One of the few sunny winter days and the first snow of the year in our region.
Whenever I see such old trees (here an apple tree) I want to capture them in the picture. As a result of intensive agricultural use, trees are rarely replanted. In addition, every year some trees fall victim to the winter storms, as well as a few days ago here in the area.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

I cannot visit The Tangled Garden without photographing the lavender basket...Fact! I was thrilled to find the addition of the snippers in there this time.
My newest addition to my Lake Moraine pictures. It was lightly snowing/hailing out this day so It was a pain to climb to the top but I set up my camera for a 30 second exposure with a ND filter on and saturated those colors in. It was cold, but worth it. I will go back in the upcoming month to get a photo with a lot of snow and hopefully a bright open sky.
Please take a look at my photostream for all my Lake Moraine photos.
Any comments would be welcome.
Thanks,
Darryl
A red Abutilon, aka Chinese lantern, was missing in our garden. A friend did some propagation in our absence and... voila :) !

Gangi is a village perched on Monte Barone, a mountain covered in houses with Etna in the background, 120 km from Palermo.
This small village stands at a thousand meters above sea level, surrounded by churches and noble palaces.
In addition to the enchanting landscapes and being enveloped in a unique atmosphere, the medieval village of Gangi also offers an enviable artistic, historical and cultural heritage.
It was proclaimed Borgo dei Borghi in 2014 and named "Jewel of Italy", the only municipality in Sicily that has had these privileges.
For lovers of nature, trekking and walking, in Gangi it is also possible to organize this type of excursions, in the spectacular scenery of the paths of the Madonie Natural Park, suspended between the sea and the mountains.

An addition for my prairie insects collection. This juvenile dragonfly has wings like the male and an abdomen like the female. I didn't realize it was a juvie when I shot it - I was just trying to catch the sparkles on the wings.....
Over the years I have planted many perennial flowers. My plan was to have an abundance of sedums, ground covers, bulbs and flowers so the weeds would eventually give up in their attempt to take over. With the addition of butterfly friendly native species, I'm smiling in anticipation of new sights. Have a glorious day and don't forget to admire the plant life in your world. ;)
Drama in the studio, lol
Poppies are flowering plants with delicate, papery petals in a variety of shapes and vibrant hues.
There are more than 70 distinct species in the poppy (papaver) genus, including opium poppies (Papaver somniferum), corn poppies (Papaver rhoeas) and Oriental poppies (Papaver orientale).
Poppies are an excellent addition to mixed beds, borders and cut arrangements.
Thank you, M, (*_*)

Le Tornado est la pièce maîtresse spectaculaire du Fenix. Composée d'acier inoxydable et dotée de deux escaliers en bois majestueux, elle est la dernière-née des constructions architecturales de Rotterdam. Conçue par Ma Yansong du cabinet chinois MAD Architects, la Tornado est à la fois une œuvre d'art et une plateforme panoramique. Située au cœur du musée, elle relie le rez-de-chaussée, le premier étage et le belvédère sur le toit. Au-delà de sa fonction pratique, les escaliers symbolisent le thème central du Fenix : la migration.
The Tornado is the spectacular centerpiece of the Fenix. Made of stainless steel and featuring two majestic wooden staircases, it is the latest architectural addition to Rotterdam. Designed by Ma Yansong of the Chinese firm MAD Architects, the Tornado is both a work of art and a panoramic platform. Located in the heart of the museum, it connects the ground floor, the first floor, and the rooftop observation deck. Beyond its practical function, the staircases symbolize the central theme of the Fenix: migration.

