Better viewed large. Im ersten Moment musste ich bei dieser Farbzusammenstellung und Form schon an eine Narrenkappe denken :-)) No offence!

The 19th century bullring - Plaça de Bous de València - is located alongside the Valencia North railway station. This view was taken at dawn. HFF everyone and have a great weekend.

Ich wünsche allen Ipernitys ein schönes Wochenende!

Only the ghosts of animals remain behind these bars. This photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Distagon 1:4 f=50mm lens and Zenza Bronica 67mm SY44•2C(Y1) filter using Ilford FP4 Plus 125 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.

A view across the low water of 'Ladybower dam' revealing a fence normally about 9 metres below the surface - the water level is now rising due to recent rains but some ruins of the flooded village of 'Derwent' can still be seen in the distance. The emptied and partly demolished village disappeared in 1944 when the reservoir was created. Some gateposts are still seen from when the land was farms and cottages.

Windlust is a octagonal smock mill, which was built in 1860 and raised in 1880. Fourty years later a brick engine-house was added to the base of the mill. In the 1930s the mill worked mostly by engine, but by wind during World War !!. After the war the condition of the mill deteriorated and it ceased working in 1953. Around 1960 it was restored and some years later left to the foundation De Oosthoek . Windlust is a so called stellingmolen ; the stage is 6.20 meters above the ground. The mill has a brick base and the smock and cap are thatched. Nowadays Windlust - a flour mill - is still in working order and is kept running by volunteers. The mill - listed as a Dutch national monument - can be visited on most Saturdays.
