Location: Highlight Towers, München
Architekt: Helmut Jahn
Die beiden ungleich großen Türme aus Glas und Stahl wurden vom Architekten Helmut Jahn entworfen, 2004 fertiggestellt und haben die Form von Parallelogrammen.
Mit 126 und 113 Metern zählen sie zu den höchsten Gebäuden in München. Verbunden werden die Hochhäuser durch eine Zweier-Brückengruppe aus Glas und Stahl. Sie werden als Bürofläche genutzt.

SU42-518 was a must-see for everyone visiting the railway line to Hel for trainspotting, as it had been repainted into the retro scheme of SU42 locomotives from the early 2000s just after the start of the summer season.
The locomotive was originally marked as SP42-195 and "modernised" to the SU42 standard in the year 2000. The modernisation being an exchange of the traditional water boiler to electric heating.
After the modernisation it had been stationed throughout many different depots of PKP, then PKP Przewozy Regionalne and now Polregio, before settling on the Pomeranian section of Polregio in 2022. After its repair in 2023 it started running summer seasonal trains between Chojnice, Gdynia and Hel.
Here the loco can be seen fighting the heavy grade leading from the passenger stop in Swarzewo to a local summit as it hauls a regio train to Hel.

Corsewall Lighthouse is a lighthouse at Corsewall Point, Kirkcolm near Stranraer in the region of Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland. First lit in 1817, it overlooks the North Channel of the Irish Sea. The definition of the name Corsewall is the place or well of the Cross.
In 1814, a Kirkman Finley applied to the Trade of Clyde for a lighthouse on Corsill Point. Robert Stevenson, inspected in December of that year and soon the 30 ft tower and house were in the first stages of construction.
Corsewall Lighthouse was exhibited in 1817 but that year, the Principal Keeper at Corsewall was reported for incompetence after falling asleep on duty as the revolving apparatus of the light had stopped for a certain period. They suspended him and he was to never chiefly monitor a lighthouse again and was demoted as an assistant at Bell Rock.
In November 1970, Concorde reportedly flew over the lighthouse on a trial flight and shattered panes of glass on the lighthouse. Later flights did not affect it.
Although the light is still operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board, since automation in 1994 the rest of Corsewall Lighthouse has been converted into the Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel.

A healthy dose of post processing goodness was used for high contrast!

I got this candid shot of a worker at the Renaissance Festival in the Castle of Muskogee. I had watched her for a while with the sunlight highlighting you hair I wanted to catch that. As I clicked the shutter her eyes followed the crowd in front of her to the point of making lens contact but not focusing on me. This candid shot is why I picked it for the shot of 2019.
Highlight Towers is a twin tower office skyscraper complex completed in 2004 in Munich, Germany.
The towers are joined by two bridges made of glass and steel combine to offer the two planned by architects Murphy/Jahn of Chicago. Tower I is 126 m (413 ft) with 33 storeys, and Tower II is 113 m (371 ft) with 28 storey which make them among the highest buildings in the city. Also in the complex are two low-rise buildings between the twin towers, that serve as a hotel and additional office space. (Wikipedia)

Trying something a little different, colour and composition wise. Wasn't really sure what to photograph today, so stumbled into this one. I actually gave up on this shot and tried some others, but I came back to this and it has grown on me.

Spent a lovely evening wandering around the Highlight Carnival. These were pretty. I really should have looked up best settings before I left ... oh well, lesson for next time!!

Thanks for visiting!
Another shot from Saturday morning. Again at Lake Ogwen looking back towards the west. The dark clouds created some very dark shadows and the gaps in the clouds allowed the sun to shine down on the mountains to create a dramatic contrast change. Combine that with a 51 second exposure with the 10 stopper again and you have this pic :-).
Highlights of my recent trip to Brazil had to be the Iguassu Falls. Planning it when there was going to be a full moon was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Seeing these falls was a life altering experience and seeing them when there was a full moon with a moonbow was over the top. Time of this shot was 10:15pm
Memorable Highlight.
I've always been fascinated by the big cats, and when the opportunity presented itself, I captured as many frames as possible. The leopard was quite calm and relaxed, before he vanished into the bush.

Ich bin zurück aus Hannover und die Herrenhäuser Gärten haben mir am besten gefallen.
Galeriegebäude
Die Galerie wurde zwischen 1694 und 1698 von Brand Westermann erbaut.
Ursprünglich sah der Plan ein lang gestrecktes Gebäude mit zwei pavillonartigen Flügeln vor. Den Mittelbau sollte ein 200 Fuß langer Orangeriesaal zur Überwinterung der Pflanzen einnehmen. Noch während der Bauarbeiten regte Kurfürstin Sophie an, den Zweck des Gebäudes so zu erweitern, dass der große Saal zugleich als Festsaal und die Flügelbauten auch zum Wohnen genutzt werden können.
I am back from Hanover and these Herrenhausen Gardens impressed me most.
Gallery building
The gallery was built in 1694-1698 by Brand Westermann.
Originally, the plan was a long building with two pavilion-like wings. The central block should take a 200 feet long Orangerie room for overwintering plants. Even during construction suggested Princess Sophie to broaden the purpose of the building so that the large hall can be used as a banquet hall and the wings also to live at the same time.