CSXT L004 (old B724) has been on duty more than four hours and is just now starting north. They are technically still inside the Framingham Yard limits as they trundle northbound on the Fitchburg Branch at about MP QBU35.6. The entirety of the branch is designated as Other Than Main Track with this local operating at Restricted Speed but not exceeding 10 MPH the whole way making for an agonizingly long round trip. The two GP40-2s are snaking through the weedy trackage on the causeway over the Foss Reservoir/Sudbury River with a big train of nearly 30 cars.
This trackage dates from 1855 when the Agricultural Branch Railroad opened between Framingham and Northborough. In July 1866, the railroad opened a 14-mile extension to a connection with the Fitchburg and Worcester Railroad at Pratts Junction in Sterling. The next dozen years were rather convoluted as many small independent lines began to congeal into larger systems and by 1879 the route was part of the Old Colony Railroad, then ultimately the New York, New Haven, & Hartford in 1893.
This line, like its sister route to Lowell was one of only three incursions of the NH north of the defacto "Mason Dixon Line" of New England Railroading into Boston and Maine territory. For virtually a century, with few exceptions, the NH ruled CT and RI and everything in MA south of New York Central's Boston & Albany subsidiary that ran in a virtual straight line between its namesake cities bifurcating New England.
Today this 30 mile route meandering northwest is the last CSXT owned branchline in Massachusetts, with all the rest of any length that they still operate having been sold to MassDOT. The branch seems to have a solid future thanks to the addition of a busy new demolition debris customer near the end of the line in Leominster supplementing stalwarts like Ken's Foods, Nucor, and Bestway Lumber.

Reuploading this one from 2015 in light of the 25th Anniversary of BNSF.
One year after BNSF's formation, and after several experiments and proposals, Burlington Northern Santa Fe debuted its first official paint scheme, dubbed Heritage I. To my mind at least, it was a perfect stylistic blend of predecessors Santa Fe-- featuring a modification of their famous circle-and-cross logo in addition to the use of Cooper Black, the railroad's standard typeface in its latter years-- and Burlington Northern, (though showing heavy preference for Great Northern!) with forest green and orange coloring. It's hands-down my personal favorite livery ever used by the railroad (and possibly my favorite of any modern-era railroad, for that matter) so I find it quite a shame that it seems to be disappearing so quickly.
Even five years ago, when C44-9W 1068 was tracing the Mississippi River with a Northtown (Minneapolis) bound manifest north of Savanna, Illinois, the disappearing paint scheme warranted some pixels for sure.
Not much to be said here. It's a beautiful stencil of a rabbit. But if you enlarge this photo I warn you there is an unauthorised addition.
Both of Southern roots, a pair of Reading and Northern's GP38-2s sport different cabs in their fresh paint. 2013, their most recent active addition, idles at Port Clinton while 2011 works the YJPN job.

In addition to the Yellow-rumped Warblers, we saw a lot of Cedar Waxwings eating the Cedar berries. In fact that is where part of their name comes from. From allaboutbirds.org: "The birds’ name derives from their appetite for cedar berries in winter." The bird pictured here is an immature bird as evident by the prominent streaking on the breast and faint looking black mask as compared to an adult. Anoka County, MN 10/04/20

All the photos I present were taken on the beaches of Taormina and its surroundings (Sicily-Italy); I made photos related to "beach photography" (a genre similar to "street photography");
... I photographed young and old people ... with a great desire for the sea and a great desire to dive into the sea to swim (even if the sea water is still a little cold now ...); I made some photo-portraits of people I didn't know, I thank them very much for their sympathy and their availability; I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking along the beaches ... in search of fleeting moments ...
I used a particular photographic technique for some photographs at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production
----------------------------------------------------
Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate sulle spiagge di Taormina e dintorni (Sicilia-Italia); ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “beach photography” (un genere affine alla “street photography”);
ho fotografato persone giovani e meno giovani…con tanta voglia di mare e tanta voglia di immergersi in mare per fare qualche nuotata (anche se l’acqua del mare adesso è ancora un po’ fredda…); ho realizzato dei foto-ritratti di persone che non conoscevo, le ringrazio veramente tanto per la loro simpatia e la loro disponibilità; ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per sulle spiagge... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.---------------------------------------------------------
Doddinghurst, Essex – All Saints
These are more examples of Essex Churches that show the Architecture, the Interiors, the Exteriors and especially the Stained Glass Windows that I have taken over the last two to three years. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did visiting them.
Doddinghurst is a village about 3.8 miles outside Brentwood in Essex and the Church is situated in Church Lane.
The church was built in the 13th century with additions in the 14th (the timber-framed belfrey) and 16th centuries(the timber framed porch to the south door). A large part of the interior of the church was restored in 1887 as was the exterior. Here the walls were either rebuilt or refaced.
One of the bells in the tower was cast by Robert Mot who also made one for the ‘Mayflower’, the lead ship of the ‘Pilgim Fathers’.
The Bell Tower itself was in poor condition, so in 2001 restoration took place allowing the Belles to be rung again.
There are some fine examples of Victorian stained glass throughout the church, a nice church to visit.
Europe, Scandinavia, Norge, Oslo, Holmenkollen ski jump stadium (slightly cut from R & T)
The graphic goodness of the Holmenkollen ski jump stadium: here .
Holmenkollbakken is a large ski jumping hill at Holmenkollen in Oslo, Norway. It has a hill size of HS134, a construction point of K-120, and a capacity for 70,000 spectators. Holmenkollen has hosted the Holmenkollen Ski Festival since 1892, which since 1980 has been part of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup and 1983 the FIS Nordic Combined World Cup. It has also hosted the 1952 Winter Olympics and the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in 1930, 1966, 1982 and 2011.
The hill has been rebuilt 19 times; important upgrades include a stone take-off in 1910, an in-run superstructure in 1914, and a new superstructure in 1928. The venue was used as a military installation during the Second World War but was upgraded in the late 1940s. Further expansions were made ahead of the 1966 and 1982 World Championships and in 1991. Between 2008 and 2010, the entire structure was demolished and rebuilt. Robert Johansson holds the hill record at 144.0 meters. The hill is part of Holmenkollen National Arena, which, in addition to cross-country and biathlon venues, has the normal hill Midtstubakken. (WikI)
In 2011, the stadium was renovated.
The top part of the stadium is shown here.

