From the archives: A #Baltic Sea (almost) sunset for this week's #SensoryArt theme #Water. I took the photo some years ago at the German #coast near Kühlungsborn.

#EastCoastKin #photography #sensory #senses #light #sunset
A view of the Baltic Sea in the late afternoon: The sun is hidden behind a cloud visible in the top right of the image. The water is smooth, with only gentle waves appearing. The yellow-orange light suggests an imminent sunset. The scene is empty up to the horizon, with no sails or swimmers in sight. The image exudes tranquillity.

The décor in a Parisian restaurant for the #BlueSkyArtShow #Bright

#EastCoastKin #Photography #Scape
#Paris #travel #travelphotography #PhonePhotography
The mobile phone camera captures a section of the decoration in a Parisian restaurant, comprising several elements. In the background, there is a partially visible portrait of a young man, depicted in a stylised manner, showcasing his sharply defined face reminiscent of classic films set in ancient Rome, along with his bare upper body. In the foreground, illuminated spheres are hanging, one with a pattern, another displaying the word "Love," and a third resembling a classic disco ball. Amongst these, a vintage elongated LED light emits a warm yellow glow. On the left side, warm lighting is also visible, while the right side is illuminated in blue. As the picture is taken through a glass pane, reflections of two lamps hanging outside the restaurant are also present. Overall, the photo conveys a predominantly warm yet intriguingly vibrant atmosphere.

The great tits frequently visit our feeding station. The German name "Kohlmeise" refers to the black areas on their heads, which are as black as coal (Kohle).

#photography #nature #naturephotography #garden #Birds #Birding #Wildlife #Kohlmeise #Meise
A great tit is feeding at a bird feeder filled with suet balls, which is made of a metal grid and hangs in a hazel tree. In the image, a few autumn-coloured leaves can be seen hanging near the feeder. The great tit has a black head with a white throat, greenish wing feathers, and a yellow belly.

The path along the local canal leads far out of the town. Under the autumnal trees, we encountered a familiar face with a down-to-earth nature ...

The close-up of a fly agaric mushroom peeking out from behind the grasses, which are out of focus in the foreground, and autumn leaves. The camera is positioned directly in front of the mushroom, allowing a side view of its cap, revealing the gills on the underside, as well as the red top with white spots.

The gentle flow, trickling, and dripping of the "Abzucht" accompanies our walk along the #river in #Goslar.

#UrbanGaze #Scape #EastCoastKin #photography #photographersUnited #PhotographersofBluesky #urban #autumn #fall
The swiftly flowing river named "Abzucht" cascades over several small waterfalls. The photograph captures three of these stages. The water appears dark, while the small waterfalls stand out brightly in the long exposure shot. The water is filled with autumn leaves, adding red and brown accents to the dark water.

Stadhuis Deventer

Partial view of the façade of the Town Hall of #Deventer, #Netherlands. The pattern consists of enlarged fingerprints from the residents of Deventer (more inALT).

#PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #SensoryArt #patterns #Scape #Photography #Cityscape #UrbanGaze
The partial view of the façade, captured with a telephoto lens, reveals a graphic pattern of a metal structure composed of large and small squares filled with a line pattern. These lines represent fingerprints, as the artist Loes ten Anscher designed the façade of the new town hall using 2,264 enlarged fingerprints from the residents of Deventer.

Kreisel
#phonephotography #wood
Das Foto zeigt einen Holzkreisel, der von einem Dreher auf einer Drehbank hergestellt worden ist. Er wurde in Drehung versetzt, sodass die Holzmaserung nicht erkennbar ist. Viele Sorgfalt wurde in eine ausgewogene Gewichtsverteilung investiert, und weil die Spitze des Kreisels sehr fein ist, läuft er sehr lange auf einer glatten Oberfläche. The photograph depicts a wooden spinning top that has been crafted by a turner using a lathe. It has been set in motion, rendering the wood grain indistinguishable. Considerable care has been taken to ensure a balanced weight distribution, and due to the very fine point of the top, it spins for an extended period on a smooth surface.

The photo captures a wooden veranda, where the shadow of an overhead wooden railing is cast. Two individuals are leaning against this railing, and their shadows appear in the upper third of the image. The textures of the wood are clearly visible, creating an engaging interplay of sunlit areas and dark shadows.

The garden cross spider waits well hidden (or perhaps not so well?) in a holly bush for its prey. The photo is a close-up of the holly bush. Some leaves are visible in both sharp and blurred focus, displaying the typical shape of this shrub's leaves, with their outer edges adorned with strong spines. An open area in the middle reveals a few legs of a garden cross spider, which is concealed here.

Originally, “Euonymus alatus” comes from East Asia, but it adapts well to the European climate. This one shines brightly next to the #Neuwerkkirche in #Goslar.

