A great woman, worldwide known as "HM the Queen", has left this world.
May she be accompanied by wonderful flowers on her last journey into another World where she can rest in peace ....

Transparent raindrops hang on a bunch of Scarlet Firethorn berries floating in space with colorful bubbles as an honorary accompaniment. Just another ordinary day on our planet... ...And remember, there is NO planet B.
In December 2018, at the end of our house building in Sri Lanka, we took a short trip to Singapore, where this picture was taken. - Instagram 2020
This is an optical illusion created by blurring:
You are looking through the holes of a flat skimmer ladle onto the blue glitter foam rubber underneath. I focused on the edges of the bokeh until a 3D effect was created and it looked like spheres : ))
In the first comment you can see a photo of the ladle and foam rubber
Crazy Tuesday - theme of August 23, 2022: Geometry
taken with the manual Laowa 60mm ultra macro lens (I don't know the aperture anymore as I was playing around a lot ; ))

Dies ist eine optische Täuschung, bewirkt durch Unschärfe:
Ihr seht hier durch die Löcher einer flachen Schöpfkelle hindurch auf das darunter liegende blaue Glitzer-Moosgummi. Den Fokus habe ich auf die Ränder des Bokehs gelegt, bis eine 3D-Wirkung entstand und Kugeln "erschienen"
Im ersten Kommentar seht ihr ein Foto der Schöpfkelle
Nicknamed "Super-food", because it is low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins C and K. On top of that they look beautiful and taste yummy and can be used to decorate a beautiful dish !!
It had been raining that morning when I arrived at Wynn Nature Center. I decided that it would be macro day and pulled out the 65mm lens, one of the hardest to use, but oh, what images it can make! Here I worked the rain droplets on the long leaf of a fireweed plant.

This spherical panorama was taken in the Presbytery at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, England. Architecturally, the cathedral is outstanding both for its scale and stylistic details. Having been built originally in a monumental Romanesque style, the galilee porch, lady chapel and choir were rebuilt in an exuberant Decorated Gothic style. The present building dates back to 1083, and it was granted cathedral status in 1109.
The east end of the cathedral, shown here, was completed in 1252. The Presbytery was built to house the shrine of St Etheldreda, the founder of the original monastery that occupied this site from 673. The shrine attracted pilgrims for centuries until it was destroyed in the Reformation.
The beautifully ornate stonework of the High Altar at the top of the image resembles solid gold in its glowing light. Behind it you can see the colourful stained glass of the East Window.
Keine perfekte Kugel im geometrischen Sinne, aber doch von ähnlicher Form.
Not a perfect ball. Ideal geometric constructions are reserved for mathematics.
Or please keep off the grass.

The geothermal water that flows over this almost spherical rock, covered by minerals of different colours deposited by the geyser, creates the illusion of an extraterrestrial planet. (El Tatio geyser fields, Chile).
A special gift my wife bought for me.....I was unable to use any Pool Balls the Bottle..... ( check out yesterday)
... water droplets on a smokebush provided this awesome bokeh from the RF100mm f2.8L IS USM macro lens
Kugelpanorama
Ich wollte die letzte Nacht eigentlich die Milchstraße Fotografieren, leider ist mir nach dem ersten Bild das Adaptergewinde vom Skytracker gebrochen. Hab dann das Panorama gemacht damit ich nicht leer nach Hause fahren muss.
Das besteht aus 20 Hochformatbildern.
Rechts der Streifen ist ein Flugzeug, ganz rechts unten in der Ecke ist die Andromedagalaxie zu sehen und unten der hellste Punkt ist Jupiter neben dem noch ein Irridiumflare zu sehen ist.
Man siehts schlecht aber links oben, also quasi im Nordwesten der Kugel ist ganz leichtes Polarlicht zu sehen.
An dem Bild sieht man auch gut wie Licht verschmutzt auch Rügen leider schon ist.
Beste grüße und ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich!

A threefer! One flower and two bees.
Tall Globe-thistle: European species of globe thistle in the family Asteraceae. It is native to central and eastern Europe from Germany and Italy east into Russia. The species has escaped cultivation and become established in the wild in scattered locations in eastern Canada and the northern United States.
It is the largest of all globe thistles, a branching perennial herb up to 150 cm (60 inches or 5 feet) tall. One plant can produces several flower heads, each with a very nearly spherical array of white or pale blue disc florets but no ray florets.
Brown-belted Bumble Bee (lower centre): It is native to much of the United States except for the Southwest, and to the southernmost regions of several of the provinces of Canada. This bumblebee can occupy many kinds of habitat, including meadows, wetlands, agricultural fields, and urban areas, even densely populated cities.
Western Honey Bee (upper right): One of the first domesticated insects, and the primary species maintained by beekeepers to this day for both its honey production and pollination activities. With human assistance, the western honey bee now occupies every continent except Antarctica. (Wikipedia)

We visited the Ornamental Gardens, part of Ottawa's Experimental Farm a couple of weeks ago. These thistle flowers were just alive with bees and other pollinators. I was lucky to capture this flower head with two different bee species.

We've recently discovered these liquorice balls and they are amazing. With a piece of liquorice in the centre, surrounded by a crisp outer shell of different flavours.
ARCHITECTURE BUILDINGS IN BELFAST NORTHERN IRELAND 04-04-2023
RISE is the official name given to the public art sculpture located at Broadway Roundabout in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[1] However, it has been given unofficial, colloquial titles such as the "Balls of the Falls", "the Testes on the Westes" and "the Westicles".[2] These names have been derived by both the sculptures location on Broadway Junction (located above the A12 Westlink and in close proximity to the Falls Road)[3] and in reference to its shape made from two, spherical, metal structures.[4]
The RISE sculpture was designed by Wolfgang Buttress and consists of a geodesic sphere suspended inside a larger, 30 m (98 ft) diameter sphere and stands at an overall height of 37.5 m (123 ft).[5] Geodesic refers to the shortest path between two points on a curve so that in the case of the RISE sculpture, adjacent connections on each of the spheres are connected using straight bars, thereby minimising the distance between two points.[5] At 30m wide and 37.5m tall, RISE is the biggest public art sculpture in Belfast.[6]
RISE was commissioned by Belfast City Council[1] and built in 2011[7] as part of a multimillion-pound road improvement programme.[8] It now sits atop of the A12 Westlink Underpass (a grade-separated junction) where, according to a 2009 NI assembly report, sees approximately 80,000 cars on average flow past it each day.[9]
