I think I might be revisiting this shot in the future to improve it somewhat, but for a first attempt it worked okay. Helped having a second pair of hands, and 4 lights for a change!

"I might as well be in a garden
I said, ah
A smell in the air is a dripping rose
(You could be the one for me)
Another soul to meet my void then
Of anything bare that's made of gold
A physical kiss is nothing without it
And you close your eyes to see what it's done
The body that lies is built up on looking
Cause all that remains before it's begun"
- Chet Faker, Gold

It's so embarrassing
All of the things I need living inside of me
I can't see it
It's so embarrassing
All of the love I seek living inside of me
I can't see, I'm blind
It might have been a tranquil sunset to enjoy, but mosquitoes began to swarm us from the marsh. . .so we did not linger to enjoy the fading rays of gold. . .
Now, it might be the Severn, or it might be the Avon, Tewkesbury hosts both lovely rivers - no wonder it suffers a lot of flooding! The path we walked along the riverside, was coated in mud - just as though the river had just gone back within bounds, though we were assured there had been no recent incident!

Although there might be thunderstorms and rain all weekend, hopefully, I'll be able to photograph some of my favorite bands, too. at Pitchfork Music Festival this weekend Friday-Sunday. I realized I hadn't actually posted any photos of Mitski from when I photographed her the last time she played Pitchfork and, while catching up with her new album Laurel Hell. as well as some of her recent interviews, I became even more excited to see her again.
If you're going to Pitchfork Music Festival this weekend, feel free to check out the preview I wrote and spent about a million hours or so on. It features a great deal of my photos from past festivals but also my recommendations for the weekend for bands I haven listened to but not seen live.

