La iglesia de Santa María La Mayor de Villacantid constituye un destacado ejemplo de arquitectura religiosa de estilo románico en el sur de Cantabria. el estilo de los templos de Cervatos, Elines y Retortillo, además recibe la influencia del románico del norte de la provincia de Palencia.
Es un extraño ejemplar, un templo "contorsionista", que se ha doblado sobre si hasta unir la portada con el ábside. Este extraño aspecto, es producto de las reformas sufridas en el s.XVII.
Parece que, avanzado el s.XIII, se eliminó la nave única, románica, y en su lugar se proyectaron tres naves, aunque se conservó la cabecera. Se alzó la nave norte, pero la sur quedó inconclusa, hasta que al comienzo del s.XVII se reformó la nave del evangelio y se añadió la parte inacabada de la epístola, en cuyo muro de levante se recolocó, pegada al ábside, la portada románica que antes estaba al costado meridional.
El resultado es un ejemplar único.

Athabasca Falls in September when the flow is low. This falls is not known so much for the height of the falls (76 feet, 23 metres), as it is known for its force due to the large quantity of water falling into the gorge. Can be tough to get a shot from this spot in the Spring. Lots of misty and spray.
Another must stop along the Icefields Parkway, which is in view on the other side of the river.
More shots in comments.
Many thanks for taking a look!
"Fangorn" is a Sindarin word that translates as "Treebeard" (from fang = "beard" and orn = "tree"). Entwood is a modernization of Old English Entwudu (wudu "wood"), so modernised because it was recognisable by speakers of Westron. Gondorians used that name, assimilated to their own language
"Fangorn" es una palabra Sindarin que se traduce como "árbol barbudo" o "Bárbol". "Entwood" es una modernización del término "Entwudu" del Inglés Antiguo, modernizado así porque era reconocible por los hablantes de Westron. Los Gondorianos usaban ese nombre, asimilado a su propia lengua.

Als ich noch ein Kind war wanderten wir häufig, mit der Schule, zu diesem Häuschen, um einiges über die Natur, aber auch über die Geschichte unserer Heimat zu lernen.
Damals waren noch sogenannte Totenbretter an den Mauern des Häuschens befestigt, mit teilweise doch sehr skurillen Sprüchen der Verstorbenen darauf, denen sie zu ihrem letzten Gang an ihre ewige Ruhestätte dienten.
When I was a kid we wandered frequently, with the school, to this house, to learn a lot about nature, but also about the history of our homeland.
In those days were known dead boards attached to the walls of the cottage, with partial but very droll sayings of the deceased on which they served at their last transition in their eternal resting place.

Amsterdam, Noord – Voormalig kraanspoor; langs deze 270 meter lange constructie van gewapend beton werden vorige eeuw mammoettankers van de Nederlandse Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) afgebouwd. Architect Trude Hooykaas redde het eind jaren negentig van de sloop, met haar ontwerp voor het transparante gebouw dat nu drie meter boven het oorspronkelijke Kraanspoor lijkt te zweven.
AMSTERDAM, Noord – former craineway; along the 270 metres long construction of reinforced concrete were last century supertankers of the Dutch dock and shipbuilding company (NDSM) phased out. Architect Trude Hooykaas saved the late nineties of the demolition, with her design for the transparent building that now three metres above the original craineway seems to float.

It is always fascinating to watch the Moon setting at the ocean. It was very foggy at Second beach that morning. But the bright Moon made the beach look amazingly beautiful.

Qu'est-ce qui fait le Charme d'Anglet? Son littoral, unique au Pays basque, avec ses 4,5 km de plages de sable fin.La promenade du littoral angloy longe les 11 plages, pour certaines de renommée internationale.
Mais aussi la belle pinède pour le plus grand bonheur des marcheurs.
La Plage des Cavaliers accueille chaque année d'importantes compétitions internationales du surf. Les vagues de 'shore break' peuvent etre très dangereuses.

Anglet forms part of the Biarritz-Bayonne-Anglet 'conurbation', on the Atlantic Coast in south-west France and running along the Adour River to the north.
The coast and beaches are the principal attraction here, and the beach at Anglet is pretty much the southern end of the very long (200km) stretch of beaches that run in a more or less continuous row from Arcachon to Biarritz.
As with most of the beaches along this part of Atlantic, the five kilometres of beaches in Anglet are typically long and sandy. Behind the beaches the landscape is mostly of open grassy areas and small forested areas, and there is a promenade popular with walkers, cyclists and joggers behind a large part of the beach.
To me, it was a wonderful experience to walk the 4,5 km trail close to the Ocean along Anglet's 11 beaches during high tide...
Anglet is a synonym for surfing. You will find some of France's best surf spots.

On Bringsty Common, near Bromyard in Herefordshire. The promise of a bright autumn morning. The view SE towards the west flanks of British Camp on the Malvern Hills ridge. Mist still lies in the hollows.
A sculpture of 15 wild horses has crowned a barren Central Washington hillside for more nearly two decades, but the rusted sheets of steel still are an inspiring sight to travelers along busy I- 90.
The 200-foot line of life-size charging horses, the creation of David Govedare of Chewelah, Wash., captures a mystical spirit from a time when real wild horses roamed the steppes.
Titled "Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies," the scene symbolically re-creates the Great Spirit turning loose a herd of wild horses above the Columbia River's Wanapum Lake.
slightly cloudy, fresh air, beautiful landscape, light and colors.
Quite a lot of visitors were enjoying a marvelous summer sunrise at Mather Point, Grand Canyon NP, USA.

The foothills of the mountains in the Southern Lakes are covered in trees. The acid soils and humid conditions encourage ferns and moss, sessile oaks and the most wonderful beech trees, many of which are copper beech. Holly, rowan and hazel grow here too - the perfect environment for wildlife. Bird song everywhere - just magic. Red squirrels also abide here, unseen (by me, quiet as I was), as they are small and quick.
We even had a pair of nuthatches visit our bird feeder. They became used to me, coming out for the special food I put out for them. They were raising families of course, and so their food was rich in protein. Not cheap, but worth it !
Taken from the top of our 'holiday retreat' path one morning. The light was so lovely.
Thank you as always for your kind comments, faves and invites - hope you feel inspired to visit this wonderful place.
