Ein wunderschöner Steg im Olchinger See zur Blauen Stunde, kurz nach dem die Sonne untergegangen ist. Es gab dramatische Wolken und tolle Spiegelungen, wie auch schöne Farben.
A wonderful jetty at the lake Olchinger See at blue hour, after sunset. There have been dramatic clouds and great reflections as well as wonderful colors.
Taken along Dickson Brook, which is located within Dickson Falls in Fundy National Park, in New Brunswick, Canada.
This monochrome image shows another shot from Tuscany. It was a moment in Pienza, when this guy went through the arch between the Palazzo Piccolomini and the old church of San Francesco.
Dieses monochrome Bild zeigt einen Moment in der Gasse zwischen dem Palazzo Piccolomini und der Kirche San Francesco in Pienza. Ich nutzte die Gelegenheit, als dieser Mann durch den Torbogen ging.

A capture taken back in 2020 on a rare photo outing while the pandemic was in full swing. The latter is also the reason why the Olympic Stadium (Olympiastadion) in Berlin had been almost completely empty on that sunny September day. Not that it is ever crowded on a quiet day without any events (apart from sports events like football, or the recent Special Olympics World Games this June, the Olympiastadion also is a popular venue for concerts), but on regular visitor days (in normal times) there are always larger visitor groups or school classes around so there also is a constant level of sound from the voices. But on that day it had been completely quiet – until, just when we were about to wrap it up and leave, we noticed a fairly big group of children and teenagers gathering among a few rows of seats. And after a while, they started to sing – it was an outdoor choir rehearsal ;) Since I have already shared this story with you some time ago, please check the photo in the first comment where you can see the choir; there's also more info about that rehearsal in the description of that photo.
Unlike the (very colourful) photo in the first comment, this version looks best in monochrome. I can only guess that it's the different POV I had used for this image (in which the stadium's roof almost reminds me of an opened oyster shell or an UFO) – not centered but slightly from the side – but it simply didn't work that well in colour, it even looked a little random. However, I still couldn't resist to re-add a little bit of colour to bring back some of the beautiful sunshine we*d had on that day ;) So one might call this a "colorized monochrome" ;)
Wishing you a happy Wednesday (aka Hump Day) and a sunny rest of the week!

Ein weiteres Haus auf dem Ammersee zur blauen Stunde.
Another House at the lake Ammersee at Blue Hour.
Taken near the beginning of the MacIntosh Brook trail, which is located in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, in Nova Scotia, Canada.
An awesome day was had yesterday! I'm so glad we had a little spring snow come our way the day before.
Taken at Wentworth Valley Falls, which is located in Wentworth Valley, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The beautiful east window at Ripon Cathedral, a spectacular gothic Grade I listed building in the North Yorkshire city of Ripon, England. The cathedral was built between the 13th and 16th centuries, but is the fourth building to have existed on this site. Originally founded as a monastery by Scottish monks in the 660s, it was refounded as a Benedictine monastery by St Wilfrid in 672 when the first stone church was built.
The east window was built as part of a reconstruction of the choir between 1286 and 1330. It contains medieval tracery but much of the original stained glass was destroyed during the civil war. The window is now decorated with Victorian stained glass.

