This is Skaga stave church. It is the third stave church at this place - and it dates to 2001.
The original, dated to the 12th century, was built close to an old sacred well from (possibly) pagan times. There are a lot of legends surrounding this little church, more than perhaps trustworthy history, including how the founder of the church (a woman named Skaga) was saved as an infant by a dog when her father wanted her dead and placed her in the woods, and that the church fell out of use after the Black Death and the area was abandoned - that is quite possible, but the legend continues that the church was re-discovered 'several hundred years later'. I wonder how much you would find of a abandoned wooden building several centuries later... Be that as it may, the church stood there until 1826 when it was pulled down. A copy of the medieval church was built in 1957–58 and inaugurated in 1960. But the church burnt down in 2000. Just a year later a third incarnation of the church, the one still present, was opened to the public. (Well, it is open if you come at the right time - when we passed by the place was closed.)

Possibly my favourite composition at Ringing Roger with the foreground rock creating an 'x'. I've stood here many times perfecting the composition. It felt quite precarious yesterday with the frozen rocks.
These are the best conditions I've had. Often, patchy doesn't work, creating too much contrast. But the hard frost decreased the contrast on the rocks.
I couldn't fit the foreground rock into one frame for the previous upload as I only had 24mm equivalent lens. This is good though as going wider reduces the impact of Loose Hill and the Great Ridge.

Thanks for looking at the wild daisies.
I've recently watched an interview with Salvador Dali where he was stating that all his artwork are based on his dreams coming to him 10 minutes before he was fully asleep.
Dali learned over time to take control of his lucid dream state and with that, he mastered accessing his subconscious and used what he had found in his act of creating. Of course, the way he materialized what he found is truly amazing as well, in any ways, all his artwork are now fascinating manifestations of one man's creative mind, ideas and experiences, for all of us to see and wonder about.
This all made me think, this 10 minutes time period of lucid dream state, mystical space before we all are fully gone somewhere else; I cannot help noticing a parallel notion happening in the way nature behaves just before it awakes or falls asleep; the most unexpected, wonderous and profound events, colours, particles, sensations are seem to manifest themselves in those couple of minutes of lucid dream states of nature, just before it all settles again.

Swarovski used to make a lovely range of beads ... and I collected a few of each design I thought might photograph well. These are among my favourites. Called 'brilliants' they create all kinds of colours when the light hits them. These are tiny, about 8mm cubes.

I have used this location for two other photographs....so I do find something about it very interesting and attractive.
Usée dans l’abandon. Une vielle porte que le temps et les assauts quotidiens du vent, de la pluie, du soleil et le manque d’entretien ont détruit. Depuis tant d’années ses gonds grinçants sont restés figés. Le temps semble avoir ici oublié la vie.
Worn in surrender. An old door that time and the daily assaults of wind, rain, sun and lack of maintenance have destroyed. For many years his squeaky hinges remained frozen. Here time seems to have forgotten life.
Used my reverse lens setup.... No Crop... you can see the vignette caused by the reversed lens and aperture I had manually set on the reversed lens.
Used lots of toys this week... This picture is a composite of 19 focus stacked images. Used my extension tubes and my rails. HMM!

Macro Monday. Single Use
Part of my morning ritual is to make tea, iced tea to be specific.
I always feel bad about using the teabag once and then into the trash it goes. Occasionally I do try to use the teabag twice but I don't get the caffeine fix nearly as quick.
I used colorful wrapping paper for folding this fiery dragon, but couldn't decide which side to show. So now you see both sides ;-))
I merged two photo's.
Paper: one piece of wrapping paper, with rainbow colors, 30x30cm.
Final size: length 12cm, height 10cm
Model: origami Fiery Dragon
Design: Kade Chan

I use 'Sunsetting' because if you look on right side of the photo, they are building a new bridge to replace this beauty. The current bridge crosses between Lansing, IA over the river to Wisconsin.
As the year goes by - the view may be destroyed and eventually the bridge. (It is known as Black Hawk Bridge )

Two in the sea - Dos en el mar
Mar Mediterraneo
La etimología de este mar procede del latín Mar Medi Terraneum, cuyo significado es "mar en el medio de las tierras". La mayoría de los habitantes de sus costas han usado una denominación derivada de la latina. En idioma griego se llama Mesogeios Thalassa con el mismo significado que el nombre latino, en árabe se llama Al-Bahr al-Mutawāsit y en turco Ak Deniz ("mar blanco", por oposición al mar Negro, pues los turcos llaman "blanco" al Sur y "negro" al Norte).Para los egipcios era "el Gran Verde".
Mediterranean Sea
The etymology of the Mediterranean Sea comes from the Latin Medi Terraneum, which means "sea in the midst of the land." Most of the inhabitants of its shores have used a name derived from Latin. Greek language is called Thalassa Mesogeios with the same meaning as the Latin name in Arabic is called al-Bahr al-Mutawāsit and Turkish Deniz Ak ( "White Sea", as opposed to the Black Sea, as the Turks call it "white" South and "black" to the North). To the Egyptians was the "Great Green."

Moonshiners
A dense, endless pine forest in 1950s rural America, far from highways and city lights. Deep in the shadows sits an old shack - grimy windows, cracked glass, a crooked flickering lantern by the door. Nearby, a moonshine still bubbles over an open pine log fire, copper pipes glowing orange, condensation dripping into mason jars on a makeshift wooden table. The handmade, decades patched setup is illegal but the only trade these men know. Two weathered old timers sit on wooden crates in the muddy clearing, smoking hand rolled cigarettes, sharing slow words and long silences. One has a thick gray beard, the other skin like old leather. They laugh quietly at memories - running moonshine on dark mountain roads, outrunning sheriffs, hiding barrels in barns - laughter tinged with tired sadness. Beside them sits a rusted, barely blue old Ford pickup: eaten bodywork, dented chrome grille, cracked headlight, rotted wooden bed rails. The bed holds rope, rusted tools, feed sacks, and mason jar crates. A shotgun hides under a plaid blanket in the cab. Dusk settles. Fireflies flicker at the tree line. Still smoke drifts through branches. Firelight casts dancing shadows. Rough, worn down, and real - survival built from calloused hands, old machines, and hard lived trust.

My beautiful roses, that--over time, despite the best of care and food and medicine and antifungals--succumbed to various diseases mostly brought on by the vicious heat and humidity they had to endure.
Sweet memories of their beauty in their prime.
I used to ride my bike along a local path throughout many years. As time went by. I gained an interest in going on walks and lost an interest in riding my bike. With that considered. Today was the first time that I have been on that old path in a long time. But instead of riding a bike. I was walking it for the first time in a long while. It felt refreshing to see all the things I've missed. And all the new plants and trees I've yet to discover.

Used by freighters hauling over the Sheep Range. They would put their draft animals in the corral overnight. This area is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Now located inside Desert National Wildlife Refuge (DNWR) and Clark County Nevada.
This boardwalk used to lead you to another walking trail at Mission Marsh Conservation area. A severe storm hit the area in 2019, heavy winds and rain knocked over trees. It destroyed part of the boardwalk. They had to decide whether to whether to remove the whole boardwalk. They decided not to replace the damaged area and blocked the boardwalk off.

Since 1824, Świnoujście has been a seaside resort with a healing sea climate. After medicinal brine springs were discovered in the town's area in 1897, they were used for spa treatments, as were the existing medicinal mud deposits. The picture shows the graduation towers at one end of the promenade, near which the air is particularly salty and beneficial for respiratory problems.
Seit 1824 ist Świnoujście ein Seebad mit heilsamem Seeklima. Nachdem 1897 im Gebiet der Stadt Heilsolequellen entdeckt wurden, nutzte man diese ebenso für Kuren wie die vorhandenen Heilschlammablagerungen. Hier im Bild sind die Gradierungstürme an einem Ende der Promenade zu sehen, in deren Nähe die Luft besonders salzhaltig und bei Atemwegsprojekten heilsam ist.

This picture was shot on a tripod with three exposures (-2..0..+2EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tonemapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. Unsharp Mask.
