Nothing more fulfilling, relaxing, rejuvenating and humbling than being in the mountains !
This is at the Himalayan town of Manali.
We friends, went to this valley for some adventure sports, but sadly the rain gods had their own games to play !
But nonetheless, the rains always add to the beauty of any time and place and these were the mountains :)
Maybe I'm less cool now, I don't know
I just want to live before I die ♫
I've found what I want - Fulfilled ♡♡
Beginnings always hide themselves in ends
Wishing you a happy and wish fulfilling New Year!

Its time to start something new,
And trust the magic of beginnings." by Layla

The Elephant Tree - Prosperous Pose
A dream fulfilled.
One of the shots I always wanted to do - and I tried a couple of times - but never found the right motorway, the right place to put the camera, the right amount of cars driving along, the right amount of light...
Maybe today was the day and this is the one! ;-)
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.

跟妳說好在這裡相見。從此這門一直為你打開。日復一日，年復一年，美麗的日落看了無數，就是不見你到來。
No matter how beautiful the sunset is, It can not fulfill all the broken promises.
Sans-Souci Palace
The palace was designed/built 1745 and 1747 to fulfill King Frederick's need for a private residence where he could relax away from the pomp and ceremony of the Berlin court.
Sanssouci ist ein Ensemble von Schlössern und Gärten in der ehemaligen Residenzstadt Potsdam. Es diente von 1747 bis 1918 als Sommersitz der preußischen Könige und deutschen Kaiser.
I wasn't going to make any posts. I intended to do a basic effort. I'd want to wish everyone a happy 2023 and write a regular post. But I got a bit carried away. Despite the recent chaos and hardship of life, I still wanted to take a moment for you.
Additionally, I didn't want to be corny, but New Years is all about being cheesy, so I can't avoid it.
I would like to take a moment to thank you all for being by my side and making my day better. Recently, things have been a little gloomy but also necessary, and you're always there to brighten my day with a funny or humorous post, your blog posts, or whatever.
The cliché part is now.
I desire for you to be in excellent health in 2023 because you can't really do anything without it. I also hope that you will be able to fulfill all of your wishes and achieve all of your ambitions in every aspect of your life, including your career, personal relationships or work in yourself, and love life.
So, my dear friends, here's wishing you all a magnificent year and nothing but joy in these new chapters of your lives.
Thank you and I adore you all.
I sincerely appreciate you being there ❤
Greetings for the 2nd of advent and may some of your whishes fulfill these days already.
Why not a large ice cream during shopping time?

Grüße zum 2. Advent -
und mögen sich bereits jetzt einige Wünsche von euch erfüllen.
Warum nicht einen großen Eisbecher in der Shopping-Pause?
Wishes are fulfilled!
I moved here a few days ago. Now the distance to the office is much longer than it was earlier... But it doesn't matter.
Next week is hot, officially +32C and even +35C. I love hot weather, it's perfect for me. Finally I can swim a lot in the lake: in the morning before work, in the lunch time, in the evening and even in the night! I love swimming in the night, that's amazing! 😍 What could be better!
It's also hot weather today. Time to swim and relax on the beach 😊

Good morning dear Flickr friends!
With drone photography, I was able to fulfill a long-cherished personal dream. The desire to "think outside the box". By this I mean, from a higher perspective, to finally make visible what was hidden from the normal perspective when taking pictures. In the photo I am on the small island "Love Island". It is not in the photo, but is located somewhat southwest of this section of the image. In front of us is the "Mettnau" peninsula, on the right it goes to the top. The front visible part of the lake is the "Zellersee". Behind the peninsula is the "Gnadensee", which is called "Markelfinger Winkel" at the end. A very quiet part of the lake that I like to go with kayak beginners. This part of the lake freezes over completely in winter and is then released for ice skating. However, it was a few years ago that the lake was frozen over. It may have been 4 or 5 years ago. I even published photos of the icy lake. Taking pictures from a height of 100 meters is simply wonderful and, thanks to the professional drone technology, a brilliant thing. If you feel inspired: Please fly carefully and observe the local laws and regulations and, like me, practice flying for hours, days and weeks on the open field without any support. In vacation countries, you sometimes need expensive permits and papers to fly. Without this, for example, Thailand faces a 5-year prison sentence. You should take that seriously. But enough of "if" and "but".
Happy weekend ahead!

This summer, we fulfilled a big wish of mine: Returning to Helgoland, the island of the Northern Gannets. These birds are so impressing and beautiful, majestic and fascinating - I could watch them for weeks. Every year, they build a breeding colony at the cliffs and allows the people to watch them raising their chicks.

We have fulfilled a long-cherished wish and made a trip to Namibia. A unforgettable experience on these Africa trips are game drives in the savannah. In the evening it is particularly exciting - you can get a rhino in front of the lens - and the incomparable African sunset with the typical acacia trees.
Wir haben uns einen lang gehegten Wunsch erfüllt und eine Reise nach Namibia unternommen. Ein Muss bei diesen Afrika-Reisen sind Pirschfahrten in der Savanne. Am Abend ist es besonders spannend - da bekommt man schon mal ein Nashorn vor die Linse - und dazu den unvergleichbaren afrikanischen Sonnenuntergang mit den typischen Akazienbäumen.

"God painted the hills in splendor today;
He tucked every sign of winter away.
The brown of the earth, each path that we trod,
Kissed by the wonderful magic of God.
God painted the world in a beautiful green;
He touched every hilltop - each valley below And added a sunbeam to set it aglow.
Then roses and rainbows and breezes that sigh
So much hearts can cherish - a bright, smiling eye,
Life's lovely dreams that the heavens fulfill
Because God painted His beautiful Hills."

Have a MARVELOUS day my FRIENDS!!!
It's exciting and fulfilling to walk on new lanes and virgin paths. Contemporary it can be very exhausting and even dangerous too. Thats why its not only making sense but sometimes its even necessary following trails others left behind for us. When we do this, we have to be cautious and keep two things in mind (at least two). For one thing, we need to be attentive, where these trails are guiding us too. We need to look up again and again asking ourselves if we wanted to get here and if its good for ourselves to be here. If its not like this, we need to realign, change the direction and leave the trail. For the second thing, we need to make sure that we don't follow our own footprints because in that case, we are going in circles and will never reach somewhere.
Es ist sehr aufregend und erfüllend neue Wege zu gehen und auf jungfräulichen Pfaden zu wandern. Gleichzeitig kann dies jedoch auch äußerst anstrengend und manchmal sogar gefährlich sein. Deshalb macht es nicht nur Sinn sondern ist manchmal sogar nötig auch Spuren zu folgen, die andere für uns hinterlassen haben. Wenn wir das tun, müssen wir jedoch achtsam sein und zwei Dinge beachten (mindestens zwei). Zum einen müssen wir aufmerksam sein, wo die Spuren uns hin leiten. Wir müssen immer wieder aufblicken und uns fragen, ob wir hier hin wollten und ob es uns hier gut geht. Ist dem nichts so, gilt es sich neu zu orientieren, die Richtung zu wechseln und die Spur zu verlassen. Zum anderen müssen wir uns vergewissern, dass es nicht unsere eigene Spur ist, der wir folgen, denn ist sie das, laufen wir im Kreis und kommen nie irgendwo an.

This weekend, I took care of Leonie, my best friend's daughter. She was traveling professionally. In the evening we went for a walk. It was so quiet and wonderful warm air. Suddenly Leonie said: "Greta, Greta, you have to take a picture, the sky is like honey!" I had to smile, but as usual Leonie was somehow right. :) I took the picture and showed it to her on the small monitor of the camera. Leonie sighed and said, "Too bad the sky is not pink!" At home I fulfilled her wish with the pink sky. I already posted this photo, you can see it in the first comment.
Thanks for viewing and commenting and fave, Leonie and I really appreciate that very much :-)
Happy Tuesday everyone!
About Corfe Castle
Corfe Castle is a stunning 11th century castle in Dorset, that has fulfilled a number of roles throughout its thousand-year history – from royal residence to military stronghold. Today Corfe Castle provides an atmospheric look into Britain’s medieval past, with its picturesque views and imposing structure attracting visitors from far and wide.
Corfe Castle history
The current incarnation of Corfe Castle was built by William the Conqueror in around 1066, although even before this the site was of great historical importance. Legend tells that when a Saxon hall stood on the site, the young Edward the Martyr was murdered there in 978 during a plot to position his half-brother Ethelred ‘the Unready’ as monarch. Edward was later canonised, with his feast day falling on the anniversary of his death – 18 March.
Following its construction as a medieval fortress, Corfe Castle would be expanded and altered over the coming centuries, especially in the 12th century by Edward I who built the imposing keep, and in the 13th century under King John. Not only did John further fortify the castle, he also used it as a prison and royal residence. Sold by Elizabeth I in 1572, Corfe Castle became a grand private home, first to Sir Christopher Hatton and later by Sir John Bankes in 1635.
The demise of Corfe Castle and the cause of its current ruined state came with the English Civil War. Having survived one siege in 1643, it would fall to another only 3 years later, before being slighted – or intentionally damaged – by the Parliamentarians. Its ruins were eventually handed back to the Bankes family, who retained it for 350 years before in 1982 gifting it to the National Trust.
Corfe Castle today
Today, Corfe Castle remains under the remit of the National Trust and is open to the public. Its romantic ruins sit high atop a natural ‘motte’, with many of its original features still well preserved. The castle’s towering 12th century keep may be explored, while a number of its gatehouses remain in good condition and allow visitors to walk through centuries of history.
Corfe Castle’s role as a military stronghold is also echoed in many of its hidden features – murder holes, fallen walls, and arrow loops to name a few. Stunning views of the village below may too be enjoyed from the castle’s elevated position, as well as the picturesque Purbeck Hills that surround it.
Five blocks from our house, this Cathedral is the oldest and largest church in our city. It always offers so many photographic possibilities.
From deep in my archives and re-edited, this is from 2012, just one year after I took up this fulfilling hobby :)
A kind neighbor called me over to his home last evening, alerting me to this lovely owl that was peeking out of one of his backyard evergreen trees.
The owl allowed me to spend 15 minutes with it while I fired off many good captures. It never moved and showed no signs of agitation, and I kept a quiet and respectful distance across the yard.
This seems to be an adult brown morph (Northern). There are also grey and red morphs in this species.
Screech owls are very small and their body size range from 6 to 10 inches in length. Proportionally, their heads are quite large and, since they have such short necks, that head size seems even larger :)
The light was poor and quickly fading. Fortunately I had the house to lean against for a bit of stability as I handheld my heavy gear. I captured this image at 1/5 sec. shutter speed, though it took many attempts to pull this off :)
This experience was a real thrill for me since I have never photographed a wild owl in the 12 years that I have been doing nature photography.
Thank you, kind neighbor, for your thoughtful invite into your backyard for this fulfilling experience!

