Thank you for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HMM

Here he is standing at dawn, like an insect among giants of sandstone that are already standing here bevor humans even found any term to express time. His eyes are wandering across a landscape what is so breathtaking and so multi-faceted that he knows, he will not be able to conceive it completely in his entire life. Still he will try it, over and over again. Because its worth it.

Da steht er nun in der Morgendämmerung, gleich einem Insekt unter Giganten aus Sandstein welche schon hier waren, bevor der Mensch enen Begriff für Zeit gefunden hatte. Er lässt seinen Blick über eine Landschaft schweifen die so atemberaubend und so vielschichtig ist, dass er weiß, er wird sie in seinem ganzen Leben nicht voll erfassen können. Trotzdem wird er es versuchen, immer wieder. Weil es sich lohnt.

Abgeordnetenhaus für den Deutschen Bundestag,

Wilhelmstraße 65

Architekten: Lieb + Lieb Architekten BDA

Bauherr: Bundesamt für Bauwesen und Raumordnung

"Im April 2008 begannen die Umbauarbeiten an einem Bürogebäude im Berliner Parlamentsviertel an der Kreuzung Dorotheenstraße/Wilhelmstraße. Die einstige Außenstelle des ehemaligen Ministeriums für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten der DDR wurde vollständig entkernt, aufgestockt und mit einer gläsernen Fassade versehen. Damit soll eine der zentralen Kreuzungen des Parlamentsviertels ein modernes Erscheinungsbild erhalten.

Der Bau Wilhelmstraße 65 wurde von 1974 bis 1976 als standardisiertes Bürogebäude des Außenministeriums der DDR errichtet. Es wurde grundsaniert, damit der Deutsche Bundestag es dauerhaft nutzen kann. In den neunziger Jahren beherbergte das Gebäude unter anderem die Botschaft Afghanistans und Büros der Bundestagsverwaltung."

I was intrigued by the multiple branches that emanated from this single tree as it seemed to move across the frame. Some more arboreal wonder from Little Wittenham Wood, South Oxfordshire.

Looking upwards at our multi glitter ball ornament salvaged from an M&S Christmas window display.

It is around 8ft in height. The largest ball is around 1mtr in diameter with additional balls around half that.

I missed the shot of my better half carrying the whole thing in the city centre ... visually bizarre.

Macro Mondays theme Jewelry

The faceted stones of my favourite necklace photographed lying across the top of the petals of a pink peony flower.

Jewelry or jewellery? This is confusing as I would never spell it that way. Jewellery is the correct spelling in Britain (and in Australia)... which to me is obviously the correct way (even though I am severely dyslexic) 😊

Width of frame is 3-4cm.

Happy Macro Mondays! 😊

#WindowWednesday

It's been a while since I've posted something for Window Wednesday. This is another one from the archives, photographed at Easter last year. It's a detail of the interesting façade of the "Axel-Springer-Neubau", the new building of the Axel Springer publishing house complex. A large part of that new building's exterior consists of window facets that create a modern, almost spaceship-like look.

Axel-Springer-Neubau, also called Axel Springer Campus, was designed by Rem Koolhaas (*1944) of OMA Architects, Rotterdam, and was opened in 2020. Here's a link to the OMA/project website if you are interested in taking a look at the entire building complex and the interior (I so wish it were possible to photograph there, too!):

Axel Cäsar Springer (*1912 in Hamburg, † 1985 in West Berlin) was a German newspaper proprietor who published a wide array of newspapers (both "serious" and yellow press), magazines (like the teen magazine "Bravo"), TV guides, and such.

I apologize for making myself so scarce on Flickr at the moment. I'm very busy with work.

HWW, and Happy Hump Day Everyone!
