Schloss Dyck, located in Jüchen, Germany, is one of the Rhineland's most significant moated castles. Dating back to the 11th century, the complex as it stands today is a beautiful example of Baroque architecture, featuring a grand four-winged main building surrounded by a network of defensive stone walls and deep, water-filled moats. For over 900 years, it served as the ancestral seat of the Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck family before transitioning into a public cultural foundation focused on garden art and historical preservation.
The castle is internationally renowned for its spectacular English landscape garden, which was redesigned in the early 19th century by the famous Scottish garden architect Thomas Blaikie. Spanning over 170 acres, the park seamlessly blends rolling lawns, winding paths, and picturesque water features. It is a haven for plant lovers, boasting a massive collection of rare, centuries-old trees - such as giant sequoias and ancient ginkgos - and vibrant seasonal floral displays that shift in color throughout the year.
Today, Dyck Castle and Gardens operates as a vibrant cultural center and open-air museum. Visitors can explore the historical interior rooms, enjoy contemporary art exhibitions, or walk through modern experimental themed gardens that showcase innovative landscape designs. The estate also serves as a popular venue for major regional events, hosting everything from garden fairs and classic car shows to festive Christmas markets, making it a beloved destination for both history buffs and nature enthusiasts.

I have passed by these classic red stools outside "D's Diner" for over two years now, always meaning to stop. Well, I finally did. This is one of those great old diners that just screams the 50's. Can't you just picture the girls in their pink poodle skirts and angora sweaters, perched on these stools, sipping malteds?
THIS is Americana at it's finest.
Long live the diner.

Peeled Early
"Men should be explorers, no matter how old they are."
- a line from Don Ameche's character, Art Selwyn, from the 1985 movie, Cocoon.
This image, once I peeked (which resulted in me peeling it early anyway because I liked what I saw) at it, made me immediately think of the movie Cocoon. Why, I don't know, because that movie scared me for some reason as a child. I've seen it since then and its not so scary now but back then, something about it just freaked me out.
Thank you everyone for visiting, commenting and fav'ing - very much appreciated! Press "L" for better view and "F" if you like it!
This is an old photo from 2006. Four families including us went to visit the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, USA. My son, still small at that time, was exploring the Morning Glory Pool, a natural hot spring. Bacteria live in the water, which gives the pool its distinct colors.
I took this photo with a point and shoot Sony camera. I now HDR-processed it to give it a smooth look while enhancing the micro-contrast. The colors are pretty accurate, that is, no change in color saturation compared to the original.

It's time to head to the beach. The wind blows through your hair. The warm sun bathes your skin. Soft golden sand caresses your feet. The waves sing to a perfect rhythm and the coconut trees gently sway against the breeze. If you love the sun and the sea, the beach is the right destination for you. So grab your sun tan lotion and your Frisbee and go frolicking to the beach.

Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast."

Just got back from six day stay at Disney. From all the new (New Fantasyland, Test Track and Legend of Captain Jack) to all the Christmas Festivities (decorations and crowds), I need another vacation to recover.
Here’s Lumiere…part of the sign for "Enchanted Tales with Belle."
