……Saved this from a trash bin, during a move by a dear one.
Sunday raindrops
Clock goes tick, tock
I hate myself for staring at the phone
Kept all your texts, can’t erase them
I’d call you up but I know you’re not alone
I know that I should not hold on
So why can’t I let go
‘Cause every time I’m with you
Somehow I forget to breathe
You got me like a rag doll
Now I’m dancing on your string
And I keep trying to figure out who you are to me
But maybe all that we were meant to be
Is beautifully unfinished
Beautifully unfinished
...City
While Rome is the Eternal City one might call Berlin the eternal building site. Or The Unfinished City. Construction cranes are as prominently featured in Berlin's skyline as sights. And it can happen that, if you haven't visited a place in a longer while ("easy" in pandemic times), you'll find old, familiar buildings gone, while new buildings seem to pop up out of nowhere everywhere. I've taken this image last week after a visit to the Futurium (a "House of the Future", opened in 2019 – I'll post images from there soon); in the foreground you can see the river Spree, and the glass building on the left is Berlin's Central Station, the Hauptbahnhof (HBF). Noteworthy: The HBF's upper platforms aren't fully roofed, because the Deutsche Bahn (DB; the German Railway Company) wanted to open the HBF in time for the 2006 World Football Championship by all means, and it would have taken until 2008 to finish the roof. The irony: All the construction parts needed to finish the roof were already manufactured. To this date these parts are stored on the premises of Berlin's East Station. Will the roof ever be finished? Who knows... The construction site you see in front of the HBF has nothing to do with the HBF's roof. It is that of the new S 21 suburban railway line, which is scheduled for completion in 2022. Allegedly...
At first, I wanted to process this as a monochrome, because the scene is rather busy. But I liked all these colours. So I thought "embrace the chaos, embrace the construction site and all those cranes", and do it in colour ;) The final image is an HDR made from three images (in HDR Efex), with further processing / sliding steps in Color Efex.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and healthy, and take care!
Die Unvollendete
Rom ist ja bekanntlich die Ewige Stadt. Und Berlin könnte man getrost als die Ewige Baustelle bezeichnen. Oder auch als Die Unvollendete. Baukräne gehören zur Berliner Skyline wie seine Sehenswürdigkeiten. Gerade in Pandemiezeiten, wenn man manche Orte schon lange nicht mehr besucht hat, kann es dann auch passieren, dass alte, vertraute Gebäude plötzlich verschwunden sind, während allerorten Neues entsteht. Dieses Foto des Hauptbahnhofs mit einem Seitenarm der Spree im Vordergrund habe ich vergangene Woche nach einem Besuch des Futuriums (2019 eröffnet, Fotos von dort zeige ich demnächst) gemacht. Die Baustelle am Europaplatz, die Ihr hier seht, bedeutet allerdings nicht, dass die Deutsche Bahn nun doch das Dach für die oberen Bahnsteige des Hauptbahnhofs verlängern würde. Die dafür nötigen Bauteile, längst fertiggestellt, lagern weiterhin (hoffentlich gut verstaut) am Berliner Ostbahnhof. Diese Baustelle gehört zur neuen S-Bahnlinie S21, für die ein unterirdischer Bahnsteig gebaut wird. Geplante Fertigstellung: 2022. Warten wir's ab.
Ich wollte das Foto erst als SW / getöntes Monochrom bearbeiten, weil hier ja ganz schön viel los ist. SW sah mir aber zu trüb aus, weshalb ich bei Farbe geblieben bin. Das Foto habe ich in HDR Efex aus einer 3er-Belichtungsreihe erstellt und für Sliders Sunday in Color Efex noch den einen oder anderen Filter (ich weiß wirklich nicht mehr, welche Filter genau) angewendet.
Habt einen guten Wochenstart und passt weiterhin gut auf Euch auf!

Now that I've been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more
The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more
Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I'm missing every part
Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I'm missing every part
Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I'm missing every part
for happy smile 😚 on Saturday
#carved artpieces
I started carving this sculpture in 1970, while I was working the wood split, I didn't like that at that time, nowadays I don't mind a few cracks, maybe I'm going to finish this piece next summer in my yard.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dit beeld hakte ik in 1970, terwijl ik bezig was barste het hout, dat vond ik toen niet mooi, tegenwoordig zit ik niet meer met een scheurtje meer of minder, misschien ga ik het van de zomer toch maar afmaken.
I'm still waiting to get my dream shot of these rock formations...although it was never going to happen on my latest visit when we were enroute to Kangaroo Island...we simply didn't have the time to spend waiting for sunset. But at least it wasn't bucketing down with rain with howling wind like the last time :)
Taken a couple of months ago. I get out a lot in the winter.
This is down Cleacer Rd. My favourite fence spot.
Happy Fence Friday
Once I folded the grid, a division of 1:64, I started to fold from the middle, in this case, the 'butterfly-pattern".
But because of the fragility and weakness of the paper I closed the little hexagon, so the pattern would hold together, that's is why it looks different then the finished "butterfly on the right below. You could say it looks more like a flower, this way ;-))
Also I had to change the distance where the next butterfly would be, because of the paper I used, it is not easy to fold. It is less accurate... the photo shows...please reminds me not to use this paper for this kind of folding....
I also had to remove some the fibers, they are not foldable, unfortunately....
On the left below, I hope you see how the continuation of this pattern takes place.
I made this photo in full sunlight, and the fun part is that the paper gets a metallic look.
Here you can see the completed pattern , called "Finished".
If you want to see other variations of my "Butterfly"-molecule pattern, click here for the album, where you can see my other tessellations, based on this "Butterfly-molecule".

I was walking not far from Camden and it was lying on the ground. It is just electric piano, but still i feel sorry when such thing is thrown away.. Nevertheless, wish you easy week ahead!
Unfinished Melody
Days spent
limping down
piano keys
and knocking
on cellos
covering my body
with the sheet musics
she left
convincing myself
a tune is meant
for me
somewhere
played lonely and soft
like Gymnopedie No 1
embracing
a leftover summer night.

Bruno Torfs' sculpture garden was razed in huge fires and he has been slaving away to restore the sculptures and gardens. They are coming along really well. The pianist was shattered but is now restored, veiled in autumn leaves as he "plays" in the rain.

Is beautifully unfinished
Lyveden New Bield (or New Build) is a remarkable unfinished Elizabethan building in Northamptonshire, England. The story of the incomplete structure remains unknown, made all the more mysterious by the large labyrinth on the grounds that remained hidden for centuries until it was revealed by World World II Luftwaffe air photos.
New Bield is located on the grounds of the Lyveden Manor House (also known as “Old Bield”), the second home of Sir Thomas Tresham. The exact date of its construction is unknown, but it is usually estimated to be around 1604 to 1605, the year of Tresham’s death.
When you knock on my door, I will open it. And invite you in.
Offer you a chair. We'll sit down at the table.
Look at each other. There is so much I want to ask you.
Instead I'll listen to your slow words.
You're right, it's all in vain.

Luke 14:27-30: “If you do not carry your own cross and follow Me, you cannot be My disciple. You must count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’”
