For one brief moment this sunrise glowed like fire from the sun. The clouds also took on an ominous significance that foreshadowed the rain that was to come. But in this moment all was calm on the Tamar (kanamaluka).
A Renaissance highlight in the Southwest of Germany.
Set in the scenic landscape of the Tauber valley, Weikersheim Palace (Schloss Weikersheim) lies at the heart of the small town of Weikersheim.
With its beautiful garden, the palace embodies the Renaissance ideal of a country estate.In 1586, Count Wolfgang of Hohenlohe took up residence in the former moated castle, and promptly ordered the construction of a new palace. With an unusual three-sided floorplan, the palace reflected the Renaissance style of the time, but foreshadowed the Baroque era that was to come.
The most distinctive feature of the palace grounds is the many Baroque statues that populate the garden.

Thanks for your kind visit, dear friends.
The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep,
And round the pebbly beaches far and wide
I heard the first wave of the rising tide
Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep;
A voice out of the silence of the deep,
A sound mysteriously multiplied
As of a cataract from the mountain's side,
Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep.
So comes to us at times, from the unknown
And inaccessible solitudes of being,
The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul;
And inspirations, that we deem our own,
Are some divine foreshadowing and foreseeing
Of things beyond our reason or control.
Longfellow's sonnet.

A few posts ago I included an exterior shot of Durham Cathedral . This is a shot of the Nave of the cathedral . You can see the massive pillars that hold up the ceiling of this Norman Church. In this shot the carving on the pillars is of lozenge design some of the other pillars use a motif of chevrons . There are rather a lot of people on the shot but the young woman in front of the pillar shows its scale quite well
Durham Cathedral is one measure of the swift and profound transformation brought about by the Norman Conquest in England in the eleventh and twelfth centuries: not only a new art and architectural style—what is variously referred to as Anglo-Norman or English Romanesque—but an unprecedented and almost military-industrial mode of construction.
The Cathedral was built between the late 11th and early 12th century to house the bodies of St. Cuthbert (634-687 AD) (the evangeliser of Northumbria) and the Venerable Bede (672/3-735 AD). It attests to the importance of the early Benedictine monastic community and is the largest and finest example of Norman architecture in England. The innovative audacity of its vaulting foreshadowed Gothic architecture. The Cathedral lies within the precinct of Durham Castle, first constructed in the late eleventh century under the orders of William the Conqueror.

“To crave and to have are as like as a thing and its shadow. For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly as when one longs to taste it, and when is the taste refracted into so many hues and savors of ripeness and earth, and when do our senses know any thing so utterly as when we lack it? And here again is a foreshadowing -- the world will be made whole. For to wish for a hand on one's hair is all but to feel it. So whatever we may lose, very craving gives it back to us again.”

It's definitely monday. Bit of a case of the mean reds. Just want to go back to bed. I'm quite fond of this image, though. It might be the reflection. It might be the period seating.

The Eye That Never Sleeps - Dhormorth by Daniel Arrhakis (2021)
With the music :Vyapada by Secession Studios
A figure moves slowly in the shadows, like a black cloak that spreads wherever it goes, in a space of time between the past and the future, which few can distinguish amidst the mists of an uncertain destiny.
Dhormorth ... a former guardian and master of the last Dark Sorcerers of Krudhyn, with the power to pass invisible they are only detectable by their shadow ... a dark legend that many prefer to remain lost in the labyrinth of times.
Without a body and much less a face, it seems to move with the breezes of the winter evenings before the storms, insinuating itself into men's thoughts and feeding their most hidden and secret dark desires ... and fears.
Legend has it that the Sorcerers are blind and always walked with a black crow with feathers with highlights of metallic blue, which are their eyes.
Truth or lie... what is certain is that black crows have been seen more frequently in recent times in the kingdom, as bad omens that foreshadow dark times...
Stark and beautiful scene near the end of the Plain of Six Glaciers trail (above Lake Louise; Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada). Victoria Glacier sits in the valley to the right (and includes much that looks like it is just rock on the valley floor), while Lefroy Glacier sits mostly under rubble in the valley to the left. Mt Lefroy rises starkly between these two glaciers, while the heights of Mt Victoria are visible on the right rising behind Victoria Glacier. Just a few miles away at Lake Louise it was a hot summer day but here among the glaciers some remnant or foreshadowing of winter still held sway among the ice and rocks. I do not normally prefer black and white photography, but for this particular scene that format better captured the stark drama and beauty of this scene.
As photographers, we chase light, sometimes we settle, sometimes we’re caught unaware, and sometimes the sky erupts into brilliant display. Today, for me, it was all of the above. I arrived on a scene with a cloud pouring off the cliff above me, right down into the valley beneath. Unfortunately the scene was coated in this heavy mist by the time I was setup, and had pulled my composition together. I stuck to my guns, no time to get anywhere else recompose, I had begun contemplating just leaving with the white out before me. Just as I had decided… the sky parted just a little, golden glow foreshadowing. I had to recompose again, just a little. I was granted my own little window into the valley beyond.

