The Hallertau or Holledau is an area in Bavaria, Germany. With an area of 178 km², it is listed as the largest continuous hop-planting area in the world According to the International Hop Growing Convention, Germany produces roughly one third of the world's hops (used as flavoring and stabilizers during beer brewing), over 80% of which are grown in the Hallertau.

During August 2015, the Victoria underground line was closed between Walthamstow Central and Seven Sisters stations, to allow upgrading work. A bus replacement route was in operation throughout the works.
A vast amount of concrete was required and convoys of trucks were escorted in to meet deadlines. This is one of the convoys in the queue to unload at Walthamstow.
I had an unplanned short stay in Gdańsk this week, and oh, how surprised I was when I had heard that this train would be running just at the time when I was there. Though this shot was supposed to be completely different...
BR232-693 and M62-1286 are starting after a short halt in Żukowo Wschodnie (1939-1945 Zuckau Ost). The train had to be stopped because of the way the traffic is organised here, and so I got to see the two Soviet beasts start the over 4000 tonne (!) heavy train from a standstill.
Now returning to the first paragraph - I had wanted to take a completely different picture at this station, but the local conditions didn't allow me to fulfill this plan, as the very nice frame with the entry mechanical signal to the station is completely ruined by... the construction of the new ring road of Żukowo Wschodnie. The consistently falling number of good photo spots on this very interesting railway line is not a new trend, as for the past ~15 years this line was continuously under very tiny modernisation efforts.
In the following days I will try to prepare a series of photographs from the railway line no. 201 to try to summarise the history and the near future of this stretch of track. I feel like it has a really interesting side to it, which might be a cool read for the ones of you who like to learn about the background of each picture. "Changes, Changes, Changes..." will be the main theme here.

With all the continuous rain we’ve been having this past two weeks a thistle blossomed in our backyard along with some other of it’s satellites. This photo was taken on our first sunny morning.

With the continuous corrosion by the wind and the rain as well as by other geological changes, these rocks took their present form through the passing of millions of years.
At the cavities, fissures and peaks of Meteora rocks, the people of that place found protection from the raids of several conquerors and of those who passed from the area.
Also, several bold hermits and anchorites found shelter at these rocks, seeking for mental calmness, tranquility and while praying they sought for Christian perfection.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

Chirk Castle, occupied virtually continuously as a castle and stately home for almost 700 years, sits on a hilltop with its best views over the Ceiriog valley to the south. The successor to two known mottes in the area, it was probably built by Roger Mortimer, of the powerful Marcher family, who was granted the area by Edward I after the Welsh defeat in 1282. He was almost certainly given royal assistance in its design and construction, and its similarities to Beaumaris suggest that work may have started as late as 1295, perhaps in response to the Welsh rising of 1294.
These two photos were taken successively in cameras "Continuous Mode: Hi+", which ist the fastest with 10 shots per second or so.
La Plaza de Santa Ana es una pequeña plaza anexa a la Plaza Nueva. Se encuentra al pie del barrio histórico del Almanzora en la ciudad española de Granada, comunidad autónoma de Andalucía, justo enfrente de la iglesia de San Gil y Santa Ana, al comienzo de la Carrera del Darro,
La plaza se redujo inicialmente al compás de la iglesia de San Gil y Santa Ana, que había sido erigida entre 1540 y 1560, en el emplazamiento de la antigua mezquita del barrio situada a los pies de la Alhambra, en la margen izquierda del río Darro. Junto a esta plazoleta de entrada al templo se encontraba el puente de los Barberos, que años más tarde sería conocido como el puente de Santa Ana. Esta estructura facilitaba la comunicación entre la margen derecha del río Darro y los barrios situados en su margen izquierda. En 1878, debido a las continuas inundaciones que sufría la ciudad, se acordó canalizar el río entre la Plaza Nueva y la Iglesia de San Gil y Santa Ana. Este proyecto determinaría la configuración actual de la plaza, pero supuso la demolición completa del antiguo viaducto.

