Most landscape photos are likely to be wide-angle shots, but it's also worth taking telephoto shots. When I travel I always have my 70-200 with me and like in this photo together with the 2x teleconverter you get completely different compressed sections and abstract views. The "elephant skin" of the rocks in the foreground harmonizes wonderfully with the sandy tones of the Bad Water Basin in the background. This photo was taken early in the morning in Death Valley from Zabriskie Point. It was the second time I visited Death Valley (way back in the 80s) and I've been fascinated by this unique landscape ever since...
Die meisten Landschaftsfotos sind wohl Weitwinkelaufnahmen, doch es lohnt sich auch, Teleaufnahmen zu machen. Bei Reisen habe ich immer mein 70-200er im Gepäck und wie in diesem Foto zusammen mit dem 2-fach Telekonverter erhält man ganz andere komprimierte Aussschnitte und abstrakte Ansichten. Die "Elefantenhaut" der Felsen im Vordergrund harmoniert wunderbar mit den Sandtönen des Bad Water Basins im Hintergrund. Diese Aufnahme entstand am frühen Morgen im Death Valley vom Zabriskie Point aus. Es war das zweite Mal, dass ich das Death Valley besucht habe (lange zurück in den 80ern) und seitdem fasziniert mich diese einzigartige Landschaft...

It started snowing through the night... a cold, icy morning made up for some epic mood and light, harmonizing perfectly with the heavily flooded Rhine.
Downside is, that all our normal walks are flooded too. So this here depicts the end of the way, we could take. A mere 10 minutes away. :)

We walked around the gardens for hours, so many ancient structures hidden and harmonized with the wild nature, giant trees and twisted lakes. Truly a sight to be hold.
Tromso is a fairly new town and in strong growth. It's a challenge to get new buildings to harmonize with the surroundings. Is there a goal that architecture should harmonize? Or provoke? Should we allow everyone to build his signature building? We have to live with it for 100 years! Anyway, we photographers can enjoy contrasts in shapes and colours to make exciting pictures.

Excerpt from www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=9727:
Sited in a landscaped garden amongst mature trees in a residential Gravenhurst neighbourhood, Bethune House is an attractive L-shaped, timber structure. Its gable roof is steeply pitched, while the clapboard exterior features bay windows, ornamental verge boards and a verandah. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Bethune House is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental values.
Bethune House is very closely associated with the early life of Dr. Norman Bethune in Canada. His birthplace acts as a memorial to his career and is a monument to social justice and human welfare, convictions held by Dr Norman Bethune. An internationally renowned figure, he became a strenuous advocate of socialized, easily available medical care. His achievements include several developments in the treatment of tuberculosis and in thoracic surgery, refinements in medical instruments, and the first practical use of a mobile blood transfusion unit.
Bethune House is a good example of a typical middle-class residence found throughout Canada in the late 19th century. The influence of the picturesque is seen in the steeply pitched roof, the vertical emphasis of the massing and its asymmetrical plan. It exhibits good functional design and craftsmanship.
Bethune House is compatible with the present character of its residential setting and is familiar to those visiting the region.
The character-defining elements of Bethune House should be respected.
Its good quality materials and craftsmanship, as evidenced in:
- the two-storey, asymmetrical, L-shaped plan;
- the steeply-pitched gable roof, the ornamental verge-boards and the brick chimneys;
- the clapboard exterior walls, the symmetrical arrangement of the windows, the bay windows and the verandah;
- the centre hall plan with informal layout of rooms and the interior details.
The manner in which Bethune House is compatible with the present character of the residential setting and is a familiar local landmark, as evidenced by:
- its overall picturesque appearance which complements the landscaped grounds and harmonizes with the residential structures on John Street;
- its role as an interpretive memorial that make it familiar to the community.

