Description in English, German and Dutch
English:
During my walk from Murnau to Ohlstadt in Bavaria I walked along the Loisach river. The Loisach is a tributary of the Isar and the Isar is a tributary of the world famous Danube. Some parts of the river have a beautiful blue-green color. I decided to get off the trail to get a closer look at the river. When I got close to the current I was enchanted by the beauty of the water and the green surroundings. I was all alone, because the spot I had chosen is not known by tourists, but it is very beautiful. On the waterfront I decided to take some pictures first and then turn my phone off completely. No distraction for a while. With my pants pulled up I walked barefoot into the clear water and that was very cooling on this sun-drenched warm summer day. Staring at the impressive mountains of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, I then stood in the shallow part of the river and decided to close my eyes and think about nothing for a while. It was another special experience in beautiful Bavaria where I experienced a moment of satisfaction and ultimate peace in one of the most beautiful tributaries of the world. All my beautiful experiences of recent times have been made possible by the 9 euro ticket. Unfortunately, everything comes to an end and August 31 was the last day that the ticket could be used. I used it for three months. Only 27 euros for travelling in thee months. Sweet 9 euro ticket, it was an honor to carry you with me in the summer period. I miss you already, but the memories will last forever in the form of my photos. There will therefore be a lot of pictures here on Flickr of my adventures in Germany.
Deutsch:
Bei meiner Wanderung von Murnau nach Ohlstadt in Bayern bin ich an der Loisach entlang gelaufen. Die Loisach ist ein Nebenfluss der Isar und die Isar ist ein Nebenfluss der weltberühmten Donau. Einige Teile des Flusses haben eine schöne blaugrüne Farbe. Ich beschloss, den Weg zu verlassen, um mir den Fluss genauer anzusehen. Als ich mich der Strömung näherte, war ich von der Schönheit des Wassers und der grünen Umgebung verzaubert. Ich war ganz allein, denn der Ort, den ich mir ausgesucht hatte, ist bei Touristen nicht bekannt, aber sehr schön. An der Uferpromenade beschloss ich, erst ein paar Fotos zu machen und dann mein Handy komplett auszuschalten. Keine Ablenkung für eine Weile. Mit hochgezogener Hose ging ich barfuß ins klare Wasser und das war an diesem sonnendurchfluteten warmen Sommertag sehr erfrischend. Mit Blick auf die imposanten Berge von Garmisch-Partenkirchen stand ich dann im seichten Teil des Flusses und beschloss, die Augen zu schließen und eine Weile an nichts zu denken. Es war ein weiteres besonderes Erlebnis im schönen Bayern, wo ich einen Moment der Zufriedenheit und des ultimativen Friedens in einem der schönsten Nebenflüsse der Welt erlebte. All meine schönen Erlebnisse der letzten Zeit wurden durch das 9-Euro-Ticket ermöglicht. Leider geht alles zu Ende und der 31. August war der letzte Tag, an dem das Ticket verwendet werden konnte. Ich habe es drei Monate lang benutzt. Nut 27 euro! Süßes 9-Euro-Ticket, es war mir eine Ehre, dich 3 monaten mitzunehmen. Ich vermisse dich jetzt schon, aber die Erinnerungen werden in Form meiner Fotos für immer bleiben. Daher wird es hier auf Flickr viele Bilder von meinen Abenteuern in Deutschland geben.
Nederlands:
Tijdens mijn wandeling van Murnau naar Ohlstadt in Beieren liep ik langs de Loisach rivier. De Loisach is een zijrivier van de Isar en de Isar is dan weer een zijrivier van de wereldberoemde Donau. Sommige gedeelten van de rivier hebben een prachtige blauw-groene kleur. Ik besloot om van het pad af te gaan om de rivier van dichterbij te kunnen aanschouwen. Toen ik vlakbij de stroming aankwam werd ik betoverd door de schoonheid van het water en de groene omgeving. Ik was helemaal alleen, want het plekje wat ik had uitgekozen is niet bekend bij toeristen, maar wel erg mooi. Aan de waterkant besloot ik om eerst wat foto's te maken en daarna mijn telefoon helemaal uit te zetten. Even geen afleiding. Met mijn broek opgestroopt liep ik met blote voeten het heldere water in en dat was erg verkoelend op deze zonovergoten warme zomerdag. Starend naar de indrukwekkende bergen van Garmisch-Partenkirchen stond ik daarna in het ondiepe gedeelte van de rivier en besloot om vervolgens mijn ogen dicht te doen en even helemaal nergens aan te denken. Het was weer een bijzondere ervaring in het wonderschone Beieren waarbij ik een moment van voldoening en ultieme rust heb ervaren in een van de mooiste zijrivieren van de wereld. Al mijn mooie ervaringen van de afgelopen tijd zijn mede mogelijk gemaakt door het 9 euro ticket. Helaas komt aan alles een einde en was 31 augustus de laatste dag dat het ticket gebruikt kon worden. Drie maanden heb ik er gebruik van gemaakt. Lief 9 euro ticket, het was een eer om je 3 keer bij me te mogen dragen. Ik mis je nu al, maar de herinneringen blijven voor eeuwig bestaan in de vorm van mijn foto's. Er zullen daarom nog een hoop foto's hier op Flickr volgen van mijn avonturen in Duitsland.
Grey Wethers Stone Circles, Dartmoor, Devon, UK. Really is worth a visit, it's quite a walk from the nearest car park, but such an amazing location, only cattle, ponies, sheep and a lone kestrel hunting for what seems to be miles around. Handheld, Pentax K7 paired with the SMC Pentax DA 55-300mm ED lens, I realise this shot is not really in focus anywhere so is technically lacking but it's 'feel' overrides this for me....more like a painting than a photo....hope you agree. Grey Wethers Stone Circles consists of two stone circles next to each other.

