Wishing you a peaceful and happy Sunday of 2nd Advent.

Nachdenkliches aus dem Gedichtzyklus "Die 13 Monate"
von Erich Kästner.
Ich liebe diesen kleinen Gedichteband,in dem Kästner die Schönheit, aber auch die melancholischen Seiten der jeweiligen Jahreszeit beschreibt.
Eines seiner romantischsten und idyllischsten Werke.
Ich wünsche Euch einen friedvollen 2. Advent.
________________
Der Dezember
Das Jahr ward alt. Hat dünnes Haar.
Ist gar nicht sehr gesund.
Kennt seinen letzten Tag, das Jahr.
Kennt gar die letzte Stund.
Ist viel geschehn. Ward viel versäumt.
Ruht beides unterm Schnee.
Weiß liegt die Welt, wie hingeträumt.
Und Wehmut tut halt weh.
Noch wächst der Mond. Noch schmilzt er hin.
Nichts bleibt. Und nichts vergeht.
Ist alles Wahn. Hat alles Sinn.
Nützt nichts, dass man's versteht.
Und wieder stapft der Nikolaus
durch jeden Kindertraum.
Und wieder blüht in jedem Haus
der goldengrüne Baum.
Warst auch ein Kind. Hast selbst gefühlt,
wie hold Christbäume blühn.
Hast nun den Weihnachtsmann gespielt
und glaubst nicht mehr an ihn.
Bald trifft das Jahr der zwölfte Schlag.
Dann dröhnt das Erz und spricht:
"Das Jahr kennt seinen letzten Tag,
und du kennst deinen nicht."
(Erich Kästner)
Using the freshest seafood from the loch of the same name (the longest sea loch in Scotland), Loch Fyne restaurants serve a variety of shellfish and smoked fish - all of which are complimented by an extensive wine list. Non-seafood dishes are also available
I can recommend Loch Fyne Kipper's for me they are the best you will have.

I used to work with painting on glass, china, paper... I meant a creative job was always important to me.
In this new phase I feel the necessity of find some details to add to my photos. I'm discovering how amused is work with Photoshop, despite of doing only some things with it until now. So, sorry for the montages with questionable taste.

For the Macro Mondays theme 'Love', I used a heart-shaped memo clip. Always nice to put in sweet messages ;-))
While I was taking pictures, one of my cats jumped on the table and knocked over this memo clip. And that gave this result! The reflection and light in it is caused by sunlight and the silvery paper, I used.
Happy Macro Monday and also Happy Valentines Day everyone !
A single remnant from a box of mini crackers provided the perfect item for the single use challenge.
Overshadowed by her marginally higher neighbour, Bidean Nam Bian, to which she is connected by means of a col just a few meters too high to give her Munro status, Stob Coire nan Lochan is most often just used as a stopping point with a nice view for Munro baggers trying to bag Bidean and Sgreamhach in a wee round.
Too bad, in my opinion, as this mountain, still one of the tallest in Argyll, offers lots of interesting climbing on it's north face, and short walk-in times from the main road. The crags start at around 830-850 meters, and go right up to the pyramid-shaped summit.
Rock around here is mainly rhyolithic/andesite lava, with a granite core because this used to be the centre of the Glen Coe caldera. Because the centre of this ancient supervolcano (think Yellowstone) lies right around the Three Sisters, anyone interested in geology as well as climbing is going to have the time of their life here. The summit of Stob Coire nan Lochan consists almost entirely out of rare Andesite pillars, and the bottom of the coire itself cuts into the granite of the old magmachamber.

I always feel compelled to rescue on or two of these when the opportunity arises….Bettie than plastic perhaps, but still mad!
using a standard 35mm lens with a couple of macro rings, depth of field became razor thin as I had to get up close and personal
it's funny, I used to get excited to find spotted towhees. Now that I've learned their calls and habitats, I see them all the time. The thing that makes the shot special is getting them when they're not buried in undergrowth or bushes. This shot was at Commonwealth Lake.
INVISIBLE STRINGS. .
Green was the color of the grass where I used to read at Centennial Park
I used to think I would meet somebody there
Teal was the color of your shirt when you were 16 at the yogurt shop
You used to work at to make a little money
Time
Curious time
Gave me no compasses
Gave me no signs
Were there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
Bad was the blood of the song in the cab on your first trip to LA
You ate at my favorite spot for dinner
Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip getting lunch down by the Lakes
She said I looked like an American singer
Time
Mystical time
Cutting me open, then healing me fine
Were there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
A string that pulled me
Out of all the wrong arms right into that dive bar
Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire
Chains around my demons
Wool to brave the seasons
One single thread of gold tied me to you
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart
Now I send their babies presents
Gold was the color of the leaves when I showed you around Centennial Park
Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
Time
Wondrous time
Gave me the blues and then purple pink skies
And it's cool
Baby with me
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?

