Kitty is an indoor/outdoor cat. This time of year she is outdoors a lot more. Today, the silly kitty thought she could catch a couple of birds in the tree. They fly a lot faster than she can jump.
Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church is a Greek Orthodox Church Cathedral in Fleischmarkt, Vienna (Austria), the historic Greek neighborhood of Vienna. The building was designed by Danish-Austrian architect Theophil Hansen in Byzantine Revival style.
Since 1963 the cathedral has been the seat of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Austria.
This is the area between the two gates to enter the castle. You break
the first gate, and boiling oil and arrows rain down on you as you try
to break the second (guess).
Warwick Castle, UK, 4 April 2007.
Nice relaxed start to the day, then this afternoon I got packed up and caught the train and tube over to Kings Cross St Pancras. Bought myself some dinner in the M&S Food there (and some Worcester Sauce flavour crisps for my American friend!), then checked in to catch the Eurostar to Paris.
Had a good journey, and arrived just before 10pm local time. Caught the Metro to Parmentier and, after a bit of walking backwards and forwards trying to work out which direction I was supposed to be going, found the apartment where my friend Kristi is staying.
She came down and let me in, and we had a couple of glasses of wine and a bit of a catch up before heading to bed (sofa for me) just before midnight (only 11pm at home - really quite civilised).
Playing with split tone today after seeing a tutorial.
Please let me know your thoughts or any tips to improve.
Thanks.
Back from a long absence, I need to catch up with e-mails and contacts. Also, I need to upload many photos from the places I've been hiding at in the last few weeks.
... ein Teil der Burgruine "Weißenstein", nahe der Stadt "Regen" Bayerischer Wald.
Die Burgruine Weißenstein befindet sich im Bayerischen Wald in der Ortschaft Weißenstein auf einem Quarzfelsen des “Pfahls”. Die Burg wurde durch die Grafen von Bogen um 1100 erbaut. Nach dem Aussterben dieses Grafengeschlechts 1242 fiel die Burg an die bayerischen Herzöge. 1308 belehnten die bayerischen Herzöge Otto und Stephan von Niederbayern den Ritter Eberwein von Degenberg mit der Burgherrschaft. 1339/40 wurde die Burg Eigentum der Degenberger. Die Degenberger blieben hier bis zu ihrem Aussterben im Jahr 1602 durch den Tod von Hans Sigmund von Degenberg. Die Burg fiel an Kurfürst Maximilian I., der hier den Sitz des kurfürstlichen Pflegers errichtete. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg wurde die Burg 1633 von den Schweden verwüstet. 1740 stürzte die Südseite der Burg ein, 1742 zerstörte Franz von der Trenck mit seinen Panduren die Burg endgültig.

I meant to take a picture of the hundred birds that landed in the tulip tree. It's so tall, the birds were almost indistinguishable from the little buds on the branches. The birds swooped in all at once, made a racket for half an hour, and then took off again the moment my shutter clicked.
Signs of spring. Happy new year.
