This building with the Florentine loggia is the former palais urbain built for Ignaz Graf von Törring-Jettenbach and also a former post office.
Originally built 1747 to 1754 in Rococo style for the above mentioned count Törring-Jettenbach, it was modified many times.
1835 to 1838 the Florentine loggia was added while at about the same time the building was made the main post office.
Mostly destroyed in World War II, the interior was not reconstructed. After the post office moved out in 2009 all not listed parts of the building were demolished, only the loggia with its arcades remained. Now there is upscale shopping and a café.

Rue Emile Zola is mainly made up of a row of colourful half-timbered houses dating from the 16th century. These buildings were rebuilt after the violent fire which broke out in the heart of the medieval town, destroying the main quarters of the town in 1524. Although very few buildings from the medieval period remain, this lane has retained this historical aspect and demonstrates an overview of what the town was like at the time of the famous "Champagne Fairs".
September 1st has marked the beginning of the meteorological Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.
But summerly temperatures will remain for some days.
The light has changed since some days and its getting dark earlier.
First birds (storks and swallows) has left us earlier as usual.
So I will leave too but not in southerly direction - will move westwards.
See you soon, dear friends :-)

Der Sommer neigt sich seinem Ende zu...
Am 1. September begann der meteorologsche Herbst in der nörtdlichen Hemisphäre.
Das Licht hat sich schon ein wenig verändert, und am Sternenhimmel geschieht Interessantes im September:
www.ardalpha.de/wissen/weltall/sternenhimmel/planeten-mar...
Einige Vogelarten(Störche, Schwalben) sind schon in den Süden gezogen , die Mauersegler jagen bei uns für kurze Zeit noch mit ihren schrillen Rufen über den Himmel.
Für mich ein Symbol des Sommers.Ich bewundere sie sehr.
Seit ihrem Schlüpfen ständig in der Luft, manchmal bis zu 30 km/h...
So will auch ich nochmals für einige Tage losziehen allerdings ncht in südliche, sondern in westliche Richtung..
Bis bald :-)

For over 4,000 years Mother Nature has thrown everything she had at this tree... Unbearable cold, blizzards, gale force winds, drought, searing heat, earthquakes, and unrepentant tourists, and The Guardian has weathered every storm, every threat, every challenge and remained standing, though it succumbed to inevitable mortality over 500 years ago.
This ancient bristlecone pine, situated with one other tree on the edge of a steep slope in the White Mountains has been the subject of countless photographs under a variety of conditions. I was here with a group for an astrophotography workshop, and although I am pleased with some of the images I captured later that night, this one is the one that stands out above all others.
During the last weekend in August, the daytime high temperatures - even at 9,000' elevation - were above 80° F, and at nearly 8 PM, still holding in the upper-60s, while Bishop and Big Pine in the Owens Valley below, roasted in the 90s and 100s. The heat of the valley combined with the cool air crossing the ridge tops above the Sierras to the west create interesting weather and clouds in the late afternoon, which seemed daunting initially, but cleared soon after sunset to allow for clear skies when it was time to capture the galactic core of the Milky Way above.