Le bâtiment Richard Meier, d'un blanc éclatant, se dresse au cœur de la nature environnante. Que les visiteurs se réjouissent : là où l'art et le nouveau bâtiment du musée s'harmonisent, ils seront les gagnants. Ici, pas de compétition pour occuper la vedette, mais un lieu empreint d'art, un lieu qui révèle sa vraie nature et offre un écrin aux œuvres de l'artiste-mécène du musée ainsi qu'à l'art contemporain.
« Mon architecture ouverte et transparente crée des transitions fluides entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur et reflète le même lien avec la nature que celui exprimé dans les œuvres de Hans Arp. »
En tant que l'un des plus grands architectes de musées internationaux, Richard Meier se réfère dans son architecture aux principes du modernisme classique, un style qui a connu son apogée au début du XXe siècle. Cette époque a également façonné l'œuvre du duo d'artistes Hans Arp et Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Le bâtiment de Meier est baigné de lumière et semble emmener les visiteurs hors de leur quotidien. Ici, les œuvres trouvent un espace propice à leur épanouissement.
The dazzling white Richard Meier Building stands out in the heart of the surrounding nature. Visitors can rejoice: wherever art and the new museum building harmonize, they will be the winners. Here, there's no competition for the spotlight, but a place imbued with art, a place that reveals its true nature and provides a showcase for the works of the museum's artist-patron as well as contemporary art.
"My open and transparent architecture creates seamless transitions between indoors and outdoors and reflects the same connection with nature expressed in the works of Hans Arp."
As one of the greatest international museum architects, Richard Meier refers in his architecture to the principles of classical modernism, a style that reached its peak in the early 20th century. This era also shaped the work of the artist duo Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Meier's building is bathed in light and seems to transport visitors away from their everyday lives. Here, the works find a space conducive to their development.

It is literally known as "source of the lake " in Bhutia language. Just about 40 kms. away from Gangtok, the capital of the state, this serene lake is situated at an altitude of 12,000 ft on the Gangtok Nathu La highway. It falls in the restricted area and hence an inner line permit is required by Indians to visit this place. Foreign nationals are not permitted to visit this lake without special permission. The lake is about 1 km. Long, oval in shape, 15 meters deep and is considered sacred by the local people. It is also a home of brahminy ducks. It's cool, placid water harmonizes with the scenic beauty around. A small temple of lord Siva is constructed on the lakeside . This placid lake remains frozen during the winter months up to mid-May.
Between May and August it is possible to see a variety of flowers in blooms, including the rhododendrons, various species of primulas, blue and yellow poppies, irises etc. It is also an ideal habitat for the red panda and various species of birds.
I found myself thinking about the differences between photographing with black and white film versus with color film. Over the years I have shifted more toward the use of b&w film. Whereas a decade ago I was probably 75-25 in favor of color, these days it is probably closer to a 50-50 split.
I suppose I could say there are several reasons why I enjoy using black and white film. Part of it is always going to be the fact that I see in color and therefore black and white film sees a different world than I am able to. I appreciate that. But I also that by stripping out the color in an image, or looking past the color I should say, the attention that gets paid to what remains is pleasing. I like noticing scale and texture, or light and shadow. I like the sense of timelessness that comes with b&w.
But I really think it is about the simpler nature of b&w, which is not the same as saying it is simple. It is anything but really. But the world does become a bit simpler in some way I struggle to describe when viewed in shades of gray. It is quieter too in a sense. Or... I dunno, maybe more peaceful. Color is so often louder. Not that contrast cannot be equally loud, but at least a contrasty b&w image only has one loud voice clamoring for attention.
Anyway, I was browsing through my images curating a selection for a project and this image of Comet Falls jumped out at me because I had this train of thoughts on repeat in the background of my brain. This image harmonized with those thoughts and in its own ways demonstrates some of the qualities I love about b&w film.

