200mm on full frame is not always enough to come really close
Thanks to modern software a duplication of virtual focal length is possible if the original footage is of good and clean quality (RAW image is a must here)

As a winter destination for many moneyed snowbirds, Naples, Florida, is a great place to see lots of luxury sports cars such as this red Ferrari. Not surprisingly, the Old Naples district features an abundance of high-end shops, galleries, restaurants and cafes.

We see homeless camps in the cities but do you ever see one by the river or in an out of the way place?? This was created in MidJourney and upscaled with Artificial Intelligent Enhance by Mediachance then finished in Photoshop...
These two young ladies were filming themselves outside the Neues Museum in Berlin. I didn't want to spoil their moment so I took a quick shot and moved on. Hence the focus and sharpness is not great.
"Constantin Brâncuși (February 19, 1876 – March 16, 1957) was a Romanian sculptor, painter, and photographer who made his career in France. Considered one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century and a pioneer of modernism, Brâncuși is called the patriarch of modern sculpture. As a child, he displayed an aptitude for carving wooden farm tools. Formal studies took him first to Bucharest, then to Munich, then to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1905 to 1907. His art emphasizes clean geometrical lines that balance forms inherent in his materials with the symbolic allusions of representational art. Brâncuși's practice drew from Romanian folk art, and sought a great deal of inspiration in non-European cultures as a source of primitive exoticism, as did Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, André Derain, and others."

"Twelve Responses to Tragedy, or the Yalta Memorial, is a memorial located in the Yalta Memorial Garden on Cromwell Road in South Kensington in west London. The memorial commemorates people displaced as a result of the Yalta Conference at the conclusion of the Second World War. Created by the British sculptor Angela Conner, the work consists of twelve bronze busts atop a stone base."
Those who live in this upscale neighborhood on the slopes of Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs enjoy spectacular surroundings. And they know that they are well protected by numerous military bases within spiting distance.
They also know that the mountain they live on is one of the most coveted military targets in the world, should war occur, because this lump of granite was hollowed out to contain NORAD, the North American AeroSpace Defense Command, and now houses the “Cheyenne Mountain Complex”, which contains fifteen steel buildings resting inside on huge springs, housing apartments, a nuclear shelter, the NORAD/USSPACECOM Combined Command Center, Combined Intelligence Watch Center, and much, much more. It is one of the world's most secure facilities, built to survive a 30-megaton nuclear blast, and it is fully EMP protected.
Unfortunately, I doubt that its neighbors on the outside will be invited to join them inside should war break out… but who knows… maybe as a gesture of neighborly kindness… ?

Rodeo Drive Capri in the morning is quiet and lonely except for this sleepy photographer. I love this time of day. Morning is the best time of day even better than evening because I have everything to myself. I have the light and the color and my tripod and I own it all.
When brownstone meets modern design. Surprisingly cozy and elegant :)

Cogels Osylei, Zurenborg
Antwerp, Belgium
04-19-26
When I got off the train at Zurenborg, one of many places I'd "saved" in Google Maps for exploring and photography, I didn't know what to expect. Whatever it was, it wasn't what I encountered.
I had seen a lot of magnificent medieval housing and buildings up to then. It was the fifth day and second city of my trip. I didn't know Cogels Osylei was the name of a street. In Europe there are districts, areas, all kinds of things that are given Google Maps representation. I remember thinking that I knew I was looking for some interesting houses, and I passed a couple of streets on the path away from the train station. I kept my eyes glued to my little blue dot on my phone screen was going to the dropped pin and finally I came upon the entrance to...this!
The whole street is filled with wonder and amazement! Houses are intricately designed but not altogether ostentatious (no, not at all). When were these built? I wondered. Who lives here? The amazing places were along both sides of a pretty narrow street, so a bit difficult to get photos showcasing the fronts of both sides in a single image. I took lots of images, while walking down the street. It goes to a circle, and another street crosses it there. The whole area of Zurenborg is one architectural dreamscape.
If I lived in Belgium, it would be here. That is, if I could afford it.
Turns out this was a "planned" community in Antwerp back in the late 19th Century. There were industrial, commercial and residential zones. This area was zoned for the well-to-do. The block of homes in my photo are part of one group, built at the same time, all designed by architect Joseph Bascourt. Blocks were laid out and homes constructed according to themes. I was simply flabbergasted and knew there was no way I could ever present what I was actually seeing in any photographs.
The architectural style is Art Nouveau, which borrowed from earlier styles and embellished them. Some of the spires and rotundas reminded me of Russia.
During the 1960s the area fell into disrepair. Folks moved to other neighborhoods, and the upkeep of these large buildings was quite expensive. There were plans, thankfully not put into effect, to bulldoze the whole area and turn it into a shopping district. Cooler heads prevailed. Now the area is a major tourist draw, and artists and entrepreneurs live here. A lot of the homes have historic status.
It's 'stumbling' upon places like this, which wasn't near the heart of Antwerp, where I only stayed two days which really get my heart pumping! I had to take a few trains and trams to get here, but it sure was worth it!!!!
