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.
Let´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.

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

* I'm grateful for visit, favs and comments of my photo.
I kind of liked the stark minimalism of this setting with the solitary hut repeating the pointy shape of the hill and nothing else being around. This too is Icelandic refuge to me :)
The title adopted from "Life is just a bowl of cherries"
This song in Broadway Show, "Fosse" which I saw

Lyrics
Life is just a bowl of cherries
Don't take it serious
Life's too mysterious
You work, you save, you worry so
But you can't take your dough
When you go, go, go
Keep repeating, it's the berries
The strongest oak must fall
The best things in life to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you never owned
Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live and laugh at it all
Keep repeating, it's the berries
You know the strongest oak has got to fall
The sweet things in life to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you never owned
Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live it, love it, wriggle your ears
And think nothing of it, you can't do without it
There's no two ways about it
You live and you laugh at it all
"Lychee is a monotypic taxon and the sole member in the genus Litchi in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae. It is a tropical tree native to the Guangdong, Fujian, and Yunnan provinces of Southeast and Southwest China, where cultivation is documented from the 11th century."
So, if you haven't tried this fruit yet, do so, you won't be disappointed it. :-))
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-Lüders-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!

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Repeating Patterns. One is a little more fluid than the other. HMMM!
I've never seen a flower that seemed to have attitude...so you can imagine my surprise and delight at finding tiny faces looking back at me. Here's to returning to Hawaii some day and repeating the same encounter.
Due to the fact that the wind comes almost from West, the waves become the same direction, from W to E, and wash the sand away
To stop/make less this washout effect, to break the stronght of the waves - that's the reason of this pillars. In the northern part of Zeeland there are beaches , many km long, and there are this pillars, always two lines together, repeating so about 500m. Depending from tide/low tide you can see 2,0m or nothing from them.