song recorded on August 26, 1973
Neil Young, long one of the most outspoken figures in rock, launched a broadside against President Trump on Wednesday through a new song that decries “fascists” and includes the line, “There’s big crime in D.C. at the White House.”
The new song, “Big Crime,” debuted at a tour stop in Chicago, where Mr. Young performed with his latest band, the Chrome Hearts
The new song does not mention Mr. Trump by name, but its target is unmistakable. The song opens with the line “No more great again,” adds “Don’t want soldiers on our streets” and “No more money to the fascists / The billionaire fascists” before returning to a harmonized refrain, “There’s big crime in D.C. at the White House.” - NYTimes, 8/28/2925
Der 102,5 ha große Neue Garten liegt im Norden Potsdams am Jungfernsee. Über das Wasser hinweg bestehen gestalterische Verbindungen zu den Gärten von Sacrow, Pfaueninsel, Glienicke und Babelsberg, wodurch er eine zentrale Rolle in der Gartenlandschaft erhält. Trotz Überformung durch Lenné hat er noch sentimentale Einzelpartien aus der Entstehungsphase vor 1800 bewahrt. Seine Geschichte fängt mit dem Ankauf eines zentralen Grundstückes durch den Kronprinzen Friedrich Wilhelm (II.) an. Im Jahre 1787, ein Jahr nach dem Regierungsantritt, begann die Anlage des Neuen Gartens, der seinen Namen programmatisch in der Abkehr vom alten Barockpark Sanssouci erhielt. Als Gestalter wurde der Wörlitzer Gärtner Johann August Eyserbeck verpflichtet, was die Umsetzung der an englischen Gärten orientierten Idealvorstellung Friedrich Wilhelms garantierte. Ungünstig für den einheitlichen Charakter des Gartens war der sich über mehrere Jahre hinziehende Grundstücksankauf. Neben einbezogenen ehemaligen Wohnhäusern entstanden zwischen 1787 und 1792 wichtige neue Bauten im Garten, von denen heute noch viele bestehen: Marmorpalais, Küche in Form einer römischen Tempelruine, Gotische Bibliothek, Schindelhaus, Orangerie, Grotte, Meierei, Pyramide (Eiskeller) und das holländische Etablissement. Vor letzterem verläuft, begleitet von Pyramidenpappeln (seit 1864 Pyramideneichen), ein Musterstück für den preußischen Chausseebau. In der Gartenanlage entstand eine Fülle von Partien unterschiedlicher sentimentaler Prägung, die von den jeweiligen Bauten oder Pflanzungen in ihrem Charakter bestimmt werden. 1816 überarbeitete Peter Joseph Lenné im Auftrag des Thronfolgers den zugewachsenen und unmodern gewordenen Garten. Unter Erhalt vieler Bereiche und Entfernung zu dichter Gehölze bekam der Neue Garten große Sichten und Wiesenräume, gefälligere Wegeführung und vor allem die Blickverbindungen zu den Nachbargärten (Sacrow, Pfaueninsel, Glienicke, Babelsberg, Potsdam, Pfingstberg). Trotz kleinerer Veränderungen zur Kaiserzeit und durch Rücknahme von Einbauten aus der Zeit der russischen Nutzung (1945–1954) hat sich noch immer die von Lenné geplante Grundstruktur bewahrt. Das Schloss Cecilienhof, 1913–1917 für den Kronprinzen erbaut, fügt sich sehr harmonisch ein. Eine 13 ha große Fläche, die 1960-1990 als Grenzgebiet zerstört war, ist inzwischen wieder hergestellt worden.

