Landscape Week Continues! While admittedly breaking textbook composition rules, I believe there are times when the photo's elements dictate doing so. And in this shot, I love the way the vertical & horizontal elements all come together near the horizon to pull you along the waving fence line.

I already posted a summer version of Maria Eich (see comments) and I'll just insert the same text here:
The pilgrimage church Maria Eich has quite a history of miracles:
In 1710 the blacksmith sons Franz and Kaspar Thallmayr from Planegg placed a Loreto image of Mary in a hollow oak. Twenty two years later a day laborer made a pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary in the oak tree and recovered from an injury. As early as 1734, the influx of those in need was so great that a hut was built that surrounded the tree with the miraculous image. In 1742 a brick church building was built around the oak, which was consecrated on May 18, 1768. A hermitage was built in 1745, which also served as a school from 1790 to 1804.
Maria Eich gained supraregional importance in 1775 when the Bavarian Elector Max III. Joseph held a par force hunt in the forest. A hunted deer sought refuge by the chapel. The elector saw the miraculous image and spared the animal. To commemorate this event, a memorial plaque was attached to the chapel after the elector's death.
Maria Eich is still a popular pilgrimage destination, no pilgrims today though.
I don't have a name for the picture but another picture at Right of Conquest in the cove! Apply and let Katrynna charm you!

All the photos I present were taken on the beaches of Taormina and its surroundings (Sicily-Italy); I made photos related to "beach photography" (a genre similar to "street photography");
... I photographed young and old people ... with a great desire for the sea and a great desire to dive into the sea to swim (even if the sea water is still a little cold now ...); I made some photo-portraits of people I didn't know, I thank them very much for their sympathy and their availability; I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking along the beaches ... in search of fleeting moments ...
I used a particular photographic technique for some photographs at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production

Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate sulle spiagge di Taormina e dintorni (Sicilia-Italia); ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “beach photography” (un genere affine alla “street photography”);
ho fotografato persone giovani e meno giovani…con tanta voglia di mare e tanta voglia di immergersi in mare per fare qualche nuotata (anche se l’acqua del mare adesso è ancora un po’ fredda…); ho realizzato dei foto-ritratti di persone che non conoscevo, le ringrazio veramente tanto per la loro simpatia e la loro disponibilità; ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per sulle spiagge... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.---------------------------------------------------------

All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina;
I made photos related to "street photography";
I photographed people who, for the most part, I had never met before, performing their portraits, I thank them for their sympathy and availability;
The volcano Etna, in recent days has shown an intense eruptive activity, I photographed that spectacular eruptions from Taormina;
I tried to capture minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street .. ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.

Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina;
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho fotografato persone che, per la maggior parte, non avevo incontrato prima, eseguendo dei loro ritratti, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità;
il vulcano Etna, nei giorni scorsi ha mostrato una intensa attività eruttiva, anche con intensi fenomeni chiamati "fontane di lava", emissioni a getto continuo perdurate intensamente per molti minuti, di altissime "fontane" di magma incandescente, molto spettacolari e non comuni, le fotografie dell'Etna sono state realizzate da Taormina;
ho provato a cogliere storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

If you wish to view more images, of Oxburgh Hall, please click "here"
I would be most grateful if you would refrain from inserting images, and/or group invites; thank you!
Oxburgh Hall is a moated country house in Oxborough, Norfolk, England, today in the hands of the National Trust. Built around 1482 by Sir Edmund Bedingfeld, Oxburgh has always been a family home, not a fortress. The manor of Oxborough came to the Bedingfeld family by marriage before 1446, and the house has been continuously inhabited by them since their construction of it in 1482, the date of Edward Bedingfeld's licence to crenellate. A fine example of a late medieval, inward-facing great house, Oxburgh stands within a square moat about 75 metres on each side, and was originally enclosed; the hall range facing the gatehouse was pulled down in 1772 for Sir Richard Bedingfeld, providing a more open U-shaped house, with the open end of the U facing south. The entrance, reached by a three-arched bridge on the north side, is dramatised by a grand fortified gatehouse, evoking the owner's power and prestige, though as fortification its value is largely symbolic; it is flanked by tall polygonal towers rising in seven tiers, with symmetrical wings extending either side that reveal nothing on the exterior of their differing internal arrangements. About 1835 the open end of the U was filled in with a picturesque, by no means archaeologically correct range that recreated the central courtyard. Other Victorian additions include the Flemish-style stepped gables, the massive southeast tower, the oriel windows overhanging the moat (illustration, left) and terracotta chimneys. Four towers were added to the walled kitchen garden. The hall is well known for its priest hole. Due to the Catholic faith of the Bedingfeld family, a Catholic priest may have had to hide within the small disguised room in the event of a raid. The room is reached via a trapdoor, which when closed blends in with the tiled floor. Unlike many similar priest holes, the one at Oxburgh is open to visitors. The hall is also notable for the Oxburgh Hangings, needlework hangings by Mary, Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick. Mary worked on these while imprisoned in England, in the custody of the Earl of Shrewsbury. The estate has a number of woodland walks, including a 'Woodland Explorer' trail. Oxburgh Hall is a popular location for film and television series, including brief appearances in the Dad's Army episode "Museum Piece", and later in You Rang, M'Lord?. It was the major setting for the 1994 television dramatisation of Love on a Branch Line, a novel by John Hadfield. It is a Grade I listed building, the highest-level designation.