At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot), which is a royal castle built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence, but it was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859 (which spared only the chapel and audience chamber). The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.
So yes, this is a 19th century vision of how a Renaissance ceiling should look like.

You come walking 'round here
Acting like we're something
Then you up and disappear
And make it real clear
That we're nothing
I've been used
Damaged by you
Oh, I've been used, now I'm crying
By you, now I'm dying
'Cause I've been used
Guess I knew
'Cause that's what you do
Well, if love was just a crime
You would never do the time
Now, would ya
Could you love somebody else
The way you love yourself
If it suits ya
I've been used
Damaged by you
Oh, I've been used, now I'm crying
By you, now I'm dying
'Cause I've been used
Guess I knew
'Cause that's what you do
Well, I gave you what you asked
You gave…

"We are going to become gods, period. If you don't like it, get off. You don't have to contribute, you don't have to participate. But if you are going to interfere with me becoming a god, you're going to have trouble, there'll be warfare."

We used today to dive into the history of the Danish West Coast visiting the Tirpitz Museum in Blavand as well as the open air museum of Nymindegab. I can highly recommend both locations for people who love to learn more about the life of our ancestors in previous centuries. Nymindegab, Jylland, Denmark

This 18th century fort is located on the Manoel island. That is not what has given the fort its name, though - it is the other way around. Before the building of the fort, the island was known as l'Isola del Vescovo (in Italian, or il-Gżira tal-Isqof in Maltese - that is, the Bishop's island). Or just L'Isolotto (the Little Island).
The fort was built 1723-1733, in limestone, by the Order of St John, when António Manoel de Vilhena was Grand Master of the order (guess where the fort got its name from, then). It was actually in use up until 1964 - and was severely damaged by bombings during the Second World War. During the period 1970-2008 the fort was used by the Royal Malta Yacht Club. 2001-2009 saw the first phase of a renovation program for the fort, and the second one was begun in 2012.

Una foto che per me ha un valore speciale se non fosse altro per quei piedini che raccontano giá molto da soli :)
Immaginatevi una sala abbastanza grande illuminata da alcune finestre, ma la maggior parte dei monaci si trovano in una condizione di luce difficile. Sono seduti su piccole panche messe a ferro di cavallo.
Siamo nel tardo pomeriggio e i bambini si trovano tutti insieme, dopo le lezioni, per cantare le preghiere ad ALTA voce. Sono circa una trentina in un'etá compresa fra i 4 (!!!) e i 10-12 anni.
Ci sediamo in mezzo a loro per quasi un'ora e gli insegnanti ci offrono anche del thé e dei dolci tibetani.
Veniamo avvolti da una cantilena potente e in qualche maniera ipnotizzante creata dalle loro voci cariche di un'energia incredibile con la quale continuano imperterriti a recitare le preghiere per tutto il tempo della nostra permanenza.
Ho fatto molti scatti in questa occasione e col tempo ve li mosteró :)

For someone, orange groves - a common occurrence.
But for me it is something special.
In my country, oranges are not grow, and these trees are just amazing for me
Feel, like in a fairytale, and that's amazing
Kurzeme Fortress Museum is a large private collection dedicated to the events of World War II in Kurzeme. The museum is located in the village of Zante, Kandava municipality, which is part of the military history of the Kurzeme Fortress. Exhibit includes items of military history, military machines, restored trenches and bunkers.
The Kurzeme Fortress and Courland Pocket – these are the terms that are most commonly used to describe battles between the German and Red Army in Kurzeme from 1944 to 1945. These engagements or “Grand Battles of Kurzeme” were notable, because the German Army, which was located in a partially isolated territory, managed to withstand multiple large-scale attacks by the Red Army at a time when Berlin had fallen to the Allied Army and Germany had already surrendered. Units of the Latvian Legion were one of the best combat units in Kurzeme. Latvian Legionnaires believed that their fight would help thousands of Latvians to escape the Red Army's crimes against civilians. Even long after the war had ended the land of Kurzeme was riddled with reminders of the battles fought – military cemeteries, destroyed equipment, armaments and trenches.
