Happy Sunday friendly Flickrites!
Small lake south of Primrose on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. A totally random beautiful place along the road from Anchorage to Seward - which has lots and lots of beautiful places. Geotag is perfectly precise, however.
It's Sunday.
The first advent Sunday to be precise.
And it's just two weeks to my 50th...
I need a drink.
HSS everybody! ;-)
To be precise : in 6 weeks I will be standing at exactly this place to watch the waves. Blavand, Jylland, Denmark
Because we're talking about holiday memories, I'll go right back to the beginning of my Slovenia tour, to Bled to be precise.
I don't think I've ever photographed a subject as often in such a short time as the island with the church in the middle of Lake Bled. I was only here for two days and still there are at least 5 versions of this picture. And since I'm only counting the versions that were made from the shore. The conditions were constantly changing and so every time I looked at the lake the sight was completely different and beautiful again. So, of course, I had to capture all of these different faces.
Here, it's easy to see that it's dusk and besides the fact that a light just came on here and there (that's why I'm here), I'm standing under an umbrella in the pouring rain and trying to operate the camera with one hand. As you can see, I did quite well.
Weil wir gerade bei Urlaubserinnerungen sind gehe ich gleich nochmal zurück zum Anfrang meiner Slowenien Tour, genauer gesagt nach Bled.
Ich glaube, ich hab noch nie ein Motiv in so kurzer Zeit so oft fotografiert wie die Insel mit der Kirche in der Mitte des Bleder Sees. Ich war nur zwei Tage hier und trotzdem gibt es mindestens 5 Versionen dieses Bildes. Und da zähle ich nur die Versionen, die vom Ufer aus gemacht wurden. Die Bedingungen waren ständig im Wandel und so war der Anblick, jedesmal wenn ich auf den See geblickt habe, völlig verändert und wieder anders schön. Also musste ich diese unterschiedlichen Gesichter natürlich alle festhalten.
Hier, das ist unschwer zu erkennen, ist gerade Abenddämmerung und neben der Tatsache, dass gerade hier und da ein Licht anging (darum bin ich hier) stehe ich gerade im strömenden Regen unter einem Schirm und versuche mit einer Hand die Kamera zu bedienen. Was mir, wie man sehen kann, ganz gut gelungen ist.
Hof Lilach, to be precise. Between Ilmspan and Poppenhausen, Baden Würtemberg.
My grateful thanks for your visit, fave and comment.
Site emblématique de la ville des Sables d'Olonne, et plus précisément de son quartier originel de la Chaume, le phare de la Chaume, ou "Feu de la tour d'Arundel", est situé sur la terrasse de la tour d'Arundel qui constitue le donjon carré de l'ancien château Saint-Clair à la Chaume, bâti à l'entrée du port des Sables-d'Olonne au 14ème siècle par les princes de Talmont.

