Anlässlich des 25-jährigen Bestehens der Ufa-Filmstudios kam 1943 – also Mitten im Zweiten Weltkrieg – der mit grossem Aufwand und Starbesetzung produzierte Farbfilm «Münchhausen» in die Kinos. Er erzählte – wie passend für einen vom Propagandaminister persönlich in Auftrag gegebenen Film - die Lebensgeschichte des bekannten und populären «Lügenbarons» Hieronymus von Münchhausen. Der Film sollte ausdrücklich ein Unterhaltungs- und kein Propagandafilm sein. Das Drehbuch schrieb der eigentlich mit Berufsverbot belegte Schriftsteller Erich Kästner unter Pseudonym. Einige Dialoge enthalten trotz strenger Zensur potentiell subversive Äusserungen. So antwortet Münchhausen seinem Diener Christian, als dieser bei einem Blick auf die Uhr des Barons feststellt, entweder müsse die Uhr kaputt sein, oder die Zeit selber: «Die Zeit ist kaputt, Christian.»
Mehr ist auch heute nicht zu sagen.

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Ufa film studios, the color film "Münchhausen," produced at great expense and with a star-studded cast, was released in 1943 - in the middle of World War II. It told the life story of the well-known and popular "Liar Baron" Hieronymus von Münchhausen - as was fitting for a film commissioned by the Minister of Propaganda himself. The film was expressly intended to be an entertainment film and not a propaganda film. The screenplay was written by the writer Erich Kästner, who was actually banned from his profession, under a pseudonym. Despite strict censorship, some dialogues contain potentially subversive statements. For example, Münchausen replies to his servant Christian when the latter, looking at the baron's watch, sais that either the watch must be broken, or time itself: "Time is broken, Christian."
That's all there is to say today, too.

When I found this quotation, my first thought was, "I fit the description!" Then I realized I had the perfect image in mind ...hence this posting.

Continuing the unofficial Rock island theme I seem to have stumbled into...
In its short life, this railroad has already been captured from every possible angle above ground level. That being said, there was no way I was going to pass up a chance to grab my own shots; it's simply too far from home for my typical day trips. Thus, after a Thursday afternoon on the Fordyce & Princeton in Arkansas, I worked my way east to Cleveland, MS, and drove the remaining 45 minutes early the next morning.
The Mississippi Delta Railroad's two Rock-painted geeps sun themselves on a quiet Friday morning in Sumner, Mississippi. From the railroad's website: "The Mississippi Delta Railroad, MSDR, based in Sumner, MS, operates a total of 85 miles of track in Northwest MS from a connection with the Canadian National Railway at Swan Lake, MS." Unfortunately, the railroad didn't turn a wheel - except for a hi-rail truck - but it was worth a stop to get these while still clean and fresh. Just had to wait a couple hours for the shadows to recede a bit. Note NS (ex-SOU) MoW caboose #500000 behind the power, across the street.
A fitting end to my 2020 tour, because the first clouds I had seen all week started to roll in later in the morning and this was pretty much the end of it all.

I made this image using an IR-converted camera with a 590nm filter. I like the color results in channel-swapped images. They're familiar, and yet somehow unreal. Like finding a new dimension or an entirely new season. Helps to see with fresh eyes.

I've got several folders full of photos that have not yet made the flickr "cut". It's not that they're bad images or that they displease me. The problem is that at any given moment, they just don't seem to fit in. And for me, the concept of fitting in is a moving target. What fits today may not fit tomorrow. And when something finally does fit, it may be totally too late. Just like a witty comeback that does not occur until days after someone says something to you. For me it's often a seasonal issue involving, for example, winter photos that seem wholly out of place once spring arrives. I prefer my photostream reflects the current moment, at least visually in terms of time of year. It's one of many limitations I place upon publication of photos that fortunately has no impact on my creation of them.
This photo's moment finally arrived this morning. A sunset view of nascent winter wheat, barely three inches tall, but appearing to tower under a twilight sky. I love seeing the individuality of the thin stalks. They work together to provide a monolith of green when viewed from a distance. Yet up close, each one seems to express its own shape and character. As always, shooting scenes of vibrant color under diminished lighting appeals to my sense of understating the obvious aspect in favor of a lesser one. It's my way of fitting in.
This probably won't appeal to everyone, but tough..... I like it. And the title pretty much wrote itself.