Excerpt from uwaterloo.ca:
Description of the District
The Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District is bounded by Sydenham, Melville, Cross and Victoria Streets in the former Town of Dundas, now the City of Hamilton. The district consists of 49 properties. These properties are predominantly single family dwellings with the exception of three churches.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
According to the Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District Study - Background Report the cultural heritage value of the district lies in its historical and associative value, design or physical value as well as the contextual value. The Background Report concludes:
“The Cross-Melville area constitutes a superb collection of buildings with particularly fine architectural attributes. Tree planted along the streets enhance the surroundings of individual buildings and provide expansive canopies over adjacent streets. Developed in the 1840s and 1850s as the first exclusively residential area distinct from the commercial and industrial locales of Dundas, this neighbourhood is associated with numerous prominent citizens, mayors and councillors, including George Rolph, William Notman, Alexis Begue and the Grafton family”.

DESCRIPTION OF HISTORIC PLACE
Gairloch Gardens is located at 1306 Lakeshore Road on the south side of Lakeshore Road, along the shore of Lake Ontario in the Town of Oakville. The property consists of a three storey stone and stucco residence that was constructed from 1923 to 1924.
The property was designated by the Town of Oakville in 1986 for its heritage value under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 1986-192).
HERITAGE VALUE
Located at 1306 Lakeshore Road, Gairloch Gardens is a lake estate associated with two prominent Oakville locals. Colonel W.G. MacKendrick had the home built for his family in 1923. Upon his death, Toronto investment banker, James Gairdner, purchased the estate. Gairdner named the estate “Gairloch” after a small Scottish town. Upon Gairdner's death in 1972 the estate was bequeathed to the Town of Oakville for use as a park and gallery for contemporary artists.
Gairloch Gardens is a good example of Tudor style residence. Typical of this style is the stone and stucco exterior and steeply pitched roof. Continuing with this style are the tall narrow fenestrations with multi paned windows. The hip roof features a prominent cross gable with exposed beams between the first and second storey. The estate has many unique attributes such as a meandering stream, pond and formal gardens.
CHARACTER-DEFINING ELEMENTS
Character defining elements that contribute to the heritage value of Gairloch Gardens include the:
- proximity to Lake Ontario
- three storey stone and stucco exterior
- hip roof
- prominent cross gable
- original twelve and eighteen paned windows
- two large stone chimneys with decorative chimney pots
- exposed beams
- meandering stream
- pond
- formal garden areas within the park setting

"A garden is to be enjoyed, and should satisfy the mind and not only the eye of the beholder. Sounds such as the rustle of bamboo and the dripping of water, scents and sensations such as grass or gravel or stone underfoot, appeal to the emotions and play a part in the total impression."
Penelope Hobhouse

