Since the sun doesn't peek over the southern horizon until 10:00 am - Doc must work in the dark if he starts clearing snow any earlier. HSS!
Posted for; Slider's Sunday - Processed to the MAX"
I think we've all had this experience during a holiday abroad. We are hundreds, maybe even thousands of miles away from home, and all of a sudden you notice a car with your hometown's license plate or hear someone speak in your hometown's or region's dialect or slang. Maybe you will engage in a small chat with those people you have never met at home because they live in a different part of town, but here, at your holiday destination, they are like neighbours, and a remark like "It's a small world!" won't be surprising. One of those holidays was one from my childhood, we were camping in France, first in Brittany, but the weather was horrid, so we moved on to the Atlantic coast, somewhere near Bordeaux, where we stayed at a beautiful, very well-kept, very clean pine forest campsite nearby a huge, sunny, pleasantly empty beach. And boy, there were so many cars with a capital "B" for Berlin (and "B" for West Berlin only at that time) on the license plates at that campsite :)
Quite obviously one reason I remembered that anecdote in connection with this photo is the tiny-looking Earth globe balloon that you can see on the right behind the Tempodrom's roof. The "World balloon", as it's officially called, is a 150 m/ 492 ft. high viewing platform on a tethered balloon located at Checkpoint Charlie. Have I been up there myself already? To be honest: no. It sure is tempting, especially because on a clear day the view from the platform reaches as far as the outskirts of Berlin, but I'm a little bit afraid of heights, I don't like flying, and the thought of being up there in a flying object only secured by a steel cable, even if it's only for 15 minutes, is quite intimidating. But maybe I'll do it one day :) The imprint on the balloon says "DIE WELT" (The World) which is the name of one of the biggest German national newspapers and the balloon's sponsor.
For more info on the Tempodrom's history, an event location originally founded in a circus tent in West Berlin in 1980, please check the description for the photo in the first comment. There, I'd also remarked that the Tempodrom, depending on the point of view, sometimes looks like a starship, a circus tent (intended), or a crown. This zoomed-in view reminds me of a crown or even a mountaintop. You'll get this particular view, with the World balloon rising next to the "crown", when you approach the Tempodrom from its backside, through a small park located between the German Museum of Technology and the site of Anhalter Bahnhof.
Regarding the image's processing, I can only tell you as much as that I did quite a bit of "sliding", this and that, but with long breaks in between, so I can't remember the single steps except for the last finishing touches which where: 1) "Reflector Efex (Silver)" filter in Color Efex to brighten the foreground, and 2): adjustments with the primary colour sliders in LR.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!
“On a bare branch a crow is perched - autumn evening”
― Bashō
Once upon a time we didn't see crows in Portland. That's all changed in our neighborhood , they are now around en masse , coming to visit our garden often, much to my delight they have begun to perch on our trees. I know they have a bad reputation, but they also provide entertainment and display much intelligence, so bring them on - CAW!
happy sliderssunday!

I may have just gone over the top with this rather fabulous Chevy. I think its 1956 .. Last Sunday for the photo.

And a light at the end of the tunnel that we are all trying to reach so desperately and as soon as possible? But before we can finally step out into the sunshine, we have to make it through a seemingly infinite and not exactly inviting looking corridor. Which brings me straight to the strange appeal of peeling paint – colorful, g(l)or(e)ious peeling paint in abundance, in all shapes and flakes imaginable. OK, I'll admit that this is probably a "peeling paint overkill", and to make it look more appealing I pushed and pulled the sliders hard ;) Pre-processed in DXO PhotoLab , HDR-fied in HDR Efex (which brought out the colours so nicely), glow-ified in ON1 Photo-Raw – and some other slidings I don't remember ;) As usual, I have a basic idea of how I want an image to look like, a certain mood I want to bring across, and then I use all sorts of filters and stuff to get there, but I hardly ever write down each step, as it's way more fun to go with the creative flow, isn't it? By the way, you can take a closer look at that chair by the door in the image in the first comment – and there you can also fully admire its super stylish decorative fabric :)
Happy (Sliders) Sunday, Everyone!
Das Licht am Ende des Tunnels? Schön wär's. Entsprechend der momentanen Corona-Lage müssen wir uns aber auf dem Weg zum Licht erst noch durch einen ziemlich langen Tunnel kämpfen, der gefühlt vermutlich so einladend lauschig aussieht wie dieser Korridor in einer alten Heilstätte. Manchmal frage ich mich schon, was genau den besonderen Reiz verfallener Orte ausmacht – insbesondere dann, wenn die (an einem solchen Ort erwartbar) mit abblätternder Farbe verzierten Wände auch noch mit so ausgesprochen viel und so besonders stark abblätternder Farbe geschmückt sind. Das Wort "dekorativ" möchte ich an dieser Stelle nicht verwenden, eindrucksvoll war es aber allemal. Und damit der Anblick nicht gar so sehr an das Geräusch erinnert, das Kreide auf einer Tafel erzeugen kann (was übrigens durch sog. "Ruckgleiten" entsteht und sich Haft-Gleit-Effekt nennt; nachzulesen bei Geo Wissen: www.geo.de/wissen/17915-rtkl-unangenehme-geraeusche-warum...), habe ich wieder ausgiebig an den Reglern diverser Programme gedreht: unter anderem HDR Efex, das die Farben der diversen An- und Überstriche und auch der interessant gestalteten Bodenfliesen schön hervorhebt, und ON1 Photo RAW, wo ich mit Glow- und Verwischen-Filtern versucht habe, dem garstigen Anblick ein wenig mehr Weichheit zu verleihen. Den Sessel, der ganz hinten bei der Tür steht, könnt Ihr übrigens auf dem Bild im ersten Kommentar in voller Schönheit bewundern :)
Ich wünsche Euch einen schönen (Rest-)Sonntag und eine angenehme, vorfrühlingshafte Woche – und passt weiter gut auf Euch auf!
Make a Wish :)

