the start off Spring....

Fishermen have their boats ready and head out to sea in the hope of catching a bountiful catch.

used a 3 stops NiSi soft GND filter and stopped down a lot for the sunburst effect.

 

Thanks everyone for visiting my stream :-)

The Gäuboden is a region in Lower Bavaria in southern Germany without any clear geographic or cultural boundaries, that covers an area about 15 kilometres wide south of the River Danube and the Bavarian Forest, beginning opposite Wörth an der Donau and stretching as far as Künzing. The largest town in the region is Straubing, which is often called the centre of the Gäuboden. The Gäuboden is one of the largest loess regions in southern Germany. The farmland is nearly flat, no field borders or trees that might hinder the usage of huge machines.

Happy wrapping, dear Flickr friends 💖

Spent a beautiful day getting up to the Gabler peak this autumn. There is a small wooden shelter, so called Gabler Biwak...as shown on this capture. Will return to that great spot next year, as the panorama is gorgous from there. Have a good start into the new week soon. Thx, Udo

A young inflorescence (flower spike) of the swamp Banksia, Banksia robur. It is less than 2cm tall surrounded by brown hairy bracts. When mature, the flower spikes may be up to 15cm tall.

 

The inflorescence consists of hundreds of small flowers arranged in pairs. The flowers change colour as they grow. A photo of an inflorescence in which the flowers are open is below.

 

As their name suggests they grow in swamps in the wild along the eastern Australian coast but they do well in gardens too.

 

Thank you for your visit. I appreciate faves and comments very much and I am grateful for invitations too.

I fell by the wayside like everyone else

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, but I was just kidding myself

Our every moment, I start to replace

'Cause now that they're gone, all I hear are the words that I needed to say

When you hurt under the surface

Like troubled water running cold

Well, time can heal, but this won't

So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better?

If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather

So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting?

It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless

So, before you go

Was never the right time, whenever you called

Went little by little by little until there was nothing at all

Our every moment, I start to replay

But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face

When you hurt under the surface

Like troubled water running cold

Well, time can heal, but this won't

So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better?

If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather

So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting?

It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless

So, before you go

Would we be better off by now

If I'd have let my walls come down?

Maybe, I guess we'll never know

You know, you know

Before you go, was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better?

If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather

So, before you go, was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting?

It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless

So, before you go

This is spring starting up. The first tender greens on the bushes and the tall tree is beginning to bloom.

One of my favourite bike paths, taken last year. We are not quite there yet.

HFF!

Where it all started, or where you can find out how it started.

There are stories that should not be forgotten... Well, perhaps we should never forget. From memories, from the past and from our history we learn. Today I begin to record the result of my investigations. A task that has taken me a year, a long year of wandering between the shelves of the Carnelian Archive, where all the Fairlands chronicles are kept. The dust, the smell of leather, paper and history have been my faithful companions in this search, which is now over. It was something personal, yes. It has already been lost in time and in the silence of my relatives over the years, but I needed to know the truth. And the truth, like a polished diamond with countless faces, is not as simple as they imagined. There is no good or bad, but a mixture of the two whose balance maintains the Universe. Anyway, this is not the time to ramble. I think I should pick up the scattered fragments, hinted at in these flickr posts, and tell the whole story, though maybe not the whole truth, who knows....

Taken at The Headland, Hartlepool, Cleveland on 14/02/2016.

This was yesterday's sunrise (one aspect of it!) as a reverse follow up to yesterday's sunset which I uploaded yesterday. As the pink sunlight shines on the island a dark band of snow clouds drops its load!

 

I've started working my way through my contacts pictures now and hope I will soon catch up with all of you! It may take an hour or two!

 

Have a great Wednesday!
