I used to be angry at my friend Doug for skipping rocks in Moraine Lake on an unreal day... I'm starting to change my mind on the subject haha. September 30th of last year remains one of my most memorable days for moments captured like this.

Not belonging is a terrible feeling. It feels awkward and it hurts, as if you were wearing someone else's shoe

I used my own # 10 Sunny Evening Watercolour Texture here.

The Monarch butterflies have returned to my garden, collecting nectar from the Asclepias and Milkweed, soon I hope to see tiny eggs laid on the underside of the Milkweed leaves :)

 

Thank you for your visits, favs and comments !

I used a long exposure here to capture the movement in the water as it moves around this wonderful salt formation.

I over-dyed this wool from T. The greens are so brilliant, I almost don't want to use them. I just want to keep looking at them stacked up with their edges all whispy...

The Renaissance castle of Fontaine-Henry was built by the family d'Harcourt and it took nearly a hundred years to finish it (hence it's mainly a Renaissance building, finished in 1560, but it has some details that are in the Gothic style known as Flamboyant). There was actually a fortress built here already in the 11th century and in the beginning of the 13th century this was replaced by a castle (which might explain why it next to the current castle stands a very medieval chapel).

 

And yes, that is a very steep roof. Steep and high. When it was built it aimed to be the highest roof in France (not the highest building, mind you, the highest roof). It's a beautiful castle, but that is a little bit weird!

 

The castle is still owned by people who are direct descendants of the family who first started building this castle - though the surname has sometimes changed and the current owners carry the name d’Oilliamson - since it a few times was inherited by women. The house is still privately owned, but the interior can be visited on guided tours (no photography allowed, though).

This used to be the Jumeirah Hotel Frankfurt until this April. It was the first Jumeirah on the European continent. Obviously, not as successful as it needed to be.

 

In the back of this image the IG Farben Haus, the Deutsche Bundesbank and the Ginnheimer Spargel (TV tower) all line up in front of the slopes of the Taunus.

I used the white bow of the mighty ship as a large reflection screen to illuminate the shadows of the buidlings in the front.

For today's Macro Mondays theme of 'Single Use' HMM!!

I used to live in the house on the right when I was very young. It was haunted... that or I was having a bad reaction to the Phenobarbital I was given for my seizures.

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

The mosaics behind the altar is perhaps one of the most famous from late antiquity / early medieval there is - dating from the 5th century. It depicts Jesus in the middle in golden robes with the Torah in his hand. St Paul is to the left of him, and St Peter to the right. The twins Cosma and Damiano are standing behind them, one on each side (though it is impossible to tell who's who - they are depicted as identical twins). To the far right is St Theodore - and to the far left the founder of the church pope Felix IV, holding a model of the church. Felix is actually a reconstruction (but generally thought to be well done) since a later pope replaced him with a portrait of pope Gregory the Great(!). Felix was restored in the 17th century.

 

The church Santi Cosma e Damiano was founded in 527 by Theodore the Great when he and his daughter Amalasuntha donated two buildings to pope Felix IV - the buildings being the Temple of Romulus and the Temple of Peace, built by emperor Vespasian. These buildings are the foundation for this church. Today it is hard to see how it is possible - standing in the church you can, through a window, look down into the Romulus temple. But this is due to the in the early 17th century the floor in the church was raised with some 7 metres and a new entrance was made - and left the temple of Romulus back at (the old) ground level. The same renovation also added new side chapels and a new ceiling.

Example of use of TOPAZ AI SHARPEN

It's impossible to recover a movement blur with a sharpening filter : a sharpening filter will only add noise in this case but it will never recover details.

 

TOPAZ AI SHARPEN includes a new function called STABILIZE that is different from a simple sharpening filter. It tries to find a movement on the photo and to cancel it. That's why sometimes there are small artifacts on the opposite side of the movement, but it is really easy to deal with them with GIMP or photoshop.

 

To conclude : this tool deserves a try as it is free for 30 days.

It is very usefull for animals in movement (birds in flight, animals running ...), but it can manage movement of the photographer too.

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…

I started out with film photography many years ago. But, in spite of seeing so many awesome film images here on Flickr, I love the versatility of digital. I also love collecting old cameras.

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

Historical country house also to be opened to the public

As of 1 September, the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam will be using the historical country house, Trompenburg, as an extra location. Trompenburg, which is close to Hilversum, was built after 1677 by Admiral Cornelis Tromp (1621-1691), the son of the legendary Admiral Maarten Harpertsz Tromp. The residence, that was built to resemble a ship, will be open for use by the Rijksmuseum from 1 April to 1 October for holding lectures, small conferences and small-scale exhibitions. In addition, Trompenburg will also be opened to the public a few times each year.

 

A monument for the Tromp family

Throughout the years, Trompenburg House has been a home to different families, and has been in the care of the Government Buildings Agency as a monument since 1938. Cornelis Tromp, who was the commander-in-chief of the Dutch and Danish fleet, built Trompenburg as a monument for himself and his ancestors, his father in particular. The Tromp family's glory is the theme of the dome hall - which can be seen as the maritime answer to the Oranjezaal, the central chamber in Huis ten Bosch Palace. The dome hall contains the portraits of father and son Tromp and both their wives, portraits of the ships and the naval battles.

 

Decoration and exhibitions

Trompenburg will not be used for large exhibitions, as the country residence is too small. However, the Rijksmuseum is considering whether the house could be decorated with art works on a limited scale. Where possible, any art work that is selected will be in keeping with the themes of life on a 17th Century country estate and the maritime history of the period of 1630 and 1690.

 

Due to the limited capacity of Trompenburg House, the exhibitions as well as the lectures and conferences will all be small-scale. The house will be opened to the public once a month during the April-October season (six times in total). A steward will reside at Trompenburg House.

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.
