Ventisquero Negro ("black snowdrift" in Spanish) is a rather unusual glacier at the base of Tronador in Nahuel Huapi National Park. Its unusual dark brown colour comes from dirt and sediment picked up in the glacier's accumulation zone, which is fed by the Río Manso Glacier several hundred metres higher up the mountain. Brown icebergs calve from the glacier and then float in a small lake until eventually melting.
Sorridi donna
sorridi sempre alla vita
anche se lei non ti sorride.
Sorridi agli amori finiti
sorridi ai tuoi dolori
sorridi comunque.
Il tuo sorriso sarà
luce per il tuo cammino
faro per naviganti sperduti.
Il tuo sorriso sarà
un bacio di mamma,
un battito d’ali,
un raggio di sole per tutti.
Alda Merini (Sorridi donna)
- Non ho mai visto un volto sorridente che non fosse bello.

Smile woman
always smile to life
even if she doesn't smile at you.
Smile to finished loves
smile at your pains
smile anyway.
Your smile will be
light for your journey
lighthouse for lost sailors.
Your smile will be
a kiss from mom,
a beat of wings,
a ray of sunshine for everyone.
Alda Merini (Smile woman)
- I have never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.

I spent two days in Heather Meadows enjoying fall colors in North Cascades. The first morning was amazing. Before the sun came up from behind the mountains the sky was so colorful. With the sun everything turned into golden yellow.

Ostuni, la ville blanche, a été fondée au VIIe siècle av. J.-C. par le peuple italique de Messapes, dans la vallée d'Itria, province de Brindisi. Elle s'étend sur trois collines dominant la campagne semée d'oliviers et regardant, la mer, située à 8 km, à l'est. Elle compte environ 33'000 habitants et vit principalement du tourisme. Sa cathédrale est splendide.
La vielle ville est entièrement repeinte à la chaux, d'où son surnom officiel de "città bianca".

Lantosque est une commune française située dans le département des Alpes-Maritimes en région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
Although it was cloudy on the morning I visited Moraine Lake, I was still able to see why it's so popular - it's just a stunning location.
I might have enjoyed it even further if I'd take the path around the back of the rock wall at the base of the lake, instead of climbing it from the front!!
old steamboats visit the town, people walk by the river, enjoying a placid moment.../ Uppsala en sommarkväll, ångbåtarna är på besök i staden, folk går på promenad vid Fyrisån i det fina vädret.../Uppsala, una tarde de verano, los antiguos vapores de visita en la ciudad, la gente camina junto al río disfrutando de un momento apacible...(DSC_7008-4)
The Isola San Giorgio Maggiore has always intrigued me. It is definitely one of the iconic sights to see in Venice. The island has been occupied since 829 and the church, with its bell tower, was built in 1566. This was taken one morning as the sun began to rise over the beautiful historic city!!
I continue to be busy trying to lend support to a Presidential candidate here in the USA and getting ready for a new trip to India. Southern India will be my destination this time. I miss my daily contact with every one, but probably won't be back on schedule until sometime in March! I continue to appreciate your support and encouragement!!!
Le Martin-pêcheur d'Europe (Alcedo atthis) (Kingfisher) est une espèce d'oiseau, espèce type de la famille des Alcedinidae.
Cet oiseau est un bon indicateur naturel de la qualité d'un milieu aquatique.
C'est un oiseau qui se nourrit de petits poissons et de petits animaux aquatiques. C'est pourquoi il vit à proximité des étendues d'eau, où il peut se nourrir en abondance. Sa proie repérée, généralement depuis un perchoir, il plonge en percutant violemment la surface de l'eau, l'attrape, puis l'avale tête la première dans le sens des écailles.
L'oiseau, très vivace, parcourt un circuit sur son territoire en se posant sur des perchoirs qu'il connaît, bien disposés pour guetter ses proies.
Si sa position est assez haute, il plonge en flèche directement.

The kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) is a species of bird, a type species of the family Alcedinidae.
This bird is a good natural indicator of the quality of an aquatic environment.
It is a bird that feeds on small fish and small aquatic animals. This is why he lives near bodies of water, where he can eat in abundance. His prey spotted, usually from a perch, he dives violently striking the surface of the water, catches it, then swallows head first in the direction of the scales.
The bird, very vivacious, runs a circuit on its territory by landing on perches he knows, well prepared to watch his prey.
If his position is high enough, he dive directly.
Dettifoss is a waterfall in Vatnajökull National Park in Northeast Iceland, and is reputed to be the most powerful waterfall in Europe.
Unfortuantely, because of the weather on the day, it was not accessible, and so we had to settle with this position: The nearest we could get...
Detti is definitely on the list again for our next visit!

Just thought I'd mention that this Wednesday morning (30-12-15) from about 8:30 to 10:30 looks like being good for storm photos at Porthcawl Lighthouse. Sunrise is 08:20, High tide is 09:19 and the forecast is for strong winds. There are no guarantees, it may not be the strongest storm of recent years, but if the forecast doesn't change it should be worth a visit - oh, and be careful out there!
Any excuse to post a Porthcawl photo, eh? This is a crop of a photo I held back on previously as I thought people would not see the lighthouse in the wave. On reflection you lot are more observant than that, so I may post the full version later today for you to compare.
If any of you go down on Wednesday please feel free to share any photos you post with me, I'd love to check them out. Me? I've got to work
In 1886, the writer Guy de Maupassant published his eyewitness account of Monet at Étretat. "The artist walked along the beach, followed by children carrying five or six canvases representing the same subject at different times of the day and with different effects. He took them up and put them aside by turns according to changes in the sky and shadows." Monet painted the dramatically arched projection in the cliff at Étretat six times from this angle: twice during each of three visits to the Normandy coast in 1883, 1885, and 1886. He refined the pictures in his studio.
