Uplifting Sight - A Field of Yellow Sunflowers.
I stopped to take some photos at the roadside.

I looked out of the window this morning and felt the damp greyness of the new day weigh heavily. The thought of more of the same for months to come hit me.... How silly to have my mood for the day set so early by the weather that is always changing here - except, of course when it doesn't change for weeks and the talk is all about climate change! So I found a nice cheerful picture of some of my favourite flowers to lift the spirits!!!
A beautiful & elegant display of these gorgeous & uplifting tulips.
Happy new week my friends, enjoy =)
I know I've posted a ton of Golden Gate Bridge pictures and countless fog pictures. And here is another one of them. I haven't been going out much lately, so I am just looking through some of my older photos and came across this one. Hope you like it.

When I climbed up the Hills of the Wiehengebirge near the Wittekindsburg on Saturday morning I spotted a team of paragliders preparing for their flight. Porta Westfalica, Ostwestfalen, Germany
I thought of what photo to post to sum up such a strange year, of highs and lows. As waves of virus have washed over us all I thought this photo of a wave building up ready to crash over these wonderful eroded rocks was perfect. There have been times of beauty in between the waves, Draped in sunlight and warmth, only to have plans dashed again. I can't complain, I had a fantastic six weeks in the Italian Alps and Sardinia in summer, then a great two weeks in Wales in November, . It's a. pity our planned trip to the Dolomites had to be cancelled, but I'm sure we'll do something else equally as exciting as soon as France allows me to travel again.
I wish everyone a wonderful New Year, and thanks so much for your support and friendship.
Uplift is by BE and is the sound of a hive of honeybees with a lovely orchestral accompaniment.

Zwei Wochen in einem Traumland, der Sächsischen Schweiz (Elbsandsteingebirge), mit einem Camper unterwegs.
Two weeks in a dreamland, Saxon Switzerland (Elbe Sandstone Mountains), with a camper on the way.
Ich stand früh zum Sonnenaufgang auf dem Kleinhennersdorfer Stein. Man sieht links die Kaiserkrone, daneben den Zirkelstein und im Nebel dahinter den Rosenberg.
I stood on the Kleinhennersdorfer Stein early at sunrise. You can see the Kaiserkrone (hill) on the left, next to it the Zirkelstein (hill) and in the fog behind it the Rosenberg (hill).

Sächsische Schweiz (Elbsandsteingebirge)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A4chsische_Schweiz
Als Sächsische Schweiz wird der deutsche Teil des Elbsandsteingebirges in Sachsen bezeichnet. Die durch bizarre Felsformen geprägte Landschaft liegt südöstlich von Dresden beiderseits der Elbe im Landkreis Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge.
Bergformen
In der Regel sind zwei Bergformen zu unterscheiden. Als Steine werden zahlreiche Felsformationen des Elbsandsteingebirges in der Böhmischen und Sächsischen Schweiz bezeichnet. Prominente Beispiele sind der Königstein, der Lilienstein, Gohrisch und Papststein. Die Bezeichnung erstreckt sich nicht auf die hügelartigen Kuppen aus vulkanischem Basalt oder granitischem Material des Grundgebirges wie die Waitzdorfer Höhe oder den Großen Winterberg.
Die kretazischen Sandsteingebilde ragen aus den sogenannten Ebenheiten heraus, dem ehemaligen Niveau der Elbe, und stellen ihrerseits Reste einer früheren Rumpffläche dar. Im Zuge der spättertiären Anhebung des Erzgebirges und des seitlichen Druckes vom Lausitzer Bergland zerbrach die Sandsteinplatte kreuzgitterartig, was bei gleichzeitig zunehmender Fließgeschwindigkeit der Elbe und rückschreitender Erosion in den Seitentälern Angriffsmöglichkeiten und Leitbahnen für die zerstörerische Kraft des Wassers bot. Zunächst verblieben die größeren Tafelberge (Lilienstein), oder bereits stark zerklüftete wie Zirkelstein oder Kaiserkrone, oder aber bereits bewaldete (Kohlbornstein), die sich bei weiterer erosiver Zerstörung in langgezogene Grate (Schrammsteine) bis hin zu einzelnen Felsnadeln (Torwächter) auflösten. Morphologisch härtere Schichtpartien, die der Erosion länger und erfolgreicher Widerstand leisten, bilden meist die oberste Schicht. Der Zusammenbruch erfolgt somit meist von unten her bzw. von den Felsflanken.

