Günderodehaus Filmhaus Heimat 3, a nice restaurant with fantastic view on the ⁩Rhin valley with ‎⁨#Oberwesel village⁩.

I can’t resist having a photo like in Titanic: “I’m the king of the world!”, sorry 😉

Me, wearing a pink graphic T-shirt, brown shorts, and red sneakers, stands on a stone terrace with a railing, arms outstretched. The railing has metal posts like a boat and overlooks a river valley and the town below. In the background, rolling hills and greenery stretch toward the horizon under a partly cloudy blue sky.

    A quotation from Douglas Adams

       “So what do we do if we get bitten by something deadly, then?” I asked.
       He blinked at me as if I were stupid.
       “Well what do you think you do?” he said. “You die of course. That’s what deadly means.”

    Last Chance to See, ch. 2 (1990) [with Mark Carwardine]

      A quotation from Bill Watterson

         CALVIN: It offends the human ego that nature is indifferent to us. Nature doesn’t care if people live or die. It refuses to be tamed. It does whatever it wants and acts like people don’t matter. It won’t confirm our right to be here. That drives people crazy. We can’t stand being ignored. It’s insulting and … hey!
         HOBBES: YAWWNN. [wanders off]
         CALVIN: I think that’s also why some people don’t like cats.

        Yellow Coneflower is a hand-painted acrylic painting in landscape format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A fully blossomed single flower of a rudbeckia or coneflower with long curved petals in bright yellow and orange tones stands out against an abstract textured background in various shades of green. The loose brushstrokes and diagonal composition of the painting give it a dynamic feel, as if the blossom is dancing in the summer breeze in a summer garden.

          Mythical Creature

          Is it a flying narwhal, a unicorn with wings, or a garden fairy? Nope — it’s a ruby‑throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris). I happened to catch this tiny marvel zipping past while I was set up to photograph much larger (and much slower) birds. These hummingbirds flap their wings about 53 times per second, and even with my shutter speed at 1/1000, the wings still refused to freeze.

          Despite that, I love the composition of this shot. On that day, it won out over several technically sharper images simply because the moment felt right.

Suspended in mid-air, the bird’s wings blur into a delicate mist as it hovers near slender branches adorned with lush green leaves. Against a soft backdrop of muted blues and greens, the hummingbird defies gravity, flapping its wings an astonishing 53 times per second. The photographer’s choice to capture this fleeting moment, despite the challenge of freezing the wings at a 1/1000 shutter speed, results in a composition that celebrates nature’s elegance.

              A long-exposure night photograph by Mark Stewart capturing a dramatic coastal landscape filled with glowing bioluminescence and star trails. The vertical composition looks down onto a rugged, rocky coastline where sharp stone ledges and cliffs jut out into the ocean. The water directly colliding with these rocky shores glows with a vibrant, electric neon-blue light, caused by bioluminescent organisms activated by the motion of the waves. In contrast to the glowing blue water below, the night sky above is captured in a long exposure, filling the upper half of the frame with hundreds of white, parallel star trails arcing diagonally across the sky. Along the horizon, a warm, golden-orange glow from a setting moon or distant light illuminates the silhouette of distant mountains and the dense evergreen forest lining the clifftops. The smooth, misty texture of the ocean water creates a serene, ethereal atmosphere that bridges the glowing sea and the streaking stars.

                    Ruby in the Air

                    Here is a ruby‑throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris). I’m personally not thrilled with the image. I used Lightroom to blur the background, and it ended up looking like a clumsy kid trying to stay inside the lines of a coloring book. I could have started over, but I thought, nah — just go with it.

                    "The hummingbird hangs in the air like a tiny, living ember — a moment of motion frozen so clearly it feels almost impossible. Its head and back shimmer with iridescent green, the kind of green that shifts with the light, like polished metal or wet leaves after rain. At its throat burns a brilliant ruby patch, glowing as if lit from within. That red is sharp, jewel‑bright, and unmistakable — the signature of the ruby‑throated hummingbird.

Its wings are stretched wide, each feather a delicate, translucent blade. You can almost hear the faint hum they would make in motion, even though the photograph captures them in perfect stillness. The bird’s long, slender beak points forward with purpose, giving the sense that it is mid‑hover, deciding its next move.

The background melts into soft purples and greens — blurred flowers and foliage — creating a dreamy wash of color that makes the hummingbird’s vivid plumage stand out even more. The whole image feels intimate, like you’ve stepped into the bird’s world for a heartbeat and it allowed you to witness its impossible grace." - Microsoft Copilot

Whilst the flowers themselves are painted in greater detail, I have kept the background more abstract to better highlight the flowers and capture the relaxed, fresh atmosphere of a summers day.

I was inspired to create this acrylic painting by walks past ripening grain fields, from which the beautiful red poppies shine out and dance in the summer breeze.

                                    I put out a lot of feed, for Linus’s entertainment & my own.

                                    I’ve posted some videos here including the mating dance, & a bunch with , & getting up close & personal with my super-mellow old man . Here are a few more.

                                              Необычный родничок

                                              Издалека, когда едешь по неплохой в общем-то гравийке, эта остроконечная крыша наводит на мысль, что в эти глухие и малонаселённые места добрались буддисты, или какая-то другая из восточных реалий. А когда подъезжаешь ближе, то понимаешь, что это просто родничок. Не знаю, кто и почему сделал над ним такую необычную беседку, но точно получилось оригинально и уютно. Во всяком случае, у меня не хватило силы воли просто уехать, набрав во фляги воды. Пришлось заварить термосок, попить чаю на вкусной родниковой водичке, сидя на тёплых камнях беседки... В общем, за час с небольшим набрать водички я справился. 🙂️

                                              Спасибо тем хорошим людям, кто так заботливо обустроил эту крыницу и ухаживает за ней. Счастья и добра им в жизни!

                                              P.S. Кстати, если смотреть на поле одуванчиков вдали поверх линии заброшенного недостроенного фундамента, то можно убедиться, что Земля и в самом деле круглая! 😉️

                                                  Little Painted Desert near Winslow, Arizona. April 1984. A colorful labyrinth of eroded rock formations and box canyons.

                                                  Beneath a deep blue desert sky with streaky white clouds we are standing atop a cracked and fractured pinkish violet rock looking down several hundred feet into a landscape of narrow shallow canyons and rock formations below. There are striations of color throughout: chalky white, blue gray,  pinkish violet, brown. A scattering of olive green shrubs are the only signs of life in an otherwise barren scene.
