Otrobanda (meaning ‘the other side’) is on the opposite side of St. Anna Bay. This district was developed in the 18th century. The main shopping street in Otrobanda is the Breedestraat. You can find this street between Kura Hulanda and the Riffort. Kura Hulanda is one of the best restorations of Otrobanda. An entire section of Otrobanda’s dilapidated slum was transformed into a magnificently renovated historical district, the best example of Dutch colonial architecture in the Caribbean.

The imposing geology of the Giant's Causeway, Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Giant's Causeway, located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.
A l'origine, le domaine faisait partie intégrante de la Forêt de Soignes. En 1833, le marquis Maximilien de Béthune achète 341 ha de forêts, qu'il fait partiellement défricher pour y aménager un parc. Il fait construire trois maisons de garde et deux fermes et entreprend ensuite la construction du château (achevée en 1842), dont il confie la réalisation à l'architecte français Jean-Jacques Nicolas Arveuf-Fransquin et au belge Jean-François Coppens.
Érigé au sommet de la colline, de style néo-renaissance flamand très prisé à l'époque, le château, paré de briques rouges avec des lignes de pierres naturelles, est flanqué de quatre tours et de quatre tourelles. Le terrain marécageux du bas de la colline est transformé en étang.
De 1871 à 1893, le domaine devient la propriété du baron Antoine de Roest d'Alkemade qui l'agrandit au sud jusqu'à ses limites actuelles en acquérant des prairies, les berges de l'Argentine et les étangs de Nysdam.
En 1893, l'industriel Ernest Solvay, Fondateur de la société internationale « Solvay & Co », achète la propriété pour en faire sa résidence d'été. Il confie à Victor Horta le soin de revoir les aménagements intérieurs du château. Une terrasse est aménagée en façade, surmontée d'une marquise vitrée à colonnes de fonte. Ernest Solvay fait réaménager le parc et agrandit encore le domaine qui atteint en 1920, 490 hectares.
Ernest Solvay lègue ses biens de son vivant à ses enfants. Le domaine de La Hulpe est divisé entre ses deux fils, Edmond qui reçoit la partie nord et Armand, l'aîné, qui reçoit le château et la partie basse de la propriété, dont l'ensemble constitue le domaine Solvay actuel.
Armand Solvay, puis son fils, Ernest-John réalisent d'importants aménagements du domaine qui lui donneront sa configuration actuelle.
L'architecte Georges Collin modifie considérablement l'aspect du château. Les tourelles, le clocheton central et la marquise sont supprimés, les flèches des tours sont raccourcies, la brique rouge est recouverte d'un enduit clair.
Ernest-John fait construire un belvédère auquel mène un escalier de 140 marches. Un jardin à la française est créé sur un côté du château. Face à la façade principale, une percée rectiligne engazonnée de 800 mètres à travers la forêt se termine par un obélisque de 36 mètres de haut surmonté d'un soleil doré. Il fait planter des espèces exotiques encore présentes aujourd'hui.
Préoccupé par la perspective d'un morcellement futur du domaine, il obtient son classement en 1963 et décide quelques années plus tard d'en faire don à l'État belge, à la condition de le maintenir dans son intégrité et de promouvoir les manifestations et rencontres culturelles.
Après le décès d'Ernest-John en 1972, cette magnifique propriété de 227 Ha devint accessible au grand public.

Transforming a deer photograph into a Van Gogh-style masterpiece using AI is a fascinating blend of nature and artistry! Here’s how you can do it:
Capturing the Deer
- Lighting & Composition: Opt for soft, natural light, preferably during golden hour, to highlight the texture of the deer’s fur.
- Background: Consider framing the deer against a dramatic landscape—perhaps misty woods or a sunlit field—to enrich the final aesthetic.
- Movement vs. Stillness: A standing, contemplative deer might suit a portrait effect, while one mid-stride could add dynamic energy.
AI Style Transfer
To achieve a Van Gogh effect:
- Use Style Transfer Tools: Platforms like Deep Dream Generator, Runway ML, or Prisma allow AI to overlay famous artistic styles.
- Adjust Brushstroke Effects: Van Gogh’s style is known for bold brushwork and swirling patterns, so tweak settings to exaggerate movement in the image.
- Color Enhancements: Amplify the saturation and introduce warm yellows, deep blues, and contrasting greens—hallmarks of his palette.
- Texture Refinement: Some tools let you emphasize impasto-like effects, mimicking his thick paint application.
Would you like advice on the best software for achieving this transformation? Or perhaps some tips on fine-tuning the AI-generated output?
If so maybe ask here
Overnight snow transformed the landscape. Seen just a couple of hours ago outside Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, Ireland. The sheep, dumb as they are, couldn't care less about the weather.

More than a year ago already I posted an imago of a romantic couple posing on the rim of the Charyn Canyon (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49239492492/in/datepo...), a wonderful spot in the far east of Kazakhstan (and the most eastern point that I ended up during this journey, ca 100 kilometer close to the border with China).
After that shot we walked down into the canyon, along a very rough but also scenic path. We ended in this lovely oasis where the river the Charyn has carved its way through the rock formations with all those intense red and purple rocks. And where water is, arid landscapes turn green.
If you want to sleep in this place, there is a campsite and cabins to stay for the night.
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.

