#Shocktober
If only tomorrow's MM theme were "Backlit" – this tiny spider that I found today, sitting on my insect shield and enjoying the autumn sun there, would have provided me with a nice photo. But the theme is "Sidelit", and I still have to take that shot. But first things first, after all it's (Sliders) Sunday, it's Shocktober (have I mentioned that the spider sat on the inside of my insect shield?), and a spider is just perfect for that :) I've used the 16 mm extension tube to get closer to the tiny beast. It patiently let me take a few shots, but not too many, before it went on the run first upwards along the insect shield. Later it must have completed the prison break, because when I returned to that window, the spider was gone. I've also used diverse filters on this image, in ON1, in Color Efex, in Analog Efex, to
give the image a proper Sliders Sunday look.
HSS, Everyone!
Wenn das morgige MM-Thema "Backlit" wäre, hätte mir diese winzige Spinne heute ganz zufällig ein schnelles Foto beschert; aber das Thema ist nun einmal "Sidelit" – und damit habe ich noch nicht einmal angefangen. Aber der Reihe nach, erst einmal ist heute Sliders Sunday, außerdem haben wir Schocktober, und dafür kam der achtbeinige Winzling in der Herbstsonne auf meinem Insektenschutzgitter (auf dessen Innenseite, wohlgemerkt!) gerade recht. Um noch näher heranzukommen, habe ich den 16-mm-Zwischenring verwendet, quasi als Arachnophobie-Therapie-Hilfsmittel. Das hat sich das Spinnchen tatsächlich auch ein paar Minuten gefallen lassen, bevor sie ihre acht Beine in die Hand nahm und das Weite suchte, erst vertikal das Insektengitter hinauf und später wohl durch eine der winzigen Öffnungen hinaus in die Freiheit, denn als ich kurze Zeit später noch einmal nachgesehen habe, war sie verschwunden.
Ich wünsche Euch einen entspannten Start in die neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Thou singest alone on the bare wintry bough
As if Spring with its leaves were around thee now...

Hi everyone,
I thought it would be fun to dress up the poppy by saturating specific colours. Then I applied a radiant effect from Topaz Studio. Happy Slider's Sunday! HSS!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have an amazing day!

When looking for animals yesterday (for Smile on Saturday) I came across this peacock image which I took in Mauritius on a holiday 10 or so years ago. I knew I couldn't use it because more than the face was on the picture but I played with the sliders a little bit and thought I'd post it today.
Posted for Sliders Sunday - - Post Processed to the MAX!
Happy Sliders Sunday!
I used a brightly colored pink and blue fabric as the background for the needle/thread. In post I added some HDR and a Ribbet filter called Panography-ish, then added a drop-shadow frame.

My last photo from the Berlin government district (which you can find in the first comment) was taken from the Kronprinzenbrücke (Crown Prince Bridge); in that image, you could only see one of the rusty fenders of that bridge; since I'd also uploaded two other images before where you can only see a small part of the Crown Prince Bridge (please check the album, if you like), I thought it's about time to upload a photo of the bridge itself. I have two different versions, taken from both sides of the Spree, which differ quite considerably in their "look and feel", although the bridge itself looks pretty much the same, of course, so it was difficult to choose which I'd upload first. This photo is the more harmonious version because there isn't so much going on in the background – the buildings you can see here are the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (on the left), and the building of the Bundespressekonferenz (Federal Press Conference; on the right) –, while in the other photo of the Crown Prince Bridge which I'd taken four days before this there are the more well-known governmental buildings plus a "slice" of the berlin cube in the background, and there are also nice drama clouds.
So stay tuned for the "drama version" of the Crown Pince Bridge which is even more of a slider than this one; you will see it on one of the future Slider Sundays :)
This final image is an HDR made from exposure bracketing consisting of three single images which I've combined in HDR Efex, and which I've sliderified in Lightroom with the masking tool, and in Color Efex Pro with various filters.
The Crown Prince Bridge was designed by famous Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava. His style is unique and the design of his buildings is so distinctive that I think you will always easily recognize a Calatrava design once you've seen one of his constructions. To me, his constructions often have a distinctive sci-fi touch, and they also remind me of alien or futuristic exoskeletons, but that's probably just me ;) The origins of the Crown Prince Bridge date back to 1709, when a simple wooden bascule bridge, the "Thiergartenbrücke", was erected across the Spree. Much later, from 1877 to 1879, a new wrought-iron bridge was built in the current location, and that bridge was named "Kronprinzenbrücke" in honour of Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm (Frederick III) who later was German Emperor for 99 days until his death in 1888. That bridge was heavily damaged in WWII. Since it connected the Berlin boroughs of Tiergarten (West-Berlin) and Mitte (East-Berlin), it was finally torn down in 1961 after the Berlin Wall had been erected. The new Crown Prince Bridge which was opened in 1996 was the first new bridge construction that (re-)connected the former Western and Eastern sectors after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Happy Sliders Sunday, and have a nice week ahead, dear Flickr friends!
There’s Gold in the Stream
Or am I just lost in a Dream ?
A Golden Sheen under the Water’s Surface
This left me stunned and rather nervous
Not all that glitters is genuine Gold
Or is this just a Legend which has been told ?

