Two prominent peaks of the Alaska range rise above the Chulitna river shortly after dawn. Makes our human frailties and problems seem quite small in comparison when standing here.

 

Thanks for taking a peak peek!

El Palacio de Cristal se construyó en 1887 con motivo de la Exposición de las Islas Filipinas de ese mismo año.

Se sitúa en el Parque del Buen Retiro de Madrid.

Su estructura es metálica, y está totalmente cubierto por planchas de cristal, característica prominente que le dió el nombre de Palacio de Cristal.

 

Frente al palacio se observa un lago artificial con ejemplares de Ciprés de los pantanos (Taxodium distichum), ciprés característico porque su tronco y raices se hunden en el agua.

 

Todo un clásico madrileño.

The Constantine and Helena (Eleni) Church, the most prominent church built during Ottoman period in Mustafapaşa (then, Sinasos), is located at the place that used to be the Marketplace before the population Exchange. The basilica planned church has a barrel vault, three naves and three apses, and there is an open courtyard on the west. Above the entrance door on the west face of the church, there is an eight-line inscription written on the marble stone in Greek letters. It was written from the mouth of the church in a way that no other example can be found in the region:

 

“Following pagans, holy kings

I am the temple of the faithful Constantine and Helena.

I was partially built during the reign of Sultan Ahmet.

I was decorated as necessary during the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid.

During the high priesthood of the famous Pasios,

With the struggle and expenditures of the Sinosos community,

I had been built from the foundations in 1729. In 1850, I was repaired”.

The prominent church in the background is the Christuskirche, a protestant church. Not what you expect given that Mainz was one of the three archdioceses being elector in the Holy Roman Empire. Further in the back is a paper factory in Mainz-Kostheim which actually belongs to Wiesbaden on the other side of the Rhein and which borders the river Main. Lots of 'not-what-you-expects' if you know a thing about Mainz.

These are really winding up for the breeding season now. Lots of singing (like a squeaky wheelbarrow), perching prominently whilst doing so. Lots of little chases in the undergrowth with tail-twirling - those females are very flirty (is one allowed to say that these days?)

The Deccan Gazelle is a subspecies of the Chinkara or Indian Gazelle.

This small antelope is able to live with minimal water and lives in dry regions of India, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan.

The males have prominent S-shaped horns and some females have short horns.

...City

 

While Rome is the Eternal City one might call Berlin the eternal building site. Or The Unfinished City. Construction cranes are as prominently featured in Berlin's skyline as sights. And it can happen that, if you haven't visited a place in a longer while ("easy" in pandemic times), you'll find old, familiar buildings gone, while new buildings seem to pop up out of nowhere everywhere. I've taken this image last week after a visit to the Futurium (a "House of the Future", opened in 2019 – I'll post images from there soon); in the foreground you can see the river Spree, and the glass building on the left is Berlin's Central Station, the Hauptbahnhof (HBF). Noteworthy: The HBF's upper platforms aren't fully roofed, because the Deutsche Bahn (DB; the German Railway Company) wanted to open the HBF in time for the 2006 World Football Championship by all means, and it would have taken until 2008 to finish the roof. The irony: All the construction parts needed to finish the roof were already manufactured. To this date these parts are stored on the premises of Berlin's East Station. Will the roof ever be finished? Who knows... The construction site you see in front of the HBF has nothing to do with the HBF's roof. It is that of the new S 21 suburban railway line, which is scheduled for completion in 2022. Allegedly...

 

At first, I wanted to process this as a monochrome, because the scene is rather busy. But I liked all these colours. So I thought "embrace the chaos, embrace the construction site and all those cranes", and do it in colour ;) The final image is an HDR made from three images (in HDR Efex), with further processing / sliding steps in Color Efex.

 

Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and healthy, and take care!

 

Die Unvollendete

 

Rom ist ja bekanntlich die Ewige Stadt. Und Berlin könnte man getrost als die Ewige Baustelle bezeichnen. Oder auch als Die Unvollendete. Baukräne gehören zur Berliner Skyline wie seine Sehenswürdigkeiten. Gerade in Pandemiezeiten, wenn man manche Orte schon lange nicht mehr besucht hat, kann es dann auch passieren, dass alte, vertraute Gebäude plötzlich verschwunden sind, während allerorten Neues entsteht. Dieses Foto des Hauptbahnhofs mit einem Seitenarm der Spree im Vordergrund habe ich vergangene Woche nach einem Besuch des Futuriums (2019 eröffnet, Fotos von dort zeige ich demnächst) gemacht. Die Baustelle am Europaplatz, die Ihr hier seht, bedeutet allerdings nicht, dass die Deutsche Bahn nun doch das Dach für die oberen Bahnsteige des Hauptbahnhofs verlängern würde. Die dafür nötigen Bauteile, längst fertiggestellt, lagern weiterhin (hoffentlich gut verstaut) am Berliner Ostbahnhof. Diese Baustelle gehört zur neuen S-Bahnlinie S21, für die ein unterirdischer Bahnsteig gebaut wird. Geplante Fertigstellung: 2022. Warten wir's ab.

