A cute orange and white tabby cat is lounging relaxed on a beige cushioned cat tree platform. The cat has striking green eyes gazing directly at the camera with a calm, slightly curious expression. Its fur features classic ginger stripes on the head and back, with large white patches on the face, chest, and belly. One front paw is playfully extended forward, as if reaching out, while the other paws are tucked comfortably underneath its body. In the background, a sisal-wrapped scratching post is visible, softly lit by natural daylight.

A serene rural landscape on a clear, sunny day with a bright blue sky. In the foreground, a person dressed in a black winter jacket, beanie and pants, is walking away from the camera down a narrow paved path, leading a brown horse by its halter. The horse walks calmly on the left side of the path. Long shadows from the person and horse indicating low sunlight. The path is flanked on the left by a lush green field and on the right by plowed brown farmland. In the mid-distance, a small cluster of leafless trees, including a few slender birch trees with white bark, stands near a tiny pond reflecting the sky. The horizon features gently rolling hills covered in alternating strips of green grass and brown plowed earth, creating a peaceful, open countryside scene in early winter.

Puente de Los Tilos, La Palma, Canary Islands

'Verbindungen' #FotoVorschlag

#pletzfeldnature #photography #nature #naturephotography #landscape #landscapephotography #architecture #darktable #mywork #myphoto
The image shows a dramatic landscape view looking up from the bottom of a deep, V-shaped lush green ravine toward the graceful concrete arch bridge Puente de Los Tilos (also known as the Arch of Los Tilos) on La Palma in the Canary Islands, spanning high across the top. The bridge, a slender, elegant single arch structure made of light gray concrete, curves smoothly in a wide parabolic shape, supported by vertical pillars rising from the arch to the flat road deck above. The road deck appears as a straight horizontal line with barriers on the sides, carrying a two-lane roadway that connects the steep, vegetated slopes on either side. Through the open space beneath the arch, the deep blue ocean is visible in the distance, meeting a pale horizon under a mostly clear, bright blue sky with scattered white clouds. The ravine below is filled with dense, vibrant tropical vegetation: thick layers of green trees, shrubs, and especially prominent banana plants with large, broad leaves in the foreground at the bottom of the image. Terraced patches of cultivated land, likely banana plantations, are visible on the lower slopes, along with winding dirt paths. Overall, the composition highlights the impressive engineering of the bridge contrasting with the natural beauty of the deep green valley, ocean backdrop, and clear skies, creating a sense of height, depth, and harmony between human structure and nature.

This is a detailed close-up photograph of a traditional half-timbered house facade, typical of historic German architecture (Fachwerkhaus). The wall is constructed with dark brown wooden beams arranged in a decorative geometric pattern. The spaces between the beams are filled with white plaster panels. The timber framing creates bold diagonal, interlocking shapes: triangles, diamonds, and curved decorative braces that resemble stylized figure-eights or pretzels beneath the windows. In the center of the image are two six-pane wooden windows placed side by side. Each window has a dark brown frame and is fitted with delicate white lace curtains visible through the glass. Outside each window hangs a pair of traditional turquoise-green wooden shutters with horizontal slats. The shutters are folded back against the wall and secured with metal hooks. Above the windows runs a horizontal wooden beam decorated with a row of small rectangular plaster panels. The wood shows natural texture and age, while the white plaster has slight weathering and faint cracks, giving the building a charming, centuries-old appearance. The overall color palette is dominated by rich dark brown wood, bright white plaster, and the striking turquoise-green of the shutters against the warm tones of the timber framing.

A person is climbing an indoor wooden climbing wall, viewed from behind and slightly below. They are wearing a blue helmet, a white short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, black sneakers, elbow pads on the right arm, and a full safety harness with ropes attached for top-rope belaying. The climber is midway up the wall, reaching with their right hand for a hold while their left foot is on a lower hold. The wall is made of wood laths with various colorful artificial holds (green, red, blue, yellow, purple) scattered across it, and a large textured rock-like feature in the upper center. There are safety signs at the bottom center of the wall.

