Here's another one from an "urbexing light" guided tour at the Olympic Village of 1936 with 3-day-beard / 3-tage-bart, bananahh and magritknapp. Here you can see one of the athletes' accomodations. Most of these single-storey houses, which were all named after German regions / cities and which were also arranged according to the map of Germany, have been torn down, the others are all bricked up just like the one in my photo, with one exception: the former "Haus Meissen", now "Jesse-Owens-Haus", which was the house Jesse Owens stayed at during the Olympic Summer Games of 1936. Next to the natatorium, the Jesse-Owens-Haus is the only building at the Olympic Village that has been renovated. For more info on the Olympic Village please check my album, if you like.
I haven't posted this capture earlier because of the the totally blown out highlights in the sky (except for a few clouds right above the building which you can still see). I also wasn't exactly keen on the painstaking, sooo fiddly task of manually replacing the sky with something nicer looking in PS. I'd done that once with another photo, and it took hours to mask out all the small details with the brush tool. So when I received my download link for the new Luminar 4 this week, I thought this capture would not only be a perfect canditate for Sliders Sunday, but also for Luminar's brand new "AI sky replacement" tool. Et voilà: I'm very impressed. It seems to be a really convenient solution to jazz up captures with dull, boring, blown out, overexposed skies with one click and a few slider adjustments. There are quite a few sky presets to choose from (I chose one of the "dramatic sunset" presets), but you can also use your own sky images.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, and have a great week ahead!
Hier eine weitere Aufnahme aus dem Olympischen Dorf der Sommerspiele von 1936 in Elstal bei Berlin. Hier seht ihr eines der Sportlerwohnhäuser. Die eingeschossigen, für die spätere Verwendung als Kasernenunterkünfte für die Wehrmacht solide gebauten Häuser wurden alle nach deutschen Städten / Regionen benannt und auf dem Gelände auch nach ihrer Lage auf der Landkarte angeordnet. Die meisten der Unterkünfte sind abgerissen oder, wie hier, zugemauert, lediglich das ehemalige Haus Meißen, nach seinem berühmtesten Bewohner heute Jesse-Owens-Haus genannt, wurde erhalten und restauriert.
Dieses Foto schlummerte in diversen Bearbeitungen wegen des fast komplett (bis auf wenige Wolken, immer noch sichtbar direkt über dem Haus) ausgefressenen Himmels auf meiner Festplatte und wäre dort wohl auch noch eine Weile geblieben, hätte nicht die nigelnagelneue Luminar-Version 4 ein geniales neues Tool an Bord: das "AI-Sky-Replacement-Werkzeug". Ein Klick auf ein Himmelsfoto der Wahl (eigene gehen natürlich auch) - und der Himmel wird in Sekunden ausgetauscht. Kein stundenlanges, akribisches Rumgepinsel in der PS-Maske mehr ;-) Jetzt habe ich natürlich nicht vor, jeden Himmel in jedem Foto auszutauschen, aber wann immer ein Bild danach verlangt, weil die Belichtung nicht stimmte oder der Himmel einfach nur langweilig wolkenlos blau oder grau war... warum nicht, wenn das ein Foto ohne ewiges Nachretuschieren rettet :-)
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

The Riverside Walk Trail in Zion National Park. A view of the Virgin River winding thru Mystery Canyon. This is between the Temple of Sinawava and The Narrows. The trail is a short and mostly flat hike. Parking is limited at the trailhead though but there are buses. This park is a great day trip from Las Vegas. There is also lodging here if you need an early start on a trail. A hiker's paradise. #NPS #ZionNationalPark #RiversideWalkTrail
The leading families of St. Catharines resided in stately homes along Yates Street and the banks of the original Welland Canal. Built in 1905, in the Queen Anne style, Springbank House occupies the site of an earlier city landmark, the Springbank Hotel and Spa, and later, Bishop Ridley College. This prestigious, 100-year-old residence, which was in the Taylor Family for over 70 years, was renamed Springbank House after Kathy Taylor and her husband Tim purchased and restored it.

Near our lodging in Death Valley National park I encountered a Greater Roadrunner. I named it Bamm-Bamm. I watched as it snuck up on a blackbird, grabbed it. and started slaming it into the ground until it was dead. It did this for a few minutes, while other blackbirds watched from a distance.
From March 2015 - first 66 trip out west.
Looking at other folks' photos of a recent trip have me longing to be out in New Mexico again. Since I can't make the journey anytime soon, thought I'd dip into the archives and re-live some old excursions.
Life has been so challenging the last few years, I've had little time to enjoy my photos or share them on flickr. Hoping to change all that . . . this time for sure! ; )
In March 2007, I travelled to Salt Lake City on business. One weekend, I booked a tour and explored the area. “This Is The Place Heritage Park” was the stop on the tour I enjoyed the most.
It sits on the eastern edge of Salt Lake City, right at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, and features a historic *Pioneer Village* with wooden houses, log cabins, workshops, and a church. This is where Brigham Young and the first Mormon pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. This moment is considered the founding moment of what would later become the city of Salt Lake City.
In addition to its pioneering history, the park is also dedicated to the history and culture of Utah's indigenous peoples. Unfortunately, my guide did not take me to this part of the park.
I had my first digital camera with me, a Kodak. It was the time when I had put my film SLR aside and switched completely to digital but I had not yet stepped into DSLR.

