And remember, there will be no vaccine against the loss of biodiversity and global warming...
we all will have to change a lot in the way we live and think!
And when I see the global behaviour during the current pandemic, it doesn't make me very confident ...
If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I’d be picking roses for a lifetime. – Swedish Proverb
My aunt is starting a new chapter in her life today. I know it's hard but it's the right thing to do.
The house on the left was her house for 30 years.
Eagles - "Hotel California" lyrics
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! "
Symbolism of the rose
The rose has been the flower of love and romance for centuries. It is not without reason that it is the most sold flower during Valentine's Day. The rose has extensive symbolism and differs per color but also per number.
Pink rose: Timid love -‘I watch you from afar.’
In the back: Autumn leaves....
Or maybe Free!!
A very unexpected find on the beach... a boat garage complete with high speed boat.... in pieces!!
Most likely caused by on of the many storms that hit Long Island...
Hope they had insurance!!
Beautiful and private beach front property!!!!
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.
Eight for a wish,
Nine for a kiss,
Ten for a bird,
You must not miss.

Spot the two birds :)
For a change, this is a new (outside!) photo, taken just a few days ago at the wonderful Britzer Garten, one of Berlin's biggest and most beautiful public parks (please check my album for more "Britz bliss", if you like).
For better dynamic range, I've used exposure bracketing (three images), pre-processed the images in DXO PhotoLab (sharpness and DeepPrime denoising only), from which I directly went into HDR Efex Pro to combine the images. I'm trying to get away from the annual Adobe subscription, and combining images from an exposure bracketing series in HDR Efex instead of Lightroom is one step into that direction. Unfortunately, whenever I think I can finally leave Adobe behind for good they come up with improvements such as the new "supersize" function (now also available in LR), a ton of new presets for LR, and other interesting stuff (and I'm still used to the LR/PS workflow, and the layers in PS). Well, maybe I'll be ready next year ;)
Extra sliding was done in Color Efex, where I added some "Brilliance and Warmth" and a tiny bit of "Contrast Color Range".
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and have a nice week ahead!

I died for beauty, but was scarce
Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room.
He questioned softly why I failed?
"For beauty," I replied.
"And I for truth - the two are one;
We brethren are," he said.
And so, as kinsmen met a-night,
We talked between the rooms,
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names.

We are visiting Vietnam this week. For the Thanksgiving day, we took a day trip from Hanoi to Ninh Binh, where it is considered as Ha Long Bay on land. The weather was wet and miserable but we were able to climb the 500 steps to the mountain top of Hang Mua. The view from there was well worth our efforts. If you zoom in on the steps, you might be able to see a few other souls braving the rain and wind also.