You might wonder about the title. Well, what you see in the photo is the river Spree taking one of its many bends across Berlin, and this particular area that you can see on the opposite river bank is also called "Spree-Bogen", "Spree bend". This area used to be the home of the Meierei C. Bolle (dairy farm C. Bolle) that was founded in 1879 during one of Berlins particularly strong periods of growth. The two glass towers belong to an U-shaped building ensemble that was the (rented!) seat of our Federal Ministry of the Interior from 1999 - 2015.
This is one of the images that needed time to "develop". I've tried several different processing approaches over the past months, and I was never really happy with any of the results, because I always found the sky too blue, the image too bright, the clouds not nice enough... I once even replaced the sky in Luminar, but didn't like that, either. So back to the original sky, and just the other day, when I gave it another go, I finally stumbled upon the solution. In a first new version I had processed the image in HDR Efex, kind of liked it, but still found the image too bright. Just for fun, and for comparison purposes, I decided to also process the image in Aurora HDR, tried a few of my favourite presets that I use as starting point in Aurora, and... Bingo! In the "Dramatic" preset collection, there's a preset called "Sleepy Drama" which desaturates the blue tones and adds a darker look to any image – and that did it, at least for me. I still tweaked the preset's settings to my liking, and, in Color Efex, added some Brilliance and Warmth. I hope you like the image :)
Happy Sliders Sunday, stay safe and healthy, and take care!
Bolle reiste jüngst zu Pfingsten...
Blick auf das Spree-Bogen-Areal, gelegen an einem von sehr vielen Spreebögen durch Berlin. Auf diesem Areal wurde 1879, während einer besonders starken Wachstumsphase Berlins, die Meierei C. Bolle erbaut, deren Gründer Carl Bolle allerdings nichts mit dem bekannten (und so lustig wie hintergründig makabren) Bolle-Lied zu tun hat, dessen gesamten Text (bitte alle Strophen lesen, es lohnt sich) Ihr hier finden könnt: STRG/CTRL+ de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolle_reiste_jüngst_zu_Pfingsten. Es passt nur gerade so schön zu Pfingsten ;)
Die beiden Glastürme sind Teil des U-förmig gestalteten Spree-Bogen-Gebäudes, das von 1999 bis 2015 das Bundesministerium des Innern beherbergte (zur Miete!). Diese Bild hat sprichwörtlich Zeit zum Entwickeln gebraucht, ich habe über die Monate immer mal wieder diverse Ansätze ausprobiert, aber es hatte bislang nie richtig "Klick" gemacht, immer war mir der Himmel zu blau, das Bild zu hell, die Wolken nicht schön genug... Einmal habe ich sogar in Luminar den Himmel ausgetauscht, was mir aber auch nicht gefallen hat und sowieso nur eine Notlösung sein sollte, weshalb ich schlussendlich doch beim Original-Himmel geblieben bin.
Kürzlich habe ich dann noch einmal einen Anlauf in HDR Efex gestartet, was mir schon recht gut gefiel, mir aber immer noch zu hell war. Nur aus Spaß und auch zum direkten Vergleich habe ich mich dann noch durch meine Lieblings-Presets in Aurora HDR geklickt. Meistens nehme ich in Aurora eines der "Dramatic"- oder "Artistic"-Presets als Ausgangspunkt für die weitere Bearbeitung. Hier war es das "Sleepy Drama", das – endlich – den Knoten löste. Für den "sleepy" Look werden die Blautöne entsättigt und für das "Drama" wird die Tonwertkurve in Richtung Tiefen korrigiert. Ich habe dann noch eigene Anpassungen vorgenommen und abschließend in Color Efex etwas "Brilliance and Warmth" hinzugefügt. Mit dem Ergebnis bin ich recht zufrieden, zufrieden genug jdf., um es Euch zu zeigen. Ich hoffe, das Bild gefällt Euch auch :)
Ich wünsche Euch schöne Pfingsten, passt weiter gut auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund!
#InternationalWomensDay
#March8
Not a ladybird which might have been a slightly more appropriate "supermodel" for International Women's Day because of its name, but an equally pretty Cryptocephalus bipunctatus. The whole supermodel thing is a relic of the past anyway, but unfortunately, we still haven't freed ourselves from questionable beauty "ideals" that often come across as beauty dictates. Social media and "influencers" don't make it any easier, especially not for the younger generation that is exposed (and exposes itself) to what one might call the "daily dose of beauty brainwash", recently taken to the next level with the all-new "beauty filters".
In Berlin (and in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, one of Germany's Northern federal states), March 8 is an official holiday, but not (yet?) in the other 14 of our 16 federal states. So this Wednesday – where all shops, schools, etc. are closed (and the weather is too ghastly to go outside – winter made a snowy-wet, cold reappearance) – feels like a very quiet, lazy Sunday, and I have too much time for writing rants instead of simply letting you enjoy this adorable, brightly orange beetle, a member of the so-called "Fallkäfer" (Cryptocephalinae) subfamily of the leaf beetle family. The name "Fallkäfer" (a beetle that falls or drops) derives from their distinctive habit of dropping abruptly when disturbed. This image also is a true oldie, I've taken it back in June 2017 at the beautiful public park Britzer Garten. The focus is ever so slightly off and more on the plant than on the beetle itself, but I think it's still sharp enough in general.
Wishing all of my female Flickr friends a Happy International Women's Day!
This one might be a bit tricky to describe.
I was standing next to the Polygon Theatre, which is the zigzag structure to the left. I noticed that the Observatory highrise in the distance looked like it was standing on the edge of the building just behind the gallery building. The theatre and Observatory are actually 400 metres apart (1/4 mile).
So this is what I planned for, except for one thing. I had been shooting in camera multiple exposures with three images. The sun was bright and I couldn't see my LCD screen very well. I thought I was turning off my multiple exposures, but instead I changed it from 3 images to 2. So this ended up being an in camera double exposure. But in the end, I was quite happy with it anyway....

Bluejay in my Dogwood Tree
I think he might have been frozen from a hawk scare as he sat like this for what seemed like several minutes not moving a muscle.
We were walking along a footpath near the coast in Spain when this couple in front of us (who we think were German) started waving frantically at us. When we got near we realised that it was a Mediterranean Chameleon that had walked across their path and into some vegetation on the other side. They must have seen me carrying my camera and thought that I might like a photograph. In Europe, these chameleons are ONLY found in Southern Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and Crete, so we were lucky to see it. We gently lifted it onto a stick to get some photos and then quickly returned it to the undergrowth. Best viewed large!
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
might start with their shirt sleeves ;-)

More snow has arrived up North and more is forecast for here, so I might as well post more snow pictures. This one from the beginning of January.
I was about to leave this spot when the lamp came on, so I had to take picture.