Exclusive Jail Event
Excerpt from historicplaces.ca:
Description of Historic Place
The Navy Hall stands alone in a carefully manicured park setting just below Fort George National Historic Site. Designed with clear, clean lines, it is a low, rectangular, stone-clad structure with a hipped-roof clad in copper, and with a symmetrical organization of its windows and entry points. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Heritage Value
The Navy Hall is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental values.
Historical Value:
The Navy Hall is a very good example of a building associated with the beginnings of the heritage movement in the first half of the 20th century. It illustrates changing approaches to the management of important historic buildings over time. In particular, it illustrates the role of aesthetics in conservation in the 1930s. Originally a commissariat storehouse, regular troops, the militia and also the Boy Scouts used the building, built in 1815. In the 1930s, the building was taken over by the Niagara Parks Commission.
Architectural Value:
The Navy Hall is valued for its good aesthetic design. The exterior fabric of the structure, the stone cladding, the copper clad roof, and the enhanced symmetry of the fenestration are features of the 1930s intervention. These features, clearly of a later era and philosophy, reflect the classical revival tastes of the period and the design idiom of the Niagara Parks Commission. Good functional design is evidenced in the placement of doors and windows, and in the spatial arrangement and planning of the interior.
Environmental Value:
The Navy Hall reinforces the landscaped parkway that runs along the Niagara lakefront and is a familiar landmark to residents and to visitors.
Character-Defining Elements
The character-defining elements of the Navy Hall should be respected.
Its good aesthetic, good functional design and good quality materials and craftsmanship, for example:
-the simple, rectangular massing.
-the low-pitched hipped roof, the copper roof cladding, and the symmetrically placed chimneys.
-the stone cladding of the exterior walls, the small multi-paned windows and large entrances.
-the interior spatial arrangement of the principal rooms.
The manner in which the Navy Hall reinforces the landscaped setting and is a familiar landmark, as evidenced by:
-its simple design and materials that harmonize with the landscaped parkway consisting of well-maintained lawns and walks, all introduced as part of the Niagara Park Commission’s parkway landscaping in the 1930s.
-its visibility and recognition by those frequenting the parkway and the National Historic Site.
Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Crimson Rosella
Platycercus elegans
Description: There are several colour forms of the Crimson Rosella. The form it is named for has mostly crimson (red) plumage and bright blue cheeks. The feathers of the back and wing coverts are black broadly edged with red. The flight feathers of the wings have broad blue edges and the tail is blue above and pale blue below and on the outer feathers. Birds from northern Queensland are generally smaller and darker than southern birds. The 'Yellow Rosella' has the crimson areas replaced with light yellow and the tail more greenish. The 'Adelaide Rosella' is intermediate in colour, ranging from yellow with a reddish wash to dark orange. Otherwise, all the forms are similar in pattern. Young Crimson Rosellas have the characteristic blue cheeks, but the remainder of the body plumage is green-olive to yellowish olive (occasionally red in some areas). The young bird gradually attains the adult plumage over a period of 15 months
Similar species: The adult Crimson Rosella is similar to male Australian King-Parrots, but differs by having blue cheeks, shoulders, and tail, a whitish, rather than red, bill and a dark eye. Immature Crimson Rosellas also differ from female and immature King-Parrots by having blue cheeks, a whitish bill and a more yellow-green rather than dark green colouring.
Distribution: There are several populations of the Crimson Rosella. Red (crimson) birds occur in northern Queensland, in southern Queensland to south-eastern South Australia and on Kangaroo Island. Orange birds are restricted to the Flinders Ranges region of South Australia, while yellow ones are found along the Murray, Murrumbidgee and neighbouring rivers (where yellow birds meet red birds they hybridise, producing orange offspring). Red birds have been introduced to Norfolk Island and New Zealand.
Habitat: Throughout its range, the Crimson Rosella is commonly associated with tall eucalypt and wetter forests.
Feeding: Crimson Rosellas are normally encountered in small flocks and are easily attracted to garden seed trays. Once familiar with humans, they will accept hand held food. Natural foods include seeds of eucalypts, grasses and shrubs, as well as insects and some tree blossoms.
Breeding: The Crimson Rosella's nest is a tree hollow, located high in a tree, and lined with wood shavings and dust. The female alone incubates the white eggs, but both sexes care for the young. The chicks remain dependent on their parents for a further 35 days after leaving the nest.
Calls: The Crimson Rosella has a range of calls, the commonest being a two-syllabled "cussik-cussik". It also has a range of harsh screeches and metallic whistles.
Minimum Size: 32cm
Maximum Size: 36cm
Average size: 34cm
Average weight: 129g
Breeding season: September to January
Clutch Size: 4 to 8 (usually 5)
Incubation: 20 days
Nestling Period: 35 days

