About another mile of ascending until I broke through the clouds.

Photoshop allows a photographer to cheat very easily. Having that said, I have no issue with artistic 'cheating' with photoshop if it lets the viewer see what the artist intended. I know everyone came down hard on Peter Lik for his moon shot. I have no beef with Lik photoshoping his moon. Do your thing dude.
With that out of the way, there was no reflection cheating on this image. I do cheat at times, but no cheat here. Let me know what you think.
In German there is a sayin "When angels travel - the heaven laughs" - probably better translates to "The sun shines for the righteous..."
This was definitely the case on this wonderful autumnal afternoon at the Olympic Park. Six month after the Tour through South America we had the whole group as guests in Munich. What a great reunion - it felt just like we would have been in Bolivia, yesterday...

Wenn Engel reisen, dann lacht der Himmel - so auch an diesem wunderschönen Herbstnachmittag im Olympiapark.
Sechs Monate nach der Tour durch Südamerika hatten wir die ganze Gruppe als Gäste in München zu Besuch - was für ein schönes Wiedersehen - es war so, als wären wir gestern noch gemeinsam in Bolivien gewesen...
It was originally built by Werner March for the 1936 Summer Olympics. During the Olympics, the record attendance was thought to be over 100,000. Today the stadium is part of the Olympiapark Berlin.
Since renovations in 2004, the Olympiastadion has a permanent capacity of 74,475 seats and is the largest stadium in Germany for international football matches. Olympiastadion is a UEFA category four stadium and one of the world's most prestigious venues for sporting and entertainment events.
This blue hour photograph of the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics Stadium, affectionately called the “Birdnest” was taken last October during my visit to Tsinghua University and our holidays around Beijing.
It was a relatively calm evening. The waterway adjacent to the Birdnest offered a near mirror-like surface for reflections of the intricate Birdnest structure and nearby trees. Some grass by the bank of the waterway could be seen in the foreground.

So I attended the AC DC 'Power Up' concert at the Sydney (Accor) Olympic Stadium, at Homebush in western Sydney, last Friday 21st November, 2025, and then again on Monday, 25th November, 2025.
It was VERY loud but amazingly energetic. My two daughters were NOT at all impressed, arguing that Taylor Swift is far better and more popular. "Well," I argued back, "let's see who has sold more tickets, and which tickets sold the fastest?" So we looked at the Ticketek website and guess what? AC DC destroyed Taylor Swift for sales!!! "OMG," declared Miss 18, "there must be SO many old people in Sydney." See what I live with.
A mobile phone photograph of dubious quality, lol.
Processed, to some extent, in Adobe Lightroom.
Next to my workplace is located an amateur archery field. We use the broken arrows to make some parts of academic robots and machines. The arrows are made of graphite, light and strong, ideal for our purpouses.

The Australian pied cormorant (Phalacrocorax varius), also known as the pied cormorant, pied shag, or great pied cormorant, is a medium-sized member of the cormorant family. It is found around the coasts of Australasia. In New Zealand, it is usually known either as the pied shag or by its Māori name of kāruhiruhi. Older sources may refer to it as the yellow-faced cormorant. The pied cormorant is predominantly black on its back and upper surface of the wings and white on the underside with males weighing approximately 2.2 kg and females 1.7 kg. It stands between 65–85 cm tall, with a wingspan of 110–130 cm. A small yellow patch between the bill and the eye on each side of the head is likely to have been the reason for the historical common name. It has large webbed feet which it utilises to pursue fish underwater, steering with half opened wings. The bird has a large hooked bill, green eyes with a blue eye ring and black legs and feet. The eyes have a special nictitating membrane for underwater protection. The pied cormorant can often be seen spreading its wings after diving to help dry the feathers, as it has inadequate waterproofing. This lack of feather waterproofing may help the cormorant spend longer underwater due to decreased buoyancy effects. 41834
The Olympic Mountains are a mountain range on the Olympic Peninsula of the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The mountains, part of the Pacific Coast Ranges, are not especially high – Mount Olympus is the highest at 7,965 ft (2,428 m); however, the eastern slopes rise out of Puget Sound from sea level and the western slopes are separated from the Pacific Ocean by the low-lying 20 to 35 km (12 to 22 mi) wide Pacific Ocean coastal plain. The western slopes are the wettest place in the 48 contiguous states. Most of the mountains are protected within the bounds of Olympic National Park and adjoining segments of the Olympic National Forest.
The primary reason I decided to hike the well-known Hurricane Ridge trail in Olympic National Park, other than the views, was to see this endemic species, not found anywhere in the world outside of the Olympic Mountains. It didn't take me long to find a marmot, and my lifer band-tailed pige0ns were a nice bonus. While I was hoping for a marmot photo op against a green meadow, this individual posing right next to the trail and allowing such close approach was good enough.
One can describe any part of the old Olympic Stadium in Munich, Germany by simply adding “Olympic” in front. Like the stairs. But I liked the colours and the symmetry this evening. As always: Lots of interesting perspectives to discover at the stadium - which currently is being renovated for more new angles in the future.
