Downtown Dallas’ 72-story-tall Bank of America Plaza is reflected in the windows of the adjacent Texas Club building.
The Hauptplatz is the main square in the town of Landsberg. The Schmalzturm tower belonged to the first city wall, built in the early 14th century.

(88/366) The view overlooking our shallow wildlife pond this afternoon. It's quite Spring-like when the sun is out. The 40 or so clumps of frogspawn have all hatched & there are a few Whirligig beetles whizzing around on the surface HBM!

You know I like to do sunrises, unfortunately there was not a decent one all the time I was in Iceland. This was the closest I got. I do like the range of blue tones tinted by the pinks.

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.
all that is gold does not glitter
not all those who wander are lost
the old that is strong does not wither
deep roots are not reached by the frost

Years ago, I used to walk in a lovely beech wood. I never could remember exactly how to get there. Today, I found myself in it by accident ! I will not forget again.

If any one of you has lost something precious to you, I hope you find it again, whether it be material or spiritual.
Thank you, as always, for taking a look.
The Genoveva Castle of Mayen is one of the most important sights of the city in the eastern volcanic Eifel. The castle houses the "Eifelmuseum".

Letztes Jahr zeigten sich nur sehr wenige Schwalbenschwänze auf den Höhen der Südeifel, wo sie sich regelmäßig im Frühling und Sommer in 2 Generationen zum Hilltopping treffen.
Dieses Männchen war der einzige seiner Art, den ich in der Saison 2015 bei schönem Licht und Windstille an seinem Schlafplatz fotografieren konnte (17.05.2015, 21:01 Uhr)

Il Wagasa “和伞”, l’ombrello tradizionale giapponese a base di bambù e washi (carta giapponese), è rinomato non solo per la sua delicata bellezza, ma anche per la precisione del suo meccanismo di apertura/chiusura.
I primi ombrelli pieghevoli apparvero in Giappone intorno al 1550 (prima di allora, l’unica difesa contro la pioggia erano stati i cappelli di paglia e i mantelli) e sono stati inizialmente considerati articoli di lusso.

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.
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.

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.
