At the open-air museum of Groß Raden. This is the site for a Slavic settlement from the 9th and 10th centuries AD - and show two distinct building phases. The first settlement dates to the middle of the 9th century, but after just a few decades it was totally destroyed through fire. But the settlement was rebuilt again around 900.

The building to the left, with wattle and daub walls, is how the houses in the first phase looked. When the settlement was repopulated they built the kind of much sturdier blockhouses you can see to the right.

The place is thought to have been a gathering place, both for religious things and the exchange of goods, for the West Slavic tribe the Warnower (or Warnabi, Wrani et c. - the name comes in many forms).

The settlement (the name lost to us) was destroyed again around the year 1000 - but how is still a bit of a mystery. It has been speculated, though not proven, that this had something to do with the campaign by German king Otto III against Slavic tribes he made in 995.

After the abandonment this spot was left alone, not used to much more than animal grazing, until the archaeologists started to dig there in the 1973. The museum was opened in 1987. The main archaeologist behind this excavation, Ewald Schuldt, lived to see this, but died just a couple of weeks later.

Jaçanas use their long toes to spread their weight and prevent them from sinking as they walk across the lily pads. The word jaçana is a bird name the Portuguese acquired from the Amazonian Tupi Indians. The alternative name is lily-trotter. Jaçanas are rare among bird species in that it is the male which incubates the eggs and cares for the young. Breeds in wetlands from India to Taiwan.

But for me it is something special.

In my country, oranges are not grow, and these trees are just amazing for me

Feel, like in a fairytale, and that's amazing

The Maudaiae type of Paphhiopedilum, single flowered hybrid called after one of the first, and most delightful, hybrids made within this group. Their oval leaves are attractively mottled in green and gray-green, sometimes darkly peppered on the undersides, and their elegant flowers, carried proudly on tall, slender stems.

I used 4 Wombo creations to bring this together. The top half and bottom half are 2 different images. The car and the tree beside it were 2 separate images. All was blended using Pixelmator Pro.

Prompts: Autumn trees, windy, swirling leaves, puddles, misty, cold, ultra realistic details

Style: The City

Notes: Using Rollei Retro 80s for the first time, could not find any developing time for Xtol 1:1. So my negative came out too dense and over develop. Next time will try ISO 64 and 9 minutes on Xtol @ 1:1.

A teneral Damselfly I found today at Wollaton Park, not sure on species, thinking Ischnura elegans. This one was a great subject, almost looks like it was posing for a portrait.

This was a 13 image focus stack, I used my Canon 1000D and shot using JPEGS, ISO 200, aperture F/5.6 and a 1/160 shutter speed. I used a diffused flash in ETTL mode.

Zooooommmmm

Shakespeare used birds, particularly the Skylark, to represent sweetness and freshness suach as in Cymbaline - "Hark, hark the Lark at heaven's gate sings" and in Love's Labour Lost - "Merry Larks are Ploughman's clocks..."

Mid 19th Century Paris was so elegant, I doubt Renoir would have been so inspired in early 21st Century London

Experiments in infra red in the back garden. Despite the April frosts my Magnolia is doing well. I was out early on to get a shot using the Z6 without any infra red conversion just with a with an Urth I-Red 72 filter and this set up seems to to do a decent IR shot. Had the camera on a tripod with the 2nd timer on it & I'm relatively pleased with the results. It probably looks more like a black and white than an ir shot. But I think when we have more leaves and blossom etc. It will work fine. I've tried IR filters on other lenses and cameras and I end up with hot spots so this seems a good combo. Hope you enjoy.

It is well known now as Shakespeare's phrase "The Darling Buds of May" was used as the title for his novel by H.E. Bates... which has since been adapted for television too 😊

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

I used a painterly app on this shot. Another one found in my archives. I've been staying home during this stressful time, so no new photos.

I do hope you are all healthy and safe and thank you so much for your visits, comments, faves and group invites. I do appreciate them all.

I used my car as a blind and had great looks at this fella in this meadow scaling down both sides of this trunk. I'll be catching up on photos since things are finally winding down for me. Click for large view.

Used the 70D's built-in HDR setting. It doesn't always give good results but I was happy with this example.

Thanx for all comments and all the best. We're all belong to each other and came from same father and mother (Adam and Eve), so peace and justice for all :)