Yellowhammer - Emberiza Citrinella
The yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) is a passerine bird in the bunting family that is native to Eurasia and has been introduced to New Zealand and Australia. Most European birds remain in the breeding range year-round, but the eastern subspecies is partially migratory, with much of the population wintering further south. The male yellowhammer has a bright yellow head, streaked brown back, chestnut rump and yellow underparts. Other plumages are duller versions of the same pattern. The yellowhammer is common in open areas with some shrubs or trees, and forms small flocks in winter. Its song has a rhythm like "A little bit of bread and no cheese". The song is very similar to that of its closest relative, the pine bunting, with which it interbreeds.
Yellowhammer males learn their songs from their fathers, and over the course of time regional dialects have developed, with minor differences to the conclusion of the basic song; all are mutually recognised by birds from different areas. Each male has an individual repertoire of song variants within its regional dialect; females tend to mate with males that share their dialect, and prefer those with the largest repertoires.
The pine bunting and yellowhammer are so closely related that each responds to the other's song. The male yellowhammer's song is more attractive to females, and is one reason for the dominance of that species where the ranges overlap.
Yellowhammers of the British and Irish race, E. c. caliginosa were introduced to New Zealand by local acclimatisation societies in 1862, and soon spread over the main islands. They sometimes visit New Zealand's subantarctic islands, although rarely staying to breed, and have reached Australia's Lord Howe Island on a number of occasions. At the beginning of the 20th century, this bunting was seen as a serious agricultural pest in its adopted country.
Populations of yellowhammer have also been introduced to the Falkland Islands, and South Africa.
The yellowhammer is a bird of dry open country, preferably with a range of vegetation types and some trees from which to sing. It is absent from urban areas, forests and wetlands. Probably originally found at forest edges and large clearing, it has benefited from traditional agriculture, which created extensive open areas with hedges and clumps of trees.
Populations have declined in recent decades in western Europe, including the British Isles, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria and Italy. The yellowhammer is a red-list (severely declining) species in Ireland and the UK In eastern Europe, numbers appear to be stable, although the trend in Russia is unknown. Changes to agricultural practices are thought to be responsible for reduced breeding densities. The introduced population in New Zealand has been very successful, with breeding densities much higher than in the UK.
Now my cohesive style week has ended, the desire to play bold became too big.
Still leaves remain on the trees, although it's probably only a few weeks left before the dark November takes over.
Having used a picture from the archive, photographed a foggy day, and with all the wet air, it's hard to get it all sharply, luckily there are groups on Flickr with digital paintings.
Have a wonderful Friday all the nice Flickr friends.
You are the source of my inspiration!
For Fence Friday. Happy FF!

Half glazed, half unglazed, these earthenware water jars have remained unchanged in terms of production since the 11th century.
In Myanmar, the Myanmarese bury them in the ground to keep their water stocks cool. They are considered indispensable for the storage of fresh water.
I remain my biggest enemy. Never satisfied with what I do, always running after a chimera... just within reach of my hand and yet so far away.

Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire is one of England’s very few remaining pieces of original fenland. It is a protected wetland site of international standing. The wind pump here, a smock mill, was originally at nearby Adventurer’s Fen and is the last survivor of the many thousands that once dotted the fenlands.
A fen is a waterlogged place with reeds and other plants growing in standing water, beneath which are peats and, nearer the sea, marine silts. These flat wetlands were interspersed by islands (like Ely) carrying villages and small towns. Transport was by boat.
That was the original Fenland. Much of what is now called the Fens in eastern England is a modern landscape. The original fenland was drained from 1629 onwards by Dutch engineers to give very rich farmland.
An unexpected long-term result was that the underlying peat beds dried out and shrank. Fields sank by 2m or so and became lower than the drainage channels and rivers! Continuous pumping was then needed - first by wind pumps like this survivor at Wicken. Eventually the picturesque windpumps were replaced by steam power, then by diesel or electrically driven pumps.

Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, and we are fortunate enough to have some beautiful big blue sky days as part of the season. On one such day, I took a stroll and saw the last few remaining pale pink roses on a bush for this autumn season. Bathed in soft autumn sunshine the pink bloom was too beautiful not to photograph.
Melbourne has experienced a wonderful Indian summer this year, and as a result, not only are there still plenty of beautiful blooms about, but the Autumnal colours are starting to appear.
These tiny birds have such huge personalities. I love watching them as they scurry back and forth, staying just at the water's edge, probing for the aquatic invertebrates revealed by the waves.
Although considered common, their numbers are in steep decline as humans take over more and more of the coastlines necessary for their survivial.
This adult in breeding plumage is migrating from the High Arctic tundra where they nest. Non-breeders do not migrate, remaining in their wintering grounds saving their energy for when it is their turn.
American robins are making short work of the remaining crabapples here at Lake Meyer Park. In a few more days the crabapples will all be gone, and so will the robins until we see them again next spring. With luck, I'll find another robin or two to photograph before they vanish.
DEW POINT
The dew point is the temperature at which dew would form assuming all other conditions remained the same. The dew point is a function of the air temperature and humidy. The dew point temperature can never be higher than the air temperature. If the dew point temp and air temp are the same, than the humidity must be 100%.
... because a little bit of yellow on your belly does not make you a full fledge Yellow-bellied Sapsucker... you remain a red-breasted Sapsucker. Thanks to Bill Chen and Peter Simpson for correcting my mix up. The Yellow-Bellied would be a great rarity for Vancouve Island.

