Hi guys and gals!
I'm super excited to let you all know that today, after 2 months of tweaking and testing, I've finally released my Presets package for Lightroom!
I invite you all to download and try it out, and I hope that it'll save you plenty of time during your post processing journey.
In this image I used the Shadow Dancer Lightroom Preset to create the colours that you see there. I couldn't think of a more suitable image to formally release with this one other than a nifty hot air balloon floating into the sky.
Anyway let us know how you go with the use of those presets and as always your valuable feedback is important to me.
Peace to you all, stay hip and stay awesome!

A valuable nectar source for butterflies and bees as this species of scabious has a very long flowering period from July to September. Can be known by many other names such as Lady's Pincushion, Blue Bonnets, Snake Flower, Blackamoors Beauty, Pins-and-Needles etc. This plant was also popular with the old herbalists and used as a herb to treat mange, itches, and scabies.

The Church of Holy Virgin Mary is the oldest and most valuable architectural monument in Inowrocław. Built of granite blocks, closed from the east with a semicircular apse and from the west with two stone and brick towers. Its construction probably began before 1186, during the reign of Duke Leszek (1173–1186). The brick towers were probably completed at the beginning of the 13th century. The church was put into worship before October 6, 1233, when the diocesan synod for the clergy of Kujawy took place.
The church erected on the local hill looks beautiful, but it is a pity that it is inaccessible for passing tourists. It is impossible to see its interior even through the lattice, as is used in other churches.

Kościół p. w. Imienia NMP jest najstarszym i najcenniejszym zabytkiem architektury w Inowrocławiu. Zbudowany z granitowych ciosów, od wschodu zamknięty półkolistą absydą a od zachodu kamienno – ceglanymi dwiema wieżami. Prawdopodobnie jego budowę rozpoczęto przed rokiem 1186, za panowania księcia Leszka (1173–1186). Ceglane wieże ukończono zapewne na początku XIII wieku. Kościół oddano na potrzeby kultu przed 6 października 1233 rokiem, kiedy to odbył się synod diecezjalny dla duchowieństwa kujawskiego.
Kościół wzniesiony na lokalnym wzgórzu pięknie się prezentuje, ale wielka szkoda że dla przejezdnego turysty jest on niedostępny. Nie można zobaczyć jego wnętrza nawet przez kratę, jak to jest stosowane w innych kościołach.

The Church of Holy Trinity and Blessed Virgin Mary in Strzelno is a three-nave basilica. The construction of the church from granite cubes began in the 12th century and was not completed until the mid-13th century. It was rebuilt in the baroque style. It is part of a larger complex of former Norbertine convent.
The complex also includes the church of St. Prokop in the form of a rotunda (on the left), monastery buildings where a museum was arranged and the court of provosts, which is now a rectory.
The Romanesque columns, discovered only in 1946, are among the most valuable and famous monuments in the basilica. The columns covered with a figural relief are unique Romanesque monuments. Throughout Europe, apart from the Strzelin columns, only in Spain in Santiago de Compostela and in Venice (in the Cathedral of St. Mark) have been preserved. These columns are made of sandstone, most probably brought from Brzeźno near Konin. They date back to the second half of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th century.

Kościół Świętej Trójcy i Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Strzelnie jest trójnawową bazyliką. Budowę kościoła z granitowych kostek rozpoczęto w XII wieku i ukończono dopiero w połowie XIII wieku. Był przebudowywany w stylu barokowym. Wchodzi on w skład większego kompleksu dawnego klasztornego Norbertanek.
W skład tego kompleksu wchodzi również kościół pw. św. Prokopa w formie rotundy (po lewej stronie), zabudowania klasztorne w których urządzono muzeum oraz dwór prepozytów który obecnie jest plebanią.
Do najcenniejszych i najbardziej znanych zabytków znajdujących się w bazylice należą romańskie kolumny, odkryte dopiero w 1946 roku. Kolumny pokryte płaskorzeźbą figuralną należą do unikatowych zabytków romańskich. W całej Europie, oprócz kolumn strzelińskich, zachowały się rzeźbione kolumny tylko w Hiszpanii w Santiago de Compostela oraz w Wenecji (w katedrze św. Marka). Kolumny te są wykonane z piaskowca przywiezionego najprawdopodobniej z Brzeźna koło Konina . Datowane są one na 2. połowę wieku XII i początek XIII.

..as a child, life seemed valuable and worth striving for, the future promised meaning.
Nostalgia for the past now, is it an attempt to explain to yourself what was valuable? This is the satisfaction of the need for the Meaning of Existence ..just thinking out loud..

