Thank you all, I'm happy you like it
Frank,  it is now between 7 and 14 C° . Cold for us but still very enjoyable to eat in the sun

Sep Ruf created a settlement for the High Commissioner of Germany in Bonn. The HiCoG-settlement is still there while the Americans are long gone. I remember friendship from my youth visiting Americans in this settlement before they returned to America. Pars pro toto, two buildings taken with the D600 & 105E from "the high rise" the first building with more thast 5 storeys in Bonn:

An interesting story, Frank.

We had a lot of snow, and melting again. 

There are still some signs of Christmas decoration

It was cold today (yeah, for Tokyo, I mean) but pleasant.  D750 with AF-S 50/1.8G (the lens turned out to be noticeably sharper without the protection filter), some cropping.

John: These PO Boxes look red on my monitor. Last time I took shots of these they seemed top be "oranje". Otherwise I like the idea of fish eye in this case.

Akira: This cloud seems to stem from another world, a peaceful 3-dimensional-world full of light like in the cartoon film "UP" a few years back. The cvitxy in contrast appears like a city of shadows in contrast.

Interesting for members of a very authoritarian institution, some of our priests use the old anti-authoritarian baptising words: "I anoint you to be priest, king and prophet. Do not bow before any worldly power but only in front of your Lord, Jesus Christ" So Jesus, who was a PITA of the Jewish Establishment in his time, lets the foundations of Kingdoms, Empires and Institutions like the Roman Catholic Church shiver and crumble, because everybody is, in that perspective, entiteled to direkt access to a higher force, the highest.

Thanks, Frank.  Yes, the cloud was so inspiring.  Your capture of the baptismal scene conveys your familiarity with your religion.

I am sorry you have such an overcast day We haven't had that few clouds since october and I am getting rather tired of the ever changing weather

A rare snowstorm in Virginia Beach was a delight for many...




Admin: max. 1 mage per day. No exceptions.

Thank you. Also important is that all the people there know me, trust me and I have all area access all the time. They feel they like to support my effort to create pictures for them.

A glorious sunny day for my first foray out this year, on the 2nd.
Frost and just a sprinkle of snow, almost a late autumnal feel.
