An ice covered jagged rock formation is the highlight of this scene in Penola Strait in the Antarctica peninsular. Taken from a zodiac.
Today I had no idea and nothing I put on a reflective surface worked. So I went for a walk and got the mail on the way in. Found I got a postcard from Costa Rica with an electric blue butterfly on it. Bingo! I had my background!

After showing you a view of Sanssouci Park's Orangery Palace from the lawn in front of the stairs leading up to the Palace, I thought you might be interested in a view of the main level of the Orangery Palace building ensemble. There won't be any newer images from the Orangery Palace than the ones from my 2018 visit, because when I checked Sanssouci Park's website for some extra information about the Orangery, I learned that the entire place – the palace, the plant halls, and the adjacent areas – are closed for renovation. Work started in 2019 and will last until 2029 (!), so my 2018 visit was a lucky one. Unfortunately, I hadn't visited the Palace's interior back then, so that's definitely a missed opportunity because the interior will be redesigned as an event location. Everything according to heritage protection, I assume, because you don't mess with UNESCO World Heritage status, but it still will be different. The heritage protection is probably also the reason why the renovation takes so long.
For Sliders Sunday, I've chosen a postcard-style edit with a vintage look for this sunny scene. In a way, these photos are already vintage, especially in the light of the ongoing renovation. This also turns this image's five-year hard drive slumber into a short nap. This image had still been totally untouched (and quite a few more photos from that visit still are) because back then I couldn't see their potential. So I'm glad I'd finally decided to upload the "Green Arrow" (my previous image) because that made me take another look at the "Sanssouci 2018" folder. Btw, one thing I've only noticed now when looking at the photo, not when I took the photo, is the fellow photographer (I don't know him) ;) I also decided to leave the two persons on the bench in the image, because they are half hidden by the fountain, and I think they also add to the relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!
I have always loved this scene that is shown on travel posters and promos on television. Gondolas are truly magnificent boats. Their timeless beauty adorn the waters of Venice as a testament to the romantic allure of this city surrounded by water.
A spot where I go kayaking a lot through the Summer until early Fall.I always see a lot of Painted Turtles along this shoreline.

Photo taken at Le Monde Perdu, Second Life
maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Le%20Monde%20Perdu/51/193/36
My eyes are white circles
above cheekbones on fire:
Pale hand gripping my pen.
Rounding up to the zero,
adding infinite fractions,
Letting nine become ten.
Two pink doves strut the shingles
Picking crumbs from the breakfast I saved
For you dear. and I wish you were here
On this postcard day.
Focus on the fine
indeterminate line
Where the sky meets the sea.
Desperate midweek words,
banal and absurd
Freely flow out of me.
Well, I may be a hostage to summer
But I'm a hostage, not a slave.
And I'm clear that I wish you were here
On this postcard day.
Precious cargo of flotsam:
mixed memories on an ocean tide
Swim madly with spice from the orient
On a mystery watery carpet ride.
But with the sun going down,
the wind goes around;
Blows them back out of mind.
My eyes are white circles
staring down past the point
Of my restless pen.
While the ghosts of my youth
all sworn to the truth
Call my name again.
Two brown legs don't make a summer.
But two brown arms couldn't keep me away.
Well, my dear, I wish you were here
On this postcard day.
