On a wet day in Berlin, there wasn’t much photography to be had.
There was a lot of getting wet, and attempting to stay huddled under the brolly, but little photography.
However, while walking through the urban park around the Tiergarten area, I saw this lovely scene and decided to get the camera out of the bag to shoot it. I even had to change lenses from the 14mm to something a little better for the scene, so I went from super lazy to actually doing quite a bit to get this image.
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I booked flights to Vienna for the weekend after next so will likely be driving around Slovakia for a few days; I obviously want to see Bratislava but feel most of the time will be spent in the Tatra mountains.

The hills behind the Nan Tien Bhuddist Temple at Berkeley NSW Australia, where I spent a few hours yesterday taking in the serenity of the whole place, a highly recommended place to visit and photograph.
Nan Tien Temple known as “Southern Paradise” is the largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere. The temple focuses on the exchange of eastern and western cultures; the interchange of the traditional and the modern; and also the adaptation with the local communities. Not to mention, the nurturing and educating of devotees and the general public. Over the past ten years, Nan Tien Temple has become one of the favourite venue for religious study groups, school excursions and community group outings. Nan Tien Temple offers regular events, such as meditation retreats, excursions, art and craft classes etc. Nan Tien Temple is not only a place of Buddhists attraction in Sydney but also one of the most well known international tourist attractions. It attracts more than a few hundred thousand visitors from all over the world all year round. In addition, it plays an important role of propagating the Buddha Dharma and promoting the exchange and harmonization of the eastern and western cultures as well as all religions.

Path to Flattop. This was not the trail less traveled - we were able to catch a break in the crowds heading to Flattop to watch the summer solstice in order to get this shot.
ODC - Complicated
Since we let Samuel loose with his own camera I have realised more than ever what a difference perspective makes. I have never noticed just how complicated and interesting this path looks from a couple of feet lower down than I usually see it - as in the picture, the only one who is really noticing the pattern is the little guy who is down close to it.
As the sun heads towards the horizon it casts a low, warm light over Stanage Edge, with dark clouds looming overhead.
Part of the South West Coast Path as it climbs the headlands and contours the coves near Warfleet, South Devon.
I know it's not a particularly exciting photo, but I really wanted to upload something as I haven't in a while!
Today we had our school Sponsored Walk, but because I'm in Sixth Form (last year ahhhhhhhhhhh), we just got to sit by the path and 'guide' them (it really wasn't that hard). So that was good fun. We sat on a picnic blanket, played cards and ate strawberries. So civilized!

Mexican fan palms in the Los Angeles Arboretum :)
Mexican fan palm, Mexican washingtonia (Washingtonia robusta) is a palm tree native to the Baja California peninsula and a small part of Sonora in northwestern Mexico. Despite its limited native distribution, W. robusta one of the most widely cultivated subtropical palms in the world. It is naturalized in the other parts in the USA, Arabian countries, Europe and Africa. It grows to 25 m (82 ft) tall, rarely up to 30 m (98 ft) and it's often grown as an ornamental tree. The fruit is a spherical, blue-black drupe, 6–8 mm (1/4–5/16 in) diameter It is edible, though thin-fleshed.
The Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden is a 127-acre (15,4 ha) public garden and historic site in Arcadia. The land was owned by Arcadia’s founder and first mayor, prominent businessman Elias Jackson “Lucky” Baldwin, from 1875 until his death in 1909. In 1947, the State of California and the County of Los Angeles jointly purchased the land to create an arboretum for public use. The purchase included Baldwin’s former guest house (1885), now known as the Queen Anne Cottage at the Arboretum and the Carriage Barn. These historic structures remain today. In 1956 the arboretum was opened to the public. The arboretum's plants are grouped by geography with gardens for South American, Mediterranean, South African, Australian and Asiatic-North American plants. Other displays include the Aquatic Garden, Demonstration Home Gardens, Garden for All Seasons, Prehistoric and Jungle Garden, Native Oaks, Herb Garden, and the Palm and Bamboo collection. In addition, the arboretum is home to a flock of some 200 peafowl, which are descendants of original birds imported by Baldwin from India.

Ścieżka wśród meksykańskich palm w Los Angeles arboretum :)
Meksykańska palma wachlarzowa (Washingtonia Robusta) to palma pochodząca z półwyspu Baja California i niewielkiej części Sonory w północno-zachodnim Meksyku. Pomimo ograniczonego naturalnego występowania, Washingtonia Robusta jest jedną z najczęściej uprawianych palm subtropikalnych na świecie. Jest naturalizowana w innych częściach USA, krajach arabskich, Europie i Afryce. Dorasta do 25 m wysokości, rzadziej do 30 m i często jest uprawiana jako drzewo ozdobne. Owocem jest kulisty, niebiesko-czarny pestkowiec o średnicy 6–8 mm. Jest jadalny, choć ma cienki miąższ.
Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden to publiczny park o powierzchni 127 akrów (51.4 ha) i historyczne miejsce w mieście Arkadia w Kalifornii. Ziemia ta była własnością założyciela Arkadii i pierwszego burmistrza, wybitnego biznesmena Eliasa Jacksona Baldwina, od 1875 roku aż do jego śmierci w 1909 roku. W 1947 roku stan Kalifornia i hrabstwo Los Angeles wspólnie wykupiły ziemię, aby stworzyć arboretum dla użytku publicznego. Zakup obejmował dawny pensjonat Baldwina (1885), obecnie znany jako Queen Anne Cottage i powozownię. Budowle te zachowały się do dziś. W 1956 r. arboretum zostało otwarte dla zwiedzających. Rośliny arboretum są pogrupowane według stref geograficznych z osobnymi sektorami dla roślin południowoamerykańskich, śródziemnomorskich, południowoafrykańskich, australijskich i azjatycko-północnoamerykańskich. Inne ekspozycje obejmują m.in.: ogród wodny, demonstracyjne ogrody przydomowe, ogród na wszystkie pory roku, las pierwotny i dżunglę, zagajnik dębowy, ogród ziołowy oraz kolekcję palm i bambusów. Ponadto arboretum jest domem dla stada około 200 pawi, które są potomkami oryginalnych ptaków importowanych przez Baldwina z Indii.
As I descended from the upper Delicate Arch view point I came across this glowing fence line. There was still a lot of hikers making there way up and down the path to either see the Delicate Arch or return to the parking lot so I had to wait until I had a clear shot. Although at first I would have rather not had anyone in my shot but after processing this I think it adds to the image to have the couple walking together, following the golden path.
Testing my (more or less) new Vintage lens. It's not the sharpest of lenses but I like the feel of the pictures it takes somehow! Super happy with the purchase :)
