Italien, Rund um Molveno/Trento-(Dolomiten) Brenta-Gebirge.

Abend am Molveno-See.

 

ITALIEN; Rund um den Molveno See (TN,

 

Der Luftkur- und Wintersportort liegt etwa 14 km nordnordwestlich von Trient auf einer Höhe von 864 m s.l.m. östlich der Brenta-Gruppe am Ufer des Lago di Molveno und zu Füßen des östlich gelegenen Massivs der Paganella.

 

Der etwa 4 km langen Molvenossee, der bis zu 120 m tief ist, wird durch einen kleinen Bach und mehrere kleine Zuflüsse aus den Bergen gespeist.

   

Molveno is a comune (municipality) in Trentino in the northern Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of Trento. It is famous for its positioning on Lake Molveno as a holiday destination, its nearby ski resorts (Andalo-Paganella and its connection to the National Park Adamello Brenta.

 

Molveno is located at the northern end of a 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) long lake (Lago di Molveno), at the foot of the Brenta Group and the Paganella mountain.

  

The Lake of Molveno, formed by a landslide about 4000 years ago, is the second largest in Trentino-Alto Adige, 3.3 square kilometres (1.3 sq mi). It has a maximum depth of 123 metres (404 ft). It's famous for its diverse fish species, including trout, arctic char and perch.

If you sit still and wait for them to move by your position, these House Sparrow-sized peeps will often pass by very close. They forage in very shallow water or on the shore itself.

This is my favourite one, I did a few years ago, when I first bought the Brass Kaleidoscope, the one that you use to look through and make your own patterns and creations.

 

And my creation I did here, consists of a Dandelion and an Easter Egg Box, with a picture of a football on it. Then combining these two together, created what you see above!

 

The possibilities are truly endless, in what you can create through a Kaleidoscope in the way you position it and line it up to your Lens. In which I found my Micro NIKKOR 40mm f2.8G Lens, did the job perfectly!

 

So keep cool and stay safe, my flickr friends !!!

Dordrecht is a really old city that grew wealthy on its position at a river confluence with important commercial, military and private boat building. It held significant regional and international importance, hosting the 'Synod of Dordrecht' and other important religious meetings.

Thankfully, it escaped much of the widespread destruction of the second world war. Consequently, it is brimming with interesting old architecture and displays an old-time sense of wealth that belies the peaceful and laid back character of its modern-day economic relaxation. The locals are educated and generally proud of their city, which is the sort of place to wander around and explore leisurely, rather than rushing in and out.

 

The Groothoofdspoort on this photo is a former city gate in Dordrecht that is located at the point where three rivers meet; the Merwede, the Oude Maas, and the Noord.

 

The building was designed in the 14th century and was originally built with gothic details. The facades were built in 1618 and the tower was added in 1692. The relief above the doorway facing the river was designed by Gillis Huppe in 1618 and shows the Dordrecht maiden sitting in the "Garden of Holland", holding a palm branch in her left hand and the city shield in her right hand, based on an earlier design by the Dordrecht painter Gerrit Gerritsz Cuyp. She is surrounded by 16 city shields of cities who rebelled during the eighty years war. From top right, these city shields are the cities of Monnickendam (monk), Enkhuizen (3 fish), Asperen, Heusden, Schiedam, Vlaardingen, Geertruidenberg, Schoonhoven, Hoorn, Weesp, Leerdam, Naarden, Muiden, Medemblik, and Grootebroek. Under the shields, a Latin inscription states "Unity and peace are the best defence for a city; May my God Jehovah protect me". On the other side of the tower is a relief with the shield of Dordrecht held by two griffins.

The roof was replaced by a tower in 1692 and contains a bell by H.Meurs.

The current occupant "Bellevue Groothoofd hotel culinair", a hotel restaurant in the "Groothoofd" block of buildings including the gate, and where Dordrecht residents can arrange to be wed in the old gate building, claims that the "Hotel Belle Vue" building next to the gate was first mentioned in city documents in 1817

 

Hello Flickr friends ☺

 

Captured this scene a few years ago during a May sunrise (at 04:57).

Another one of those slightly cold (-1°Celsius) mornings where nature blessed us with calm winds and a powerful sun glow over mirror-like waters :-)

 

Found this tree branch (& reflection) positioned like a diamond (or an eye) and had to hurry and take some creative shots before any large ships passed the area (as their waves would most likely reposition the branch or knock it over... which is exactly what happened a little while later!)

 

(( update: Many people commenting on this photo say they see two arms with intertwined hands / fingers, crossed in the sun glow... and now I see that too! ))

 

The warm sun glow caused a pretty mist to rise upon the water, which made the scene even more lovely for me :-)

I captured this with my older Sony HX90V and cropped the photo quite a bit to remove land from the left side and also to reposition the 'Diamond Eye' from the center area.

