A day out to Wightwick Manor - (National Trust) - in Wolverhampton.
Please excuse the terrible quality of the interior images ... the Manor House is very dark inside and I had to push my ISO up to 6400 resulting in very noisy images ! :-(
When Theodore Mander commissioned the building of a new manor on Wightwick Bank in the Old English style in 1887 he started the Mander family's love for Victorian art & design which would unfold over a century of collecting and preservation.
My thanks as always to Jeff D. for the lift and opportunity to get some images today.

Took a trip up to Blaenafon on Wed 16.May.2018 and here's the results of a great day out.
Thanks to Terry Donnelly for the lift and a cracking day out !
The windmill sits on the 180m high Windmill Hill and lies between two parishes, Tysoe and Compton Wynyates. Built in the early 18th century. The structure is a 12 sided, barrel shaped stone tower with batter. The conical cap is covered in aluminium with finial and tail projection for winding gear, two stones, and the windmill still contains all its machinery.
My friends own several acres of vineyards in Sonoma County. It's been awhile since we visited, so we escaped the Bakersfield heat in exchange for 65 degrees and an ocean breeze. Oh yeah, and sampling some wine ;-)

Photographic manipulated digital painted image representing a starry night. The original image was captured by me on a bright sunny day with blue skies white clouds and green grass. I rendered the image in PS, Topaz and nik software. I removed the original sky and replaced it with adobe texture and added the stars by using the add noise filter and the white brush tool. The birds were also added using adobe brush tools.
An old print revisited captured with the Canon 5D and and edited with Nik software. Back then young boys were camel jockeys, now replaced by robots.
Took this picture on Central station of Cologne after visiting the Photokina 2016.
Added some effects with NikSoftware

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Lost
Photographing the Pismo Dunes Natural Preserve, Oceano, San Luis Obispo County, California.. It was a great day with beautiful weather and a few clouds.
Another old barn from the Palouse area.
We are getting snow storm warning advisories as the High School spring sports starts this week. Most everyone around Eastern Washington has had enough snow.
Just going through my old pictures again, and came across a bracketed shot of Flamborough Lighthouse.
I've just bout myself the Nik Collection and thought I'd run this through HDR Efex Pro, I have to say, I am well and truly impressed.
My family and I have recently had a brief vacation at the seaside, in Rosolina Mare (Rosolina on the sea), a peculiar location in a world dominated by water, as you can see by following the link in Google Maps. There is a stretch of land surrounded by many different waters: the Adriatic Sea (E), the Lagoon of Caleri (W), the delta of the river Adige (N), and that of the river Po (S). In the middle of this watery network there lays a strip of land, roughly divided into two: on the western side (the lagoon side) there is a beautiful Mediterranean pine grove, and on the eastern side a long, wide, partly wild beach of fine amber-coloured sand.
The northern Adriatic Sea is pretty shallow, so even moderate low tides are able to uncover large sand banks; this is the context of the series of photographs I will upload in the next weeks, beginning with this one.
The very faintest early lights were already in the sky when I started my session, at 4.15 am; sunrise would have been at about 5.25, and there were many kilometers of wild beach before me... :-)
In retrospect, I am under the impression that this sunrise developed at a slow pace - maybe this was because it was absolutely windless: the sea was as peaceful as it can be, and the clouds in the sky moved very leisurely.
As I was trying to capture that peaceful, still moment, more than once I found myself wondering whether the wavy patterns retained by the uncovered sand and the complex cloudscape could somehow be meaningful - whether they encrypted some kind of message I could not even begin to understand. I do not know for sure if it that was the case, of course, but I think that somehow such sheer beauty and harmony must be endowed with a meaning - if only in the dephts of our souls... So I share this sunrise shot as a gift for my Flickr friends and occasional visitors, hoping that they will feel at least some faint whispers of this message of beauty and harmony resonating within themselves :-)
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