The Plaza de Santa Ana is a small square attached to Plaza Nueva. It is located at the foot of the historic district of Almanzora in the Spanish city of Granada, autonomous community of Andalusia, just in front of the church of San Gil and Santa Ana, at the beginning of the Carrera del Darro,
The square was initially reduced to the iron-barred compass of the church of San Gil y Santa Ana, which had been erected between 1540 and 1560, on the site of the old mosque of the district located at the foot of the Alhambra on the left bank of the river Darro. Next to this small square at the entrance to the temple was the bridge of the Barbers, which years later would be known as the bridge of Santa Ana. This structure facilitated communication between the right bank of the River Darro and the neighbourhoods located on its left bank. In 1878, due to the continuous flooding that the city suffered, it was agreed to channel the river between Plaza Nueva and the Church of San Gil and Santa Ana. This project would determine the current configuration of the square, but involved the complete demolition of the old viaduct.
I was so fascinated with this rock pile on Tioga Pass (East of Yosemite NP) in the Eastern Sierra, I went back and photographed it some more the next day. Took the tripod this time.
I've long considered the Eastern Sierra my extended playground.
From Wikipedia: The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range in the Western United States, between the Central Valley of California and the Great Basin. The vast majority of the range lies in the state of California, although the Carson Range spur lies primarily in Nevada. The Sierra Nevada is part of the American Cordillera, an almost continuous chain of mountain ranges that forms the western "backbone" of the Americas.
Matera is a city and the capital of the Province of Matera in the region of Basilicata, in Southern Italy. With a history of continuous occupation dating back to the Palaeolithic, it is renowned for its rock-cut urban core, whose twin cliffside zones are known collectively as the Sassi.
Matera lies on the right bank of the Gravina river, whose canyon forms a geological boundary between the hill country of Basilicata (historic Lucania) to the south-west and the Murgia plateau of Apulia to the north-east. The city began as a complex of cave habitations excavated in the softer limestone on the gorge's western, Lucanian face. It took advantage of two streams which flow into the ravine from a spot near the Castello Tramontano, reducing the cliff's angle of drop and leaving a defensible narrow promontory in between. The central high ground, or acropolis, supporting the city's cathedral and administrative buildings, came to be known as Civita, and the settlement districts scaling down and burrowing into the sheer rock faces as the Sassi. Of the two streambeds, called the grabiglioni, the northern hosts Sasso Barisano and the southern Sasso Caveoso.
The Sassi consist of around twelve levels spanning the height of 380 m, connected by a network of paths, stairways, and courtyards. The medieval city clinging on to the edge of the canyon for its defence is invisible from the western approach. The tripartite urban structure of Civita and the two Sassi, relatively isolated from each other, survived until the 16th century, when the centre of public life moved outside the walls to the Piazza Sedile in the open plain (the Piano) to the west, followed by the shift of the elite residences to the Piano from the 17th century onwards. By the end of the 18th century, a physical class boundary separated the overcrowded Sassi of the peasants from the new spatial order of their social superiors in the Piano, and geographical elevation came to coincide with status more overtly than before, to the point where the two communities no longer interacted socially.
Yet it was only at the turn of the 20th century that the Sassi were declared unfit for modern habitation, and the government relocation of all their inhabitants to new housing in the Piano followed between 1952 and the 1970s. A new law in 1986 opened the path to restoration and reoccupation of the Sassi, this time – as noted by the architectural historian Anne Toxey – for the benefit of the wealthy middle class. The recognition of the Sassi, labelled la città sotterranea ("the underground city"), together with the rupestrian churches across the Gravina as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 1993 has assisted in attracting tourism and accelerated the reclaiming of the site. In 2019, Matera was declared a European Capital of Culture.
Hey ppl, couldn't able to upload any pics for past two weeks, a lil busy with continuous shoots, hope you're all doing good...
About this picture, hell yea, this one was very close to me, coz almost trekked nearly 6-8 kms to reached this gorgeous place in Kodaikanal, Tamilnadu...
With the continuous toing and froing of pebbles up and down the beach as the waves perpetually polish to an almost perfect shine, this stunning milky green pebble glistens in the morning sun.
Trains meeting on the former Virginian Guyandot River Branch are not very frequent occurrences these days. Nonetheless, they still do happen from time to time despite coals continuous slow and painful death in the area.
Access is limited in many parts of this scarcely trafficked and often seldom photographed piece of railroad. It's only connection to the mainline world at Wharncliff, WV - 54 miles away from the once booming coal terminus at Elmore.
One of the more easily accessible locations on the Guyandot Branch is at CP-MADA, in the small community of Wyoming WV. Access is conveniently provided by a former mining branch spur that has been reutilized as a walking bridge crossing over the Guyandotte River to the active NS main.
I started focusing heavily on this piece of railroad back in the summer of 2023 trying to document some of the more seldom seen NS operations within the state of West Virginia. It generally seemed that finding an empty train moving in daylight was often much more difficult than it was to see loads moving out of Elmore or from the few mines along the line.
Whether it be from Affinity mine off of the Winding Gulf Branch, Gary 50 on the Pinnacle Branch, even Coal Mountain over on the outrageously neat Cub Creek branch. A new player to the area is Consol Energy’s Itmann #5 mine on the mainline at Itmann. The mines are here but the volume of traffic is not. Not to forget loads coming in for Elmore from the multiple mines still loading on the now Watco leased and operated portion of the railroad down to Deepwater, onto the ex NYC trackage onwards eventually to Columbus, OH.
2 of the bigger mines in play on this portion of the NS side of operations are having a meet of empties and loads at CP-MADA. Empties for Affinity Mine on the Winding Gulf Branch running as NS 833 passes by on the main, while coal loads from Kepler hold the siding as an NS 834.
Coyotes are common in Winneshiek County, but seldom seen out in the open like this since there's a continuous open hunting season on them. They typically stick to heavy timber during the day, but then love can cause crazy behavior.
I recently bought myself a cheap fractal filter which conveniently has the same thread size as my Sony 24-105mm lens with it's long zoom range. Perfect for a spot of zoom pulling.
Zoom pulling is a technique where the lens is zoomed in or out during a long exposure and to be honest it can be quite addictive! I can be stood in the dark for hours zooming in and out and trying different effects.
I've also combined the following shots with my new RGB LED lights. Instead of using Godox AD200 strobes, I've started to experiment with continuous light sources.
I've hesitated till now to buy continuous lights because it wasn't possible without spending thousands to remotely trigger the lights. Shooting in often tricky terrain, having to move back and forth in the dark to switch lights on or off isn't the most convenient thing to do. Not to mention dangerous stumbling around in the dark trying to prevent stray lights hitting the sensor! I could replace the lens cap to prevent light from hitting the sensor but it's definitely more convenient to remote control the lights.
So last night, @fadetoblack and I ventured out in to the Derbyshire Peak District to see what we could get with the lights.
If the parents just kept quiet, these chicks would never be found. Their loud shrill peeping draws attention to the family and very soon after sitting still and observing, the chicks will make themselves known by running around. This family consisted of three chicks and two parents, continuously bellowing out their shrill cries to the babies to keep hidden. Eventually all were reunited under some green vegetation and I moved on after having snapped many photos of this delightful scene. Here are just a few.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also called the Holocaust Memoria, is an architectural gem located in Berlin, made up of 2711 concrete blocks of various heights, all placed near each other, creating numerous passageways where visitors can walk around and enter and exit the Memorial from anywhere.
The Information Center introduces its visitors to the National Socialism led by Adolf Hitler and the extermination policies carried out between 1933 and 1945.
Visitors can step into one of the most shocking rooms, an empty hall with its walls covered with the names and dates of birth and death of the Jews locked up in the concentration camps during the Second World War. Reading the names and biographies of the victims could last over 6 years.
I photographed this Whimbrel on a beach north of San Diego. Unlike La Jolla this beach had little bird life. Only a few gulls flying by and this lone Whimbrel which I thought might be a Curlew. I wanted to get in front of it for a better angle of light but the more I sped up the more it sped up so I just pressed down my rear focus button and captured what I could with ai-servo (continuous focus for a moving subject). I believe in exposing to the right as well as getting a low pov (point-of-view). However, when you are chasing down an opportune moment, there is no time for checking histograms or getting down on your belly. Besides I'm 6'6" and I took this uncropped photo standing upright. The pov looks fine to me! I also seldom use a tripod. I just keep my ISO at 400 or higher. The joy of taking pictures on a nature walk is somewhat defeated when you have to lug around camera bags and tripods. It starts to feel like golf as described by Mark Twain - "...a good walk spoiled."
The oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain. It stands over the place where Alban, the first martyr, was buried after giving his life for his faith over 1700 years ago.

