Today I have to chance to go on a little business trip again (only two days). I'm very happy about that trip and so I decided to post today a shot I made on my last one. A beautiful view to the mouth of the river Mosel into the river Rhein. In the foreground you see the German Corner with the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Monument and behind the city of Koblenz stretching out. Its a history charged place whitch I will spend more attention to another time.
Nachdem ich heute die Möglichkeit habe, mal wieder eine kleine dienstliche Reise zu machen (nur zwei Tage) und mich mich darüber sehr freue, möchte ich ein Bild zeigen, was auf meiner letzen entstanden ist. Ein wunderschöner Blick auf die Mündung der Mosel in den Rhein. Im Vordergrund ist das Deutsche Eck mit dem Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal zu sehen, hinter dem sich die Stand Koblenz erstreckt. Ein geschichtsträchtiger Ort, dem ich mich an anderes mal intensiver widmen werde.
Steveston Historic Fishing Village is an ever so romantic fishing village, that is situated in Richmond BC, on the Mighty Fraser River
Canada
Interesting how the river currents produced a crosshatching effect of the surface of the water (foreground)
Definitely one of British Columbia's best kept secrets.
If you enjoy quaint fishing villages, combined with light and vibrant colours, I am pleased to extend an invitation for you to browse through my.... 'I 💖 Steveston album'

Night reflections of the big city and harbour
The Burrard Bridge (also referred to as the Burrard Street Bridge) is a five-lane, Art Deco style, steel truss bridge constructed in 1930-1932 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The high, five part bridge on four piers spans False Creek, connecting downtown Vancouver with Kitsilano via connections to Burrard Street on both ends. It is one of three bridges crossing False Creek.
False Creek is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown from the rest of the city. It was named by George Henry Richards during his Hydrographic survey of 1856-63. George Richards named False Creek during his survey of the coast in the mid-19th century. While traveling along the south side of the Burrard Inlet, he thought he was traversing a creek; upon discovering his error, he gave the waterway its modern name. Wikipedia

One photo example from a sunset shooting at Moritzburg castle. In this case, the car was in the centre of attention, not the castle. It's realy cool to get paid for a great evening like this.
Ein Foto aus einem Sonnenuntergangs Shooting am Schloß Moritzburg. IN diesem Fall stand das Auto im Mittelpunkt, nicht das Schloß. Es ist schon cool, für solch einen schönen Abend bezahlt zu werden.
On the day I got this new camera, I took this photo. I wanted to have a portable small camera to capture any photos worth taken while I am on travel, or while I am just cruising around. And what is the best way to drive test, than a backyard scene. I did not want a sunset or a sunrise, I just wanted a charged sky and a call pond with no wind rippling through it. This photo is the first photo posted to Flickr with this camera. I love the camera.

A special thanks to all my Flickr friends and visitors, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.
I would also, like to extend my thanks, to all those who place my images in their beautiful galleries, or use my images for their covers.
Additionally, I am truly humbled to receive so many thoughtful and generous testimonies. I cannot express how deeply touched and honoured I am, to find such caring and beautifully written words left on my behalf.
Happy Clicks

Still cold, not too tempting to go for long trips with the boat.
This is from the island Karmøy, facing towards the North Sea, many nice spots here with beautiful calm view and lovely sunsets.
Just love these spots.
Well, actually, hehe - I love it all.
The lakes and the canal ways of the backwaters are the home of boats of all sizes, shapes and colors. Boats are the means of transportation for the people who live there and for visitors! The house boats are converted rice barges that have been moderized into floating cabins. They are many navigating the waters, but not so many that it is too crowded.
Happy 2017 to everyone.
This is one of my favorite photos from Nova Scotia. The location was near Halifax on a clear and sunny morning several years back.

Water lilies are a well studied clade of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants, and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. Analyses of floral morphology and molecular characteristics and comparisons with a sister taxon, the family Cabombaceae, indicate, however, that the flowers of extant water lilies with the most floral parts are more derived than the genera with fewer floral parts. Genera with more floral parts, Nuphar, Nymphaea, Victoria, have a beetle pollination syndrome, while genera with fewer parts are pollinated by flies or bees, or are self- or wind-pollinated Thus, the large number of relatively unspecialized floral organs in the Nymphaeaceae is not an ancestral condition for the clade.

This image was captured by boat on the southern arm of the scenic Alouette River.
You can also capture this area by foot, but nothing compares to experiencing this life style by floating into the scene and becoming one with the peacefulness and beauty that 'surrounds' you.

Maybe its only me, but I think that spring has much more intense colours than any other season. Maybe its because I'm starving for colours after the semi-monochrom season of the winter ore that the colours are just new and not bleached out by sun, wind and weather. No matter why, I love it. In this context greating to the car body manufacture Huebner in Medingen, who told me that it’s not allowed to park next to his property in such an unbelievable and unsurpassed friedly way.
Vielleicht geht es ja nur mir so, doch ich finde der Frühling hat viel intensivere Farben als jede andere Jahreszeit. Vielleicht liegt es ja daran, dass ich nach der fast monochromen Phase des Winters so ausgehungert nach Farben bin, oder das die Farben eben noch neu sind und nicht von Sonne, Wind und Wetter ausgebleicht wurden. Egal woran es liegt, ich liebe es. In dem Zusammenhang einen herzlichen Gruß an den Karosseriebau Hübner in Medingen, der mich so unübertoffen freundlich darauf hingewiesen hat, dass man vor seinen Grundstück nicht parken darf.

Granville Bridge
The original bridge was completed in 1889. It was a 732-metre long low timber trestle. The navigation span, near the north end, was a trussed timber swing span, tied with wire ropes to a central wooden tower. It was largely designed by the CPR, and cost $16,000. In 1891 the bridge was widened on both sides for streetcar tracks, except where the tracks converged for the swing span.
Second bridge 1909
Media related to Granville Street Bridge (1909) at Wikimedia Commons
The second bridge was completed in 1909. It was a longer, medium-level steel bridge with a through truss swing span.
Third bridge 1954
On February 4, 1954, the current Granville Street Bridge, costing $16.5 million, opened. A million cars would cross over the bridge in its first month. The city of Vancouver funded the bridge itself as Mayor Frederick Hume said "no formal assistance given by any other government body."
The eight-lane structure was constructed on the same alignment as the first bridge while steel plate girders salvaged from the second bridge made barges for constructing the foundations of the Oak Street Bridge.
The first “civilian” to drive over the 1954 bridge was the same woman who was first to drive over the second bridge in 1909. She had been widowed between the two openings, and so had a different name. Both times she was at the wheel of a brand-new Cadillac.