The Dresden Frauenkirche is a Lutheran church in Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony. Destroyed during the Allied firebombing of Dresden towards the end of World War II, the church was reconstructed between 1994 and 2005.
An earlier church building was Catholic until it became Protestant during the Reformation. The old church was replaced in the 18th century by a larger Baroque Lutheran building. It is considered an outstanding example of Protestant sacred architecture, featuring one of the largest domes in Europe. It was originally built as a sign of the will of the citizens of Dresden to remain Protestant after their ruler had converted to Catholicism. It now also serves as a symbol of reconciliation between former warring enemies.
After the destruction of the church in 1945, the remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, following decisions of local East German leaders. The church was rebuilt after the reunification of Germany, starting in 1994. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, and the interior in 2005. The church was reconsecrated on 30 October 2005 with festive services lasting through the Protestant observance of Reformation Day on 31 October. The surrounding Neumarkt square with its many valuable baroque buildings was also reconstructed in 2004.
This picture was taken million times. I took it 30 years, 20 years, 10 years ago and last week and it is almost unchanged. That is almost a miracle in a city of constant change.
Leuty Lifeguard house was build around 1920 and actually designed by architects (Chapman, Oxley & Bishop). It is one of the few historical waterfront structures remaining in the city. It was last renovated in 2017, when it was raised on pilings.

A brief description of this photo:
A while ago, someone who shall remain nameless, had put out a photo with a catchy description, inviting participation. That said, I took part in said event only to suffer multiple injuries, the only one of which that I made known was the damage done to my hand by their apparatus. With that said, I was kindly rebuked in my mentioning of my injured hand. Then...in another encounter with said individual, I was told to send them my medical bill...well, since they offered. I took them up on it and on my way to mailing my bill to them, since it was tax season and they could afford my medical BILLS...ahem. I went to my mailbox to submit my envelope and tripped over another ill kept SL sidewalk, thus causing me to lose my balance and my crutch and in doing so, my envelope was taken away by a strong wind... a suspicious wind, mind you but nonetheless..my envelope was lost as well as my medical BILLS, that they were going to pay. The only proof of this, is one of the many CCTV that SL has in our cities.
If the person who is responsible for my broken hand sees this, my bill is forthcoming either by SL Postal Carrier or a strong Windlight wind!!!!
Now I'm off to pop some Oxy, as all this typing aggravated my hands, both good and broken!!!!
PS If anything is misspelled or is seen as an incomplete thought... I was in extreme pain typing this and reliving the whole experience.
This was one second of me walking very fast. I was surprised how much remained recognizable because obviously there was a lot of camera movement. The spooky winter woods are so dark that it's a perfect playground for weird ICM fun!
In a way, it's like relinquishing control and becoming merely a witness to see what glimpses of another world may appear in my camera. There is something so liberating in that.
Wales is still in lockdown so we will be continuing with our morning walks locally for a little longer.
Remain safe everyone
Out of this wood do not desire to go:
Thou shalt remain here, whether thou wilt or no....

Dalkena, WA, grew up around a lumber mill built in 1902. A fire in 1935 burned all but 2 of the 40 buildings that made up the town and mill. This barn is the only remaining original building. A newer church and a few homes, plus the barn, make up what remains of the town of Dalkena. Of interest, this barn was also used for town dances and other gatherings.

Osteospermum is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Calenduleae, one of the smaller tribes of the sunflower/daisy family Asteraceae. They are known as the daisybushes or African daisies. It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. Osteospermum used to belong to the genus Dimorphotheca, but only the annual species remain in that genus; the perennials belong to Osteospermum. It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. There are about 50 species, native to Africa, 35 species in southern Africa, and the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. They are half-hardy perennials or sub-shrubs. 35951
Old Delhi , is a walled city of Delhi, India, was founded as Shahjahanabad by Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in 1639. It remained the capital of the Mughals until the end of the Mughal dynasty. It was once filled with mansions of nobles and members of the royal court, along with elegant mosques and gardens. Today, despite having become extremely crowded and dilapidated, it still serves as the symbolic heart of metropolitan Delhi.
