Nifty nasturtium by Vahlenkamp

Flowers are the poetry of reproduction. An example of the eternal seductiveness of life. Is it any wonder we love them?

Drizzling dusk by Vahlenkamp

The darkness was about to descend, while a light drizzle descended. A perfect ending to a long sunny day.

Flourishing fly by Vahlenkamp

Flowers flies or hover flies as they are also called, is a species-rich family with over 6,000 known species. These insects have many different rich colors and patterns. Many mimic bees and wasps, which gives them protection against, inter alia, birds.
This here found itself at home in the afternoon sun on a sunflower. A flower that they obviously like very much. No wonder, since it for the fly, is as big as a supermarket is for us.
It got virtually the entire store for itself. Well, it was not alone for long. Eventually some fellow species came visiting.

Just a minute remaining. A few seconds. I suck to me the power of the last rays of sun. Before darkness and silence descends.

Sober sundown by Vahlenkamp

Hurry now beloved, hurry to love.
The days darken minute by minute.
Ignition our lights. The night is approaching. Soon the thriving summer will end.

Let there be Enlightenment by Vahlenkamp

When I was in London, I visited the Natural History Museum. It is an absolutely stunning edifice and a world-renowned center of science and enlightenment.
This picture I took in what I regard as perhaps the most beautiful room in the edifice; The Waterhouse building.
This building is a London landmark and a work of art, and one of Britain’s most striking examples of Romanesque architecture. It was project designed by Alfred Waterhouse, a young architect from Liverpool.