Happy Sliders Sunday.
I had a comment on Facebook on another version of this photo that it boggled the mind. I thought that was a much better title than mine.
Taken during a photo walk with Flickr friends last year at the first "Weihnachten im Tierpark" ("Christmas at the Tierpark") event at the Tierpark Berlin (one of the two zoos in Berlin) which is located in Berlin's Eastern borough of Friedrichsfelde. The Tierpark was built in 1955 on the grounds of the Friedrichsfelde Palace (built in 1685) as a counterpart for the much older Berlin Zoological garden which is located in the Charlottenburg borough (then West Berlin). While in 1955 there was still no physical border between East and West Berlin, and Berliners from both sectors could still move freely throughout the city, there had been plans to close borders to the Western sectors along the German-German demarcation lines as early as 1952; so it probably was already foreseeable even at that time that the zoo in West Berlin would, at some point, no longer be accessible for the East Berliners (for the Berlin population, though, the building of the wall six years later was an absolute shock).
When you zoom in you can see my Flickr friends standing right in front of the Friedrichsfelde palace. This was the last photowalk we did together before the Corona virus struck. I hope that we will be able to take up our regular meetings / photowalks again sometime in 2021 :)
Dear Flickr friends, I apologize for my tardiness lately; I have very busy days and not as much time for Flickr as I'd wish to have. I hope that soon I'll have more time to visit your streams and comment again :)
Wishing you a Happy 2nd Sunday in Advent, and Happy Sliders Sunday!
Aufgenommen letztes Jahr beim ersten "Weihnachten im Tierpark". Der Tierpark wurde 1955 auf dem Gelände des Schlosses Friedrichsfelde (erbaut 1685) im östlichen Berliner Ortsteil Friedrichsfelde als Gegenstück zum wesentlich älteren (und auch heute nach wie vor bekannteren) Berliner Zoologischen Garten erbaut. 1955 gab es zwar noch keine physische Grenze zwischen dem damaligen Ost- und West-Berlin, die Berliner konnten sich in ihrer gesamten Stadt noch frei bewegen, Pläne zur Abriegelung der Grenze zu den Westsektoren gab es aber bereits seit dem Jahr 1952; und so war wohl bereits 1955 absehbar (wenn auch nicht für die Berliner Bevölkerung, für die der Mauerbau sechs Jahre später ein absoluter Schock war), dass der Zoo im damaligen West-Berlin für die Ost-Berliner irgendwann micht mehr erreichbar sein würde.
Der Besuch des weihnachtlich geschmückten Tierparks war der leider vorläufig letzte gemeinsame Fotowalk mit unserer kleinen Flickr-Stammtisch-Gruppe (wenn Ihr ranzoomt, könnt Ihr einige von uns direkt vor dem Schloss Friedrichsfelde stehen sehen), bevor Corona dann voll zugeschlagen hat. Ich hoffe, dass wir 2021 wieder die Gelegenheit bekommen werden, etwas zusammen zu unternehmen :)
Ich bitte meine momentane "Kommentar-Faulheit" zu entschuldigen; ich habe gerade sehr viel zu tun und deshalb leider nicht so viel Zeit für Flickr, wie ich gerne hätte :(
Ich wünsche Euch einen schönen 2. Advent, liebe Flickr-Freunde, passt gut auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund!
An einem kleinen See inmitten eines Waldes stehen die Überreste einer kleinen Kapelle. Ein Lost Place. Ein Verein hatte das Dach mit Spenden gerade neu gedeckt, als Vandalen ein Feuer entzündeten und das Dach zerstörten.
Bleibt achtsam liebe Freunde, wir gehen in eine traurige Zeit wenn die Menschen nicht endlich Vernuft zeigen und sich impfen lassen.
Danke für Euren Besuch, ich freue mich über jeden Kommentar auch wenn ich ihn vielleicht aus an Zeitmangel nicht beantworten kann.