This was really quite an adventure of a MOC. I started working on this idea over a year and a half ago, without much success. Thanks to the introduction of many more new brown parts to my collection though, I have finally been able to pull off what I originally envisioned. Additionally, this time I really made an attempt at getting this MOC to be sturdy. Mostly a proof of concept endeavor, but also as a test for my own building skills.

this landmark hotel was established in 1852. i added mirror fx and a bit of cloning for the sake of symmetry. see another view in comment box below.
The palace, or "Great Lodging", was constructed between 1597 and 1611 by Sir George Bruce, the Laird of Carnock. The house was mainly built in two campaigns. The south block in 1597 and the north building in 1611, the year when George Bruce was knighted. Bruce was a successful merchant who had a flourishing trade with other Forth ports, the Low Countries and Sweden. He had interests in coal mining, salt production, and shipping, and is credited with sinking the world's first coal mine to extend under the sea.
Many of the materials used in the construction of the palace were obtained during the course of Bruce's foreign trade. Baltic pine, red pantiles, and Dutch floor tiles and glass were all used. The exterior boasts the use of crow-stepped gables, including a statue of a veiled woman posing on the gable step. The palace features fine interiors, with decorative mural and ceiling painting, 17th and 18th century furniture and a fine collection of Staffordshire and Scottish pottery.
Although never a royal residence, James VI visited the Palace in 1617. The palace is now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland who have restored a model seventeenth-century garden, complete with raised beds, a covered walkway and crushed shell paths. The herbs, vegetables and fruit trees planted in the garden are types that were used in the early seventeenth century.
The renaissance paintwork was restored in 1932 for the National Trust and again in the 1990s by conservators from Historic Environment Scotland. On the second floor of the south block a ceiling painting includes 16 emblems adapted from Geffrey Whitney's A Choice of Emblemes (London, 1586). The north block has the fragmentary remains of a scene showing the Judgement of Solomon, and extensive original decorative painting
Taquile (Spanish: Isla de Taquile; Quechua: Intika) is an island on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca 45 km offshore from the city of Puno.
The inhabitants, known as Taquileños, speak Puno Quechua.
Taquileños are known for their fine handwoven textiles and clothing, which are regarded as among the highest-quality handicrafts in Peru. Knitting is exclusively performed by males, beginning in early boyhood. Women spin wool and use vegetables and minerals to dye the wool to be used by the community. Women are also the weavers of the Chumpis, the wide belts with woven designs worn by everyone in the community of Taquile.
Taquileans are known for having created an innovative, community-controlled sustainable tourism model, offering home stays, transportation, lodging for groups, cultural activities, local guides and restaurants.
Royal Crescent is a crescent-shaped terrace of houses on the seafront in Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. Built in the late 18th and early 19th century as a speculative development on the open cliffs east of Brighton by a wealthy merchant, the 14 lodging houses formed the town's eastern boundary until about 1820. It was the seaside resort's first planned architectural composition, and the first built intentionally to face the sea. The variety of building materials used include black glazed mathematical tiles—a characteristic feature of Brighton's 18th-century architecture. English Heritage has listed the crescent at Grade II* for its architectural and historical importance.
Standing on Pennington Street looking toward The Highway. It is alleged that Mary Jane Kelly was lodging at a house run by a Mrs Carthy in 1886. Its not known whether or not this is true because we know virtually nothing about Mary Jane Kelly.

This was taken while standing in the back of a moving truck. In El Salvador they use small trucks for short haul bussing. A pipe framework holds up a tarp covering and a single pipe-rail around the middle to keep passengers from falling out (standing only).

I've been living at my folk's house during the week days for the last year since returning to work in the SF Bay Area. They've been in their house for 55 years. Last week, they sold it and plan to move to smaller quarters.
My folk's impending move kicked off a whirlwind of action for me as I needed to find new lodgings on the quick. I searched Craigslist and found all manner of rooms to look at, Sadly, most them were pretty bad, if not down right weird. There was a room with an elderly German man who lived in a masonry castle on a hill. The place was slovenly and he had placed 5 gallon pickle barrels around all the interior beams to catch the rain water from the numerous copious leaks. I looked at one place where the first thing the occupant asked me was who I was voting for. I looked at a room in a three bedroom house that had 2 other families with two kids each living there. And, to add to the agony, all of the owners were asking top dollar.
Finally, I got lucky and found a nice little studio with a private entrance and bathroom in Palo Alto. I'm glad that's over. I thought I might have to get a trailer and park it in the woods.

This hotel sure has one the best waterfront locations in this area... Check out the images in the comment for additional views as well.
Have a fantastic Friday, everyone...
Right across our hotel in Amsterdam, there was this apartment hotel with a sharp corner at one end. It appeared to be functional as I clearly saw dwellings were built around it. Here, I stood across the street and made a snapshot of that corner.