Brrrr it's cold out there. Dress warmly.
Mount Vernon, George Washington's home, is built of wood, but the siding looks like as if it is made of stone by rustication, a false appearance of stone.
Detail of the rusticated side of the Mount Vernon mansion. In the 1st and 3rd rows, near the simulated block line, meeting of two wooden boards shows. In the area where painting is off, the original wooden board is shown underneath.
The yellow pine siding boards were cut at regular intervals and beveled to resemble stone blocks. After paint was applied to the board, sand was thrown onto their wet surface so create a stone-like texture. In addition to making the Mansion appear more substantial and expensive, the sand-painted surface protected the wood siding boards.
In addition to memorable sunrises at Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, the moments as the sun sets are also quite amazing. Just after the sun has dropped below the horizon the soft light illuminates the West and East Mitten Buttes and also Merrick Butte.

Today has been lovely! At first, I was kind feeling down about myself for no reason. But then my family & I went to a local animal shelter to pick out a new critter to come home with us. So hopefully by next week a new addition will be made to my family. :) I went driving too a lot...was interesting.

Land is in short supply in Hong Kong, and land reclamation has been conducted there since the mid-19th century.
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Hong Kong International Airport, and its predecessor, Kai Tak Airport, were all built on reclaimed land.
In addition, as the city expands, new towns in different decades were mostly built on reclaimed land, such as Tuen Mun, Tai Po, Shatin, Ma On Shan, West Kowloon, Kwun Tong and Tseung Kwan O.
Much reclamation has taken place in prime locations on the waterfront on both sides of Victoria Harbour. This has raised environmental issues of the protection of the harbour which was once the source of prosperity of Hong Kong, traffic congestion in the Central district.
香港主要依賴填海來擴展土地。香港山多平地少，逼使香港政府以移山填海方式擴展土地。截至2002年，香港的填海土地已超過67平方公里，佔香港總面積超過6.5%。而填海範圍一般會在維多利亞港之內，但亦有不少填海工程於香港其他海域進行。
現時香港有3個填海工程進行中或暫停檢討中，包括中環及灣仔填海計劃、竹篙灣填海工程等。香港一百多年來的填海工程，深深影響著香港的發展。填海使一些島嶼連接陸地，亦使一些海灣的面積縮少甚至消失。

Alder (Alnus glutinosa) catkins, male and female.
Processing: for this image I didn't use DxO PureRAW because of the pink cast it introduces to specular highlights. As a general rule it seems best to avoid DxO in any image with rain drops catching the light. Apart from that, this is basically standard LAB (see About), with the addition of a live Denoise filter on the Background layer applied to the A and B opponents only. Parameters Luminance 20%, Luminance Detail 50% and Luminance Contribution 100%.
In the Curves layer the A and B opponents are separated (though still pinned at the origin); A opponent steepened in the lower left quadrant and B opponent steepened in the upper right quadrant to emphasize the red stamens and yellow pollen (respectively) in the male catkins. This adjustment also deepens the attractive chocolate brown of the buds.
