More and more wanted in our fragile Ecosystem.

Dear friends,
unfortunately, I didn't have much time for Flickr lately.
...My thoughts and wishes go to the people in regions hit by a horrible heatwave lately ( North America) and the regions in my country (North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate),
parts of Benelux Union, Denmark and Austria ,
hit by a devastating flood disaster some days ago..Fingers crossed.
From tomorrow on, I will be away now for about 10 days.
Many thanks for your kind visits and comments.
Looking forward to watch your lovely images after may return.
Wishing you a safe and happy weekend.

Ein Traum von einer Wildblumenwiese
Mehr und mehr gewünscht und praktiziert für unser fragiles Ökosystem.
Liebe Flickr Freunde,
Meine Gedanken und mein Mitgefühl gehen zu den Menschen ,
die kürzlich von einer extremen Hitzewelle (Nordamerika) heimgesucht wurden und den Opfern und ihren Angehörigen in den Gegenden von Deutschland (Nordrhein-Westfalen und Rheinland-Pfalz), Teilen der Benelux-Staaten und Österreich, die von einer fürchterlichen Flutkatastrophe überrascht wurden. Viele stehen schlichtweg vor dem Nichts...
Leider hatte ich kürzlich wenig Zeit für Flickr und werde nun ab heute für ca. 10 Tage abwesend sein.
Ich freue mich auf Eure neuen Bilder nach meiner Rückkehr.
Danke für Euern Besuch und Eure Kommentare.
Auf bald.

Herons are shy creatures, but sometimes you are at the place, and then they arrive.
This time I was sitting in my car and the heron came closer and closer. So he allowed me to look for ca. 10 minutes while he was feeding on very small fish.

Der Chiemsee entstand wie viele andere Voralpenseen am Ende der letzten Eiszeit vor ca. 10.000 Jahren als Ausschürfung eines Gletschers (Zungenbeckensee). Ursprünglich bedeckte der See eine Fläche von fast 240 km², also etwa das Dreifache der heutigen Wasserfläche. Innerhalb von 100 Jahren verringerte sich die Wasserfläche um ca. 200 ha. Vor 1904 wurde der Wasserspiegel um etwa einen Meter abgesenkt. Dadurch wurden große Flächen trockengelegt.

Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.The lake's southern tip is 20 km upstream from The Pitt River confluence with the Fraser River and is 40 km east of Downtown Vancouver.
Pitt Lake is in a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The overdeepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140 m below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120 to 140m above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west, this fjord basin became partly cut off from tidal waters by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River ca 10,500 years ago, and Pitt Lake is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.
Communities
The community of Pitt Meadows and the First Nations reserve of Pitt Lake Indian Reserve 5 are located at the southern end of the lake. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees.

begegnen uns bei unserer Wanderung am Morgen in der Wüste Wadi Rum in Jordanien. Rötliches Gestein in den verschiedensten Farbschattierungen zeigen die Vielfältigkeit der Natur.
Wir sind ca 10 km durch den Sand gelaufen und im Laufe des Vormittags wurde es dann doch ganz schön warm. Dennoch war es ein besonderes Erlebnis.

At the time I was calling the new month "Photoctober" because I felt good about this sudden and wonderful storm we had at the beginning of the month.
Sadly, these "La Nina" conditions seem to be stalling the storms and this was the last really good rainfall to drench the southland. (Wasn't raining on the beach when I took this photo but it was both to the NW and SE)
Wenn man dsas Pietzmoor verlässt, geht es über eine große Wiesenfläche. Insgesamt war ich am Sonntag ca. 3 Stunden dort, von ca. 7 Uhr bis ca. 10 Uhr. Mein Tipp: man sollte bereits deutlich (>1 Std) vor dem offiziellen Sonnenaufgang dort sein, bei Vollmond waren die Stege gut zu sehen, aber glitschig. Entlohnt wird man aber mit einer Menge schöner Fotos.

