While browsing through my albums I stumbled upon this one and found it to still be one of my personal fav's :) So I hope you forgive me for resharing my own image again...
Wish you a lovely time!

.... Tried 3 times to post a batch of 3 images newly uploaded into an existing album and now I can't even find one of those posts..
Getting annoyed by the issues on imagesharing since the last update .. maybe time to quit adding and posting until +Google+ fixes the issues.

[ Added 01 image to my 'monochrome' 2013 album (http://goo.gl/j1iS8) ]
While working on the original image (see: http://goo.gl/g69El) I couldn't help but thinking it had some spacey look over it and had to give it a try :)
Colored, outside view at http://goo.gl/qZMCm
The background image (ohhh is it not really there? nooo its added) is by NASA and shows the Pioneer 10 Spacecraft, a 258-kilogram American robotic space probe that completed the first mission to the planet Jupiter and became the first spacecraft to achieve escape velocity from the Solar System.
Max speed: 82,021 mph (132,000 km/h)
Launch date: March 2, 1972
Cost: 200 million USD
In short: One heck of an expensive background image :P

View looking out from one of our campus buildings "Orion".
This is a handheld 3-shot hdr, mildly tonemapped for monochromemonday.
Full colored view of the building can been seen here: http://goo.gl/qZMCm
It gave me a little spacey feeling :D
Wish you a lovely Sunday and sweet tomorrow!

.. still haven't figured out how to share images from an existing album while keeping them in that album instead of having this new G+ (dis-)functionality duplicating (or as in my case: tripling even) them to the 'from posts' album and by that disconnecting comments and plusses from the original image... Anyone found a working solution yet?

.. so .. uhm .. how the heck do you share a newly added image in an existing album while keeping the album included, as it was before the new layout?
Pics I now add to existing albums and post, do NOT contain the album but are placed into the 'photos from post' location instead... sigh

[Added 01 image to my 'Buildings and..' 2013 album]
but that became useless since the new layout: posting an image which you add to an existing album no longer is linked with that album in the posting. Totally unlogical and very unpractical, to say the least.
Again a handheld 3-shot HDR. This is our most recent campus building, named ORION; taken into use last week.
Unfortunately it was bad weather (rainfall directly after this shots) so maybe later on one more against a happy blue sky with smiling bright white little clouds ;-)
A short videoclip is even available: http://youtu.be/4VIasNqw6uU

Or at least, so I hope since the new layout also made adding and sharing a new pic from an existing album quite different.. and not directly for the better.
Added: Apparently its not longer possible to share a newly added image from an existing album while keeping the link between the posting and the album .. massive_sigh
This is a handheld 3-shot hdr of FORUM, one of the main campus buildings at my workplace. Quite soon after a heavy rainfall came .. ieck.
Wish you a happy day :)

[Added 03 shots to my '(almost) Straight out of Camera' 2013 album]
Unedited shots, except for the added border.
These 3 have been taken with a macro extension tube fitted: a pain in da *** for getting an optimal manual focus without using a tripod or alike (which I always think about only after I'm finished :D tsk) but fun for its very small depth of field :)
Wish you a lovely remainder of your Sunday and a sweet start into the new week!

With 'The Last Resort' being my fav #1 by The Eagles and 'Hotel California' around #3 .. guess which one is #2 ;)
Have a Beautiful day - and a sweet night ;)

As probably all know the classic 'Hotel California', this one by The Eagles is my favorite, if not only for its lyrics.
The Last Resort
Wish you a sweet Sunday - be gentle to your environment!

Absolutely hilarious and a guaranteed smile-bringer :D
I only can't help but wonder how he knows the man's name is Will (at 1:01) since he never said it .. maybe not all that spontaneous after all but ah well, its hilarious anyways :D
Have a fun Sunday!

It was a nice day today, even a day off work for being Ascension Day, which I almost forgot again indeed, tsk, how typical :P
Wish you a lovely day / evening / night, whatever timezone you're in :)
Although I kept it a very soft HDR, maybe it still fits for #hdrphotography #hqsphdr +HQSP HDR

The Spanish government is considering a law to protect and promote bullfighting. The petition aims to formally categorize bullfighting as a "Cultural Interest Good" throughout Spain and Parliament has agreed to debate the issue later in the year.
--
If you too do think torment and death of animals for amusement, or for cultural reasons, should never be acceptable, then please help the voiceless bulls by heading over to the link below and sign the petition: it only takes one minute of your time.
The petition is approved and promoted by the WSPA (see http://goo.gl/0oEb4 for the complete text).

I stumbled upon some post-processing technique known as the "Dragan effect" and couldn't resist on giving it my very first, quick try.
It should give some more details and (my take on it) add a little more feeling of 'depth'. Yeah .. I need some more practicing on it, I know.. I know ;)
Wish you a lovely Sunday!

the capital of the Netherlands is...... nope, its not Kopenhagen where you are standing, mr. CNN reporter .. geesh
[the Netherlands; April 30, 2013]
After a 33-year reign, Queen Beatrix handed over to her son, Willem-Alexander, the country's first king in 123 years.
Among countless other international news channels, CNN was present as well to cover the rare event which took place in the capital of the Netherlands. Or was he in Denmark? Hmmm..
;)
I couldn't find a clip of it so I cropped this little clip from a longer recorded tv show of DWDD at http://goo.gl/rMtEY at timeframe 00:28:58

In The Spotlight –– Part 1 –– Circle Post
It's finally here, part 1 of my new In The Spotlight circle; with 100 great photographers! There will be four more to come so keep an eye open for this great circle series.
What's the In The Spotlight circle?
It's a circle for my favorite photographers as well as yourself and your favorite people (it could be people you know or people you admire but never interacted with). It's the hottest circle yet here on Google+, a circle you definitely want to be a part of. Just take a look at this first part and you'll know what I mean.
Who can participate?
Anybody. As long as the main focus is on photography. It's neither a pro circle, nor an amateur dito. It's a circle for great and active people loving the art of photography.
