and hereäs one more image of windows of the Alhambra: a view onto the verdant slopes of Granada from the Nasrides Palace within the Alhambra.With such a view, I woiuld have never known where to look, at the incredibly artful walls covered with the most elaborate and sophisticated arabescque patterns or the amazing landscape outside.

 

Happy Windows Wednesday!

The unbelievably elaborate and intricate decoration of the Alhambra in Granada reminds me of times when different cultures coexisted in rather fruitful togetherness.

 

Happy Textural Tuesday!

An attractive decorative glass Christmas bauble, in high key ...

Thanks for the views, faves and comments very much appreciated.

The stones rest, unmoving, as time flows around them. The water, smooth as glass, mirrors the golden whispers of a distant town, stretching into the night like a dream unbroken. The sky, deep and endless, cradles faint trails of stars—silent witnesses to the slow breath of the lake. In this moment, all is still, yet the world keeps moving.

A tranquil winter forest scene with a frozen lake, surrounded by bare trees. The soft light filtering through the branches adds a melancholic and mysterious atmosphere to the black-and-white photograph. Shot on Agfa APX 100 film with a Minolta Dynax 700si, the image is unedited, highlighting the timeless beauty of analog photography.

 

A quiet moment with De Hond, the historic windmill standing proud since 1861 in the Frisian village of Paesens. Captured in black and white to honor its enduring presence and rustic charm. Sometimes, stillness speaks louder than motion.

A lone tree stands like a memory etched in the sky, its bare branches spreading into the stillness. The land sleeps beneath a faded winter light, and in the distance, a solitary figure walks—small against the quiet vastness. The horizon is a blur of forgotten time, where earth and sky no longer argue about where one ends.

Upon the hushèd moor in morning’s grace,

Doth wander flock in soft and solemn line,

Their breath a mist, their step a lover’s pace,

As if they know the hour, yet shun the sign.

No shepherd calls, yet still they do obey

The silent pull of earth, of time, of day.

A year ago, she opened to the sun and wind,

fragile, pure, unaware of the coming sorrow.

Now I see her in this photograph – a moment of light, before the shadows touched the world.

Her beauty remains, memory and hope intertwined.

I took this photo from the edge of the Adige River, looking across toward a row of traditional buildings in Verona. The bell tower of the Duomo di Verona stands prominently in the background, made of pale stone with arched openings and decorative details. The sky was filled with large, textured clouds that added contrast to the warm tones of the architecture.

The mystery and allure of a centuries-old masonry arcade door in Katas Raj, which leads out to wide fields, is beautifully captured in this photograph. Rough-hewn bricks and a weathered archway evoke thoughts of time and the history of the area, leaving one to wonder what mysteries may be hidden within. The photograph captures the awe and intrigue of this historic location, enticing the viewer to learn more about it by exploring the site.

This peaceful village church stands at the heart of Archettes, a small commune nestled in the Vosges region of northeastern France. With its elegant stone façade, pointed steeple, the church reflects the quiet character and history of the region.

Surrounded by simple homes, power lines, and a tree-lined lane, it offers a beautiful glimpse into everyday life in rural France — where tradition and tranquility remain untouched by time.

This morning I have surprised Onessa with a gift, a handprinted cupboard for her sleeping room, she loves it but there is a problem she wants to take it to Holland which is not possible it's to big :)

The path vanished into white. Every step uncertain, every step necessary.

Only the sound of our own steps proved we were still on the way.

I captured this scene of the iconic Pulteney Bridge spanning the River Avon early one morning in Bath, Somerset UK. I really liked the framing of the surrounding trees as well as the lovely soft light on the Bath stone buildings.

A solitary tree stands quietly atop the dunes of the Drunense Duinen, silhouetted against a glowing orange sky. In this fleeting moment, earth and sky embrace, and the landscape breathes poetry, solitude, and timeless beauty.

Una 500, immobile e splendida, come un frammento di memoria posato sulla strada. Il fascino senza tempo allo stato puro.

Mi sono sentito obbligato a fotografarla, è un ricordo d’infanzia.

