The tall ship, Elissa, lowering sail as she prepared to enter the harbor. Galveston Historical Foundation brought Elissa, an 1877 square-rigged iron barque, from a scrapyard in Piraeus Harbor, Greece to Galveston to begin restoration work in 1978. By 1982, GHF staff and volunteers completed restoration and transformed this historic vessel into a floating museum that would actively sail. Today, the 1877 Tall Ship is one of only three ships of her kind in the world to still actively sail.
This had been sitting on my bucket list, for a long while. I was thrilled to be able to capture this sunstar, behind Wizard Island. The weather was very unpredictable, with a clouds and snow forecast every day. My first luck was to be able to find a room at the Crater Lake Lodge, which had recently opened after winter closure. Being a light sleeper, I kept looking out the window, every time I woke up during the night, in the hope of seeing some clearing, to have some sun for my sunrise. I also had the bonus luck of capturing some moonlit night images, which I'll post at a later time.
This is a three 24mm horizontal image panorama.
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments and visits.

Au début du XXe siècle, Georges Turpault, un filateur de Cholet, achète une vieille demeure et le terrain attenant sur la pointe de Beg-er-Lann, située au sud-ouest de la côte Sauvage de la presqu'île de Quiberon.
Il confie à l’entrepreneur Hippolyte Jamet la construction d'un château de style Anglo-médiéval qu'il baptise «le château de la mer». Sa construction se déroule de 1904 à 1910.
Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le château est occupé par l'armée allemande qui y construit deux blockhaus en le dégradant fortement. En 1946, à la sortie de la guerre, Mme Turpault vend le château au maire de Quiberon, Marcel Robert. Ce dernier va le restaurer partiellement avant de le revendre à Ferdinand Richard en 1967.
D'importants travaux de restauration sont effectués par la famille Richard. Mis en vente en 2010, le château trouve un nouvel acquéreur en 2014 - source wikipédia
Ce château fait partie des sites les plus connus de Bretagne. "Il est à Quiberon ce que la Tour Eiffel est à Paris" disait l'ancien maire de la ville. Une image emblématique qui attire photographes et curieux depuis plus d'un siècle. Etant toujours une propriété privée, ce château ne se visite pas.

My first real view of Dartmoor, Devon. Grey Wethers Stone Circles are just visible down from the horizon on the left hand side. Zeiss ExoLens (Wide-Angle), Manfrotto Tripod, Hisy remote, ever so gently tickled in Snapseed on iPad Air.
Malgré des températures polaires et des vents arctiques, ce rosier de mon jardin semble se porter à merveille.......sauf que tous ces boutons ne s'ouvriront pas ! Pour vous dire, les buissons juste à côté sont remplis de glace !!!
Despite very low temperatures which make us think we live in the South Pole, this rose tree is full of rosebuds in my garden. But they won't bloom !

EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, Heizkraftwerk Stuttgart-Münster along the Neckar River in Stuttgart.
The heat and power plant in Stuttgart-Münster is a special feature of this particular power plant in that the focus of the plant is not only on electricity generation, but also on thermal waste treatment and district steam heating generation.
