Seasonal differences

The difference between a "Burg" and a "Schloss" (castle) is that a Burg is more like a fortress, built for protection from the enemies, and a Schloss was for the nobility to reside in, and very lavishly decorated.
Over time, some of the Burgs were also turned into castles.
Burg Eltz is somewhat unusual, in that it's been in the same family that had it built over 850 years ago, and Count and Countess Eltz still live there today.

Mille merci chers amis, pour votre grand soutien et gentillesse depuis longtemps, c'est un plaisir et un honneur pour moi,
Au delà de nos différences nous sommes tous des habitants de la Terre ce weekend arrive le temps de Noël , le temps de la Paix.
N'oublions pas cependant ceux qui n'ont rien, sont seuls où opprimés, alors si tout n'est pas parfait pour le réveillon ou les cadeaux peu importe, ayons tous une pensées pour ces personnes victimes des Guerres ou démunies. Paix sur le Monde !
---------------------------
Thousand thanks you dear friends, for your great support and kindness for a long time, it is a pleasure and an honor for me,
Beyond our differences we are all inhabitants of the Earth this weekend is Christmas time, the time of Peace.
Let's not forget, however, those who have nothing, are alone or oppressed, so if everything isn't perfect for Christmas Eve or the gifts, let's all have a thought for these people who are victims of wars or destitute. Peace on the World !

Thursday October 6th - Clarity
It seems at first glance that the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle are sitting on the headland of Cullernose Point. Not so! They are in fact a further 3km distant.
Very different visibility from the vista the day before looking towards Dunstanburgh from a much closer spot on the other (north) side of Cullernose Point!
about the extent of their differences. It is more profitable to think of points of agreement :-)

As 2022 draws to a close, I am looking forward to turning the page on this year, which has been a difficult one for me, and starting the new chapter that is 2023.
There are a few lines from a Josh Groban song called "Thankful", that I have always loved:
Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each others' light
For me, Flickr has become a beautiful place to find that light and that connection, especially in a world that seems to grow increasingly dark and troubled. So I want to share a deep and sincere Thank You to all my Flickr friends and contacts for the light you give and all the ways in which you uplift my spirit. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity which both awe and inspire me, for sharing your beautiful places, special moments, and great adventures, for your thoughtful and generous support of my photography and writing, and most of all for your personal kindness, caring, and humanity. I truly enjoy all of the conversations, comments, and connection with each of you, and am incredibly thankful for your encouragement and good wishes through some of the tough times this year.
I am profoundly grateful to have met such wonderful people here on Flickr. Because in the words of the incomparable Maya Angelou in the poem below,
"Nobody, but nobody, Can make it out here alone.
I wish each of you health, happiness, and beautiful light (both in photography and life) in the new year ahead!
Alone
by Maya Angelou
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

When I came upon this Cormorant gazing out over the water at a local lake, I wondered if it was lonely or just liked hanging-out alone. I’ve found there is a difference.
"All by Myself" is a song by American singer-songwriter Eric Carmen. The most notable cover version of the song was recorded by Canadian singer Celine Dion in 1996.

“Because the difference between a friend and a real friend is that you and the real friend come from the same territory, of the same place deep inside you, and that means you see the world in the same kind of way. You know each other even before you do.”
― Laura Pritchett, Sky Bridge
My friend, Mario Scattoloni, asked me to upload 10 works of mine with the goal of promoting positivity, passion, and attention to our love of art on Facebook for 10 days and this is my eighth creation.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
…One for Sliders Sunday - besides the obvious B&W -V- Colour can you see some magic sliding gone on to make them nearer to the Olympic rings - no photoshop only Lightroom and no washers were mutilated in the process! See 1st comment box for other shot - original one from last weeks Macro Monday. Happy Sliders Sunday, Alan:-) HSS…..

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
What a difference it makes when the rain stops. Had a fantastic weekend out locally with the camera and found this new forest pony as the sun came up.
The winter storm of two days ago left structures and the shoreline coated with ice and snow. What a difference a day can make!

One image was taken last night at 10 PM. The other image was taken at 8 AM this morning. Do you see the one difference? Poor Pumpkin! 😂
The difference between the two is startling when they're close together. The Great Egret towers over the Snowy Egret! Lovely birds that look so much alike from a distance but are so startlingly different when seen together.
Yesterday evening at Sunset....Temp: 13C.
The second image was a day earlier and 23C.

Hong Kong Disneyland.
I got so much inspirations when I started to capture the bubbles.
Timing, was out of my control.
I started to realize that,
I cannot control all the things with the same method,
I cannot expect all the outcomes with the same way.
This was the most wonderful inspiration I get from Disneyland@
A difficult image to process, either in bw or colour, as everything is pretty much the same. All the stones have the same colour and the few plants on the edge of the path don't make much difference. Still, I love that little part of Aldeia Da Cuada, the narrow path winding between the cozy looking cottages. I always get a feeling of safety when I look at this scene.
The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.

Captures taken about 12 hours apart. Both were at two seconds exposure time, one at ISO 100 and a 400ND Filter on, and the other at ISO 3200.

What a difference 30 minutes and 24 km makes, we arrived in Zutphen damp but drying out the sun actually tried to break through several times after leaving the car at a nearby parking lot exploring our way to the old town of this lovely historic Hanseatic town.
Zutphen has been inhabited for over 1700 years and was founded by the Franks during the time of the Roman Empire making it one of Holland’s oldest cities.
Being founders of the Hanseatic League the town has always been prosperous and despite its small size boasts over 450 national monuments thanks to its long wealthy history.
When you are slogging about dripping wet hunched over loaded down with camera gear in the pissing rain you just have to persevere and hope for a break in the weather or good spots that can shield you from the wet while shooting.
For most travel photographers its not like we will always have another opportunity to be back in the same direction so good wet weather gear and umbrellas are the order of the day when traveling in the fall most especially in the Netherlands.
Captured here is the pedestrian mall leading to the Tower of the Walburgis church which was at one time 113m tall but since 1600 reduced to a mere 76m though small in stature it is still a beauty and has been around since the 13th century ushering the locals to sermon.
I took this on September 19th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 28mm 1/8s, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO
