The view from Hamilton Conservation Authority Devils Punchbowl. A single frame showing Battlefield Monument (1KM away) in the foreground, Tim Horton Stadium ( 7.5 KM away) Burlington Bay (10 KM away) and off in the distance, HWY 6 climbing the escarpment (15 KM away). What a view!
A single hosta plant just emerging from the soil - edited in Lightroom to black out the soil and ehance the lighting a bit. This hosta grows extremely fast - I took this shot in the morning and I wasn't 100% happy with the DOF - I went back at the end of the day and it had grown and opened up too much to get the same effect.
Just a simple five-petal single rose.

Giacomo Jaquerio (Turin, c. 1375 - Turin, 1453) Christ rising from the sepulcher with symbols of passion beside - frescoes on the southern wall of the presbytery. - Preceptory of Sant'Antonio di Ranverso - Buttigliera Alta (Turin)
Le storie di Sant'Antonio e la processione degli offerenti sono attribuite a Jaquerio. Nella parte superiore della parete gli affreschi sono suddivisi in tre registri in cui sono descritti episodi della vita di Sant'Antonio; in essi hanno uno spazio rilevante le tentazioni a cui venne sottoposto il santo. Nella parte inferiore, la cui superficie è interrotta da un arcosolio e da due porte che introducono alla sacrestia, è rappresentata un'unica scena: da destra verso sinistra sono raffigurati una coppia inginocchiata con offerte, accanto alla quale si trova un bambino che porta un cero e poi gruppi di pastori che spingono avanti a se capre e maiali.
Nell'arcosolio è rappresentato Cristo che si erige dal sepolcro con accanto i simboli della passione.
The frescoes on the southern wall of the presbytery.
The stories of Saint Anthony and the procession of the offerers are attributed to Jaquerio. In the upper part of the wall the frescoes are divided into three registers in which episodes from the life of Saint Anthony are described; in them the tetations to which the saint was subject have a relevant space. In the lower part, whose surface is interrupted by an arcosolium and by two doors that introduce it to the sacristy, a single scene is represented: from right to left there is a couple kneeling with offerings, next to which there is a child carrying a candle and then groups of shepherds pushing goats and pigs forward.
In the arcosolium is represented Christ who stands from the sepulcher with the symbols of passion.
Neuschwanstein Castle in the Allgäu Alps at mucky weather, Hohenschwangau, Swabia, Bavaria, Germany
Some background information:
Neuschwanstein Castle and neighbouring Hohenschwangau Castle are definitely one of the highest attended visitor attractions throughout Germany. While Hohenschwangau Castle is visited by more than 300,000 visitors from all over the world each year, Neuschwanstein Castle is even visited by 1.3 million people annually. Hence, both Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castle have really become a big business. The tourist infrastructure around both castles leaves no touristic wishes to be desired and hence is well-prepared for the rush of visitors that arrives here every day. Well, compulsory visit made, but I for one definitely prefer the hidden gems.
Probably the most spectacular and also most famous view of Neuschwanstein Castle is the one from the so-called Marienbrücke (in English "Mary’s Bridge") overlooking both palace and the surrounding landscape. The Marienbrücke crosses Poellat Gorge right behind Neuschwanstein Castle in a distance of about 100 metres. Usually it’s crowded with tourists and visitors have to queue up to be able to cross the bridge and get a view of the building from there. However, at the time we were there, the Marienbrücke was closed due to problems with its statics. The necessary construction works won’t be completed before autumn 2022, just in case you plan a visit.
Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century historicist palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near the town of Fuessen in southwest Bavaria. Like its neighbour Hohenschwangau Castle, it is situated in the Ostallgäu area in the Bavarian region of southern Swabia, directly bordering the Austrian state of Tyrol. The term Allgäu is applied to the northern part of the Alps and their foothills located in southwestern Bavaria. Both castles overlook the Alpsee (in English: "Alp Lake") and the Schwansee (in English: "Swan Lake") with a distant view into the Tyrolean Alps.
The Alpsee, which you can see on this picture, is a lake in the Ostallgäu, located about 4 kilometres southeast of the town of Füssen. It has a shoreline of about five kilometres (3.1 miles) and a depth of up to 62 metres. The German-Austrian border is situated just 450 metres south of the Alpsee. Also south of the Alpsee there’s a spring that feeds the lake. A little subsurface stream drains out of the Alpsee at the north shore, feeding the smaller Schwansee 400 metres north of the Alpsee as well.
The palace of Neuschwanstein was commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria (the so-called "Fairy Tale King") from the House of Wittelsbach as a retreat and in honour of Richard Wagner. While Hohenschwangau Castle was the childhood residence of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, Neuschwanstein Castle was intended to be his private residence, until he died in 1886. It was opened to the public shortly after his death. Since then more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle.
