Probably no other Dom in Germany has seen more action when it comes to Kings than the Imperial Cathedral or Kaiserdom of Aachen fitting since it is the oldest church in Northern Europe.
The Kaiserdom houses the remains of the first great European unifier come saint Charlemagne and has coronated 30 Kings and Holy Roman Emperors since the 12th century.
Besides its importance to the German nobility it is also a pilgrimage church of the people and chock full of relics that are out for display every seven years when the new cycle of pilgrimage begins, the list of relics include: Christ’s loin cloth from the crucifixion; a cloak of Mary’s; the cloth that shrouded John the Baptists head when he was decapitated and finally the swaddling clothes of Jesus.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2 Lens at 70mm 1/25, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, Topaz Denoise, PS (Lumenzia curves masks and DXO Nik Color Efex)
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
Probably one of the cutest birds I have ever seen!
Harris's Sparrow | Zonotrichia querula
Mahnomen, MN
Probably all over now, but a shot from 22 August of Rosebay Willow Herb in Scotland. Chamaenerion angustifolium.
Probably one of the most consistent daylight jobs in Maine, POAY gets underway at CPF203 with MEC 7585 leading. Surely anything can happen, but I'm fairly sure the writing is on the wall in about 3 months when CSX will likely takeover this property. In the meantime, catch 'em while you can!
Also to note-- a few cuts of UP reefers hauling State of Maine Aroostook County potatoes to Washington State. 2022 off to a great start... who would have thought we'd see that traffic ply these rails once more.
Probably my favourite animal, the impala is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. The only extant member of the genus Aepyceros and tribe Aepycerotini, it was first described to European audiences by German zoologist Hinrich Lichtenstein in 1812.

Since many photographers are in Tuscany at the moment, I was reminded that I also have many unedited images from our trip last October. Even though there were no wildflowers or grass on the rolling hills at this time of year, we were lucky enough to have something even more important: Fog and fantastic light! At least on one morning, which happened to be the very morning we decided to visit the Podere Belvedere viewpoint. Starting from the blue hour, we photographed until an hour after sunrise, when the fog began to lift and the light became too harsh. We took quite a few images in those two hours, but my favorite ones were taken just before and during sunrise, when the light was at its best and there was still a lot of fog floating around in the valley, like in this image. Here I stopped down my lens, hoping to create a nice sun star on the right to balance out the Podere Belvedere on the left. However, the foggy conditions resulted in a rather diffuse sunrise, which probably suits the dreamy look of this image better anyway. I hope you like it!
Probably best place right now for hiking with plenty of space around you for the required social distancing.
Stay safe everyone!
... was probably lost by a wandering giant. We humans only see a sandstone rock of the Palatinate Forest, Germany, with crippled pines clinging to it. Behind the giants shoe the morning sun rises above misty forest valleys.
…hat vermutlich ein Riese auf seinen Wanderungen vergessen. Wir Menschen sehen wohl eher einen Sandsteinfelsen im Pfälzer Wald, an den sich verkrüppelte Kiefern klammern.
Hinter dem Riesenschuh steigt die Morgensonne aus einem Nebelmeer.
Probably a mating pair of Rufous Hummers. They both were taking nector. Have to put fresh stuff in tonight after dark. I make it 8 oz at a time and change it every four days.
Probably too much information, but I turn 66 today and I was thinking back to when I was a kid. My mom would yell, "up and at em, daylight in the swamp" when my sister and I needed to get up. So, I went looking for a photo the said "daylight in the swamp." This seemed appropriate. 20170211RedBudIsleLr6
It probably works best seen large if you can
l am reasonably confidant that this bird is a Boat Tailed Grackle, certainly it fits the image in my guide to Louisiana birds . There are two other similar grackles but the colour of this bird seems a perfect match for a Boat Tailed.
Obviously if any of my American contacts think I am wrong then please advise me . I noticed the bird when it made its unusual call.
The shot was taken in a boat on Lake Martin in Southern Louisiana and was of course hand held
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE
Probably couldn't be more topical with COP 26 in the neighbourhood - I have really learned to love the local turbines. Of which there are many due to it being so windy here. It's been an un seasonally wet & warm October. With rivers flooding all over the south of Scotland. The weather keeps proving that we are experiencing global warming. Here is to success at COP26.
I hope all are having a fine weekend.
Uploading from the phone today because we're in the waiting room at urgent care :) Charlie's feeling a little under the weather.
