The Flickr Vollemaan Image Generatr

I was planning to take a shot from the moon through a branch, however with the 10 sec delay walking and a car aproaching there was no time to change or stop the picture from taking. First night foto with the Tamron 24-70 mark1 on an EOS 80D. I am pleased with the result.

Ellen ten Damme (1967) is a Dutch actress, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. She appeared in numerous Dutch and German television series and films. As a singer, Ten Damme performs as a solo artist and with bands.

Ellen ten Damme was born in Warnsveld, The Netherlands in 1967. She grew up in Roden, a municipality in the province of Drenthe. Ellen attended Nienoord College in Leek, in the province of Groningen, and studied Dutch literature at the University of Groningen for several years. Finally, she graduated from the Academie voor Kleinkunst in Amsterdam, where she concentrated on piano playing. Later, she also took up the violin and guitar. As a result of her extreme shyness as a child, she wanted to express herself by dressing in brightly coloured clothes, which her mother condemned. Later, she expressed this in rebellious behaviour and performing in bands. She then found her way by expressing herself in a variety of art forms. As a teenager, she was a top gymnast and trained about three hours a day. She quit gymnastics at 16, but in doing so, she had laid the foundation for her sometimes acrobatic theatre shows. Ten Damme made her acting debut as Maria Machita in Paul Ruven's short musical film De tranen van Maria Machita / The Tears of Maria Machita (1991), for which she was nominated for a Golden Calf Award in the Best Actress category. She played the role of Dédé in De kleine blonde dood / The Little Blonde Death (Jean van de Velde, 1993) with Antonie Kamerling and Olivier Tuinier. It won the Golden Calf for Best Feature Film. She gained greater fame as the sidekick Joosje in the acclaimed lawyer drama series Pleidooi / Plea (Mike van Diem, a.o., 1993-1995). She also had a recurring guest role in the cult TV show Jiskefet (1995-1997). Ellen ten Damme started to work in Germany and starred in the romantic Heimatfilm Westerwald / Wild Western Forest (Bernd Löhr, 1995). Dutch films such as All Stars (Jean van de Velde, 1997) with Daniël Boissevain and Antonie Kamerling and No Trains No Planes (Jos Stelling, 1999) with Kees Prins and Katja Schuurman followed. A blockbuster in the Netherlands was the coming-of-age film Volle Maan / Full Moon Party (Johan Nijenhuis, 2002) with Daan Schuurmans, Cas Jansen and Michiel Huisman. In 2000, Ten Damme played an English language leading role in the Irish film drama Conamara (Eoin Moore, 2000). She also had supporting roles in the Dutch film Interview (Theo van Gogh, 2003) starring Katja Schuurman and Pierre Bokma and in the family film trilogy Mijn vader is een detective / My Father is a Detective (Will Wissink, 2009-2012) with Cees Geel. She appeared again alongside Pierre Bokma in an episode of the British TV series Dalziel and Pascoe (2006). In Germany, she acted in the TV film Das Leuchten der Sterne / The Shining of the Stars (Adolf Winkelmann, 2007) as the mother of a terminally ill disabled boy and played in two episodes of the popular Krimi series Tatort / Crime Scene (2002-2019).

Ellen ten Damme sang on several film soundtracks, including the clueless comedy Honneponnetje / Honeybun (Ruud van Hemert, 1988). She was almost chosen for the leading role in the film, and the producers felt sorry for her because she didn't get the part, so she was chosen to sing for the soundtrack the song 'Trust in a Feeling'. She recorded it as a single under the name Ellen D. As a singer, she performed in 1996–1997 with the new wave band Soviet Sex, which featured painter/photographer Peter Klashorst. Solo, she released the albums 'Kill Your Darlings' (1995), 'I Am Here' (2001), 'Impossible Girl' (2007), 'Durf jij?' (Dare You?, 2009), 'Het regende zon' (It Rained Sun, 2012), the German-language album 'Berlin' (2014), the French-language album 'Paris' (2017) and 'Casablanca' (2019). The last three she made with the Magpie Orchestra. Often, the albums were followed by tours. In 2002, she had a chart success in the Netherlands with the song 'Vegas'. In the clip, she kisses actress Katja Schuurman, who is dressed in a wedding dress. Ten Damme is well known in Germany thanks to her roles in several (television) films and her performances. She speaks and sings German with virtually no accent. In 2003–2004, she accompanied German rock musician Udo Lindenberg on the tour for his album 'Atlantic Affairs'. In 2005, Ten Damme took part in the German preselection of the Eurovision Song Contest with the song 'Plattgeliebt', composed by Udo Lindenberg. She did not win. The song's title was originally 'Plattgefickt' (fucked flat), but was tactically changed to 'Plattgeliebt' by Udo Lindenberg. The song is an anti-war song directed against George W. Bush and his policies on Iraq. In August 2009, Ten Damme performed in the international circus show 'Cirque Stiletto' directed by Stanley Burleson. This was followed by the theatre tour 'Durf jij? in which she sang Dutch songs by poet Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer. For both performances, she received the Gouden Notekraker (Golden Nutcracker Award). In 2013, she featured alongside Waldemar Torenstra in the World War II theatre comedy 'To Be or Not to Be', based on the Ernst Lubitsch film of the same name. In 2016, she performed as Maria in the music event The Passion. From 1998 to 2004, Ellen ten Damme was married to German actor Markus Knüfken, with whom she acted in the dark crime comedy Bang Boom Bang - Ein todsicheres Ding / A Sure Thing (Peter Thorwarth, 1999). She then had a long-term relationship with guitarist Robin Berlin and then with photographer Danny Ellinger. Since 2020, she has been with pianist Ringo Maurer. Ten Damme contracted breast cancer three times and healed from it all three times, in 2005, 2017 and 2022. In 2022, Ten Damme stated to the public prosecutor that rapper Ali B had raped her during the filming of the TV show Ali B and the Music Caravan in 2014. Her statements were included in the trial against Ali B. He was found guilty by the judge in 2024 of the attempted rape of Ten Damme and rape in another case. Ellen ten Damme's most recent film is Paradijs / Paradise (Bobbie Koek, 2024).

Hola vrienden🎄.
Fijne dromen😴15/12.
Gisteren zaterdag 14 december 2024 was het Volle Maan en licht bewolkt. Tijdens onze wandeling in Los Boliches Fuengirola maakte ik om 19:15 uur deze foto van de maan boven een verlichte patio die je om de zoveel meter aantreft op de Boulevard.
