This is developed in DDG with the T2D tool using the sunset image I posted yesterday as a base. No further edits.
As you can see the structure of the image is almost identical. This is an impasto palette knife version with the emphasis on the light reflections and flaming colors. To me this is a lot more alike to what I saw than the camera image. The sky was ablaze!

The castle was built between 1350 and 1375. In 1534 Renswoude was recognised as a knight royal residence. In 1623 castle Borchwal already expire as Johan van Reede become the owner . This Calvinistic priest finds a church more important than the rebuilding, of his own castle. In the house, on its property where Protestant meetinings kept, the house become much too small. He gets authorisation to build its own church near the castle. This fine cupola church was taken in 1641 in use. Then late Johan van Reede demolishes in 1654 the old castle and build the new, current castle.
The castle park developed itself as from that time slowly in a baroque park, with a straight alley pattern. In 1682 Johan are succeeded by his third zoon, Frederik Adriaan. He was married with Maria Duyst van Voorhout. During the absence of her man she let dig now the Grand still existing canal, compared with the castle alley. Because of this big work, much unemployed persons could helped with the work. But it had been especially intended as a surprise for her man, They are Versailles lgarden overs in that time, so they build there own French garden. On 28 November 1985 there was a big fire on the castle. The fire made a damage of millions of guldens. All the next day, they started with setting up wharf and rebuild the damage. This was reached by the energy of the current owner, baron Taets van Amerongen. In the meantime the castle has been restored entirely. For groups the castle be visit.

The Waterfall of the Gods, Viking cruise excursion, Northern Iceland's Natural Treasures
Goðafoss translates from modern Icelandic as "the waterfall of the gods", a nickname said to come from a myth from Iceland's history. According to legend, after converting the country to Christianity, Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði (one of the main rulers of the island at that time) threw all his pagan idols into the waterfall, thus changing the Viking gods for the Christian god.
Baranti is a developing tourist center located in the lap of Gorongi Hill in Purulia,India.It is located right in the lap of a hilly range with a huge water reservoir, known as a Baranti Lake. Sunset is particularly special here. The lake keeps changing its colour from time to time during sunset. It’s a real treat for the eyes to sit and watch the various shades of yellow and red reflected on the water.
Reddish Egret
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.
Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.

The coble is a type of open traditional fishing boat which developed on the North East coast of England.
The distinctive shape of the boat — flat-bottomed and high-bowed — arose to cope with the particular conditions prevalent in this area. Flat bottoms allowed launching from and landing upon shallow, sandy beaches; an advantage in this part of the coast where the wide bays and inlets provided little shelter from stormy weather. However, fishermen required high bows to sail in the dangerous North Sea and in particular to launch into the surf and to land on the beaches. The design contains relics of Norse influence, though in the main it shows Dutch origin.

