The picture is taken in the fortified church in Cisnădie (German: Heltau) in Sibiu County, Transylvania, Romania located approximately 10 kilometres south of Sibiu. Originally built in the 12th century as a Romanesque basilica, the church was fortified during the 15th century, after the 1493 Turkish invasion, to protect the local population of Saxons against repeated Ottoman raids. Simultaneously to the fortification work the church itself suffered a gothicization process (see Wikipedia)
La hice en negro mate y nickel plated por encargo y hoy se la he dado a su dueña, le ha encantado. Y yo estoy contenta por ello.

THIS year's annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the town of Nanton (roughly 98 km / 61 miles S of Calgary) was so different from last year's Count, with more snow mainly seen only on the higher roads, making the roads so much easier to drive, and temperatures that were much milder (-7C). As usual, I got practically no birds photos other than a close shot of a beautiful Sharp-tailed Grouse, but I was very happy to get photos of other things, such as scenery. Needless to say, seeing five (or 6?) distant Golden Eagles was a real treat! I love the landscape in this area, in the SW quadrant of the Count circle for Nanton - rolling hills that are beautiful at any time of year.
The LAST Nanton Count was originally supposed to have taken place on 28 December 2013, but the weather forecast warned of a Flash Freeze, and so it was postponed till 5 January 2014. The weather was bright and sunny for us that day. However, photos taken on that day did not show how brutally cold it was! On the hour-long drive south of Calgary, we hit -34C (-29.2F)!!!!! It did eventually warm up a few degrees and thankfully, there was no or very little wind, which makes all the difference. The only walking we had to do was when we called in at various farms and homesteads. One backroad in particular had too much snow on it, so we had to leave that one out. Also, there was just too much snow in many of the farmyards, so we weren't able to check out all the trees and bushes as thoroughly as we would like to have done.
After the Count, we returned to the meeting place at the home of Leah and Bill, where they had prepared a delicious supper that they so generously provide each year for us (as well as a breakfast snack). You couldn't wish for a nicer, more welcoming family (includes their son, Mike, who puts in a lot of effort organizing as well as taking part in, this annual Count each year).
I'm posting Andrew Hart's E-bird Summary of our small (just four of us in one car) group's day (leader Tony Timmons). Won't be of interest to most of you, but it helps me remember what we see from year to year!

I will also add leader Tony Timmons' account - simpler to read : ) A few of the numbers are slightly different in each summary, though I'm not quite sure why. We were so lucky to see so many Golden Eagles this Count.

Take time to pause for reflection, even in not 4-way. If you like this format, I have another 1700+ quadrants on my Flickr site, with a variety of subjects . Zoom in to find find interesting surprises in the center.
TXL 193 557 met DGS43101 (Wanne Eickel-Verona Quadrante Europa) bij Retzbach, later volgde een grote deceptie bij de 193 558 :( 24-7-2018

A recently developed oldie from the original RAW.
I didn't even develop this at the time it was taken, but I liked it as I was browsing through my old archives. I have 2.5-tb of photo-files I have shot, mostly RAW, because I have saved every RAW file, like it or not, since 2000. Storage is cheap.

Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.
Let me explain this picture. As mentions above, I had to fine 2 new subjects. Last year’s photo of an elbow did not work for this year. Below is last year’s picture.
No matter how I cropped this photo and rotated it, the resulting kaleidoscopes were alsways offensive to me, and likely to you, the viewers. So in my brain I cooked up a more tasteful option: elbow macaroni. So I bent my rules a bit to get this picture past ya.
I took these with my iPhone at the beginning of the school year. As I was looking through my pics in my phone camera I saw them again. They made me think of how fast the (school) year goes... We're halfway done!!

Searching for *new* locations in and around Rotterdam - quite a challenge - this is Capelle a/d IJssel in the direction of the Van Brienenoordbrug. Happy shooting and thx for dropping by!
About the shot
Single shot with my favourite Sigma 12-24 DG HSM / Nikon D700 combi (again)..
