand van de Watzmann, die met zijn 1800m - vertikaal de hoogste rotswand van de Alpen is. De wand is steeds opnieuw een uitdaging voor veel bergbeklimmers. Het water van de Königssee is het schoonste meer van Duitsland en voldoet aan de kwaliteiten van drinkwater. Steile rotsen, donkere wouden, wilde ravijnen en gletsjers, maar ook bekoorlijke almen en liefelijke dalen. Flora en fauna worden in Duitsland's nationaalpark aan hun lot overgelaten. De bezoeker beleeft een andere bijna vergane wereld, die hier in stand gehouden en wetenschappelijk onderzocht wordt. Zo bewaren ze hier het heden een stuk verleden voor de toekomst. Het is wat mij betreft vrijwel het mooiste meer van de Alpen en zeker het mooiste van Duitsland.
Chesterfield market is one of the biggest open-air markets in the country, selling everything from cutlery to carpets, from shirts to shoes, from pans to potatoes. Whatever you want to buy, there’s a stall selling it somewhere – it’s just a matter of finding it among all the stalls packed into the town centre.
The market is on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. See www.visitchesterfield.info
The earliest record of the market was in 1165, when the Sheriff of Derbyshire recorded a receipt of £1 2s 7d from the market.
PHEW.......Without bloodshed........Hokey Cokey Day.In out shake it all about.....................It was always about Money..now all we need are friends........A marriage not made in heaven . Now watch the messy divorce.

The Luang Prabang Night Market has perhaps the most extensive collection of handicrafts for sale in the country, with a wide variety of textiles, clothing, carvings, basketry, quilts, and much more. The market is open daily from dusk until about 10pm. Taking a stroll through the night market is an enjoyable experience in itself and is something that should not be missed for those visiting Luang Prabang. Shopping is still an informal affair in Luang Prabang. There are hundreds of temporary and semi-permanent shops, stalls, and blankets spread on the ground, where virtually everyone converges to buy and sell most anything. Here the primitive hill tribesman or woman comes face to face with the modern western traveler in a milieu strange to both of them. Yet, life comes easily here and such anomalies are taken, as a matter of course, with a broad smile.

De beroemde nachtmarkt heeft een enorm aanbod aan handwerk producten en souvenirs
waar de bergbewoners hun traditionele spullen verkopen. Erg gezellig! Op de markt hebben ze ook veel sieraden, beddenlakens, kussenslopen, tassen en geinige T-shirts. Dus ook qua kopen is het een Walhalla en natuurlijk moet je overal afdingen. ’s Avonds is het heerlijk slenteren over de nachtmarkt, die zich tussen het postkantoor en het voormalige paleis bevindt. Tot laat op de avond kunt u hier terecht voor je koopjes. In een steegje dat vanaf de markt naar de rivier de Mekong loopt, kunt je bij tientallen stalletjes lokale lekkernijen en exotisch fruit proeven.

Original painting: ‘The Scream’ by Edvard Munch.
Just a note: I’m sure other people have done this before, but I liked the idea anyway. I didn’t take shots of other people’s creations. I took the skeleton images separately, using my skeleton props, and morphed the parts I needed, into the screenshots of the actually paintings. Done just for fun this Halloween......not going to sell them or use them anywhere but here or instagram......just goofing off.

Took a drive out to Penrith and a road that I have not travelled before, ending up in Springwood Blue Mountains. Traveling through a township called Yarramundi, I came across a property that had a old rusted truck and the old Holden Panel Van sitting at the front gate.

No, that lady's name most likely is not Kate. She is in the shape of S, though. She definitely makes the shot more interesting.
Iceland also is not for sale. Sorry, Mr. President.
Come Skate Iceland.

I bought the Rolleiflex from the original owner. He paid $275 for it new in 1954.