Description of Historic Place
The Armoury is located in a mixed residential and commercial area in central Brampton. It is a mid-size, rectangular building with a low-pitched gable roof. The building’s sturdy brick walls feature engaged pilasters and elaborate detailing on the gable end. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Heritage Value
The Armoury is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental value.
Historical Value
The Armoury is associated with the pre-First World War armoury building campaign and the reform and expansion of the volunteer militia. The building reflects the federal commitment to provide good local training facilities for the militia. The construction of the armoury recognized the importance of the town as a military center and reflected its growth and prosperity.
Architectural Value
The Armoury is a good example of a mid-size, standard plan armoury which follows the Militia Council plan type “B”. It demonstrates very good functional design as evidenced in the steel roof truss construction, which accommodates an unobstructed drill hall. It also exhibits good craftsmanship as evidenced in the contrasts of materials and the elaboration of details on its gable end.
Environmental Value
The Armoury is compatible with the present character of its mixed residential and commercial neighbourhood setting. It is a well-known building within the community.
Character-Defining Elements
Its standard plan, functional design and quality craftsmanship, for example:
- its rectangular footprint and symmetrical massing;
- its low-pitched gable roof with elaborate tracery corbelling, limestone coping along the parapet and keystones for the circular windows at the gable ends;
- its load-bearing exterior walls clad in red brick with engaged pilasters and detailed with flat-voussoired windows, and troop doors with limestone detailing for the keystones and sills;
- its multi-paned wood and metal sash windows;
- its large, open drill hall with exposed steel trusses and extensive glazing.
The manner in which the Armoury is compatible with the present character of its mixed residential and commercial neighbourhood setting and is a well-known landmark within the community, as evidenced by:
- its scale, high standards of construction and materials and its location in the center of town, all of which contribute to and are in keeping with its surrounding townscape;
- its strong local presence through its continued use for community activities which makes it a familiar building in the community.

