I was shooting for the style of Joan Mitchell. Don't think I quite got there but I like this anyway. I was also tempted to put a wolf or something into the image but I exercised self-restraint. LOL!

Tempted, all is vacant

I've been down before

I need replacement

Who knows just where the end is

Who cares what you're defending

 

I can't see

What you want from me

I can't be, no

What you want me to be

Angel...

  

Decending, she's never faking

You can see her eyes

There's no mistaking

She knows where the end is

She says just stop pretending

 

I can't see

What you want from me

I can't be, no

What you want me to be, no

Angel of mine

Angel...

 

But she said

I'm not bothered

And you're the same

Well I'm done with love

And you're to blame

 

Sit down

Why don't you listen

Have an open heart

Whoa to our position

A young peregrine falcon was perching at the top of a tree. A jackdaw decided to perch next to it. Within seconds the falcon launched an attack. The jackdaw had a narrow escape!

Pre COVID I often visited the woods at Morgaston and then wandered into the house grounds of The Vyne NT property - I am a member- and wandered round the lake to the cafe for lunch before returning. These days of course all walks have to stop at the gate to this very tempting path unless you have booked a space. I am looking forward to a time when there is less danger of infection and when we do not have to plan everything in advance!

Look at these Gos Shoes... How can you not just smile :)

The Fuente del Ángel Caído (Fountain of the Fallen Angel or Monument of the Fallen Angel) is a fountain located in the Buen Retiro Park in Madrid, Spain. The statue that crowns the monument is the masterpiece of Ricardo Bellver who realized it in plaster in 1877, inspired by verses from Paradise Lost of John Milton (Canto I). The state acquired the work and presented it to the 1878 Exposition Universelle. Since only works in marble and bronze were accepted, the statue was cast in bronze at this occasion and the plaster original destroyed.

 

"Je suis la Lumière qui fait venir l'ombre

Le fils de l'Aurore derrière les nuits sombres

Gardien des mystères

Étoile du matin

Roi des Chérubins

Je suis Lucifer

Qui peut penser

Qui peut penser

À la tristesse du Diable

À la tristesse du Diable

Non je ne suis pas, non je ne suis pas

Celui qu'on vous fait croire

Celui qu'on vous fait croire

Je suis l'Art et le Savoir

Je suis le Jour et le Noir

Protecteur et tentateur

Celui qui fait battre votre cœur..."

 

(Lyrics in English)

 

"I'm the light which brings shadow,

[I'm] the son of dawn after dark nights,2

The watchman of mysteries.

 

[I'm] the morning star,

The King of cherbus,

I'm Lucifer.

 

Who could ever think,

Who could ever think

About the Devil's sadness?

About the Devil's sadness?

No I'm not, no I'm not

The one you're taught about,

The one you're taught about.

 

I'm art and knowledge,

I'm day and night,

The guardian and the tempter,

The one that makes your heart beat..."

That fresh powder and blue skies are so tempting for anyone wanting to walk into this scene.

"Tischlein, deck dich!" is a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.

Tischlein, deck Dich. Oder Fastenzeit?

„Tischlein, deck dich!" ist ein Märchen der Brüder Grimm.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

This fairy tale is about a carpenter's apprentice, who at the end of his apprenticeship gets an inconspicuous little table. If you say to the table "table, cover up yourself!", Then he is neatly set and provided with the most delicious food. ... A tempting performance ;-)

/

Lent: The time before Easter, which is consecrated in the Christian Church to fasting, abstinence and penance to commemorate the fasting of Christ in the wilderness. In the Western Church, it lasts from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday and thus covers 40 days of the week.

///

In diesem Märchen geht es um einen Schreinerlehrling, der am Ende seiner Lehrzeit einen unscheinbaren kleinen Tisch mitbekommt. Wenn man zu dem Tisch sagt „Tischlein, deck dich!“, dann ist er sauber gedeckt und mit den herrlichsten Speisen versehen. ... Eine verlockende Vorstellung ;-)

/

Fastenzeit: Die Zeit vor Ostern, die in der christlichen Kirche dem Fasten, der Enthaltsamkeit und der Buße geweiht ist, um dem Fasten Christi in der Wüste zu gedenken. In der Westkirche dauert sie von Aschermittwoch bis Karsamstag und umfasst somit 40 Wochentage.

This week has been colder and the instinct to stay inside a warm cafe with a warm cup pf tea is inevitable. The taste was strawberry, reminding me of Summer ....

 

Wish you all a beautiful Sunday .

Tasmania is brimming with so many places of natural beauty. This little gem is Dove Lake, which I have been lucky enough to visit twice now. I asked Chat GPT to tell me about it and here is what it said:

 

Dove Lake Walk, located in the stunning Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park in Tasmania, is considered one of Australia's most beautiful nature walks. It offers a 6-kilometer, 2–3-hour circuit around the glacially carved Dove Lake, nestled directly beneath the towering Cradle Mountain.

 

The walk takes hikers on a journey through diverse landscapes. As you navigate the undulating path, the walk offers both intimate and epic views of Cradle Mountain and immerses you in the surrounding vegetation. The track undulates around Dove Lake, traverses beneath the mountain, then returns through magnificent rainforest taking you through some of Tasmania's special vegetation, from buttongrass ​to myrtle, sassafras, fagus and King Billy pine.

 

Sound tempting? I must correct the narrative though, taking a camera with you extends the time from 2-3 hours to "how long am I allowed to spend taking photos before my companions leave without me"

  

Thank you so much Tempt sweetheart, truly an honor! ♥♥♥♥

This one popped up together with leaves and grass, wonderful color 💞 It's even edible, but you need quite a few to get a mouthful 😊

One of four Triton and Naiad fountains on Maria-Theresien-Platz in Vienna

While out shooting I noticed a crop duster operating in the field next to me but didn't think much about it until the noise grew louder and I turned to see this. Immediately the famous crop duster scene in North By Northwest came to mind. I was tempted to run and make my escape but I'm no Cary Grant so I decided to take the photo instead.

 

As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

Heavy vehicle coachmen must lead the horses by the reins or send an adult companion ahead to warn pedestrians!

A very popular photo motif in Vienna's 1st district that has been photographed thousands of times. Here is my version, I was tempted by the light.
