... shimmering heat - and a 'sweeting' / burning tree (which also is the entrance to the underworld and the way to the Rain Maiden)
"Die Regentrude" [The Rain Maiden], a German tale by Theodor Storm (published in the year 1863):
Beneath a scorching sun the fields are parched, the crops withering, the trees burning and the animals dying. Somewhere under the earth the young goddess, the Rain Maiden, has fallen asleep, forgotten by the villagers who once paid annual homage to her in return for rain. But only she can defeat the Fire Goblin and release the clouds from their fortress prison to make it rain.
The rich meadow farmer, unaffected by such droughts, disbelieves such legends and hastily promises his elderly neighbour that his daughter, Maren, can marry her son, Andrew, if the Rain Maiden can make it rain within a day.
Responding to her father's promise, Maren sets off with Andrew to find the Rain Maiden on a journey that takes them down a hollowed tree into a strange underworld among arid landscapes of dried-up lakes, dry river beds, dying forests and withered gardens.

I love(d) this fairy tale, because (for me) it is telling a story of strong women ... : ))

... gleißende Hitze und ein "schwitzender" / brennender Baum, der zugleich auch den Eingang zur Unterwelt ist - der Weg zur Regentrude (im Märchen eine Weide)
"Die Regentrude" von Theodor Storm (veröffentlicht 1863):
Ein sengend heißer Sommer lässt die Menschen im Dorf fast verzweifeln. Die Ernte verdorrt, Gras und Bäume brennen und das Vieh verdurstet auf den Weiden.
Angesichts der drohenden Hungersnot erwacht bei vielen Dörflern der alte Glaube an die Regentrude, die für den Leben spenden Regen zuständig ist. Doch von Zeit zu Zeit schläft sie ein — besonders dann, wenn der Glaube an sie erlischt. Jemand muss die Regentrude aufwecken! Die rettende Tat kann nur von einem mutigen jungen Mädchen vollbracht werden, das den anstrengenden und gefährlichen Weg zur Regentrude auf sich nimmt, der in die Unterwelt führt. Der Eingang ist eine alte vertrocknete Weide.
Eine Geschichte vor allem über starke Frauen!

Happy Macro Monday everybody !!
Trioplans are too expensive for me. But my F-mount converted Helios 44-2 with 20mm extension tubes is at least close for the bubble bokeh :)
I will need more time to play around with this but it actually looks quite promising!

It seems that spring is just around the corner. We are expecting temperatures around 15°C this weekend.
So a good time to grab the tripod, macro rail and the trioplans do some macro.
This morning temperatures were as low as -1°C though.
I didn't pay much attention on Instagram as i'm focused on FB and here.
