The fountain was cast in Paris and completed for the 1876 International Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, the same exhibit at which Bartholdi displayed the Statue of Liberty’s right arm and torch. Bartholdi had originally intended to complete the Statue of Liberty in 1876 in time for the Country's Centennial, but construction was delayed. While the remainder of the statue was being completed in Paris, Bartholdi displayed the arm and torch at the Philadelphia Exhibition, along with his commissioned fountain

Autumn time in Stellisee , Zermatt. No. 293 294 295. Canton of Valais, Switzerland.

"The Stellisee (2,537 m) is among the most famous of Zermatt’s lakes. The sight of the Matterhorn reflected on its mirror-like surface is breathtakingly beautiful, and is made for magnificent photographs."

Thank You for your inspiration, take care and keep on doing ...( Please ) !

Warm greetings / Zak.

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

Peace Bridge

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...:-))

Two previous pics in the first comment..

On the path from le Plan de l'Aiguille to Montenvers, there is a bifurcation to the right leading to le Signal Forbes, which offers an exceptional point of view on la Mer de Glace. Here, this view has been captured on the way down from le Signal Forbes to Montenvers. More at www.flickr.com/photos/132192297@N04/albums/72157653597089933.

This worm gear came from my 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth window control mechanism that I had to replace. If you know me, you know I like little motors so I dissected out the motor and found this interesting worm gear. I've posted the complete armature part of the motor before and I even shot this gear once but never posted it. So, with "Screw" for the Macro Mondays theme this week I decided to shoot it again and see what I could come up with after a bit of cleaning. So much for the rusty lag bolt...

The worm screw gear is relatively small and measures 0.35 in. x 1.0 in. I used the Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro lens w/PK-12&13 Extension Tubes, 41.5mm total extension and a 30 image focus stack at f/5.6 to keep everything sharp. The first time I shot this I found the orange and blue clamps that I used to "suspend" the gear had snuck back into the reflection so I wrapped the clamps with my gold ribbon and taped some to a piece of cardboard that I placed below the gear. I used blue tape to hold the ribbon to the cardboard and it got picked up but I liked the look by the gold. You can also probable guess the color shirt I'm wearing.

As DBS Tug 60100 disappears towards Lostock Works in Northwich on this placid wintry afternoon, it's hard not to reflect on whether this may be one of the last times we see them down this way given the rumoured mothballing of these fine machines.

Or maybe it's a mere dream .........?

Las Cruces, New Mexico with the Organ Mountains in the background. Taken 11 April 2023 at 7:25 PM with sunset at 7:34 PM. Cropped section from a 7 image pano shot at 116mm.

While this looks a like it was taken with moonlight, it's actually a bit of sliding trickery with B&W processing, darkening the shadows and blacking out the sky. In reality, it was taken at just about sunset which accounts for the long shadows and vehicle lights.

The city ranges from approximately 3 to 9 miles away from where I'm standing at the I-10 Rest Stop and then runs to the Organ Mountains. The peak, Organ Needle is 18.4 miles away and lies 9,018 feet above sea level.

There is nothing like entertaining visitors to remind you of what a beautiful place you live in. When we visited Fort Worden (the old WWII bunker in the background) on the tip of the Quimper Peninsula near Pt. Townsend, WA, the yellow lupines were dotting the the landscape with brilliant yellow.

"In the deep spring when grass was green on fields and foothills, when the lupines and poppies made a splendid blue and gold earth ... then there was no more lovely place in the world."

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.
