From an early age I wanted to travel. Fortunately, my life has been filled with trips both near and far away. There have been times in my longer journeys that I longed for home and often a scene would hit the nostalgia button and visions of the familiar would flood my heart and mind. Country roads in the fall now take me back to a place that is no more.
This bloom reminds me of a large daisy, but it's a fall-blooming chrysanthemum.
Thank you for viewing this image and for leaving me a comment!
This shot reminded me of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". The only thing missing is the towel in his hand.... hahahaha
I have a previous picture of this very popular place but this time I decided to make it Sliders Sunday material... haha
Hope you like it! ;)
HSS everybody!!!
And a great week to you all!
Cheers
Thanks for all the comments and faves, Flickr Friends!
It's funny when you see a photo posted by a fellow photographer of a place they recently visited and it immediately reminds you of a time when you visited it with your camera.
In this case the photographer is Phil Norton and I shall post his image below in the comment boxes. He's a Nisi Ambassador so if anyone requires any information on filters, he's a great guy to ask.
The place is the little fishing tarn of Llyn Y Dywarchen in Snowdonia. The date was Saturday 5th August 2011, the time 10pm. I visited this wonderful little place and decided that the rowing boats needed some illumination, so out came the head torch and fifteen seconds later, voilà
I hope you all like it. Have a great day guys and girls.

Reminding my unforgettable trip to Italy and Capri this May.

UNESCO Weltkulturerbe
Erinnerung an meine unvergeßliche Reise nach Italien und Capri
im Mai.
Remember her "Veil"? This ceiling is in the lobby of a beautifully renovated office building north of Macy's. These buildings were all clothing manufacturing or show rooms--I spotted a few showrooms on the floor where I was. The building is going through quite a transition.
"Remind me to breathe at the end of the world
Appreciate scenes and the love I've received
There's always a girl at the end of the world
The departing
The departing..."

Reminded me of when I used to ski. The mountain often didn't look so high or so steep or so far!
We chose to walk the dirt path just off to the right which takes you through some woods, crosses a little brook and eventually leads you to the Temple of Love and the Rock Garden!
Reminded me of a propeller on a ship going through the water at high speed. Created with different shapes of light. No photo shop, and is one single image taken over the span of 195 seconds using some light painting brushes instead of regular paint.

The Gate Church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Astrakhan. Kremlin.
Надвратный храм во имя святого Николая Чудотворца. Астрахань. Кремль.
This reminds me of something from a scary movie where we see one image of the real thing and behind it we see a shadow with a different shape. But that's neither in this case. This branch is part of a tree that is under a bridge. I caught it at a point where part of the branch is in the light and the rest is in the shadow of the bridge. The background is the concrete bridge support. I got lucky on this one. It's one of my personal favorites and it was east to process. I spent more time typing this paragraph than I did developing this image. :) (The Dalles Area IMG_1977.jpg)
The works remind me Fernando Botero Angulo's sculptures.

Chorrera
(900 – 300 a.C.)
Chorrera is the most widespread culture in Ecuador. It represents the antecedent of later culture that flourished during the Period of Regional Development.
It was a markedly hierarchical society with specific specialization’s as evidenced by the extraordinary technical and artistical quality of Chorrera pottery. Fruits, animals and human beings were represented with numberless details, which makes this ceramic tradition unique in the native archaeology of Ecuador.
The most interesting piece is the whistle-bottle that reproduces the sounds of different animals when water is poured into it and the air contained in the bottle moves through a resonant box. Not less extraordinary is the decorative technique of iridescence whose quality has not been surpassed by any other native culture in Ecuador.
Reminded me of the Woody Guthrie song Little seed.

Not that I see anyone intentionally planting dandelion seeds but thankfully they survive.
Reminding us that art, like true friends, envelops us with its positive spirit ! .... "Looking close... on Friday!"
Thank you for clicking for a larger view. This group of turtles (Florida Red Bellied Turtle) reminded me of a police line-up of suspects. They were sunning themselves along one of the trails at Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland, Florida . . . and, by the way, it was the third guy from the right.
Taken @"Bethesda Terrace and Fountain" in Central Park, NYC
** Caught this young couple at the right hand side, who had a wedding photoshoot then. At the time I didn't know that they were captured in this. Afterwards, it did remind me of a Flickr friend (Dmitry) who captured a wedding photoshoot at the central park before as well. :-)))
Reminds me of the days when the malls and downtown areas were overcrowded with last minute shoppers (I am headed out this morning).
Reminded me of this song from the TV show, "Then Came Bronson" in the 70's.
Going down that long lonesome highway
Bound for the mountains and the plains
Sure ain't nothing here gonna tie me
And I got some friends I'd like to see
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
Yes I'm going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
Die Düneberger Pulverfabrik war eine bedeutende Industrieanlage in Geesthacht, nahe Hamburg. Die Fabrik wurde Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gegründet und spezialisierte sich auf die Herstellung von Sprengstoffen und Schießpulver, hauptsächlich für militärische Zwecke. Während des Ersten und Zweiten Weltkriegs war sie ein wichtiger Munitionslieferant für das deutsche Militär und leistete damit einen Beitrag zur Kriegsführung.
Im Jahr 1945, gegen Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, wurde die Fabrik von den alliierten Streitkräften schwer bombardiert, was zu ihrer Zerstörung führte. Nach dem Krieg wurden die Ruinen und die Umgebung schrittweise umgenutzt. Heute sind Teile des Geländes in Wohngebiete und Gewerbeparks umgewandelt worden, jedoch sind noch immer Überreste der Fabrik und ihrer Geschichte vorhanden.
Die Geschichte der Düneberger Pulverfabrik ist eine Erinnerung an die industrielle Vergangenheit Geesthachts und an die Auswirkungen des Krieges auf die lokale Gemeinschaft.
------------------------------------------
The Düneberger Pulverfabrik (Düneberg Gunpowder Factory) was a significant industrial facility located in Geesthacht, near Hamburg, Germany. Established in the late 19th century, the factory specialized in the production of explosives and gunpowder, primarily for military purposes. During World War I and World War II, it was an important supplier of munitions for the German military, contributing to the war efforts.
In 1945, towards the end of World War II, the factory was heavily bombed by Allied forces, leading to its destruction. After the war, the ruins and the surrounding area were gradually repurposed. Today, parts of the site have been converted into residential areas and business parks, but remnants of the factory and its history are still present.
The history of the Düneberger Pulverfabrik is a reminder of Geesthacht’s industrial past and the impact of war on local communities. (Quelle/source: Internet)
