Sorry - no athletes on screen ;-)
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!
The Royal Victorian Regiment continued their training exercise with their new Grizzly II light armored vehicles. Tanks from the Royal Victorian Lancers also participated to ensure that the two vehicles can work seamlessly in the field.
Was riding my bike in the rice fields near my house when I took a break. I turned around and my photo was there.
I imported this pic to my iPad using the camera connection kit and edited it use several mobile apps and a wonderful free texture from Eddi van W.
Lavender (Lavandula) fields in the Cotswolds, the smell of Lavender was unbelivable while I was here shooting this.
me and my brother ditched our stupid museum tour (a museum about a war I've never even heard of) and spent our two hours laying and relaxing in this field. Scotland is so beautiful
i drive past this field on my way to and from school each day -- i love watching it change through the seasons...

First I want to thank my wife for this shot. :)
The wife and I enjoy taking hikes whenever we get a chance. I usually leave my camera gear at home, but this time she asked me to bring it. She also chose this location as well. I actually wanted to try the double exposure technique with her that is starting to get popular, but when we got here all that changed. Landscape mode kicked in once i saw the abundant fields of lupine. She was also patient enough to let me wait until sunset even though the sweet light didn't quite make it and spread out as i hoped.
Anyway here is vertical of the lupine patch tumbling down the water. This was one of the most technically challenging shots as the wind seemed to get stronger as time passed by. It was impossible to get a decent shutter speed without having to give up adequate DOF or a low ISO. So I decided to focus stack and hoped the wind wouldn't make it too difficult to blend later. At the end this is a combination of 6 seperate focused shots blended in CS5. Foreground stack was taken at f/5.6. Even then I couldn't get a fast enough SS to 1/100+ without having to go over ISO 800. Luckily my 5D3 has much better noise handling then my T2i.
Feedback and C&C always appreciated.
Did some Urbexing this weekend. This is the original Air Traffic Control Tower from when the airfield was operated under the U.S. Navy during WWII.
I grew up behind this airfield and my father worked here for 20+ years. Grumman built various aircraft components including pylons for the DC-10 fleets of which my father worked on.
Fields of giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers grow on fifty acres of rolling hills in Carlsbad, California. In the distance is the Pacific Ocean.   BEST VIEWED LARGE
