It's Monday again and time for my flower greeting. And this time in multi-million versions.
Strictly speaking, oilseed rape is not a flower, but a agricultural crop, but it flowers, as is easy to see. So that still counts.
Since the location of the fields changes every year, I'm always curious to see where I can find some. And every year I am amazed at how this bright yellow carpet changes the look of long-known landscapes.
In keeping with this, I wish you a bright and colorful week with many nice surprises.
Es ist mal wieder Montag und damit Zeit für meinen Blumengruß. Und dieses Mal in multi- millionenfacher Ausführung.
Genau genommen ist Raps ja keine Blume, sondern eine Nutzpflanze, doch er blüht, wie unschwer zu kennen ist. Also zählt das trotzdem.
Da die Lage der Felder sich jedes Jahr verändert, bin ich jedes Jahr neugierig zu sehen, wo ich welche finde. Und jedes Jahr bin ich überrascht, wie sich der Anblick lange bekannter Landschaften durch diesen leuchtend gelben Teppich verändert.
Passend dazu wünsche ich Euch eine leuchtende und farbenfrohe Woche mit vielen schönen Überraschungen.

Due to the unusually warm February weather, the daffodils are extremely early.
But it does your eyes and soul good!
Today they stand trembling in the cold winds of the snow-storm...
May your day be sunny, thank you for visiting, Magda (*_*)

The Jakob-Kaiser-Haus is the largest complex of government offices built in connection with the transfer of the German federal government from Bonn to Berlin. It houses the staff of the governing coalition members and comprises over 2,000 office rooms, two large committee halls, many conference rooms, extensive cafeteria facilities and a fully-equipped TV studio. The complex was designed and built by a consortium of four architecture firms. The section designed by de Architekten Cie. forms roughly a quarter of the whole complex. It is situated in a prominent location between the Reichtsag and the Brandenburger Tor.
The building encloses two courtyards, one of which has been covered with a glass roof. The resulting space serves as an entrance hall for the southern part of the Jakob-Kaiser-Haus. The wooden panelling gives the entrance hall the character of an interior room; the adjacent courtyard exudes, by contrast, a sense of external space. The two courtyards remain in visual contact with each other by a two-storey tall opening at ground level, interrupting the strictly orthogonal main structure of the master plan. The street façades reflect the theme of the interior court in two different ways. The Ebertstrasse façade, providing a view of the Tiergartenpark, presents a lively clair obscur by way of the three-dimensional effect of the natural stone framework with its recessed terracotta panels. Attached to the Dorotheenstrasse façade is an additional glass “shell” which marks the entrance and places an accent in the street with its primarily stony façades. Seen from the working spaces the glass shell creates a visual wintergarden, increasing in this narrow street the users` privacy. The previously existing building, the Kammer der Technik built between 1912 and 1914, has been entirely integrated into the new structure. From a functional viewpoint, its office spaces fit in seamlessly with the new building.

Perennial blue eyed grass wildflower is a member of the Iris family, but it is not a grass at all. It is native to North America and forms clumps of slender, long foliage, topped in spring with small periwinkle flowers.

