The Ponta da Piedade (Mercy Point) is possibly the most beautiful natural feature of the Algarve coastline.
The shoreline is formed of heavily weathered limestone cliffs that have been carved into rock pillars, natural tunnels and hidden grottoes. The sandstone cliffs of misshaped angles stand at stark contrast to the deep turquoises and greens of the calm seas.
The Manor Wischlingen is located in the western district of Dortmund, Huckarde.
From the former knighthood Wischlingen, which had to be broken up in 1903 due to dilapidation, until today only the half-timbered chapel built in 1783 is preserved.Its foundations date back to a predecessor building built around the year 1400. The first Protestant service on Westphalian soil was celebrated here.The chapel was built as a half-timbered hall with roof rider and polygonal choir. After an initial repair in 1951, the chapel was restored in 1974 and 1975 and integrated into the Wischlingen park. In the chapel there is a wooden pulpit altar and burial plates of the families of Syberg and Sydow from the 17th and 18th. Century.
The house Wischlingen is listed as a monument, the Protestant chapel, the only sacred half-timbered building in Dortmund, as a monument in the monument list of the city of Dortmund.
Blustery weather over the late summer 'Machair' at the Luskentyre estuary on the west coast of Harris in the Western Isles of Scotland. The dune grass was still rich with wild flowers even this late in August.

One of the images that I thought was lost. Rannoch Moor is a magical place: the light and the weather are both totally unpredictable.This was taken on the last day of a 3 day shoot. The other 2 days were washouts! I love this shot with the grasses in the lochan and the reflection of the tough old bush. The misty veils were rising ahead of the sun, which came up behind me. Thanks to Ian Cameron.

The northern facade of the Neues Rathaus with its distinct tower, as seen from the Marienhof square.
Neues Rathaus means "New Town Hall". It was built in three phases from 1867 to 1909 in Gothic Revival style. This particular part dates to 1902.

I managed to get to Mote Park lake just in time to catch a few minutes of this early winter sunset - my first of this season. It was a very cold afternoon and the lake was frozen over as can be seen looking at the foreground.
*** Quite close to the majestic chalk formation of Old Harry Rocks are these other two impressive sea sculptures . In the foreground the solid looking one is called the Haystack and behind is the Pinnacle . In the background is part of the town of Swanage that was our base in Dorset
In the comments is a shot of Old Harry Rocks in case you missed it
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.
ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
I've driven through this junction hundreds of times and often wondered what this shot would look like. When I saw snow on the ground I knew that would give extra contrast so I parked up and went up onto a foot bridge to tkae the shot. I could not get a full sequence of the traffic lights in one exposure so this is 4 shots stacked in photoshop.

Would have liked the coot closer to the camera but also didn't want to lose the lovely pond surroundings & the reflections by focusing in too close so the coot had to stay distant:)
Enjoy a lovely weekend everyone & for those of you struggling with the heat, stay as cool as this coot!
"I concluded at the last to set up my staff at the library door in Oxon; being thoroughly persuaded, that in my solitude, and surcease from the Commonwealth affairs, I could not busy myself to better purpose, than by reducing that place, which then in every part lay ruined and waste, to the public use of students..."

my thoughts often wander when i am out making photographs, particularly early in the day, a time which is out of my normal rhythm, and this particular morning, as the sky began to evolve, to do the unexpected things i've now come to expect, my mind immediately flew to stravinsky, to the firebird.
not quite matched in mood, this scene being much more serene, the connection, still, is a good one, i think. the clip is a long one, but not the full suite, and the bonus is that this is a HD clip from the sydney opera house, and the show there was quite amazing.
the firebird. yes.

Looking north from Sgurr na Stri to Sgurr nan Gillean, Glen Sligachan and Marsco as an inversion sweeps in at sunset.
1947, an year to all known at this fishermen's land. in that december day, and night, a sudden storm vanished the dreams of all those men. the huge waves, the strong wind, the growing cold, all against those tiny boats. in one day, one single day, 152 were gone in the sea... and 71 widows were left with eyes on the ocean, with arms on the air.

Die Lagune von Bacalar (spanisch Laguna de Bacalar) ist ein See im Bundesstaat Quintana Roo in Mexiko, an dessen Ufer die namensgebende Stadt Bacalar liegt.
Die Lagune ist durch den Zusammenschluss von sieben Cenotes, also dolinenartigen Kalksteinlöchern entstanden, im deutschen Sprachgebrauch also ein See und keine Lagune. Aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Farben der Wasserfläche wird der See auch als Lagune der sieben Farben bezeichnet (spanisch Laguna de los Siete Colores).
Die Lagune von Bacalar ist einer der wenigen permanenten Wasserkörper auf der Halbinsel Yucatán. In der Regenzeit besteht zeitweise eine oberirdische Verbindung zu benachbarten Lagunen, dem Río Hondo oder der Bucht von Chetumal.
Überdies ist die Lagune bekannt für ihre Stromatolithen.
