They complement each other beautifully: the photo and the small story that goes with it. Thank you!

Color photo of beams of light impacting the lens and sensor of the camera.

Color photo of beams of light impacting the lens and sensor of the camera.

A photograph depicts a precise moment in time that will never repeat exactly again.

A medium for capturing our reality, to be revisited by our future selves.

A photographers purpose is to capture a record of what was.

A photographers option is to share that record with others.

A landscape taken from inside to outside, through the window of Castle De Haar. The window has two parts. Each part consists of 63 small stained glass windows. The left part shows the rear of the gatehouse, and the right part shows part of the garden.

A landscape photo of a side valley near the Austrian town of Niederthai, not far from Imst in Tyrol. It shows an unspoiled landscape with a winding stream, meadows, rhododendron, and snow-covered mountains in the background. (Archive photo 2008-07-05)

Fascinating. Today #BlueSkyArtShow asks for photos of #Sideways. At the same time, another program shows this photo from today, July 5, 17 years ago. It shows a side valley in Niederthai (A). This is also the image that often comes to mind when I do a mountain meditation...

A photo of the lower part of a tall factory window, lying down. This is located at the Hemburg complex in Zaandam (Netherlands). The left part of the window is broken. Through the gap, large, yellow insulation packages can be seen, stored in the hallway behind. The right part reflects the green bush behind the photographer, just like the remaining glass on the left side.

"That photo is 3D!" How many times have I seen this photo? The window itself is out of focus. Through the broken pane, you can see goods in the hall. Now I notice that the green surroundings behind me are reflected in the windows...

A photo of a green front door of an apartment building. On the left is part of the doorbells, on the right is written in chalk on the wall. A striking element on this door is three square bronze heads of monkeys that represent the proverb "hear, see and be silent."

A close up photo of the throne of Charlemagne in Aachen Cathedral. The photo was taken from the front left. The right armrest in the foreground. This runs to the right at the height of the backrest, then makes a curve. The marble slabs are held together by iron corners.

A standing photo of the bank of a canal. On the bank, next to a tree, a small red rowing boat lies on its side. The boat is reflected in the water.

A square photo of a flower. This is taken from the back, against the light. About six pink petals are visible, and - on the right - a star-shaped heart. Depending on the light and overlap, the pink is shown in different shades.

Amazing. What seven or eight petals can't do for the color #pink and soft backlight... A gift from Mother Nature!

Landscape photo of the facade of a commercial building, taken from bottom left to top right. As usual, there is glass in the windows at the front. However, the roof has been replaced by transparent upholstery. This means that not only the rafters, but also the air are visible through the windows.

A horizontal photo of a wooden garden table. The planks were painted alternately - at one time - in white and blue. In the meantime, the paint has partly flaked off. The table was mostly in the shade, but on the left there was just a little sunlight.

A horizontal photo from a 'frog's perspective', in the middle of a field of buttercups. They are leaning their flowers towards the sun that is setting in the west. The flower on the top left is still half closed, the flower on the bottom right is already open. The photo was taken during the 'golden hour', which made the yellow even more intense than it had been shortly before.

Ob es ein Umleitungsschild gab, kann ich nicht sagen. Aber die StraรŸe fรคllt hier deutlich ab. Schilder usw. befanden sich wegen Bauarbeiten nur kurz von einer stark befahrenen Kreuzung entfernt. Die Situation war ziemlich unรผbersichtlich, und das ist โ€“ denke ich โ€“ nicht gerade sicherheitsfรถrdernd.