The New Garden, which covers 102.5 hectares, lies at Jungfernsee Lake in the northern part of Potsdam. Creative viewing connections extend across the water to the gardens of Sacrow, Peacock Island, Glienicke and Babelsberg, evidencing the park’s central role in this overall garden landscape. Despite its having been reshaped by Lenné, the garden has nevertheless preserved individual, emotive areas that date from the phase of its creation before 1800. The garden’s history begins with the purchase of a central piece of land by Crown Prince Frederick William (II). In 1787, a year after his ascension to the throne, the laying out of the grounds commenced at the New Garden, the name being programmatic for the abandonment of the old baroque park at Sanssouci. Wörlitz gardener Johann August Eyserbeck was charged with its creation, a decision that ensured a transformation in alignment with Frederick William’s ideals oriented towards English gardens.
What undermined the uniform character of the garden was the fact that it had taken several years to purchase the land. In addition to the former private houses that were included, important new buildings were constructed in the garden between 1787 and 1792, many of which still exist today: the Marble House, the kitchen in the shape of a Roman temple ruins, the Gothic Library, Shingle House, orangery, grotto, dairy, pyramid (ice house) and the Dutch houses. In front of the latter, we find a prime example of Prussian country road construction lined with pyramid-shaped cottonwood poplars (now, since 1864, pyramid-shaped oaks). On the garden grounds, a number of areas were created, whose characters were emotively shaped by the respective buildings or plantings to varying degrees.
In 1816, Peter Joseph Lenné was commissioned by the successor to the throne to rework the overgrown garden, which no longer conformed with the contemporary taste. By preserving many areas while removing copses that had become too dense, the New Garden was provided with new perspectives and meadow spaces, more pleasing pathways and above all, with viewing connections to the neighboring gardens (Sacrow, Peacock Island, Glienicke, Babelsberg, Potsdam, Pfingstberg Hill). Despite the smaller changes made during Imperial times and owing to the removal of installations dating from the time the garden was used by the Russians (1945 –1954), Lenné’s basic structural design has been retained up to this day. Cecilienhof Country House, built for the Crown Prince from 1913 to 1917, harmonizes in this setting. In the meantime, an area of 13 hectares has been restored, which had been destroyed during its use as part of the border zone from 1960 to 1990.

The flavours were rich and delicate, like all great Thai cuisine here at Café de Palm. It was slightly sweet and quite spicy, harmonizing wonderfully with the shrimp, mussels and clams. Lots of garlic was used, and the black olives were a pleasing touch.

SCUBA diving is sensual. To breathe underwater is one of the most fascinating and peculiar sensations imaginable. Breathing becomes a rhythmic melody of inhalations and exhalations. The cracks and pops of fish and crustaceans harmonize with the rhythmic chiming of the bubbles as you exhale. Soon, lungs act as bellows, controlling your buoyancy as you achieve weightlessness. And, as in your dreams, you are flying. Combine these otherworldly stimuli and you surrender completely to the sanctuary of the underwater world.

Like dancers in some new dance, you each have your own motions, and though they may harmonize with the rest, they do not copy them.
This is one of the mistakes you keep making - that you expect a chorus line like the Rockettes.
Those times are past.
It is time to look at the picture from a wider perspective and see the harmony in your differences.
A play where all characters are the same and want the same things would be boring,
no one would stay to receive the message, if there was a message to receive.
You have a common intent.
The intent is to expand this consciousness, this energy you play with so that it becomes visible and to a greater degree, acceptable to an increasing number of people.
This cannot be done as a monolith.
It is not necessary to like each other, although some of you will.
It is not necessary to form strong physical bonds with everyone although some will do that as well - it is part of the drama.
BUT if the drama is to attract attention it must be intense, riveting, with periods of joy, laughter and relaxation as well.
No more is needed than this, and you might look at your cast of characters and see whether you have the ingredients for such a drama.
I believe you will find that you do.

The Mahkama du Pacha, a parliamentary building that not only houses the court of justice but also serves as a reception area for state occasions.
The main problem with the Mahkama du Pacha as a tourist attraction is that, because it is in regular use, it can be difficult or impossible to gain access to the interiors of the building. Still, it is a great place to make a stop and take a few pictures as the building features some impressive architecture. Apparently construction of the Mahkama du Pacha commenced in 1948 and ended in 1952, and the architectural style of the building shows strong Moorish influences. The name of the building can be loosely translated as ‘Pasha’s courthouse’, which is appropriate considering the function of the building. If you are fortunate enough to gain entry, you will discover a wonderful variety of rich furnishings and finishes. The ceiling is made of carved cedar wood that harmonizes perfectly with the chiseled stucco and polychrome mosaics which can be found decorating the interiors. There are also white, marble columns and rigid geometric designs which add the finishing touches to an already unimaginably graceful interior.
Clearly, such a well designed, built and finished building is ideal for use as a state reception room and a court of justice. The building is also sometimes referred to as the ‘Prefecture of Habouss’ and it is definitely worth viewing – even if only from the outside.
Acropoli - Propilei.
Qui cominciamo ad assaporare la vera bellezza dell’Acropoli. Sono l’ingresso monumentale alla spianata ed erano formati da un atrio centrale con due ali ai lati: Pinacoteca a sinistra e portico a destra.
Il corpo centrale prevedeva all’esterno 6 colonne doriche altissime simili a quelle del Partenone e all’interno altre colonne ma ioniche.
Il progettista, Mnesicle, riuscì quindi ad armonizzare questi due stili architettonici.
Acropolis - Propylaea.
Here we begin to savor the true beauty of the Acropolis. They are the monumental entrance to the esplanade and were made up of a central atrium with two wings on the sides: the art gallery on the left and the portico on the right.
The central body had 6 very high Doric columns on the outside similar to those of the Parthenon and other Ionic columns on the inside.
The designer, Mnesicle, therefore managed to harmonize these two architectural styles.

