Once an adventurous woman, Grandma Lila had grown tired and found solace in the quiet moments of life. One day, as she was sitting in her rocking chair, she realized that her most cherished memories were slipping away from her. She knew that she needed to do something to preserve them before they were lost forever.
She decided to pickle all her best memories in jam jars. She spent hours in her kitchen, carefully selecting the best ingredients for each jar - a sprinkle of laughter, a dash of love, a pinch of adventure, and a spoonful of warmth. She sealed each jar with a loving kiss and placed them on a shelf in her pantry.
As the days passed, Grandma Lila found herself returning to her memories, unscrewing a jar and taking a whiff of its contents. She marvelled at how each jar held a unique aroma, each scent taking her back to a different time in her life.
The jar labelled "Summer Days" smelled of fresh-cut grass and the sound of children playing. The jar labelled "First Love" smelled of roses and held the flutter of a young heart. The jar labelled "Family Gatherings" smelled of warm apple pie and carried the sound of laughter around the dinner table.
Through the jars, Grandma Lila was able to relive her happiest moments, savouring each memory as if it were a precious gift.
Years went by, and Grandma Lila grew older. But the jars remained, preserving her memories for generations to come.

I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again.

With no photography trips happening this year due to having to get some things fixed up around the house, which is the downside of buying an older home as I suppose eventually the chickens come home to roost, I decided to take some mental vacations and go through a few shots that didn't get posted back then.
This is a shot from the Hungry Horse Dam area of Montana.
That's how I wrote my first name when I was a child. My parents then had it engraved on the necklace pendant.
So hatte ich in meiner Kindheit meinen Rufnahmen geschrieben. Das ließen meine Eltern dann auf dem Halskettenanhänger eingravieren.

sorry for not commenting much lately havent been feeling to good so not spending as much time on flickr as usual having a rest for a few weeks but will still be visting daily for short periods of time to keep up with every bodies uploads x
This is the time of the year when many publish their collection of the "Best 9" images.
While it is great to review the past year, I do not like the idea of counting the number of likes to decide what my best images were.
For me, my best images are those that evoke the best memories. I therefore made my own compilation of my most memorable shootings in 2020.
Join me on a ride through some of my best moments in 2020:
1) The year started with our traditional skiing vacation. A great opportunity to do some deepscapes. My Andromeda Station image was chosen as NASA APOD in March.
2) April brought the first lockdown. Fortunately we were still allowed to go to the mountains and I was able to spend a memorable night with my kids under perfect skies.
3) During a cargo flight to Shanghai to bring much needed medical equipment home, I was able to capture some red sprites out of the window of the deserted passenger cabin.
4) In summer the lockdown ended in Europe and I had two beautiful astrophotograohy trips to France. This image was captured during my first trip, where I was joined by Benjamin Barakat.
5) Summer also offered several great shootings in Switzerland and I was able to capture the perfect reflection at this lake in the Bernese Alps.
6) We had a great time dressing up for several fun shootings. The mastermind behind these shootings was my buddy Alex Forst.
7) Comet Neowise was the big poitive surprise this year. I was able to capture it during several occasions and one of the best was a night with Sales Wick at the famous solitary trees of Central Switzerland.
8) In autumn I was finally able to fly again. Most of our layovers are spent in hotel quarantine. Fortunately the US is more liberal and during a San Francisco flight I had the pleasure to visit the Owens Valley and capture the setting MW over some of the most stunning ancient petroglyphs of the region.
9) As the year drew to an end, the weather turned pretty sour in Switzerland. During one of the few clear nights, I spent a beautiful night with my buddy Benjamin Barakat, capturing the red nebulas of the winter sky.
Thanks to all of you for following my stream during this wild year.
I wish you all a Happy 2021 with lots of joy and good health!

As in the next photograph of the Myrtle Forest, you can clearly see the symbiotic relationship that has developed between the trees of this temperate rainforest and the epiphytes growing on the branches.
Epiphytes are NOT parasitical plants like introduced and invasive species (e.g. Ivy, which is parasitic and will kill trees over time by stealing nutrients and choking the branches). These epiphytes (mosses and ferns) have actually adapted to coexist with their host trees and produce these lush scenes. Walking in a forest like this is really a walk back through time.
One Australian photographer who has made an art of photographing forests and epiphytes is William Yang. Yang was born in Queensland 83 years ago of Chinese descent. Later in his life his growing interest in nature through photography made him convert to his ancestral Taoism.
“When I became Taoist I came to appreciate nature in the form of landscape as a source and a driving force behind everything that existed. It was constantly changing and renewing itself. Everything about nature was beautiful because it was essentially always itself.” The Tree and I William Yang 2010

I'll say more about this in the next couple of days, but it is interesting that this region of Weldborough was populated in the 19th century by a relatively large number of Chinese tin miners.
On a beautiful warm Wednesday evening I cycled over to the Millennium dome as I still like to call it or present title the 02 arena on Greenwich peninsula along the Thames river path from Woolwich.
The largest concert venue in the UK was certainly different & quieter to the last time I was here for obvious reasons!
It has never been my favourite London music venue as I prefer the sound, exciting atmosphere & slope of Brixton academy. The perfect size, funny memories & acoustics of London forum & the beautiful intimacy of Union chapel.
But it holds a special place in my heart as it reminds me of my dear departed mum who visited here with her friends when it opened back in 2000 & I remember her so happy about telling me what a fantastic day she had, showing me photos & momentos she had bought....Joyful memories :0)
Sąjungos (Union) Square lies next to Vilijampolė – the old Jewish quarter of Kaunas that was turned into the Kaunas Ghetto between 1941 and 1944 during the Nazi Germany occupation. Almost 30,000 inhabitants of the Ghetto were murdered in that period, their houses destroyed and burned. In 1979, during the Soviet occupation, a monument to young communists who fought for the installation of the Soviet government was built on this site. In 1991, after Independence, the bronze reliefs of the monument were removed. Since then, only the dilapidated architecture of the former monument remains.
In 2017, Horst Hoheisel and Andreas Knitz added large photographs to this void in an art work called "Recycled Memory". Of which I could find no traces.
Kaunas, Lithuania.

Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
But everything gon' be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, ayy
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
And when my fading memory,
Like the after-midnight trams,
Stops only at the main stations,
I will not forget you.
I will remember
That quiet evening, endless in your eyes,
The stifled sob upon my shoulder,
Like snow that cannot be brushed off.
The separation came
And I departed, far from you.
Nothing unusual,
But some night
Someone's fingers will weave themselves into your hair,
My distant fingers, stretching across the miles.

Crazy Thuesday 7.1.2025 "Childhood memories"
I made this in the age of around 12, 60 years ago, as a christmas present for my parents. It's now in use be me.
This little tree of life coming from the dead stump reminded me of the tree we photographed at Fairy Lake on Vancouver Island. Although this may not be the most photographed tree in the world, it certainly was worthy of my attention. It not only reminded me of the great memories from the island visit but it was a reminder that new beginnings can happen in the most unlikely places sometimes. This was a scene on our recent camping trip last week. Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