Perched atop the hill, this majestic medieval castle overlooks the sprawling lands below. It's like stepping back in time, the ancient stones holding echoes of history. As the clouds dance across the sky, the castle stands firm, a testament to the architectural prowess of a bygone era.

This black-and-white photograph captures a serene mountain village, with a prominent church tower standing tall amidst lush greenery and rolling hills in the background.

For Macro Monday, I captured these small monastery bells gently dangling from a weathered wooden beam in Klosterhof Bernried. Their aged metal texture and delicate suspension on steel cables tell a story of time and tradition. The fine details of these rustic bells shine through in monochrome, emphasizing their historic charm and craftsmanship. A peaceful moment frozen in time, where every dangle carries an echo of the past.

Captured the serene beauty of Piazza Martiri dell'Olivetta in Portofino. 🌿 This charming square, surrounded by historic architecture, exudes a timeless elegance that perfectly complements the coastal allure of Portofino. The blend of cobblestone streets, vibrant flowers, and the inviting ambiance makes this spot a true gem. #PortofinoMagic #PiazzaMartiridell'Olivetta #TimelessBeauty

A late morning walk along the shore of Lake Starnberg, where the mist veils the Alps in the distance. The familiar mountain peaks remain hidden, though I know they are there—I've seen them many times before in clear detail. But not today. The sun is up, yet mostly obscured by clouds, casting a soft, diffused light over the landscape. A shimmering reflection stretches across the water, a long beam of light breaking through the haze. To the right, the mist thickens, blurring the horizon and erasing all clarity. A tranquil, almost dreamlike scene of light, water, and uncertainty.

 

And since a photo needs a frame, a few branches of a tree shoreside where I am standing

This HDR photo captures the timeless beauty of the Katas Raj Temple, which is set among the landscape of Punjab. Reflections of the blue sky and greenery can be seen in the pond surrounded by ancient stone temples. It is a mesmerizing sight to behold.

🇬🇧 She doesn’t blink. She doesn’t speak.

The overall atmosphere is calm and urban, highlighting the monument’s impressive structure and the early morning light.

Description:

"Historic synagogue with striking baroque architecture, surrounded by a serene courtyard and gravestones." bw

It is the springtime of my loving

The second season I am to know

You are the sunlight in my growing

So little warmth I've felt before

 

It isn't hard to feel me glowing

I watched the fire that grew so low

It is the summer of my smiles

Flee from me Keepers of the Gloom

Speak to me only with your eyes

It is to you I give this tune

 

Ain't so hard to recognize, oh

These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh, oh oh

 

Talk

Talk, talk, talk, talk, hey!

 

I've felt the coldness of my winter

I never thought it would ever go

I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us

But I know that I love you so, oh oh

But I know that I love you so

 

These are the seasons of emotion

And like the winds they rise and fall

This is the wonder of devotion

I seek the torch we all must hold

This is the mystery of the coldest quotient

Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall

It's just a little rain, oh, oh, ooh, yeah

The Duomo di Milano doesn’t just stand — it dominates. Every spire, every statue, every intricate carving is a testament to raw endurance and timeless artistry. This isn’t just architecture; it’s a fortress of faith carved from the very bones of the Earth.

 

Built from solid Candoglia marble, its façade radiates power, resilience, and a kind of cold beauty that only stone can hold. Touch it, and you feel centuries of history pressing back.

 

Here, marble isn’t delicate. It’s a warrior.

The Gergeti Trinity Church, located in Georgia, is situated on a mountain top near the village of Gergeti, near Stepantsminda Kazbegi in the Caucasus region, at an altitude of about 2,170 metres. The first light of dawn in the foreground of the photo enhances the mystical character of the location, while the snow-capped peaks and the dark silhouettes of the church emphasize the dramatic atmosphere of the landscape. This area is popular with hikers and photographers for its breathtaking views and historical value. The impressive snow-capped peaks of Mount Kazbek in the background are illuminated by the golden glow of the rising sun. The Georgian Orthodox church was built in the 14th century and is a beautiful example of medieval Georgian architecture. The church is an important national symbol of Georgia and attracts many pilgrims and tourists every year. Behind the Gergeti Trinity Church lies Kazbek (in Georgian: მყინვარწვერი, Mkinvartsveri), with an altitude of 5,054 meters one of the highest and most famous mountains in Georgia and the Greater Caucasus. Although the mountain is hidden in this photo, Kazbek is known for its impressive presence and mythological significance. Kazbek is an extinct stratovolcano. The name Mkinvartsveri means the Icy Peak in Georgian. The mountain is popular among mountaineers and adventurers. The standard route for the ascent usually starts from Stepantsminda, with the Gergeti Trinity Church serving as the starting point. Kazbek is often covered in snow and ice, which adds to the spectacular and mysterious appearance of the region. On clear days, the summit offers beautiful panoramic views of the Caucasus.

