The Colca Canyon is one of the deepest in America (about 3400 m - 11154 ft at its highest point), more than twice the depth of the Grand Canyon in the United States.
Here, at Condor's Cross, we already overhang the Colca river of more than 1200 m (3937 ft).

L'ALLEGRA BRIGATA DI SONIAGALLERY.
Tutti assieme appassionatamente per l'evento fotografico dell'anno,il Carnevale di Venezia.
Io e mio fratello gemello Michele (nikname Skiappa) ci siamo trovati in piazza San Marco vogliosi di scattare ed immortalare le più belle maschere veneziane in compagnia di Carlo,Alessandro,Adriana,Anna,Tonino ed Antonio componenti ed assidui frequentatori del gruppo Soniagallery.
E' bello e stimolante conoscere di persona amici che condividono la stessa nostra passione e che,spesso,ci troviamo in sana competizione tra i vari contest del gruppo.
Ringrazio Michi per essersi messo a disposizione scattando questa bella istantanea rinunciando quindi di comparire nell'inquadratura.....i selfie lasciamoli fare ai ragazzini,aahaahah ahahah ahaahhh !!!!
Grande giornata e splendida compagnia.

Som al Moianès i aviat es pondrà el sol, la Muntanya de Montserrat i a baix la masia de "El Salomó" són testimonis silenciosos d'aquest espectacle.
Vaig anar a fotografiar aus, va enfosquir i sense necessitat de canviar l'objectiu vaig poder fotografiar allò que veia.

Bound for Chicago, a Metra train sprints through Wheaton on a wintry Sunday morning. My intention had been to continue with my Thai agricultural series but, with the recent onslaught of arctic air here in the Upper Midwest, I decided to temporarily put the rice on ice :) Stay warm friends! Or, if you live in a warm climate, ice versa :)

In 1819, Sir Thomas Raffles negotiated a treaty whereby Johor allowed the British to locate a trading port on the island. The Sultan of Johor is the sovereign ruler of the Malaysian state of Johor. It all was leading to the establishment of the British colony of Singapore in 1819. The port was strategically located along the main trade route between India and China. Singapore became an independent republic in 1965. Nowadays the country has become one of the world's most prosperous nations, with a highly developed free market economy and strong international trading links. Tourism in Singapore is a major industry and is the 5th most visited city in the world. Along with this, it also has one of the world's lowest crime rates. Public transport is easy when visiting Singapore. This includes the well-known Mass Rapid Transit system. MRT trains are fully automated without driver!! Singapore is a green and clean city. It is also full of natural attractions and cultural heritage sites, from botanic gardens and nature parks to temples and museums. You can't miss the three monstrous towers of Marina Bay Sands which stand at the Marina Bay waterfront. Apart from the casino, the Marina Bay Sands also has a shopping mall, resorts, museums, theatres, an ice skating rink, and a Skydeck with an infinity pool.
Getting around Singapore by MRT (train) is simple. Singapore's public transport system is fast and efficient, and will whizz you to memorable attractions in no time. Samantha was surprised to see MRT trains are fully automated without driver! You also have a great view in the front of the train.
In 1819 onderhandelde Sir Thomas Raffles over een verdrag waarbij Johor de Britten toestond een handelshaven op het eiland te vestigen. De Sultan van Johor is de soevereine heerser van de Maleisische staat Johor. Het leidde allemaal tot de oprichting van de Britse kolonie Singapore in 1819. De haven was strategisch gelegen langs de belangrijkste handelsroute tussen India en China. Singapore werd in 1965 een onafhankelijke republiek. Tegenwoordig is het land één van de meest welvarende landen ter wereld geworden, met een hoog ontwikkelde vrije markteconomie en sterke internationale handelsbanden. Toerisme in Singapore is een belangrijke industrie en is de 5e meest bezochte stad ter wereld. Daarnaast heeft het ook één van 's werelds laagste misdaadcijfers. Openbaar vervoer is eenvoudig tijdens een bezoek aan Singapore. Dit omvat het bekende Mass Rapid Transit-systeem. MRT-treinen zijn volledig geautomatiseerd zonder bestuurder !! Singapore is een groene en schone stad. Het staat ook vol met natuurlijke attracties en culturele erfgoedsites, van botanische tuinen en natuurparken tot tempels en musea. Je kunt de drie monsterlijke torens van Marina Bay Sands die aan de waterkant van Marina Bay staan niet missen. Naast het casino heeft het Marina Bay Sands ook een winkelcentrum, resorts, musea, theaters, een ijsbaan en een Skydeck met een overloopzwembad. Samantha was verrast om te zien dat de MRT-treinen volledig geautomatiseerd zijn zonder machinist! Je hebt ook een geweldig uitzicht voorin de trein.
Last update of 2018, so time for a collage of the best pics that I've posted over the last year.
There have been some pretty tough times for me in my real world in the last year, but thankfully things are starting to look up. My girl side is always a welcome distraction, and although I don't dress up as much as I used to, I still love having a girly day when I can.
What really has rejuvenated my girl side was starting to go out again after giving it a miss for over a year. A couple of fabulous nights out to BNO and a welcome return to Torture Garden have been truly amazing, and it's been great to catch up with so many old friends and making some lovely new friends on the way too.
Thank you again to everyone that leaves comments or favourites my pics, it really is appreciated :)
I'm really looking forward to 2019, and wishing you all a Happy New Year.

