Ich liebe diesen Platz. Jeden Tag kann man hier einen anderen spektakulären Sonnenaufgang genießen. Hier konnte ich all die ideen und Sachen die ich schon immer mal machen wollte umsetzen. Ihr könnt euch schon auf weitere tolle Bilder aus Tossa de Mar freuen :) Euch verrate ich auch wo ich es aufgenommen habe ;D Ich wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende. Morgen gehts in die Provence.
Every morning the same fascinating spectacle on the Italian Riviera: the sun rises blood-red on the horizon, behind which lies the Italian boot. I could take pictures like this every day, but they all resemble each other, with the only difference that now the sun is moving more and more to the right.
Our location is very close to the southern tip of the island, i.e. very close to the eastern side. So when the sun sets and is low, it's like being behind a corner: half of it makes a bright diffraction pattern, the other half is shrouded in shadow. Here you can see it clearly. We are looking east, so we have the setting sun behind us. One part of the eastern sky is still illuminated by the sun, the other is in the shadow of the island.
Yesterday there was a beautiful full moon also on the Italian Riviera. Unfortunately, the moon rose just behind Capo Berta. I climbed a pillar to catch the moon as early as possible. But some forest remained in the foreground.
Matera in Puglia was considered an eyesore in Italy. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Behind the façades are caves carved into the tufa stone that served as homes until the middle of the last century. In 2019, some scenes of the James Bond film "No time to die" were filmed in Matera.
Technology and Nature. While the house was being built here in Sri Lanka at the end of 2018, I spent a few days in Vietnam. The Cầu Trần Thị Lý Bridge in Da Nang is a suspension bridge with impressive suspension devices. The suspension consists of red tubes about 30 cm in diameter. Next to the bridge is a large Ferris wheel. I think it is a permanent fixture. It resulted in a nice combination of poles, pipes and various fixtures.
Wandelgidszuidlimburg.com --> 760. EPEN 10,3 KM - 7 KM
During this very panoramic and hilly walk you walk through meadows up to the hamlet of Kosberg. Then you walk through the forest to the hamlet of Landsrade. Then you walk through meadows towards Gulpen and then you arrive in the hamlet of Dal Bissen. The way back goes through meadows to the hamlet of Schweiberg and a nice path takes you back to Epen. This route often runs through meadows with beautiful views of the hills of South Limburg. There are plenty of benches along the way. At the end is a beautiful terrace. You can shorten the route to 7 km.
Tijdens deze zeer panoramische en heuvelachtige wandeling wandelt u door weilanden omhoog naar de buurtschap Kosberg. Dan loopt u verder door het bos naar het gehucht Landsrade. Vervolgens loopt u door weilanden richting Gulpen en dan komt u in de buurtschap Dal Bissen. De terugweg gaat door weilanden naar de buurtschap Schweiberg en via mooi pad komt u weer in Epen. Deze route loopt veel door weilanden met prachtige uitzichten op de heuvels van Zuid-Limburg. Er staan genoeg zitbanken onderweg. Aan het eind is een mooi terras. U kunt de route inkorten tot 7 km.
Although such naturalistic pictures are less well received, I dare to publish one again. Yesterday I went hiking in Toggenburg, Switzerland. The landscape there is overwhelming. I took this shot from an adventurous suspension train with my smartphone in the early hours of the morning
The hotel on the Italian riviera has such teasing marquises that light up in the sun and cast beautiful shadows. In order to still recognise something in the drop shadows, I lightened the picture a little with HDR.
At the moment I am practising ICM. I caught this bougainvillea between Imperia and Diano, Liguria, Italy.
When I sit in my favourite bar in Diano Marina on the Italian Riviera and look up, I see a piece of sky between the roofs.
Unawatuna is a tourist hotspot in the south of Sri Lanka. The beach is full of sun-hungry people and in between, the ground is covered with cigarette butts and beer bottle caps. While so-called glass-bottom boats cruise noisily on the water, the back part of the beach is lined with restaurants offering cheap junk food. The fronts of the restaurants are on the coastal road, where countless tourists stroll, curious to see what else this holiday has to offer. Honking tuktuks squeeze through the crowds, transporting those tourists who are a little more distant.