Birnam Wood | The Tragedy of Macbeth
Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no care
Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are.
Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until
Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill
Shall come against him.
That will never be.
Who can impress the forest, bid the tree
Unfix his earth-bound root? Sweet bodements! good!
Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood
Of Birnam rise, and our high-plac'd Macbeth
Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath
To time and mortal custom.
Stand with Ukraine!
Sitting in the calm grass with foxes jumping all around her , she noticed something."" A skull? , How unusual this is a an eternal realm ." Seems like a foreshadowing for evil.

Harbinger Of Fate
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
When I was young I was different
there was more inside of me
so alone yet a sense of purpose
the guiding light of the order nurtured me
daunted by the truth revealed
what am I? what's my destiny?
a million souls, the priest incarnate
I am the one, I am the astral beast
I am the wicked, the dealer of fate
Harbinger of sorrow
I'm the assassin, the dealer of fate
Framing man's tomorrow
I thrive as the lone traveler
Trough the folds of time and space
the chosen one to foreshadow
the hand of god will eradicate this race
I am the past, I'm cure for sorrow
I am the now, I'm the every age
I'm the future ending mans tomorrow
the hand of god, the harbinger of fate
Kingdoms will fall, empires crumble
seizing on the politics of hate
I am the one, the devil in the details
the hand of god, the harbinger of fate

A Crater Hound’s arrival is usually foreshadowed by huge dust clouds at the horizon.
Line 23 at the bus stop.
The Crater Hound contains seats for ten passengers, but you can easily cram in a few more. The whole roof can be opened.
A green "H" on yellow ground is the common sign for a bus top in Germany. "H" is for "Haltestelle".
Lake State OCS-13 is about 30 miles into its day as it passes the C&O-era searchlights south of Holly, Michigan. One wonders what conversations occurred on the train as only a few weeks later a new mast was installed to replace these and a few other signals along the line between Saginaw and Wixom. Needless to say, I'm glad I got a train here. And an OCS move at that. I regret not visiting the line sooner. The railroad is chock full of cool signals and their freight trains look good passing them.
Here is another one of the abandoned houses at the historic Henry River Mill Village in Hickory, North Carolina. This was the film location for “District 12” in the movie “Hunger Games.”
When there is a clear sky, I sometimes try to include the sun in the composition and adjust the lens settings so as to get a starburst.

With an SD40T-2 in the lead, five Southern Pacific locomotives lead Rio Grande train No. 144 through Mesa near Lehi, Utah the morning of June 15, 1989. Rio Grande Industries acquired the Southern Pacific 10 months earlier, and this was a preview of what was in store.
The building is the William Hawrelak Park Pavilion. In the winter it serves as a place to warm up and put on your skates. The lake is cleared of snow so you can skate. I took this in October during an early snowfall.
Our old road on a beautiful early winter day. Wispy clouds in the sky and mild temps--a foreshadowing for the draught that engulfed California over the past year. Fortunately we've had some heavy autumn rain this year--hope it keeps up. I do miss this area.

Water-level view of Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, southern Iceland. May the peacefulness of this scene foreshadow a less violent 2016.
We stopped off in Durham on our way to Newcastle sadly it was grey wet and cold. Durham is one of my favourite cathedrals and one of the oldest in England . It does lacks the delicacy of later Gothic churches looking more like a fortress but its a magnificent building . When I post a shot of the interior you will see the remarkable massive pillars that hold up the ceiling . This shot from the river is a lovely view though a brighter day would have been nice