 

Ich wollte das Foto erst als SW / getöntes Monochrom bearbeiten, weil hier ja ganz schön viel los ist. SW sah mir aber zu trüb aus, weshalb ich bei Farbe geblieben bin. Das Foto habe ich in HDR Efex aus einer 3er-Belichtungsreihe erstellt und für Sliders Sunday in Color Efex noch den einen oder anderen Filter (ich weiß wirklich nicht mehr, welche Filter genau) angewendet.

 

Habt einen guten Wochenstart und passt weiterhin gut auf Euch auf!

Chilehaus

Hamburg

1922-24 by Fritz Höger

 

"Chilehaus is a ten-storey office building constructed in the Brick Expressionist style. The huge structure, which has a 5,950-square-metre footprint and offers 36,000 square metres of space, spans Fischertwiete. Its distinctive façades meet to form a prominent tip – the sharpest angle of its type in Europe – that creates the effect of an imposing ship’s prow.

 

The curved exterior makes the building appear light and graceful despite its size, while the bricks of the carefully crafted clinker façade shimmer in different shades depending on the weather. Chilehaus is especially impressive when it is illuminated at night, shining majestically in all its splendour." chilehaus.de

Eastern Chipmunk.

 

Between 8 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches in length. Reddish brown above with a white belly. 1 white stripe bordered by 2 black stripes on sides ending at the rump. 2 white stripes on back much thinner than side stripes. Dark center stripe down the back. Pale facial stripes above and below the eyes. Tail brown on tip and edged with black. Prominent ears.

 

The Eastern Chipmunk's habitat includes open deciduous woodlands, forest edges, brushy areas, bushes and stone walls in cemeteries and around houses.

 

They range from southeastern Canada and the north-eastern U.S. east from North Dakota and eastern Oklahoma and south to Missisippi, northwest Carolina and Virginia.

Das Thyssenkrupp-Hauptquartier, offiziell auch als „thyssenkrupp Quartier“ bezeichnet, ist die Konzernzentrale der Thyssenkrupp AG im Westviertel der Stadt Essen. Das Quartier ist Kern des städtebaulichen Projektes Krupp-Gürtel und steht genau auf dem Grund, auf dem Krupp mit der Gussstahlfabrik in Essen seine Wurzeln hat. Der neue Bürocampus ist ein Ensemble aus verschiedenen Einzelgebäuden, die auf einem „grünen Teppich“ mit Bäumen, verbindenden Wegen und kleinen Plätzen angeordnet sind. Dem Konzern als Auftraggeber war es dabei besonders wichtig, dass sich die Neubauten flexibel an Veränderungsprozesse innerhalb des Unternehmens anpassen lassen. Die Kosten für den ersten Bauabschnitt des Hauptquartiers werden auf über 300 Millionen Euro beziffert.

 

Das Gebäude Q1 als Hauptgebäude des neuen Campus ist als markanter Hochpunkt auf der zentralen Wasserachse platziert, die dem Gelände seine Struktur verleiht. Neben diesem und weiteren Bürogebäuden gehören eine öffentliche Kita, das Veranstaltungsgebäude Q2, ein Parkhaus und eine Tiefgarage zum Quartier. Der städtebauliche und architektonische Entwurf des Campus steht für Offenheit, Begegnung und Kommunikation – innerhalb des Quartiers und nach außen in die angrenzenden Stadtteile.

  

The Thyssenkrupp headquarters, also officially known as the “thyssenkrupp Quartier”, is the corporate headquarters of Thyssenkrupp AG in the western quarter of the city of Essen. The quarter is the core of the urban development project Krupp-Gürtel and stands exactly on the ground on which Krupp with the cast steel factory in Essen has its roots. The new office campus is an ensemble of various individual buildings arranged on a “green carpet” with trees, connecting paths and small squares. As the client, it was particularly important to the group that the new buildings could be flexibly adapted to change processes within the company. The costs for the first construction phase of the headquarters are estimated at over 300 million euros.

 

Building Q1 as the main building of the new campus is placed as a prominent high point on the central water axis, which gives the site its structure. In addition to this and other office buildings, a public day-care center, the Q2 event building, a multi-storey car park and an underground car park are part of the quarter. The urban and architectural design of the campus stands for openness, encounters and communication - within the quarter and to the outside in the neighboring districts.

