Critique Octoberfest 2018 – Kry27 – D3&200/2 – Day 31

[Pa]

Coming home, I realised I had not yet taken a pictue of that specific piece of decoration. It's an arch for roses, but they've yet to grow. Here and there, we arranged such bundles of japanese cherry or hazel rods in our garden - be it in the pergola, be it here. We're a bit into wood and rust...

Day 9 - Birdies

That 200/2 really has beautiful bokeh.

 

[Gordo]

6 - outdoor fondue - had never thought about that. Cool.

7 - Neat burn on the piece of wood, good colors.

8 - neat landscape, shaggy cattle.

9 - I'll bet that will look wonderful once the roses fill in.

Really enjoying your thread, Roland. A happy belated birthday! With such mild weather it would be a shame to eat fondue indoors at the moment.
The children are certainly growing up and it is nice to see a few of the local landmarks.

D9 - very beautiful image with the creamy background.

 

[Kry27]

Really nice shot, with the color contrast and composition.

Thank you!

Oh yes, Pa.

Yes, I agree, can't wait for the roses to bloom next season.

I love it for that.

Nothing special today, fall back theme: Coming home, I sneaked into the garden, as I could hear Mayla speaking. She had not realized I was there, yet:

Day 10 - Heavy duty
Pushing that thing through the grass just for fun

Then she spotted me -> Bucket​

Nice capture... she's really focused on her job...

 

[Naptown]

At that age they don't think it's work.

 

[Phil K]

Great capture. Priceless.

 

[Harry Lavo]

Today, I stopped on my way back home to take a picture of the wider, swamp like landscape "Neeracher Ried". It's easy to meet wild life (especially birds), but cattle also... I liked the trees in the background:

Day 8
Quick glance out of the car window (while stopping of course)

Beautiful lighting on this Roland. Good eye!

 

[Harry Lavo]

Interesting arbor and very nice photo, Roland.

 

[kilofoxtrott]

Oh yeah...
Brothers can be exhaustive

Well shot
Klaus

 

[Kry27]

Yes - that's always the case if she chooses her jobs by herself. Would mama or papa say to do so... well, not so much

At that age they don't think it's work.

Exactly. She has her own standards, already.

Great capture. Priceless.

Thank you!

Thank you, Harry. Yes, that evening light made me stop, and saved Day 8 for me

I know, I got one

Sorry, I have to catch up - both posting my own images, and replying to your threads. I had a lot to do in the evening, both funny (playing badminton with my brother, yesterday) and less so (a. organizing of who and when will help the rest home with my mother, suffering from Alzheimer's and not going very well by now, and b. all the planning and the application for construction permit, as we want to add a carport).

I will certainly catch up. So far:

Day 11 - Spotted a cow on my way home

That's the restaurant and guesthouse across the street from where I work. We go there for lunch whenever we have guests for business meetings. The cuisine is excellent, medalled by Gault Millau, and the head chef has also won the "2002 World Barbecue Championships" held in San Diego - helpful for those who like grilled meat, at the outdoor events in summer.

The plaque on the wall says that in 1779, the Duke of Weimar (GER) and his privy councillor and poet laureate Johann Wolfgang von Goethe found a doss, there.

Day 12 - Goldenes Kreuz
(the golden cross)

And a yellow cow, to boot! Good catch.

That does look like an interesting restaurant. I would like to visit some time.

 

[Naptown]

Looks like a welcoming place to stay.

Ah, so the cow (bull?) makes more sense now. What an interesting looking building. Would love to see some day shots too.

Roland you've been capturing some wonderful memories for the family album.

Cool cow. A "Yellow Cab" looking cow. Best of wishes for you and your family, dealing with aging parents and their health issues can be quite stressful for all involved.

Nice. Makes me want to stop in for a bite.

D11 - Very bright colours, and nice cow.

D12 - A beautiful old house, and very nice evening light.
