This is a very old shot, to be exact from June 26th, 2010...which marks the day of the last encounter of Germany vs. Great Britain in a European football championship...Germany won 4:1.
LetĀ“s see how it will turn out tonight.
My British friend and I were discussing the upcoming match in a very friendly and relaxed manner (and were still good friends afterwards ;)
Taken at a place I once called home.
This is an installation in the Hyde Park Art Center by Miller & Shellabarger:

The projection of the arches is fascinating, and makes the vision follow the depth as far as the eye can see.

For Crazy Tuesday - repeating piano keys. Photographed using Adaptalux lighting pods and one white arm to illuminate.
This image was taken on my back porch at one of my desks. One vase after another, book on top of book, and pencil next to pencil.

Actually, I'd wanted to upload something sunshiny and summery for Sliders Sunday, but then I remembered that 2023 marks the 70th anniversary of 17 June 1953, the Day of the East German Uprising. The uprising started on June 16 in East Berlin. Construction workers had decided to strike against unbearable work quotas. The momentum of this strike spread across the GDR and accumulated in a massive uprising in numerous East German cities and villages against the East German Government and the SED (the Socialist Unity Party). Workers were joined by students, people demanded free elections and the release of all political prisoners. Just like in Prague 15 years later, the East German Uprising could only be brutally stopped by Soviet forces who sent tanks to the streets of East Berlin. More than 50 people were killed during the uprising, several more were sentenced to death later. In West Germany and West Berlin, 17 June was celebrated as a public holiday until 1990 when it was replaced by the Tag der Deutschen Einheit (German Unity Day) which we celebrate each year on 3 October.
This photo doesn't have a direct connection to 17 June, it is related to the German division in general and specifically to the Berlin Wall since the White Crosses memorial remembers the people who were killed in their attempt of fleeing the GDR. The last victim of the Berlin Wall and the German division, Chris Gueffroy, was shot on 5 February 1989, only nine months before the Berlin Wall fell. He was only 20 years old.
In this particular spot in Berlin's government district, the border between West and East Berlin ran right through the river Spree. In fact, the opposite side of the Spree where you can now see the Marie-Elisabeth-LĆ¼ders-Haus, one of many government buildings in the Mitte district, belonged to East Berlin, while this side of the Spree, the Reichstag building included, belonged partly to West Berlin. The white, highlighted strip in the lower right corner (next to the steps) marks the course of the Berlin Wall.

I am repeating myself in as much as I am posting yet another black and white flower image. But it's different from yesterday's and it's one of my favourite groups b&w day. I photographed this vase a good week ago and then, as the background was boring, tried working with textures . As I was still not satisfied I clicked on my usual presets and wow suddenly most of them looked fab. I saved lots of versions but whittled it down to two, this b&w here and another colour version which I might post another day.
A view of Lake Te Anau as we left the glow worm caves in a fast ferry boat. No photos allowed inside the caves but it was like looking up at a starry sky just a short distance from our faces in pitch black darkness. Our guide was silently pulling our small boat through the darkness somehow avoiding the walls of the cave and the other boat we knew went out into the cave lake before us.
Thanks for visiting and I look forward to comments!
PS. Easy to take photos like this travel.usnews.com/rankings/worlds-best-vacations/?src=usn_fb
