"In the days leading up to December 6, children throughout Europe put their shoes or a special St. Nicholas boot in front of the fireplace or the front door at night to find them filled with small presents the next morning."

If you drive north over the Lukmanier Pass and leave Ticino, you will pass this reservoir directly after the cantonal border at an altitude of over 1900 meters. Here it shines beautifully in the evening sun and accompanies us into the canton of Graubünden.
Wenn man über den Lukmanierpass nach Norden fährt und das Tessin verlässt, kommt man direkt nach der Kantonsgrenze auf über 1900 m Höhe an diesem Stausee vorbei. Hier glänzt er schön in der Abendsonne und begleitet uns in den Kanton Graubünden.

Hello everyone,
It's an odd caption, but here's why. Even though I took this image on a hot summer day, the combo of yellow and purple reminds me of fall. And here we are, it's almost fall.
Edited with effects in Topaz Studio for Sliders Sunday. HSS!
Thank you so much for taking the time to look and for leaving me a comment, I do love hearing from you!
Have a bright and beautiful day!

The permanence and ephemera of nature. Rock, millions of years old. Leaf, end of its life after a single year. And both recycling into nature, slowly and rapidly.

Hello Everyone!
During a walk, the warm tones of this lily captured my eye. I don't know the official name of the colour; some might say salmon, others coral. I'd be interested to know what you think! For Wannabe Warmer Wednesday, devoted to encouraging the warmth of our spirits that might be flagging (and to warm you up if you live in a cold climate)! Happy WWW!
Thanks a million for stopping by and leaving a comment. I really do love hearing from you! Have a delightful day!

Fomatone 132, Lithprint (Kontakt von einem Kallitypie Drucknegativ) mit speziell für Fomatone Papier abgestimmten Easy Lith FT.
sroll down for English
Fomatone und Foma Retrobrom sind die einzigen Papiere aus aktueller Fertigung mit denen farbig gelithet werden kann. Auch das unter dem Oriental Label vertriebene Warmtone ist schon seit Jahren eine Fomatone Emulsion.
In den letzten Jahren traten beim Lithen von Fomatonepapieren Fehler auf. Die Ursache ist laut Foma eine andere Gelatinequalität ab der Chargen-Nr. 0777. Bei Entwicklungszeiten über 6 Minuten können sowohl größere kreisförmige Flecken (Snowball-Effekt), als auch an Marmoroberfächen erinnernde Strukturen auftauchen.
Für den SE5 Lith-Entwickler habe ich schon mehrfach auf die Möglichkeiten der Vermeidung dieser Fehler hingewiesen. Für den fertig abgestimmten Easy Lith besteht natürlich auch die Möglichkeit, durch Zugabe von Lith D und einen veränderten Workflow, dieses Übel zu verhindern. Für Anwender, die ausschließlich mit Fomatone oder Retrobrom Papieren lithen möchten, kann ich eine Variante des Easy A Konzentrates anbieten, bei welcher die beötigte Menge von Entwicklungsverzögerern schon enthalten ist.
Es mag auf den ersten Blick nicht einleuchtend erscheinen, einerseits kurze Entwicklungszeiten als Problemlösung vorzuschlagen, andererseits eine höhere Dosierung bremsender Substanzen zu verwenden. Zum Verständnis sei nochmals auf den Zusammenhang von hoher Lichtmenge für farbige Resultate und die daraus resultierende Notwendigkeit einer hohen Verdünnung des Entwicklers hingewiesen, um damit bei Zeiten zwischen 8 bis 12 Minuten sowohl farbige Lichter und tiefe Lithschatten zu erreichen. Bis vor einigen Jahren hat der Prozeß so funktioniert. Um die oben genannten Fehler zu vermeiden, sollte die Entwicklung mit den aktuellen Fomatone Chargen jedoch nach etwa 6 Minuten abgeschlossen sein. Sind also farbige Ergebnisse (wie früher) angestrebt, benötigt das Papier eine starke Überbelichtung. Der Entwickler darf aber nicht stark verdünnt werden um eine zu schnelle Entwicklung zu vermeiden. Bei der vorgeschlagenen Mischung von 50ml A + 50ml B auf ca. 900ml Wasser, müßte der Entwicklungsvorgang nach 2-3 Minuten abgebrochen werden, ein echter Litheffekt kann so nicht entstehen. Wenn derart fetten Entwicklern jodoch einen Verzögerer zugesetzt wird, landet man bei gegebener Lichtmenge (für hohe Farbigkeit) bei Entwicklungszeiten zwischen 5 und 6 Minuten. Wird mit einem zweiten Bad gearbeitet, sei es eine reine Alkalilösung, oder ein anderer Entwickler, entstehen keine Fehler, auch wenn die Gesamtentwicklungszeit dann bei 8 Minuten oder länger liegen kann.
Bei den speziell für Fomatone abgestimmten Konzentraten, kann die Arbeitslösung mit etwas weniger B angesetzt werden, wenn ein zweites Bad mit Alkalilösung erforderlich sein sollte. Beispielsweise kann dann mit 5 ml B das zweite Bad mit ca. 500 ml Wasser angesetzt werden.
ENGLISH
Fomatone and Foma Retrobrom are the only papers currently in production that can be used for colourful lith prints. Oriental Warmtone is also a Fomatone emulsion since some years.
In recent years, errors have occurred in the lithing of Foma papers. According to Foma, the cause is a different gelatine quality from batch no. 0777 onwards. With development times of more than 6 minutes, both larger circular spots (snowball effect) and structures reminiscent of marble surfaces can appear.
For the SE5 Lith developer I have already pointed out several times how to avoid these defects. For the ready-tuned Easy Lith there is of course also the possibility to prevent this evil by adding Lith D and a modified workflow. For users who want to lith exclusively with Fomatone or Retrobrom papers, I can offer a variant of the Easy A concentrate, which already contains the necessary amount of development retarders.
At first glance, it may not seem plausible to suggest short development times as a solution to the problem on the one hand and to use a higher dosage of retarding substances on the other. For the sake of understanding, Ie would like to point out the relationship between a high amount of light for coloured results and the resulting necessity of a high dilution of the developer in order to achieve both coloured highlights and deep lith shadows at times between 8 and 12 minutes. Until a few years ago, this is how the process worked. However, to avoid the faults mentioned above, development with the current batches of Fomatone should be completed after about 6 minutes. So if coloured results (as in the past) are desired, the paper needs a strong overexposure. However, the developer must not be heavily diluted to avoid too fast development. With the suggested mixture of 50ml A + 50ml B on approx. 900ml water, the development process would have to be interrupted after 2-3 minutes, a real lith effect cannot be created in this way. If, however, a retarder is added to such fat developers, you will end up with development times of between 5 and 6 minutes for a given amount of light (for high colourfulness). If a second bath is used, be it a pure alkaline solution or another developer, no defects occur, even if the total development time can then be 8 minutes or more.
With the concentrates specially adapted for Fomatone, the working solution can be prepared with slightly less B if a second bath with alkaline solution should be necessary. For example, 5 ml B can be used to prepare the second bath with approx. 500 ml water.