Macro Mondays
{BAM 17 of 52}

I normally don't wear this much make-up but when I do I can honestly say I feel transformed. lol
Happy Macro Monday everyone! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
By the way my eyebrows are having a bad day lol
When the beloved pass away, Christmas transforms from a joyful celebration into a deeply complex emotional journey. The absence becomes a profound, almost tangible presence - a silent void where love, warmth, and tradition once resided.
So I’ll raise my cup to the stars up above,
To the moments we shared and the love that remains.
Though this Christmas feels heavy with sorrow and love,
I’ll carry you with me through joy and through pains.

My local pier, which is no longer in use, has fallen into a state of disrepair. I still see it as a thing of beauty and interest. I captured this image at sunrise yesterday and although there was little colour, due to the impending rain clouds, the Long Exposure gave some lovely movement in the sky and smoothed the water nicely. Beauty from something which at first glance, was not so beautiful.
I reckon this shot is a bit too late for the movie - Transformer. I didn't even realise this shot is in my archives... that's what happen when one has too much crap in his harddrive :P Anyway, its still better late than never! Sorry its a post & run this morning as its way past midnight here & I'm going to transform myself into a sleeping log now. Should see you shortly soon! ciao!

Super-Padd has almost recovered from the accident.
He was on his way to Mummy Marian's house when he collided with the sliding door on landing. He was unconscious for a while and suffered from paw problems.
He now wants to meet Paddy, Daddy Jesse and all the other bears who live in Australia.
Peter told Super-Padd about the secret magical portal in Mummy Marian's garden and also told him when you go through the portal you are in Australia.
But..because S-Padd is too big, he cannot go through the portal.
Peter asked for help from the fairy-mother.
She came immediately with fairy-dust.
Peter took Super-Padd to the agreed place in the garden after sunset.....
SUPER-PADD:
I do find it a bit scary Peter.
I don't know what's happening.
PETER:
Have faith in the Fairy Mother....look...there she is already!!!!
FAIRY-MOTHER:
I don't have much time Peter and Super-Padd. So if you stay still, I'll do the spell and sprinkle fairy-dust all over you Super-Padd. Then you can go through the gate.
It takes a few seconds to transform.
If there are any problems, you can send me an app.
Here we go....
Fairy Mother does the spell...sprinkles fairydust all over Super-Padd.
After that, she disappeared.
The fairy-dust circles around Super-Padd. Fog forms...a thud....and....
PETER:
Huh....Super Padd....where are you???????
SUPER-PADD: (replies in a small voice)
Here Peter!!!
Boy are you big! What happened to you?????

Als botanischer Schaugarten hat der Berggarten in Hannover schon seit Jahrhunderten international einen Namen. Viele neue Pflanzenarten wurden hier entdeckt und erstmals beschrieben. Schon 1704 nahm der Berggarten als Maulbeerplantage seinen Anfang. Damit blickt er auf eine fast ebenso lange Geschichte zurück wie der Große Garten. Einen Berg, wie ihn der Name suggeriert, sucht man heute jedoch vergeblich. In den Anfangsjahren der Sommerresidenz Herrenhausen erstreckte sich nördlich des heutigen Großen Gartens die leichte Anhöhe einer Sanddüne. Sie wurde jedoch bereits um 1700 abgetragen; geblieben ist nur ein leichter Höhenversatz zwischen Orangerie (am Großen Garten) und dem Eingang des Berggartens. Kurfürstin Sophie hatte ein so großes Interesse an fremdartigen Pflanzen, dass sie wie später auch ihre Tochter Charlotte regelmäßig einen Teil ihres „Nadelgeldes“ für die Anschaffung neuer Gewächse zur Verfügung stellte. Der Berggarten diente so mehr und mehr der Anzucht und Pflege seltener Pflanzen. Schwerpunkte der heutigen Pflanzensammlungen in den Gewächshäusern sind Orchideen, Kakteen, Pflanzen des tropischen Regenwaldes und die Pflanzen der Kanarischen Inseln.
Der Garten ist insgesamt 12 ha groß. Die über 12.000 Pflanzenarten des Gartens können das ganze Jahr über besucht werden.

The Hill Garden in Hanover has been internationally renowned as a botanical show garden for centuries. Many new plant species were discovered and described here for the first time. The Hill Garden began as a mulberry plantation back in 1704. It therefore looks back on a history almost as long as that of the Great Garden. However, contrary to what its name suggests, there is no hill to be found there today. In the early years of the Herrenhausen summer residence, a slight sand dune hill stretched north of what is now the Great Garden. However, it was levelled around 1700, leaving only a slight difference in height between the Orangery (at the Great Garden) and the entrance to the Berggarten. Electress Sophie was so interested in exotic plants that she, like her daughter Charlotte later on, regularly made part of her ‘pocket money’ available for the purchase of new plants. The Berggarten was thus increasingly used for the cultivation and care of rare plants. Today's plant collections in the greenhouses focus on orchids, cacti, plants from the tropical rainforest and plants from the Canary Islands.
The garden covers a total area of 12 hectares. The garden's more than 12,000 plant species can be visited all year round.
