Frank's daily photo 2017

[Frank F.]

For a year now I have been posting daily pictures on Nikongear and I continue it there: Your Weekly Blog Yet I know except for Gary and me not many people are on both forums, so I post my daily here too. On many days I post two different pics at two different places.

Catching up:

Is this being presented as 2 photos side by side or 1 photo? If 1, what is the purpose of combining them?

 

[Frank F.]

This are two photos that I saw on my screen an immediately thought that they belong in one frame. Which I then realized

 

[Frank F.]

Here is -- probably the better -- photo without combination:

Presented this way has much more context. Nicely done.

 

[Frank F.]

Thank you both. I took a lot of photos this morning and was in doubt, which of these could be my "pic of the day".

For example, a church I did not visit in many a year. I was interested how a Protestant church might feel like for me being a Catholic now in my 7th year (all D3 & 2.8/60mm):

Today, only a short stepping outdoors due to workload. I found a door open that is usually closed and took a quick moody snap of some birch trees in light drizzle & overcast sky:

Sep Ruf created a settlement for the High Commissioner of Germany in Bonn. The HiCoG-settlement is still there while the Americans are long gone. I remember friendship from my youth visiting Americans in this settlement before they returned to America. Pars pro toto, two buildings taken with the D600 & 105E from "the high rise" the first building with more thast 5 storeys in Bonn:

Interesting for members of a very authoritarian institution, some of our priests use the old anti-authoritarian baptising words: "I anoint you to be priest, king and prophet. Do not bow before any worldly power but only in front of your Lord, Jesus Christ" So Jesus, who was a PITA of the Jewish Establishment in his time, lets the foundations of Kingdoms, Empires and Institutions like the Roman Catholic Church shiver and crumble, because everybody is, in that perspective, entiteled to direkt access to a higher force, the highest.
