Murder! She Snapped

· 7 Comments ·

When I took the first photo I was wondering why the bee was not flying away and I thought the pollen basket looked kind of dry but I was in a hurry. I saw the white thing on the lavender bloom and quickly dismissed it as part of a white blossom. But now that I’m looking at it on the much bigger computer screen and – well you see it, too, don’t you? It was murder! The bee is dead. It is a dead bee. The bee has passed on. The bee is no more. It has ceased to be. It is an ex-bee!

In honour of this bee who has shaken off the mortal coil I show the photo without any editing except for a bit of cropping.

And now for the edited photos. Purple is opposite to green on the colour circle – so I thought I play around a bit with the negative tool.

Standing on the Wing of an Airplane

· 4 Comments ·

At the Technikmuseum in Speyer they have a Boing 474 and you can walk out on its wing.

You can see the Speyer Cathedral.

To the west, the mountains of the Palatinate Forest can be seen.

Further to the south is the town of Speyer and the trees lining the banks of the river Rhein.

Zooming out and the tail of the jumbo on which I was standing comes into view.

And that is the view to the front of the airplane.