This shot was taken at the same place as one of the previous posts of this series. I used different focus on prominent spikes and let the landscape in background blurred. This one is not HDR in contrary to previous post and the different software was used to develop RAW file - this time I tried new version of DxO OpticsPro.

This shot will help one understand why the bird is named 'Bronzed'. The bird is a daily visitor to the backyard and it loves to announce its arrival with a harsh grating call. Also they choose prominent perches from where to scan the surroundings for prey and so it makes it easy for us to get good shots of them. They are great flyers and are a joy to watch. They actively forage for insects under the forest canopy by making acrobatic aerial sallies, often returning to their favourite perches.

At this time of year, the moor is looking desolate. The lighter patches in between the darker heather are areas where the older heather has been burnt during the winter to allow fresh young heather to re-generate and grass to grow to feed the sheep. The valley in the background is the beautiful Rosedale

It is described as a Waymarker cross. Early C19. Diagonally-tooled gritstone. Square section cross on a rectangular base

 

The original top of Ain Howe Cross, or Ana Cross as it is usually called today, is in the crypt of Lastingham church. Several years ago the cross was repaired and today it stands proud and prominent on Spaunton Moor between Rosedale and Lastingham and is the tallest cross on the moors.

Sonnenberg Gardens, also known as Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park, Canandaigua, New York, USA, at the North end of Canandaigua Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. The house and gardens are open to the public every day, May through October.

The property was once the summer home of Frederick Ferris Thompson, a prominent banker in New York City, and his wife Mary Clark Thompson, whose father, Myron Holley Clark, was Governor of New York State in 1855. The Clark family was from Canandaigua, NY. Mr. & Mrs. Thompson's main home was in NYC in a large townhouse on Madison Avenue. The Thompsons purchased the Sonnenberg property in 1863, keeping the name, Sonnenberg (which means "sunny hill" in German). In 1887, they replaced the original farmhouse with a forty-room Queen Anne style mansion. The property also had a 100-acre farm to the east. Sonnenberg's gardens were designed and built between 1902–1919, and originally consisted of nine gardens in a variety of styles.

Zempasuchitl, or flor de muerto are marigold flowers, and they figure prominently in Day of the Dead celebrations. It is believed that the strong aroma of the flowers draws the spirits who return to visit their families at this time.

 

The word "zempasuchitl" comes from the Nahuatl (the language spoken by the Aztecs) and means twenty-flower: Zempoa, meaning "twenty" and xochitl, "flower" and refers to the many petals of the flower.

 

There are more than 1.6 million Nahuatl-speakers in Mexico.Not all indigenous Mexicans are descendants of Nahuatl-speaking people. In total there are more than 68 indigenous languages in Mexico today spoken by more than 6 million people.

 

Parasol mushrooms are prominent throughout European folklore. In Scotland, legend has it that fairies sit atop Parasol mushrooms and use them as dinner tables. In Wales, fairies supposedly use the Parasol mushroom as umbrellas. Parasol mushrooms have also been commonly featured in the artwork of Europe, and in 1995, a stamp in Azerbaijan featured Parasol mushrooms. In addition to folklore, Parasol mushrooms grow in some Himalayan regions where it is common for cattle herders to collect wild Parasols for food.

Dr. Toichi Itoh was a prominent Japanese physicist best known for his work in the field of condensed matter physics. His work has had a lasting impact on both theoretical and applied physics.

 

In 1948 Dr. Itoh also successfully created 7 peonies by hybridizing herbaceous and tree peonies to combine the hardiness and habit of herbaceous peonies with the color range, flower size and extended flowering period of tree peonies. Dr. Itoh passed away before ever seeing his creations bloom. Years later, American horticulturist, Louis Smirnow bought some of the original Itoh peonies from Dr. Itoh’s widow and continued Itoh’s work. These peonies are named Itoh peonies after Dr. Itoh.

 

Herbaceous peonies do not thrive in San Francisco, but Itoh peonies perform quite well. It can take several years for them to become well enough established to produce an abundance of blooms. This one lives in a large pot in our garden and is just beginning its blooming season.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

The Elihu Benjamin Washburne House was built for and owned by Elihu Benjamin Washburne, a prominent Galena lawyer who served in Congress during the Civil War, and as Secretary of State and Minister to France under President Ulysses S. Grant, another famous Galenian. Constructed in 1844–45, the Washburne House is an example of late Greek Revival architecture. The house was built in the style of Greek temples and features a 2-story porch with four fluted Doric columns.