Breve historia de "Temps de Flors"
Un pequeño evento que se celebró en el Salón de Descanso del Ayuntamiento en 1954 se ha convertido en el gran festival internacional de Girona
La historia de Girona, Temps de Flors es también una historia de jóvenes emprendedores que en 1954 decidieron organizar una primera edición de lo que llamaron Concurso Exposición Provincial de Flores en el Salón de Descanso del Teatro Municipal. La buena respuesta y el interés de las personas que visitaron ese espacio entonces les empujó a sacar adelante un evento que se ha convertido en el gran festival internacional de Girona, una actividad que atrae a gente de todo el mundo.
El festival fue creciendo año tras año, tanto en lo que se refiere al espacio que lo acogía como por la implicación, cada vez mayor, de la ciudadanía y el tejido social de la ciudad. Del Salón de Descanso, que ese primer año ya quedó pequeño, se pasó a la Sala de Pergaminos de la Biblioteca Pública y después al Monasterio de Sant Pere de Galligants. Posteriormente, se pasó al convento y al claustro de Sant Domènec y más tarde, ya se empezó a extender por varios patios y jardines del Barri Vell, como la plaza de los Jurados, el claustro de la Catedral o los jardines de la plaza de Narcís Figueras.
La evolución del festival vivió un punto clave en 1979, cuando se organizó por primera vez en nombre de la Asociación de los Amigos de las Flores y de los Jardines. Más adelante, en 1983, se implicó también la Asociación de Amigos de la Girona Antiga, que consiguió la apertura de muchos otros patios y jardines particulares que durante el resto del año permanecían cerrados al público. En 1992, el Ayuntamiento de Girona se implicó definitivamente en la organización. La conjunción de estos hechos supuso un salto cualitativo y cuantitativo determinante para la proyección del festival.
Durante más de seis décadas Rosa Maria Labayen, David Marca y Josep Tarrés mantuvieron el espíritu tradicional de la reconocida muestra floral, el evento que enorgullece a todos los gerundenses y gerundenses. Ellos consiguieron que sea un icono imprescindible de la ciudad y es a quien se debe el verdadero éxito de Girona, Temps de Flors.
A Brief History of Temps de Flors
A small event held in the City Hall's Lounge in 1954 has become Girona's major international festival.
The history of Girona, Temps de Flors is also a story of young entrepreneurs who, in 1954, decided to organize the first edition of what they called the Provincial Flower Exhibition and Competition in the Lounge of the Municipal Theatre. The positive response and interest from visitors encouraged them to develop an event that has become Girona's major international festival, an activity that attracts people from all over the world.
The festival grew year after year, both in terms of the venue and the increasing involvement of the city's citizens and social fabric. From the Lounge, which became too small that first year, it moved to the Parchment Room of the Public Library and later to the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants. Later, the festival moved to the convent and cloister of Sant Domènec, and subsequently expanded to various courtyards and gardens in the Barri Vell (Old Quarter), such as Plaça dels Jurats, the Cathedral cloister, and the gardens of Plaça de Narcís Figueras.
The festival's evolution reached a pivotal point in 1979, when it was first organized by the Association of Friends of Flowers and Gardens. Later, in 1983, the Association of Friends of Old Girona also became involved, securing the opening of many other private courtyards and gardens that remained closed to the public for the rest of the year. In 1992, the Girona City Council definitively became involved in the organization. The convergence of these events represented a decisive qualitative and quantitative leap for the festival's growth.
For over six decades, Rosa Maria Labayen, David Marca, and Josep Tarrés maintained the traditional spirit of the renowned flower show, an event that fills all the residents of Girona with pride. They made it an essential icon of the city, and it is thanks to them that Girona, Temps de Flors (Girona Flower Festival) truly succeeds.

Seems late in the season, they might have lost their eggs to addling. Apparently if they suspect their eggs were tampered with they will lay again.
From Wikipedia "Goose egg addling is a wildlife management method of population control for Canada geese and other bird species. The process of addling involves temporarily removing fertilized eggs from the nest, testing for embryo development, killing the embryo, and placing the egg back in the nest. Returning the egg to the nest misleads the goose into believing the egg is still developing. Otherwise, the goose would begin laying again."
This somewhat rare and unusual car/truck took Best in Class at the 2024 Lime Rock Concours Show. The truck was developed around Studebaker's Dictator car, (looks more like their Commander model, so the info could be wrong) used it's chassis along the front and rear styling features of the car. This hybrid car/truck predated Ford's Ranchero and Chevrolet's El Camino by around 20 years.
The Studebaker Coupe Express is a passenger car based coupe utility, produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, between 1937 and 1939. Featuring an automobile styled cab and flared rear fenders right off the Studebaker Dictator, it was sold both with a manufacturer supplied pick up style metal bed, and as a rolling chassis and cab to be fitted with a bed or boxes by the purchaser.
The Coupe Express was designed by Raymond Loewy and utilized the Dictator passenger car frame, running gear, and front sheet metal. A new body stamping was made to form the cab back. The model was sold both with a manufacturer supplied metal bed and as a cab and chassis, with the Dictator’s automobile-style sweepingly flared rear fenders attached. A service box, built to specification, would be fabricated by (or for) the end user (such as a plumber or electrician).
The truck was powered by the larger of Studebaker's L-head six-cylinder flathead engines and mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. Studebaker offered a Borg-Warner 3-speed transmission with overdrive as an option. Other options included a radio, heater, wire reinforced sliding back window and turn indicators. Two optional wheels were available, including a stamped steel disc wheel and a stamped steel 'artillery' spoked wheel.
Production for the 1937 model year was approximately 3,000 units.
The truck's passenger cab was restyled in 1938 to reflect the modernized passenger car sheet metal resulted a slightly longer pickup bed. Production for 1938 was approximately 1,200 units.
The 1939 model was again remodeled to reflect Studebaker's annual design updates. Production was approximately 1,000 units. The Coupe Express model was discontinued after the 1939 model year, and Studebaker did not offer a successor model for 1940.
Studebaker introduced the M-Series pickup truck 1941, while the company used the Coupe Express name in advertising for a time,[citation needed] but no M-Series trucks were ever officially designated as the Coupe Express.
The fact that Studebaker itself labeled it a “coupe” rather than a truck (a very different thing at that time; retained a stylish, even luxurious, interior instead of replacing it with a more utilitarian one; and never named or officially referred to any of its actual pickup trucks with the terms “coupe“ or “express“, further distance it from being labeled as one.