"Star Cluster"

'In der Weihnachtsbäckerei' #FotoVorschlag

#pletzfeldmomentsintime #photography #darktable #mywork #myphoto
The photo shows a large, beautifully arranged assortment of Christmas cookies displayed on a table at a bakery. In the foreground, there are many light golden-brown, star-shaped butter cookies generously coated with coarse white sugar crystals that catch the light and give them a sparkling, frosty appearance. In the middle rows are traditional round German gingerbread (Lebkuchen), brown and soft. Some are plain with a slightly cracked surface, while many are half or fully dipped in glossy dark chocolate, and a few have decorative white icing drizzles on top. In the background, more star-shaped cookies are visible, this time without sugar coating. The cookies are laid out in neat, slightly overlapping rows that fill the entire table, creating a rich, colorful pattern of gold, brown, chocolate, and white. The background is softly blurred, but arms and torsos of people standing behind the table can be seen. The overall scene feels warm, abundant, and full of classic holiday aromas.

On a cold, overcast day with a uniformly gray sky, a single person walks away from the camera down a narrow gravel farm road thru a rural surrounding. The person, seen from behind and quite small in the frame, is dressed in a long dark coat and is leading a brown horse on a loose lead rope. The horse wears a fitted navy-blue rug with a thin white piping along the edges.The road gently curves to the left. On the left side lies a vast, recently harvested field of dark brown soil with patches of short, dry grass. On the right, a vivid green pasture stretches out, scattered with bare, leafless trees that indicate late autumn or early winter. About halfway down the road, slightly elevated next to some trees, stands a wooden hunting stand. It is a tall, simple structure with four legs and a small enclosed cabin at the top, reached by a ladder. The stand is clearly visible against the open landscape. In the middle distance, the land rises softly toward a line of naked deciduous trees on a low hill, and beyond that, faint blue-gray mountains appear under the heavy clouds.The scene is calm and solitary; no other people or animals are visible. The light is flat and diffused, giving the landscape a quiet, contemplative atmosphere. At this point, special greetings to Emmi Konster from Finland!

The photograph shows a close-up section of a steeply pitched roof covered in traditional, overlapping, fish-scale-shaped terracotta roof tiles. The tiles have a weathered, reddish-brown color with patches of green moss growing in places, giving the roof an aged, rustic appearance. Protruding from the roof are three red-painted wooden dormer windows arranged in a triangular formation: two identical rectangular dormer windows side by side at the bottom, and one smaller dormer window centered directly above them. Each dormer has a simple gabled roof with black metal flashing and a short black downspout running vertically along its side. All three windows have white frames and are divided into four panes each. The left lower window reflects a blue sky, the right lower window has closed reddish-brown blinds visible behind the glass, and the upper window is slightly open at the top with a small colorful object (possibly a decoration or toy) hanging from the frame. Just below the two lower dormers runs a sturdy black metal snow guard (often called a snow stopper or snow retainer gutter in some regions). This is not a regular rainwater gutter but a reinforced bar designed to prevent large sheets of snow from sliding off the steep roof all at once. Running just beneath the snow guard is the actual rainwater gutter, also black, which collects and channels rainwater.

The Last Temptation.

'Nah dran' #FotoVorschlag

#pletzfeldnature #photography #nature #naturephotography #darktable #mywork #myphoto
The photo is a close-up of a wild blackberry branch (Rubus fruticosus). A thin, slightly thorny stem holds several small clusters of blackberries in different stages of ripeness and decay. Most of the berries have already overripened and dried on the plant; they appear shriveled, dark purple-black, and dull, with some tiny dried leaves and brown, papery remnants of the former flowers still clinging to the stem.In the center foreground, one single wild blackberry stands out strikingly: it is fully ripe, bright glossy magenta-red (almost ruby-like), plump, and composed of many shiny, juicy-looking drupelets that catch the light with small highlights. This vibrant berry is surrounded by the withered, desiccated berries, making it the clear focal point. The background is softly blurred in shades of green, suggesting dense foliage in diffused natural daylight. The image conveys a quiet, bittersweet moment: the end of the blackberry season, with just one last perfect berry remaining on an otherwise spent and fading bramble.