"Berlin" Gold, to be precise – which is made of chromium-nickel steel. This is the famous "Berlin" sculpture on Berlin-Charlottenburg boulevard Tauentzien. It was created in 1987 by artist couple Martin Matschinsky and Brigitte Matschinsky-Denninghoff, and erected for the "Skulpturenboulevard" (sculpture boulevard) exhibition, a temporary exhibition in public space (of Berlin-West) of seven large sculptures/installations on the occasion of Berlin's 750th anniversary in 1987 and in connection with the Capital of Culture Year 1988. The intertwined, yet separated steel pipes of "Berlin" were meant to symbolize the situation of the city that, back in 1987, was still divided by the Berlin wall.
Unlike the other sculptures, "Berlin" was bought by the Senate of Berlin after the end of the exhibition, and is permanently installed on Tauentzien's centre strip. There are several more chromium-nickel steel pipe sculptures created by Matschinsky-Denninghoff in Berlin (and other cities in Germany). The sculpture "Dreiheit" (Trinity), which I've photographed as well (and which I'll probably upload soon as well), can be found in front of the Berlinische Galerie in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
The building in the lower right corner is the Europa-Center, a building complex built between 1963 and 1965. Europa-Center's high-rise tower with the rotating Mercedes-Benz star on the roof was, for many years, West Berlin's highest building and also quickly became one of West Berlin's landmarks. Today, the entire building complex is heritage protected.
Berliner Gold
... Das, strengenommen, aus Chromnickelstahl in Gestalt der Skulptur "Berlin" besteht. Diese berühmte, aus ineinander verschlungenen, aber dennoch voneinander getrennten Röhren bestehende Skulptur, die die damals noch bestehende Berliner Teilung symbolisiert(e), wurde 1987 vom Künstlerehepaar Matschinsky-Denninghoff erschaffen. Die Erstausstellung erfolgte im Rahmen des "Skulpturenboulevards", einer Ausstellung mit sieben Groß-Skulpturen/-Installationen im öffentlichen Raum West-Berlins anlässlich Berlins 750. Geburtstag 1987 und der Kulturhauptstadt 1988. Anders als die anderen Skulpturen des Skulpturenboulevards wurde "Berlin" vom Berliner Senat erworben und ist permanent auf dem Mittelstreifen des Tauentziens in der City-West zu sehen.
Es gibt, nicht nur in Berlin, sondern auch in anderen deutschen Städten, noch weitere von Matschinsky-Denninghoff geschaffene Stahlskulpturen. Eine davon, die ich ebenfalls fotografiert habe (das Foto werde ich vermutlich demnächst auch hochladen), die Skulptur "Dreiheit", ist vor der Berlinischen Galerie in Berlin-Kreuzberg zu finden.
Das Gebäude rechts "unten" ist der Turm des Europa-Centers. Das Europa-Center besteht nicht nur aus dem Hochhaus, sondern auch aus einem Einkaufszentrum am Breitscheidplatz. Das Hochaus des Europa-Centers war lange Zeit West-Berlins höchstes Gebäude und avancierte, nicht zuletzt wegen des weithin sichtbaren, rotierenden Mercedes-Sterns auf dem Dach, schnell zu einem Wahrzeichen der geteilten Stadt. Der zwischen 1963 und *65 errichtete Gebäudekomplex steht heute unter Denkmalschutz.
Though sleepy, I had to take advantage of this rare calm-wind and clear-sky condition, which lasted only for a few hours, at Clear Lake late last night (1:43:52 am to be precise).😊
The house (not mine!) is all decked up, ready for the Christmas holiday!
If this look familiar to you, that's because you have a wonderful memory 👏 for I have captured this same scene in No Time To Sleep.
Thank you for your visit, fave and kind comments; have a fabulous week, dear all! 🌺
it’s precise, lightning-like, clean cut, brilliant, alert :-)

With this beautiful hibiscus flower I'm taking a little break from the landscape shots today. But this picture was also taken on Madeira. To be precise, this flower comes from a hibiscus hedge that ran around my hotel. What a sight, three different colors beamed at me every time I passed there.
Of course I had to photograph them too, even though I didn't have my macro lens with me and didn't get as close as I would have liked.
Nevertheless, I am enthusiastic about all three and am looking forward to showing them here. This is #1.
Mit dieser wunderschönen Hibiskus Blüte mache ich heute eine kleine Pause von den Landschaftsaufnahmen. Doch auch dieses Bild entstand auf Madeira. Um genau zu sein stammt dise Blüte von einer Hibiskus Hecke, die mein um mein Hotel herum verlief. Was für ein Anblick, drei verschiedene Farben strahlten mir jedesmal entgegen, wenn ich dort vorbei gekommen bin.
Natürlich musste ich die auch fotografieren, auch wenn ich mein Makroobjektiv nicht dabei hatte und dahei nicht nah heran gekommen bin, wie ich es gern getan hätte.
Trotzdem bin ich von allen dreien begeistert und freue mich schon darauf, sie hier zu zeigen. Das ist Nr. 1.

Look at that precise balance! Wing goes right, part of tail feathers move left, perhaps without thought.
You know how when you think, oh, what the heck, I'll just try this, and it almost turns out to be identifiable? The hummingbird continued to examine me and didn't seem to mind the macro lens. I cropped this a tad.
Identification welcomed. Not trying for an award with these photos. Just having goose-bump interactions ;-)
Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) female/juvenile perhaps.

L’origine du nom !
Les noms donnés à l’espèce, latin et français, ont une signification
précise.
Son nom latin, « Anthocharis Cardamines » se découpe en trois.
« Anthocharis » est une association de mots grecs, « fleur » et
« grâce », faisant référence aux ailes du papillon qui rappellent les
couleurs des pétales de fleurs. « Cardamines » renvoie à la plante
de prédilection du papillon, la Cardamine des prés.
Le nom français « Aurore » est donné pour la couleur orange se
trouvant sur les ailes des mâles.
C’est une espèce qui est fortement liée à la présence
de Cardamine des prés.
Les milieux propices au développement de cette plante se font
aujourd’hui de plus en plus rare. Cela entraine une diminution des
habitats de prédilection de l’Aurore
The origin of the name!
The names given to the species, Latin and French, have a meaning
precise.
Its Latin name, “Anthocharis Cardamines” is divided into three.
"Anthocharis" is a combination of the Greek words, "flower" and
"grace", referring to the wings of the butterfly which recall the
colors of flower petals. “Cardamines” refers to the plant
favorite of the butterfly, the Cardamine of the meadows.
The French name "Aurore" is given for the orange color se
found on the wings of males.
It is a species that is strongly linked to the presence
of Meadow Cardamine.
The environments conducive to the development of this plant are
increasingly rare today. This leads to a decrease in
Aurora's favorite habitats

