• Blue Hour In Warsaw’s Castle Square – I’ve seen on a bit of a hiatus from flickr over the past several weeks as I spent a couple of weeks in Europe over the Summer before heading back to Virginia and Washington DC for our annual family trip to visit our good friends in Loudoun County. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks digging out, and am just now getting to the growing pile of shots from over the Summer. I thought I would begin with a shot from one of my favorite spots from my two week trip to Europe. The folks I was with had scheduled stops in Warsaw, Lublin, Poniatowa, Krakow and finally Magdeburg Germany. Our first stop was in Warsaw where I was immediately struck by by the overall beauty of the Old Town section of the city and Castle Square. As some of you may be aware, Warsaw was completely flattened by the Nazis as they pulled out toward the end of World War II. As you walk through the restored Old Town area, there are walls lined with photos where you can see that the castle, churches, homes business….almost every structure in the city was reduced to rubble. Like many other European cities, Warsaw rebuilt it’s older section of the city with painstaking detail using many of the original bricks that were in piles through that section of the city. Once you move past Old Town, the modern section of the city is growing at an incredible rate. Several new high rise buildings were going up all around the downtown area of the city where the large Soviet era government building is now slowly becoming dwarfed by several new glass paneled modern structures. Across the river, the new Olympic stadium glows at night and has now become part of the cityscape visible from several spots along the Vistula (Wisla) River. But my favorite spot, by far, was the amazing Castle Square located just behind the Royal Castle along the river. In the center of the square stands the Column To King Sigismund III Vasa, which apparently survived the bombing in the war. On the castle side of the square you can look out over the river below. Behind the Column lies old town, all of which had to rebuilt. Cafes and shops and churches surround the entire square. The square has been the location for several key moments in Polish history, including the January uprising and, more recently, the location where Clinton welcomed Poland to NATO in 1997. by WJMcIntosh via http://flic.kr/p/xbkDPT

• Bald Eagle Parents Watching Over the Nest – Nest # 2 I was going through some old photos from this season and came across this one of both parents in the nest tree. For those that have been following the eaglets since the beginning, you can tell mom is on the left (with the drooping pupil) and dad on the right. Believe it or not this is the only photo I have of both of them in the nest, unlike nest # 1 both of the parents would often be in the tree together. The perching branch that they are on came down in a windstorm back in June and used to be a favorite perching spot for mom. Tough times for eagles in the first year, a local raptor rehab recently brought in 18 youngsters with a variety of injuries. Here’s to wishing them a safe journey north for the salmon runs. by T0nyJ0yce via http://flic.kr/p/wcytLq

• So where is everybody? – Handheld le in the Copenhagen Metro, Denmark. Did some adjustments to contrast, noise, sharpness and color. See untouched raw file below. The problems I had with stray light in the start I fixed by zooming in and I also used my Copenhagen map to form a cylinder and holding it around the lens. This helped a lot on the reflections from the glass. For stability I pushed the lens towards the windshield. I guess for even better results you should bring a black blanket and some duct tape. (You could replace the duct tape with an assistant, whichever is the easiest) Expect some staring either way. I bought a day pass and did 5 rides back and forth the M2. I got of and turned when the line left the underground. All done in an hour or so. Update: Thanks a lot for the kind comments today! changed the title around a bit. Couldn’t really nail this one. However the image is probably enough alone:p Easy way out was just quoting Enrico Fermi.. Further reading here: http://ift.tt/1sYcxQ5 Wiki: Copenhagen Metro (Danish: Københavns Metro) is a rapid transit system serving the cities of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, and Tårnby in Greater Copenhagen, Denmark. The 20.4-kilometre (12.7 mi) system opened between 2002 and 2007, and has two lines, M1 and M2. The driverless light metro supplements the larger S-train rapid transit system, and is integrated with DSB local trains and Movia buses. Through the city center and west to Frederiksberg, M1 and M2 share a common line. To the southeast, the system serves Amager, with the 13.9-kilometre (8.6 mi) M1 running though the new neighborhood of Ørestad, and the 14.2-kilometre (8.8 mi) M2 serving the eastern neighborhoods and Copenhagen Airport. The metro has 22 stations, of which nine are underground. In 2013, the metro carried 55 million passengers. by Bhalalhaika via http://flic.kr/p/x5ZutU

I am so tired and achey and can barely type after an intense 5 days of moving however just wanted to , like this amazing wave, drop in here quickly and say hi ….should be back on here in a regular capacity I would think by the end of the week. Hope all goes well you :) by rosiebondi via http://flic.kr/p/x5hjqj

• Badlands Overlook at Sunset – After trying a couple of times I found my way out to the western end of the mesa at Lybrook, New Mexico. The one with all the communications towers. It was a matter of trial and error, and the effort put a few more scratches on the sides of my truck. But once there I had a great view to the south and west. The land below appears to offer many opportunities for hiking and photography, but I couldn’t find a way down from the top. Using Google Earth I found a way to drive to within about a mile of the bottom and what seems to be an easy hike up a dry wash. I’ll return maybe next month when it’s cooler. Stay tuned for more … by snowpeak via http://flic.kr/p/wRqPkN