Okay... I know my brain is playing way too much... I need to stick to photography. :-)
I made this shot near Hohnstein castle in the Elbe Sandstone mountains. The conditions didn't develop as I was hoping, unfortunately. And so I was already on my way back home. As I did turn the car I saw this terrific sky. So I quickly parked the car and simply walked speedily in that direction hoping to find anything to combine with the sky. Off course I had to walk uphill all the time, sometimes everything is fitting. Here I am, exhausted, on a farm track, five minutes before the party was over. I like it.
Diese Aufnahme entstand in der Nähe der Burg Hohnstein im Elbsandsteingebirge. Leider hatten sich die Verhältnisse bei Sonnenuntergang nicht so entwickelt wie ich wollte und ich macht mich bereits auf dem Heimweg. Als ich das Auto gewendet hatte sah ich plötzlich diesen grandiosen Himmel. Also schnell das Auto gestoppt und zügig einfach in die Richtung gelaufen, in der Hoffung irgendwas zu finden, was ich mit dem Himmel kombinieren kann. Natürlich ging’s die ganze Zeit bergauf, manchmal passt es einfach. Und hier bin nun, ausgepowert, auf einem Feldweg, fünf Minuten bevor der Spass vorbei war. Mir gefällt es.

Mary's Shell was installed on Cleveleys' beach opposite Jubilee Gardens on the 23rd September 2013. The concept models were beautifully developed and crafted by Chris Brammall and his team. A remarkable achievement, culminating in the 9 metres long, 4 metres high stainless steel structure.
The project was particularly complex as the finished sculpture is placed 30 metres out into the sea meaning at times it is covered by the tide. This proved quite a challenge when fitting. The complex Conch shell is made from stainless steel with a blast finish and weighs a staggering 17 tonnes.
Recently the field of theoretical cosmology has been enervated by the suggestion that our universe is the mirror image of another one stretching back in time before the Big Bang (see, for example, www.research.ed.ac.uk/en/publications/icpti-symmetric-uni... ).
Intrigued, I set out to test whether this was observable in practice. After a quick calculation on the back of an old envelope (cigarette packets now being not Politically Correct) I worked out that conditions would be favourable for an experiment in the period around the vernal equinox for my latitude (51N). At this time the angles of the Earth’s gravitational field, the neutrino flux from the sun and a local EM field could be arranged to the optimum.
So, setting a sufficiently powerful Tesla coil in a glass envelope with an inert gas (I used Nitrogen), I tried it out.
And it worked!
Sometimes I could actually see the dim reflection of the alternate universe appear in the glass capsule, but perhaps the best result was this one where I managed to create a wormhole bridging the paired universes.
If you look carefully at the image though you might observe that the energetic feedback created by the wormhole burnt out my coil… such are the sacrifices of science…

Storytelling idiocy aside, this image was one of the fun results of an evening spent with a local friendly group of photographers taking images of lightbulbs on tablets (and other things but I didn’t get that far :( ).
I used a clear glass bulb on my iPaddle which I set up to show some very colourful graphic images that I had generated using Midjourney (I finally found something useful to do with that toybox… The text prompt for this one, if you are interested, was ‘Close - up macro HDR photograph of the centre of mirrored 3D circle sculptures, overlapping rainbow circular fractal, vivid rainbow colours, graphic abstract’).
The bulb was lying on its side at an angle resting on the bayonet fitting so I made the canvas larger and rotated it. Starting in Capture One I dropped the greys to black using a levels adjustment and played with the Clarity and a little Dehaze. In Affinity I sharpened it with High Pass/Linear blend and a bit of Unsharp mask and enriched the colour. Then quite a lot of work with inpainting to remove the vestiges of the iPad and a lot of dust.
PS I forgot to mention that this was a focus stack of ten images, though I suspect only four or five contributed anything useful. The camera did the focusing and I used Helicon Focus for the stacking, which I've not really done before (it was fast, worked with raws and produced a dng output).
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Easter and 100x :)
So proud of Antonio and how far he has come since he started at the new school in September 2021. I have been trying to get him out of mainstream since he started school, he has struggled so much with fitting in, being bullied and not thriving due to him not being taught the right way for him. I have had to pull him from 2 different schools due to severe bullying and the teachers being unable to deal with it. Anyway, for his last year in secondary education, he finally got a place in a wonderful special needs school, and is doing brilliantly. Despite having a year off during lockdown he is set to do his GCSE’s and is applying for a course in ICT in college. His confidence is soaring, he is doing amazingly in his studies and most importantly he looks forward to going to school for the first time and doesn’t get bullied.
Daniel and I attended parents evening recently and we received nothing but high praise from all his teachers, and they absolutely adore him. I’m the happiest proudest Mum ever.
He will always have challenges throughout his life but he has proved he can thrive if he is in the right environment. The college he will be attending is in the same building as his school so he is already familiar and comfortable with the environment. Photo taken by my amazing boyfriend, Daniel who’s support means a ton, we both love you loads.
Due to the strength shown by Antonio, I’m now under assessment myself at the grand old age of 40 something😂, something I should have done many years ago, but wasn’t aware I may be autistic! The process will probably take a long time but it will be nice to have some clarity.
Have a wonderful weekend, dear flickr friends. ❤️😘

Droplets from a kitchen faucet with a portable dishwasher attachment fitting.
It took a little finessing of the valve to get a decent drip from the faucet, and quite a few pictures to get a shot I liked. I got three streams going for an earlier batch, but was unable to duplicate that for the batch that yielded this picture.