Probably the last beautiful Mercedes ever made.

With the dark clouds over the oil refineries, this picture could be a metaphor for our future with fossil fuels, which were great at one time, but which hopefully are ready disappear into the sunset!
Probably the most sorry automotive sight I've come across on the streets of the West Midlands.
Seeing some of the other shots of OOL914R from the early 2010s shows the extent to which it's deteriorated in recent years. Seems it was propped up on wood and bricks some time in the last 12 months judging by the most recent Street View photo.
Probably my favorite photo from Homossasa this trip. There were over a dozen flamingos standing around, but these three had composed themselves so well.
...probably drinking at one those weird bars! :D
La Mer is waiting for Hans to come and play with her...no, not rescue her...she can take care of herself! She is wearing the Princess Leia Cap from Blythe Chic. Thanks so much for the darling hat, Cagla! (and for the sweet glass treat!) So cloudy this afternoon...will get more shots of it! She is also wearing a Cangaway sweater, which we love too! And thank you, Blanca for everything! Love the sweet skirt too!
Probably from Michigan, not Maine. Ours are tiny and grow on low bushes.
7DWF - Macro
Bokeh Wednesday
Was probably founded at the beginning of the 14th century.Although no documents bearing this out exist tuday,we do know that when the Chorch was first mentioned in 1346 it had alredy been consecrated for divine worship. It was dedicated to St.Peter and St.Paul.
St.Peter`s Church has a triple-aisled nave with transept and ambulatory.All of it is built in the so called Baltic Gotihic style. Its closest prototype would appear to be St.Mary`s Church at Lubeck.The exterior of the Church is distinguished by its flying buttresses and elegant arches soaring over aisle and ambulatory alike.The tower was given its present apperarance in 1890.Grouped around the main building are several additional erections.To the north of the tower lies the Baptistery or Merchant`s chapel (Krämarekapellet),beloning to the 15th century.To the south lies St.Anna`s chapel,built around 1500 and dedicated to the mother of the blessed Virgin Mary.

Wingham.
Probably the most 'chilled' buzzard I've seen. It was on a post right next to the road, ignoring all the traffic. I drove past it, decided I would try to photograph it, turned the car around a couple of hundred meters down the road. The sun was behind from that direction so had to go past it again and turned around again No other cars about, camera ready, I drove to ~15m from it and stopped at the edge of the road. First few shots weren't good because of vegetation in the way. It then kindly flew 10 m to another post with no vegetation and a nice rural backdrop.
Normally they're off as soon as you pay them the slightest bit of attention.
I probably should have posted this yesterday. This is Ely Ford on the "big bend" of the Des Moines River and the hardwood covered bluff to the left is Lacey-Keosauqua State Park in southeast Iowa. Yesterday was the 100th birthday of the dedication of the park (Originally called Big Bend State Park).
Ely Ford is an interesting spot. It was a crossing spot on the river for the Mormons on their trek from Illinois to Utah. We visited the park earlier in the year and couldn't understand how anyone would dare trying to cross the river here in horse drawn wagons or in some cases hand carts. However seeing the spot this fall with the water level much lower it seemed the perfect spot to ford. The river is wide here but with the much lower water level, many exposed sand bars, and low banks on both sides of the river, it seemed possible.
Probably the best light I will catch this bird in while it has been parked at MSP since 15 MAY 2021.
Probably my favourite morning in Scotland last October. It was raining quite heavy so most photos were taken with the protection of an umbrella. This photo was taken on top of small woodland windy hillock looking back towards Glenfinnan and Loch Shiel.
Probably the pollen bearing males. Like the cedar cones and the rose petals there is a pervading spirality, in this case to optimise pollen cell packing.
Probably the UK's most beautiful jellyfish.
However I wouldn't like to get too close to it's beauty - "Stings from large lion's mane can be particularly dangerous, as the thousands of thin tentacles can each extend to several meters long. " Initially, a sting may result in itching or localised pain that may radiate to other areas of the body, potentially progressing to severe pain within 20 minutes or more.
Cyanea capillata
Oban Bay - Scotland
Many thanks as always to those who view fave and comment on my photos, however please do not get too close to this one.

Probably my last sighting of waxwings for the year. This one was taking a rest from gorging on rose hips in the spring sunshine.