Surely, one might think this lonely place,
a frozen wasteland filled with silent echoes.
The myth quietly concluded from illusion of surface.
One simply need only peer inside the texture of ice.
Within crevices and cracks, a strange inner world of life
slowly breathing, beating, swimming and swirling.
For seeds of dissent spring loudly within the frozen shore.
Continuing the "Nature on Ice" series. Having late night fun with more experimentation inspired by the effects of ice, colored light and perhaps my recent efforts into oil painting.
Thanks for the favs and kind compliments. They are much appreciated!
You might say this male American goldfinch is going for the gold as his bright yellow feathers begin to grow in for the approaching breeding season. Right now he's about halfway to the finish line!
A friend of mine from Montana is arriving here in the Driftless region tomorrow to do some fly fishing for trout, and I'll be out on the streams with him and then visiting during the down time so I don't plan to be back on Flickr until early next week. Since 99.99% of fly fishers head to Montana to trout fish on their time off, this Iowa trip is a really sweet switch.
More water than normal - and this was before Christoph arrived. Guess it might be worth another visit tomorrow - with an umbrella unless the rain stops!
nb if this looks a little familiar, I posted a very similar shot in Dec 2018 not long after we moved to Alnwick flic.kr/p/PLFkBK
Later note in response to a couple of comments- no humans were harmed in the taking of this shot! In fact I only had to walk about 2-3 yards from the car!
You might remember my young coyote from a few weeks back. She was very playful, and incorporated a few yoga moves in her games. This is her version of "upward facing dog" I guess, with a little turn to make sure I was watching her performance.
You might not have to look professional to be professional.

You might think that this Tennessee warbler would be heading to Tennessee for the winter after nesting in the boreal forests of southern Canada, but it will actually travel much further south and wind up in Central America or northern South America sometime in November. Although they dine on bugs in Canada's boreal forests, they add fruits and even flower nectar to their diet during the winter.
Repost of an oldie because I love to see Annie's work in my dashboard again... I've missed you tons my darling!
Me and Annie...

Textures by Pareeerica; Lenabem Anna - all in Flickr - Thanks.
Some might find the flavours a bit unusual : toffee with sea salt, raspberry with salt liquorice and then salt liquorice on its own.
Smile on Saturday - ice-cream

My stats are not the same any more. Numbers way off from where they used to be. I wish flickr would tell us when they are going to change stuff.
Happy Slider Sunday
Everyone might have seen a few shots of the Moselschleife in Germany but this night picture was something special :D I had to climb up the dark hill and walk through a forest but it was worth it and a great adventure ;)

might as well snap a photo. Had to take off my gloves and capture the scene I was seeing while I was down. Always thinking "photos" LOL
I was asked by someone yesterday if I really had gone bike riding, so I just thought I'd show you a picture my daughter took of me after one of my falls along the trail through the marshmallow field. I'm not sure how many marshmallows I crushed here but I also took out a small tree.

They might be going where there are no snapping turtles. The one in the lead has already had a good part of its tail bitten off. Another possibility is that it lost its tail to a raccoon or an otter, a family of which I've watched in this wetland.
* This might have been posted in December, but there was not space . The Go-Away bird was a constant sound in our campsite in the Selenkay Conservancy within Amboseli National Park in Kenya.
This species averages 20" in length. Its long, pointed grey and black tail with a white median band is characteristic of the species. It has a white under-wing patch, visible in flight. The adult has a grey head and leading to a dark grey to blackish pointed crest with an approximate length of 6 cm. The belly and under-tail coverts are white, giving the bird the first part of its name "white-bellied".
Typical calls are a nasal haa-haa-haa, like the bleating of a sheep, and a single or repeated gwa (or g'away). This distinctive call is where the bird gets the latter part of its name "go-away". It flies from tree to tree in loose, straggling groups, calling loudly.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
One might wax eloquent on the migratory powers of our Hoverfly! It has been found flying over the Ocean more than 200 km from the coast. But even more interesting is a discovery made in 2015 in Spain by Antonio Robledo, head of research&development of Biobest Sistemas Biológicos. Researching pest control on paprika in greenhouses, he found that Eupeodes corollae is an excellent natural assistant to farmers. Its larvae feed on the aphids that terrorise those pepper plants. And besides the adult Hoverfly is an excellent pollinator for the flowers that will yield the peppery fruits. A dual purpose insect and eco-friendly, too. In 2019 Robledo's discovery began to be implemented on an industrial scale.
In the photo Eupeodes is not 'working' - perhaps on migratory holiday from Spain - but indulging on Oxalis articulata, Pink Sorrel, in the Amsterdam Hortus.
