Maldivian Board repairs. This will be exhibited as part of Instant Art Paris in November.
Gleich rechts im Hintergrund über der Fontäne sieht man den Turm der Kathedrale, dann in der Mitte die Spitze des Hausmannsturms des Residenzschlosses, und rechts dann den Zwinger, davon ganz am Rand, den Wallpavillon.
Just right from the fountain in the background behind the trees you see the steeple of the Cathedral, more to the centre the spire of the Hausmann Tower of the Residential Palace and at the right edge the Rampart Pavilion of the Zwinger.
Der Zwinger ist ein Gebäudekomplex mit Gartenanlagen in Dresden. Das unter der Leitung des Architekten Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann und des Bildhauers Balthasar Permoser errichtete Gesamtkunstwerk aus Architektur, Plastik und Malerei gehört zu den bedeutenden Bauwerken des Barocks und ist neben der Frauenkirche das bekannteste Baudenkmal Dresdens. Sein Name Zwinger geht auf die im Mittelalter übliche Bezeichnung für einen Festungsteil zwischen der äußeren und inneren Festungsmauer zurück, obschon der Zwinger bereits bei Baubeginn keine dem Namen entsprechende Funktion mehr erfüllte.
Der Zwinger entstand ab 1709 als Orangerie und Garten sowie als repräsentatives Festareal. Seine reich verzierten Pavillons und die von Balustraden, Figuren und Vasen gesäumten Galerien zeugen von der Prachtentfaltung während der Regentschaft des Kurfürsten Friedrich August I. (auch „August der Starke“ genannt) und seines dadurch ausgedrückten Machtanspruchs. In der ursprünglichen Konzeption des Kurfürsten war der Zwinger als Vorhof eines neuen Schlosses vorgesehen, das den Platz bis zur Elbe einnehmen sollte; daher blieb der Zwinger zur Elbseite hin zunächst unbebaut (provisorisch mit einer Mauer abgeschlossen). Die Planungen zu einem Schlossneubau wurden nach dem Tod August des Starken aufgegeben, und mit der Abkehr vom Barock verlor der Zwinger zunächst an Bedeutung. Erst über ein Jahrhundert später schloss ihn der Architekt Gottfried Semper mit der Sempergalerie zur Elbe hin ab.
Die 1855 eröffnete Sempergalerie war eines der wichtigsten deutschen Museumsprojekte des 19. Jahrhunderts und ermöglichte die Ausweitung der seit dem 18. Jahrhundert unter den jeweiligen Zeiteinflüssen gewachsenen Nutzung des Zwingers als Museumskomplex. Die Luftangriffe auf Dresden am 13. und 14. Februar 1945 trafen den Zwinger schwer und führten zu umfangreichen Zerstörungen. Seit dem Wiederaufbau in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren beherbergt der Zwinger die Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, den Mathematisch-Physikalischen Salon und die Porzellansammlung. Die ursprüngliche Zweckbestimmung als Orangerie, Garten sowie als repräsentatives Festareal ist dabei zwar in den Hintergrund getreten; letztere wird mit der Aufführung von Musik- und Theaterveranstaltungen jedoch weiterhin gepflegt.

The Zwinger is a building complex with gardens in Dresden. Its name that means 'bailey' derives from what had stood before in this place on the ramparts of the city. Built under the direction of the architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann and the sculptor Balthasar Permoser, the Gesamtkunstwerk of architecture, sculpture and painting is one of the most important buildings of the baroque period and, along with Our Lady's Church, is the most famous architectural monument in Dresden. Its name Zwinger comes from the term used in the Middle Ages for a part of the fortress between the outer and inner fortification walls, although the Zwinger no longer fulfilled a function corresponding to its name when construction began.
The Zwinger was built from 1709 onwards as an orangery and garden and as a representative festival area. Its richly decorated pavilions and the galleries lined with balustrades, figures and vases bear witness to the splendour of the reign of Elector Frederick August I (also known as "August the Strong") and his claim to power. In the elector's original concept, the Zwinger was intended as the forecourt of a new palace, which was to occupy the square up to the Elbe; for this reason, the Zwinger remained undeveloped towards the Elbe side for the time being (provisionally closed off with a wall). The plans for a new palace were abandoned after the death of Augustus the Strong, and with the turning away from the Baroque, the Zwinger initially lost its importance. It was not until over a century later that the architect Gottfried Semper completed it with the Semper Gallery facing the Elbe.
Opened in 1855, the Semper Gallery was one of the most important German museum projects of the 19th century and enabled the extension of the use of the Zwinger as a museum complex, which had grown under the influence of the respective periods since the 18th century. The air raids on Dresden on 13 and 14 February 1945 hit the Zwinger hard and caused extensive destruction. Since its reconstruction in the 1950s and 1960s, the Zwinger has housed the Old Masters Picture Gallery, the Mathematical-Physical Salon and the Porcelain Collection. Although the original purpose of the Zwinger as an orangery, garden and representative festival area has been relegated to the background, the latter is still maintained with the performance of musical and theatre events.

Getting inspired by… The incredible work of Fine Art Photographer that I found on Facebook, this is my very first minimalist. For this shot, I keep going back and forth viewing the gallery of Nasrul Effendy and Yalçın Varnalı to get some ideas in post processing :)
I will greatly appreciate any constructive comments.
Seems like only yesterday that Katie and I were out trying to shoot the August Super Moon and here it is time to try again for the September Super Moon. "Stop the merry-go-round, I want to get off" comes to mind.
Perfect night.... beautiful weather and clear skies... but one of us had to work, and then took too long to get moving after work as well... so the moon was already high in the sky when we reached our destination. It was only a test run anyway.... but unfortunately the weather doesn't sound promising for the next two nights. Time will tell.... and fly.

