How cool it was to be together with friends shooting at locations personally never seen before. Well, honestly this spot here in the image is very iconic and so many times showed in so many different social media platforms. But I never was here at his area and therefore, despite all the images around the world from this place, I present this one here! It’s my humble image and my own vision from this place. The weather forecast predicted a lot of rain for this day and so it was! We were standing in front of this magical tree and the morning was only gray but with some breaks in the clouds to let pass a bit of light and converting the atmosphere into a magical drama. I decided to make a long exposure for this rainy and gray spot. I combined a polarizer with an ND-Filter (normally I never do that as I think more than one glass on the top of the lens is decreasing the quality of the image, but this is only my opinion). And this here is the result as you can see and I hope you like it.

This was taken the beginning of July at the Riverside International Friendship Gardens, located in La Crosse, Wisconsin. We were getting ready to board the La Crosse Queen Cruise, a paddleboat that goes down the Mississippi River, and we decided to enjoy a bit of their gardens nearby while we waited. These daylilies were just gorgeous, so big and bright! Hope y'all enjoy!

“The beginning is the most important part of the work.”
Quote – Plato
Coming weeks I am in the middle of a renovation of the house again. That means a lot of noise and many workmen on the floor, who want coffee at set times. And bothering you all the time with questions about one thing or another.
That's why I decided not to fold the dragons for a while and instead fold some modular models. These consist of simple units, so you can easily stop and then continue.
Here you can see three intermediate stages to give an impression of 'having to stop while I'm folding'.
A friend of mine just got a new job and she said she would like to take care of the end results. They get a nice spot on the windowsill. So all in all, three birds with one stone.
Have a nice and inspiring new week ahead.
Every new beginning comes
from some other beginning's end

Cool pastel tones over still water with the tufa formations reflecting in the lake. Wouldn't it be great if moments like this would last forever? ... but then I suppose we would be stuck in time. Mono Lake, California, USA, December 2024

Beginning the growing season again.
I was attracted to this by the lines, the dips in the landscape and the cloud shadows.
The church visible above the tree line is St. Nicholas, North Walsham.
The community garden on my walking route is refusing to completely give in to late fall / winter just yet.
“The conceptual boundaries of what it means to be human or what we human beings mean by nature have never been less secure.”15 Emerging from and integrated into a chaotic world rather than a position of mastery and control removed from it, “the cyborg has the potential not only to disrupt persistent dualisms (body and soul; matter and spirit) but also to refashion our thinking about the theoretical understanding of the body as a material entity and a discursive process.”
-Anne Kull, “Cyborg Embodiment and Incarnation,” Currents in Theology and Mission 28, nos. 3–4 (2001): 282.
A Song:

The Lyrics:
n the beginning God made the land
Then He made the water and creatures, then He made man
He was born with a passion, love and hate
A restless spirit with a need for a mate
But there was something that was missing, something lost
So he came with the answer, here's what it cost
One part love, one part wild
One part lady, one part child
I give you
Women, women, lots of pretty women
Men, men, they can't live without them
Women, women, lots of pretty women
Men, men, they can't live without them
And in the garden, lust began
The animal instinct, the wanton man
She fed him with a hunger, an appetite
And fillin' with emotion he took a bite
It was one part love, one part child
One part lover, one part wild
I give you
Women, women, lots of pretty women
Men, men, they can't live without them
Women, women, lots of pretty women
Men, men, they can't live without them
Skin on skin, let the love begin
Women
It was one part love, one part wild
One part lover, one part child
A whole lotta fire, a little bit of ice
A whole lotta something you can't sacrifice
I give you
Hair, eyes, skin on skin
Legs, thighs
What's that spell
Women, women, oh, oh
Women, women, callin' every girl
Women, women, all around the world
Women, women, oh we can't live without them
Women, women

Taken for the theme of "Intimate Landscapes", a small part of an image to fit into a small part of a landscape, a difficult genre to define.
