Whoo hoo, hubby persuaded me to get a new P&S camera today while we were shopping and I was looking at all the options and umming and ahhing!!
So I will have to do some experimenting - it's a Canon PowerShot SX150 - I really hope it lives up to the salesman's description! (This was taken with my existing Nikon Coolpix S3100 with a Little Big Shot Macro lens attached)
Thanks so much for stopping by, your comments, hints, tips and visits are always appreciated.
Have a Wonderful Weekend!
11Fountains are a group of fountains in the Frisian eleven cities that were placed in the context of Leeuwarden-Fryslân in 2018 (Cultural Capital of Europe).

"The Oort Cloud" by the French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel in Franeker refers to the astronomer Jan Hendrik Oort who was born in Franeker and came up with the hypothesis that an Oort cloud must be located in the outer regions of the solar system, far away from the planets. The cloud is symbolized by the mist rising above the fountain. The water runs down from a large bowl. This is supported by a kind of dark pearl necklaces. One pearl has the color of the moon and one has the color of the sun.

''De Oortwolk" door de franse kunstenaar Jean-Michel Othoniel in Franeker refereert aan de astronoom Jan Hendrik Oort die in Franeker geboren is en met de hypothese kwam dat zich in de buitenste regionen van het zonnestelsel een Oortwolk moest bevinden, ver verwijderd van de planeten. De wolk wordt gesymboliseerd door de nevel die bovenuit de fontein opstijgt. Het water loopt vanuit een grote schaal naar beneden. Deze wordt ondersteund door een soort donkere parelkettingen. Een parel heeft de kleur van de maan en een heeft de kleur van de zon.

Heavy rains this morning and then all sunshine!
As this very colorful! and loud! umbrella was drying it reminded me of a butterfly
I find leaves to be beautiful objects from nature with all kinds of patterns colors and textures. I photographed this beautiful specimen at the San Diego Botanic Building in Balboa Park, San Diego.
Other pictures that I've taken of leaves are in my Leaves album.

Last week I visited Berlin. 24 hours aren’t much time unless you are Jack Bauer the main character of 24. I came to visit my good old friends. If you read this, thanks for everything, it was a great time.
Of course I took come shots of the great architectural scene over there. The first is of a place called Sony Center. It has a roof which is made from parts that are supposed to look like sails.
As I really love sailing this planets oceans the roof was of course fascinating to me. If you ever go there be sure to bring a wide lens. The roof is really huge. You are not able to capture the whole thing with a 18mmm on a crop camera!
However… The locations also reminds me on all these movies where people sit in a spaceship shooting around with guns in front of these huge glass wall with the space in the background.
If you have ever seen a movie like this you might know what I am talking about
I wish a beautiful and creative week to all of you!

This is a photo of sunlight refractions on the submerged sand patterns in the shallow estuary river that flows across the beach at Clam Harbour Beach.
Well, I loved my grater pattern so much I thought I'd try one with different colours underneath. It reminds me of rainbow sherbet, lol!