LA ESCOLLERA
"Camino largo
se inserta profundo
irrumpe la marea.
El malecón
es el transito,
se apuntala a sus lados.
La escollera.
una fortaleza
de rocas siniestras
que golpean las olas.
Lejos se arroja
la lanza de sedal
que el pez la recoja.
Llueve en sus costados,
impacta el salitre
y moja el rostro
cual garua vertical
en el tejado.
En su fortaleza de piedra
no hay espacio para el mimbre.
La hora bañada se recuesta
al hombro de la escollera.
En la humedad de cuerpo mojado
la tanza del pescador es mella."
Ricardo Álvarez
INVASIVE NATIVE
I've posted an image of this unusual plant because of its unique life cycle. Dodder is an annual seed-bearing vine found throughout the world. Dodder seeds germinate in the soil and live on their own for 5 to 10 days until they can find a suitable host plant, or they will die. As the thin thread-like stems rapidly grow entwinning the host, numerous modified roots (haustoria) are inserted into the stem of the host plant and tap the host for water and nutrients. After successfully attaching to the host, the Dodder will then sever its connection to the soil and rely totally on the host plant for survival.
I like this very much. It shows an originality of thought by one of the students in the protest. Whilst most of the slogans scrawled on the walls are (let's put it mildly) derivative - at the level of propaganda - this one student makes a cultural reference that shows an awareness well beyond their years.
Holy flare, right? I couldn't believe it when I uploaded! I got alot of flares on alot of pictures yesterday. Guess the sun was just right. Thought it was kinda cool! :P
Happy Sunday everyone!

All the photos I present were taken on the two suggestive beaches overlooking Taormina, the Isola Bella beach and the Mazzarò bay beach respectively; these two beaches, both known for their enchanting beauty, have been the scene of stories that few know, time has only partially healed ancient tears; Mazzarò was chosen by a family of unfortunate Jews made up of four people, who, persecuted by the Nazi-Fascist ferocity, decided to commit suicide by tying all four together with a rope, then weighed down with stones, they let themselves slip from a boat into the deep waters near the Mazzarò rock, called “Scogghia Longa”; the "Isola Bella" (its original name was "rock of Santo Stefano") was named by an English noblewoman, Lady Florence Trevelyan, a relative of Queen Victoria, who did so much for Taormina (a woman of truly extraordinary qualities), tells of a young English officer who died on a ship on which he was embarked, a Brigantine who patrolled the Strait of Messina to discourage Napoleonic soldiers from disembarking from Calabria in Sicily, the captain out of respect for the Royal Family (to which, let's remember, Lady Florence belonged), instead of entrusting her body to the sea as was the custom at the time, she had it buried on top of the island. I made photos related to "beach photography" (a genre similar to "street photography"); I have photographed young and old people… with a great desire for the sea and a great desire to dive into the water to do some swimming; I made some photo-portraits of people I did not know, I thank them very much for their sympathy and their availability; I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking on the beaches ... in search of fleeting fleeting moments ...
I used a particular photographic technique for some photographs at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production .

Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate sulle due suggestive spiagge prospicienti Taormina, rispettivamente la spiaggia dell’Isola Bella, e la spiaggia della baia di Mazzarò; queste due spiagge, entrambe conosciute per la loro incantevole bellezza, sono state teatro di storie che pochi conoscono, il tempo ha solo in parte guarito antiche lacrime; Mazzarò fu scelta da una famiglia di sventurati ebrei composta da quattro persone, i quali, perseguitati dalla ferocia nazi-fascista, decisero di suicidarsi legandosi tutti e quattro tra loro con una corda, poi appesantiti con pietre, si lasciarono scivolare da una barca nelle profonde acque nei pressi dello scoglio di Mazzarò, chiamato “scogghia Longa”; l’Isola Bella (il suo nome originario era “scoglio di Santo Stefano”) fu così chiamata da un nobildonna inglese, lady Florence Trevelyan, parente della regina Vittoria, che tanto si prodigò per Taormina (una donna dalle qualità veramente straordinarie), si narra di un giovane ufficiale inglese che morì su di una nave sulla quale era imbarcato, un Brigantino che pattugliava lo stretto di Messina per scoraggiare i soldati Napoleonici dallo sbarcare dalla Calabria in Sicilia, il capitano per rispetto della Famiglia Reale (alla quale, ricordiamoci, apparteneva lady Florence), invece di affidarne il corpo al mare come si usava all’epoca, lo fece seppellire in cima all’Isola. Ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “beach photography” (un genere affine alla “street photography”); ho fotografato persone giovani e meno giovani…con tanta voglia di mare e tanta voglia di immergersi in acqua per fare qualche nuotata; ho realizzato alcuni foto-ritratti di persone che non conoscevo, le ringrazio veramente tanto per la loro simpatia e la loro disponibilità; ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando sulle spiagge... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.---------------------------------------------------------