This is a medium-sized species (11–15mm) and has a black body with white spots. The precise pattern of white around the inner margin of the eyes, the white bands on each pair of legs together with the white band on the first abdominal segment are distinctive. The second, larger pale band on the abdomen is often absent.
Can be confused with other black Ichneumoninae with white spots.
Habitat Hedgerows and copses.
When to see it - June to September
The larvae feed on butterfly and moth larvae.
Thought to be a fairly common species in Britain but little recorded.

🇫🇷Nous voici sur la terrasse de notre location pour cette 2° semaine de vacances en Corse, plus précisément Tiuccia qui est une station balnéaire de Corse-du-Sud, dépendant de la commune de Casaglione et située à une vingtaine de kilomètres d'Ajaccio, sur la route de Calvi (par la côte), au fond du golfe de Sagone.
Elle est bâtie au pied du rocher de Capraghja (Carpraja), où demeurent quelques vestiges des fondations du château des comtes de Cinarca, et d'où l'on domine la totalité du golfe, jusqu'à Cargèse.
Le site est bordé au nord par le Monte Lazzu (100 m). Dans son prolongement en direction de la mer se trouvent également les ruines de deux anciennes fortifications génoises, la tour du Capigliolu (XVIe siècle) et un fortin (XVIIe siècle/XVIIIe siècle).
🇬🇧 Here we are on the terrace of our rental for this 2° week holiday in Corsica, more precisely Tiuccia which is a seaside resort of Corsica-du-Sud, dependent on the commune of Casaglione and located about twenty kilometers from Ajaccio, on the road to Calvi (by the coast), at the bottom of the Gulf of Sagone.
It is built at the foot of the rock of Capraghja (Carpraja), where remains of the foundations of the castle of the counts of Cinarca, and from where one dominates the entire gulf, up to Cargèse.
The site is bordered to the north by the Monte Lazzu (100 m). In its extension towards the sea are also the ruins of two ancient Genoese fortifications, the tower of Capigliolu (16th century) and a fortin (17th century/18th century).
The original photo was taken on a campsite in Victoria (Daylesford to be precise). The resident peacocks were ever present and rather noisy - but beautiful!
I used Snapseed to bring out the detail.

The precise location of this bird was posted back in December. Would he still be there?
He was.
He was a life bird for us.
I'm posting this months later....
I was impressed with the results from a post processing program.
I wondered if I could spiff up my less than great photos of this exciting and rare birb.
I'll give you the link to David Steidensticker's owl photo.

Look at the change in the feather detail around the beak.
I'm doing the free trial.
So far the hardest thing has been finding the photo in my files after putting it through processing.

Budva. Old Town, Montenegro
The oldest church with the precise date of constructing in Budva is crunch of St. Maria’s. It’s placed in the Old Town of Budva. This is a short Latin inscription in stone about the building of a church in 840.
Today it survives incorporated in the north wall of St. Maria’s, one of the oldest known, accurately dated, medieval inscriptions on the eastern Adriatic coast. It is believed that it refers to the church of St. Maria cited in later written sources. It is not known where the church was located; possibly it was even an adaptation of the diocesan basilica. The small town of Budva did not preserve many records of its appearance in the Middle Ages.
Material remains confirm continuity of habitation in the town. For this period there are the remains of ecclesiastical buildings, and something an be concluded on the basis of the medieval walls.
…… The English Bridge in Shrewsbury to be precise - the Welsh Bridge is the other side of town! Had to go to town to pick up some more timber supplies and took the opportunity to have a quick whizz around town & grab my #308 picture of the day. Thought this made a change from shots from off the bridge which I’ve posted loads of times!! Water levels are up but not enough to give a full flow through this section of the bridge. Alan:-)

