Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Looking Close on Friday is : pencil points ! Yes, there is an exclamation point since this theme deserve it ! I love pencils and I love pencils points !
While searching for the perfect pencil points, I stumbled upon this red flying pencil, trying to kiss his old grey lover… So I grabbed my camera and took a picture just before the whole scene disappeared and the red pencil flied away in a blink of an eye…The moral of this story is dont blink or you might miss something! And other moral; dont drink alcohol while taking pictures or you might see some stuff that doesn’t make sense…
I wish you all a beautiful day !! See you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

…dass wir mittendrin sind im Klimawandel, merken wir am Wetter, das immer extremer wird. Noch vollzieht sich die Veränderung schleichend und ist verkraftbar für uns. Doch dann können plötzlich Kipppunkte auftreten.
Ein einziger Kipppunkt kann eine ganze Kettenreaktion auslösen – ähnlich wie bei Dominosteinen. Wird einer von ihnen gekippt, schiebt dieses Element die Erde auf einen weiteren Kipppunkt zu…

...that we are in the midst of climate change, we notice from the weather, which is becoming more and more extreme. The conversion is still taking place gradually and is manageable for us. But then tipping points can suddenly appear.
A single tipping point can set off an entire chain reaction - similar to dominoes. If one of them is tilted, this element pushes the earth towards another tipping point...

An older image from the harbour in Flensburg! I found it to be a wonderful place. Since they keep "the points" there (traffic violations and such) I was pleased that there was so much more to this city. I would love to return there one day.
You may remember my submission for theme # 37; Flame, where I used a reflection of some painting with light to produce an image of owls sitting in a tree.
Well those same owl have now taken up syncronised fledging at angles of 45 degrees to each other.

*The Golden Handle (pl. see notebox) is clearly to be seen but only for a few hours - about 10-11 days after New Moon or two days after the first quarter - when the sun rises on top of the Jura Mountains, the ridge is illuminated while the Sinus Iridium is in shadow

I think this was a young princeling of a stag. He needs 12 points to be a Royal and 14 to be a Monarch. I'm told it was rather harsh judging him for just being a six pointer: after all it's not his fault. But when I had spotted a deerling (2 points) on a hillock close to the road I grabbed my long (crappy) lens and fired some shots at him, only to notice after a while that there were bigger antlers poking over the ridge and this chap emerged to stand on the skyline against black and white snowy mountains in the background. I thought I had hit the jackpot until I realised this was nothing like a Monarch of the Glen, that I wanted to bag.

Been away over the holiday when all the "fun" with this site began and I must say I am not impressed. Has there been any communication form flickr?
