Puddle reflection of the Westerkerk, the church next to the Anne Frank house in Amsterd@m...this shot of the new, clean, Christian Amsterd@m has all the fun elements in it that our city council thinks are enough for us to remain happy campers and for you to still come and visit..a Church, a Bike and Flowers...like it?! ;-P
Bizarre weather two days ago it was way well below zero w/ the wind chill, today it's 45 degrees again and raining, the frozen snow clings to the frozen earth with large puddle through out the yard. The interplay of surface (reflection/image) and the beneath the surface grabbed my attention especially that fore ground "red-brown" oak leaves beneath the surface..

Available in my shop. See my profile for details!
I could join the Marvel Avengers. My superpower is to make it rain by leaving my raincoat at home. This works everytime and practically everywhere. Even in the desert of Nevada. | #avivgoesvegas #jovegas2019 #rain #puddlegram #instarain #puddle #puddlereflection #reinvent2019 #awsreinvent #aws #reinvent #reflection #spiegelung #welovevegas #igerslasvegas

What I favor of this image is the ice below the surface appears to be clouds in the image (especially in thumbnail)

Panorama puddle reflection of typical Amsterdam houses on the Singel canal in the best city in the world...of course :)
This also looks mighty fine in BIG on a black background!
Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.
The Shipping Museum in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle.
I got bored with the biker-puddle-shots, so here's something else :)
One of Amsterdam's mightiest&prettiest buildings (not really!), located to the right of Central Station, it houses the 'Netherlands Maritime Museum', or as I prefer to call it, the Shipping museum...
I've never been inside, so I can't tell you if it's worth visiting the museum (once the renovation is done, that is!), but feel free to send me a mail with your own impressions if you'll ever make there, thank you ;-))
I'm pretty sure though that you'll learn one thing or the other about the good old VOC when you're there, a glorious part of Dutch history, check it out, it's good for you (and might help you with your personal 'World Domination' plans, I am learning from the best here, hehe)!
