Es umfasst zur Zeit 23 Pfahlbauten. 2011 wurden die Pfahlbauten am Bodensee aufgrund Ihrer hervorragenden Erhaltung unter Wasser zum UNESCO Weltkulturerbe der Menschheit erklärt. Sie werden als aussagekräftige Überreste von Siedlungen der Stein- und Bronzezeit (5. – 1. Jahrtausend v. Chr.) in der archäologischen Forschung sehr geschätzt.
The Lake Dwelling Museum in Unteruhldingen is an open-air archaeological museum located on Lake Constance that presents archaeological finds and replicas of lake dwellings from the Stone and Bronze Ages. It currently comprises 23 pile dwellings. In 2011, the Lake Constance pile dwellings were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Humanity due to their outstanding preservation under water. They are highly valued in archaeological research as significant remains of settlements from the Stone and Bronze Ages (5th - 1st millennium BC).
I'm entering my busiest time of year right now so my time on Flickr will be limited to say the least, but I'll pop in when I can. Thanks in advance for your patience.
The Buttermere Pines in the early morning light.
The lake is 1.25 miles (2,010 m) by .25 miles (400 m) wide, and is 75 feet (23 m) deep. It has an elevation above sea level of 329 feet (100 m). A place of considerable scenic value, it is situated towards the head of the valley of the River Cocker and is surrounded by fells, notably the High Stile range to the south west, Robinson to the north east, Fleetwith Pike and Haystacks to the south east and Grasmoor to the north west.
I bought this bee themed water jug from a craft potter called Berber Dister based in the idyllic village of Cromarty on the Black Isle just north of Inverness. The artist had made her mark on the base and I'm hoping that one day it will rival Clarise Cliff's work for value. We are allow dreams.
Have a great Saturday SOS friends.

"Paw Prints Left By You" (author unknown)
You no longer greet me, as I walk through the door. You're not there to make me smile, to make me laugh anymore. Life seems quiet without you, you were far more than a pet. You were a family member, a friend... a loving soul I'll never forget.
It will take some time to heal - for the silence to go away. I still listen for you, and miss you every day. You were such a great companion, constant, loyal and true. My heart will always wear the paw prints left by you.
This is an old picture taken when they had only been together a few weeks. We bought Penny because Stella was lonely for dog company. She wanted a playmate.

THANK YOU!
I took this photo of the Wolf Moon (the first full moon of 2022) on 18th January 2022. It appeared so near and large and I used a similar technique to the one I used with one of my first photographs added to Flickr, with the setting sun, framing the moon with some garden foliage.
Since my first upload of the setting sun in 2015 I have become confident converting a number of my colour photographs to black and white (as is the case with this one). I really enjoy the creativity that I can achieve with tonal values in black and white images.
It was interesting to see that this image was also taken with a trusty compact (three versions later), although I now have a bridge camera and a 4/3 mirrorless camera.