 

Hope this golden glow brings a smile your way today :-)

 

Please remember (especially during this new year), even when we face dark days, the sun will always rise again... and shine on! ☀️

 

Thank you dear friends for all your kindness & support... you are greatly appreciated :-)

Wishing you all a wonderful 2021!

I may not have to venture far for colors in the near future... like to Lowes or Home Depot, hahaha..... as I'm starting to see signs of Spring in my own back yard. These are crocuses that have come up in my flowerbed. They're really yellow, but I had fun "tweaking" them and this was the final result. Hope you like it.

Tuscany Landscape Photography Workshops & Tours www.melvinnicholsonphotography.co.uk/photography-workshops

 

Sunrise, Vitaleta Chapel, San Quirico d'Orcia, Tuscany

 

I returned home from running my Tuscany workshop last night and it was a great week with some great folk. It was so good to be back in one of the most beautiful parts of Europe, let alone Italy.

 

So here's an image of one of my favourite locations, the stunning Vitaleta Chapel which is a short walk from the roadside parking. I told my clients to be ready to leave the hotel at 5.30am for the short drive to the chapel and we were on location by 6am, a whole hour before sunrise and while that might sound pretty early considering that it was still dark when we arrived, it turned out to be an inspired decision as we bagged the best spots before anyone turned up.

 

Knowing that the sun rises to left of the chapel, I positioned my camera to capture the sunburst as it rose behind one of the Cyprus trees. I ramped up the aperture to f/16 to have the sunburst look more prominent.

I shot this last November in Destin, FL as the sun set over the ocean. I stumbled across it in my archives as I was searching for something to post.

I positioned this bright white Clematis to cheer up a dark corner in the garden. It has turned out to be quite stunning !

Happy Caturday~ Looking on the Bright Side

 

When a cat is playing or frightened, they try to make themself look as big as possible. A stiff-legged hopping gait often accompanies this puffing out of their fur.

Jerri often assumes this pose when playing with Oscar, much to our amusement and delight!

For the ones who have been following for a long time, you know how much I like experiencing with blur effect in a natural way, meaning not in photoshop but only by the way I positioned myself. Yesterday I had the chance to photograph this gorgeous Morning Dove at a very close range. It took me at least 45 minutes to get to that range just a bit at a time. She or he was sitting on a log covered by snow and at times, looking for food through the snow. Going through all my images helped me analyzed how I can do it better and found a few things I had not noticed in the past. So in the future, I will position myself that way for a lighter background which gives you the impression of a fog all around the subject. If I had not tried different things, I would have never found this.

 

The Castle of Levizzano is located in a dominant position on the wonderful hills of the homonymous village in the municipality of Castelvetro. Its structure consists of a city wall in the centre of which there is the so-called Torre Matildica - Matildic Tower.

 

Starting from the 12th century, the fortified complex was restored and enlarged. In particular, next to the tower that was placed to protect the entrance to the Castle, a part of the feudal palace was erected and an underground tunnel was built, which still joins the Palace to the Tower.

 

Around the 16th century the buildings underwent important transformations: dating back to this period is the so-called "Stanza dei Vescovi" or Bishops’ Room, which has a ceiling with ancient wooden structures and a cycle of Renaissance frescoes. On the main floor, you can enter the charming loggia overlooking the hills dotted with vineyards from the main hall. Campo San Rocco and the ancient former Napoleonic cemetery stand in the immediate vicinity of the Castle.

These Sandhill Cranes are coming into a field nearby so we see more wing positions. Normally they fly 300-400 miles per day and follow the wind currents at an altitude of 3-5000 ft above ground. Using the tailwinds there is not as much need to constantly flap but do so when coming down or climbing up – they are like other fowl using the wings to control the flight.

On the snow covered morning of March 28, 2015, Eastbound manifest 188 ducks under the N&W CPL’s at Falls Mills, Va with a CEFX SD9043MAC in the lead.

The following day I saw some movement not far from my position on the beach: there were 4 beautiful models filming a commercial for a local TV, I approached and kindly asked to take a photo (unfortunately taken against the sun so it does not show the beautiful faces of the models). Then I talked with them and invited all at dinner. Only Juliana accepted and here you see her beautiful face (photo on the right taken in the restaurant) We had no after-dinner and I never saw her again because the day after I had my flight to Rio and the year after, when I was back in Recife, they told me Juliana had been promoted and was working in São Paulo

 

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

 

Il giorno dopo vedo del movimento a poca distanza dalla mia sdraio, erano 4 bellissime modelle che giravano uno spot pubblicitario per una TV locale, mi avvicinai e chiesi gentilmente di scattare una foto (purtroppo scattata contro sole non mostra i bellissimi visi delle modelle). Poi chiacchierai con loro e invitai tutte a cena. Solo Juliana accettò l'invito ed ecco il suo viso bellissimo nella foto a destra scattataci dal cameriere del ristorante. Non malignate, purtroppo non ci fu dopocena e non la vidi più perchè il giorno dopo avevo il volo per Rio e l'anno successivo, a Recife, mi dissero che era stata promossa e lavorava a San Paulo

I noticed the position of her arms were the same as the model, its like the models future self in 50 yrs : )

Have a great weekend everyone!

