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.

Number 289 of my 365 photo challenge - A night time, landscape image of Seljalandsfoss in Iceland light up by some colourful lights.

We had been travelling for quite a long time by this stage and night came quicker than I had imagined it would. So this was a rather hurried image in order to avoid some random street photography in Selfoss, which wasn't very nice. We were camping in our camper van just near this location, which was truly awesome.

Weekend means it's time for another vintage lens review. A Minolta MD 50mm f/2. A nifty-fifty that's often overlooked, but offers affordable performance.

A sort-of HDR made by merging the LIGHTER parts of a DARKER version with the DARKER parts of a LIGHTER version - if that makes sense. Achieved using software I wrote myself in Visual Studio C#. I have absolutely no idea whether this is possible in Photoshop - since I have never used it. The plan was to render an image as close to how it looked to the naked eye as possible.

I did try using HDR software - but that just highlighted the horizontal banding in the deep shadows one gets with a D7100 - and failed to properly render the stained glass!

HighLight Towers - Munich

Two slim, 113- and 126 meter tail towers, connected by three bridges of glass and steel unmistakably take position at Münchner Tor. The façade was designed by technological and ecological aspects in mind an gives the building a smooth, crystalline appearance. The structure looks light and transparent.

A couple of yrs ago we spent a super weekend away in London, our hotel was just a stones throw away from Westminster Bridge, two days and nights of taking in the sights, sounds and even a show!

I got a pack of scented highlighters and I couldn't wait to use them :)

This gorgeous blonde highland calf came right up to the gate to say hello this afternoon

You know how much I love this view so I thought I'd put my 2 favourite girls in the shot.