 

The Washburne House is a declared Illinois State Historic Site, and was also listed in 1973 on the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally, the Washburne House is a contributing structure in the Galena Historic District which encompasses 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.

 

Galena is the seat of Jo Daviess County in the northwest corner of Illinois. This is the unglaciated area of northwestern Illinois. The rolling hills, history and abundant 19th century architecture draws visitors from throughout the country. The estimated population of Galena in 2019 was 3,158.

Designed for the prominent Catholic landowner Sir Thomas Tresham in the late 16th century, Lyveden New Bield is set in the middle of the Northamptonshire countryside near Oundle. The Grade I-listed building is in the shape of a cross and has a large number of Catholic symbols on the exterior. Tresham was a recusant Catholic politician, and had to pay substantial fines for refusing to participate in Anglican church services. He flaunted his Catholicism in his buildings but eventually ran out of money. The unfinished building and the adjacent Elizabethan Water Gardens belong to the National Trust.

 

Tresham himself died in September 1605, but his elder son, Francis, became embroiled in the Gunpowder Plot that year along with his cousins Robert Catesby and Thomas Wintour. Imprisoned in the Tower of London for his actions, Francis met an early death from natural causes in December 1605, avoiding certain execution. One American historian I met believed that Sir Thomas Tresham had probably helped to finance the Gunpowder Plot. However, I have not seen any other references to this.

 

I had always thought that Lyveden New Bield was completely unfinished and never had a roof or floors, but my subsequent research has shown that the timbers were actually taken by William Boteler for use in his own new house in Oundle in around 1655. He was Cromwell's Major-General for Northamptonshire and the surrounding counties, and I suppose he thought he could do what he wanted. That beautiful large house in Oundle now belongs to Oundle School.

   

Last August I found a caterpillar of the Pebble Prominent moth. The larva pupated in October and, today, the adult moth emerged. This species of macro moth is a common resident throughout most of Great Britain and Ireland.

Kestrel - Falco tinnunculus (Juv)

 

Double click

 

The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In Britain, where no other kestrel species occurs, it is generally just called "the kestrel".

 

This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America.

 

Kestrels can hover in still air, even indoors in barns. Because they face towards any slight wind when hovering, the common kestrel is called a "windhover" in some areas.

 

Unusual for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as is usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male. This allows a pair to fill different feeding niches over their home range. Kestrels are bold and have adapted well to human encroachment, nesting in buildings and hunting by major roads. Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other species.

 

Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most raptors, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having fewer black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females, and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All common kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.

 

The cere, feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler. Hatchlings are covered in white down feathers, changing to a buff-grey second down coat before they grow their first true plumage.

 

Data from Britain shows nesting pairs bringing up about 2–3 chicks on average, though this includes a considerable rate of total brood failures; actually, few pairs that do manage to fledge offspring raise less than 3 or 4. Compared to their siblings, first-hatched chicks have greater survival and recruitment probability, thought to be due to the first-hatched chicks obtaining a higher body condition when in the nest. Population cycles of prey, particularly voles, have a considerable influence on breeding success. Most common kestrels die before they reach 2 years of age; mortality up until the first birthday may be as high as 70%. At least females generally breed at one year of age; possibly, some males take a year longer to maturity as they do in related species. The biological lifespan to death from senescence can be 16 years or more, however; one was recorded to have lived almost 24 years.

The robin features prominently in British folklore and that of northwestern France, but much less so in other parts of Europe. It was held to be a storm-cloud bird and sacred to Thor, the god of thunder, in Norse mythology. But this one was quietly waiting for me in the Jardins de Bagatelle.

According to local legend, Helfštýn is named after the robber Helfried of Linva, who founded it. The castle was probably built in the last quarter of the 13th century. Around 1320 Vok of Kravař, a member of a prominent Moravian noble family, became the owner of the castle. Helfštýn remained in the possession of the Kravař family for more than a hundred years and underwent far-reaching structural changes during this period. Construction work began on a larger scale in the first half of the 14th century, but the main reconstruction of the castle into a Gothic fortress did not take place until the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. The Kravařs mainly improved the fortifications of Helfštýn. They replaced the makeshift fortification of the old parkland with a thick stone wall with four bastions, built a prismatic tower over the entrance to the castle itself and secured it with a drawbridge, built a fortified forecourt on the south side and cut the ridge of the hill with a moat carved into the rock.

