Das Kaverliershaus wurde schon 1804 errichtet, 1824/25 erweitert. Es diente zur Unterbringung der Gäste und des Dienstpersonals. Seit 1825 wird es auch das Danziger Haus genannt, da die verzierenden Fassadenteile aus Danzig von einem dortigen Haus mittels
Lastkähnen zur Pfaueninsel gebracht wurden. Bereits vorher (vor 1480) sollen diese Fassadenteile schon in Nürnberg (seit 1360) ein Haus verziert haben, und zuvor in Venedig hergestellt worden sein soll. Die Bausubstanz des Kavaliershauses ist heute schlecht, eine Sanierung für dien nächsten Jahre angekündigt. Das Haus wird heute von zwei Familien
bewohnt und kann daher nicht innen besichtigt werden. (Quelle: www.berliner-verkehrsseiten.de/pfaueninsel/ )
The Cavalier House was built as early as 1804 and extended in 1824/25. It served as accommodation for guests and service personnel. Since 1825 it has also been called the Dantzig House, because the decorative façade parts were removed from a house in there and brought to Peacock Island by barges. It is said that these parts of the façade had already decorated a house in Nuremberg (since 1360), and that they had previously been made in Venice. The building condition of the Cavalier House is poor today, a renovation is announced for the next years. Today two families live in the house.

The gardening and architectural design of 67-hectare Peacock Island began at the end of the 18th century under King Frederick William II and his mistress Wilhelmine Encke. They had the small summer palace and a dairy constructed in a picturesque building style resembling a monastery gone to ruin, based on English and French models, with references to an ancient Roman style as well.
Modeled on islands in the South Pacific discovered approximately 20 years before, exotic trees and plants gradually took root on this island – as did the colorful peacocks and menagerie completing the exoticism of Peacock Island. However, most of its animals were given to the zoological garden in Berlin in 1842, which led to the foundation of the current zoo.
Later, during the era of Queen Luise, the island was transformed into an aesthetically stylized ornamental mock farm, but with farming practices intended to yield profits at the same time. The project was abandoned shortly thereafter, and Peter Joseph Lenné designed a picturesque landscape park in its place.
Today, Peacock Island – its palace, dairy and the other park buildings, its charming footpaths with beautiful views, nearly 400 old oaks and the oldest rose garden in Berlin – is a popular destination for leisurely strolls in peaceful surroundings. The island is part of the UNESCO World Heritage and is a protected flora and fauna habitat.
Peacock Island is a world-renowned example of garden design. Please help us to maintain the park as a place of culture and recreation.

Mallard chick giving his wings a workout in preparation for the first flight. The beak seems to be growing faster than the wings. That's not surprising given that the beak does not stop the whole day.
The "Mach Loop" and the surrounding districts of which this is one are regular spots for military aircraft to practice routines.
I've been drawing Yuki from the anime Wolf Children, the last couple of days.
First just sketching and then I decided to colour them and practice with that a bit.
I love Yuki in that movie so she had to be the subject.
Gotta say that I love moleskine. Their notebooks are just perfect. The picture is from some asian flick.
two black headed gull practice shots from yesterday , I have changed a couple of settings in the camera after Fridays mess up and it seems to have worked the gull in flight is at roughly the distance the owls are later in the year and I'm happy with the i.q on it now OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
A practice test shot of the full sun with my Tiffen 95C ND 18 Stop Solar Filter.
I am getting ready for the total solar eclipse event coming up on April 8th. I will be heading down to Texas for that, so I can get into the path of totality.
The last full eclipse happened in my state of Oregon back in August 21, 2017. I was simply awestruck at the site of it, so I just had to make a trip down to see it again. It will be the last full solar eclipse I will see in my life time!
These are two of my last face-ups for my friends Nhaya and Misaki. I want to improve my face-ups so I'm practicing a lot, but when a face-up needs feckles, I always have so much fun! I love to see BJD skin as realistic skin. Thank you so much to Nhaya & Misaki!

Estos son de mis últimos maquillajes para mis amigas Nhaya y Misaki. Sigo practicando para mejorar en el tema de los maquillajes pero la verdad es que cuando se trata de maquillajes con pecas todo queda tan bien y es tan divertido! Me encanta que la piel de las muñecas parezca de verdad. Muchas gracias por confiar en mí, Nhaya y Misaki!
I spent an enjoyable time a few days ago practicing a new technique that I learned for photographing hummingbird. Even if the pictures hadn't turned out well, it would have been fun, as these little birds are a lot of fun to watch.
I learned the lighting from a book by Linda Robbins called The Hummingbird Guide. Her method is to use a minimum 0f 5 to 6 strobes, a supplied background, and photograph the birds in the shade so that you don't have to overpower the sunlight. When you use multiple strobes on a subject in the shade you can use lower power settings for each flash which results in shorter flash durations which means it freezes the wing blur. I used 6 Yongnuo strobes because I wanted to use identical manual power output for each flash . One strobe was pointed at the background, one was underneath the feeder, and the other 4 strobes surrounded the feeder. The strobes were all at under 1/32nd power, in manual mode, and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N., and you can see the EXIF info on the side. This method is the only way that I've been able to photograph one of these birds with little, or no, wing blur. Down below in the first comment, you can see a picture of the setup that I used.
I've taken quite a few pictures of hummers over the years and put them an album creatively called Hummingbirds.
I took this photo at Komazawa-Olympic-Park, Tokyo, Japan.
An old man was changing his wear to start practice on stairs.
I don't know how long he have kept his work.
It looked something ceremony.
As any self respecting Lenfel will tell you, one does not just become a master archer, rather it takes years of constant practice. Thus within Lenfald, a nation of master archers, scenes like this are extremely common. In the fields and forests, all over the nation, one can see archers, often of both sexes, practicing their skills just about anywhere.

A sneaky snatched shot of choir practice at Gloucester Cathedral this afternoon (photography is not normally allowed during choir practice).
These are not the boy (and now also girl) choristers!
My second proper attempt at star trails. Just a quick one of 60 odd 20S exposures to practice the technique. Taken over my local park while taking the dog for a run : )
Camera was controlled by an open source app on my smartphone and a small device built to link the two together, effectively allowing me to use my phone as an intervolometer.
One afternoon I was waiting for someone and while I was waiting I decided to practice and trying to get a better understanding of the effect of shutter speeds.
I used a rainbow windmill, its three little lights that spin round and round and produce different patterns. I picked this picture because it showed a full circle and all the different colours it produced and the fact that it looks like its going really fast…lol
I did do much in LR…just decreased the blacks and added a little bit of lens vignetting.
