Februay 2009: I started a new group Reinhardswald to show the whole area.
Seriously:
"Beberbeck" is part of an agricultural area utilized for farming. This area is located in Hessian in the middle of a forest which is called "Reinhardswald". Many people (but not crowded) use this area for local recreation like hiking.
Only a few people do live there, most of them in an old people`s home.
Now the goverment plans to build there a big hotel resort with round about 6.000 beds. Golf courses shall be created, lakes and stuff like this.
If realized it would be the biggest resort in Germany.
Conservationist fear that this plans will destroy the nature. They worry about that lot of water would be needed for hotels and golf courses. That could lower the groundwater level. Thousands of people around get their drinking water out of this area.
There are only small streets through the forest - not big enough for the upcoming trafic.
It's questionable if 6.000 beds can be filled. It's not a sunny area, no golf sport is possible during winter season.
The old people's home would be closed, they do not fit the modern world.
At the moment the goverment is looking for investors. More than 2.000.000 Euro are gone for questionable preliminary work.
Looks like we change intact nature into a dubious project followed by ruins of abandoned hotels.
Guess, what I would prefer?
Für die Deutschsprachigen gibt einen sehr schönen Link der weitergehende Infos zu dem geplanten Projekt liefert.
Möge sich jeder selbst ein Urteil bilden!
a little house in saskatchewan, where i might add jim told jack he was going to leave me there!!....:( just like the old ford laying in the pond!!!
It was a pleasant evening, and we decided to hit the road for a drive towards Barotha hydro power project. To our disappointment, there wasn’t anything interesting to explore, so we drove around the Barotha lake (water reservoir for power generation). While passing a hillock on road side, my children had the idea to climb it. We stopped there for a while and climbed to the top ---- Wow!! --- The other side of hillock presented what a splendid view!!
Heavy fighting here on July 2nd, 1863 between Union and Confederate troops during the Civil War. A very serene, quiet, peaceful place now.
I must`ve walked around this whole field looking for a good composition....
I really loved the way cut down barley curved into the shot :-)

I was supposed to be attending a lecture by Roy Hattersley but couldn't find the venue. As I had a roll of Velvia 50 and a convenient Forest of Bowland I went out to take some pictures.
This is exposure number 8 on the first roll of slide film that I ever used. I fitted an ND grad to retain detail in the clouds.
[Stirling, Scotland] The historically meaningful castle of Stirling from where Robert de Bruce ruled Scotland, over the green hill and nearby fields of the Royal Gardens, under a gloomy cloudy sky.

Monarda punctata (Spotted Beebalm) detail.
Reminiscent of a fashionable collar, the ruff, from the baroque era. The garment was worn by both men and women. It was a detachable, starched collar made of linen or lace supported by silk covered wire.

On the left, Horseman 45HF (4x5 format, 1983-85) and on the right the Horseman VH (6x9 format, 1975-?). Despite the difference in formats and about 10 years in manufacture, the front standards are identical. Both use the same 80 x 80 mm lens boards, allowing the photographer to shoot multiple formats with only one set of lenses. I own a Horseman 6x12 roll film back which is how I normally shoot the 45HF.
The 45HF has several refinements lacking in the VH. One visible here is the bubble level, a nice feature.
Dinner was all prepped and in the fridge (I made a 3-pound eye of round roast), so we spent Thanksgiving afternoon up along Flushing Bay, seeing the empty sights.
Enh, it's not Shea ... but I kind of DO like the architecture.
Sunrise from Round Bald, Roan Highlands.
I made it up on the mountain well before sunrise and searched around a long time trying to find a composition I was happy with, I even hiked up onto Jane Bald before the sunrise but ended up making my way back to Round Bald. I didn't see this comp until the sun came up and started lighting up the grasses, by that time I had almost let the sun get too high in the sky since I had to switch back to my wide-angle lens.
Looks better viewed large, click on the arrows in the upper right or just hit "L".
Welcome to Wednesday, one and all. The Xmas week is disappearing rapidly in the rear view mirror of life and everyone's bracing a shoulder against the start of the new year and all the change it promises. If you're visiting the south coast of NSW this summer, I hope you manage to get down to the beach for a couple of sunrises while you're here - there's really nothing like them. Should you visit Seven Mile Beach before our planet's rotation orients this solar system's star above the horizon you can enjoy views like this. If you're lucky you'll also see dolphins, sea eagles and out-of-shape joggers trying to make good on a new years resolution. Hell, you might even see me! Imagine how amazing that would be!!!! Alright team, on with your day, and remember never, ever make eye contact while eating a banana :)
