One building is clear or rather in focus. I enjoy doing these and the hard part is which way to go. Which object to unlayer.
Happy Slider Sunday
Sandstone relief created by erosion in a rock face, "Arches Gorge", Sinai Peninsula, Egypt (archive image).
Durch Erosion entstandenes Relief aus Sandstein in einer Felswand der "Bogenschlucht", Sinai-Halbinsel, Ägypten (Achivbild).
I’ve been in a bad place recently so I needed to get in a good place. I’m not growing old gracefully, like many in their mid sixties I’m on the wrong end of the average in developing common age related problems and rather than getting on with it I’m letting them effect my life. My anxieties are stressing me out and zapping my confidence. Definitely the pandemic has exacerbated my black moods, but again this is just a case of me allowing it too. So I needed to make an effort to get in my happy place, and there is nothing better for me to get out there and climb a mountain. So yesterday I actioned a plan I had bubbling in my head for a week to get to the lakes and do a gut busting climb up to Dalehead from Rosthwaite, and if I’m going to get up a 4am and drive for two and a half hours I might as well throw in some early morning photography. Believe it or not considering my many trips to the lakes I can’t remember ever standing on the shores of Derwent water. The reasons for that is that I usually head upwards, secondly Borrowdale is very touristy with space and loneliness is what I crave, however at 6:30am in the morning went I’m park the car I have that in spades. So here I am on the shores of Derwentwater the first thing I do is take the photo millions of other have done before me, but there is a reason for that, don’t you think? After a happy hour catching the morning I head off to Rosthwaite to really throttle back that relief value. Once the boots are on, the packs on my back and I walk away from the car everything is forgotten and my only thoughts go towards the next 2500 feet of ascent and did I say I was smiling.
Daily Dog Challenge: Under Cover.
Kahn under the cover of a misty hose to recover from another hot walk. We've had a bit of a heat wave breaking some records for November. Hot, windy, nasty days and not enough relief at night. Looking forward to cooler tomorrow.
created with a card packaging box, , photographed and used for another design, this piece lived for about ten minutes!

Relief is always closer than we sometimes think...in the form of a new day. Night's separation of our days allows the world to catch its breath and to catch up. Seemingly impossible situations and overwhelming decisions crumble to digestible perspectives upon a decent night's sleep.

Later in the day (taken from the same place as the recent shot I posted), when the sun had moved around, the relief of the cliff face of the island made itself known.
What a difference a change in height can make. From the previous shot we walked down to the water's edge. Lower down a lot of the infrastructure disappered. The implied hustle and bustle of roads and trains replaced with a tranquility- the quiet passing of the water nearby the only noise on a silent night.
Kreuzabnahme-Relief / Externsteine / Horn-Bad Meinberg / Teutoburg Forest / North Rhine-Westpahlia / Germany
"The Externsteine relief is a monumental rock relief depiction of the Descent from the Cross scene, carved into the side of the Externsteine sandstone formation (www.flickr.com/photos/tabliniumcarlson/54607905469/in/dat...) in the Teutoburg Forest....
It is the oldest relief of this type known north of the Alps, dated to the high medieval period (likely the 12th century)." [Wikipedia]

William Zorach's Law (c. 1959), a relief sculpture on the Manhattan Civil Court Building, 111 Centre Street in Lower Manhattan
One can almost hear a sigh of relief … finally some rain, it is not enough, but the heathland looks definitely fresher after a day and night of precipitation. It’s astonishing how fast certain plants recover from drought. But the real impact of the less and less rain we‘ll only see in a few months/years.