The black-and-white photograph shows a calm, expansive seascape. In the foreground, large, rugged volcanic rocks dominate the scene, some partially submerged in shallow, gently rippling water. The rocks are dark, rough-textured, and irregularly shaped, and scattered across the lower third of the image.Beyond the rocks, the ocean stretches out toward the horizon, its surface smooth and reflective with only subtle waves. Small clusters of rocks and low reef-like formations break the water’s surface here and there, creating a dotted pattern that leads the eye into the distance.The horizon line is low and perfectly straight, with a faint, distant shoreline barely visible under a vast, open sky. The sky takes up more than half the image and is filled with soft, wispy clouds. The overall mood is serene, quiet, and slightly moody due to the monochrome tones, and evokes a sense of peaceful isolation at the edge of the sea.

Stuttgart, Schlossplatz.

'In der Innenstadt' #FotoVorschlag

#pletzfeldmomentsintime #photography #architecture #beautifulgermany #darktable #mywork #myphoto
The photograph shows a bright, sunny day at the Schlossplatz on Königstraße in the heart of Stuttgart, Germany. The sky is vivid blue with scattered fluffy white clouds. Dominating the left side of the image is the historic Königsbau, a magnificent neoclassical building with tall, light sandstone columns, ornate cornices, and a grand staircase leading up to its entrance. Two people are sitting on the wide stone steps in the foreground, facing away from the camera. In the center of the square is a lively outdoor café with many small round tables and chairs shaded by large beige parasols. Dozens of people are seated, enjoying drinks and conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. In the background, slightly left of center, stands the tall, slender clock tower of the Stuttgart Central Railway Station, a prominent city landmark made of light stone with a visible clock face near the top. This 56-meter-high tower, designed by architect Paul Bonatz, marks the northeastern end of Königstraße and is topped with a large, rotating Mercedes-Benz star. The square is bustling with activity: pedestrians cross the plaza, some carrying shopping bags, others with backpacks or pushing strollers. Small trees and potted plants add greenery. The overall scene is a quintessential sunny afternoon in central Stuttgart at the Königsbau, one of the city’s most famous and lively public spaces, with the iconic Hauptbahnhof tower framing the view down the pedestrian boulevard.

Autumn by the lake.

'Herbst (Typisch)' #FotoVorschlag

#pletzfeldnature #photography #nature #naturephotography #landscape #landscapephotography #darktable #mywork #myphoto
The photograph depicts a calm, mirror-like lake or pond on an overcast autumn day. The water is perfectly still, creating a flawless reflection of the sky and landscape. In the center of the image, a solitary weeping willow tree with bright golden-yellow foliage stands on the far shore, its long, drooping branches hanging down toward the water. Its vivid reflection shimmers symmetrically below it on the water’s surface.To the left, a gently sloping grassy bank rises toward a dense line of trees, most of which have already lost their leaves or display muted brown and dark green tones typical of late autumn. A few small patches of remaining autumn color are visible among them. On the near side of the water, in the foreground on the right, several tall reeds and grasses with green and brownish blades extend into the frame, slightly out of focus.The sky is completely covered in soft gray clouds, giving the scene a quiet, peaceful, and slightly melancholic atmosphere. There are no people or animals prominently visible, only a hint of a small hut half-hidden among the trees on the left bank. The overall mood is serene, contemplative, and cool-toned, dominated by muted greens, grays, and the striking splash of yellow from the willow tree.

"Hie gut Wirtemberg allweg"

The Lower Gate is the only remaining city gate of four gates in the German city Bietigheim-Bissingen, built at the end of the 14th century. It displays the stag antlers coat of arms of the Counts of Württemberg […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]
The photograph shows the historic "Unteres Tor" (Lower Gate) in the old town of Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany, seen from the outside looking through the archway into a charming cobblestone street.The gate is a tall, centuries-old stone archway with a rounded top. The stonework is weathered and shows its edges are slightly crumbling, giving it an authentic medieval appearance. The large arch is wide enough for vehicles and pedestrians to pass through comfortably.Above the arch, the wall is decorated with a colorful painted fresco in Renaissance style. In the center is a large coat of arms featuring a black imperial eagle on a golden shield. On either side stand two landsknecht painted in profile, facing inward toward the coat of arms. The landsknecht hold a tall lance and a shield. Both are historically dressed with flowing ribbons and detailed heraldic shields. Between them, in old German Fraktur script, is written: "Hie gut Wirtemberg allweg". Through the archway, a picturesque narrow street of the old town opens up. Traditional half-timbered and brightly painted houses with gabled roofs and blue shutters line the street, which is paved with uneven cobblestones. A few pedestrians are walking in the distance, and the scene is peaceful and sunny, conveying the quaint, well-preserved atmosphere of this historic German town.

