Same procedure as last week... I wasn't really happy with any of my images, and took several more (of the same subject) today, but in the end I decided to stick to an image taken last night. It's strange sometimes, isn't it? So here we go, circles, or rather holes of a reduction sieve (?) that came with my espresso maker. Each of the holes has a diameter of 1 mm / 0,03 inches. I wanted a very narrow focal plane and everything else as bokeh, and in that I guess I've succeeded – somehow. Well, I hope you like the image anyway, I've looked at it too many times yesterday and today, so I can't see the forest for the trees (or the coffee for the holes) :)
It's a single image illuminated with one LED lamp (equipped with the blue tealight holder), and backlight coming from another LED lamp (equipped with the yellow plastic bottle cap) on which I had also placed the sieve. Processed in DXO and Color Efex where I'd slightly tweaked the colours by adding some warmth with the Reflector Efex Gold filter.
HMM, Everyone!
This is a part of the procedure of a water purification system. It is a step in the process to make the water feel softer, ie to get rid of most of the iron and lime etc...
...as last holidays. Every time since the little pier of Hvidbjerg Strand has been constructed I have to creep under the building to take a shot. It has become almost an obsession. Needless to say that this exercise is more convenient in Summer and times of low tide. Blavand, Jylland, Denmark
The Wood Duck was hunted nearly to extinction during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Management procedures have been successful and there are now well over a million Wood Ducks in North America.
This is an archive shot of Cabbage Tree Creek at Shorncliffe, Brisbane in the late afternoon sun. Almost exactly 11 months later, the creek would be turned into a raging torrent that devastated local suburbs at levels never seen in previous floods because of the intensity of the rain.
We have friends who were victims of the creek and lost almost everything. Five weeks on, they are tearing their hair out with frustration as a well known high profile local insurance company has done nothing except make their life miserable. After five weeks they have hardly advanced with their claim because of poor customer service, lack of procedures for handling such events and a sneaky way of ensuring they pay out as little as possible despite promises in the PDS. They should have learnt after the public battering they received in 2011 but trade on their name, which in my opinion now, for a company I had a lot of respect for is worth sweet nothing. They rate 2 out of 10 after seeing what they have put our friends through.
This shot is taken just a bit upstream from where the creek enters Moreton Bay and as you can see, where the prawn trawlers tie up. They used to sell through a local Co-op but it closed years ago. Now they sell straight off the boat - can't get fresher than that.
The same procedure as every year ... "Look, what a beautiful little tree ... come on, let's cut it off and slowly kill it in the dry apartment and when it's no longer nice, then we throw it in front of the door, someone will take care of it" ... 😈

"Traditionelles Ende eines Weihnachtsbaums"
Die selbe Prozedur wie jedes Jahr ... "Schau, was für ein schönes kleines Bäumchen ... komm wir schneiden es ab und töten es langsam in der trockenen Wohnung und wenn es nicht mehr schön ist, dann werfen wir es vor die Tür, es wird sich schon jemand drum kümmern" ... 😈
In attesa di completare le procedure per la certificazione dei nuovi convogli, le OBB hanno presentato nel frattempo la prima Rh1216 versione "A" destinata ai servizi verso il nostro paese.
La E190.018 è qui ripresa al tramonto di una splendida giornata primaverile in corsa all'uscita da canyon che l'Adige traccia fra le stazioni di Salorno e Mezzocorona. (19/4/16)
Waiting for the approval of the brand new Railjet coaches in Italy, the first OBB Rh1216-A already painted in the same livery, the unit N°018, is in service with the Eurocity trains between München and Verona along the Brenner route.
Here it's running throught the Adige Canyon between Salorno and Mezzocorona with the train 89. (4/16/16)
„The same procedure as last week, Sir Winter - but that would be enough now...“

Same procedure as every year:
At the end of the years, I want to show a few of my old slides again:
Myotis daubentonii
Daubenton's Bat
Wasserfledermaus
Vandflagermus
Digitized slide from August 1995, the EXIF data refer to the camera used for digitizing, not to the original slide. The location indicated is not exactly to the point, but within a radius of 10 km
All my bat photos were taken as part of an authorized study of a bat roost.

