    Thanks for all today's photos. It is too late at night for me to comment, but I will do so tomorrow.

    I found a plan showing where the 1:1 copy of the Rathausmann is supposed to be. I went there and discovered an empty plinth. I had read somewhere that this copy had been taken for renovation in 2018. It is clearly not yet back. The plaque on the plinth describes the story, but omits recent history!

    David,

    I hope they return that statue soon, if I understood correctly what happened. I'll never get over how wonderful the architecture is, that you show. The red rose looks beautiful. I can't find anything negative about it; it's such a nice photo. There can be variations on the types of roses etc., so that one could be better than the other subjectively (based on a person's likes or dislikes). But beauty is beauty and you captured it perfectly.

    Steve,

    That's great you joined us with a nice photo of a flower. That's wonderful that you had sunny weather also.

    David,

    A lot of those flowers were taken in the shadow of trees. You can tell which ones were in the shadows by looking at the shutter speeds. The large flowers are Rhododendron. I'm not sure, but I think sometime in the late 1970's all cables were installed underground. But there's still some that are above our streets.

    Dunlin,

    Thanks. I'm glad you like the squirrel photos. It was something unexpected that I saw, as I walked down the sidewalk along a street.

    I will keep an eye out for the statue in all its glory and you can be sure that I will post a photo!

    There is tons of "architecture" here, and lots of stories to go with it. I will post more if others dont find it too boring. (Let me know.)

    Thanks for your kind comments on the rose photo. This has been an interesting learning experience for me. As you can tell from the 240mm lens, I had to take it from about 10ft away! Avoiding burn out without making the image look flatter than it is in reality was not easy, as I said before.

    Apart from the fuchsias that I grow on my window sill (did I post any of those?), I dont often take pictures of flowers; but your example encouraged me this week.

    David

    I returned to taking photos of roses. The red ones are very difficult to accommodate on a photo. I have many failures; but I think this one is successful. In order to avoid burnout, I had to make the exposure 1.75 stops under what the camera wanted (i.e. -1.75 EV) and boost the midtones in PhotoLab.

    The red colour of that rose is so deep. Beautiful.

    I thought these three different coloured trees looked good together.