"So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: 'I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.'" - Matthew 13:35.
How do words, images and even music come together? How do our senses join in creating an inner symphony that has meaning and instills a sense of the mystery of our world?
The words quoted above come from the mouth of Jesus. I'm not sure we can ever fully understand this mysterious person. The one thing I'm convinced of is that Jesus, also known as Christos ("The Christ" or "Anointed One") is a universal and archetypal figure. Contrary to most views he was not particularly concerned with religion, and most certainly never intended to start a new one. So please don't read this as another religious message or an attempt to convert you to my views.
In truth, those things hidden from the foundation of the world are revealed to us as we need them, as we open our hearts to the inner longing that is often best understood non-verbally when we listen to music like that of Ludovico Einaudi. My own view has always been that music is the pure pathway to the soul. The true mystery of life is never understood by the head (reason), but through the heart (love). And I believe that images work on us in the same way as music.
Somehow as I listen to the music of modern minimalistic composers, I can feel this pulse that takes me right back to the foundation of the world - the origin of light and word (logos). You can feel it in the work of composers as varied as John Taverner, Arvo Pärt, John Adams, Max Richter, Ludovico Einaudi. You can hear it in Phillip Glass too, although he is more incessant in expressing that pulse.
But in this case image and music come together in Ludovico Einaudi's "L'Origine Nascosta" ("The Hidden Origin"):

Jesus loved the beach. There's a gorgeous beach scene in what I consider to be the greatest film on the life of Jesus, Pier Paolo Pasolini's "The Gospel According to St Matthew" (1964). www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewzr-ioQ_9k Pasolini was not religious, but I think he understood Jesus comprehensively for that very reason - he didn't bring any baggage to the making of the film.
Pasolini shows Jesus meeting his first followers on the beach at the Sea of Galilee. And there an inner light shone to such an extent that a group of fishermen left their nets and followed Jesus to the end.

Reason, Season, or Lifetime
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Part of the meerkat social structure requires group members to fulfill important jobs each day. One job is called the sentry. This individual stands at the highest possible "lookout" while the rest of the group searches for food. The sentry sends out a soft, high-pitched call every few seconds to let the busy hunters know they are safe from danger.
Wishing all contacts and lurkers a fulfilling Thanksgiving.
I share the last photo I took in West Virginia last month. 810 has backed down the Cub Creek branch to Cub Creek Jct where they connect up with the old Virginian Guyandotte River Line.
You can see the large bridge just behind 810s motive power which carries this rebuilt stretch of the branch over the old alignment of the Guyandotte River "mainline". The R.D. Bailey Dam construction in the late 1960s necessitated a good chunk of the mainline being altered and pushed to a separate route to the south via Hanover, WV. The original Cub Creek Jct was located 3 miles to the west of the current junction. Referencing aerial photos from decades ago, the original Cub Creek Jct is now completely underwater.

However, we must always be logical in our critical estimates; most of photography is not intended as art and should not be judged as such. But if art is intended, compromise must not be tolerated :-)

The promises of the past can not be fulfilled. Must wait for few hundred years more. The love I had for you was not deep. I don’t believe that in this life I can escape from hatred which is hidden deep in my heart. Even in the calmness I can’t stop my heart from shrivels. Love and hate are ablaze constantly. Blood and tears are crying. One strike of "love sword" is enough to shake a life.
Between love and hate, the fate of numerous life in this world is worn away. I want to smile but my feelings are complicated. I wish I would be the ruler of the fate of all the life in this world, as the moon shining every night. Yet I have no right and have no reason to hate. Because love and hate lacerated the long night.
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder.