Mid 1950's Simplex Automatic
Simplex was founded by Paul Treen (father of United States Congressman and Louisiana Governor David Conner Treen) in New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 1920s with an initial investment of $25.00 Treen had been a dealer in Harley-Davidson motorcycles and had pitched them the idea of making a lightweight motorcycle for young riders. When Harley-Davidson rejected the idea, Treen decided to enter the market himself and designed his Servi-Cycle. The Simplex Servi-Cycle was introduced in 1935.
Although Simplex Manufacturing Corporation produced motorcycles for over 20 years, the last Simplex Automatics looked almost the same as the company's original 1935 Simplex Servi-Cycle motorcycle. Paul Treen would often visit the factory's tool shop and work with the engineers on new ideas himself, resulting in continuous improvements to Simplex products instead of annual new model introductions.
The two-stroke engine had a rotary valve and an "overhung" crankshaft with only one main bearing. A kick-starter was added by 1953.
Western Auto sold Simplex motorcycles under the Wizard brand in the mid-1950s.
Simplex's minimalist philosophy was maintained throughout the company's history, whose designs changed little after 1935. By the 1950s Simplex's designs were primitive, leading to the end of Servi-Cycle and Automatic production in 1960. Simplex continued to make minibikes and karts using proprietary small engines until 1975, when Simplex went out of business. Treen had sold the company three years earlier, in 1972
