Chrissy's photos

Seen in the Guinness Store House in Dublin.

In the South Korean subway.

I found this Pigeons on an electric line up above the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

The incredible Janet is back. She invited me to do the new A-Z-Project with her and here I am with a big A for acid.

Cliffs of Moher

This is one of these days I wish to sit in my irish friends kitchen having a mug of hot tea and feeling only peace. What you can see in the picture is my friends kitchen-window and the cat called Mulle. The capture is not high-quality, but I love the atmosphere and it helps me to calm down :-) Wish you all a good start into the new week! L♥ve Chrissy

Reflections on a flooded area on my way to work.

My first try with the focus stacking. They look a bit crazy, don´t they? Like funny little creatures.

How to do that? Look here: www.ipernity.com/blog/112400/555529

Waiting for springtime ... ... still waiting.

If you wonder how the big tree is grown in such an unusual way you have to know that it is a very old one. Since the Middle Ages the forest was used to give firewood to the people. In march they cut the branches of the trees two meters above the ground and let them grow again. (The two meters were important because of the cattles and sheep who would eat the fresh green twigs if they can get them.) The german word for this trees is "Kopfbuche" and means Headed Beech because of the thick bark. I love to walk through this forest with its fairytale like trees. In the place you can see here one minute after I took this picture a grandma and a grandpa with their grandchildren came along. Grandma and grandpa hide out behind the big tree and played with the kids. That made me smile. One thing that I saw only on the computer was the little heart in the bark of the other tree. I´m not sure you can see it in small ipernity version. Have a good week my friends and find some space to relax!

Ist das nicht einer der schönsten Baumpilze, die ihr je gesehen habt? Ich konnte mich von dem Motiv gar nicht losreißen. Allerdings waren die Fotos nicht so schön, wie ich sie mir erhofft hatte, daher habe ich ein wenig herumgebastelt und den Hintergrund weichgezeichnet. Als das immer noch zu unruhig wirkte, habe ich außerdem die Farbe herausgenommen. Zum Pilz: Wikipedia sagt: Der Schmetteringsporling oder auch die Schmetterlings-Tramete ist kein Speisepilz und gilt als ungenießbar. Sie kann durch Befall von gelagertem oder verbautem Holz, wie Stützbalken in Bergwerken oder Holzbalken von Eisenbahnschienen, schädlich werden. Sie gilt als Heilpilz in der traditionellen chinesischen Medizin und wird manchmal in der Floristik für Schmuckzwecke genutzt. Früher wurde die Tramete auch als Schmuck in Form von Broschen oder Schnallen verwendet. Beispielsweise in Paris wurde er für einige Zeit gern an Hüte gesteckt.

I went through the woods today and found this beautiful leaf on a tree trunk. When I went on, I found more. (picture in connection)

I am in a exceptionally good mood today. Although today is not a special day. Therefore, two "do not give up pictures". Everything will be fine. Look at the other Chrissy´s picture here: www.ipernity.com/doc/365539/30364243 :o)
