The Highlight Towers are also called "the northern gate", because the towers are located at the end of Highway Nr. 9 (Berlin - Munich).
The Highlight Towers are twin office towers located in the the Parkstadt Schwabing area of Munich. With a height of 126m resp. 113m they belong to the tallest buildings in Munich.
The towers are connected by two glass/steel bridges, a double bridge at the 9th/10th floor and a single bridge at the 20th floor. Design by Murphy/Jahn (Chicago, USA).

MEXICO, Mayastätte Palenque
Palenque ist eine von Tieflanddschungel umgebene archäologische Fundstätte im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Chiapas unweit der modernen Stadt Palenque. In der archäologischen Zone von Palenque befinden sich die Ruinen einer ehemaligen Mayametropole, die seit 1987 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehören. Das in der Nähe der Grabungsstätte wohnende Volk der Lacandonen wird als direkter Nachkomme der ehemaligen Bewohner des alten Palenque betrachtet. Am 30. März 2015 wurde die Gedenkstätte in das Internationale Register für Kulturgut unter Sonderschutz der Haager Konvention zum Schutz von Kulturgut bei bewaffneten Konflikten aufgenommen

During our stay in Northern Norway we tried to make the most of the 2 hours of near daylight, which on top is being compromised by weather and this can mean that you see no daylight at all if it's snowing or storming. But this day was a perfect one with a cold brightness that highlighted the unapproachable beauty of the North.

A Green heron feeding in the canal, along the tow path. This particular area is under a tree canopy, creating some great light effects. Wildwood lake, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The new growth found on the ends of coniferous trees, is often a much lighter hue of green than its older sibling. Add a little highlight to that same branch and the color stands out even more.
Just had to post one more image of my favourite backlit sheep on Bodmin Moor, as the lighting approaching sunset was so good. In tighter for this shot, and she posed beautifully looking directly to camera....probably thinking, what is this idiot crawling towards me doing !!! Awful weather again in Cornwall today.
It is always tough to choose a “favorite” when I look back on the year. The expected, and the unexpected, experiences from the the field are always fun to reflect on. The one that particularly stands out in my mind is this photo of the Apache Railway’s Alcos smoking it up rolling out of Snowflake, AZ. We lit out to go find them in the morning, tracked them back to snowflake, and then waited. And waited, and waited, and waited some more, for them to be done with their interchange work. There’s not a lot of heads up when they leave, so you really have to commit to setting up and hanging out. Thankfully, the longer we waited, the better the weather was getting, and it was peaceful sitting in the desert and waiting. After a while, we heard the distinctive horn and Alco growl. Not long after, they rolled around the corner in this gorgeous afternoon lighting smoking ’em up, and putting on a show befitting of their power. What a day, what a scene, what a memory.
I still have not been able to get out lately ( at least when conditions are good) . Baseball season will be over soon and I should have more time for photography. I took this shot late last winter. Hope you all have a great weekend!
shot with a fujifilm x-s10 and a sigma 150-600mm contemporary telephoto zoom lens, using a fringer ef-fx pro ii smart adapter
** I have been visiting my friends in Hebden in North Yorkshire for many years. They live high on the Dales and its usually a little cool there . That weekend in 2019 it was like the Mediterranean over 30 C which is almost unheard of .
The highlight of the weekend was Hebden sports day a small event, but the villagers all seem too have turned out . My friends were running the throw a beanbag at tin cans stall it was all very high tech .
This shot is the boys under 12 running in a sack race race which is harder than it looks . I am sure you agree the setting for the sports day is pretty splendid
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
Continuing my look back over the last year and posting some of the shots that didn't make it first time around. Part 4: Autumn
No Review of the year could be complete without yet another shot of the fabulous Red Backed Shrike that graced Newhaven for 12 days from 21 September. What an amazing bird, surely a feature in the 2016 highlights of every Sussex birdwatcher.
A selection of my favourite images from 2016 can be seen here
This Eurasian whimbrel (numenius phaeopus) was highlighted by a narrow shaft of sunshine from a mainly grey sky. The effect was to make the bird's plumage appear a lighter shade of brown. Photographed near Belle Mare, in Mauritius.
Thank you all my Friends for your visits, faves, invites and wonderful comments .

Shooting with the Fuji X I can imitate the Nikon photo very closely but chose to do what Fuji X does best: be creative. I started with an in camera processed JPEG image, Softened the highlights & shadows. then ran it through photoshop for a different look: this is the result
While Fuji will never replace Nikon, [but would like Nikon to be more like Fuji X]. It is a viable camera that is easy & fun to use and takes quality photos.
I shot this about an hour earlier than the original, so the light is a bit stronger, and had to compensate by under exposing by about 1 to 2 stops to bring highlights into about zone 6 /7. Then bring up the shadows & blacks in Lightroom.
I have given serious thought to trading in my Nikon gear for a Fuji XT4. WE will see.
