This is the main building. It's as deep front to back as it is across this frontage. The Restaurant and campsite are across the road. PS I added the cracks to make it look more authentic.

during a photo session at beach those two showed up and gave us a nice show , so we took advantage of it ;)
Zwischen dem Großmeisterpalast und der Kirche Panagia tou Kastrou erstreckt sich mit der Odos Ippoton bzw. Ritterstraße auf eine Länge von etwa 250 Metern eine der wohl besterhaltenen mittelalterlichen Straßen Europas.
Hier reihen sich einige imposante Gebäude aneinander, die alle einheitlich aus ockerfarbenem Stein errichtet wurden und größtenteils aus dem 15. und 16. Jahrhundert stammen, als Rhodos der Hauptsitz des Johanniterordens.
Between the Palace of the Grand Masters and the Church of Panagia tou Kastrou, the Odos Ippoton or Street of the Knights, one of the best-preserved medieval streets in Europe, stretches for about 250 meters.
Here are a number of imposing buildings, all of the same ocher stone, dating mostly from the 15th and 16th centuries, when Rhodes was the headquarters of the Order of Saint John

"The Golden Knights are made up of several expert teams and skilled professionals who all play a critical role in the US Army’s success. This includes parachute teams, aircraft pilots, and even those behind-the-scenes handling jump logistics. Whether jumping out of planes going 120 miles per hour from 12,500 feet or landing with expert precision, they embrace the thrill of adventure and feel proud while doing it."
I snapped this photo shortly after this freefall parachuting tandem team jumped out directly under the midday sun. With a 1000mm focal length and atmospheric haze, sharpness was not to be, but to my delight, I captured part of the sundog and its rainbow.
Needless to say, their skills were amazing!
May each one of us take inspiration this Memorial Day from the patriotism of the brave soldiers who died for our country!
Olè always reminds me of the knight in the chess pieces. I use to play chess with my father.
I took this photo years ago with the first digital camera I owned, my Canon 300D rebel camera. In fact I preferred it to my Canon D7. The D7 creates far too much noise too. It did not meet my expectations, I thought it was an upgrade, but that wasn't really the case, apart from the size of the images.
Unfortunately, I am not in a position to upgrade my camera, so I mostly use the photos to create manipulated pictures to make up for my cheap and cheerful equipment.

This was a fun one. I am starting to understand night sky photography takes practice and forethought. Just showing up to a strange location at 3am thinking you’re going to nail an amazing keeper is not really reality. I'm still learning, making mistakes on this Milky Way stuff, was happy to pull this one off.
This is twenty-three (10 second) exposures stacked in Sequator.
A dark purple gladioli photograhed this afternoon, Sunday 5th July, 2020, along Edgeworth David Drive at Hornsby, in northern Sydney. I discovered it by sheer accident as I was walking to the Waitara Magpies Club to watch the NRL football match on the big screen!!
And there it was, all alone in the late afternoon in mid-winter, growing against a yellow-painted concrete wall in a most urban, and un-garden like precinct in Hornsby - opposite the car-park entry into the giant Hornsby Westfield shopping centre. No other gladioli friends in sight, and only a clump of orange nasturtions nearby for support. Quite a bizarre thing.
Photographed with a Samsung Galaxy S20+ mobile phone camera, and processed in Snapseed whilst watching the Newcastle Knights currently leading the Manly-Warringah Sea-Eagles, 14-6, in the NRL.
So, a 'Dark Knight' I am calling it. But wait, a score update - it's Knights 14-12. Very close!
And this was the final score - so the Dark Knight wins!!

Fact that old story, a brave knight killed by a gang of murderous criminal, unjust
All soldiers battled and stayed alone ..
And killed a large number of them with courage
Then treacherously killed him because they are cowards
The Prayer-book of Medieval Knights, "The Path's spiritual energy uses justice and patience to prepare your spirit. This is the Knight's Path. An easy way and, together, difficult, because it makes you abandon all useless things and friendships related. For this, first one feels very hesitant about following it. Here is the first lesson of Chivalry: you will erase what you've written so far on your life's notebook: turmoil, insecurities, lies. and you write, instead of this, the word courage. "
Paulo Coelho
One shot taken last summer.
Preparations for the Giostra del Saracino, a reenactment in medieval costume, which takes place in Piazza Grande in Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy, presumably from the thirteenth century.
Here again they are not dressed in costumes and it's really hard to take pictures, because there are many people around the square. In the link you can also see photos of the reenactment, surely made by photographers with super strong objectives and privileged positions : ))
I just hope to have transmitted the famous "mood" : )