Saxon Switzerland - Elbe Sandstone Mountains
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_Switzerland
Saxon Switzerland (German: Sächsische Schweiz) is a hilly climbing area and national park around the Elbe valley south-east of Dresden in Saxony, Germany. Together with the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic it forms the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
Saxon Switzerland alone has some 1,000 climbing peaks, as well as several hollows. The area is popular with local and international climbers.
The administrative district for the area is Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge. The fortress of Königstein is a well-known landmark.
Hills
As a rule, two types of hill may be distinguished.
Numerous rock formations in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, in both Saxon Switzerland and Bohemian Switzerland, are known locally in this region as Steine ("rocks"). Prominent examples are the Königstein, the Lilienstein, the Gohrisch and the Papststein. This description does not, however, include the dome-shaped Kuppen such as the Waitzdorfer Höhe or the Großer Winterberg, whose bedrock is made of volcanic basalt or granitic material.
The Cretaceous sandstone formations soar above the so-called "levels" of their surrounding area, the former level of the River Elbe, and represent the remains of an old peneplain. In the course of the Late Tertiary, uplifting of the Ore Mountains and sideways pressure from the Lusatian Highlands shattered the sandstone plate along lines that intersected like a grid and this, combined with the simultaneously increasing stream velocity of the Elbe and regressive erosion in its side valleys, offered new lines of attack and new routes for the destructive power of water. Initially the larger table hills (Lilienstein), or those already deeply fissured like Zirkelstein, Kaiserkrone or already forested (Kohlbornstein), remained, but these too broke up later as a result of erosive destruction into long ridges (Schrammsteine) or even into individual rock pinnacles (Torwächter). Morphologically harder sections of strata, that resisted karstification longer and more successfully, generally form the uppermost layers. The collapse of rock structures is usually therefore a result of erosion from below or from the flanks.
Lovely to see these elements of Spring - which I found really uplifting in a time where most other stuff is very definitely in the other direction.

A backlit great grey owl about to lift off in pursuit of dinner. It landed a short distance away in a tree, waited a short time for its opportunity, then dove down to catch the vole that was under the snow. All the action was behind shrubs, unfortunately for me. The owl didn't give a hoot.
More sunrays! I was blessed the morning I took these shots, I was able to track the sun through different parts of the wood to capture many crepuscular moments for a good 15 minutes whilst the mist hung there almost waiting for someone to photograph it. So sorry, a few more to come yet :)
This one I especially like as the light lit up little areas of ground and highlighted the amazing amount of spiders webs that were woven overnight (and ended up on me!)
Regno Unito, East Sussex, Beachy Head, Autunno 2015
Beachy Head è un promontorio di gess nel sud dell'Inghilterra. La sua altezza lo ha reso uno dei luoghi di suicidio più noti al mondo. Il gesso si è formato tra i 66 ei 100 milioni di anni fa, quando la zona era sotto il mare. Poi il gesso è stato sollevato e l’ultima era Glaciale i livelli delle acque si sono sollevati tagliando il gesso per formare le attuali drammatiche scogliere. Il promontorio era un pericolo per la navigazione. Nel 1831, iniziò la costruzione di un faro sul promontorio ad ovest di Beachy Head. Ma a causa della nebbia e delle basse nubi, il Beachy Head Lighthouse è stato costruito a livello del mare. Beachy Head è nota per la scena finale di Quadrophenia, dove Phil Daniels tira uno scooter dalla cima della scogliera.
Beachy Head is a chalk headland in Southern England. Its height made it one of the most notorious suicide spots in the world. The chalk was formed between 66 and 100 million years ago, when the area was under the sea. Then the chalk was uplifted and after the last Ice Age sea levels rose cutting into the chalk to form the dramatic cliffs. The headland was a danger to shipping. In 1831, construction of a lighthouse began on the on the next headland west from Beachy Head. Because mist and low clouds, Beachy Head Lighthouse was built at the sea level. Beachy Head is well known for the closing scene of Quadrophenia, where Phil Daniels shoots a scooter from the top of the cliffs.
Do whatever makes you feel good.

These are the vans used to carry our bicycles around - we've just driven to the beginning of a long track to lead us down into Ronda
As each Snow Goose flaps it's wings it creates an uplift for the birds that follow. Snow Geese lifting off from a farmer's field, Route 934, near Fontana, Pennsylvania.
If only all days could begin with having the time to enjoy the sunrise. This shot was taken on an glorious October morning in the harbour at Collioure in Languedoc
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
A composite. The grands had fun with this one. They helped me take photos of the books. Other elements from my archives.
I walk this track with our dog most days and this section in autumn is an absolute joy. Quite a lot of the beech leaves are still there 3 weeks on from when this was taken, though the yellows and much of the green have now gone.
And HFF! to folks - it's been a while since my last upload to this once-popular topic!
A tidal wave swaying hearts,
Tsunami of a hopeful start,
Splashing around we go,
Keeping up with the flow,
Despite the waters depth,
Countless promises unkept,
Dual strength is formed,
A unique love born,
Hand in hand from now,
They made a silent vow,
Together like never before,
Looking forward to explore,
Hope, strength and support,
As well as each others comfort,
Tight hug in the end of the day,
Actions have a lot more to say,
Surreal endless connection,
Under each others protection,
Believing in our creative souls,
Cheering till we reach our goals,
To pull up when down,
Will never let each other drown,
Counting the passing days,
Choosing each other, always...
Poem by Me. :)
P.S. I was so inspired by this video: -
World of Dance Stars Charity and Andres CRUSH 10 Minute Photo Challenge - Jordan Matter
One of the photos totally stole my heart, there was just something about how spontaneous that picture was, the one done in the middle of the street on a dirty puddle. Somehow looked so dreamy, so uplifting and so inspirational! I couldn't think of a more better spot to have recreated this shot, in the once Kintsugi, right in the middle of Bambi's maple tunnel and even her amazing breathtaking water droplets seen so beautifully.
Special thank you to Jay, my awesome sweetest friend, for giving me the idea how to do the splashes!
A grey and dank day. Then a burst of golden light, a new year, and ray of renewed hope for 2021. There's more than just light at the end of the tunnel, it has to be a better place!
