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.

So many heartfelt thanks to SO MANY OF YOU that have sent IMs, private and public messages inquiring as to the welfare of our little cabin in the mountains. This awful, massive wildfire started 6 days ago, via lightning strike about 8 miles DOWNWIND from our cabin. I cannot emphasize how important wind direction and location can be to survival in these situations. Ironically, even as many of you, our dear friends in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming suffer from smoky, unbreathable skies, ours are virtually smoke free and the clearest blue I have seen in years.
The picture shows you here, just how close the fire was...

Hamnøy is a small fishing village in Lofoden, Norway. It is located about 1.5 kilometres northeast of the village of Reine,
The first time I seen an image of this it was somewhere I always wanted to visit and this week I was lucky enough to make it. We had a 4.30am start to make it for blue hour and having an hour or so of snow sleet and rain to stand in but well worth it.
Please feel free to favourite and follow.
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!
Early start at Fingeringhoe, Nightingales were singing which seemed everywhere, luckily this one popped its head out the brush for me. Never saw another one but could hear them everywhere 😁

She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she is so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do? (Ooh)
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly
And find me again....

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....
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!
Die ersten Vorboten zeigen sich schon. Kein Frost mehr. Die Saison läuft an.
The spring season has started.
Started with a photo of mine taken a few weeks ago in our front yard. Shot as square so didn’t crop. Used normal oil painting effect at 50%. Then used Adobe photoshop express paper effect PA27. Left without border.
I was up early on the day I had a long drive (this picture was taken at 4:00am) and this gave me the chance to see another lovely sunrise. The fishermen in this trawler were obviously up even earlier than I was as they leave for the day's fishing!
I love a good trail. I love it when it pays off with some wonderful scenery or just opens your mind to the world around you.

I have never seen the lake freeze completely over in one night, but record cold temps of -4F/-20C last night did the job. There was no ice at all when I went to bed. I don't expect it to last, however, as a bright sun even now looks to be working on it and the forecast actually calls for a few days in the 40sF/4-5C ahead...as mentioned previously, a range we have yet to see at all this year.