#pletzfeldnature #photography #nature #naturephotography #darktable #mywork #myphoto
The photograph shows a winter landscape on a cold, overcast morning. In the foreground, there is a wide, open grassy field covered with a light layer of white frost that sparkles faintly in the subdued light. The grass beneath the frost is still visibly green in places, creating a subtle contrast.Beyond the field, a dense line of tall deciduous trees rises up, their bare branches completely encased in thick, crystalline hoar frost. The frost coats every twig and branch, turning the entire treeline into a delicate, shimmering wall of white and pale silver that glows softly where faint sunlight filters through the heavy gray clouds above. The trees appear almost ghostly, as if dusted with powdered glass.The sky is filled with thick, low-hanging clouds in shades of pale gray and blue-gray, diffusing the light and giving the whole scene a quiet, muted, and serene atmosphere. A small patch of diffused sunlight breaks through the clouds near the center-top of the image, creating a gentle bright spot that softly illuminates the frosted treetops from behind.Overall, the image conveys a peaceful, still, and magically frosty winter morning, with a strong sense of cold, crisp air and hushed silence.

The image is a black-and-white photograph of a rustic dining table. In the foreground is a place setting consisting of a white plate with a scalloped edge, a spoon, and a fork, which lie parallel to each other next to the plate on the wooden surface of the table. A piece of the spoon appears to be broken off, and the prongs of the fork are heavily worn and slightly bent. There are four additional empty plates with cutlery on the table, arranged in a circle around a large, ornate serving bowl with a ladle. The table appears worn, with visible grain and texture. In the background, a window with multiple panes lets in soft light that illuminates the scene and casts gentle shadows. The overall atmosphere is calm and old-fashioned, suggesting a historical or vintage setting.

This is a detailed close-up photograph of the upper part of a traditional German half-timbered house. The wall features the characteristic exposed dark wooden beams forming a geometric pattern of rectangles, diagonals, and triangles, with the spaces between them filled with white plaster.There are three six-pane windows in a row at eye level. Each window has white frames and is surrounded by green wooden shutters that are currently open and fastened flat against the wall on both sides. The shutters are a muted sage green color with simple rectangular cut-outs near the top.Above and below the windows runs a horizontal row of closely spaced, protruding wooden beam ends. The timber framing is painted dark gray-brown, and the overall appearance is well-maintained and typical of historic buildings found in many German towns.

A calm, open body of water fills most of the frame under overcast daylight. In the center of the image, a sleek, narrow, bright red rowing shell (a four-person sweep boat) glides smoothly across the water. The boat is viewed from behind and slightly above.Four rowers sit in a single-file line facing backward toward the stern. Each rower holds two oars that extends out to the side of the boat; the white blades of the oars are just entering or leaving the water in mid-stroke, creating small splashes and ripples. There is no coxswain visible, suggesting this is a coxless four. The water around the boat is grayish-blue and gently rippled, with no land, other boats, or horizon visible in the frame.

A person, dressed in a dark jacket and pants with a hat, walks away from the viewer along the path, leading a brown horse by a rope. The horse follows closely behind, its tail swishing gently. In the distance, a line of trees with mixed foliage in shades of green, yellow, orange, and red stretches across the horizon, under a vast sky filled with soft, gray clouds. The overall mood is peaceful and contemplative, evoking a sense of solitude in nature.