Designed by Robert McCausland who was known for producing stained glass windows in the English style: Windows radiating light in colour and harmonized with the architecture of their setting.
Combines the Victorian love of naturalism and symbolism with modern views of Toronto to portray its roots, continuity and traditions.
Represents the union of Commerce and Industry and symbolizes the growth and progress of Toronto.
McCausland used sunrays which were on many Toronto homes from the same time period.
In the centre panel is the City of Toronto's coat of arms with the motto: Industry; Integrity; Intelligence.
This is just for fun. I saw this wall of tiles with a black TV screen in the middle of the British Airways lounge at JFK airport. I loved the graphic look of the tiles. The variety of colors harmonized so well together. But that black screen in the middle was a killer until I thought about featuring some of my own photos in the middle.
So here's the first of the JFK tiles series featuring the arches of Maulbronn Monastery. (original). Please press "L" to get the best view.

By now everyone knows that I like colour. (Also love B&W.) This scene offered me some great colours to work from.I took my time in both composing and in processing this one.
The sand in the foreground harmonizes nicely with the trees in full Autumnal colour and is important in the composition in my opinion . Important for me, but maybe not for others is the old barn in the distance framed by the red arch. The puddle, with the leaf is an important element as it is different. I have certainly spent time photographing the spray park in the past, but this i likely my favourite capture of the area.

Solo singer, a gray wolf at Alpha Park located in the heart of the Mercantour National Park, Saint-Martin-Vésubie, France.
Wolves howl to assemble the pack (usually before and after hunts), to pass on an alarm (particularly at a den site), to locate each other during a storm or unfamiliar territory and to communicate across great distances.
When howling together, wolves harmonize rather than chorus on the same note, thus creating the illusion of there being more wolves than there actually are.
Since 1992, the wolves that had been exterminated in France over a hundred years ago are living here again. They kept migrating across the Italian ‘green border’. Today, there are 25 to 30 wolves divided into packs of five to six, roaming through the seven valleys of the park again.
The Mercantour National Park is a unique nature reserve located in the very southeast corner of France.
Brad McGinley, Cooper the Wonder Dog and I went out Friday night to shoot the Calhan Paint Mines once again. I honestly don’t know why we don’t spend more time in this wonderful location. It can be a bit challenging to shoot, depending on conditions, but the reward for creativity and determination is large. We began this night in the dark as the third quarter moon was not scheduled to rise until 1AM. Apprehension of the cloudy skies cleared up as the sky turned to perfection and remained that way through the night.
Knowing that for the first part of our night there would be minimal light we armed ourselves with all the lights we could carry and headed out. We explored new sections of the mine in search of different comps and perspectives and after a bit decided this comp held interest and set up for the first shoot of the night.
We tried several techniques with various light sources which worked to a point, but it wasn’t until we took Brad’s camping lantern and placed it in the scene to provide some localized lighting did we find the key to lighting the scene. This photography is made up of 5 separate light placements (including one behind us). Each of the 5 light locations was shot several times varying ISO and shutter speed to minimize hot spots and noise. In the sky, Sirius and Orion are accompanied by the Milky Way and just the right amount of light pollution from nearby Colorado Springs and sparse cloud placement to harmonize the scene.
Look forward to more shots from this night in the near future. As always, any feedback you’re willing to leave on things you like or see room for improvement are always appreciated.
UNA GIORNATA UGGIOSA.
Piazza della Libertà sorge ai piedi del Castello di Udine ed costituita da un gruppo di palazzi in stile rinascimentale che si armonizzano perfettamente tra loro, splendidi nelle loro forme di chiara matrice veneta.
Tanti sono gli edifici che si affacciano sulla Piazza e che potrete ammirare in tutta la loro bellezza, tutti meritano attenzione perché davvero sono uno più bello dell’altro:
la quattrocentesca Loggia del Lionello, affascinante nel suo stile gotico-veneziano i cui lavori iniziarono nel 1448 su progetto dell’orafo Nicolò Lionello;
la Torre dell’orologio, opera di Giovanni da Udine, con le due statue dei mori che scandiscono il tempo;
l’arco Bollani, disegnato da Palladio, che presenta sulla sua sommità un Leone Marciano.

