On the last day of 2019, I took a walk in the German city Koblenz along Fort Asterstein and the beautiful area around it. Next to the interesting fort, I saw a peaceful cemetery, so I paused a while to think of my parents who both sadly passed away too soon many years ago. After that, I decided to go back to my hotel when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a small plane on a hill in the grass a little further away. I once started writing a film script, but never finished it. The image I saw of the plane wreck placed so obliquely in the grass felt like a scene from a movie. I got excited and tried to get close. When I got near the plane I saw that there was a fence in front of it and that you couldn't get close. I walked all the way around the fence to discover a small hole. The only place I could take a picture was on the ground completely in the mud. Despite the mud I didn't think twice and took a flight 😉 to the ground and made this photo through the small hole in the fence. While taking the photo, I felt goosebumps as if my parents were there. It was a beautiful moment on the last day of the year. When I got back to the great hotel Rheinkrone not far away from the place, I tried to find out online what kind of plane it was and why it was there. Unfortunately I never found the story behind it.

Op de laatste dag van 2019 maakte ik in de Duitse stad Koblenz een wandeling langs Fort Asterstein en het mooie gebied eromheen. Toen ik zag dat ik langs een vredige begraafplaats kwam, bleef ik spontaan even in de buurt hangen om weer eens stil te staan bij mijn beide ouders die jaren geleden helaas veel te vroeg zijn overleden. Ik besloot na dit mooie herdenkingsmoment om terug te gaan naar mijn hotel toen ik vanuit mijn ooghoek iets verderop een vliegtuigje op een heuveltje in het gras zag staan. Ik ben ooit begonnen met het schrijven van een filmscript, maar heb het helaas nog nooit afgemaakt. Het beeld wat ik daar zag van het vliegtuigwrak zo schuin geplaatst in het gras voelde als een scène uit een film. Ik werd enthousiast en liep die richting op. Toen ik in de buurt van het vliegtuig aankwam zag ik dat er een hek voor stond en dat je er niet dichtbij kon geraken. Heb heel het hek langsgelopen om een klein gat te ontdekken. De enige plek waar ik een foto kon maken was op de grond helemaal in de modder. Ondanks de modder bedacht ik me geen moment en kroop ik op de grond en heb ik met kunst- en vliegwerk😉 door het kleine gaatje in het hek deze foto gemaakt. Tijdens het maken van de foto voelde ik kippenvel alsof mijn ouders er bij waren. Het was een prachtig moment op de laatste dag van het jaar. Toen ik niet veel later weer in het geweldige hotel Rheinkrone aankwam probeerde ik online uit te zoeken wat voor soort vliegtuig het was en waarom het op die plek stond. Helaas heb ik het verhaal erachter nooit gevonden.
I woke up this morning to a warm streaming sunrise that decided to taunt and tease me behind the clouds over the mountains. I tried several ideas and then decided I'd just go for a walk around my cul-de-sac for inspiration. Happily I noticed some vines on the fence with interesting light and the love found me. You'll find it too, just be open and when you don't expect it that's where it will be.
ODC - hidden in plain sight
366 theme - natural things
Hello all,
This is one of the first photos I took this year.
Normally I would have done my New Year's resolutions in April, May or something. But I've made some photography goals for this year. There is one main theme: Hidden in plain sight. For this theme would like to focus on patterns, textures and reflections. I would also like to get better at making character portraits.
What are your photography goals for this year? Do you have a nice preview of patterns, textures, reflections or portraits? Show it below in the comments
Hallo allemaal,
Dit is een van de eerste foto's die ik dit jaar heb gemaakt.
Normaal gesproken zou ik mijn goede voornemens voor het nieuwe jaar in april, mei of zoiets hebben gedaan. Maar ik heb een aantal fotografiedoelen gemaakt voor dit jaar. Er is één hoofdthema: Verborgen in het volle zicht. Voor dit thema wil ik me concentreren op patronen, texturen en reflecties. Ik zou ook graag beter willen worden in het maken van karakterportretten.
Wat zijn je fotografiedoelen voor dit jaar? Heeft u een mooie preview van patronen, texturen, reflecties of portretten? Laat het hieronder zien in de comments
Hola a todos,
Esta es una de las primeras fotos que tomé este año.
Normalmente habría hecho mis propósitos de Año Nuevo en abril, mayo o algo así. Pero he marcado algunos objetivos fotográficos para este año. Hay un tema principal: Oculto a plena vista. Para este tema, me gustaría centrarme en patrones, texturas y reflejos. También me gustaría mejorar en la realización de retratos de personajes.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos fotográficos para este año? ¿Tiene una bonito foto de patrones, texturas, reflejos o retratos? Muéstralo a continuación en los comentarios
I found this painted wall purely by chance while shooting some other stuff in the neighboorhood. Thanks to all who viewd, commented or "faved" it.This photo made it to Explore.
In the shadowed embrace of a dimly lit alley, an undocumented family huddles together, their faces etched with fear and uncertainty. The air is thick with tension as they seek refuge, holding onto each other tightly, hoping for a safer tomorrow. This poignant image captures their vulnerability, resilience, and the silent plea for compassion and understanding in a world where safety feels fleeting. Let their story be a reminder of the human impact behind the headlines, and the ongoing struggle for dignity and security.
Nel cuore del fiore, un rifugio perfetto. La natura, con la sua infinita creatività, offre riparo e protezione anche negli angoli più inaspettati. Per una farfalla notturna, i pistilli di questo fiore diventano un luogo sicuro, lontano dai pericoli del mondo.