Nichts von alledem. Nur einen Katzensprung von Halle entfernt findet man den kleinen Ort Teutschenthal. Mein Bild zeigt die dortige Kalihalde Krügershall.
Kaliwerk Krügershall Teutschenthal
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliwerk_Kr%C3%BCgershall_Teutschen...
Das ehemalige Kaliwerk Krügershall, heute GTS Grube Teutschenthal (Grube Teutschenthal Sicherungs-GmbH)[1], liegt unmittelbar nördlich des Bahnhofs Teutschenthal. Das Grubenfeld erstreckt sich bogensegmentförmig ca. 6,5 km lang in nordwestlich-südöstlicher Richtung. Die Schachtanlage ist seit 1925 im Niveau der 713-m-Sohle durchschlägig mit dem nördlich von ihr gelegenen Grubenfeld des Kaliwerkes Gewerkschaft Salzmünde und dem sich östlich angrenzenden Grubenfeld Angersdorf (früher waren es zwei selbstständige Kaliwerke: Gewerkschaft Salzmünde sowie Hallesche Kaliwerke A.-G.) verbunden. Der Einwirkungsbereich der miteinander verbundenen Grubenfelder auf die Erdoberfläche beträgt bei einem angenommenen Grenzwinkel von 55° ca. 10 × 2,5 km und reicht vom Westrand der Ortslage Angersdorf bis zum Südrand von Langenbogen einschließlich der Gemeinden Langenbogen und Teutschenthal.
Die Firmennamen änderten sich oft. So hieß das Werk anfangs Kaliwerk Krügershall AG. Ab 1929 Burbach-Kaliwerke A.G., Magdeburg, Werk Krügershall, Bhf. Teutschenthal. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Werk gemäß Befehl Nr. 124 der Sowjetischen Militäradministration in Deutschland ein SAG-Betrieb (Werk Krügershall). Ab 1952 dann VEB Kali- und Steinsalzbetrieb Deutschland (zugehörig der Hauptverwaltung „Kali“ beim Ministerium für Berg- und Hüttenwesen). Schließlich 1970 VEB Kombinat Kali, VEB Kali- und Steinsalzbetrieb „Saale“, Werk Teutschenthal und ab 1988 VEB Kalibetrieb „Ernst Schneller“ Zielitz, Werk Teutschenthal. Ab 1. Juni 1990 wurde die Treuhandanstalt Berlin alleiniger Gesellschafter der KALIMAG GmbH, Bahnhof Teutschenthal, Straße der Einheit 8.
Mit dem Wirken dieser Gesellschaft bis zum 11. Mai 1992 endeten die bergbaulichen Arbeiten auf Krügershall/Teutschenthal. Seit 12. Mai 1992 erfolgen Versatzarbeiten der Gesellschaft GTS Grube Teutschenthal Sicherungs-GmbH

On the following day I decided to skip Sintra and its architecture photos and went to Magoito beach some 15 Km (ca. 10 miles) out of Sintra. I've been living in hinterland Covilhã for over ten years now, and and I was longing for a good look at the sea.
In fact, in my early days, I spent a few summer holidays in Magoito, for my then father-in-law had a summer house there, and It all felt a bit like going down memory lane. It feels curious how can the beach look the same when I am 50 years older. Something just doesn't add up.
To access the beach you have to go down a very long stairway. I find the view from above a treat.

ein Gebäude, das ich seit ca. 10 Jahren fotografiere ...
und zum ersten Mal erlebte, ohne eine Wasserfüllung im Becken.
Das Wasser war sicher aus Sanierungsgründen abgelassen worden.
So konnte ich in die Beckenmitte gehen, bis zu einer kleinen Regenpfütze, die sich gebildet hatte.
Dort nahm ich einen tiefen Standpunkt ein um die Teilspiegelung des Gebäudes auf der Wasseroberfläche in mein Bild aufzunehmen.
Ich hatte damit die garantiert richtigen Spiegelungsproportionen des bildwichtigsten Bereiches, eines Teiles des Gebäudes.
Den Rest habe ich dazu gemalt und kann sicher sein, dass so schnell ein ähnliches Bild nie wieder entstehen kann.
Durch das Sichtfenster in der Betonwand, im inneren des Gebäudes, beobachtet das Kassenpersonal den Eingangsbereich und stürmt bei gestiefelten Regelüberschreitern direkt nach draußen ;-) ...

Pismo Beach, CA

The Chapman Estate is a Tudor Style mansion and gardens situated on 11 lots on the cliffs of Pismo Beach. It was built in 1930 by Arthur and Celia Rogers.
From "About Pismo Beach" : "(It) has been an integral part of the Shell Beach community since Clifford Chapman purchased the property in 1962. He and Don Shidler, Chapman’s partner of almost 50 years, collected art and treasures from around the world that are now displayed in the house and on the grounds. They hosted numerous parties and opened the Estate for non-profit events year-round."
It's only open sporadically and was closed Sunday morning 10/16 when I stopped by. I took some shots over the fence, but got this sweeping view with my drone.
The property has a pagoda with a koi pond, a windmill, AND a lighthouse!
Der Fünffingerfelsen ist eine bizarre Sandsteinformation in den Klusbergen bei Halberstadt. Er besteht aus fünf ca. 10 Meter hohen Steinsäulen, von welchen vier eng beieinander stehen und eine im Abstand von rund 10 Meter von diesen. Diese Säulen gleichen aus der Entfernung den fünf Fingern einer Hand, welche sich aus dem Gipfel eines kleineren, ebenfalls aus Sandstein bestehenden Berges dem Himmel entgegen strecken.
The Fünffingerfelsen is a bizarre sandstone formation in the Klusberge near Halberstadt. It consists of five stone pillars about 10 meters high, four of which are close together and one about 10 meters apart. From a distance, these pillars resemble the five fingers of a hand stretching towards the sky from the top of a smaller mountain, also made of sandstone.

Das traditionelle Domfeuerwerk findet normalerweise jeden Freitag während der Domzeit um etwa 22:30 Uhr statt und dauert ca. 10 Min. Ich habe mir das Spektakel gegenüber von den St. Pauli Landungsbrücken am Ausgang des Alten Elbtunnels angesehen.
The traditional cathedral fireworks usually take place every Friday during cathedral time at around 10:30 p.m. and last about 10 minutes. I watched the spectacle opposite the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken at the exit of the Old Elbe Tunnel.
Die Geschichte des Hüttenstandortes PHOENIX reicht bis in die Mitte des 19ten Jahrhunderts zurück. Bereits 1841 wurde die Hermannshütte von dem Iserlohner Hermann Dietrich Piepenstock auf dem Gelände des zukünftigen PHOENIX Sees gegründet. Etwa zehn Jahre später entstand auf PHOENIX West das Hochofenwerk. Die folgenden ca. 150 Jahre sind geprägt von Um- und Ausbauten sowie zahlreichen Eigentumsveränderungen.
1843 wurde auf der Hermannshütte die Produktion von Stahl aufgenommen. Der bis dahin ländlich geprägte Raum um den Stadtkern von Hörde entwickelte sich in den folgenden Jahrzehnten zu einem Industriestandort, der schnell für seine Stahlprodukte mit hoher Qualität bekannt wurde. Ab 1852 begann der Bau der Hochofenanlage, so dass ab diesem Zeitpunkt auf PHOENIX West auch Roheisen hergestellt werden konnte, das vorher aus Belgien importiert wurde. Schon 1864 ging der sechste Hochofen in Betrieb.
In der Folgezeit verbesserten neue Verfahren kontinuierlich Qualität und Quantität der Produktion. Die häufig wechselnde Eigentümersituation hatte Umstrukturierungsprozesse und steigende Investitionen zur Folge. Zudem wurde innerhalb Dortmunds und auch im gesamten Ruhrgebiet immer enger zusammen gearbeitet.
Nach der Zerstörung im 2. Weltkrieg beschlagnahmte die Britische Militärregierung die Dortmunder Hüttenwerke und ordnete die Demontage an. Mit der Unterstützung der Alliierten wurde anschließend mit modernster Technik das Werk wieder aufgebaut und die Produktion ausgeweitet.
Nach dem Bau des damals modernsten Oxygen-Stahlwerks des Kontinents (1963) übernahm die Hoesch AG 1966 die Hüttenunion auf PHOENIX. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt arbeiteten ca. 10.000 Menschen auf dem Areal. 1997 existierte durch die Übernahme der HOESCH AG durch den Krupp-Konzern (1992) sowie die Fusion von Thyssen und Krupp zur ThyssenKrupp AG nur noch ein Stahlkonzern im Ruhrgebiet. Hiermit war das Ende der Stahlproduktion in Dortmund eingeläutet. Die ThyssenKrupp AG entschied sich zwischen den beiden Stahlstandorten Duisburg und Dortmund für Duisburg am Rhein. 1998 wurden die Hochöfen (PHOENIX West) und 2001 die Hermannshütte stillgelegt.

Das Video zuvor (MVI_Biber) war ca 10 min vorher aufgenonnen.
The video before (MVI_Biber) was recorded about 10 minutes beforehand.
Das Rathaus in Weilheim Teck wurde vor ca. 10 bis 15 Jahren erweitert und umgebaut. Auf der Seite, die hier zu sehen ist, wurde nur der Eingangsbereich kindgerecht bzw. barrierefrei gestaltet. Als Kind musste ich einmal im Jahr eine Dauerkarte fürs Freibad kaufen. In meiner Erinnerung ist die schwere Holztür nur mit viel Kraftaufwand zu öffnen gewesen. ;-)
Im hinteren Bereich sieht man den modernen Anbau.
Danach hatten wir genügend Zeit, um gemütlich an die «Klassikerstelle» der Linie zu fahren. Nachdem der Zug bei Ourique wieder unter Fahrdraht fährt, gibt es zwei Viadukte. Das eine kann man auch mit der Kamera gut machen, während das andere nur, was für die Drohne ist. Nach einem Besuch im Supermarkt von Ourique, der Bahnhof liegt ca. 10 km ausserhalb der Stadt, fuhren wir zum Viadukt und stellten dort das Auto hin. Ja dreckig ists geworden.