A HARD DAY.
Piazza della Libertà rises at the foot of the Castle of Udine and consists of a group of Renaissance-style buildings that harmonize perfectly with each other, splendid in their forms of clear Venetian origin.
There are many buildings that overlook the square and that you can admire in all their beauty, all of them deserve attention because they are truly one more beautiful than the other:
the fifteenth-century Loggia del Lionello, fascinating in its Gothic-Venetian style whose works began in 1448 on a project by the goldsmith Nicolò Lionello;
the Clock Tower, the work of Giovanni da Udine, with the two statues of the Moors that mark the time;

“Buckminster Fuller explained to me once that because our world is constructed from geometric relations like the Golden Ratio or the Fibonacci Series, by thinking about geometry all the time, you could organize and harmonize your life with the structure of the world.”
~ Einar Thorsteinn
Germany, Hamburg, "Planten un Blomen" is an approximately 47 hectare park in the centre of Hamburg.
The name "Planten un Blomen" is in the North German dialect & it means “Plants & Flowers”. The founder & first director of the botanical garden in the Hamburg walls, Johann G. C. Lehmann, planted a plane tree in November 1821, the first tree in the park. The tree is located still today at the Dammtor train station entrance between the large tropical glasshouse & the Congress Centre, the tree is a natural symbol representing the beginnings of the gardens.
The park is a popular destination for the inhabitants in the Hamburg metropolitan area & tourists; it is part of a green zone that stretches horizontally through the whole nearly 2 million city down to the harbour.
The park is famous for its water-light concerts, public theatre & music performances. In addition to the gardens, there is a large playground in the southern park area; the park is open all year round there is no entrance fee.
📌...From May to September, the water-light concerts are presented daily at 10 pm with a bi-weekly changing 30 minutes program. The fountain & lighting is operated by three technicians during the show & tuned to harmonize with the music. Every evening several hundreds of people, with or without a picnic, sit on the lawns around the lake to watch the intense spectacle...unless it rains, the water games still take place.

UN PO' DI FRESCO SOTTO GLI ALBERI
Entrata a far parte nel 2007 dell’Associazione Ville Venete, Villa Varda, con il suo splendido parco, è un sito di pregio storico, architettonico e ambientale. Costruito nella seconda metà del XV secolo dai nobili Mazzoleni nella frazione di San Cassiano di Livenza, l’edificio presenta linee architettoniche eleganti che ben armonizzano con gli scorci paesaggistici e suggestivi del parco, sia durante la stagione invernale che primaverile.
Oggi di proprietà della regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, la villa è un vero e proprio rifugio, un’oasi verde che estendendosi per diciotto ettari fino a lambire il fiume Livenza, offre al visitatore un’immagine complessiva di grande fascino.

A LITTLE COOL UNDER THE TREES
Joined in 2007 by the Associazione Ville Venete, Villa Varda, with its splendid park, is a site of historical, architectural and environmental value. Built in the second half of the 15th century by the Mazzoleni nobles in the hamlet of San Cassiano di Livenza, the building has elegant architectural lines that harmonize well with the landscape and suggestive views of the park, both during the winter and spring seasons.
Today owned by the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, the villa is a real refuge, a green oasis which, extending for eighteen hectares up to the edge of the Livenza river, offers the visitor an overall image of great charm.