-- Die Fantastischen Vier […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]
The image depicts a serene rural landscape shortly after a summer rain, evoking a sense of freshness and tranquility. In the foreground, a wide expanse of freshly plowed earth stretches out, its rich brown soil clumped and textured like soft, damp crumbs underfoot, with faint wisps of steam or mist rising gently from the ground, carrying the earthy scent of petrichor. The field appears vast and open, perhaps still glistening with residual moisture from the recent shower.Beyond the field, a distant line of lush green trees forms a natural horizon, their leaves vibrant and full, suggesting late spring or summer growth. The trees are partially shrouded in a soft, rolling layer of fog or low-lying clouds, creating a mystical veil that blurs their outlines and adds a cool, humid haze to the air, as if the rain has just lifted and the world is breathing out its relief.Above, the sky dominates with a dramatic bank of fluffy white clouds, thick and billowing like cotton, drifting across a patch of clear blue sky that peeks through in the upper portion. The clouds have a slight gray undertone on their undersides, hinting at the passing storm, while the overall atmosphere feels calm and rejuvenating, with the promise of sunshine breaking through. The scene conveys peace, renewal, and the quiet hush that follows a warm summer downpour, where the air might feel crisp yet heavy with humidity, and distant sounds like birdsong or dripping leaves could punctuate the stillness.

A stone archway frames the scene, covered in lush green ivy vines that drape over its curved top. On the left side of the arch hangs a vintage black lantern with a yellow bulb, marked with the number "1." Through the arch, a cobblestone pathway leads into a sunny courtyard. Ahead stands a traditional half-timbered building in German style, with white plaster walls crisscrossed by dark wooden beams forming geometric patterns. A large, open wooden gate with a zigzag design in reddish-brown slats reveals a small arched doorway beyond. The ground is paved with uneven gray cobblestones, dotted with patches of grass, and sunlight casts soft shadows, creating a quaint, historic atmosphere.

Three performers in vibrant medieval-fantasy costumes are captured mid-jump on a small wooden outdoor stage during a sunny street festival in a German town. The leftmost is an adult man dressed as a pirate or rogue, wearing a black tattered hood, white skull-like face paint around his eyes and mouth, a gray sleeveless jerkin over a light shirt, black pants with a white stripe down one leg, and rugged brown boots adorned with bells and straps, leaping forward with an intense expression. In the center, a young boy in a jester outfit sports a red pointed cap with bells, a blue-and-red split tunic and matching leggings with a black collar, and simple blue shoes, jumping with relaxed arms and a neutral look. On the right, an adult woman as an elf or fairy has long reddish-brown hair in a high ponytail with pink flowers and green antennae-like headpieces, green face paint with red dots and leaf patterns, a green-and-maroon laced corset, turquoise-and-magenta leggings with leaf details, and brown lace-up boots with bells, mid-leap with her right fist raised and a playful puckered-lip expression. The background features a light-colored building with green shutters, a wooden sign reading “Bühne” for stage, a beige canvas tent, woven reed fencing, a large drum, wicker basket, wooden crates, a few onlookers in mixed period and modern clothing, creating a festive and energetic atmosphere.

This is a black and white photograph capturing a large Ferris wheel from a low angle, looking upward toward the sky. The composition focuses on the wheel's intricate metal framework, with numerous spokes radiating outward from the central hub like the rays of a sun. On the right side, several enclosed passenger cabins—cylindrical and glass-paneled—are visible, stacked along the curving rim, giving a sense of height and motion. The background is a plain, overcast sky, which emphasizes the stark, geometric lines of the structure and creates a dramatic, almost industrial atmosphere. The image evokes a feeling of scale and engineering wonder, with no people or additional elements present.

A close-up photograph of an old wooden double door set into a rustic stone wall. The door is arched at the top, framed by a rounded arch made of reddish-pink sandstone blocks. The door panels are constructed from vertical wooden planks arranged in a chevron or herringbone pattern, pointing inward toward the center seam where the two halves meet. The wood appears weathered, with a warm brown tone and visible grain. Surrounding the door, the wall is composed of irregularly shaped stones in shades of red, brown, beige, and gray, mortared together with some white plaster visible in the joints. To the right of the door, there's a small rectangular stone slab or cover embedded in the wall, possibly a access panel or old mailbox slot. The ground in front is paved with uneven cobblestones. The overall scene evokes a historical or medieval European building, with signs of age like dirt, cracks, and slight discoloration on the stones and wood.
