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.
La comarca de Sayago nos regala paisajes increíbles, la belleza de las paredes de piedra, los Arribes del Duero y, como no, bellos atardeceres.
En esta comarca parece que la vida brotara de las piedras.

Sulla volta gli intensi colori dell'affresco "L'Incoronazione della Vergine" opera barocco-rococò (1697) di Filippo Tancredi (Messina, 8 novembre 1655 – Palermo, 1722).
In una zona ad alta concentrazione di scrigni storico-artistici, giusto tra la Cattedrale e il Palazzo arcivescovile, si trova la chiesa dei Santissimi Pietro e Paolo, edificata alla fine del ‘600 come cappella dell’adiacente Infermeria dei Sacerdoti, oggi nella sua veste del 1897 dell’architetto Francesco Paolo Palazzotto, che in quel “distretto” non sfigura affatto. Basti osservare il fastoso portale disegnato da Paolo Amato con colonne tortili fiorate e coronato dalla statua dell’Immacolata che immette nell’edificio.
L’interno, progettato dallo stesso architetto, è un’unica aula con due altari laterali con nicchie, frontoni curvi e spezzati, e sculture illuminate dalla luce proveniente dalle grandi finestre. Le statue dei due santi cui è dedicata la chiesa sono state realizzate da Vincenzo Messina. Non manca la mano della superstar dell’epoca, Giacomo Serpotta, cui sono attribuiti gli stucchi che rappresentano le “Allegorie di Ercole” che decorano l’altare di San Ferdinando, le allegorie della Verginità e della Vittoria dell’altare di Santa Rosa, e i due medaglioni con “La Consegna delle chiavi a San Pietro” e “La conversione di San Paolo” sui pilastri del presbiterio. La volta raffigurante “L’Incoronazione della Vergine” è stata affrescata da Filippo Tancredi nel 1697.

Mt. Wilbur is just one of the iconic peaks in Glacier Park's Many Glacier area. It rises 4500 feet above Swiftcurrent Lake. The Ptarmigan Wall forms a rugged steep narrow ridge to it's NE. Also known as the Pinnacle Wall by some.
Iceberg Lake is in the corner junction where the Wall meets Wilbur. A highly recommended hike. Some pics of this pretty lake in comments.
Thanks for a taking a look!

There is hardly a better place in my area to enjoy a perfect Autumn day than the open-air -museum in Detmold. We spent a whole day in beautiful sunshine without a cloud in this lovely location.
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.
Back to Scotland with this long exposure of the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow, taken this morning. Don't let the patch of blue sky fool you the sky was mostly blanketed with cloud until I got back home at which point the sun came out - just my luck!
Castle 'Rentweinsdorf' or rather: the lovely Maple tree in front of it.
Rentweinsdorf is a Commune in the administrative district "Haßberge".
I have visited the like named Nature Park "Haßberge Hills" whose extensive mixed forest is criss-crossed by numerous footpaths.
Wonderful to hike there in autumn !
The region is unusually rich in historic castles and palaces, of which over 40 survive either as ruins or are still lived in. Several once heavily fortified towns at the edge of the range still have historic centres.

Goldener Herbst in Unterfranken
Schloß 'Rentweinsdorf' oder besser: der wunderschöne alte Ahornbaum davor in seinem schönsten Gewand ;-)
Die gleichnamige Gemeinde Rentweinsdorf liegt im Naturpark "Haßberge", dessen ausgedehnte Mischwälder von zahlreichen Wanderwegen durchzogen sind.
Herrlich, dort im Herbst zu wandern, wenn der Mischwald seine leuchtendsten Farben zeigt.
Ungewöhnlich ist der Reichtum des Landstriches an historischen Burg- und Schlossanlagen, von denen über 40 als Ruinen erhalten blieben oder noch bewohnt werden. Mehrere ehemals stark befestigte Städte am Rand des Gebirges konnten sich ihre historischen Ensembles weitgehend bewahren.
Thank you for your kind visits and your comments :-)

Early morning in Wittlich Valley often very beautiful lighting effects at the time of sunrise, as fog or mist filters the light of the rising sun (may,24, 2012, 5:30 am).
morgens gibt es in der Wittlicher Senke oft besonders schöne Lichtstimmungen um die Zeit des Sonnenaufgangs, weil Nebel oder Dunst das Licht der aufgehenden Sonne filtert (24.05.2012, 5:30 Uhr).

The DeKalb County Courthouse is located in the county seat of DeKalb County, Illinois, U.S.A., the city of Sycamore. The Classical Revival structure sits on a square facing Illinois Route 64 as it passes through the city. The current courthouse was constructed in 1905 amid controversy over where the courthouse and thus, ultimately, the county seat would be located.[3] The current building is the third structure to bear the name "DeKalb County Courthouse." DeKalb County's Courthouse still serves as the county's primary judicial center and is a contributing property to the Sycamore Historic District.
