Exploring the sand dunes along the shores of Lake Michigan in Michigan City, Indiana. The sunset was a bust, but a day at the beach still beats a day pretty much anywhere else.

No, this is not the actual name of this recumbent bronze statue.
The four recumbent statues on the Wittelsbacherbrunnen in the Brunnenhof of the Residenz palace in the city center shall symbolize the four main Bavarian rivers: Donau, Isar, Inn and Lech.
Due to weathing of the fountain base it is unfortunately not quite clear which of these figures represents which river exactly.
BTW: Munich has 2 fountains named Wittelsbacherbrunnen, the other is located on the Lenbachplatz square.

Dawn arrives at the Valdez marina. I can still smell the ocean/fishing odors and the various sounds of the boats and crews getting ready for another day of world-class fishing. I was very impressed with the beauty and character of Valdez.
An earlier post of this same morning in comments.
Happy Friday!
謝謝LEN大的仙人指路，找到這一棵姿態曼妙的麻豆~
(在吹著刺骨寒風的峰頂有小帳棚可以避風真的開勛阿!)
每每看到這張照片，想到那一晚，月光照亮了這條看似寂寥的步道~心裡總浮現起滿滿的感謝，無論經過了多少痛苦的，難忘的事~ 心中能綻放出這樣的光芒，就更覺感恩~

A Johanneskirche Stuttgart ou igreja de São João é referida na literatura germânica como o edifício religiosa mais importante do século XIX em Estugarda. A igreja neogótica é a primeira igreja nova na cidade depois da Reforma, sendo que originalmente a sua torre tinha bastante mais altura.
O chamado Lago de Fogo, no centro de Estugarda, remonta ao século XVIII e foi construído originalmente como um reservatório de água para abastecer a cidade. Atualmente, o lago é muito conhecido pela sua variedade de peixes. Uma vez que a população de peixes no lago de fogo é tão grande e diversifica, de dois em dois anos, o peixe é totalmente pescado para ser distribuído nos diferentes lagos e parques em volta da cidade.
Uma das principais atrações do lago de fogo é a Igreja Protestante de São João, que foi construída em estilo neogótico, na segunda metade do século XIX. A igreja está localizada numa península do lago, e é atualmente, um dos destinos preferidos de muitos turistas. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, a igreja ficou bastante danificada, sendo totalmente reconstruída após o final da guerra, a torre em ruínas, ficaria inacabada. Assim, esta belíssima igreja do Lago de Fogo é agora utilizada como um memorial contra qualquer tipo de guerra, sendo muitas vezes referida como uma "a igreja sem ponta".
No século XIX, o lago de fogo foi enriquecido com uma outra linda atração, a grande fonte. Trata-se de uma das fontes mais poderosas do seu tempo, que atraiu inúmeros visitantes ao longo de muitos anos e, ainda hoje, fascina aqueles que a visitam. Este é um pequeno exemplo daquilo que podemos encontrar nesta bela cidade.
A historia do Cisne na fotografia, já é mais difícil de contar, visto não existirem referências da sua existência em lado nenhum, no entanto, eu atrever-me-ia a dizer que se trata da beleza lá do sítio, pois não se mostrou nada importunado com a minha aproximação, chegando mesmo a fazer pose e a desfilar para a fotografia, o que me leva a crer, que se trata de um manequim muito experiente e cheio de estilo que encontrou no lago de fogo a sua passerelle e o local ideal para se dar a conhecer.

Still shocked about the Nice horror...
Somehow life goes on
but when it's said and done
it's such a bitter pill
when you think the battle's won
you hear the distant guns
of all those fighting still
the battle's in our heads
one we alway lose
whichever side we choose
we can paint the planet red
or black and blue instead
but we are one world.
The Karlstor city gate illuminated with a "Sommer in der Stadt" (Summer in the city) theme.
The Karlstor is one of the remaining medieval Munich city gates, first mentioned in AD 1302. Today it forms the western end of the Neuhauser Straße pedestrians zone towards the Karlsplatz square (aka Stachus)

The fountains at the Schleißheim palace.
Schleißheim Palace was built 1701-1704 by Enrico Zuccalli for the Elector of Bavaria, Maximilian II Emanuel, who expected to become emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and therefore needed a representative new residence.
Unfortunately Maximilian II Emanuel never became the emperor...

There are many nice names in the secret garden ...
Don't know why.

A Water droplet captured on the leaf with great reflections of the surroundings in it.
I used Extension tubes to get closer and take this Macro Shot.
Enjoy!
The current Fischertor city gate was built in 1924, after demolishing the remains of a gate in this place dating to 1609.
The 1609 gate was actually a modification of a 1328 gate. The 1609 gate was nearly completely destroyed in 1703 during the War of the Spanish Succession, slowly rebuilt, but closed in 1770 due to lack of traffic.
As you can see from my middle-of-the-road point of view, there is still not too much traffic in 2022... 😁

Die anhaltende Kälte im Januar 2017 lässt den Main zufrieren. Hier ein Blick von der Alten Mainbrücke in Würzburg über den Fluss zur Festung Marienberg. Nur noch kleine Bereiche im Bereich des Wasserkraftwerks sind wegen der starken Wasserströmung dort eisfrei.
The persistent cold in January 2017 causes the river Main to freeze. Here a view from the Alte Mainbrücke (Old Bridge) in Würzburg over the river to the fortress Marienberg. Only small areas in the zone of the hydroelectric power plant are free of ice due to the strong water flow.
Hike between Mooserboden and Wasserfallboden reservoirs. They are located above the town of Kaprun in the Hohe Tauern in Salzburg in Austria.

While I've got lots of celand photos to post, I thought it would be good to post a church in Easter Sunday. Iceland has lots of these little churches, almost every settleent has one.The weather was terrible on the day I took this (I now understand what fuels all the waterfalls!) hence the choice of the long exposure.
In recent days, a lot of wind, gray and wet,
Luckily I have a well-stocked archive :-)
Thanks for your visit and comments, I appreciate that very much!

In campagna il silenzio non è mai silenzioso: c’è sempre un frinire di cicale, un cinguettare d’uccelli, un frullo d’ali, il ronzio di un insetto, un fruscio fulmineo nell’erba, il singhiozzo di una goccia d’acqua. Eppure non c’è silenzio più bello.
(Fabrizio Caramagna)

In the countryside, silence is never silent: there is always a chirping of cicadas, a chirping of birds, a flutter of wings, the buzz of an insect, a lightning rustle in the grass, the hiccups of a drop of water. Yet there is no more beautiful silence.
(Fabrizio Caramagna)

If I moved about I probably could have got a perfect reflection, but I thought the grass added nice foreground detail and made the shot a little different. This is the second outing for my Big Stopper and I am really pleased with the way it has caught the cloud which is tinged by the sunrise.
Revisited. The subway station "Westfriedhof" (Western Cemetery) on the border between the districts of Moosach and Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, along lines U1/U7.
Pretty popular photo location for obvious reasons...
The blue walls (remainders of the slurry wall that was used during construction) and the 11 huge lamps of 3.80 m diameter each give a very special atmosphere. The lamps do have yellow, red and blue lights, so each section has a slightly different atmosphere.

Swallowtail - caterpillar on her food plant (burnet) against the setting sun in the haze on a high-altitude meadow.
The light for the caterpillar comes from a reflector and a modest use of LED lamp.