Description in English and Dutch:
I already uploaded photos of the Westduinpark in The Hague near Scheveningen. Wednesday I was in the same park, but then the part near Kijkduin. This is photo number 7 in the new series. It is an impressive dune area that runs approximately from Scheveningen harbor to Kijkduin.There are Scottish Highlanders in the protected nature reserve to control the vegetation and there is really a lot to see in terms of flora and fauna. It is a combination of dunes, open sand area and forest. It is very special there because dunes and forests alternate and sometimes merge into one another. On warm sunny days, a lot of women walk barefoot on the sandy areas, to experience the ultimate feeling of freedom.There are hiking trails as well as cycle paths and horse riding trails in the very interesting park. A lot of people are really impressed by the vegetation, bunkers from the Second World War, steep dune hills and the impressive viewpoints. The view at those points of the beach and the sea and on the other side the buildings of the city is truly phenomenal. Come there once and experience a invisible blanket of oasis and peace. You will imagine yourself in a kind of paradise where worries and problems do not exist and where the war of thoughts in everyone's head disappears like snow in the sun for a moment in time, because freedom is in each of us.
Nederlands
Eerder heb ik al foto's geüpload van het Westduinpark in Den Haag bij Scheveningen. Woensdag was ik in hetzelfde park, maar dan in het gedeelte bij Kijkduin. Dit is foto 6 van de nieuwe reeks van het Westduinpark. Er zijn hier ook Schotse Hooglanders in het beschermde natuurgebied aanwezig om de vegetatie in balans te houden. Buiten de vriendelijke hooglanders is er nog veel meer moois te beleven qua flora en fauna. Het park is een combinatie van duinen, open zandgebied en bos. Het is daar heel bijzonder, omdat duinen en bos elkaar afwisselen en soms in elkaar overlopen. Op warme zonnige dagen lopen veel vrouwen blootsvoets op de zanderige gebieden om het ultieme gevoel van vrijheid te ervaren. In het parkgebied zijn zowel wandelpaden als fietspaden als ruiterpaden aanwezig.Veel mensen die er voor het eerst komen zijn echt onder de indruk van de vegetatie, de overblijfselen van de bunkers uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog, de steile duinheuvels en de indrukwekkende uitzichtpunten. Op zo’n uitzichtpunt kun je vanaf de sfeervolle bankjes heerlijk genieten van het uitzicht op de gebouwen van de stad of aan de andere kant van het strand en de zee. Als je een keer in de buurt bent dan raad ik zeker aan om dit geweldige gebied te bezoeken. Een oase van rust en vrede zal als een onzichtbare deken over je heen vallen waarna je jezelf daar dan echt in een soort van paradijs waant. Op die magische Haagse plek zullen de negatieve gedachten in je hoofd daarom als sneeuw voor de zon verdwijnen.
The description of Lofoten as a fairy tale land comes from the Norway's great poet Bjornstjerne Bjornson.
When you like nature as me, Lofoten is an amazing place to be, especially Reine. Reine has been chosen by Time magazine as one of the most beautiful fjords in the world, a sight for sore eyes. The views are just breathtaking, snow covered mountains, deep fjords, and beautiful colors.
The weather in Lofoten changes rapidly in winter. First half of my trip it was none-stop raining almost every day, I spent most of my time scouting or sitting in my cozy water front Rorbu cabin and enjoying the view from the window.
Landscape photography is a waiting game, this is the one after ten days of waiting ...…
Does it look like a scene from Frozen?
Accessibility Description: A close-up of a tall wildflower stands in the foreground, its slender stems topped with clusters of small, vivid pink petals. Fine hairs along the green leaves and stems catch the golden light of the low sun, creating a soft halo. The background is an out-of-focus forest floor, dappled with warm sunlight streaming between tree trunks. Lens flares in soft green and gold add a dreamy effect to the sunlit scene.
Excerpt from uwaterloo.ca:
Description of the District
St. Clair Boulevard Heritage Conservation District runs along St. Clair Boulevard between Delaware Avenue and Cumberland Avenue. The district consists of 38 residential properties.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
The Heritage Conservation District Planning Background Study and Plan discuss the value of the district:
“The St. Clair Park survey, registered in 1911, was one of a number of residential surveys laid out in Hamilton’s east end just after the turn of the century, a boom period for residential construction throughout the City. The St. Clair Park Survey formed part of a middle to upper class residential area comprising a number of surveys, which extended from King Street East to the foot of the escarpment and from Wentworth Street South to Gage Park.
As was common practice in Hamilton at the time, the St. Clair Park Survey has building restrictions in the form of restrictive covenants registered on deed to the lots. Restrictions on the cost, construction and setback of the house account to a large extent for the cohesive character of St. Clair Boulevard’s urban streetscape.
While the restrictive covenants associated with the St. Clair Park Survey has building restrictions on its social make-up, the social composition of St. Clair Boulevard was nevertheless very homogenous, comprising middle to upper-middle income families of Anglo-Saxon origins. In the course of its history the boulevard has attracted some of Hamilton’s most prominent citizens; notably, he well-known and highly-respected judge, William F Schwenger and the successful construction company manager, Ralph W. Cooper. The Boulevard is also noteworthy for its social stability, owning to the long-term residence of most of the homeowners and
continuous use of the houses as single-family dwellings”.
Designation of the District
The designation of St. Clair Boulevard was initiated by local residents following the designation of the adjacent St. Clair Avenue district.

Hello everyone, I'm back(sort of). I know I've been pretty inactive lately, life got in the way and all that. I'm at college now and I don't have access to my collection anymore, but I have a decently sized backlog of stuff to post, so I figured I could at least do that. Anyway, here are a few figures from the Aquaman movie.

King Atlan:

My first Pixel Shift photo upload taken at Gloucester Cathedral yesterday (these are the original lavatories,) While taking the exposure a young lady entered the old cloister toilets, stood there for a couple of seconds then left, she's barely visible in the background, her face is just to the lower right handside of the far end wall window.

Description taken from Merlin bird app: "Uncommon, large, and spectacular bird of lowland tropical forest, mainly in wilder areas and not around human habitation. Most often seen soaring overhead in mid-late morning, often fairly high up with kettles of Black Vultures; rarely seen perched. Striking adult has a colorful head and neck, piercing white eyes, and mostly white plumage with a black trailing edge to the wings and tail. Immature is blackish overall and lacks the white wing markings of the smaller Black Vulture. Immature develops adult plumage over a few years with white appearing first on the belly and the underside of the wings." This picture was cropped significantly as the vulture was circling at high altitude. Costa Rica.