Hence, the older one of both castles is Hohenschwangau Castle, which was designed by Ludwig’s father, King Maximilian II of Bavaria, in the first half of the 19th century. Neuschwanstein as well as Hohenschwangau Castle have predecessor buildings on the same spots, which had become ruins. The stronghold on the spot of Neuschwanstein Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1090 under the name of "Schwangau", while the stronghold on the spot of Hohenschwangau Castle was first mentioned in 1397 under the name of "Schwanstein". Only in the 19th century, the names of both castles switched.
Neuschwanstein Castle embodies both the contemporaneous architectural fashion known as castle romanticism, and King Ludwig II's enthusiasm for the operas of Richard Wagner. The King saw both buildings as representatives of a romantic interpretation of the Middle Ages, as well as the musical mythology of his friend Wagner, whose operas Tannhäuser and Lohengrin had made a lasting impression on him.
The building design of Neuschwanstein was drafted by the stage designer Christian Jank and realised by the architect Eduard Riedel. For technical reasons, the ruined castle could not be integrated into the plan. Before and during the construction phase, the King insisted on a detailed plan and on personal approval of each and every draft. Ludwig's control even went so far that the palace has been regarded as his own creation, rather than that of the architects involved.
The construction of Neuschwanstein took a rather long time. It began in 1868, but King Ludwig II wasn’t able to move into the palace until 1880. The construction costs in the King's lifetime amounted to 6.2 million marks (an equivalent to 45 million € today), almost twice the initial cost estimate of 3.2 million marks. As his private means were insufficient for his increasingly escalating construction projects, the King continuously opened new lines of credit. Even after his debts had reached 14 million marks, King Ludwig II insisted on continuation of his different private architectural projects, to which also the palaces of Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee belonged.
To realise all his projects, Ludwig was also able to draw on an additional secret income, which he received in return for a political favour given to Otto von Bismarck. This favour was his approval of the imperial coronation of William I, King of Prussia, who was acclaimed German emperor at the Palace of Versailles in January 1871. By doing that, he had to divest himself of many of his royal prerogatives.
Despite its size, Neuschwanstein did not have space for the royal court, but contained only the King's private lodging and servants' rooms. The court buildings served decorative, rather than residential purposes. The palace was intended to serve King Ludwig II exclusively (who never had a wife or children) as a kind of inhabitable theatrical setting. However, it was also dedicated to the life and work of Richard Wagner, who died in 1883 before he had set foot in the building. In the end, Ludwig II lived in the palace for a total of only 172 days.
In 1886, while Ludwig II stayed in Neuschwanstein Palace, the Bavarian government decided to depose the King, who had become more and more divorced from reality. Shortly afterwards, he was also incapacitated and forced to leave his palace. Ludwig was then put under the supervision of Benhard von Gudden, a German neuroanatomist and psychiatrist. On 13th June 1886, both died under mysterious circumstances in the shallow shore water of Lake Starnberg near Berg Castle. Hence, his life ended tragically and the mystery of his death may also have contributed to the personality cult and the popularity, Ludwig has received after his demise.
Today, Neuschwanstein Castle has become a global symbol of the era of Romanticism. The palace has appeared prominently in several movies and has also served as the inspiration for Disneyland's "Sleeping Beauty Castle". In 1977, it became the motif of a West German definitive stamp. And in 2007, it was a finalist in the widely publicised on-line selection of the" New Seven Wonders of the World". Even a meteorite that reached Earth spectacularly in 2002 was named "Neuschwanstein". Since 2015, Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee palaces are on the German tentative list for a future designation as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. A joint candidature with other representative palaces of the romantic historicism is discussed.

The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries throughout the Second World War.
The Spitfire continued to be used as a front line fighter and in secondary roles into the 1950s. It was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft and was the only British fighter in continuous production throughout the war.
The Spitfire was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. J. Mitchell, chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works (which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong from 1928). Mitchell continued to refine the design until his death from cancer in 1937, whereupon his colleague Joseph Smith became chief designer. Where speed was seen as essential to carrying out the mission of home defence against enemy bombers, the Spitfire's thin cross-section elliptical wing allowed it a higher top speed than several contemporary fighters, including the Hawker Hurricane.
During the Battle of Britain (July–October 1940), the Spitfire was perceived by the public as the RAF fighter, though the more numerous Hawker Hurricane shouldered a greater proportion of the burden against the Luftwaffe. The Spitfire units had a lower attrition rate and a higher victory-to-loss ratio than those flying Hurricanes.
After the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire became the backbone of RAF Fighter Command, and saw action in the European, Mediterranean, Pacific and the South-East Asian theatres. Much loved by its pilots, the Spitfire served in several roles, including interceptor, photo-reconnaissance, fighter-bomber, carrier-based fighter, and trainer. It was built in many variants, using several wing configurations.
Although the original airframe was designed to be powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine producing 768 kW, it was adaptable enough to use increasingly powerful Merlin and later Rolls-Royce Griffon engines producing up to 1,520 kW.
You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you'd experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it.
