My first real view of Dartmoor, Devon. Grey Wethers Stone Circles are just visible down from the horizon on the left hand side. Zeiss ExoLens (Wide-Angle), Manfrotto Tripod, Hisy remote, ever so gently tickled in Snapseed on iPad Air.
Location: Seven Weeks Poort in the Little Karoo
Description: Here is another (half-decent) composition from my recent visit to the spectacular Seven Weeks Poort (I just wish I'd pressed the shutter one second earlier).
The magnificent vertical rockfolds, reaching for the skies on both sides of the road, reflect the inconceivable forces of the volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, forming the chain of Cape ripple-like mountains. Often the converging slopes leave only a narrow pass, just broad enough for the Huis River to pass through, whilst the precipices of naked, distorted rock-faces tower like walls of a natural rampart, obscuring the sun.
I honestly couldn’t think of any better place to pedal my bicycle… can you?

Description in English and Dutch
Mr. Monster was taking a leisurely stroll along the canal in Kinderdijk, admiring the magnificent reflections of the clouds in the water. As he stopped to take in the breathtaking view, he began to dream away to the past and found himself learning about the incredible history of water management and windmills in the Unesco area. He was transported back to a time of innovation and discovery, when Dutch engineers perfected the art of controlling the water and safeguarding their land from the ever-present threat of flooding. He saw the development of the windmills from their early days to the 19th century, when they were used to pump water to and from the canals. As he continued to take in the scenery, Mr. Monster knew that he had been granted a unique opportunity to learn about the history of the area and all that it entailed.
Nederlands
Toen Marco een aantal jaren geleden tijdens zijn wandeling in Kinderdijk stopte om een aantal foto's te maken van het prachtige landschap, werd hij betoverd door de schoonheid van de weerspiegeling van de wolken op het water. Starend naar de wolken droomde hij weg naar het verleden en begon daar te leren over de geschiedenis van waterbeheer en molens in het Unesco-gebied. Hij werd meegenomen naar een tijd van innovatie en ontdekking, toen Nederlandse ingenieurs de kunst van waterbeheersing perfectioneerden en het land beschermden tegen de voortdurende dreiging van overstromingen. Hij zag de ontwikkeling van de molens vanaf hun vroege dagen tot de 19e eeuw, toen ze werden gebruikt om water naar en van de kanalen te pompen. Marco wist dat hij een unieke kans had gekregen om de geschiedenis van het gebied te leren kennen en alles wat daarbij kwam kijken.

DESCRIPTION:
The picture show the comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan Atlas.
Despite the presence of a slight haze and some low clouds, the image clearly shows the comet with its long tail and the anti-tail, characteristic of this comet.
While the tail is formed by light gases ejected from the comet and pushed by the solar wind in the opposite direction to the sun, the anti-tail is formed by heavier debris that the comet leaves along the way. They therefore trace the comet’s trajectory and, under particular perspective conditions, appear as a straight trail in the direction of the sun.
The photo was taken from the eastern side of Mount Etna, at about 1800m altitude.

Online photo exhibition is the last 3 days! For details, check the description. I was planning to actually exhibit it at a gallery in Tokyo in April, but it was postponed at the request of the government.
COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 is attacking all over the world. Japan is no exception, and everyday is becoming more difficult. As a photographer, I also thought about life and postponed the exhibition according to the government's request. The Japanese government does not support artists. So I decided to hold an online photo exhibition. This is free to watch.
The photo exhibition should be in the dark in the room at night, preferably with the playlist. Look at the brightness of mobile terminals at 1/3.
Thank you for your support. Thanks to everyone, we had more access than in Japan. Thank you. Last but not least, I would be happy if you could share the URL of the photo exhibition on your SNS. Thank you!

写真展は、出来ればプレイリストと一緒に、部屋を暗くし携帯端末の明るさを1/3に見てください。
ご支援いただきありがとうございます。 おかげさまで、日本よりも多くのアクセスがありました。 ありがとうございました。 最後になりましたが、写真展のURLをSNSでシェアしていただければ幸いです。 ありがとうございました！

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.
Description in English and Dutch:
English
Valkenburg Castle originated in the Middle Ages has a history of destruction, reconstruction and siege. It is the only high castle that has ever stood in the Netherlands. The castle has been in Spanish possession as well in possession of the State troops. It has been occupied by William of Orange as well as by Lodewijk van Nassau. During the start of the Dutch War in 1672, the infamous Sun King Louis XIV occupied the castle with his troops. The tactically strong young governor Willem III mounts an attack from Maastricht and recaptures the castle. Due to the constant attacks on the castle and its fragility, he decides to blow up the castle with gunpowder. As a result, only the ruins remain.
Nederlands
Het kasteel van Valkenburg is in de middeleeuwen ontstaan en heeft een geschiedenis van verwoesting, heropbouw en belegering. Het kasteel is de enige hoogteburcht ooit in Nederland. Het is zowel in Spaans bezit geweest als van de Staatse troepen. Het is onder andere door Willem van Oranje ingenomen als door Lodewijk van Nassau. Tijdens het begin van de Hollandse oorlog in 1672 heeft de beruchte Zonnekoning Lodewijk XIV met zijn troepen de burcht bezet. De tactisch sterke jonge stadhouder Willem III zet een aanval op vanuit Maastricht en heroverd het kasteel. Vanwege de voortdurende aanvallen op het kasteel en de kwetsbaarheid ervan besluit hij om het kasteel op te blazen met buskruit. Hierdoor is alleen nog de ruïne over.

