♫Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying

This shot has been taken in Manarola during the blue hour, the temperature was around five degres and the waves were pretty high in the sea. The town is almost desert during winter, but always a beautiful subject to photograph.
Calgary - Alberta
Canada
Designed by Santiago Calatrava
The bridge was built by The City of Calgary to connect the southern Bow River pathway and Downtown Calgary with the northern Bow River pathway and the community of Sunnyside. This connection was designed to accommodate the increasing number of people commuting to and from work and those utilizing Calgary's pathways.
I was fascinated by the Peace Bridge and because my hotel was right behind the Shaw building I could go there anytime I wanted...:-))

Happy Slider Sunday
We're into the crazy weather again.64 at night and 93 during the day.
I didn't know you could wear out a wireless mouse and keyboard until now. First I though, I must have a bug or virus, I was doing virus scrans and they I rebooted my system to factory but things just kept getting worse. So, I did the simple thing, replaced my keyboard and mouse. And now, everything works great..;)
... such a lot of things. And I do not know what this beautiful butterfly is - can anyone help? Taken at Stratford-upon-Avon Butterfly Farm and honestly, I didn't have to do anything to this except crop it and sharpen very, very slightly. I do recommend this wonderful place ... but only if you don't mind butterflies landing on you, or hot, steamy conditions. Because it is HOT and STEAMY !!
ID would be gratefully received. Thanks for all your faves, comments and invites. I've just got back from Brighton but didn't have a chance to take many photos of the place as I was visiting family and they come first, of course.
Thank you so much Chandana for the ID: It's "Dryas Iulia".
Chandana's photostream is wonderful - have a look here ! Chandana Witharanage

in my local beech wood. The sun was just breaking through the fog. I blended three exposures in post to manage the high contrasts.

Jökulsárlón sits south of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier. Huge blocks of ice calve from the glacier and those icebergs float into a lagoon ("Glacier Lagoon"). From there they keep floating towards the Atlantic Ocean, where some of them get washed ashore and sparkle on the black beach like diamonds, after having been polished by the waves. Thus, the beach designation: Diamond Beach.
This photo was taken at sunrise, on a glorious day, with beautiful weather. When I've arrived to the beach a couple of hours before sunrise, seals were easily seen in the water, looking for their morning's meal... And when the sun rose in the sky, well, the least we can say is that it was monumental! This place is utterly beautiful and will remain always in my memories as being the most extraordinary spot I've been in a marvellous trip to Iceland.

Variant of one of my favorite motifs on a foggy morning in winter.
Eltz Castle is a hilltop castle from the 12th century. It is located in the valley of the Elz, which separates the Maifeld from the Vordereifel, south of the village on the district of the local community Wierschem in Rhineland-Palatinate at 320 m above sea level. The building is one of the most famous castles in Germany (source: Wikipedia).
Variante eines meiner Lieblingsmotive an einem nebligen Vormittag im Winter.
Die Burg Eltz ist eine Höhenburg aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Sie liegt im Tal der Elz, die das Maifeld von der Vordereifel trennt, südlich der Ortslage auf der Gemarkung der Ortsgemeinde Wierschem in Rheinland-Pfalz auf 320 m ü. NHN. Das Bauwerk gehört zu den bekanntesten Burgen Deutschlands (Quelle: Wikipedia).

Hamnøy is a small fishing village in the municipality of Moskenes in Nordland county, Norway. It is located on the eastern side of Moskenesøya, about 1.5 kilometres northeast of Reine, along the Vestfjorden (Source: Wikipedia)
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.
Belém Tower, officially the Tower of Saint Vincent is a 16th century fortification located in Lisbon that served both as a fortress and as a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon. It was built during the height of the Portuguese Renaissance, and is a prominent example of the Portuguese Manueline style, but it also incorporates hints of other architectural styles. The structure was built from lioz limestone and is composed of a bastion and a 30-metre (98.4 ft), four-storey tower.
Since 1983, the tower has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the Jerónimos Monastery. It is often portrayed as a symbol of Europe's Age of Discoveries and as a metonym for Portugal or Lisbon, given its landmark status. It has incorrectly been stated that the tower was built in the middle of the Tagus and now sits near the shore because the river was redirected after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. In fact, the tower was built on a small island in the Tagus river near the Lisbon shore.
This cut-leaf beech was, and still is, my favourite tree in our local park. I've taken many pictures of it in the past, when its beautiful boughs almost touched the ground, making a splendid shape.
Recently, the 'Management' decided to cut off the lower branches, drastically reducing its magnificence and majesty. They will never, ever grow back. This is what is left. Still beautiful, still majestic, in all its autumnal glory. But .... it just isn't 'right' now. Many feel so sad - and remember the way it used to be, before they injured it.
One of only two cut-leaf beeches in the park.
A picture of this beauty taken in 2010 is in the first comment box.
Thank you, Kerstin Frank and Lenabem-Anna for your beautiful textures.

suspended over the islands and the sea../Ett nytt ljus, över Gräsööarna och havet.../Una nueva claridad, suspendida sobre las islas y el mar... (DSC_0201-3)
It was lovely to get the opportunity to capture this nice reflection, especially with the overcast sky.