I know you think I got it all figured out
내가 당신의 모든 걸 이해할 수 있을 거라 생각했다는 것을 알아요
'Cause I walk around like my head's in the clouds
나는 공상에 빠진 듯 걸어가니까
But I'm just a boy with his heart pouring out of his head
하지만 저는 그저 머릿속 생각들을 풀어놓는 소년인 걸요
I wish that you could see the pain that I've seen
내가 겪은 이 고통을 알아줬으면 해요
And all of the times I spent being not me
내가 아닌 모습으로 살았던 모든 시간들을
I hope you know that it's not always happy in my head
나의 머릿속에서 난 항상 행복하지 않다는 것을 알아줬으면 해요
'Cause I don't know
모르겠으니까
The perfect road to go down
완벽한 길이 어딘지 모르겠으니까
But I know
하지만 난 알아요
I'm trying my best
난 최선을 다했다는 걸
I'm trying my best to be okay
쓰러지지 않기 위해 최선을 다했다는 걸
I'm trying my best but every day it's so hard
난 최선을 다하고 있어요, 하지만 하루하루가 너무 힘드네요
And I'm holding my breath
난 숨을 죽일 거예요
I'm holding my breath 'til I can say
내가 말할 수 있을 때까지 숨을 죽일 거예요
All of the words I wanna say from my heart
내가 진심으로 하고 싶은 모든 말들
If you really wanted I could ley you inside
당신이 진심으로 원한다면 난 당신을 받아들일 거예요
It's been so long and I've got nothing left to hide
한참이 지났고 난 이제 숨길 것이 없어요
Would you believe me if I told you that I've got flaws
내게 결점이 있다면 믿어줄래요?
Now it's time to let the curtains unfold
이제 커튼을 걷어 젖히고
And tell all the stories that I didn't want told
내가 하기 싫었던 말들을 해야 할 때가 됐군요
I let it out so I unburden my soul I won't stop
난 내 속마음을 털어놓을 거예요, 멈추지 않을 거예요
'Cause I don't know
모르겠으니까
The perfect road to go down
완벽한 길이 어딘지 모르겠으니까
But I know
하지만 난 알아요
I'm trying my best
난 최선을 다했다는 걸
I'm trying my best to be okay
쓰러지지 않기 위해 최선을 다했다는 걸
I'm trying my best but every day it's so hard
난 최선을 다하고 있어요, 하지만 하루하루가 너무 힘드네요
And I'm holding my breath
난 숨을 죽이고 있어요
I'm holding my breath 'til I can say
내가 말할 수 있을 때까지 숨을 죽일 거예요
All of the words I wanna say from my heart
내가 진심으로 하고 싶은 모든 말들
I'm trying my best
난 최선을 다하고 있어요
I'm trying my best to be okay
쓰러지지 않기 위해 최선을 다하고 있어요

“Remain true to your values. If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”
― Frank Sonnenberg
Location: Green story
As I was frantically battling off dozens of viciously biting Yellow Flies with a heavily leaved branch, swatting them from my neck and back and basically losing the battle, I came across this lovely sight by a small creek...and in my desperation, I continued to swat my attackers as I got this shot with my other hand! It was a serene scene, with swatting chaos going on backstage! LOL

Solitude is where one discovers one is not alone – Marty Rubin
Solitude is not loneliness.
Solitude. It is something most of don’t value. With the demands of life in general we find it hard to squeeze in “me time”. I find it a necessity. I also believe that is important to understand that solitude is not loneliness. Solitude is a choice to be alone.
Macro 1X (focus stacking)
Fondos MNCN-CSIC
Macro 1X con apilamiento de foco por control de anillo de enfoque
Macro 1X by focus stacking using the focus ring control
Ingredientes:
-Nikon D600 + Nikor 105mm macro 1X
-Helicon Remote para control automático de la pila de foco mediante el anillo de enfoque (por medio de USB)
-Helicon Soft para apilamiento de foco (36 shots, Method B, R=4, S=2)
-Helicon lo puedes bajar a prueba durante 1 mes gratis, o una licencia para un año por 50€, controla casi todas las Nikon y Canon mediante USB. Existen otros proveedores de soft para stacking (apilamiento), p. ej. Zerene, ControlMyNikon o Canon, Combine Z, etc
-Opcional: impresora 3D (Up Plus 2) para la fabricación de focos, soportes, mesa de trabajo, etc. Puedes utilizar el sencillo 123D Design (free soft) para diseñar las piezas.
Receta:
-Montamos el bodegón con sujeto y fondo
-Lo iluminamos con 4 o 5 micro-focos de leds. Los focos se pueden diseñar e imprimir utilizando una impresora 3D y después montar los leds (alta luminosidad y 5300K), la alimentación es de 12vdc para grupos de 3 o 4 leds. La ventaja frente al uso de flash, es que se pueden dirigir los focos y componer la iluminación antes del disparo, además del volumen que se consigue jugando con la iluminación.
-Disparamos las fotografías utilizando, p. ej., Helicon Remote: Helicon controla el enfoque con el movimiento del anillo de enfoque antes de disparar cada foto, todo el proceso de toma de fotos es automático, se pueden ver videos en youtube
-Para 1X se necesitan de 20 a 100 fotos, según valor de f, focal utilizada y profundidad de campo necesaria, lo calcula el soft automáticamente. Se suele utilizar el punto dulce de la lente (normalmente en el entorno de f5.6) para optimizar los resultados
-Apilamos el stack de n fotografías utilizando Helicon Soft
-Utilizamos Lightroom o similar para eliminar “halos” y “artefactos”
-Una vez se tiene práctica, todo el proceso puede durar 15 min