I thought I'd have a little bit of a play with time lapse, this was taken using a gopro5.

Thinking about time these last days...
It's Labor Day Weekend here in the US. That means it's break time. Let's do exactly what this woman is doing and take a brief chill. Enjoy!
French Quarter, New Orleans.
With deadlines coming up,
the overwhelming numbing sensation
is oddly alarming
If only time could cease to be.
I need 6 photos to put in my portfolio in which relate to a theme. I was thinking maybe "conceptual" as a theme...
any ideas?
no graphics please! they'll be deleted. comments are more than welcome :) encouraged, even.

This was taken after the little chicks had left the nest and were seeking refuge in the fire flag. went to check on them yesterday but did not see any chicks although the mother was flying into one of the nearby bushes with fun. I have a feeling that only one has survived. It certainly is not easy for these little guys to make it.
I have two left in the series to post and then I will not be posting again until around the middle of July.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and blessed summer and many thanks for your continued support.

Thanks for your visit
I wrote this song on the morning of my first day without Pappy... 😓 The accompanying photo is Pap walking with Mom, an indelible image, an image of devotion, but there's no stopping life... Because: "Time Slips Away"... www.facebook.com/halvorsong
Today we put Pappy in the ground
And Mama's in the kitchen, crying out loud
Love 'em while you got 'em, everyday
It's a fact of life, time slips away
*Time slips away into tomorrow,
but the Lord is near all those in sorrow
Angels sing when the broken pray
It's a fact of life, time slips away
Today we put Pappy in the ground
Scattered ashes to the four winds now
His body made whole, our hearts are frayed
It's a fact of life, time slips away
*Time slips away like a power cord,
runnin' to Heaven and the Holy Lord
Angels sing when the broken pray
It's a fact of life, time slips away
To this Road all runners come,
willing or not to feel God's love
The ground is hard when we turn the spade
It's a fact of life, time slips away
*Time slips away into tomorrow,
but the Lord is with all those in sorrow
Angels sing when the broken pray
It's a fact of life, time slips away
It's a fact of life, time slips away 😔
After waiting all morning with little traffic to entertain us, my friend and I made our way to Doyle. After a couple hours of waiting, the train of the day showed up in the middle of the afternoon.
The day started early, a good friend of mine from Ohio was visiting so we took a day to go shoot the WP. I knew a CN leader was coming in, however, I was not sure when it would get to Portola, only that it would be later in the day. On the way to Portola, we saw MNPRV halted at Williams Loop and pulled off to shoot it. After catching that, we made an attempt to find MGRRV. After intercepting it just east of town, we raced to the yard and saw 1983, the WP heritage unit, trailing on the train. While our plan was to shoot this at Clio, the train had pickups and setouts to do, which also included dropping 1983. Unfortunately, by the time it left lighting really wasn't going to be great for the train anywhere. Since it traffic was going to dead for most of the afternoon, it turned into us trying to find ways to kill time. After eventually deciding to hover around Doyle, we pulled off at a crossing just north of town with signals. After a long few hours of waiting at the crossing, the signals lit up.
Knowing this was most definitely our train, we raced straight into town and found a spot to set up. Shooting across a field, the shot lined up with great clouds and a green field of grass in an otherwise dead looking environment... go figure it's a desert. Eventually, we would get to Chilcoot where another friend would show up minutes before the train. The three of us would follow it to Portola where we would see 1983 headed eastbound long hood forward. While we didn't follow 83 since we had no clue where it was headed, days later we would find out it went to Gerlach and got stuck on rotation with the gypsum trains. After the CN left Portola, we followed it until we were almost out of light, ending the day at Keddie with one of the coolest skies I've ever shot.
If you want to see my friend's shots from Keddie go check them out!
The Kermode bears (both the black and the rarer white phase called spirit bear) eat constantly during the time of plenty when the spawning salmon fill the streams of the Pacific Northwest, preparing for their long hibernation when they go without food for several months. I saw a number of bears, who were clearly full, catch salmon and just strip out the eggs, leaving the rest of the body for other scavengers in the area. The bears often drag their catches into the woods where the nutrients feed the rainforest.

Denise came this morning and whisked me away to Okanagan Lake to let the dog swim.
I think this will be my last time there before we go.
I got this french canadian guy named David to take a picture of us by the tree. It is awful. I had my eyes closed, Denise looked half asleep. That's what I get for letting a stranger take a picture that means alot to me. oh well. He tried.
I need a tripod. And a remote. Yup!

As the title suggests, this is a scene from a dream. It is a composite of ten images taken over the past decade. The muted colors are typical of a dream state, as are subtle distortions of space and time. The two people here look across space and time to themselves as they were eight years ago or eight years in the future.
The strong symbolism of conflict, here between the dangerous, terrible storm and the safe, dry house, between wind and calm, typify the drama of a dream. These opposites help to define and reinforce each other. What is peace without conflict, joy without sorrow?
Our thoughts and fears influence our dreams. One might wonder about the connection between dreams and reality, which at a deep level belong to us equally. Perhaps reality itself may be just another kind of dream, one from which most of us never wake up.
This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