De Gergeti Trinity Church, gelegen in Georgië, bevindt zich op een bergtop bij het dorp Gergeti, nabij Stepantsminda Kazbegi in de Kaukasus-regio, op ongeveer 2170 meter hoogte. Het eerste zonlicht van de ochtend op de voorgrond van de foto versterkt het mystieke karakter van de locatie, terwijl de besneeuwde bergtoppen en de donkere silhouetten van de kerk de dramatische sfeer van het landschap benadrukken. Dit gebied is geliefd bij wandelaars en fotografen vanwege het adembenemende uitzicht en de historische waarde. De indrukwekkende besneeuwde toppen van de Kazbek op de achtergrond worden verlicht door de gouden gloed van de opkomende zon. De Georgisch-orthodoxe kerk is gebouwd in de 14e eeuw en is een prachtig voorbeeld van middeleeuwse Georgische architectuur. De kerk is een belangrijk nationaal symbool van Georgië en trekt jaarlijks veel pelgrims en toeristen. Achter de Gergeti Trinity Church ligt de Kazbek (in het Georgisch: მყინვარწვერი, Mkinvartsveri), met een hoogte van 5.054 meter een van de hoogste en bekendste bergen in Georgië en de Grote Kaukasus. Hoewel de berg op deze foto verscholen is, staat Kazbek bekend om zijn indrukwekkende aanwezigheid en mythologische betekenis. Kazbek is een uitgedoofde stratovulkaan. De naam Mkinvartsveri betekent de IJzige Top in het Georgisch. De berg is populair onder bergbeklimmers en avonturiers. De standaardroute voor de beklimming begint meestal in Stepantsminda, waarbij de Gergeti Trinity Church als startpunt dient. Kazbek is vaak bedekt met sneeuw en ijs, wat bijdraagt aan de spectaculaire en mysterieuze uitstraling van de regio. Op heldere dagen biedt de top een prachtig panoramisch uitzicht over de Kaukasus.

Amidst the serene landscapes of Darjeeling, we found ourselves at the Rock Garden, a place where nature’s beauty is at its most captivating. The cascading waterfalls, with their graceful descent, created an atmosphere of tranquility and awe. Yet, it was your appreciation of the scene that truly elevated the experience.

 

As the water flowed over the rocks, its steady rhythm seemed to mirror the quiet elegance with which you observed it. Your thoughtful gaze, filled with admiration for the purity and simplicity of nature, made the moment even more profound. The stillness of the surroundings only amplified the quiet joy I felt watching you embrace the beauty of this natural wonder.

Life is a journey defined by motion and moments of stillness, each equally important in shaping who we are. Like the steady turn of bicycle wheels, life moves forward through our efforts and choices, urging us to explore, grow, and embrace the unknown. Yet, true fulfillment often lies not in the speed or distance of our progress but in the moments when we pause to reflect, breathe, and appreciate the beauty of the world around us. These pauses teach us that the journey is as meaningful as the destination, filled with fleeting yet profound experiences that leave lasting imprints on our hearts.

 

Guidance is another quiet, constant presence in life. Like a beacon of light cutting through the fog, our values, dreams, and relationships guide us when the path ahead seems uncertain. Trusting these inner lights helps us find clarity and direction, even during life's stormiest chapters. And as the waves of time ripple past, we're reminded of the power of balance—of moving forward with intention while remaining grounded in the present. In that harmony lies the essence of life: a journey illuminated by purpose, enriched by connection, and made extraordinary by the simple act of cherishing the moments that make us whole.