/ POOR ENGLISH
Macro 1X by focus stacking using the focus ring control
How do you can do it :
Ingredients:
-Nikon D600 + 105mm macro nikor 1X
-Helicon Remote control for automatic focus stack using the camera focus ring (using USB)
-Helicon Soft Focus Stacking (36 shots, Method B, R = 4, S = 2)
-Helicon You can download a free trial for 1 month, or a license for a year for € 50, it controls almost many Nikon and Canon via USB. There are other suppliers of soft for stacking, p. ex. Zerene, ControlMyNikon or Canon, Combine Z, etc.
-optional: 3D (Up Plus 2) printer to manufacture light bulbs, brackets, desk, etc. You can use the friendly 123D Design (free soft) for pieces designing.
Recipe:
-Ilumination with 4 or 5 micro-LED bulbs. The lighters can be designed and printed using a 3D printer and then mount the LED´s (high brightness and 5300K), the power is 12VDC for groups of 3 or 4 LEDs. The advantage over use of flash, is that you can positioning the lights and lighting make up before shooting, in addition to the volume to be achieved by playing with these lighting.
-Shot photographs using, p. eg Helicon Remote. Helicon controls the approach to the movement of the focus ring before the photo shot, the whole process of taking pictures is automatic, you can watch videos on youtube
-For 1X do you needed 20-100 photos, depending on value of f, focal and deep of field needed, automatically calculated by the soft. Often used the sweet spot of the lens (usually in the vicinity of f5.6) to optimize results
-Now we stack of shots using Helicon Soft
-We can use Lightroom or the like to remove "halos" and "artifacts"
-Once you have practice, the whole process can take 15 min
-And sorry my English, please.

"Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom."
These are the words from Wreaths Across America's (WAA) website noted as "Our Mission". And, it is clearly observed in their commitment to the soldiers buried across the country in the many "national cemetery's" with the wreaths placed against the headstones. However, this is just one of the many ways that WAA remembers, honors, and teaches the next generation about our fallen. Please check out their website for more information about the many ways they accomplish this goal...
Additionally, the location of the photograph above is the Nashville National Cemetery in Madison, Tennessee (just north of Downtown Nashville) which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). More information about this "national cemetery" can be found here:

The Jurassic Coast begins in Exmouth, East Devon, and continues for 95 miles to Old Harry Rocks, near Swanage, Dorset. It is England's only natural World Heritage Site, and was inscribed by UNESCO in 2001 for the outstanding universal value of its rocks, fossils and landforms.
There's something inherently sad about household objects left out for the trash man. They are like castoffs; broken or no longer cherished, and left ignominiously out on the curb. This easy chair caught my eye the other day. Part of the forlorn quality of scenes like this is the object being ripped from its normal context. I wouldn't give the chair a second look in someone's living room. But it seemed horribly out of place on the edge of the state highway that bisects the village. That, and the sedentary nature of a recliner juxtaposed against passing traffic. Wonderful visual metaphors for the life cycle of things we purchase and the passage of time (and with it life). In the eerie stillness after the truck passed I contemplated the chair and the many other personal objects scattered about the lawn behind me. There's a village-wide trash haul this weekend, and little collections such as this are springing up all around. I have to admit a weird impulse to inspect them, and yearn to pull over when driving by. I can't help but think I will find something of value (I almost never do) but also that idle curiosity about seeing the remnants of someone else's life (remember I did preface this as weird). I'll be placing some of my own items out on the curb soon. I tend to wait until the night before, perhaps to avoid having others inspect them as I did this chair. Even when it's sheer junk, I feel an odd sentimental tug about letting go of things. And that spell lasts as long as the objects remain on my tree lawn before the pickup. Much like this chair, they are in the condemned phase, but still retrievable. I can simply go back out and reclaim them. That sentiment vanishes the moment the objects are tossed onto the truck. Maybe that's why I wait until the last minute to put them out. I just can't stand that in between time.

