Their sweet scent attracts bees and bumblebees and even wasps are infatuated.

Invasion

Julia Martin — 2008-08-25T00:00:00Z

Invasion: This Passion flower is growing on my terrace. It's literally taking possession of it because it's still becoming larger and larger. It's interesting to watch the blossoms open up. They don't move slowly, they pop up and the parts of the blossom move in a jerky way. Some of you know that I had some exams lately which I have passed successfully. On August 1st I have started a new job as an operational assistent in my hometown's hospital. Looks like I was lucky to get that job because my new colleagues are very nice and I feel already integrated. I like the work and it's a great ease to be at work within 5 minutes instead of needing 1 1/2 hours.

Pattern in b/w

Julia Martin — 2008-08-23T00:00:00Z

It was Louis' idea to convert this to b/w. It's not only a conversion but also emphasizing and colouring the edges. (I don't know if "edge" is the right English word in a photographical context.)

Dragon

Taken at the Chinese Garden, Frankfurt am Main, Germany Playing with effects (B/W focus) I had the impression that the original strong green distracted the view from the dragon. So I reduced the colour.

A Zebra plane called Duck

Julia Martin — 2008-08-05T00:00:00Z

Dr. Grzimek's famous plane Ente (germ. Ente = engl. duck). Not a great picture, it's more about the story behind it. Bernhard Klemens Maria Grzimek [ ˈgʒɪmɛk ] ( April 24, 1909 - March 13, 1987) was a renowned zoo director, zoologist, book author, editor, and animal conservationist in postwar West-Germany. Grzimek is most famous for the work he undertook for the conservation of the Serengeti. He spent several years studying the wildlife there along with his son Michael, especially on areal observation and counts of large scale annual migrations. In 1959 Michael was killed in an aircrash while flying the Dornier Do 27 due to a collision with a Griffon Vulture. He wrote a best-selling book called Serengeti shall not die, which appealed enormously to the public and was key in driving the creation of the Serengeti National Park.
