Every evening gather several thousand visitors in Oia, to enjoy the famous Santorini sunset. However, the best atmosphere comes when most visitors have left the place and the blue hour begins.
Jeden Abend versammeln sich einige tausend Besucher in Oia, um den berühmtesten Sonnenuntergang auf Santorini zu geniessen. Die beste Stimmung kommt allerdings erst, wenn die meisten Besucher den Ort verlassen haben und die blaue Stunde beginnt.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Peregrine Falcon - Falco Peregrinus
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the peregrine, and historically as the duck hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. As is typical of bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males. The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. According to a National Geographic TV programme, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).
The peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests; the only major ice-free landmass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread raptor, and one of the most widely found bird species. In fact, the only land-based bird species found over a larger geographic area is not always naturally occurring, but one widely introduced by humans, the rock pigeon, which in turn now supports many peregrine populations as a prey species. The peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks. Both the English and scientific names of this species mean "wandering falcon," referring to the migratory habits of many northern populations. Experts recognize 17 to 19 subspecies, which vary in appearance and range; disagreement exists over whether the distinctive Barbary falcon is represented by two subspecies of Falco peregrinus, or is a separate species, F. pelegrinoides. The two species' divergence is relatively recent, during the time of the last ice age, therefore the genetic differential between them (and also the difference in their appearance) is relatively tiny. They are only about 0.6–0.8% genetically differentiated.
While its diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized birds, the peregrine will occasionally hunt small mammals, small reptiles, or even insects. Reaching sexual maturity at one year, it mates for life and nests in a scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human-made structures. The peregrine falcon became an endangered species in many areas because of the widespread use of certain pesticides, especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT from the early 1970s, populations have recovered, supported by large-scale protection of nesting places and releases to the wild.
The peregrine falcon is a well respected falconry bird due to its strong hunting ability, high trainability, versatility, and – in recent years – availability via captive breeding. It is effective on most game bird species, from small to large.

Usually, Roses are red
But this Rose is blue
And this unique one
Is only glowing for You
Although ...
This BLUE-tifulness
Is not genuine, I guess

*Süntelbuche im Herbst*
Last Wednesday I drove to the northern Eifel to catch a few autumn moods. Fortunately, the over 200 year old dwarf beech tree on a Celtic burial mound near Blankenheim still had a few autumn-colored leaves ... and occasionally the sun came out.
Letzte Mittwoch fuhr ich in die Nordeifel, um ein paar herbstliche Stimmungen einzufangen. Die über 200 Jahre alte Süntelbuche auf einem keltischen Grabhügel bei Blankenheim hatte zum Glück noch ein paar herbstlich gefärbte Blätter...und gelegentlich zeigte sich auch die Sonne.

At the end of a night on the Devils Garden Campground in Arches NP, the thunder of a thunderstorm approaching from Canyonlands woke us up. From a safe distance, we were able to observe and photograph the scenery during the golden hour before sunrise.
Am Ende einer Nacht auf dem Devils Garden Campground im Arches NP weckte uns der Donner eines von Canyonlands heranziehenden Gewitters. Aus sicherer Entfernung konnten wir die Szenerie während der goldenen Stunde ca. 1/2 Stunde vor Sonnenaufgang beobachten und fotografieren.

When are we going to learn to live together in peace and understanding? Violence is NO solution. We need to share our space in this world together and make room for all of us to share with respect, friendship and love! There is NO ROOM for hate in this world, it just kills us all and creates never-ending pain and devastation. STOP the hate, START the love!!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

Santuario Ramses II
Al fondo del templo de Ramses II, en Abu Simbel, se encuentra el Santuario (Naos), donde destacan cuatro estatuas talladas en la roca. Se trata de Ptah, Amón-Ra, Ramsés II divinizado y Ra-Horajti, todos en posición sedente. La precisión con la que fue edificado el templo hace que dos días al año (20 de febrero y 20 de octubre, nacimiento y coronación de Ramsés II respectivamente) los rayos solares entren hasta este lugar e iluminen las caras de Amón, Ra y Ramsés. El rostro de Ptah permanece en la penumbra, ya que se trata del dios de la oscuridad.
Debido al desplazamiento que sufrió el templo para salvarlo de las aguas del Lago Nasser, en la actualidad este fenómeno se produce con dos días de retraso.
Before the sun shone directly on the water in the morning and outshone it, I "played" a bit with exposure times and details.
The water has such a high falling speed that 1/8 to 1/10 exposure time is sufficient to make it soft and yet with a certain movement.

Design and build the most beautiful bridge in the world, win awards and accolades, even get a statue erected in your honor. And what happens? I tell ya, I don't get no respect.

I guess that is what I like about the sea
It reminds me of feelings
Roaring like this
The noise can be incredible
Crashing waves
This time there was no wind
Just the underlying rest of the storm
Still in the sea
That is us, isn't it
We keep stuff inside
Stuff that needed to be said out loud
Injustice
Being treated with no respect
Mean words from others
Even mean actions from others
All the scars we get
Maybe we act mean towards others because we don't deal with the people that actually was mean to us in the first place
All what we endure
And we just keep them inside us
Doesn't do us any good at all
So important to react
Out of respect for yourself
You grow you know, when you are standing up for yourself
Because that is your job
Luckily there is calm sea too
We all love the reflections and serenity that goes with the calmness
I guess that is what most of us want for ourselves too
Maybe that's why we love water
Water feeds us, nourish us
We can see all sides of our personality in the water and we respect that
We actually love it
Just as we should love ourselves
Just as we should do the honor of respecting ourselves
That's my recipe for nourishing myself
Maybe it will be the recipe for others too
When we do love and respect ourselves, then others will too
It all comes from you
We need to be environmentally savvy and respect and care for our environment, by doing so we will leave a better world for our children and grandchildren. If we ignore being environmentally friendly we will be left with even more environmental havoc and land will be taken away from us forever.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
A white stork nest in the wildlife park Eekholt. These storks are no more able to fly away because of injuries in the past. They found their home in the wildlife park after being rescued and are visited every summer by their old partners who never forgot them and return every spring. They build their nests on the ground now and raise their chicks. It is always again so touching to watch them.

Es la iglesia parroquial de Viso del Marqués, de estilo transición gótico-renacentista, fue levantada en el siglo XV. Edificio de una nave, descentrada respecto al presbiterio, por estar construida sobre los restos de otra más antigua. En sus paredes cuelga "El lagarto de Viso", un cocodrilo disecado de unos 5 metros de longitud procedente del río Nilo, que fue traído a la localidad por el marqués de Santa Cruz, Álvaro de Bazán, en una de sus expediciones. Albergaba una tabla de la escuela flamenca que representa el Calvario, que actualmente se encuentra en un nicho de la iglesia parroquial después de haber sido restaurada.
In order for others to respect you boundaries must be set! Many times this will be an unpopular decision, but it is necessary for you to be crowned!

Thai people have always been known to have great respect for old values such as the proper ways a woman should act. The prim and proper ways of a true lady who stays at home spending all her time taking care of children, cook wonderful meals and can make the most marvelous flower creations. These values make Thai women, especially in the area where education is less important than everyday survival, underestimate themselves. We are stronger and we have more impact on society, more than we thought we had. Our opinions matter too and we definitely know more than just the best deals at the supermarket.
It's true that we can't change society and its values overnight but what we can do is to start within ourselves, build confidence within us through knowledge and be the best version of ourselves that we know we could be.