Colour re-edit of a shot from July 2017. Enjoy.
A Praia Formosa, em Santa Cruz, Torres Vedras, destaca-se pela sua extensa faixa de areia dourada enquadrada por imponentes falésias sedimentares jurássicas, típicas da costa ocidental portuguesa. A erosão marinha milenar expôs distintos estratos geológicos, ricos em argilas e sal, conferindo à paisagem um valor paleontológico significativo, com frequentes descobertas de fósseis. O acesso ao areal, condicionado pela natureza das arribas íngremes, é feito através de escadarias com miradouros que permitem apreciar a linha de costa e as intervenções de proteção costeira. Marcada por uma cruz num ponto panorâmico, a Praia Formosa integra a Área de Paisagem Protegida das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros e está historicamente associada à estância balnear que floresceu no século XIX, sendo procurada tanto por banhistas como por investigadores do património geológico, apesar dos deslizamentos ocasionais resultantes da contínua erosão.
Praia Formosa, in Santa Cruz, Torres Vedras, stands out for its extensive strip of golden sand framed by imposing Jurassic sedimentary cliffs, typical of the Portuguese west coast. The millennial marine erosion exposed distinct geological strata, rich in clays and salt, giving the landscape a significant paleontological value, with frequent discoveries of fossils. Access to the sandy area, conditioned by the nature of the steep cliffs, is via stairways with viewpoints that allow you to appreciate the coastline and coastal protection interventions. Marked by a cross at a panoramic point, Praia Formosa is part of the Protected Landscape Area of the Serras de Aire and Candeeiros and is historically associated with the seaside resort that flourished in the 19th century, being sought after by both bathers and researchers of the geological heritage, despite the occasional landslides resulting from continuous erosion.

I took a picture of Tommy, the steel sculpture on Seaham sea front two years ago, and have merged it with a picture of wild poppies I took earlier this year.
I think it important we remember our forefathers who served our country and gave their lives to protect our families, our nation, our traditions and our values. I've no time for those white and purple poppies. It was a human war . And it's the red poppy that symbolises the blood spilt in the torn up fields of the battlefields.
And I shall always respect the unselfish duty and sacrifice those men gave for our tomorrows.
English ten pound note.
If you are familiar with this banknote then this image may strike you as being a little odd. You’ll know the iridescent holograms on the left, but you may not have seen the large yellow figures ‘10’ formed in the pattern at the top.
That’s because this image was taken in UV light. There are patches of fluorescent ink printed on the note that just look like white paper in ordinary light. The five-pound note has a 5 in the same place. I couldn’t afford a £20 note to check it out for consistency (or should that be cheque?) ;)
The British pound sterling is the oldest currency in the world that has been in constant circulation. It was adopted around 800AD being modelled on the currency of the French kingdom of Charles the Great (Charlemagne) which was established a few years before. Italian, Spanish and Portuguese currency had the same roots.
The French livre (pound) had 20 sous each of 12 deniers, like the 20 shillings and 12 pennies of sterling. Interestingly although the small denomination was called a penny its symbol was the ‘d’, just like the French denier, the Spanish Dinero and the Portuguese Dinheiro. All the names derive from the Roman denarius coin.
Sterling was decimalised in 1971 which caused all the prices to go up and the parking meters to stop working :) The pound now has 100 new pennies (p or pence).
Originally one French livre was worth a pound weight of silver (equivalent to 14.6 Troy ounces), but by 850 the pound sterling was only worth eleven and a quarter Troy ounces of silver. Looking at tonight’s spot price for silver my note should be redeemable for £1868.62 of the shiny metal… times change.
This image measures under 3 inches across as per the rules.
One thing that photographers should be aware of is that it is illegal to reproduce a digital picture of more than 50% of one side of the note without an overstamp, and the Queen’s head must not be distorted. There are the normal copyright issues as well and these can be rigorously prosecuted. See the Bank of England website for more details.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)
