Le lac de Montriond se trouve en Haute-Savoie sur la commune de Montriond, dans le Chablais français. Le lac est fréquenté par les pêcheurs et surtout par les promeneurs et randonneurs.
Le lac de Montriond est né suite à l'éboulement d'une partie de la montagne de Nantaux au Nord Ouest. Cet événement géologique non daté avec certitude (de 4500 ans à 3 ou 4 siècles !) a provoqué un barrage sur le torrent qui courait au fond de la vallée, d'où la formation du lac.
Lac de Montriond is located in the commune of Montriond in the French Chablais region of Haute-Savoie. The lake is popular with anglers and, above all, with walkers and hikers.
Lake Montriond was created when part of the Nantaux mountain to the north-west collapsed. This geological event, which has not been dated with any certainty (between 4,500 years and 3 or 4 centuries!), caused a dam to form on the torrent that ran along the bottom of the valley, hence the formation of the lake.

Kåkbrinken is the name of this small street in Stockholm Old Town (Gamla stan). The name is first attested in 1477. 'Brink' is not a word really used today, but mostly survives in names. It means a short slope. 'Kåk' is used today, it is slang for 'house' - and Kåken ('the kåk') actually means prison. But that was not what it meant back in the 15th century, then it meant pillory. This street was named after the pillory found on the square at one end of this street. But it is safe to say that most Swedes today would not know that is the case! (I myself, and I've studied history, found out when I read up on the name.)

Late afternoon in Coyote Buttes South area (Cottonwood Trailhead).
In the distant background burned a large fire, probably a forest fire near the Zion National Park. The smoke attracted miles to the Vermilion Cliffs.

Im fernen Hintergrund brannte ein großes Feuer, vermutlich ein Waldbrand in der Nähe des Zion National Parks. Die Rauchschwaden zogen meilenweit bis zu den Vermilion Cliffs.

Seen while walking the cliffs in the area Carvoeiro in the southern Algarve region of Portugal, recent rockfalls show the effect of coastal erosion. The stunning effects of nature on this sandstone is quite amazing to see.

For the people who live here, it`s the most beautiful place on earth, but for others it`s a place you do not want to stop. Not even for a cup of coffee. But maybe it`s all these small and big differences and the way we look at things, that make us all so unique.

By far the most memorable moment of our recent trip. As the young bull from my last post made his way down to the lake, the "teenaged" cow came up to greet him. They sniffed noses for a while and then both made their way down to the lake. Young love? The romantic in me likes to think so.
Thanks so much for your views and comments!

Stratford is a city on the Avon River in Perth County in southwestern Ontario, Canada, with a population of 30,886[1] as of 2011.
When the area was first settled by Europeans in 1832, the townsite and the river were named after Stratford-upon-Avon, England. It is the seat of Perth County. Stratford was incorporated as a town in 1859 and as a city in 1886.[4] The first mayor was John Corry Wilson Daly and the current mayor is Dan Mathieson. The swan has become a symbol of the city. Each year twenty-four white swans are released into the Avon River. The town is well known for being the home of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.
The surface of this river almost frozen, sun rise coloring the sky contrasting with mountains for the perfect paint.

Binghamton is a city in, and the county seat of, Broome County, New York, United States.[5] It lies in the state's Southern Tier region near the Pennsylvania border, in a bowl-shaped valley at the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers. Binghamton is the principal city and cultural center of the Binghamton metropolitan area (also known as Greater Binghamton, or historically the Triple Cities), home to a quarter million people.[2] The population of the city itself, according to the 2010 census, is 47,376.
From the days of the railroad, Binghamton was a transportation crossroads and a manufacturing center, and has been known at different times for the production of cigars, shoes, and computers.[7] IBM was founded nearby, and the flight simulator was invented in the city, leading to a notable concentration of electronics- and defense-oriented firms. This sustained economic prosperity earned Binghamton the moniker of the Valley of Opportunity.[8] However, following cuts made by defense firms after the end of the Cold War, the region has lost a significant portion of its manufacturing industry.
