It is a mesmerizing picture. To me it looks like an old print or slide with faded colours. It is like if I was looking at an image of a lover that was taken many many years ago, trying to remeber her name.

After WW2, Germans were forced en masse to leave their homes in

border areas of Czechoslovakia and never return. This grave (and many

more) was left behind in what is now the Czech village of Nove Hute

in Sumava National Park. Long neglected, the grave is now maintained

by surviving relatives during brief visits from Germany.

Landscape just south of Dublin city.

an old pavillion on the east pier sadly lost it's roof to bad weather

In the end of the sailing season, boats are moved from sea to dry

berths by crane. For some reason I like the pattern of diagonal

lines in the picture. What do you think?

Lars is very good at mixing caipirinha. Picture was taken at Lars's

place in available light only - from a large floor-to-ceiling window

on his right. Do you like it?

Crop? Composition? Toning? Contrast? Comments most welcome, thank

you.

On a nice day, the pier becomes a favourite promenade for locals and

tourists. Shot hand-held at 1/15, with a polarizer.

Do you like it?

Feedback welcome. There is also a colour version in my porfolio, but

for some reason I like the b&w image more. What do you think?

Feedback welcome.

The modern, concrete-built Berkeley Library of the Trinity College,

Dublin, stands next to the old stone building of Thomas Burgh's

Library. The old and new libraries form the background to a

sculpture by Arnaldo Pomodoro called 'Sphere with Sphere' (1982-83).

 

Comments welcome.

This is a plant on the window in the living room; I though the

blinds created nice repeated pattern of light that illuminated the

leaves.

Thanks for viewing.

Even in Ireland, we just get lucky sometimes and there is a sunny

day with no wind. Photo taken in the Wicklow Mountains just south of

Dublin last Sunday.

Ben, thanks for your advice, much appreciated.

Feedback welcome :-)
