"Chance encounters are what keep us going." ... Haruki Murakami
For one brief moment, our eyes met. I had no treats to offer...just a chance to capture the moment in time. I was happy. I don't know how the carp felt about it all.
Vom Westufer des Kemnader Sees ist der grün/weiß gestrichene Leuchtturm gut zu sehen. Für die Ausflugsschiffe, die im Sommer auf dem See verkehren, ist der Leuchtturm bei schlechtem Wetter eine willkommene Hilfe. Mit Leuchttürmen an der Nord- oder Ostsee ist dieser kleine Turm natürlich nicht zu vergleichen. Nach längerem Herumprobieren konnte ich mit einer Brennweite von 62.0mm und einer Verschlusszeit von 1/320sec sowohl das Ufer im Vordergrund wie auch die Landzunge mit dem kleinen Leuchtturm im oberen Bildbereich scharf abbilden obwohl ich kein Stativ benutzte.

The lighthouse, painted green and white, is clearly visible from the western shore of Lake Kemnade. The lighthouse is a welcome help when the weather is bad for the excursion boats that operate on the lake in summer. Of course, this small tower cannot be compared with lighthouses on the North or Baltic Seas. After a long trial and error, I was able to use a focal length of 62.0mm and a shutter speed of 1/320sec to get a sharp image of both the shore in the foreground and the headland with the small lighthouse in the upper image area, even though I didn't use a tripod.

等持院 心字池
Toji-in was founded in 1341 by Lord Ashikaga as a family temple, under supervision of priest Soseki Muso who was then one of the most famous landscape gardener (and who later founded Tenryu-ji). The garden of Toji-in is one of the few surviving gardens designed by Soseki.
The main garden is divided in two parts. The western one is closest to the main hall and organized around the winding pond. slightly above the garden is a well known tea house 'Seiren-tei'. The second, eastern part of the garden has taller trees and is thus much darker. It is a place of moss and maple trees. South of the main hall is another smaller garden, of the "dry landscape" type (karesansui).
Toji-in is located right south of the Ritsumeikan University which is one of the major campus in Kyoto.
Last week I came back from a fishing trip in Ireland. We had good days with beer, wine and we tried some Irish whiskey. I bought myself a few small bottles (5 cl) Irish whiskey as a souvenir to remember these great days.
16mm macro extension tube plus 7Artisans manual lens at F16; edited in macOS Mojave and in Luminar. Replica of the ivory head (about 2cm) of Philip II of Macedonia from around 336 BC, Vergina, northern Greece. Philip was the father of Alexander the Great. The nose seems to say it all.
While cooking breakfast I noticed the jagged membrane of my egg. I also shot a portion of an amethyst geode but felt that this was perfectly jagged.
Vuelvo al macro con energias renovadas. He recuperado por un precio irrisorio un duplicador macro Foca hr7 que me convierte el 50mm 1.8 en un 100mm 2.8 con macro 1:1
Esto es una primera prueba para ver si funciona y ni mucho menos es 1:1. Creo que incluso es de mejor calidad que el que tenia vivitar. Por 25 lereles :-)
Creo que el próximo articulo del fotoblog lo documentaré. Darme una semana y subiré un analisis del parato. Lo encontrareis aquí: xd-nova-imatge-disseny.blogspot.com/

京都 青蓮院門跡 相阿弥の庭
Shōren-in (青蓮院) is a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. Also known as the Awata Palace, it was built in the late 13th century. Shinran Shonin, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu pure land sect, was ordained a monk at Shōren-in at the age of nine.
Shōren-in was formerly the temple of the imperial abbot of the Tendai headquarters on Mount Hiei; the abbot was required to be chosen from the imperial family or high court aristocracy. After the Great Kyoto Fire of 1788, it was used as a temporary imperial palace. The main hall was rebuilt in 1895.

This garden featuring artificial hills and spring is created at the base of Mt. Awata and said to have been designed by Soami 相阿弥 during the Muromachi era.
In the right side is a semicircular stone bridge known as Koryu-no-hashi 跨龍橋which is built from two types of granites.
Located at the centre is a big stone.its shape resemble an appearance of the back of a dragon bathing in the pond closely.
So this pond is called Ryujin-no-ike that means "the pond of Dragon" as the shape .

Oui, je sais, c'est horrible!La nature est parfois cruelle!Mais après une petite recherche, c'est fort intéressant cette histoire;)EN gros, j'ai trouvé hier cette pauvre mouche.Une mouche morte en train de se cristalliser.Visiblement parasitée par un champignon portant le joli nom de Entomophthora muscae.Ce champignon parasite les mouches, "force" la mouche à aller se percher sur un point en hauteur, à écarter les ailes puis il la tue en lachant les spores, spores qui grâce à ce stratagème ont une chance de dispersion maximale. Affreux non?La nature est incroyable et parfois cruelle.
En voulant tourner ensuite la fleur, le corps est parti...Ne laissant plus que la tête.
Le champignon tueur est utilisé comme insecticide naturel.

京都 圓光寺 十牛の庭
Zen Garden ”Jugyu no niwa"- The Garden of Ten Bulls"
This garden is named "The Garden of Ten Bulls" (Jugyu-no-niwa in Japanese) ,which cames from the set of ten pictures /poems "The Ten Bulls" which depicts the ten path leading to the enlightenment of Zen medition.
In the pictures the bulls are depicted as a true self. : the bull runs away from a ranch once ,but the shepherd takes it back in the end. and in this case the shepher is shown as so-call "thyself" also.In other words the shepler pursues himself,seeks for the true aspect of himself.
This is a really interesting story ..and when shooting this place I always wonder if the stones reflects "myself"..? so I've tried to focuse on the biggest snow-capped Bull (stone) in the middle this time also,...perhapes that would be "myself"..
Thank you for your interest and seeing my photo :)

In 1601,the Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa 徳川家康 built Enkouji Temple in Fushimi,Kyoto as an educational institution.He invited Zen Priest Genkitsu( Kanshitsu) Snayo,the 9th Headmaster of the Ashikaga School of Shimotsuke( a region near Tokyo) ,to be its first Headmaster.Entokuji Temple School was opend to the general public and not exclusively to Buddhist monks.The temple published numerous books including "The School Sayings of Confucious" and "Essentials of the Zhenguan Period Government". These books are known as the Fushimi editions 伏見版 or the Enkouji editions圓光寺版.
The 50,000 original wooden printing blocks used for publishing these are preserved at the temple today and are known as the oldest such blocks in Japan.
The temple was moved to Shokuji temple 相国寺 and then to its present location in 1667.
Legend has it that the famous sculptor ,Unkei 運慶 produced the principal image of the temple,"The Kannon",a Bodhisattva with a thousand arms本尊 千手観世音菩薩坐像.The Enkouji collection also boasts two important cultural propeties,a statue of its founder,Genkitsu and a pair of six-fold screen paintings of bamboo forests by the master painter ,Oukyo Maruyama.
Beyond the temple gate,there is a Honryu tei 奔龍庭,a Karesansui garden. ( I'm going to upload some the Honryu-tei pictures as soon as I sort them out)
Past the garden lies the inner gate leading to the Jyugyu-noniwa ( This is it ),a garden known for its beautiful cutumn colours.Seiryu-chi,the oldest pond in northern Kyoto,is paired with the delicate natural sounds of a Shikin-kutsu, a Japanese garden ornament,to create the subline stillness of these temple grounds,