Rat snakes (or ratsnakes) are members – along with kingsnakes, milk snakes, vine snakes and indigo snakes – of the subfamily Colubrinae of the family Colubridae. They are medium to large constrictors and are found throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. They feed primarily on rodents and birds. With some species exceeding 3 m (10 ft) in total length, they can occupy top levels of some food chains. Many species make attractive and docile pets and one, the corn snake, is one of the most popular reptile pets in the world.[citation needed] Other species can be very skittish and sometimes aggressive, but bites are rarely serious. Like nearly all colubrids, rat snakes pose no threat to humans. Rat snakes were long thought to be completely nonvenomous, but recent studies have shown that some Old World species do possess small amounts of venom (so small as to be negligible to humans).[citation needed]
Previously, most rat snakes were assigned to the genus Elaphe, but many have been since renamed following mitochondrial DNA analysis performed in 2002. For the purpose of this article, names will be harmonized with the TIGR Database[clarification needed].
Der 102,5 ha große Neue Garten liegt im Norden Potsdams am Jungfernsee. Über das Wasser hinweg bestehen gestalterische Verbindungen zu den Gärten von Sacrow, Pfaueninsel, Glienicke und Babelsberg, wodurch er eine zentrale Rolle in der Gartenlandschaft erhält. Trotz Überformung durch Lenné hat er noch sentimentale Einzelpartien aus der Entstehungsphase vor 1800 bewahrt. Seine Geschichte fängt mit dem Ankauf eines zentralen Grundstückes durch den Kronprinzen Friedrich Wilhelm (II.) an. Im Jahre 1787, ein Jahr nach dem Regierungsantritt, begann die Anlage des Neuen Gartens, der seinen Namen programmatisch in der Abkehr vom alten Barockpark Sanssouci erhielt. Als Gestalter wurde der Wörlitzer Gärtner Johann August Eyserbeck verpflichtet, was die Umsetzung der an englischen Gärten orientierten Idealvorstellung Friedrich Wilhelms garantierte. Ungünstig für den einheitlichen Charakter des Gartens war der sich über mehrere Jahre hinziehende Grundstücksankauf. Neben einbezogenen ehemaligen Wohnhäusern entstanden zwischen 1787 und 1792 wichtige neue Bauten im Garten, von denen heute noch viele bestehen: Marmorpalais, Küche in Form einer römischen Tempelruine, Gotische Bibliothek, Schindelhaus, Orangerie, Grotte, Meierei, Pyramide (Eiskeller) und das holländische Etablissement. Vor letzterem verläuft, begleitet von Pyramidenpappeln (seit 1864 Pyramideneichen), ein Musterstück für den preußischen Chausseebau. In der Gartenanlage entstand eine Fülle von Partien unterschiedlicher sentimentaler Prägung, die von den jeweiligen Bauten oder Pflanzungen in ihrem Charakter bestimmt werden. 1816 überarbeitete Peter Joseph Lenné im Auftrag des Thronfolgers den zugewachsenen und unmodern gewordenen Garten. Unter Erhalt vieler Bereiche und Entfernung zu dichter Gehölze bekam der Neue Garten große Sichten und Wiesenräume, gefälligere Wegeführung und vor allem die Blickverbindungen zu den Nachbargärten (Sacrow, Pfaueninsel, Glienicke, Babelsberg, Potsdam, Pfingstberg). Trotz kleinerer Veränderungen zur Kaiserzeit und durch Rücknahme von Einbauten aus der Zeit der russischen Nutzung (1945–1954) hat sich noch immer die von Lenné geplante Grundstruktur bewahrt. Das Schloss Cecilienhof, 1913–1917 für den Kronprinzen erbaut, fügt sich sehr harmonisch ein. Eine 13 ha große Fläche, die 1960-1990 als Grenzgebiet zerstört war, ist inzwischen wieder hergestellt worden.