В этот день мы отправились в страну башен и легенд, небольшую, но очень живописную республику Ингушетию, и планировали снимать закат уже на перевале Цей-Лоам. Тогда мы были уверены, что время на дорогу мы выделили с приличным запасом и полностью учли предыдущий опыт довольно частых остановок, чтобы запечатлеть что-нибудь красивое.
Дорога к перевалу, как изящная лента, свивалась среди еще заснеженных гор, простираясь вдоль хребтов и бархатных лугов. Это была не просто асфальтированная трасса, а настоящий аттракцион пейзажей, устоять перед красотой которых было практически невозможно. За каждым поворотом открывались новые, впечатляющие виды: скалистые вершины, вздымающиеся до самых небес, и глубокие долины, которые убаюкивали своим одиночеством. На остановках мы видели, как дикие цветы распустились среди камней, делясь с нами своей жизнерадостностью. Слышали тихий шепот быстро текущего где-то вдали ручья и гул мириад насекомых, как только стихал могучий ветер.
Говорят, что время в такие моменты замирает. Допускаю, что так оно и есть, просто происходит не с каждым и точно не с нами в тот день. Часы неумолимо отсчитывали секунды и у нас оставалось не так много драгоценных минут до момента, когда солнце начнёт погружаться за горизонт. Свет становился мягче и самые высокие пики уже укутывались в пушистые облака, готовясь провести эту ночь с комфортом. Вскоре небо окунулось в золотистые и малиново-розовые оттенки, а случайные облака, попадающие в лучи закатного солнца, отражали невероятную палитру цветов.
Поднявшись на перевал, мы оказались в плотном облаке, одном из многих, которые эти каменные великаны с седыми головами, укладывали подле себя. Ветер, словно старый и уставший пастух, подгонял белые тучки будто зазевавшихся овечек, открывая на мгновенье сияющие вершины. Некогда бушующее пламя заката угасло, оставив после себя лишь тлеющие угли, которые продолжали искриться, словно напоминая о том, что где-то внутри них еще осталось пламя и они просто ждут, чтобы их разожгли снова.
Может быть, я не успел на закат в его строгих рамках времени, но я получил массу впечатлений, оказавшись на одном из самых красивых перевалов Кавказа, и это для меня гораздо важнее. В итоге мы обсудили планы на рассветную съемку, и отправились устраиваться на ночлег.
On this day, we set off to the land of towers and legends, a small yet very picturesque republic of Ingushetia, planning to capture the sunset already at the Tsey-Loam Pass. At that time, we were confident that we had allotted enough time for the journey, fully considering our previous experiences of frequent stops to capture something beautiful.
The road to the pass wounds like a graceful ribbon among the still snow-covered mountains, stretching along ridges and velvet meadows. It was not just an asphalted roadway, but a true attraction of landscapes, difficult to resist the beauty of which. With every turn, new, stunning views unfolded: rocky peaks soaring to the very skies and deep valleys that lulled with their solitude. At our stops, we saw wildflowers blooming among the stones, sharing their cheerfulness with us. We could hear the quiet whisper of a rapidly flowing stream somewhere in the distance and the hum of myriad insects as soon as the mighty wind calmed down.
It’s said that time stands still in such moments. I admit that it may be true, but it doesn't happen to everyone, and certainly not to us that day. The clock relentlessly counted the seconds, and we were left with not many precious minutes until the moment the sun would begin to sink below the horizon. The light was growing softer, and the highest peaks were already wrapped in fluffy clouds, preparing to spend the night in comfort. Soon, the sky was immersed in golden and rose-tinted shades, while the scattered clouds caught in the rays of the setting sun reflected an incredible palette of colors.
Having ascended to the pass, we found ourselves enveloped in a dense cloud, one of many that these stone giants with their silver heads laid beside them. The wind, like an old and weary shepherd, nudged the white clouds as if they were dozing sheep, momentarily revealing the shining peaks. The once-raging flames of the sunset had faded, leaving behind only smoldering embers that continued to sparkle, as if reminding us that somewhere within them, the fire still lingered, simply waiting to be rekindled.
Perhaps I didn’t make it to the sunset within its strict confines of time, but I gained a wealth of impressions by being at one of the most beautiful passes in the Caucasus, and that is far more important to me. In the end, we discussed plans for the dawn shoot and set off to find a place to spend the night.
Two from our garden, colour transition in flowers.
Hydrangea, the name, comes from the Greek words "hydro" or water, and "angeion," or vase = water vase, they prefer a lot of water.
A very ancient plant, found in fossils going back thousands of years.
In most species the flowers are white, but in some species (notably H. macrophylla), they are blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple.
In these species the colour is affected by the presence of aluminium ions which are available or tied up depending upon the soil’s pH content.
For H. macrophylla and H. serrata cultivars, the flower colour can be determined by the relative acidity of the soil: an acidic soil (pH below 7), will have available aluminium ions and typically produce flowers that are blue to purple, whereas an alkaline soil (pH above 7) will tie up aluminium ions and result in pink or red flowers.
I wish you all the very best and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments, likes and faves. Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)
