the frozen banks of the Harraseeket river -- ice on one side and frozen weed and mud and stone on the other, the edge of the forest cuts down through the sky aligning in a diagonal with the frozen edge of the river dividing visually and tonal weight both parts of the image, in the foreground a large log cuts from right to left providing the delicate act of 'balance'

It’s Friday so it’s time for a #scape I’m going with another Autumnal one. Have a great day wherever you are in the world. 🌍 #photography #EastCoastKin

A gentle hillside covered in golden grass and tall trees with autumn foliage, their leaves glowing in warm amber tones as sunlight filters through the canopy. The soft light and upward view create a peaceful woodland scene filled with warmth and quiet beauty.

A lonely photographer contemplates the Chicago shore from a distance at dusk. Photo taken in Indiana Dunes. The photographer is the only person in the shot, and is looking toward the far shore. The lower third of the image is almost completely black, and the area above that includes the sky and a little of lake Michigan. The colors in the sky go from blue to bright orange, and reflect on the lake.

This black-and-white Holga photograph captures two individuals in costumes, during the Easter Bonnet Parade on 5th Avenue in Manhattan. The woman on the right holds a sign that reads "@ PURELY PATRICIA." The man sports a handlebar mustache, while the woman wears a headdress adorned with hundreds of Mardi Gras beads.

A vibrant view of Tokyo’s iconic Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where hundreds of people move in every direction under the afternoon sun. Surrounded by gleaming skyscrapers, red construction cranes, and massive billboards, the scene captures the pulse of urban life at one of the world’s busiest pedestrian crossings, where over 500,000 people cross each day.

Two men crossing on the zebra crossing

Black and white square photo of two men on a zebra crossing. The photo is taken from a higher point, looking down on the men. One is walking from left to right, dressed in white and grey, and with white hair. The other walks from right to left in a dark suit and with a dark bag slung over his shoulder. They haven’t crossed yet, and there is a gap between them

Castle walls shaped by legend: Burg Eisenhardt, said to have been built by giants, still stands strong above Bad Belzig (Germany) where myths echo through every stone.
#PalacesAndGardens theme #Myth&Legend #photography

#EastCoastKin

The view of Burg Eisenhardt in Bad Belzig reveals a formidable stronghold rising majestically from its hilltop perch.

Long ago, before the world took its familiar shape, the land of Fläming was wild, untamed, and ruled by three colossal giants. These were no ordinary beings, but titans whose footsteps thundered like rolling thunder, and whose breath stirred the winds that whispered through the ancient forests.

It is said that in those distant days, the giants roamed the valleys and hills, their great hands shaping the earth itself. When the time came to protect the land from shadowy dangers lurking beyond, the giants joined forces to build mighty fortresses. With stone as heavy as mountains and walls thick enough to withstand the fury of storms, they raised three castles, Eisenhardt, Wiesenburg, and Rabenstein.

But the castle of Eisenhardt grew faster than the others. Why? Because it lay closest to the giants’ feet, and with every powerful stomp, the ground beneath it was pressed, hardened, and infused with their iron will. They guarded it fiercely, their shadows cast long and dark across the valleys.
On nights when the moon is swallowed by clouds, some say you can still hear the deep pounding echoes, giant footsteps resounding far and wide, as if the ancient protectors have not yet left.
But beware, those footsteps are no mere memory. They tell of a power that waits silently, a promise etched in stone and flesh: that when the land is threatened, the giants may rise once more, storming from the mists to defend their realm.

Will you be brave enough to walk the castle grounds alone when the wind chills your bones and shadows draw near? For the giants may be sleeping, but their legend still breathes, a giant’s heartbeat, slow but steady, beneath the earth itself…

Il sole, tramontando dietro una collina ricoperta di alberi, illumina e fa brillare le spighe di pabbio comune (setaria viridis) che crescono spontanee ai margini di un prato.