The New Garden, which covers 102.5 hectares, lies at Jungfernsee Lake in the northern part of Potsdam. Creative viewing connections extend across the water to the gardens of Sacrow, Peacock Island, Glienicke and Babelsberg, evidencing the park’s central role in this overall garden landscape. Despite its having been reshaped by Lenné, the garden has nevertheless preserved individual, emotive areas that date from the phase of its creation before 1800. The garden’s history begins with the purchase of a central piece of land by Crown Prince Frederick William (II). In 1787, a year after his ascension to the throne, the laying out of the grounds commenced at the New Garden, the name being programmatic for the abandonment of the old baroque park at Sanssouci. Wörlitz gardener Johann August Eyserbeck was charged with its creation, a decision that ensured a transformation in alignment with Frederick William’s ideals oriented towards English gardens.
What undermined the uniform character of the garden was the fact that it had taken several years to purchase the land. In addition to the former private houses that were included, important new buildings were constructed in the garden between 1787 and 1792, many of which still exist today: the Marble House, the kitchen in the shape of a Roman temple ruins, the Gothic Library, Shingle House, orangery, grotto, dairy, pyramid (ice house) and the Dutch houses. In front of the latter, we find a prime example of Prussian country road construction lined with pyramid-shaped cottonwood poplars (now, since 1864, pyramid-shaped oaks). On the garden grounds, a number of areas were created, whose characters were emotively shaped by the respective buildings or plantings to varying degrees.
In 1816, Peter Joseph Lenné was commissioned by the successor to the throne to rework the overgrown garden, which no longer conformed with the contemporary taste. By preserving many areas while removing copses that had become too dense, the New Garden was provided with new perspectives and meadow spaces, more pleasing pathways and above all, with viewing connections to the neighboring gardens (Sacrow, Peacock Island, Glienicke, Babelsberg, Potsdam, Pfingstberg Hill). Despite the smaller changes made during Imperial times and owing to the removal of installations dating from the time the garden was used by the Russians (1945 –1954), Lenné’s basic structural design has been retained up to this day. Cecilienhof Country House, built for the Crown Prince from 1913 to 1917, harmonizes in this setting. In the meantime, an area of 13 hectares has been restored, which had been destroyed during its use as part of the border zone from 1960 to 1990.
Oh, the delightful chaos of the Garden Hideaway! The ambiance is set by a flickering candle, casting enchanting shadows upon the pristine white tiles, harmonizing with the sun's final rays slipping through the French doors. Pasta strewn across the countertop, a delicious mess still too hot to handle, mingling with the aromas of dried herbs and freshly ground pepper.
Amidst this culinary whirlwind, there's only one antidote – a splendid mac and cheese feast awaiting in the tranquil courtyard. The anticipation builds as you prepare to savor this humble yet extraordinary moment beneath the vast, open sky, where flavors blend with nostalgia, creating a symphony of taste and memory.

HYBYCOZO is a collaborative installation arts collective made up of Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Their work consists of larger than life sculptures with laser cut patterns that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural influences. Their passion stems from one core impulse: to celebrate the inherent beauty of geometric form and pattern, and showcase them in ways that harmonizes the experience of sculpture, light, and shadow.
It's a windy night
Of first and main
Of any city
Of a hundred names
Spirits fly high and the sparks fly low
And the cats are all creeping out the back door slow
And the cats are out, gonna harmonize
They're headed for Cool Street on the main line
And here comes that Joe Serpentine
The life of a cat can leave you far behind ...
(Cats whithout claws )

The Rainbow Bridge (レインボーブリッジ Reinbō Burijji) is a suspension bridge crossing northern Tokyo Bay between Shibaura Pier and the Odaiba waterfront development in Minato, Tokyo, Japan.
The towers supporting the bridge are white in color, designed to harmonize with the skyline of central Tokyo seen from Odaiba. There are lamps placed on the wires supporting the bridge, which are illuminated into three different colors, red, white and green every night using solar energy obtained during the day.
