*****THE BEAUTIFUL ELEMENT CALLED PHOTOGRAPHY!*****

I paesaggi di pianura, osservati ad altezza d'uomo, appaiono composti da elementi orizzontali. Si tratta di fasce in cui si riducono per ragioni prospettiche i grandi spazi. Oppure di elementi verticali d'orizzonte, che la distanza riduce comunque in fasce cromatiche. Come in questo caso, in cui una fascia di canneto e una schiera di montiformano un paesaggio ..... ..
Gli elementi essenziali per la vita sul Pianeta: la luce solare e le piante. Senza la fonte perenne di luce che inonda di colore la superficie della Terra e di gioia di vivere il nostro animo, non ci sarebbe vita. Nè essa potrebbe esistere senza gli organismi speciali che la catturano e la trasformano magicamente in sostanza organica e dunque in materia vivente ..... ..
From this morning's walk in the rain. Rain drops on the lens (seldom use the lens hood; virtual head slap), rain on my eyeglasses, rain blowing everywhere gently! Love it. Did put the camera and lens in an old plastic shield that did very little.
But the camera is old. We'll see just how weather-sealed it is, eh?
Un fiore di fiordaliso (Centaurea sp.) e una piccola ape nera: come a dire una "combinazione elementare", o meglio, una relazione ecologica elementare; in questo caso, di natura trofica. In questa immagine scontata, in questa relazione semplice e diretta, tuttavia, c'è la chiave stessa della vita sul Pianeta. Al punto che un Genio dell'Umanità si è spinto ad affermare che gli umani si estingueranno tre anni dopo l'estinzione delle api ..... ..

Not sure which is scarier the actual or the shadow of same....
La cour d'honneur
Autour de la cour d’honneur , se déploie l’ensemble résidentiel des Savoie, avec ses salles d’apparat bordées de chambres secondaires ses logements , sa chapelle et ses bâtiments administratifs, protégés par le donjon.
Dans la cour, deux escaliers, menant à l’aula et à la chapelle, semblent converger
sur la fenêtre à croisée de la camera domini, rehaussée de bleu et de rouge encore perceptibles par fragments.
Mise en exergue d’un lieu privilégié, cette scénographie produisait sans nul doute un fort impact visuel au Moyen Age, lorsque ces éléments se détachaient des murs unifiés par l’enduit.

As we made our way through the Nicola Valley, the shadows grew longer, and the colors got more intense. Time of day is the first component in the broth for capturing those wicked colors. When the sun gets lower in the sky, cool blue rays are slowly replaced with warm red rays. And, adding a polarizing filter to both remove stray white light, and saturate colors, is the second part.
The third element to successfully capturing those rich colors, is to do so after it rains, which had recently happened. This in turn clears the atmosphere of various particulates, sort of like cleaning the front element of your lens. Now with all three ingredients of my recipe in place, it is no wonder this is my favourite time to shoot a landscape.
So, let's continue with what I started at the end of last year. Maybe you remember. I showed you a photo of this landscape from Děčín in Bohemian Switzerland and promised to go into the details again later.
The next element in this series would be this impressive building, which can be seen down there under a dramatic winter sky, the Tetschner Castle.
As early as 1128, a fortification was mentioned at this point that served to control shipping traffic on the Elbe (that was almost 1000 years ago, unimaginable). In the 16th century, after various other building projects, the Baroque palace that can be visited today was built.
In the 19th century, the castle gained some fame when the then well-known composer Frédéric Chopin stayed here for five days and even composed a waltz here, which is still known today as the "Tetschner Waltz".
Even though the building looks more like a fortress from a distance, the baroque influence inside is unmistakable. For example, the inner courtyard houses a quite impressive rose garden.
So, dann fahren wir mal damit fort, was ich am Ende des letzten Jahres begonnen hatte. Vielleicht erinnert Ihr Euch. Ich hatte Euch eine Aufnahme dieser Landschaft von Děčín in der Böhmischen Schweiz gezeigt und versprochen, auf die Details später noch einmal einzugehen.
Das nächste Element in dieser Reihe währe dann dieses beeindruckende Gebäude, welches dort unten, unter einem dramatischen Winterhimmel zu sehen ist, das Tetschner Schloss.
Bereits 1128 wird an dieser Stelle eine Befestigung erwähnt die dazu diente den Schiffsverkehr auf der Elbe zu kontrollieren (das ist fast 1000 Jahr her, unvorstellbar). Im 16. Jahrundert entstand dann, nach verschiedenen anderen Baumaßahmen das heute zu besichtigende Barockschloß.
Im 19. Jahrundert erlangte das Schlöß einige Berühmtheit, als der damals schon recht bekannte Komponist Frédéric Chopin für fünf Tage hier verweilte und hier sogar einen Walzer Komponierte, der noch heute als der "Tetschner Walzer" bekannt ist.
Auch wenn das Gebäude von weitem eher wie eine Festung aussieht, so ist der barocke Einfluß im Inneren unverkennbar. So beherbergt der Innehof zum Beispiel einen recht beeindruckenden Rosengarten.

I don’t know how we came across this rock exactly as my father used to collect interesting lumps of rock. We have granite from Cornwall which was going to be my first choice but the I remembered about this copper containing rock. There are circular holes in the rock so I assume that there must be a volcanic element to it tough I cannot be sure.
Thanks for stopping HMM
