GLITTERY SPARKLES or GLOWING

So, this shot has been sitting on my hard drive since I took it back in January 2017, I loved the fractured reflection and the sort of dark, surreal alternate reality it conveyed with golden glitter and distorted classic architecture. It's as if the building is saying, "Look at me" but it's not real, it's a distortion of reality taken from the surrounding buildings. Take away the reflection and it's dark building that struggles to convey power and strength, a false power and strength but alluring all the same. So it's with this in mind that it never got posted.
I decided to post it today because of some factors that seem to have come together. One is the obvious end of a four year nightmare and one has to do with me just missing a good walk in the city due to COVID. I've been looking through my archive folders at city pics that never were posted and thinking now is the time. Along this line, I was conversing with Leon, a new contact here on Flickr and was a bit surprised to find that he hadn't seen any architectural shots in my photostream. The reason goes back to not being able to get to NYC or any city for that matter since COVID started so not much architectural or travel photography in quite some time.
With this in mind it seems the time is right to post this shot.

Great Purple Hairstreak. This small beautiful black butterfly (1.25 - 1.5", 32 - 38 mm) has a "false head" on the rear of its wings that it constantly undulates fanning its tips. Its bright vibrant colors against the black sends an un-palatable warning to any would be predators.
I carried on from the card I started for last week's Macro Mondays and applied appropriate letters for a birthday card. I used an extra square to put a blob of glitter glue on it. I wouldn't have liked to mess up the card. I use glitter glue a lot, it is more effective than pens on coloured paper.

I use glitter glue to put my tags and bows on presents. This is a blob of it on glass above the metallic wrapping paper. The little hexagonal bits are glitter. HMM!

Another boat on the Spree, the "Berolina" :) This is also the first boat of 2023, taken at a fabulous (and surprisingly sunny) Easter Sunday photowalk where magrit k. and I met m_laRs_k for the first time. I'm starting with my "postcard picture" from our photowalk, duly processed and enhanced for Sliders Sunday. We had mainly focused on Architecture, or, as Mathias puts it, architeXture, but in the late afternoon, when we walked along the Spree, I couldn't resist taking another "boat with sights" photo. The sights here are, from left to right, the John F. Kennedy House, Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Berlin Central Station) which frames the Berlin Cube, and the Moltke Bridge.
The main sliding action here was to add some clouds to the bright blue sky because this type of image works better with clouds, I think. There had been a few fluffy clouds, left over from the rainy days before Easter, at the beginning of our photowalk, but they were gone soon, too soon, I might add. These are Photoshop clouds because, unfortunately, I couldn't find a photo in my archive with the "right" clouds for the light situation we had that afternoon. Additional filters used in Color Efex were: Brilliance and Warmth, Reflector Efex silver, Detail Extractor, and Skylight.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, and wishing you a wonderful 1st of May :)

I am flesh and I am bone
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter and gold
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
Like glitter and gold
Like glitter
Do you walk in the valley of kings?
Do you walk in the shadow of men?
Who sold their lives to a dream?
Do you ponder the manner of things
In the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark
