As I began the descent from Michael's Mount (Michaelsberg), just a short distance from my previous posting, this was the view across the valley to the next hill beyond. The four spires in the background are part of the Bamberg Cathedral up on Cathedral Hill (Domberg) above the city center in the Regnitz River valley. The buildings here are mostly ecclesiastical. There is a fairly steep climb down from here, part of it on winding stone stairs. [DSC01561_lr_2000]
Thank you all for the clicks, comments & faves.
As I am stuck at home not able to take photos for a few weeks (recovering from tennis elbow surgery) I am finally able to catch up on some old photos.
This one was taken exactly this time last year on a lake NW of Calgary, Canada.
One interesting fact I found on these birds is The Red-necked grebe consumes many of its own feathers. The stomach of this bird retains two balls or masses of feathers, however, the reason for this is unknown. Some believe that these feathers protect the lower digestive tract from hard, indigestible materials like bones, and these feathers are also fed to the young ones.

As nightfall arrives and the moon rises obscured by clouds, many a ship has crashed on these rocky shores. The lighthouse being dark just makes it more dangerous. May a ships course be true so that both ship and its crew make it safely into port.
As a car enthusiast I do like it when I see a shiny bodywork on a classic car. That means, well kept, well maintained and it usually shows that the owner actually likes what he's doing. However, some times, the old timers need to be seen with the touch of time on them. I found this old truck parked on the yard of a winery at the Finger Lakes in NY. It quickly drew my attention, sitting there like an old rusty fella having proudly served its cause by hauling loads of grapes and crates of good wines.
This is my leather ‘belt for life’. Pretty sure I bought it from either Rhodes or Crete around 30 years ago and I’ve barely worn another since. At macro level it looks like it’s ready for the bin but as the title suggests it’s got a few more years in it yet!

Segundona..volto já já....Ahhhh, aproveita que vc entrou e deixa um comentário vai..minha página está tão pobrezinha (ói que pidão)
As a public service, the weather tonight is " not fit for man nor beast"
Out in it
City street:
a slick mash
of ice and sleet
falling, cars
geared down,
store canopies
sagging and
a wind that
seems phlegmatic
suffers through
the night, roofs
glazed, the cold
numbing to those
out in it, man and
dog, patrol officer,
an insomniac who
seeks the silence
of God but hears
a distant siren
wailing her name;
what falls might
be the dust of stars,
chips of light,
crystals swirling
piecemeal
in a brain-
storm I might
only have
imagined
--Miguel de O
... as the sultry summer's day, slips into the evening twilight, a storm rolls over the horizon, illuminated with the sunset's light ...
freshly calved iceberg on Lago Grey - Patagonia, Chile, his lifespan is short...as ours.
Thank you for your comments!
As I was looking for bush tits in the brush, I saw movement next to the yellow flowers, and spotted this female Anna's hummingbird working her way through the flowers.
We awoke to a little snow last Friday. I made a quick visit to some of the local spots before work and I was rewarded with a few nice images. I arrived at the Sheebeen at 8.02am and the Guinness truck was just pulling out after another delivery of the creamy stuff :-) I didn't get time to compose this as I literrally hopped out of the car and started snapping. Needless to say all thats left are the photos as the heavy rain over he weekend washed the little snow away.
Cache la Poudre River
The river's name means "Hiding Place of Powder." According to legend, French fur trappers in the 1820's were caught by a tremendous snowstorm. To lighten their load, they buried large amounts of gunpowder (poudre) in a hiding place (cache) near the mouth of the river along the banks of the river. The river is affectionately known as "the Poudre" by local residents and long-time visitors to the area.
As Neowise started to head for the horizon at about midnight, The Big Dipper took over in the dark sky above. This was taken with the Pitstone Windmill in Buckinghamshire, England in the foreground. The mill is owned by The National Trust and dates back to the 17th century. This gem in the Chiltern countryside is the oldest dated windmill in Britain.
As a German, I'm not used to such memorials for the victorious soldiers of wars past. Obviously, the Brits have another history.

I loved to walk on along the boardwalk on St Marks basin to watch the light change in the dawn of morning. It was so calm and romantic. The gondolas were always bobbing in the water, faithfully waiting for the day to break and for people to hop on board.
As we explored around French Farm Lake near Mackinaw City, Michigan, the forest floor seemed alive with color. (OE)

Holdin' me back
Gravity's holdin' me back
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?
Nothin' to say
When everything gets in the way
Seems you cannot be replaced
And I'm the one who will stay, oh
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it's not the same
Blade Runner = "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long and you have burned so very brightly"
Quote by Dr Eldon Tyrell.
... as the suns light drops below the horizon, and the shadows begin to climb trees, night comes to the autumn fields, with more rain a possibility ...

As gaivotas, tantas, tantas,
As gaivotas, tantas, tantas,
Voam no rio pró mar...
Também sem querer encantas,
Nem é preciso voar.
(Fernando Pessoa)
As I wander through the woods, I often just stop and soak up the atmosphere, pointing the camera at trees of interest and letting the scenes speak for themselves. Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire.
This was a drive by shooting. We were driving back from Whistler, and there are such amazing views along the way, but hardly any viewpoints. And the best views are ones where you can't stop. I've tried shooting as a moving passenger many times, and most often, the images are just a blur. This one wasn't as blurry, so I'll take it....
50:52 - Sunset
As I said before no more belly flapping for me,
with the D750 having the flip screen all I do is lay the camera down and focus.
I rarely take photos of our Crocuses, we have them in different areas.
I decided to print and frame a few of my black and white shots and hang them in the hall of where we're currently living, and the tenant upstairs was fine with the idea. Sherrianne had asked about seeing the finished product when all were hung, so, this is it, my mini art exhibit, 3 on one wall, and 1 on the opposite wall :)