Alle meine Fledermausfotos wurden im Rahmen einer genehmigten Untersuchung eines Fledermausquartiers aufgenommen.
The tours are well organized and prepared for emergencies. They have procedures to evacuate tourists for emergencies or claustrophobic anxieties. They DO NOT ALLOW tripods, monopods, or selfie sticks. They have apparently had problems with tourists.
This is an amazing place. Every turn shows a new amazing, colorful, glowing, canvas. It was easy to take lots of photos. The tough part was culling the photos when I got home.
There were 9 people (representing 4 families) and a guide in our group. The tours are a little under an hour from start to finish. We were the first of 4 or 5 groups in our time slot. The sent us in about 10 minutes apart. The guide is very informative and educational. There was some pressure to keep the group moving. The guide was helpful and took pictures of the families several times during the tour.

The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdez twazi’, which means “the spiral role arches.” Lower Antelope Canyon is about 3, 704 feet in elevation and the canyon walls are about 120 above the streambed. This canyon is more narrow to walk through, as it’s shaped like a “V”, so if you are claustrophobic this area is not for you. It goes into the slot canyon and have to maneuver thru closely on stairs, which is harder to walk through. This area is also located within the Le Chee Chapter of the Navajo Nation, near Page, Arizona.

Lubrication information tag hanging from the speed-control pull-chain of a mid-to-late 1950s-vintage Fresh'nd-Aire air circulator (the Successor to the Fan, as the tag boasts), about 2½" (63.5mm) tall. (I haven't yet posted a picture of the unit by itself, but it can be seen here; it has long since been relocated since I took that shot.)
I'll confess...even though this fan (sorry, air circulator) sees regular summertime use, I hadn't lubricated it in about fifteen years. Back when I first put it in service, I lubricated it with synthetic automatic transmission fluid instead of the oil recommended on the tag. Over the years, I noticed no performance loss. Since I had the unit apart on my workbench to clean off the accumulated dust inside and out before the photoshoot, I gave the bearings fresh squirts of ATF to keep the air circulator going for many years to come..
By the way, I couldn't help but search the address on the tag to see what became of the factory. It is now the site of an apartment building.
🇫🇷 Suivant la procédure habituelle des Seldjoukides, une basilique chrétienne sur le site fut convertie en mosquée après la capture de la cité en 1080. Une grande partie des matériaux de constructions et de la sculpture architecturale sont des remplois de la basilique et d'autres monuments byzantins voisins.
Reconstruction majeure de la mosquée en 1219
Le minaret, le mihrab de marbre (1891) datent de l'Empire ottoman.
La cour de la mosquée comprend deux mausolées monumentaux
la tombe décaèdre avec le toit en forme de cône : lieu d'inhumation de la dynastie seldjoukide qui abrite les sarcophages de huit sultans de Rûm
Le second mausolée fut commencé par Kay Kâwus
mais demeura inachevé à sa mort.....sépultures anonymes
🇬🇧 In the usual Seljuk fashion, a Christian basilica on the site was converted into a mosque after the city was conquered in 1080. Many of the building materials and architectural sculptures were taken from the basilica and other nearby Byzantine monuments.
Major rebuilding of the mosque in 1219
The minaret and marble mihrab (1891) date from the Ottoman Empire.
The courtyard of the mosque contains two monumental mausoleums
The decahedral mausoleum with its conical roof is the burial place of the Seljuk dynasty and contains the sarcophagi of eight sultans of Rûm.
The second mausoleum was started by Kay Kâwus
but remained unfinished at the time of his death.....sépultures anonymes
🇩🇪 Nach der Eroberung der Stadt durch die Seldschuken im Jahr 1080 wurde eine christliche Basilika auf dem Gelände in eine Moschee umgewandelt. Ein großer Teil des Baumaterials und der Bauplastik bestand aus Einzelteilen der Basilika und anderer benachbarter byzantinischer Bauten.
Umfassender Umbau der Moschee 1219.
Das Minarett und die marmorne Gebetsnische (1891) stammen aus osmanischer Zeit.
Im Hof der Moschee befinden sich zwei monumentale Mausoleen.
Das Zehnfingergrab mit kegelförmigem Dach ist die Grabstätte der Seldschukendynastie und beherbergt die Sarkophage von acht Sultanen von Rûm.
Das zweite Mausoleum wurde von Kay Kâwus begonnen.
Das zweite Mausoleum wurde von Kay Kâwus begonnen, blieb aber nach seinem Tod unvollendet.....anonyme Gräber

Same procedure as last time. Still going through the archives and still finding images worth processing. Again a first version, tomorrow or at the weekend I'll take a final look and do a print to see if I need to refine.
This year we went to the same place but the light didn't come close to what I saw that morning, one year ago. I will try again next year :-)
cheers
Edit: fixed the saturation a bit. Now it's more natural I think