 

The era of the Pernštejn family

In 1474, William of Pernštejn took over the castle estate and proceeded to its further reconstruction. In the last quarter of the 15th century,

 

Helfštýn Castle was enlarged with a thoroughly fortified, extensive farm forecourt (completed in 1480) and another forecourt, which formed a new outpost defending the entire enlarged building. At the same time, the fortifications of the old Kravaře castle were improved with bastions and a new system of towers and gates. The castle's ground plan was definitively given an elongated shape, and in its external form the perfect fortification system significantly overlapped all the other architectural elements.

 

Renaissance reconstruction

At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, the inner core of the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence. The old castle palace was demolished, along with part of its original Gothic fortifications, and a magnificent Renaissance palace was built on the vacant space, in sharp contrast to the extensive system of late Gothic fortifications that surrounded it.

 

The destruction of the castle

In 1656, quite extensive demolition work was carried out, which, although it did not damage the fortifications of Helfštýn too much, definitively deprived it of the character of a manor house. And thus began the long-term destruction of the castle. The destruction was accelerated in the second half of the 18th century by the Ditrichstein family with demolition works. These attempts culminated in 1817, when part of the inner castle was destroyed by artillery fire.

 

Present day

The present-day character of the castle is that of a fortress with six gates and a series of 18th-century buildings and ramparts. Since the 19th century, the castle has been presented as a tourist and heritage site. Nowadays it has become a natural cultural centre of the region, with various cultural events taking place here throughout the season

One of the most photographed pieces of architecture in The Columbia River Gorge - Benson Bridge was crafted by Italian stone masons, allows visitors to cross the falls between it's lower and upper cataracts. In 1914, Simon Benson, a prominent businessman and owner of the falls at that time, erected the bridge. Before then, a log bridge was in its place.....

 

Wishing everyone a wonderful "Waterfall" weekend.........!

The sky was mostly covered with cloud in the late afternoon I spent at the Carr Villa Memorial Park. But then as the sun broke through a rainbow appeared (actually two as you can see a lighter one above the prominent one). Frankly, I was amazed and took a few seconds more than usual to think about how best to photograph what I believed I was seeing (or was it really just a figment of a wild imagination). But no, these rainbows really did appear (although there was no rain), and here's the proof.

Mount Robson is the most prominent mountain in North America's Rocky Mountain range; it is also the highest point in the Canadian Rockies - 3954m. The mountain is located entirely within Mount Robson Provincial Park of British Columbia, and is part of the Rainbow Range. Mount Robson is the second highest peak entirely in British Columbia, behind Mount Waddington in the Coast Range. The south face of Mount Robson is clearly visible from the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16), and is commonly photographed along this route. This view can be reached by following a marked hiking trail - Berg Lake Trail. On a beautiful day you can take a helicopter ride to Robson pass and hike down all Berg Lake Trail, approx. 22 km.

Mount Robson is the most prominent mountain in North America's Rocky Mountain range... Elevation, 3,954 m (12,972 ft) ... doesn't matter what peak I am on I can see it's recognizable shapely top that never fails to give me pause.

This ewe was sitting on top of a prominent part of the hill as I made my way down Beinn Tulaichean. It had been raining for a spell just before I took this, hence the dark moody scene.

The Maple Prominent is a moth of the Notodontidae family. It is found throughout Britain and mainland Europe. The wingspan is 35–40 mm. The moths are on wing from May to July depending on the location. The larvae feed on Acer campestris and sometimes Acer pseudoplatanus.

 

This moth was found at only five locations in Gloucestershire in 2014 - all on the Cotswold Hills. This 20mm final instar caterpillar was bred from an egg laid by an adult Maple Prominent moth at Thrupp, Gloucestershire, in July 2015.

 

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view and comment on my photographs – it is greatly appreciated and encouraging!

This beautiful steeple was built of fine bricks, slate roofing on top of Kalker Chapel. Four (golden) clocks are installed, one on each side of the steeple’s base.

 

The Kalker Chapel was rebuilt between 1948 and 1950 after it was destroyed in the Second World War . It has its origins in the early modern period around 1666/67. The chapel is located in the Kalk district at the junction of the Kalker Hauptstrasse and Kapellenstrasse, which branches off to the southeast in the direction of the Vingst district.

 

I have a colored version of this shot, which I will share later.

Prominent Physcian in Herkimer, Left to the city.

Herkimer County Historical Society is located in the 1884 Suiter Building, a historic home in Herkimer, Herkimer County, New York. It is a 2 1⁄2-story, wood frame structure with red pressed brick walls laid in black mortar built in 1884. It features a complex pitched roof of slate with a brick corbelled cornice and terra cotta ornament along the roof edge. There is also an octagonal peaked roof above the corner tower. Built originally as a private home, it was unfinished at the time of its builders death in 1925 and given to the Herkimer County Historical Society who occupied it in 1935.[2]

 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972
