Ring around the sun this morning. My Dad always said this means a change in the weather. I hope he is right, it has been -27°C for the last few days with snow and blowing snow on Tuesday. Ready for a warm up!!

We went into the city (Ravensburg, Germany) for lunch today and I brought my camera along. The second image is a two row vertical panorama HDR of 5 shots in each row. The lens used is a Canon EF 16-35mm F4

1. The Evangelische Stadtkirche (Protestant Town Church) is a striking Gothic church located on Marienplatz in the heart of Ravensburg, originally built in the mid-14th century as the monastery church of the Carmelite order and consecrated in 1349. The church's walls were built primarily from rough-cut rubble stone, with dressed ashlar used only sparingly — a reflection of the limited availability of suitable building material in the area around Ravensburg. Its most prominent exterior feature is its tower, the tallest in Ravensburg, which was added in 1844 on the south side of the choir, replacing two earlier chapels that had stood there since the 15th century.

2. Around 1400, the structure had taken shape as a three-aisled columned basilica with a tall rectangular choir, and as a mendicant church it featured flat wooden beam ceilings rather than vaulted ones. With the arrival of the Reformation in Ravensburg around 1544, the building was divided between the two confessions — the nave became the Protestant place of worship while the choir remained with the Catholic Carmelites — a separation that lasted until the monastery was dissolved in 1810, at which point the entire building passed to the Protestant congregation. The church is renowned for its remarkable stained glass, including unique "Reformatorenfenster" (Reformation windows) and choir windows by artist Hans Gottfried von Stockhausen depicting scenes from both the Old and New Testaments.

3. The 15th-century wall paintings in the church are some of its most intriguing hidden treasures, rediscovered and unveiled during mid-20th-century renovations.

Hi Bryan,

Wonderful shots of a breathtaking and history rich building - those interior shots are fascinating and draw the viewer in to pause and explore the details.

Well done - and thank you for sharing...

Hi David,

Fantastic! Loving your 'down in the sand' shooting angle. The kicked up droplets and eye/ beak sparkle being wonderful details.

(And what a little cutie!).

Thank you for sharing...

One of the results from an evening's sunset shoot in Slovenia. Not a huge amount of cloud and colour, but the fresh snow on the peak of Mt Storžič and some light cloud drifting in from the side and the low angle of the sun lighting Smlednik Castle, more than made up for it.

Hi Ian,

You know how to push our button - glorious mountains, dynamic weather (to say the least), foreground interest and a beautiful colour palette.

Absolutely wonderful capture - a real joy to behold.

Hi Only RF,

When time permits I do enjoy having a fiddle around with our standard output - flowers are a particular favourite (along with zoo animals).

(Plus they're good for filling in when we've been busy with 'life stuff').

Three were a bunch of Little Grebe's chasing off competitors for spring mating. They were fast and fun to watch.
