What I love about panoramas is that they provide a different perspective of what we see !
And this is what I hate about them, sometimes.
But here the way these specific straight wood lathes become curved is what I enjoy most in that picture, in that in gives presence and originality to the picture.
Have a nice day and week-end everyone !
I find getting an interesting image from a glass ball can be rewarding but often frustrating. I often find my finger prints and/or dust magnified on the surfaces or else after careful placement, the ball starts to roll away knocking down my background cards and reflectors. In this image I managed to avoid finger prints but happily for me, the imperfections of the silver card have added colourful "unreal" patterns.
A mobile phone torch produced the light source and A4 silver cards produced the reflections.

It was during a hike on the customs path at Cap Fréhel that I was struck by this explosion of colors. The heather blooms were at their peak, transforming the coastal moors into a purple carpet undulating in the sea breeze. I was specifically looking for this time of year when Breton nature reveals this particular palette.
In composing this panoramic image, I wanted to create a dialogue between three elements: the heather in the foreground, whose vibrant hues seem almost unreal; the blue immensity of the sea stretching in the middle; and the iconic Fort la Latte outlined in the distance, a discrete testimony to human history in this landscape dominated by natural forces.
The light was perfect that day, with clouds filtering the sun intermittently, creating variations of luminosity on the water and cliffs. I deliberately framed wide to capture the magnitude of this landscape and that sensation of space that overwhelms you when facing the sea from these vertiginous heights.
What particularly touches me about this place is the perfect harmony between the harshness of the elements - the steep cliffs, the constant marine winds - and the delicacy of these small flowers that manage to transform the entire landscape through their collective presence. It's this wild and flowering Brittany, between land and sea, that I wanted to immortalize.
This is real colours without corrections.
It's our beautiful world ! It's crazy fantastic !
I love it all ...

Der Titicacasee ist ein Natur-Highlight und zählt zu den Höhepunkten einer Peru-Reise. Das Wasser, in dem sich die tiefhängenden Wolken spiegeln, hat wie der Himmel ein beinahe unwirkliches Blau.
Der Titicacasee liegt im südlichen Andenhochland (Altiplano) Perus und West-Boliviens auf einer Höhe von 3812 Metern und ist einer der höchstgelegenen, schiffbaren Seen der Welt. Mit einer Fläche von 8372 Quadratkilometern ist der Titicacasee etwa 16-mal so groß wie der Bodensee und halb so groß wie das deutsche Bundesland Thüringen. Die durchschnittliche Tiefe des Sees beträgt 107, maximal 281 Meter, die Wassertemperatur zwischen 8 und 12 Grad Celsius.
Der Name Titicaca, der sich von den beiden Aymara-Wörtern "Titi" (=Puma) und "Caca" (=Fels) herleitet, bedeutet so viel wie "Pumafelsen". Der Titicacasee gilt als Geburtsort der Inka-Kultur und ist für die hier lebenden Menschen heilig.

Lake Titicaca is a natural highlight and one of the highlights of a trip to Peru. The water, which reflects the low-hanging clouds, is an almost unreal blue, just like the sky.
Lake Titicaca is located in the southern Andean highlands (Altiplano) of Peru and western Bolivia at an altitude of 3812 meters and is one of the highest navigable lakes in the world. With an area of 8372 square kilometers, Lake Titicaca is about 16 times the size of Lake Constance and half the size of the German state of Thuringia. The average depth of the lake is 107, maximum 281 meters, the water temperature between 8 and 12 degrees Celsius.
The name Titicaca, which is derived from the two Aymara words “Titi” (=puma) and “Caca” (=rock), means something like “puma rock”. Lake Titicaca is considered the birthplace of the Inca culture and is sacred to the people who live here.
Another photo from Guangzhou, China. This city looks just unreal for the guy from Europe.
Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends.
Here an unusual view of St Leopold's Church in Vienna's 14th District, with the Royal Imperial Palace of Schönbrunn in the background. On the rise behind the palace you can see a so-called "folly" known as the Gloriette.
If you look further on in my stream, you'll find pictures of the real Church of St Leopold and of Schönbrunn - here we are looking at a miniature railway layout (H0 scale) based on the City of Vienna and on display at Vienna's funfair park, the Prater. It's very beautifully done, with all the main stations (the trains all run on schedule!) and Vienna's most prominent buildings. However some artistic license has been taken as regards to the local topography, and the view we see here does not exist in reality, convincing though it is.

According to my dictionary the Uk definition - imaginary or illusory, is quite different to theNorth American - incredible, amazing.
I went with the UK version
Was watching this mothership like storm cell pass over.
I drove through the edge of it, before arriving at my destination.
“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on

"Wounded Landscape | New Lakeland" is a joint project with my wife Gundula Walz, in which we discover and interpret the exciting landscape transformation in the Lusatian area in the south of Brandenburg, Germany. In this area disused lignite open-cast mines are beeing flooded to make the largest artificial lakeland in Europe. Our first visit to Lusatia was now already six years ago. This week we visited the area again. This image was taken at the completely flooded Lake Sedlitz. No people around, absolute silence in a wide and empty artificial landscape. There was no wind. The lake was like a mirror under very bright diffuse light. The mood was totally unreal
This weeks theme for the FFF+ Snap Happy group of 'unreal flowers' was chosen by Jesse.
You never know what you will find when out and about in St.Kilda. I was out on my daily walk late last week and this discarded mirror instantly caught my eye.
It was on a vibrant green board, the size of a door, on the nature strip in front of an apartment block.
It was huge and so beautiful, too beautiful, despite some of its missing pieces, to be discarded like this. If I had a place for it I might have just come back and got it, I could just see that green replaced with vibrant red!
I loved all of it's flower motifs and so this too, had to feature in this weeks challenge.
I am away at the moment and will catch up on all your photos in the next day.
It would be appreciated if anyone commenting could also respect the group rules.