NEPAL, Royal Chitwan-Nationalpark
Rhinoceros: since 1973 the population has recovered well and increased to 544 animals around the turn of the century. To ensure the survival of the endangered species in case of epidemics animals are translocated annually from Chitwan to the Bardia National Park and the Sukla Phanta Wildlife Reserve since 1986. However, the population has repeatedly been jeopardized by poaching: in 2002 alone, poachers killed 37 individuals in order to saw off and sell their valuable horns.[6] Chitwan has the largest population of Indian rhinoceros in Nepal, estimated at 605 individuals out of 645 in total in the country.
Der Park ist bekannt für die Population des Panzernashorns, die bis zur Jahrtausendwende auf 544 Tiere und bis zum Frühjahr 2015 auf 645 Nashörner[6] angewachsen war. Seit 1986 werden alljährlich Tiere von Chitwan in den Bardia-Nationalpark und in das Suklaphanta-Wildreservat übersiedelt. Die Population war aber immer wieder durch Wilderei stark gefährdet: allein im Jahre 2002 haben Wilderer 37 Tiere grausam getötet, um das kostbare Horn absägen und verkaufen zu können.[1] Die letzte Zählung im Jahr 2011 ergab insgesamt 503 Nashörner im Park, im selben Zeitraum starben zwei Tiere durch Wilderer. Bei der Zählung im Frühjahr 2015 wurden 645 Tiere in Nepal gefunden[6], davon 605 im Chitwan-Nationalpark[8], während gleichzeitig in den letzten drei Jahren kein Tier durch Wilderer ums Leben kam.
Antechinus Stuartii - or Brown Marsupial Mouse, or Pouched Mouse, or Antechinus Shrew. This is *NOT* a rodent but a marsupial like a Kangaroo, Wallaby, Koala etc and thus the young are carried in a pouch. Therefore, it is definitely not considered a pest but a valuable Australian animal. A very uncommon siting and only found in a narrow strip on the east coast of NSW.
I am very happy to get a photo of this very elusive cute little guy.
is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant :-)

Compiled by C.H.C.A. van Sypesteyn (1857 - 1937), a valuable art collection forms the foundation of the Castle-Museum Sypesteyn in Loosdrecht. In addition to the collection of portraits, furniture, silver and glass objects, clocks and sculptures, there is also a beautiful collection of porcelain. The Loosdrecht porcelain is particularly worth seeing.
The castle gardens
A garden with hedges, moats and decorative wrought-iron gates characterize Sypesteyn Castle. Via paths and bridges, you can walk around the maze and cross the canal and take a leisurely stroll through the orchards, the park and the castle garden. You will discover all sorts of indigenous and exotic trees during your stroll.
Tribute to Van Sypesteyn
The lord of the castle did not build it merely as a place to house his art collection. As the last descendant of the Van Sypesteyn line, he wanted to build the castle to pay tribute to his family. The stunning garden and park were built in the 17th-century style. Surrounded by the Loosdrecht lakes and the Vecht River, the area around the castle is also magnificent.
For further information, visit the website of Castle- Museum Sypesteyn.

Murau
Gothic architecture
The parish of Murau is characterized by its five historically valuable churches, as well as by its various forms of worship.
The Murau parish church is one of the earliest and most interesting Gothic sacred buildings in Styria. It goes back to the founding of Otto II von Liechtenstein, the then lord of Murau. Construction began in 1284 above the town, halfway up the south slope of the Schlossberg.
In 1296 the consecration in honor of St. Matthew, the final completion of the building, however, dragged on for a few more years. In 1311, the donor's will reports that the church building, a cruciform basilica with a high choir and a heavy, stone crossing tower, was not quite finished at that time. Late Gothic additions and extensions from the first half of the 17th century. - when after the extinction of the House of Liechtenstein-Murau, the rule passed to the house of the later princes Schwarzenberg - are witnesses of building changes and additions, which, however, in no way changed the basic character of the early Gothic building.

Elbe Philharmonic Hall / Elbphilharmonie
"still" in Hamburg, Germany
In 2007, the construction of this concert hall was scheduled to be finished by 2010 with an estimated cost of €241 million ...
Up to now, construction work is scheduled to end in October 2016 at a cost of €789 million, with an announced opening date of 12 January 2017.
But possibly Charlotta B is delivering this building to Dubai,
where they probably can still afford these high costs :-))
Life is so valuable, diverse, interesting and so fleeting that there is no time to be not who you are and not who you want to be with.

Photos of ornaments like this rarely appear on web. They are coming from the jewellery collection of the emperors of the forbidden city in central Beijing, China. The forbidden city, a World Heritage Site of UNESCO, is an imperial palace complex, constructed from 1406 to 1420, consisting of 980 buildings in traditional Chinese palatial architecture, which has influenced cultural developments in East Asia and elsewhere.
The collections of the Palace Museum are based on the Qing imperial collection. Today, there are over a million rare and valuable works of art in the permanent collection of the Palace Museum, including paintings, ceramics, seals, steles, sculptures, inscribed wares, bronze wares, enamel objects, etc.
The illustrated early Chinese jewellery masterpiece is a hairpin decorated mainly by blue kingfisher (Alcyone) feathers, as well as butterfly feathers, red coral and other materials. It was indented for personal adornment of the empress. On the left in the background is visible an outstanding brooch, made also by blue kingfisher feathers.
The photo was taken in the context of the exhibition "Forbidden City: The Private Rooms of Emperor Qianlong.” at Acropolis Museum.