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”.

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

Excerpt from historicplaces.ca:
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

Description in English and Dutch:
English
The Dutch sculptor André Volten caused a lot of headaches in local politics in the 1970s. The then ailing Zestienhoven airport in the notorious Overschie district lost millions for years and almost everyone was convinced that the small airport would disappear. The artwork of André Volten was made for an art project. For years, the artist has been involved in negotiations with the municipality and the airport to get his project done. That was not an easy story, because the city council had already decided to close the airport. In the end, the artwork was completed, although opinions were very divided about an artwork for an airport that would close. The gifted artist, who is seen as one of the most important artists in the Netherlands after the Second World War, has taken into account a possible relocation of the artwork in the design. The pipe system is designed in such a way that it is easy to move. It first stood in a different spot on a lawn and was then stored for a long time in a depot. Despite plans to close the airport in the last century, it still exists. The airport is now called Rotterdam The Hague airport and has grown into the 2nd regional airport in the Netherlands. The artwork has now been placed in the water next to the grass and it is once again a real landmark for visitors and passengers from the airspace. The sculpture is now known as Mikado and the artist, who died in 2002, wanted the tubes to depict the tangle of planes taking off and descending in different directions and I think it worked out quite nicely. I took this photo with an oblique perspective to make the mikado lines effect even better.
Nederlands
De Nederlandse beeldhouwer André Volten zorgde in de jaren zeventig voor veel hoofdbrekens in de lokale politiek. Het toen noodlijdende vliegveld Zestienhoven in de beruchte wijk Overschie verloor jarenlang miljoenen en bijna iedereen was ervan overtuigd dat het kleine vliegveld zou verdwijnen. Het kunstwerk van André Volten is gemaakt voor een kunstproject. De kunstenaar was al jaren betrokken bij onderhandelingen met de gemeente en de luchthaven om zijn project tot een goed einde te brengen. Dat was geen makkelijk verhaal, want het stadsbestuur had al besloten de luchthaven te sluiten. Uiteindelijk was het kunstwerk af, al waren de meningen zeer verdeeld over een kunstwerk voor een vliegveld dat zou sluiten. De begenadigd kunstenaar, die na de Tweede Wereldoorlog als een van de belangrijkste kunstenaars van Nederland wordt gezien, heeft in het ontwerp rekening gehouden met een mogelijke verplaatsing van het kunstwerk. Het buizenstelsel is zo ontworpen dat het gemakkelijk te verplaatsen is. Het stond eerst op een andere plek op een grasveld en heeft daarna lange tijd in een depot gestaan. Ondanks plannen om de luchthaven in de vorige eeuw te sluiten, bestaat deze nog steeds. De luchthaven heet nu Rotterdam The Hague airport en is uitgegroeid tot de 2e regionale luchthaven van Nederland. Het kunstwerk is nu in het water naast het gras geplaatst en is opnieuw een waar herkenningspunt voor bezoekers en passagiers uit het luchtruim. Het staat nu bekend als Mikado en de kunstenaar, die in 2002 stierf, wilde dat de buizen de wirwar van vliegtuigen verbeelden die opstijgen en dalen in verschillende richtingen en ik denk dat het best goed gelukt is. Ik nam deze foto met een schuin perspectief om het effect van de mikado en vlieglijnen nog beter uit te laten komen.
"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."

Most of my images are "not" colorful and my subject matter is mostly not high class or on the rich side for that is "not" me!
Im from the backwoods country, rural, peaceful, a humble man and also a Christian. Sometimes I use my images as little messages or to get a Bible verse expressed hoping not to offend anyone at the same time. Most of my subjects are things that catch my eye of a rural farming country nature. Some are things of interest or a series on certain topics. And some are places my wife and I have visited that I happen to catch shots of to share like this one. But I save colorful shots like this one to break up my photostream or to end a series so to speak, kinda a shocker shot lol! Because my images are mostly desaturated, moody, selective color, monochromes and with my twist of perspective to them from Lightroom Processing. Oh and a few film shots along the way as well. But anyway I wanted to explain why you see things like this shot in my photostream and to express a bit about me to those that might come across this that dont know me. Im fairly new to photography and I enjoy cameras, I dont know but something about them especially "well made" classic antique cameras that draws to me. Also the ability to freeze time in a photography is very appealing to me. I enjoy to see others creativity and expression in thier works as well!! Also appreciate the friendships I made since starting Flickr and getting to know them through thier lenses! Sorry Im not on Flickr all the time as well guys!
Thanks for reading and thanks for taking time to visit my images!! Sincerely appreciated...
God bless you and yours...