To be more precise this is Castle Augustusburg in Brühl (sometimes also called Augustusburg palace which sounds more like it looks like) - built as a weekend cottage by the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne, Clemens August of Bavaria of the Wittelsbach family in the 18th century. The castle is surrounded by extensive gardens and park grounds. From shortly after World War II until 1994, Augustusburg was used as a reception hall for guests of state by the German President, as it is not far from Bonn, which was the capital of Germany at that time.The castle is protected by the international “Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural heritage”. I shot this on a photo safari with my friend during the only hour of good light yesterday.
Today Thursday morning I went out to take some photos of the sunrise and the Five Towers. The wind was completely calm, the temperature at 08:06 am (the precise moment I took this photo) was 32F (0ºC )(in my humble opinion very comfortable because I like cold), and I was totally alone in the place from where I took this picture. Are there better conditions?
This is the image of the iconic Five Towers of Madrid welcoming a new day, with the first colors and the light of dawn illuminating them.
I hope you like the image and I take this opportunity to wish you a good Thursday, good health, love and peace.

Colores del amanecer en las Cinco Torres, Madrid, España
Hoy jueves por la mañana salí a hacer unas fotos del amanecer y las Cinco Torres. El viento estaba completamente calmado, la temperatura a las 08:06 am (momento preciso en que tomé esta foto) era de 0ºC (en mi humilde opinión muy confortable porque me gusta el frío), y estaba totalmente solo en el lugar desde donde tomé esta foto. ¿Existen mejores condiciones?
Esta es la imagen de las icónicas Cinco Torres de Madrid dando la bienvenida a un nuevo día, con los primeros colores y la luz del amanecer iluminándolas.
Espero que os guste la imagen y aprovecho para desearos un buen jueves, mucha salud, amor y paz.

At each corners of the walls surrounding the Forbidden City, you will find 4 towers that resemble Chinese temples. These are far from being any religious building. These towers were constructed as defence facilities alongside the lofty walls, the gigantic gate towers and the moat. Built in the 1420 during Yongle Emperor’s reign, they are known as “Corner Towers” and they have since been the iconic watch towers of the forbidden city since the Ming Dynasty.
Not only were the towers built with precise mathematics and engineering skills that was ahead of its time, it was surrounded by interesting facts and mysteries. One fascinating fact about the towers was that they were built using the magical number “9”. The number “9” was thought to be a heavenly number which sounds like and represents “longevity” in Chinese. Its use was usually reserved for the Emperor only. Each of these towers has 3 floors that consists of 9 roof beams, 18 pillars and 72 ridgepoles. All of which are divisible by 9. Amazingly, the total of these numbers add up to 99.
Sant'Antonio is a giant edifice without a precise architectural style. Over the centuries, it has grown under a variety of different influences as shown by the exterior details.
The new basilica was begun as a single-naved church, like that of St Francis of Assisi, with an apsidal chancel, broad transepts and two square nave bays roofed with hemispherical domes like that of San Marco, Venice. The exterior style is a mixing of mainly Romanesque and Byzantine elements, with some Gothic features.
Later in the 13th century, the aisles were added in a more Gothic style, the length of each nave bay being divided into two aisle bays with pointed arches and quadripartite vaults.
The eastern apse was also extended in the Gothic style, receiving a ribbed vault and nine radiating chapels in the French manner. Later also, the Treasury chapel was built in 1691 in the Baroque style by Filippo Parodi, a pupil of Bernini.
The domes, like the domes of St. Mark's Basilica, were raised in height externally, giving a Byzantine appearance to the building, while the multitude of small belfries which accompany the domes recall Turkish minarets. Externally, at the main roof line each section of the building is marked by a low gable decorated with blind arcading in brick. These gables combine with the domes, the broad buttresses and the little towers to create a massive sculptural form, both diverse and unified in its conglomeration of features. As a work of architecture the building is particularly effective when viewed from the north west,] an extra dimension being added to the facade by the huge plinth and dynamic equestrian monument of the Condottiero Gattamelata by Donatello.
Just a single wake line and a solitary wing bridging the gap between sea and sky.
Captured during the precise moments of twilight, the composition utilizes a high-contrast palette of deep indigo and soft amethyst to explore themes of isolation, scale, and human transit.
A lone vessel glides through a vast, liquid canvas of deep indigo, cutting a delicate path through the silent expanse of the sea. It moves under the gentle watch of an ethereal twilight sky, where the horizon dissolves into a soft tapestry of pastel pink and amethyst light. The ocean mirrors the heavens, cloaked in rich, velvety blues that evoke a profound sense of solitude, peace, and timeless wanderlust.
The yacht leaves behind a gentle, chalk-white wake, a temporary scar of human presence on an otherwise pristine, eternal canvas.
To the right, a seabird hangs suspended in the air, a fleeting silhouette that accentuates the immense scale and quiet majesty of the open water. For a brief moment, the bird matched the yacht's speed, a silent companion bridging the gap between sky and sea. It balances the weight of the ship and breaks up the expansive water adding a touch of natural life.
The clean, modern lines of the ship stand in perfect balance with the soft, geometric division of the horizon, blending human engineering with nature's quiet artistry.
Massive expanses of blue and purple frame the yacht. This amplifies a powerful sense of isolation, scale, and quiet solitude on the open water.
The vessel occupies the lower right quadrant. It moves toward the left frame, leaving a clear "path" that creates a natural narrative flow.
Shot from a cliffside high vantage point, this angle flattens the horizon line into a clean, geometric divider, keeping the composition visually balanced.
"Amethyst" perfectly identifies the rare, high-contrast violet and pink gradient in the sky, while "Meridian" directly highlights the crisp, geometric horizon line that splits the canvas in half. A peak point of splendor capturing a luxury vessel navigating the absolute peak of twilight.
Le Lézard des murailles (Podarcis muralis) est une espèce de Lacertilia (parfois nommés Sauria) de la famille des Lacertidae. Ce petit lézard est originaire d'Europe continentale, plus précisément des régions italiennes et balkaniques. Il est largement présent dans tous les pays d'Europe méditerranéenne ou limitrophes, mais pas dans les îles de Méditerranée. Il a été introduit en Amérique du Nord et en Angleterre.
L'insecte sur son dos est un acarien dont les lézards sont souvent porteurs.
The common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) is a species of lizard with a large distribution in Europe and well-established introduced populations in North America, where it is also called the European wall lizard. It can grow to about 20 cm (7.9 in) in total length. The animal has shown variation in the places it has been introduced to. Fossils have been found in a cave in Greece dating to the early part of the Holocene.
The insect on its back is a mite, which lizards often carry.