The remains of a small chapel stand by a small lake in the middle of a forest. A lost place. An association had just re-roofed it with donations when vandals lit a fire and destroyed the roof.
Stay mindful dear friends, we are going into a sad time if people don't finally show some sense and get vaccinated.
Thank you for visiting, I appreciate every comment, even if I may not be able to answer them due to lack of time.

Au bord d'un petit lac, au milieu d'une forêt, se trouvent les vestiges d'une petite chapelle. Un lieu perdu. Une association venait de refaire le toit grâce à des dons, lorsque des vandales ont allumé un feu et détruit le toit.
Restez vigilants chers amis, nous allons vers une triste époque si les gens ne se montrent pas enfin raisonnables et ne se font pas vacciner.
Merci de votre visite, je me réjouis de chaque commentaire, même si je ne peux peut-être pas y répondre par manque de temps.

I wanted to upload this for Friday Flora, but Flickr had hiccups this Friday, so I decided to give the sliders a more intense go and process it to the max for Sliders Sunday ;-)
Taken in a street around my corner; I liked the pose of this lovely rose, kind of elated, a little fancy, and elegant like a dancer. At F/2.8 the background was rather distracting, so I isolated the rose, and slightly desaturated and blurred the backdrop. I've also added a texture to it in Analog Efex, one of the "dirt & scratches" presets. The rose was processed in HDR Efex, and as final touches I added a bokeh filter in ON1 (low opacity), and increased the warmth of the shadows and tweaked the HSL sliders for green, red, and magenta in LR.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, and take extra care now that the numbers of infections are soaring again!
Diese Rose war eigentlich für Freitagsblümchen gedacht, aber da Flickr diesen Freitag ja erheblichen Schluckauf hatte, habe ich das Foto etwas intensiver für den Sliders Sunday bearbeitet.
Aufgenommen in einer Straße bei mir fast um die Ecke. Ich fand die Pose der Rose so hübsch, keck, ein wenig exaltiert und so elegant wie eine Tänzerin. Da ich den Hintergrund (Blende F/2.8) ein wenig zu vorlaut fand, habe ich in PS die Rose freigestellt, den Hintergrund dezent entsättigt, leicht weichgezeichnet und ihn in Analog Efex mit einem "Schmutz-und-Kratzer"-Filter versehen. Die Rose selbst habe ich in HDR Efex bearbeitet, anschließend für das gesamte Bild in ON1 einen Bokehfilter angewendet (mit geringer Deckkraft) und als Abschluss in LR die Wärme der Schatten verstärkt und die HSL-Regler für Grün, Rot und Magenta angepasst.
Ich wünsche Euch einen schönen Sonntag, liebe Flickr-Freunde, und passt angesichts rasant steigender Fallzahlen ganz besonders gut auf Euch auf!

Even in Times of Madness
Somewhere is Light in the Darkness
We all must learn to cope
But there’s always Hope
Times are changing
The World is re-arranging
Forget all your Trouble
But do not live in a Bubble
Instead, please take care
Even if you think it’s a Nightmare
After each heavy Rain
The Sun will come out again