The image depicts a wall constructed from large natural stones, reminiscent of a medieval fortress or castle wall. It is the wall of the monastic complex surrounding the Neuwerk Church in Goslar. The Romanesque church was built around 1200, and the Neuwerk Monastery itself was founded in 1186. In the foreground, a part of a spindle tree (or burning bush) extends into the image from the left, with its autumnal red leaves standing out vividly against the wall.

Half-timbered houses, slate roofs, narrow alleys: #October in #Goslar, as viewed from the tower of the Market Church.

#UrbanGaze #Scape #EastCoastKin #photography #photographersUnited #PhotographersofBluesky #urban #architecture
A view from above the city of Goslar, photographed from the North Tower of the Market Church. After climbing the numerous steps up the tower, one is rewarded with a marvellous view of the old town with its half-timbered houses. Many of the roofs are covered with slate. The telephoto lens compresses the perspective, making the houses appear very close together in the photograph. Autumn-coloured trees appear here and there between the houses.

The camera gazes outward through the tower window of the Goslar Market Church. The window frame is entirely black. Through the panes, one can look down upon the northern part of the city, observing several red rooftops and a green hill in the background. The white twin tower of a church is visible, with the perspective creating the impression that the church has only a single tower. Above the scene, a rain-laden, dark blue sky looms.

In the Jewish Cemetery in Goslar, ivy covers the wall and the gravestones of the eternal graves, forming a dense carpet of time. It is a place of tranquillity.

#ClassicMono #cemetery #BnW #BlackAndWhite #photography
The black and white image depicts a cemetery wall overgrown with ivy. A thick, branching stem has taken root in the ground and is spreading outwards, forming intricate structures. At the top of the image, ivy leaves can be seen occupying the upper third of the photograph. On the right side of the image, there is a broken gravestone leaning against the wall.

Der umgestürzte #Baum zeigt nun sein ehemals starkes Wurzelwerk, das ihn sein Leben lang gehalten und versorgt hat.

The fallen tree now reveals its once strong root system, which supported and nourished it throughout its life.
Die weit ausladende Baumwurzel eines umgestürzten Baumes. Das Foto zeigt den Baum „von unten“, sein Wurzelwerk, das ihn sein Leben lang im Boden verankert hat, Halt gegeben hat, ihn ernährt hat. Nun liegt der Baum auf dem Waldboden und die Verzweigungen seiner ehemals starken Wurzel ragen wie verzweifelte Knochen nach allen Seiten und finden keinen Halt mehr. Über dem Baum wölbt sich das Blätterdach des Waldes. The expansive roots of an uprooted tree. The photograph captures the tree "from below," showcasing its root system that anchored it to the ground throughout its life, providing support and nourishment. Now, the tree lies on the forest floor, and the branches of its once strong roots stretch out like desperate bones, unable to find support any longer. Above the tree, the forest canopy arches gracefully.

As soon as one steps through the #monastery gate from the bustling street, they find themselves in another world. Close-up of a wooden fence. At the bottom of the image, the corresponding horizontal crossbar runs across. Three fence elements are visible, with their top ends cut into triangular shapes. The fence is in focus of the lens, while the church with its Romanesque window situated behind the fence is in a blurred area.

The view from the northern outskirts of the city of Goslar presents a picturesque scene with autumn-coloured trees in the foreground, alongside some rooftops of the town. The two towers of the Market Church stand out as a prominent focal point, with their copper roofs tinged with verdigris. In the background, one can observe the slope of the Steinberg, partially bathed in sunlight.

The photograph depicts two rows of houses facing each other along a cobblestone street. The half-timbered houses are lovingly preserved and well-maintained, originating from the medieval period. The street stretches from the foreground into the background, disappearing around a right-hand bend. The small houses, with their compact roofs, immediately convey the atmosphere of a medieval street. Some houses towards the back of the image are roofed with slate.

The wide-angle shot captures a dimly lit room. In the upper left corner, there is a floor-length window consisting of two panes with Gothic arches at the top, reminiscent of those found in Gothic churches. However, this is a secular space, as it is located in the town hall of Goslar. The room's furnishings are also dark, drawing attention to the play of light created by the window. The afternoon sun casts an image of the window onto the dark floor, stretching diagonally across the room and illuminating the floor. Only at the very top of the window's arch are there red and blue elements, which are vividly displayed with their splendid colours.

Turning away from the currently very wet autumn weather here, I embrace #ThrowbackThursday to reminisce about a summer day in #England: #Clovelly #Harbour, 2015.

#Devon #photography #travelphotography #landscapephotography #scape #photohour #eastcoastkin
The camera captures a view from the top of the cliff in the coastal village of Clovelly, overlooking the historic harbour of the old fishing village. The quay forms a quarter-circle around the small harbour basin, which is only half-filled with blue-green water. Some boats float, while others are resting on the dry ground. The quay is bustling with activity, as tourists in summer attire populate the area. People sit outside the pub at tables, enjoying food and drinks. The pub, with its distinctive white wall, occupies the left part of the quay and is a large building that also serves as a hotel.