Couldn't think of an adequate story to go with this image. I'm drawn back to what it means to me looking at it. All I could think about was this song. It reminds me of my older brother I guess. Perhaps because I sat alone when photographing this scene, watching the darkness envelope these beautiful mountains and wished I wasn't. It brought back memories of many a late night spent with my older brother when we were teens. I took great comfort and trust in our conversations, his advice and opinion. We talked about everything under the sun and I remember many times sitting together and watching the stars rise high in the skies like a million tiny lanterns. It was my brother who also showed me this song before he left for boot camp. Since then we've both grown up and moved to different states but I think of those nights often when I'm up late.
Here's to
starry skies and memories of long nights... to loved ones who were willing to sit with us in both the cover of darkness and in the beauty of light.
Thank you as always for listening to my ramblings...

What a First Order TIE Bomber would look like if it didn't just 100% copy the Imperial model.
Inspired by YouTuber E.C. Henry's original design.
Smoke and haze filled the air around Mt. Hood, OR as fires burned in Western Canada. A view from above timberline on the southern flank of Mt. Hood - late August 2018.
45 miles away, Mt Jefferson can be seen rising above the haze.

The Wildalpjoch is a 1720 meter high mountain in the Bavarian Alps. It is surrounded by the peaks of Wendelstein, Kesselwand, Soin and Hochsalwand. In the south is the Sudelfeld. It is a rather more frequented by locals and therefore less frequented than its neighbor Wendelstein. But you have almost the same view. In winter, the summit is a popular destination for ski touring enthusiasts.
I took the chance and used the last warm and sunny weekend for a wonderful hike and photography tour. You can see the Brünnstein mountain in the foreground and the Tyropl alps in the background. The warm falling wind the so called Föhn has blown the clouds away so that you have a beautiful distant view.
Aussicht vom Wildalpjoch-Gipfel - Bayern
Das Wildalpjoch ist ein 1720 Meter hoher Berg in den Bayerischen Alpen. Er ist umgeben von den Gipfeln des Wendelsteins, der Kesselwand, des Soin und der Hochsalwand. Im Süden liegt das Sudelfeld. Es ist ein eher von Einheimischen begangener Gipfel und somit weniger frequentiert als sein Nachbar Wendelstein. Man hat jedoch fast die gleiche Aussicht. Im Winter ist der Gipfel ein beliebtes Ziel bei Skitourengehern.
Ich habe das wohl letzte warme sonnige Wochenende für eine wunderschöne Wanderung und Fototour genutzt. Und es hat sich gelohnt, auch das schwere Tele mitzuschleppen :-)
Im Vordergrund könnt ihr den Brünnstein sehen und im Hintergrund die Tiroler Alpen.
Der warme Föhn hat die Wolken in Richtung Norden weggefegt, sodass man eine tolle Fernsicht hatte.

Thank you for your visits comments and favs! :-)
Autumn kittens. (3 kittens) 🍁🐈🍂 The best photo models 💛
These are not the same cats that I uploaded before (see photo in the first comment, there are 1 adult cat and 2 kittens).
I wanted to take more photos of these cats on Monday in the short lunchtime because we had some snow... but cats didn't want to walk in the snow 😂, they didn't want to get their paws cold... hahaha 😂 they were inside.
Well, of course... they are autumn cats, not winter cats. 😂
Finland, autumn 2018.
Many thanks to everyone for your visit, comments and faves! Much appreciated! 🌻
Have a wonderful day! 🍂🌼🍁
Happy Halloween! 🎃

Thamudic and Nabataean inscriptions, depicting camel caravans, hunting warriors and various animals, are common throughout the Wadi Rum area. The Alameleh inscriptions, near the Seven Pillars of Wisdom and on the edge of the Diseh district, are some of the most comprehensive and best preserved.
The desert trips with the jeeps are well organised and I would recomend the 4 hour jeep trip, any excursion will be organised for you by Mr khaled.

OK, some of you might prefer "Don't Marry Be Happy", but... ;-) I myself have no experience with being married whatsoever, so I can't really say what I'd prefer ;-)
Fun upload for the weekend, also for Smile on Saturday's theme "(K)NOT SO BAD!", Sliders Sunday, and 2DWFs "A New Beginning". I hope it qualifies for HSOS, there is a knot, albeit a rather small one. But I think it's an important one: the one that ties the tins - which are supposed to bring good luck and happiness to the couple - to the bride's car. Please forgive the sugary white vignette, I tried to get rid of as many other cars as possible, and I also thought a little kitsch would be OK ;-) This was taken at the parking lot of my favourite garden centre that is much more than a garden centre, the "Königliche Gartenakademie", which is very popular for family celebrations as well. By the way, the German nickname for Citroën's iconic 2CV/3CV car line-up is "Ente" (= duck) ;-)
HSoS and HSS, everyone :-) !