Old photo, fresh slider: One of those cloudscapes/sunsets where one goes "Wow!", grabs the camera, and runs out onto the balcony to take a photo. Well, at least I do ;) We had a few of those sunsets this summer and early autumn, but since the house is still scaffolded and the (freshly galvanized) balcony parapets aren't properly re-installed, yet, the balcony is off-limits – so I had to dig into my archives to satisfy this certain "Sunday sunset slider mood".
Photographed with the little Lumix LX100 that is capable of taking quite nice light- and sunstars – and that is also a little prone to flares, but I rather liked this rainbow flare, so I decided to keep it in the image. Just like the airplane with its vapour trail which looks a little like a shooting star – wishful thinking, I know ;). And since it's (Sliders) Sunday, I also tweaked the sky's colours in Color Efex Pro – the original colours were mostly blue with some gold tones and hints of purple in the clouds, but the sunstar was already brightly orange in the Raw file. It's just a fun shot that I thought should finally see the light of day. I hope you like it.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!
Altes Foto, neuer Slider. Normalerweise schnappe ich mir die Kamera und renne auf den Balkon, wenn ich einen besonders schönen Sonnenuntergang (oder besonders interessante Wolken) sehe. Da unser Haus aber immer noch eingerüstet ist und die frisch verzinkten Balkongitter noch nicht wieder fest und sicher montiert sind, ist der Balkon weiterhin tabu – also musste ein Archivfoto für den Sliders Sunday her. Eins, das ich mit der kleinen Lumix LX100 gemacht habe, die in der Lage ist, recht schöne Licht- und Sonnensterne zu fabrizieren. Flare-anfällig ist sie dabei auch ein wenig, aber wenn dabei so ein hübscher kleiner Regenbogenfleck herauskommt, bleibt er im Bild, genau wie das Flugzeug mit seinem Kondensstreifen, das ein wenig wie eine Sternschnuppe aussieht – Wunschdenken, ich weiß. Aber Ihr könnt Euch ja trotzdem was wünschen :)
Für Sliders Sunday habe ich in Color Efex ein wenig an den Farbreglern gedreht. Die Originalfarben des Himmels waren überwiegend noch blau mit ein paar goldenen Highlights und einem Hauch von Lila. Aber der Sonnenstern war schon im Original leuchtend orange. Ein reines Spaßfoto, das mal an der Reihe war. Ich hoffe, es gefällt Euch.
Habt einen guten Start un die neue Woche und passt gut auf Euch auf!
This is one I've done before but this one is in color and I've added textures (soooo much fun with textures :))

At Night in the Rain
Green Leaves awake again
Rain Drops keep falling on their Heads
And even kiss the Flower Beds
Droplets are dancing on their green
Reflecting in the Starlight Sheen

The street where I grew up in the early 1940's. .Some of the buildings were medieval the rest pre Victorian, the street was cobbled. No bathrooms or indoor toilets, heating by a single coal fireplace.
This is the opposite side of the street from our house which would already have been demolished when this was taken in the early 1950's, see first comment below to see the other side.
Happy memories as kids, we had no idea how primitive the housing was because we all lived the same way!