Of all the zoo animals few are as popular around the world as the Meerkat (Suricata suricatta). It is actually a mongoose from southern Africa, and it has one of the most highly developed communities among small mammals. Every member has a role to play, and one of the most important is that of the sentry. Its job is to look out for potential danger and warn the community who can then flee to their burrows.
Looking back at this older photo now, I am amazed at the clarity and colour in that original jpeg taken with the Panasonic DMC-FS7. As with all these small sized files, they have not been cropped, but framed in camera.
Where there is light - there is Life! Where there is Life - there is Hope! So let`s hope that 2021 gets us all back on track of Life. Think positive and send out a Light in the Dark!
In littlworld my tiny little people started the year with some light in the dark too. Otherwise this guy wouldn`t find his way out of the bottle last new years eve :)
All the best for the upcoming 2021 to all of my flickr-friends :)
Vielen Dank für Eure Besuche, Kommentare und Sternchen!

"Kellerfund" - zuletzt habe ich einige alte Prints gefunden, leider wenig oder gar nicht beschriftet.
"Cellar find" - last I found some old prints, sadly they were poorly lettered or not lettered at all.

Happy Caturday 24.9.2022 "Warm tones"
The Macro Monday day theme for 3/14 is “pie”, for mathematically obvious reasons, and this will probably be my posting. These scrabble tiles are 1/2 inch so this square composition is about 2 and 3/4ths or just under 3 inches. Will post the size verification in the first comment box in a little while.

In the drop-forge / old blacksmith shop Hendrichs, Solingen, Germany, there were garage rooms to rent in former times for various handcrafters. Here are the (maybe copper?) fittings of the common "Waschkaue" (washing room). Its part of a museum today.

There is a long tradition of photographers reaching toward the language of painting — not out of inadequacy, but out of curiosity. Photography captures what is; painting interprets what might be. Somewhere between those two impulses lies a fertile middle ground where images can become more than their origins. This piece lives in that middle ground. The painterly manipulation is not a trick or a shortcut; it is a deliberate choice to explore what happens when a photograph is allowed to dream a little. The textures soften, the colors blend, the background becomes a suggestion rather than a statement. The image begins to feel less like a record and more like a memory. And memory, after all, is rarely sharp. It is atmospheric. It is selective. It is shaped by emotion as much as by fact. By leaning into this painterly aesthetic, the image becomes a meditation on perception itself. What do we remember about a moment? The exact details, or the feeling it left behind? The cardinal becomes a vessel for that question.
