Perhaps another image which finds its beauty in B&W. The original green color was not a shade I was fond of! This was the parting glimpse I had of the beautiful canal that feeds into the lake of the backwaters. There are a few more images of the lake that are coming soon before we leave this beautiful place.

Cologne Gold by Jacob Surland Fine Art Photographer

190 36

I don't know if there ever was Gold in Cologne, but if there was, they must have put it into this into this bridge. When I got close, I could see there is is another kind of gold on the bridge. It's full of padlocks hung by lovers. I have never ever seen so many padlocks in one place, as on this bridge. It's from one end to the other.

Finally we got to see the Milkyway ........ by John Finnan

126 32

After being in Tasmania for 10 days and nights we had a starry sky to shoot for a few hours

We arrived here about 11pm after capturing the sunset at Binalong Bay

I got up at 3am to capture this as I needed to wait for the Milkyway to position itself east/west over the Eddystone Point Lighthouse in the Bay of Fires .

There was suppose to be low level Aurora activity most of that week

I used the parking lights on my car to light the lighthouse

I probably should have still lightpainted the immediate foreground

The grounds here were full of wildlife including several wombats feeding on the fresh grass shoots

I went back for a quick sleep before sunrise only to wake to a windy and wet change , so I just got these shots

This is a seven shot stitch

Lion cub by Rebecca Bugge

Do not use without permission.

A lion is perhaps not what springs to mind when seeing this, but the information sign next to this little waterfall, at the Shinto shrine Kanda-myōjin in Tokyo, will tell you that it is. And it is not as strange as is sounds. This is a komainu, a lion-dog, a common guardian at shrines and temples in Japan - but they are sometimes (such as here) also referred to as stone lions.

This is actually just one in a set of three, the cubs parents are at the top of the rock (or mountain, as it is actually written in Japanese, even though it is not translated as such), looking down on their offspring. The parents are quite old, believed to have been carved in the 18th century, but the cub disappeared and the original rock (mountain) destroyed in the devastating earthquake of 1923. The cub and the rock was reconstructed and reunited with the original lions in 1989, in celebration of the new emperor.