The picture shows the sunset from a beach bar on the edge of the hustle and bustle. In the foreground you can see four so-called stilts, on which the stilt fishermen used to squat and wait patiently for a big fish to bite. Today, the stilt fishermen only sit on the stilts for money. This is more lucrative than fishing themselves.
When I was in Zurich for a few days at the beginning of July, I photographed this modern office building in the Seefeld. After equalising the perspective, I coloured the seagull flying by red. After all, the building is on Färberstrasse. Nomen est omen.
Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. It is located approximately 3 miles (5 km) south-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire, near to the village of Aldfield. Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for 407 years, becoming one of the wealthiest monasteries in England until its dissolution, by order of Henry VIII, in 1539.
Loch Katrine, Trossachs, Scotland.
This freshwater loch is the water source for the city of Glasgow. A tourism hotspot in the Victorian period, it still retains its charm today. An enclosed 13 mile cycle path around the loch shores is particularly popular, with a boat trip return for those with weary legs. The old Victorian Pier is still in use and the waiting rooms are now a smart cafe. Highly recommended!
Of course, the beach, surf and cliffs would be good conditions for long exposure shots, but I rarely do it. The filter is so dark that no preview is possible with a DSLR. This is a shot taken during one of my few long exposure attempts in Sri Lanka.
While waiting for the bus in Imperia, I noticed this suspension of the canopy of a pedestrian passage. It gave a nice exercise in freeing the wire ropes and a minimalist motif.
This is a low angle view of a glass architecture near the main station of Zurich, Switzerland. Wires cross the lines of the building in which the clouds are reflected.
We always go here early in the morning for half an hour of distance swimming. Recently we were here in the evening during sunset. Such moods are always overwhelming. But there is little personal in such a picture. Sorry!
Presumably a high-bay warehouse near Genoa photographed from the train. The ceiling illumination inside the carriage reflects in the window pane and overlaps with the image of the building.
A picture portrait of a perfect profusion of pastel petals…
...or (more prosaically) another one of a dahlia .
This was taken at Ford Abbey in Somerset a few weeks ago where the dahlias lit up their autumn gardens. Interestingly (if you are into gardening) they don’t lift their dahlias but let them overwinter in the ground without much trouble, which sounds like a much more viable approach. We might try that because they are such a diverse and beautiful group of flowering plants.
This is for the Looking close… on Friday group’s theme today of Texture in Flora. I rather like the contrast between the silky petals and the rasp-like bunch of florets in the centre, but I have to admit it’s the colour gradient that really appeals.
I hope you have a good weekend, my friend.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Looking Close on… Friday, and Friday Flora :)
A minimalist composition from Imperia, a small town in Liguria. Again I want to contrast nature and technology.
While the last few publications testified to modern glass and concrete architecture in Italy, this picture shows a façade that corresponds to the architecture of past centuries. It is the birthplace of Andrea Doria, the actual ruler of the Republic of Genoa, born in 1466. I don't think the house still looks like it did over 550 years ago. But it should have a few 200-300 years under its belt.
Was macht man wenn man einen so schönen Sonnenuntergang sieht und man hat nur ein 70-200 mit? Man hat hoffentlich sein Stativ mit und macht ein Panorama!
What do you do when you see such a beautiful sunset and you only have a 70-200 with you? Hopefully you have your tripod with you and take a panorama!
In Messina, Sicily, stands this overhead line mast that carried the power lines over the Strait of Messina between 1955 and 1994. The tower is a 230-metre-high structure visible from afar. Here as an abstract photograph rotated by 90 degrees.
In our house on the Italian Riviera we have a covered outdoor kitchen with three fruit baskets hanging on a chain. In the evening, when the sun is low, it brightly illuminates these fruit baskets and a section of the brick wall behind them.
Bluebell woods at Bowood Woodland Gardens this week.
For the Smile on Saturday theme in support of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy teh blue. Happy Smile on Saturday :)