The Cathedral lies within the precinct of Durham Castle, first constructed in the late eleventh century under the orders of William the Conqueror.
The Castle was the stronghold and residence of the Prince-Bishops of Durham, who were given virtual autonomy in return for protecting the northern boundaries of England, and thus held both religious and secular power.
The Cathedral and Castle are located on a peninsula formed by a bend in the River Wear with steep river banks constituting a natural line of defence. These were essential both for the community of St. Cuthbert, who came to Durham in the tenth century in search of a safe base (having suffered periodic Viking raids over the course of several centuries), and for the Prince-Bishops of Durham, protectors of the turbulent English frontier.
In 1986 the cathedral and Durham Castle were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The 'Old Man' is perhaps the most photographed location on The Isle of Skye. The pinnacle of rock being a prime example of the Trotternish landslip.
I was not fit enough with my ongoing ankle issues to climb up to The Old Man for myself but a short walk from my campsite in Torvaig afforded this awesome view of him in the distance. In the early evening light I just loved that the ancient collapsed hill fort wall of Dun Gerashader foreshadowed the distant landslip.
Enjoy!
Under brooding autumn skies — that, in retrospect, may have been foreshadowing what was to come — a pair of Ontario Northland EMD SD40-2s hustle Timmins to Englehart train no. 308 past the line-side sentinels at Swastika, Ontario.
Unbeknownst to the photographer, less than 6 months after this photo was taken, the unique 1967-constructed station and surrounding signals would be reduced to a heap of rubble.
With the demolition of the town's station, Swastika not only lost a piece of its railroading heritage but a sense of character. All too often, the railroad landscape of today seems to become more and more sterile as the aesthetic of place is drowned out by ubiquity. An unexpected demolition such as this illustrates the point and serves as a reminder that in railroading, the only constant is change.
My husband and I traveled through snow, sunshine, ice, Prairies, mountains, deserts, one Canadian province and 6 States - a total of 3,000 kms, one way to spend some time in this incredible Paradise.
We arrived as the sun hit its peak and we embraced the welcoming heat.
The show began with a visit from a coyote and a small herd of deer that chased him away. A lone buck meandered across the road. Hawks sat perched in the trees that resembled those in the Serengeti. As the Golden Hour approached, the tall, thick grasses illuminated a fiery orange - foreshadowing something that was about to transpire...
We were thrilled to spend a good four hours in this wonderful place before the sun disappeared and we made a promise that we would return, early the next morning, as the sun showed itself again, revealing the wealth of nature within this magnificent sanctuary.
This was taken on 11 May 2011, a couple of weeks after I adopted her.
All the stress of her eight months of shelter life so far seemed to be coming out in frantic non-stop destructive energy and I began to wonder if I had made a terrible mistake and was in for a miserable 10-15 years!
But this momentary glance into the camera foreshadowed her wise and deep nature.
Cada coisa era cada coisa e inteira, na união de todas as suas infinitas partes. Mas e as sombras e os reflexos, esses que não se integravam em forma alguma, onde ficavam guardados? Para onde ia a parte das coisas que não cabia na própria coisa?

Lilja is the youngest of the trolls and she's still just a child. Last summer, she came out from her hiding place. She loves the colors and scents of the flowers especially when bees and butterflies fly among branches. She can be seen in the forests of the Costal Maine Botanical Gardens, in Boothbay, Maine.
The trolls are created by Thomas Dambo who lives and works in Copenhagen. Dambo has become one of the fastest-growing personalities in the Scandinavian art world. As a child, he would scavenge his neighborhood for discarded wood for his projects, carting it home on his bicycle. This childhood love of “treasure” hunting certainly foreshadowed his now global troll hunts.
Right as it was getting too dark to take a photo on the first day of our trip to Arizona this Rivoli’s Hummingbird came in and posed for us. I didn’t think I would have enough shutter speed to catch the gorget flash but, as luck would have it, this one turned out. It was a nice foreshadowing of the bounty that our trip would yield.

While perhaps strictly Classical in outlook, it seems to also foreshadow the Art Deco architectural aesthetic. So while the place was only two storeys high, it looked taller because of the symmetrical placement of tall vertical windows interspersed with vertical brick bands on the street facade.
Worth also noting is the interior, which shows us a spare space with the well-placed light fixtures hanging from a high ceiling, a floor with an interesting pattern of diamonds inside squares alternating with straight lines, and, at the very end of the room, a wall covered with an unusual geometric diamond pattern with a clock in its centre.
This Peterborough Bell Exchange Building has been an ubiquitous presence in our downtown for nearly a century, yet despite being one of the most visible buildings (now right near to the downtown bus terminal and the numerous pedestrians taking the shortcut from Simcoe to Hunter St.) it also probably the least seen. It is a chameleon, blending well into the older 19th century streetscape, yet it still manages to retain some kind of minimalist personality.
The weather in Michigan has turned decidedly cooler over the past week ... which has ignited my "Fall Fever".
I can't wait to get out there and capture the fall colors! I think I enjoy it even more than photographing lighthouses (or at least it's a toss up).
This photo was taken a few years ago (2005, I think) with my Lumix FZ-10 at Dutton Shadyside Park in Dutton, MI.