The start is Sunday evening

Hamningberg is the most northeasternmost village of the Varangerfjord and also the end of the road, which starts at the base of the fjord in Varangerbotn. In former times it was a fishing village, but nowadays Hamningberg has no permanent residents. The village itself is very nice, but the scenic moonscape road to Hamningberg itself is a main attraction in Varanger for many visitors. On a good day in May you can expect to see White-billed Divers, Pomarine Skuas, Long-tailed Skuas, Northern Fulmars and Northern Gannets. During summer, the area holds breeding Red-throated Pipit, Snow Buntings, etc. The overgrown bushes in the abandoned gardens attract breeding Fieldfare and Redwing. Hamningberg can feel like the end of the world, and its position means many disoriented birds can end up here. Hamningberg has a great rarity record list. While driving from Vardø to Hamningberg, you are pass two villages: Persfjord and Sandfjord. (www.varanger.net)

 

Hamningberg, Norway. May 2019.

Now that we are in standard time, I needed to get up an hour earlier than last week to catch the sunrrise. On this chily morning (low 50F), there was not a single cloud or a shroud of fog to make the morning photo interesting. Had to resort back to this dead tree which was photographed back in March. You can see the sun rose over the same position, but the skies are quite different.

When the young Brown took off it flew away from my position so I only managed the one in flight shot.

And now I am off to mow the lawns, we have a forecast of a lot of rain over the next few days so they need to be mowed today.

A landscape from Woodlands Historic Park, playing around with two newly acquired toys, a circular polariser and soft ND 2-stop graduated filter for my Lee filter system. The grad helped me keep the bright sky down a bit as I was pointing up from a low position. The circular polariser made the sky almost "too blue" and I decided the black and white looked a lot better. Hope you like, and I welcome opinions.

   

Rathaus underground station in Cologne, Germany

  

A pleasing contrast of midnight blue and silvery gleam

  

When completed, the new north–south suburban railway line in Cologne will have eight stops. While the last stretch of the line is scheduled to come into operation in 2016, Rathaus station has already proven itself fit for everyday operation. Located directly beneath the historic market, Rathaus underground station provides quick and convenient access to the centre of Cologne's historic Altstadt (old town) district, which was previously only accessible by bus.

  

The station, covering almost 3,000 m², lies 16 metres below ground. Its design is characterised by a fresh contrast of midnight blue and silver. A large proportion of the wall area is velvety-smooth blue, while the ceilings and certain sections of the walls are a shiny silver. The walls and ceilings are clad in hot-dip galvanised and powdercoated steel sheet modules, which are perforated in the ceiling area so that they also absorb sound.

  

Above the entrances, main traffic areas and footpaths throughout the station, WE-EF DOC240 recessed exterior downlights ensure excellent visibility and safety as well as aid orientation. The luminaires had to be integrated into various building situations – either installed in circular sections of the expanded metal ceilings or combined with an installation tube and mounted directly on the concrete ceilings. The DOC240 downlights in the underground station have proven to be versatile, not just in terms of the installation and mounting options, but also in relation to lighting techniques.

  

While the stairways and escalators are illuminated from a relatively high position, the height between floors in the main traffic areas is rather low. With different light sources in varying wattages – in this case HIT and CFL lamps, and two symmetric light distributions [M] medium and [EE] very narrow beam – the WE-EF luminaires provide exactly the right amount of light for the unique spaces.

  

All DOC240 downlights used in this project are fitted with vibration protection in order to extend their service life. Luminaires mounted at especially high installation positions are equipped with a device to lower the luminaire to facilitate ease of maintenance.

Noche de ronda

Que triste pasas

Que triste cruzas

Por mi balcon

Noche de ronda

Como me hieres

Como lastimas

Mi corazón

Luna que se quiebra

Sobre la tiniebla

De mi soledad

A donde vas?

Dime se esta noche

Tu te vas de ronda

Como ella se fue

Con quien estas?

Dile que la quiero

Dile que me muero

De tanto esperar

Que vuelva ya

Que las rondas no son buenas

Que hacen dano, que dan penas

Y que acaban por llorar
