Blast from the past
It’s been a while since I’ve been at the seaside, any seaside. So I had to dig deep into my vault to find photos of sea and sun and sand. I went even further back than I expceted, more than 15 years and a couple of cameras ago. And it probably wasn’t even summer at Halfmoon Bay on the Arabian Gulf in Saudi Arabia.

I’m a fan of … mushrooms
I’m not a mycologist (or however mushroom specialists are called) so I take photos of them but otherwise I leave them be. I’m pretty sure I can recognise a parasol mushroom but “pretty sure” is too uncertain for me. No mushrooms for dinner tonight!
Solitary ‘shrooms. This one a little past its prime.
I imagine this is what a ‘shroom selfie would look like.
A gilled mushroom from the sid
and another one from underneath.
A ‘shroom sitting on a dead tree trunk,
and in the underbrush.
A small insect could fall in
or sllide down.
Yellow twins
and yellow goat’s beards.
A family of three, looking pretty poisonous
and more families, one famiily delicate and pale,
the other overcrowded and robust.
An elongated morel
and a fat goat’s beard.
Here are the round ones:
This last one looking almost like a flower.
And in a collection of mushrooms I cannot leave out the pychedelic variety:

And more toadstools or rather fly agaric can be found here.

The gasworks in Neustadt an der Dosse in Brandenburg – this is one of only two plants of this kind still standing in Europe (there is one other in Greece). The plant was built in 1904 and damaged little during WWII so that it was put into operation again in 1947. The gas produced from coal was used for street lights and heating. Operations were stopped 1980. It was declared a technical monument and converted into a museum. What made our tour of the complex so interesting was that the two men who showed us around used to work there 40 years earlier when it was still in operation.

Toadstools from an enchanted forest
I was on a long hike in the Pfälzerwald today. The weather is turning and the light filtering through the greenish yellow leaves was muted and transformed the forest which had been gay and light only a a day ago. Friends have told me that this year is very good for mushrooms and although it is said that the delicious porcini mushrooms grow in close proximity to the fly agaric I could only find the poisonous red caps with white dots. Just as well – they may be deadly but are much more photogenic.
At A Photo a Week it’s open season this week, or rather an open topic. Have a look what others made with this freedom of choice.
