The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.

Sankt Wolfgang ist ein Ortsteil der Stadt Bad Griesbach im Rottal im niederbayerischen Landkreis Passau.
Der Legende nach soll sich der heilige Bischof Wolfgang von Regensburg auf seiner Wanderung ins Salzkammergut im Jahr 976 in dieser Gegend verirrt haben. Ein geworfenes Beil zeigte ihm den Weg aus dem Wald. An der Stelle, an der das Beil aufschlug, entstand die Wallfahrtskirche St. Wolfgang.

Il ponte della Priula sul fiume PIAVE
Geografia .
Ponte della Priula si estende all'estremità sud-ovest del comune di Susegana, in un'area pianeggiante sulla riva sinistra del Piave.
Storia
Sin dall'epoca romana questa zona ha rappresentato un punto nevralgico nei collegamenti stradali. Si ritiene che il ponte della Priula abbia quindi origini antichissime e vide il passaggio di numerosi eserciti invasori. Un tempo costruito in legno, fu distrutto e ricostruito più volte e venne bruciato dai Francesi nel 1807. Solo ai primi del Novecento fu rifatto in pietra e cemento. Gli ultimi gravi danneggiamenti risalgono alla Grande Guerra.
L'appellativo "della Priula" si riferisce ai patrizi veneziani Priuli che possedevano una Villa poco lontano

Oia typifies the white-painted houses of the Cyclades, in many cases built directly into niches which are cave houses used by crew of the ships, on the lip of the volcanic crater, between which are narrow alleys and churches with cupolas. These houses are seen built in succession one above the other.

First light on Oregon's Smith Rock, reflected in Crooked River.
I posted a technicolor version of this image yesterday. I rendered another version in b/w. While I like the color version, I prefer this monochome version. Sometimes b/w is simply more dramatic, IMHO.
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated!
A day to rejoice in the splendor of all living things. Each and every one of them is a gift that cannot be replaced.
May your day be blessed. Merry Christmas everyone.

Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.
Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.

Doi Inthanon is the highest mountain in Thailand. In 1954, the forests around Doi Inthanon were conserved, creating Doi Inthanon National Park, as one of the original 14 national parks of Thailand.
On the main road to the summit of Doi Inthanon stand two adjacent chedis, one called Naphamethinidon, meaning "by the strength of the land and air", and the other, Naphaphonphumisiri, meaning "being the strength of the air and the grace of the land". These temples were built to honour the 60th birthday anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 1987, and the 60th birthday anniversary of Queen Sirikit in 1992, respectively.
Now regarding the image: It is pano shot of 4 images each taken at 15mm, F/8, 1/125 Sec, ISO 100 with exposure bias set at +0.7 step - all handheld. This picture was taken from a small cliff near by the campus, one has to climb up here in order to capture the full panoramic view of this beautiful place!
The weather was very foggy and the views were not clear. We were waiting for the fog to get clear as it was constantly moving and clearing for few minutes in-between.