Call it a(n) homage.
Everything about this photograph is not quite real (let's call it surreal) and yet it gives us an alternative view of the world that is believable in a dreamlike state.
First the title and then the image. In Australia we grew up eating Aeroplane Jelly ('jello' if you live in the USA). This came in a range of artificial flavours and the colours were amazing. Raspberry was my favourite. Many older Australians have etched in their memories that famous singing ad campaign: "I like Aeroplane Jelly." www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJZ2w6Q_Uww&t=41s
So what is aerochrome? Well, as the name suggests, it is related to things aerial. Kodak Aerochrome is a discontinued line of infrared film that produced wonderful deep reds in all vegetation. It was used for aerial survey mapping. In fact its history is a little more surreal than that, because it was specifically developed for use by US spy planes in the Korean War to identify enemy troop placements.
In the Psychedelic period of the late 1960s, Karl Ferris, sometimes known as "The Godfather of Color Infrared", made the seminal colour infrared image for the cover of the album, The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Are You Experienced?. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Ferris
Real Aerochrome film now changes hands for enormous prices. One Australian photographer has specialised in this field and produces some extraordinary images, and he's very happy to share his knowledge with us. Check out Rob Walwyn's "A complete How-To guide for shooting Kodak Aerochrome false-colour infrared film" www.robwalwyn.com/aerochrome
Well, since I can't afford the real thing for my film camera, and since my digital infrared camera is monochromatic, I have to make do with taking a colour image from my Nikon D850 (ironically a camera that cannot use the infrared R72 filter - and I'm NOT transitioning it). I then worked in Capture One 23 to produce an approximation of the Aerochrome look.
No doubt these days you can find a style-look or 'filter' for processing this type of image, but I refuse to use them. What creativity is there in that?
Today's forms of money have developed from primitive money, e.g. B. mussels or rice, which were accepted as a means of exchange in business life. Money initially belonged to the cultic and legal sphere and referred to "that with which one can repay or pay penance and sacrifices". Only after the 14th century did it assume its current meaning as a "coined currency". From the middle of the 19th century, the gold standard existed in many countries, promising the exchange of legal tender (coins, banknotes) for a fixed amount of gold. By the 1930s almost all major states had abandoned the gold standard. Instead of such a standard, monetary policy measures were taken by the central banks to ensure price stability.

Cash (englisch für „Bargeld“)
Kies (jiddisch kis, „Geldbeutel“)
Mäuse (jiddisch meus, „Geld“)
Moneten (lateinisch moneta, „Münze“; vgl. engl. money)
Moos (jiddisch und rotwelsch moos, mous (Plural), „Geld“)

Entwickelt haben sich die heutigen Geldformen aus Primitivgeld, z. B. Muscheln oder Reis, die im Geschäftsleben als Tauschmittel akzeptiert wurden. Geld gehörte anfangs zur kultischen und rechtlichen Sphäre und bezeichnete „das, womit man Buße und Opfer erstatten bzw. entrichten kann“. Erst nach dem 14. Jahrhundert nahm es seine aktuelle Bedeutung als „geprägtes Zahlungsmittel“ an. Ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts existierte in vielen Ländern der Goldstandard, bei dem der Umtausch von gesetzlichen Zahlungsmitteln (Münzen, Banknoten) in eine feststehende Menge Gold versprochen wurde. Um 1930 haben fast alle größeren Staaten den Goldstandard aufgegeben. An die Stelle eines solchen Standards traten geldpolitische Maßnahmen der Notenbanken, die eine Preisniveaustabilität sicherstellen sollten.

Male Anhinga.
Blue eye shadow means mating season. Anhingas develop this bright blue around the eyes when they are in mating season.
The anhinga (/ænˈhɪŋɡə/; Anhinga anhinga), sometimes called snakebird, darter, American darter, or water turkey, is a water bird of the warmer parts of the Americas. The word anhinga comes from the Brazilian Tupi language and means devil bird or snake bird. When swimming the origin of the name snakebird is apparent: only the colored neck appears above water so the bird looks like a snake ready to strike. They do not have external nares (nostrils) and breathe solely through their epiglottis.
The anhinga is placed in the darter family, Anhingidae, and is closely related to Indian (Anhinga melanogaster), African (A. rufa), and Australian (A. novaehollandiae) darters. Like other darters, the anhinga hunts by spearing fishes and other small prey using its sharp, slender beak. (Copied from Wikipedia)