My attention (and eyes) were so fixed on this lovely little waterfall dropping into the Bristol Avon near the beautiful City of Bath, Somerset that, if he hadn't suddenly moved, I would have missed this fishing Grey Heron completely.

This was what I wanted to enter into the Ohio Foothills challenge, but the pics were poor quality taken through the thick scratched plastic cage. An African Bullfrog who could easily gulp 25 crickets up before you could see it done. However, one cricket wisely stayed on top.
Big problem now is that Jim thinks he's Mick Jagger, and keeps singing to me, "You Can't Always Get What You Want". GRRR.
Below another pic, and an example of the pic before editing.
Three photos blended into one. It is up to the individual to veiw it from their perspective to decide what it is to them. Share in the comments so we can see it too.
When the building next door was demolished, these two well-preserved wall signs on Hamilton Avenue were revealed. From the style of clothing, I'd say the signs date from the 1920s or early 30s. Honor Bright is for boys' shirts and playsuits--and from the sign, blouses as well. But it's okay, blouses were an acceptable term for boys' clothing. And as the sign says, Honor Bright is for "real boys."
Black Beauty was a line of men's work shirts. The name refers to the 19th century novel about a horse's life in London. Both brands were manufactured by the Reliance Manufacturing Company, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
There is also small sign for the Square Deal Hardware Company.
No idea how my husband spotted this Slow-worm - but it was beautiful to see it sun bathing in a patch of September sunshine!
Walking down Amato Road one night, I passed this door which opens into Southern California Edison's downtown Palm Springs substation. Any idiot, such as myself, can read and photograph the sign posted by Edison.
Opinion: Edison does a good job with their transmission and distribution. They also have high rates because this level of service is costly. For example, if some 12,000-volt transmission line shorts out, Edison immediately dispatches a trouble car to go see what's happening. Other utilities wait for a bunch of grumpy customers to call in and report their power is out. Monitoring SCADA and having trouble people available to respond is expensive. Their service area goes from Fresno to the San Diego County line. I'm out here in the hinterlands where there are often high winds. Overall, there are few power outages.
I think part of being a participant in democracy is having a literacy in utilities. That includes having a basic understanding of how rate cases are developed and how the California Public Utilities Commission oversees utilities.
A senior manager …told us, 'Part of the [electric grid] control room experience is to know when not to follow procedures. …There are bad days when a procedure doesn't cover it, and then you have to use your wits.'

ODC-Hidden In Plain Sight.
Of course I can see the Bunny, but it might be difficult for it's predators to see it if it's very still. A lesson they learn at a very young age! I called this one "Bunny" and it stopped and hid behind the branch, but was watching me with it's big brown eye!
Crown Jewels | Jökulsárlón Ice Beach, Iceland | The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field. Matthew 13:44 #hiddeninplainsight

Boba Fett has returned to the Death Star after a successful mission, delivering yet another outlaw to Palpatine. And now the fun begins.
Fett: As you may recall I never actually said the words I promise to return your skateboard intact. I said everything else except those specific words.
STB: Do I even want to hear the next words out of your mouth?
Fett: Probably not but I'll say them anyway. See that on the floor at your feet? Well, it's your you-know-what.
STB: Um, say what?
Fett: What.
STB: Fair warning. It's been a very long week, and I'm in a really bad mood. So unless you want me to go wookiee on you, you might want to start this conversation over again.
Fett: Sorry, do overs are for rebel scum and I don't see any here. As I was saying.. . That's your you-know-what. Or what's left of it.
STB: You do realize your cache of weapons is right behind me. And I know how to use every single one of them?
Fett: True. But hear me out before you blast me to smithereens. The P was good on his word, double credits, so I'm making good on my promise of a trip back to The Moss.
STB: Perfect. I can bury your remains in the desert and no one will ever know.
Fett: Also true. But let’s not get hasty.
STB: What. Now you‘re quoting Treebeard?
Fett: If the shoe fits. But, technically since I never actually really promised anything and you STILL loaned me your board, then the only one at fault here is you.
STB: You're messing with me again. Right?
Fett: Do mynocks have lips?
STB: So I get a free trip to Mos Eisley, and then get blast you later? Sounds like a win win situation for me.
Fett: Dude, sorry to burst your bubble but no blasting allowed. If we both make it back safe and ... safe, I’ll tell you where I hid your skateboard.
STB: So you're going to leave me hanging until then? I have to wait to find out if this really is this my board or not?

It takes some industrial backbone to keep buildings going. I don't know exactly what these valves do, but it's probably important.
In the quiet embrace of Walchensee's ethereal beauty, where mossy whispers and mushroom dreams dance at nature's edge. A symphony of serenity unfolds, as mountains and lake weave tales of time, the heart finds solace in this Bavarian dreamscape.
While ambling around the Rivertown area of Detroit I found these valves(?) on the side of a building. I liked their slightly skewed look and the way they contrasted with the brick.
There's many videos showing us UFOs on the live feed at the ISS but this one is out there in a league of it's own because there's two of them and they really do look Alien. Plus there's no way that these two UFOs could be a drone with a few lights on it and driven by someones wife while the husband gets an image of it flying erratic with blinking lights. It's an amazing UFO Sightings Footage in every sense of the words. @ufosightingsfootage #ufosightingsfootage #ufosfootage #ufoiss #issufo #issufos #issufosighting #ufosightings #ufosighting #realufo #realufos
Bella has a dog biscuit that is one of her most cherished possessions. She is very serious about hiding it in a new place every day and sometimes seems almost frantic about finding the right spot.
