Revival [61/365] - Sometimes we come to a point in our lives where we reassess and figure out whats important in our lives and what isn't. It's like a snake shedding it's old skin to reveal a new healthier looking skin. It's all in the process of growing.
We are always growing and changing. The moment we stop... well I don't think we can call it living anymore. Change can sometimes be difficult but it has to happen in order for us to move forward and grow...
MotorSport-Revival 2
Der gegangene Weg ist immer auch Teil dessen, was man heute ist. Und so möchte ich an dieser Stelle exemplarisch zwei Bilder einer früheren Schaffensperiode zeigen.
Direkt vor unserer Haustür liegt eine der berühmtesten Rennstrecken der Welt. Daher war das Thema Motorsport einige Jahre lang ein zentraler Teil meiner Aktivitäten mit der Kamera. Mit meiner guten alten Sony A200 und einem treuen Sigma 500 habe ich viel Zeit an der Nordschleife verbracht. Ohne richtig funktionierenden Autofokus waren das auch echte Lehrjahre.

Am 27.08.2011 fand im Rahmen der Langstreckenmeisterschaft am Nürburgring (VLN) das 6-Stunden-Rennen des ADAC Ruhr-Pokal-Rennens statt. Raeder Motorsport setzte an diesem Tag diesen Audi TT RS mit Biela, Hohenadel und Ammermüller am Steuer ein und erreichte in einem spektakulären Rennen den wohlverdienten Gesamtsieg. Die Gelegenheit zu diesem Treffer erhielt ich in einer Regenpause am Ende des Streckenabschnittes Metzgesfeld. Dort ahnte ich noch nichts vom Drama des Finales...
MotorSport Revival 2
The path you have taken is always part of who you are today. And so I would like to take this opportunity to show two pictures from an earlier creative period.
One of the most famous race tracks in the world is right on our doorstep. Therefore, the subject of motor sports was a central part of my activities with the camera for some years. With my good old Sony A200 and a trusty Sigma 500, I spent a lot of time at the Nordschleife. Without a properly working autofocus, those were also real teaching years.

On 27.08.2011, the 6-hour ADAC Ruhr-Pokal race took place as part of the Endurance Championship at the Nürburgring (VLN). Raeder Motorsport entered this Audi TT RS on this day with Biela, Hohenadel and Ammermüller at the wheel and achieved a well-deserved overall victory in a spectacular race. I got the opportunity to score in a rain break at the end of the Metzgesfeld section. There I had no idea of the drama of the final...

Le chemin parcouru fait toujours partie de ce que l'on est aujourd'hui. C'est pourquoi j'aimerais montrer ici, à titre d'exemple, deux images d'une période de création antérieure.
L'un des circuits de course les plus célèbres du monde se trouve juste devant notre porte. C'est pourquoi le thème du sport automobile a été pendant quelques années un élément central de mes activités avec mon appareil photo. Avec mon bon vieux Sony A200 et un fidèle Sigma 500, j'ai passé beaucoup de temps sur la Nordschleife. Sans autofocus fonctionnant correctement, ce furent aussi de véritables années d'apprentissage.

Le 27.08.2011, la course de 6 heures de l'ADAC Ruhr-Pokal a eu lieu dans le cadre du championnat d'endurance du Nürburgring (VLN). Ce jour-là, Raeder Motorsport a engagé cette Audi TT RS avec Biela, Hohenadel et Ammermüller au volant et a remporté une victoire générale bien méritée au terme d'une course spectaculaire. J'ai eu l'occasion de marquer ce but lors d'une pause pluvieuse à la fin du tronçon de Metzgesfeld. Là, je ne me doutais pas encore du drame de la finale...

This will be the last Louisiana pine snake (Pituophis ruthveni) image I post for a while. Here one of the released snakes can be seen in the longleaf pine savanna that will serve as its new home. These communities are really more prairie than forest, with widely scattered overstory longleaf pines and little to no woody encroachment in the understory, save the scattered longleaf pine saplings able to withstand the flames of the frequent fires that kept the shrubs at bay.
Unfortunately over the past 150 years or so, habitat loss combined with fire suppression and other means of habitat degradation have greatly reduced the the acreage of longleaf pine savanna in the West Gulf Coastal Plain and beyond. Many of the high quality examples that remain are fragmented, and few large, contiguous tracts exist.
In the past few decades there has been a push to begin restoring longleaf pine and implementing management regimes such as prescribed burn programs to re-establish former habitat and enhance existing habitat for the Louisiana pine snake and a suite of other species that depend on these communities. It is my hope that these efforts along with those like this reintroduction will help bring this iconic snake back from the brink.

The Old Lake Worth City Hall, also known as the Lake Worth City Hall Annex, is a historic site in Lake Worth, Florida. It is located at 414 Lake Avenue.
The building originally served as Lake Worth's elementary school until June 1928. North Grade and South Grade Elementary Schools opened the following fall. The building was subsequently remodeled to provide for the Commission Chamber and administrative offices. On May 18, 1989, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Lake Worth Historical Museum is located on the second floor, and features antiques, tools, clothing, photographs, and other local and historic artifacts.
With a quickly growing population in the 1910s, the city of Lake Worth recognized the need for a school. After the Palm Beach Farms Company donated land to the Palm Beach County Board of Public Instruction, a small, wood-frame schoolhouse was built in 1912, with Lucerne Avenue located to the north, Lake Avenue to the south, and Federal Highway to the east. Upon opening on October 20, 1912, 24 students were enrolled, which nearly doubled by the end of the school year.
The expanding population soon necessitated the need for a larger schoolhouse, with the school board commissioning design plans and construction in 1914, to be funded by an approved $25,000 bond. The new, two story schoolhouse included 12 classrooms, each of which contained either 36 large desks or 45 small desks. After the construction of other schools, such as Lake Worth Community High School in 1922, the city government purchased the building in August 1926 due to its need for space for administrative functions.
The building was renovated after being sold to the city government, with classrooms being converted into offices and a telephone being installed. In July 1927, the former schoolhouse was rededicated as city hall. Lake Worth was devastated by the effects of the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, including city hall. Along the northwest corner of the building, the exterior wall in its entirety collapsed, while the north tower was destroyed and the bay at the northeastern side of the building was removed. The roof suffered complete destruction. As a result, Lake Worth was without a functional center for city government. City hall operations were temporarily moved to the Lauriston Building, then located at the corner of Lake Avenue and Dixie Highway. In late 1928, architect Floyd King drew up plans for restoring city hall. Upon completion of restoration in 1929, the building featured a Mission–Spanish Revival design, a radical change from the previous architectural style.
Administrative functions for the city government resumed after the building reopened in 1929. The building continued to be used for city hall operations until April 1973, when nearly all local government departments – with the exception of the electrical and water utilities – moved to the civic center building along Dixie Highway between Lake Avenue and Lucerne Avenue. In 1980, the Lake Worth Historical Museum opened on the second floor; it features antiques, tools, clothing, photographs, and other local artifacts relating to the history of Lake Worth. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 18, 1989.
