Bruges is a city that will capture your heart. It is a city of human proportions, but one that can never be truly fathomed. Its history has made it great, a fact that garnered it the title of a Unesco World Heritage City. Retaining the mysteries of the Middle Ages and unashamedly exuberant, Bruges has been an international metropolis for centuries.
The other photographers are my wife and Edith Hoffman.
It's getting dark earlier and earlier even as daylight savings time comes to en end......

Last night
Can't remember
What happened?
Where'd we go?
I woke up
This morning..
Where's my car? Where's my keys? Where's my clothes?
I feel my head's still spinning
But I'm doing alright
'Cuz I think I just had the best night of my life.
Last night,
Can't remember
What happened? Did it happen? Last night
And did I get the chance to say that I wanted you to stay?
There's things I can't explain, 'cuz my brain don't work that way.
Don't call this a one night stand. No, it wasn't planned.
Wasn't in my head but I just wanna do it again and again and again just like...
KP Treat This 279: 1 Nov→15 Nov. 2021 thanks to skagitrenee for these fabulous source images flic.kr/p/2mEsZFR and flic.kr/p/2mEsXy4 shown in the first comment box.
A natural spectacle awaited us when passing the Hungarian Parliament Building.
Hundreds of seagulls flying in the spotlight around the dome of the building.
That was a great presentation!
Of course, it is understood that you photograph a symmetrically constructed building in a single moment, when passing with the ship!
Ein Naturschauspiel erwartete uns beim Passieren des Ungarischen Parlamentsgebäudes.
Hunderte von Möwen flogen im Scheinwerferlicht um die Kuppel des Gebäudes.
Das war ein tolles Spektakel!
Natürlich versteht es sich am Rande, dass man ein symmetrisch aufgebautes Gebäude beim Passieren mit dem Schiff nur in einem einzigen Moment fotografieren kann!
Yes, yes, I know, this is that place all the 17 year old girls take ridiculous selfies. Yes, it is. And at the risk of sounding like a very broken record, I am always trying to take a classic image but adding a twist. After all, these kinds of images are classic for a reason. Right? I don't want to turn my back on them just because they are popular. In fact, if this scene were a person, it would be sad from all the selfies and would crave someone to treat it with respect, and portray the scene with justice and dignity. Thats what we did here. Serious image, for a serious place. We made the scene smile, thank you very much.
So the twist? Well, its a night shot. Not many of those. Want to know a fun fact that the tourist books don't tell you? When you go at night you still have crowds, but not crowds of people. Tiny quadrupeds. You get rats. While we were shooting this scene, the rats were everywhere. We finally stopped counting them. At one point they almost carried us away. You may be able to see in the scene as blurry dark spots as they ran through a slow shutter frame. My son was with me, he is the tripod monkey. He was freaking out. He would not sit still, he kept trying to chase the rats away. This added to the moment for sure, because we were trying to be very respectful of the folks who live here, so we were tip-toe quiet. Except Wilson. He is trying to tell the rats off. This kept waking a dog nearby, who would start barking at Wilson. Sigh. So my buddy Tom and I are trying to get the shot, while keeping the rats off us, and keeping the dog and Wilson quiet, all the while also trying to keep an eye on the car which was very questionably parked. It would be a long walk back to the air-bnb from here for sure.
Ok, that's the story. Let me know what you think of the image. Oh, BTW, I don't think I mentioned it, but this Acorn Street.

and because I like this song, total game music ;)

Castillo de Medinaceli (Soria, Spain). It could be any castle perched on the night waiting for some unlikely enemy. I've always loved its imposing simplicity. Allegedlyأبو عامر محمد بن أبي عامر ابن عبد الله المعافري (Abu ʿAmir Muhammad ben Abi ʿAmir al-Maʿafirí or "Almanzor" in Spanish) died here. Once Almanzar was over, the Cordoba's Califate went down pretty fast and the Northern kingdoms (mostly Christians, with Muslim affiliates) advanced South quickly.

Northern lights. Nature's night light. This was taken at Summit Lake in Hatchers pass. The street lights to the right of the picture are from Independece mine.
Ok, so I was out by the edge of the woods taking some night shots when I heard this strange rustling buzzing sound.
What could that be ?.. So I put my Nikon onto the tripod and set it for 30 seconds.... . . . . . . . POW! all of these lights come streaming from within the deep woods and across my shot !!
Super bright and moving at lighting speed. Gone in a second.
Three of them came straight at me and the camera then turned.
They lit up the trees they had been in and came straight at me!!!!
....................
It would appear that I had disturbed some creatures which had been resting in the trees. I have no explanation ?????
OK - OK == I had set up a 30 second exposure shot of this forest and then for some strange reason in the middle of the 30 seconds turned the camera around 180* to set up for my next shot of a parking lot behind me. Voilà - when I downloaded my roll the aliens came in through my window and used lasers to warm up my tea.
