We're back from Malta. The beauty of landscapes not leave us indifferent. Begin with the beautiful cliffs on the south coast of the island of Gozo. Here in Xlendi we arrived at sundown. A row of very impressive cliffs soaked with a golden light was simply irresistible.

"Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild -

With a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand."

(W.B. Yeats)

A wonderful view from Middle Fell - I was hoping for more drama in the clouds but not today. The fells around Wast Water are remote and less busy, all the better...

A sunrise lights the Mountains on the flanks of the "Norwegian Inside Passage" as we sailed back South towards Bergen.

There is beauty everywhere around you as you sail on this magical sheltered route through the Western Fjords avoiding the more turbulent Norwegian Sea.

Our journey North and South produced many great photo opportunities as we went in Search of The Northern Lights. Only to find they actually came back home with us this week!

simply happily free

The Alte Rathaus at Bonner Marktplatz [de] was built between 1737 and 1738 in the Rococo style by the electoral court architect Michael Leveilly; however, it was not completely finished until around 1780. The four-storey building has seven window axes and a gambrel with dormers. It stands as a Baudenkmal [de] under Cultural heritage management.

Apart from its central location in the Bonn-Zentrum [de] and its former function as the seat of the municipal administration, the town hall has also become famous for the gilded perron on the market square. In the course of history, this has repeatedly been the scene of important events, with famous personalities appearing there before the people of Bonn.

Deep Dream Generator. I put in a nice photo of a wooden stair case going up. I put in the prompt - gilded stairs. It turned my stairs into this. I don't like it, way to much gold.

Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to visit, comment and fave - I appreciate it!

Notre-Dame's high altar from the backside. When, after the fire of April 15th 2019, the firemen finally could enter the cathedral, they saw the altar untouched and the gilded cross shining through ashes and smoke.

I was out shooting birds and I saw some nice lighting on a dead fern. The SOOC image was pretty blah, but with some significant sliding, the image is now golden. HSS!
