7DWF, Saturdays: Landscapes
Yes, I know. I should have taken a look at the Crazy Tuesday discussions a little earlier. Though it is debatable whether this blue is pretty at all. The apartments there are certainly very expensive. Nonetheless, after the recent lost places decay (more will follow), I wanted to show something more glossy for a change ;-) Taken during a boat trip on the River Spree and Landwehr Canal in Berlin in summer 2016. This apartment house called "Living Levels" is a new residential tower located at the riverside of the Spree next to the famous East Side Gallery. The building, actually the entire development of the Spree riverside, is very controversial. Most of the new (residental) buildings are / will be luxury buildings, while affordable living space is a scarce commodity nowadays. The irony: The tenants of the Living Levels tower are now fighting against a new hotel which is supposed to be built next to their building. They claim that the hotel will block out the morning sun.
At this point I still had my manual vintage 50mm Zuiko lens mounted, but the 100 mm (crop factor 2 for MFT) on my OM-D were too much tele. Later on that trip I switched to the m.zuiko digital 17mm f1.8.
Wohnturm "Living Levels" am Spreeufer neben der East Side Gallery. Das Bauprojekt (eigentlich alle Bauprojekte dort) war sehr umstritten, Stichwörter: Verdrängung, Gentrifizierung, Mediaspree... Nun klagen die Bewohner des Luxubaus selbst, denn neben ihrem Haus soll nicht nur ein Hotel errichtet werden (bereits in der ursprünglichen Planung enthalten), es soll auch noch zwei Stockwerke höher werden als geplant. Und das nimmt ihnen die Morgensonne weg.
Aufgenommen während einer Bootsfahrt auf Spree und Landwehrkanal im Sommer 2016. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte ich noch mein manuelles 50-mm-Zuiko drauf, aber die 100 mm, die daraus an meiner OM-D werden, waren doch zu viel Tele. Später habe ich dann das m.zuiko digital 17mm f1.8 angeschraubt.

Dirty little secrets, SL is full of them. Have you ever been someone’s dirty little secret? Did you even know that was what you were? We’ve all been there once or twice. Or three times. Here’s to learning from the past and never being a secret again. Now Dirty is another thing entirely.
XOXO

The Cinco de Mayo bush was victimized by the bunnies when I first planted, but some short fencing has fended them off. Now I just have to worry about fungi and insects.

The theme for for "Smile on Saturday" for Saturday 7th of June is "portray the letter P", where, as the name suggests you need to portray the letter P in some way. In this case, I have used pretty pieces of découpage paper from my collection to form the letter P. There is even a pansy in there for good measure! I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Scrapbooking was a popular pastime in Victorian times for both children and adults. Creating a scrapbook was not only a craft project, it was also a way of preserving memories.
In the 1800s, the automated printing press was invented. Suddenly books and printed material became much more widely available. As well as writing in their commonplace books, people began to cut out and stick in printed items. Things like greeting cards, calling cards, postcards, prayer cards, advertising trading cards and newspaper clippings were collected. Some of these books contained a mix of personal journal entries, hand-drawn sketches and watercolours, along with various scraps of printed material. These books were literally books of scraps.
By the 1820s, collectable scraps had become more elaborate. Some items were embossed: a process by which a die (a metal stamp for cutting or pressing) was punched into the reverse side of the paper, giving the front a raised three-dimensional appearance.
In 1837, the first year of Queen Victoria's reign, the colour printing process known as chromolithography was invented. This lead to the production of ‘ready made’ scraps. Brightly coloured and embossed scraps were sold in sheets with the relief stamped out to the approximate shape of the image. These pre-cut scraps were connected by small strips of paper to keep them in place. The laborious task of cutting out small pictures was thus removed, and sales of scraps went soaring. Many of the best-quality scraps of the period were produced in Germany, where bakers and confectioners used small reliefs to decorate cakes and biscuits for special occasions such as christenings, weddings, Christmas and Easter.
These embossed chromolithograph scraps are of German and British origin and date from the 1880s.

Saw lots of Ring-necked Pheasant but they duck away quickly so it was fun to catch this guy just as he spotted me and then made his getaway.

Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
My beloved mushrooms survived the snow! I love that not even an inch of snow is considered pretty wild here in Victoria! I've got another angle that I'll test out on you guys later.
Have a fabulous day.
Salt water lake high in the Bolivian Andes. This lake was above 4,400 M and the next morning was snowed and iced over. The weather changes quickly in this part of the world!
Depending on the weather and time of day these lakes can look quite red to a more bluish color - with the low clouds and evening sunset, the lake was a perfect hue of pink on this day
A special Thank you to~~Edob2009, Nina Liza and shayadave for the nice testimonials you wrote about me!!! What a nice surprise!!! Thank you all for your nice comments and visits!! We are digging out of 8 inches of new snow that fell yesterday!

Ninebark in someone's yard, leaves coming out before the chlorophyll enters the chloroplasts (this usually takes just a few days). The leaves will turn lovely colors again when the chlorophyll breaks down in fall.
This might even be one of the purple leaf cultivars
I stopped out at the fishing pier today to check on the Osprey and this young Great Blue Heron landed right next to one of the fisherman - possibly looking for a handout. With the Osprey not in sight I pointed my camera at the closest photographic subject. The water of Lake Erie provided a nice background for this portrait.
