It's been almost two weeks since I last posted a picture of my favorite tree. I think I can come up with another one now.
For everyone who sees it for the first time (which can't be many) the tree stands on the small mount Winter in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
When this photo was made, sunrise was still at least 30-45 minutes away. So I experimented a little to find a slightly different variant of the well-known composition.
The result was a shot from a little further away, so that the structure of the rocky ground and this small heather island also get some attention.
A small positive side effect is that by using a larger focal length (53 instead of the usual 35mm), the mountains in the background are moved a little closer and therefore have more effect.
So I can get used to this variant quite well.
Inzwischen ist es so ziemlich zwei Wochen her, dass ich das letzte Bild von meinem Lieblingsbaum gepostet habe. Ich denke, da kann ich jetzt schon mal wieder eins bringen.
Für alle, die ihn das erste mal sehen (was nicht viele sein können) der Baum steht auf dem kleinen Winterberg im Elbsandsteingebirge.
Als dieses Foto entstand, war der Sonnenaufgang noch mindestens 30-45 Minten entfernt. Also hab ich ein wenig herumexperimentiert um einmal eine etwas andere Variante der allseits bekannten Komposition zu finden.
Das Ergebnis war eine Aufnahme mit etwas weiter Abstand, so dass die Struktur des felsigen Untergrundes und diese kleine Heide-Insel auch etwas Aufmerksamkeit bekommen.
Kleiner positiver Nebeneffekt ist, dass durch die Verwendung einer größeren Brennweite (53 anstatt sonst 35mm) auch die Berge im Hintergrund etwas näher gerückt sind und somit mehr Wirkung zeigen.
Also ich kann mich mit dieser Varianbte ganz gut anfreunden.

I am a compassionate person. When someone is sad, crying, telling me heartbreaking things ... My heart gets really heavy. It's not the easiest time right now. I cried with a friend today. Three of her friends fell one after the other from the mountains in a very short time, all with very serious consequences.... I'm almost ashamed that I think about a bit of back pain today or that I'll have to go back to work soon ... Others are fighting with surviving , to be locked in in their body, to lose all... Life is a bitch....

Rodin's famous statue, commonly called 'The Thinker' or 'Le Penseur' was designed as a representation of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, for inclusion in a monumental work called 'The Gates of Hell' - a huge bronze doorway for a museum that was never completed.
There are some 28 life-size 'Thinkers' on exhibition around the world, all considered to be 'originals' - and not one of them made by Auguste Rodin himself.
As well as being a genius sculptor in clay, maybe Rodin's greatest success was his ability to industrialise the process of turning his clay sculptures into much larger bronze statues - the creation of enlarged models and their casting, conducted by teams of skilful artisans.
The Rodin Museum, close to Bois de Boulogne in Paris, is well worth spending a couple of hours if you're in the area.

A picture of a mural at a local restaurant. In the mural the fish are all clear and there isn't a sense of movement. I thought this would be a good subject for ICM.

As you know by now, I love when artists use music to tell a story, weaving the music and the lyrics into a tale filled with emotion and colours. Don McLean is one of those Artists who masterfully achieve this. Vincent is an Ode to the dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890). He struggled with mental illness all through his life and died at his own hands at the age of just 37. During his life, he barely sold any of his paintings. Which makes the fact that these days they are worth millions kind of a cruel joke. Don McLean weaved numerous paintings of VanGogh into his Lyrics, which is another nice touch
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy, linen land
Now, I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
Young female Blackcap - seen through the gap on my lunch walk today. I think there were three young ones, this one stayed just long enough for a shot!
Toffee licks his lips, not in anticipation of what he might catch at the
bird table, but after his lunch.
I don't think he has ever caught a bird in his life and wisely has never shown any interest in them as he knows they can fly and he can't.
Made it to day 13 before sharing a photo of Toffee, last year it was day 11. But what's the point of having a cat unless it features in your photo a day project?
I think that this is some type of Roach. I found it hiding under a rock in Maryland.

Costumes by Machine Dazzle, in the exhibit Maximalist Queer, at the Museum of Arts and Design. He used a lot of black light/day-glo colors, but while they weren't in everything, everything was striking and vivid.
Is a butterfly on a bright yellow flower a bit cliché? Perhaps, but it brings a bit of sunshine to a Tuesday
Some probably think we were crazy on Friday, but a unanimous vote in our car took us from the CP passenger train shots at Foster Bridges, to shots of #6 with the Pepsi Can leader. I gave chase to the CP passenger train Friday to Ottumwa so the boys could see it, but man we were surprised to find out #6 was late with the 160 leading. Unfortunately the CP train was the hottest thing around, so the BNSF held trains and delayed Amtrak even further into Ottumwa. Here the California Zephyr get going again after station stop now down 3'-41". My favorite paint scheme Amtrak ever had...happy decisions made!
