Highlight Towers - Munich - Germany
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).

A lovely sunrise this morning but unable to rush out due to cracked ribs after a heavy fall on the ice onto my back last Monday which has all but laid me up.

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!
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.
Late afternoon at Hambersham is always a dramatic spot especially in Fall as late afternoon sun highlights the trees and exhaust of a southbound coal train trying to climb Duff Mountain.
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.
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like these maple leaves, which are just starting to get a hint of the rich gold, orange and red tones they will soon have.
Melbourne has experienced a wonderful Indian summer this year, and as a result, not only are there still plenty of beautiful blooms about, but the Autumnal colours are starting to appear.
Ein wahres Highlight kündigte sich bereits am Morgen an. Und zwar die MAED gehörende 155 138, diese war gen Norden unterwegs und konnte mit einem Freundlichen Tf auf dem Bock vor dem Hp Wernfeld fotografiert werden.
These sunlit weeping cherry leaves looked even brighter against the Japanese red maple and sky in the front yard.
There is no sin in being on the pathway; the spiritualists are wrong. But there is a sin in loving our road instead of our home; the materialists are wrong. There is no sin in being on the road, in being corporeal, in being finite, in being homo viator, in having responsibility for things outside, below, and now; there is only sin in settling for the lesser, and not letting it awaken an appetite for the greater.
-LITURGICAL MYSTICISM, DAVID W. FAGERBERG
We're still coated with ice and now 8 inches of snow, as well. A most beautiful way to end the year. This Red Twig Dogwood entirely coated in sparkling ice.
Another picture shot from my second home, ‘Albert Square, Manchester’. On this particular day the sun was very bright giving really dark shadows and extremely bright highlights, but to be honest I quite like that…!
El patio-claustro de la Delegación de Cultura en Córdoba se ha cerrado con cristal de arriba a abajo para climatización.Es un sitio acogedor y creo que bien hecho.
The courtyard-cloister of the Culture Department in Córdoba has been enclosed with glass from top to bottom for climate control. It's a welcoming place and I think it's well done.

The late afternoon sun caught this tree branch and lit it up. After another damp dreary day it was quite a sight.
Looking down the two levels of an aged rusty staircase at Z Ward.
Z Ward was a separate building at the Glenside Mental Hospital that catered for the criminally insane. Built in 1885, it is now empty and preserved by the National Trust.
