The new headquarters of the European Central Bank, moving began this weekend. Let´s hope, they will make a good job.
The bright look of the building is caused by the reflections of clouds all around.
This is one of the first shots with my new little Fuji, edited with Nik´s Silver Efex Pro.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Marshall Beach, San Francisco
On this day I had the great opportunity to photograph alongside Nathan Wirth. Nathan informed me that he was born and raised in San Francisco and that Marshall Beach was his boyhood playground. It was more than a pleasure to not only meet, photograph and learn from Nathan, but also see him enjoy his old playground. Thank you, my friend.

A one acre garden created by the Spencer family between 1951 and 1994, now owned and cared for by the charity Perennial. The garden is divided into rooms by yew and beech hedges.
York Gate is widely recognized as an outstanding example of 20th century garden design. The one acre garden is divided into a series of smaller gardens with different themes and in contrasting styles. These include the Dell with half-hidden pathways and a stream, the famous herb garden with topiary and summerhouse, and a newer more contemporary garden with grasses and summer-flowering perennials. Other highlights include the White Garden with roses, peonies and campanulas and a Kitchen Garden. York Gate is also noted for its striking architectural features and a succession of exquisite vistas.
The garden was created by the Spencer family between 1951 and 1994. Frederick Spencer laid down the basic structure of the garden but it was his son, Robin, who was largely responsible for its development and for the exquisite detail to be found within it. Undoubtedly inspired by some of the outstanding gardens of the time, such as Lawrence Johnston's Hidcote, Robin created in just one acre, a garden which by the early eighties, was regarded by many as one of the most innovative small gardens in the world. His extraordinary vision, remarkable sense of perspective, inspirational use of materials and meticulous attention to detail were key to its success.
Robin died suddenly and prematurely at the age of only 47. For the next twelve years his mother, Sybil, cherished the garden. She added to the already considerable plant collection but the overall layout remained largely unchanged.
On Sybil Spencer's death in 1994 the garden passed into the care of the charity Perennial - Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society.
I apologize for putting the same photo up twice, but after I ran this image through NIK Color Efex Pro's "Low Key" filter, I really like the new result better. The look is "later in the evening" and the rainbow has a lot more punch in this version.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Morning Mist II
I made this image in 1999 with a Canon Ftb a 35mm film camera using Fuji Velvia 50 Color Transparency film. In 2004 or so I scanned the slide using my Nikon 9000 film scanner and converted it to B&W.
The ZimSculpt sculpture exhibit is now gone from the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. It would be difficult to choose one favorite. But the "Elegant Lady" is one of mine. She was sculpted by Tutani Mugubazi from springstone. It had rained the night before and the rain drops looked like tears flowing from her closed eyes.
Thanks everyone for your views, faves and comments.
One of the last hyacinth "blooms" we had this year. The day after I took this photo, we had much colder weather and all the blooms drooped and then fell off.
This is a macro photo taken with my Sony 50mm lens. It is somewhere between 1:2 and 1:1.4 ratio.
Recently I have been reading a lot about the hyperfocal distance calculator and I have been itching to give it go to see if I could improve the sharpness in my shots pre-processing.
Whilst driving I spotted this church and thought it would be a good guinea pig as so to speak!
This is a 2 shot image of St Laurence Church in Longney, which is a small village not too far from where i live in Gloucestershire UK.
Thanks for looking and feel free to leave any comments good or bad.
