Visiting Cartagena around 10 yrs ago on a work trip - went out early to take some pics and realized I wouldn't make it back in time for breakfast so grabbed something from this food cart - a delicious Empanadas and a Pan de Bono - the latter is a biscuit made from yucca flour and filled with cheese. YUM! The owner of the cart positioned it based on my request to make a better picture.
The combination of walls, cliffs and sea allowed Dubrovnik, Croatia (Hrvatske) to repel all invaders for centuries. It's strategic location on the Adriatic Sea and it's secure position allowed the city to become wealthy. They never had an army or a navy, instead they used diplomacy and money to maintain their independence from more powerful rivals such as Venice and the Ottomans.
For Macro Mondays - Broken
I was in the garden looking for insects this morning, trying to think of something in the shed or the 'third drawer' in the kitchen that might be broken. While trying to get a better position to take a shot of a fly I backed into and broke this small (6 mm diameter) branch on the Pittosporum tree.
Happy Macro Monday!
The position of Hohenzollern Castle is impressive by itself. All around wide lowlands are reaching out and in the middle the castle is enthroned on its mountain. The builders couldn't have chosen a better place.
Die Lage der Burg Hohenzollern ist an sich schon beeindruckend. Runderherum erstreckt sich eine weite Ebene und in der Mitte thront die Burg auf ihrem Berg. Einen besseren Platz hätten sich die Baumeister nicht suchen können.

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life you could save.

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!

The berlin cube cloudified and kaleidoscoped for Sliders Sunday. Composite made of two images taken there in mid July. The first image is a capture I took standing right next to the cube's facade and pointing the camera straight up. In Photoshop, I copied the layer with the original image, flipped the new layer horizontally, and cross-faded it with the first layer by using the blending mode "Overlay" at 75 % opacity. 100 % would have resulted in a punchier look on the right side, but I rather liked the softness and that it somehow looks as if the cube would slowly dissolve into or merge with the clouds. The next step was to replace the sky above the cube(s). For that I used a small part of the very first image I'd taken at the cube; I was just about to compose the image in the viewfinder when I noticed the bird, and decided to skip the composing part in favour of the bird ;-) (Birds, just like photographers, love the new berlin cube. There was a constant coming and going on the cube's roof, and it seems that, while not even all new tenants have moved in, yet, the cube's roof has already been occupied by the bird population that lives in the Hauptbahnhof area.) Next, I gently HDRified the finished composite in Aurora, then went into ON1 where I added some sunbeams to the upper sky part of the image, and added a soft glow for an extra airy look.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, have a nice and safe new week ahead!
Kleine Spiegel-Spielerei vom "berlin cube" für den Sliders Sunday. Dieses Bild ist zusammengesetzt aus zwei verschiedenen Fotos, die ich dort Mitte Juli gemacht habe. Für Foto Nr. 1 hatte ich fast an der Fassade des Cubes gelehnt und die Kamera direkt nach oben gerichtet. Dieses Foto habe ich in Photoshop auf einer kopierten Ebene einfach horizontal gespiegelt und mit dem darunter liegenden Originalbild bei 75 % Deckkraft ineinanderkopiert. Danach habe ich den Himmel über "den Cubes" ersetzt, und zwar mit einem kleinen Teil des allerersten Fotos, das ich dort gemacht hatte. Ich war gerade dabei gewesen, eine gute Position zu finden, um den Cube möglichst sauber ausgerichtet fotografieren zu können, bemerkte dann aber den Vogel und beschloss, das saubere Ausrichten zugunsten des Vogels auf das nächste Foto zu verschieben ;-) Überhaupt ist der neue Cube schon sehr beliebt bei den Vögeln, die rund um den Berliner Hauptbahnhof leben. Während längst noch nicht alle Mieter in den Cube eingezogen sind, hat die Vogel-Gang vom Hauptbahnhof bereits das gesamte Dach in Beschlag genommen ;-) Bearbeitungstechnisch habe ich das fertig zusammengesetzte Bild erst in Aurora sanft HDRisiert und dann, in ON1, dem oberen Teil ein paar Sonnenstrahlen und zum Abschluss dem gesamten Foto ein leichtes Leuchten verpasst, um den luftig-leichten Look zu betonen.
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, bleibt gesund, liebe Flickr-Freunde :-)

Ballerinas have nothing on this bird! I can watch these Common yellow Leg Sandpipers for hours. I love their slender legs and long necks as they stride purposely in the low tide.
I think they look like dancers ... acrobatic and swift. When flying they extend their legs beyond their tails - gorgeous.
I think this is the 5th position, anyone??
Hoping all is well.

A Short-eared Owl had her eye on a possible Vole meal! The feet were in the landing position, ready for a grab. Unfortunately she did not come up with a meal this time. Photo taken at Shillapoo Lake, Vancouver, Washington.

This photo was in Explorer, this is a first for me. Thank you all for doing what ever you do to make that happen.
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!

Unfortunately, I was not able to see this guy pupate. It happened in the wee hours of the morning when I was still snug in my bed. However, there is a beautiful Chrysalis hanging from this leaf now. I’ll post that picture tomorrow. Good luck on your transformation Monarch!
Positioned perfectly in the early morning light, I captured this swan going through the motions of a wash and preen.

Another photo I took positioned along the banks of the Bow River in Banff National Park, facing the unmistakable, fortress-like silhouette of Castle Mountain. This shot captures the peak in its full, rugged glory—a massive block of Paleozoic limestone and shale that dominates the skyline between Banff and Lake Louise.
I used a low-angle perspective to turn the river’s rocky bed into a dramatic foreground that leads the eye toward the "battlements" of the mountain. The soft, golden light of Golden Hour casts a warm glow on the rock face while deep reflections shimmer in the still pockets of water.
Castle Mountain is a classic example of a "layer-cake" peak, showcasing distinct horizontal strata formed hundreds of millions of years ago. For a brief period (1946–1979), it was renamed Mount Eisenhower, but local reverence for its original, descriptive name eventually won out.
This image encapsulates the silent, ancient energy of the Canadian Rockies—where the steady flow of the Bow River meets the unmoving giants of the sky.

Diese Sanderlingen stellten sich am Strand der Nordsee hintereinander gegen den Wind auf. Nach einiger Zeit wechselten sie die Position. Der erste stellte sich hinten an, so dass jeder einmal vorne stand. In der Zwischenzeit konnten die mittleren ihr Gefieder putzen.
These sanderlings lined up in a row against the wind on the North Sea beach. After some time they changed positions. The first lined up at the back so that everyone stood at the front once. In the meantime, the middle ones could preen their feathers.

"Piove
sui monti e sulle scale
su petali e parole
sul cuore mio che batte
Piove sui poveri soldati
sui campi abbandonati e sulla mia città....
Chissà se agosto è ancora nostro,
se ancora splende il sole
o poi magari piove..
Chissà se mai la frustrazione
diventa un’emozione
così non piove più.
Piove,
sui banchi della scuola
su ogni mia parola che non riesco a dire,
provo un pò a dimenticare
infatti guardo il mare
e non ci penso più..............."

"When you’re happy from a dream
Is it hard to work out what is real
Is the real over there
More vivid than here ever feels
We could love, we could love you
If you need somebody to love you
While you’re looking for somebody to love
Sweet love illumination
Sweet, sweet love elevation"