He was.
A few curious folks stopped to watch the spectacular bird drop to the ground and then pop back onto a perch.

Weather forecast on a knife blade. On a Damascus steel knife blade, to be precise. Not what I initially had in mind, but that so often is the case when it's one of the "MM themes of the 1000 possibilities". Usually, for such a wide theme, I only have a few vague ideas what I could do for it, and the end result is pretty much a random surprise of what looks, firstly, most interesting through the macro lens, and, secondly, best as a photo, of course. Also, what is easy when it's not asked for - such as finding interesting patterns - becomes nearly impossible when it's required: patterns positively seemed to escape me as I went looking for them around the apartment ;-) And when I saw the knife in the kitchen (I hadn't even considered it as a possibility) I just thought "OK, that's probably very boring, but I'll give it a try." As for the "macro lens surprise", that was that not only did the banding typical for Damascus steel looked like waves (often an intended effect, but I only learned about that when I did my research on Damascus steel for the description and the tags), but those scratches from sharpening the knife that you can see in the upper part of the image also looked like heavy rain. And here it was, unfolding before my eyes: the high seas tempest.
The setup for the photo was as simple as it gets: I simply propped the knife, sharp side of the blade up, against a jar of sugar (my photo studio also doubles as breakfast and dinner table), both of it sitting on top of a heavy book to give it the same height as my camera on its small table top tripod, positioned one LED lamp (warm light) at the side of the table and grabbed my LED torch (cold light) to illuminate the blade from above (which also added the ever so slight 3D effect on the upper part of the blade), enabled the in-camera focus-stacking function, and hit the shutter button. I shot three focus stacking sequences of different parts of the knife of which this looked best.
Processing steps: The cold / warm light effect is something I get quite often when I use different light sources as above mentioned. It even works with one artificial light source (provided it gives warm light) and daylight from the window. Here I liked the split tone effect very much because I think it adds more depth to image. I wish I could have achieved the vivid colours you see here entirely by the use of light and the use of a colour filter (warm-cold or a combination of a cooling and a warming filter), but I've only recently considered to buy a few photo filters to improve my landscape photography, and since a good filter is expensive, I think I will buy one or two more versatile filters first before checking out the more exotic colour filters. So the colour enhancement here was done in Lightroom, where I tweaked the saturation and luminance of the blue, yellow and orange tones, and then in Nik's Color Efex, where, as final touch, I applied a Bi-color filter. I hope that these processing steps are deemed OK according to the new MM rules regarding the editing of an MM shot. I also did some sharpening and de-noising in Topaz Sharpen AI ("Focus" yielded the best result).
HMM, Everyone, and have a beautiful and safe week ahead!
