Not far from the Binding Brewery in Frankfurt am Main stands a building that clearly stands out from the rest of the buildings in the Sachsenhausen district: the Sonnenring. It is one of the buildings designed by architect Günther Balser, was built between 1969 and 1975, and is considered to be an example of brutalist architecture.
Unweit des Standortes der Binding Brauerei in Frankfurt am Main steht ein Gebäude, das sich deutlich von der übrigen Bebauung im Stadtteil Sachsenhausens abhebt: Der Sonnenring. Er zählt zu den Bauten des Architekten Günther Balser, entstand in der Zeit von 1969 bis 1975 und wird dem Architekturstil Brutalismus zugerechnet.
Drops of rain by KrystynaMaria Postawa
Drops of rain behind the window,
tears in my eyes...
A dark sky,
a lonely heart...
A lot of grey, sad days -
these are days without you...
Somewhere blossoms the azalea -
not for me, not for me.
The sun will shine again,
when you will appear here.
The flowers will smell again,
when you will stand near...
You will smile at me,
you will cuddle me,
you will hold by my hand
and take with into your dream...
Drops of rain behind the window,
tears in my eyes...
I found this beauty this morning coming in the door to my house. She was calling me over...I felt honored to capture her!

Sunrise at Onrusstrand - South Africa. The direction of the light might be a bit confusing to you due to an orange light on the beach shining from behind me, It is probably to protect the beach from poachers. I was a bit disappointed by its presence, but I figured, if you can't beat it join it. It was anyways too late to go somewhere else. So I tried to create some interesting effects making use of it.

Traigh Niosaboist on the Isle of Harris, looking out across the Sound of Taransay towards the peaks of Beinn Dubh, Beinn Losgaintir, and Ceann Reamhair. Catching a wave breaking in 3 places at the same time, in line with the mountains... that's as close as I got to the mark.
I am in such a terrible mood this afternoon. My daughter has been so clingy lately. She has been enjoying her ballet lessons for the last couple of weeks but today she absolutely refused to let me go and wouldn't join her class. I am beside myself. To calm myself down, I took this photo but I'm not really happy with it. Or maybe I'm not happy with the way I handled things today.
Highlights of dawn - An early start to catch sunrise on a clear late May morning, with the first light of dawn highlighting a hint of dew on the young spring grass underneath a silhouetted copse of trees

SENSE OF WONDER
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leaves you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....
I hope you dance,
---Lee Ann Womack

This beautiful Grade I-listed Church in Gressingham in the north of Lancashire dates back to the 12th century. The remains from that era include a Norman doorway. The church was partly rebuilt in 1734 when the three-stage tower was constructed. It was then refurbished in the latter part of the 19th century by the renowned church architect, E G Paley.

Some of you may not recognize the political reference, but when coming upon this remarkable scene, I was immediately reminded of Hillary Clinton's words referencing the "irredeemable half of Trump supporters" mentioned last Friday in a speech to a group of wealthy, sniggering donors. This translates to literally millions of voters and real people. (I found it particularly appropriate that this group was orange in Trump-like fashion.)
While this is not meant to express a personal position, it is meant to point out the unbelievable malaise with our politics as expressed in this election and the words and tactics BOTH sides are now using. As one who has been a close observer of the US democracy for over 50 years, there has never been anything remotely like it and presents a sorry commentary indeed. Whatever the result, the country will be even more severely divided and angry with little hope for compromise on any level whatsoever.

A trio of brown chinese geese (anser cygnoides) approaching the sea as if considering whether to take a dip. It was a very hot day but, despite their apparent intentions, they soon moved off down the beach. Photographed on the island of Pangkor, in Malaysia.
The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) is one of the largest species of owl, and females can grow to a total length of 75 cm, with a wingspan of 180 cm, with males being smaller. So this little ball of fluff still has some growing to do.
This picture of a tame (!) fledgling was taken during a workshop at a falconry.
Der Uhu ist eine der größten Eulenarten der Welt. Weibchen, die deutlich größer werden als Männchen, können eine Flügelspannweite von ca. 180 cm erreichen. Dieser kleine Flaumball muss also noch ordendlich wachsen!
Das Foto dieses zahmen (!) Ästlings wurde während eines Workshops in einer Falknerei aufgenommen.

Shot of the inside of the main corridor of the grand sheikh zayed mosque.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was initiated by the late president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who wanted to establish a structure which unites the cultural diversity of Islamic world, the historical and modern values of architecture and art. His final resting place is located on the grounds beside the same mosque.
The mosque was constructed from 1996 to 2007. It is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates.
The building complex measures approximately 290 m (960 ft) by 420 m (1,380 ft), covering an area of more than 12 hectares (30 acres), exclusive of exterior landscaping and vehicle parking.
The Church of Our Lady (Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk) is a Roman Catholic church in Bruges, Belgium, dating mainly from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. Its 115.6-metre-high (379 ft) tower remains the tallest structure in the city and the third tallest brickwork tower in the world (after St. Mary's Church in Lübeck and St. Martin's Church in Landshut, both in Germany).
The church demonstrates the Gothic style in the prominent Flying buttresses on the exterior which were constructed in the 1270s and 80s.[1] The nave contains cross-vaults and black and white tiled flooring.[1] The interior demonstrates the heavily ornamented Baroque style in the side aisles and chancel.[1] One of the chapels in the church was created in 1482 for a wealthy man named Lodewijk van Gruuthuse, as his personal worship area.[1]
Fox squirrels on a spring day in Ann Arbor, Thursday June 2nd, 2022. Lots of mommas who are still nursing their little ones, who are definitely starting to make their way on campus. Also saw a few bunnies, including the poor juvenile with tics on her ears. Wishing you joy, health and peace wherever you are.
You are my means of finding Paradise,
everything about you ... my lucky dice.
You lay me down slowly
in our vast field of dreams.
Nightly I replay reels of our love scenes.
It's sweet serenity
thriving in fields of dreams.
Orlando, Florida is nicknamed "The City Beautiful" and its symbol is the fountain at Lake Eola. Orlando is also known as "The Theme Park Capital of the World" and its tourist attractions draw more than 57 million tourists a year, including 4.1 million international guests.
The first monument in the Mughal style is the tomb of Humayun, which was built in 1569 AD, it is the first link of the first building of the typical Timur form on the land of India and the series of Tomb of Gardens developed by the Mughals. it is a beautiful red sandstone tomb which was designed by a Persian architect. The tomb was built in standard charbagh (literally meaning four gardens), in which the water was divided into 4 separate quadrupeds. Which is later seen in the Taj Mahal?
It's the leaning tower of Talacre. Over time the lighthouse foundations have loosened and now the tower leans at a few degrees off the vertical.
“A good book is a lighthouse; a wise man is a lighthouse; conscience is a lighthouse; compassion is a lighthouse; science is a lighthouse! They all show us the true path! Keep them in your life to remain safe in the rocky and dark waters of life!”

Memories of yesterday
they were a moment in time
A warm summer's breeze
the smell of fresh air
a dog barks, the birds sing
amidst the ...echoes of laughter.