Do you remember the Mendelian laws of inheritance? We've learned them in school on the basis of how the eye colours of fruit flies (the notorious Drosophila Melanogaster) are inherited to further generations according to dominant or recessive characteristics, although Gregor Mendel himself conducted his groundbreaking genetic experiments with pea plants. Unfortunately, the significance of Mendel's laws was never truly understood or acknowledged in his lifetime (1822 – 1884). His studies, however, were rediscovered three decades later, at the turn of the 20th century, and, following their rediscovery, American biologist Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866 – 1945) began to experiment with Drosophila in his "Fly Room" at Columbia University. It was Morgan who discovered that genes are carried on chromosomes; he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1933. Further Fly experiments (with a less successful outcome) were conducted by a certain Dr. Seth Brundle in 1986 (aka "The Fly"). So where exactly does my image come in here, you may have already asked yourself (if you haven't stopped reading my lengthy introduction long before – which I could totally understand). Well, during one of those numerous teaching experiments with fruit flies, which numerous generations of students have conducted ever since modern genetics became part of school curriculums, something must have gone very wrong. And who knows, maybe Dr. Seth "Brundlefly" Brundle himself had led one of those biology experiments? Experiments in which some dinosaur genes were mixed with those of an innocent fruit fly... Which resulted in the creation the biggest Drosophila the world has ever seen – the Olympic Brachosophila Megalogaster? Nonsense, of course, and you know it ;-) But doesn't this kaleidoscoped image of the Olympic stadium's interior (the roof, mostly, taken at a dutch angle) look just like an ultra close-up of a (fruit) fly's face? Not one that you'd like to see buzzing around your fruit bowl, that's for sure, but let's say that the other "third party genes" that were used in this crazy experiment came from a puppy. So this would be the friendliest, cuddliest giant dinosaur puppy fruit fly you'll ever come across :) OK, I'd rather stop before you start to believe that I was a part of those experiments as well ;-)
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and take care, dear Flickr friends!
Drosophila Megalogaster – Schau mir in die Augen, Kleines :)
Ihr erinnert Euch doch bestimmt noch alle an die Mendelsche Vererbungslehre und die berühmte Drosophila Melanogaster mit ihren dominanten bzw. rezessiven Genen, die über die Vererbung der jeweiligen Augenfarbe entscheiden. Was wäre, wenn jemand bei einem der unzähligen Biologie-Experimente, die Generationen von Schülern mit Fruchtfliegen durchgeführt haben, nicht nur Fruchtfliegen(-Gene) gekreuzt, sondern evtl. noch ein paar Dinosaurier-Gene dazwischen gestreut hätte? Das Ergebnis könnte die größte Fruchtfliege sein, die die Welt je gesehen hat, die unglaubliche "Olympische Brachosophila Megalogaster" mit Augen so groß wie zwei Stadiondächer ;-) Nun ja, Ihr habt es schon erraten, dies ist eine kleine Spielerei mit einem Foto vom Olympiastadion für den Sliders Sunday. Ich hatte hier einfach aus Spaß mal eine Aufnahme mit schräger Perspektive gemacht und dabei überwiegend das offene Dach mit ins Bild genommen. Nachdem ich in Photoshop das Bild kopiert, gespiegelt und neu zusammengesetzt hatte, schaute mich plötzlich eine riesige (Frucht-)Fliege an ;-) Keine, die man gerne daheim um den Früchteteller herumschwirren sehen möchte, aber ich kann Euch beruhigen: Bei dem manipulierten Experiment kamen als "Drittanbieter-Gene" nicht nur die eines Dinosauriers hinzu, sondern auch die eines kuscheligen Welpen. Diese Fliege ist also gaaaanz lieb und verschmust und will bloß spielen ;-)
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, bleibt gesund und passt auf Euch auf!

Word to the wise: you need a beekeepers suit to keep the mosquitoes off of you in this part of the trail.

This is a very similar shot to the previous "Driftwood" photo (which was invited to Explore), only with a different, more interesting piece of driftwood. I love the detail of the tangled, gnarly wood on this shot. In all honesty, I actually meant to post this one, not the other one!
This is a spherical view of the Quire at York Minster, England, the second-largest Gothic cathedral of Northern Europe.
Ein Avdat (Hebrew: עין עבדת) or Ein Ovdat is a canyon in the Negev Desert of Israel, south of Kibbutz Sde Boker. Archaeological evidence shows that Ein Avdat was inhabited by Nabateans and Catholic monks. Numerous springs at the southern opening of the canyon empty into deep pools in series of waterfalls. The water emerges from the rock layers with salt-loving plants like Poplar trees and Atriplexes growing nearby.
