Sunrise for Nearsighted Spider with Human perception (Sonnenaufgang für kurzsichtige Spinne mit menschlichen Augen)

If you were a nearsighted spider, during sunrise, looking towards the first sunrays seeping through tall grass … possibly, you would see your world like shown in the photo… Nehmen wir mal an, du bist eine kleine kurzsichtige Spinne. Die Sonne geht auf und du schaust durch das Grass den ersten Sonnenstrahlen entgegen … möglicherweise, das wäre deine Aussicht…

Yesterday, with David and Friedhelm in the Merced Wildlife Refuge.

Sunrise at the Game Refuge

We (Wolfgang, David and I) photographed early at the Merced Game Refuge. Our goal was to photograph spider webs at sunrise. Enjoy!

Mahnung

Ein altes Grabkreuz auf unserem Waldfriedhof aus den 40er Jahren das mich nachdenklich gemacht hat.
An old grave cross on our forest cemetery from the 40’s that made me think.

Auf Ausguck

Ein Schnappschuss von meinem Balkon: Diese beiden Krähen genossen vor ein paar Tagen die herbstliche Sonne.
A snapshot from my balcony: These two crows were enjoying the autumn sun a few days ago.

Beyond Peak

This old abandoned building caught my eye while visiting Silverton, Colorado. Silverton is an old mining town, which was established in 1874, and sits at an elevation above 9,000 feet. Much of Silverton is in a National Historical Landmark District. The autumn leaves were a bit beyond peak, just like this lovely old building.

Billowing Flag

Election Day is quickly approaching here in the United States. The wind blowing the flag resulted in some nice movement in this image. Enjoy!

Merced River

Although the colors were just starting to turn and the leaves still had more green than yellow, Yosemite never fails to put on a show. I was standing in the middle of the river on a sand bar. The river here is only a few inches deep. The whole area is in desperate need of water and with the forecasts showing absolutely no moisture in the near future, things are beginning to look a little bleak. Pray for rain in our future and and a stop to global warming! Have a wonderful day and stay healthy.

Halloween is coming and with it the Spiders…

Balloon Popping

This is a fun project. Fill a balloon with water and pop it. I used two flashes, one to illuminate my hand and the other from behind to illuminate the water. Have fun!