Probably the most classic ex-Pere Marquette cantilever signal bridge shot along the Lake State is the shot at MP 30.8, South McGrew, on the northeast side of Flint. The CSX local from Flint to Port Huron has just left Lake State's Coldwater Yard in Flint. The job will run couple miles over the LSRC to the connection track to the CN. Then the crew will run over the CN Flint Sub from Belsay (MP 273) to Tappen (MP332) to access the CSXT Pt. Huron Sub. The Port Huron Sub is about 15 miles of old trackage along the St. Clair River. I'll take the nice set of 40's as they pass under these classic signals.
Another picture from my series on Wadenhoe in the Nene Valley in Northamptonshire. The pretty 18th century village of Wadenhoe lies between Thrapston and Oundle on the River Nene. High above it on the hill is a church that dates back to Saxon times plus numerous humps in the adjacent field. These can only be the remains of a medieval village that probably fell victim to the plague (as villages sometimes did). A "new" village was built down by the river.
There has been a watermill here since before Norman times though the building (left of centre) dates mainly from the mid-late 1700s. The millstream is shallow here and the farmer crosses the river in his tractor to reach the fields this side. Rather like in Constable's picture, The Haywain.
Probably the largest gingko one will ever see!
My first time playing around with the "Orton Effect" too.
I think its probably been over three years since I have photographed a Robin. Something I would look forward to every winter when they come down from the Mountains and can be found closer to home. They visit the farm every year so I was able to play with this lovely make Flame Robin (Petroica phoenicea) who was rather bold and posed for me nicely on this pole. I couldn't get near the females.
Our time ended on abit of a sad note when I found the resident Echidna that has featured in some of my photos hit by a car out the front. She was alive so I stood by her to stop other idiots speeding past and doing more damage while the Sherpa got a box and some gloves (very spiky animals).
None of the Vets were open so we got in contact with Wildlife Victoria. We eventually got connected with a lovely couple who were wildlife carers 20 minutes away and took the echidna there. She was hit on the nose which is their most sensitive part. I couldn't tell what other damage had been done. My main concern was that she was in pain and suffering. The couple were a retired nurse and medic so the echidna was in good hands and will get pain relief. The carers will take it to Healesville Sanctuary and if it can be saved, it will nursed back to health and released right back where we found her. I am hoping for a good outcome.
Probably a cellophane bee, Colletes sp. I thought it was a fly on the leaf, then saw that it was a bee on the screen. It's got mandibles...
Most of you probably know that there was a wildfire on Burbage Moor recently, suspected to be caused by a disposable BBQ. I also read a fascinating blog post about the work the Peak District wardens do, and was surprised that people were reporting that they had no idea open fires (and probably BBQs) are not permitted in the National Park:
thepathlesstravelled.co.uk/2023/05/29/three-days-in-may/
This section struck me on having open fires:
"They said that nothing on their social media feeds about wild camping had explained risk".
Which made me wonder where the hell were they getting their information from, and what it said. I Googled "wild camping Peak District", and found that whilst mentioning the risk of open fires (they obviously hadn't got their info from there), none of the top results mentioned BBQs and the fact they are not permitted in the National Park. I have now started a bit of a one woman crusade to get that rectified 😁 The top result, now clearly displays this information, and Bex moved the section about fires to the top of the page as requested:
www.theordinaryadventurer.com/advice/wild-camping-peak-di...
Another success here:
abrokenbackpack.com/camping-peak-district/
The page previously actively encouraged BBQs by saying, and now states. I'll try a few more over the next few days, but my other bugbear is the "Peak District Wild Camping" Facebook group. The information when joining the group states:
"Fires can be a fundamental element to a camp out but we’ve decided to ban fire posts to avoid possibly promoting any unnecessary damage to the National Park."
Is it me, or does this send entirely the wrong message? To me it reads as if fires are central to a wild camp? I mean, when was a fire ever part of leave no trace camping? I wrote to the Admin of the group, asking for this to be reconsidered, and also to add some info about BBQs being banned, but was ignored.
Not quite related, but latest I was read was him recommending Burbage Valley as a wild camping location to a first timer. Burbage Valley? You're never more than 10 minutes from the road! Not to mention the aforementioned wildfire.
Happy for you to tell me I'm being a complete killjoy, but I might be difficult to convince 😂 The same bloke runs the Snowdonia and Lake District wild camping FB groups too, all with the same group information.
And breathe 😂 Right, off to write to the supermarkets and ask them to stop selling disposable BBQs!
