A view from the bridge of the 'John 1' spacecraft as she travels through the galaxy on a continuing mission to explore strange new worlds and other stuff like that.
(Actually a neck-craning look skywards up the Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur).
The sunrise at Mesa Arch is so fantastic that just one shot can't be enough. Here's another from my collection, this one with the rocks in foreground and more sky over the arch. Cannot get tired of place like this, In fact I hope to get back soon there. In Island in the Sky, Moab.

Love is in the air, in the whisper of the tree,
Love is in the air in thethunder of the sea,
And I don't know if I'm just dreaming,
Don't know if I feel safe,
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name...
Love Is In The Air ♥ John Paul Young

Encounter with a desert-adapted Black Rhino in the Damaraland, Namibia, on a walk.
This was a desired encounter. We were with 3 guides taking good care of us.
As the huge animal came too close, they chased it away with loud shouts.

Stopped by Niagara Falls while we were up in Syracuse this summer. This was the view, the US Falls in the front and the Canadian Falls in the back. The blue folks are wearing their blue thin plastic ponchos that they receive with their ticket to ride the Maid of the Mist boat which you can see by the US Falls. The Canadian version is called the Hornblower and boards on the Canadian side, you can see one of the boats up by the Canadian Falls.
Königssee
by Martin Schmidt (www.schmaidt.de)
Die Automatik des Passats ist auf D eingeloggt, Google Maps sagt uns, wie es zurück nach Nürnberg geht und unsere Blicke haben nur ein Ziel: die Rückspiegel. Auftrag: die letzte Sicht auf die Berge, die letzten Gipfel mitnehmen. Es braucht nicht lange bis so ein paar Bäume auf Steinbrocken an See einem so richtig Appetit gemacht haben. Mich haben Sie auf jeden Fall infiziert. Ich hätte saumäßig Bock direkt wieder umzudrehen, mich mit Wanderschuhen, meinen beiden Damen, Kamera, Stativ und Filtern zu bewaffnen und wieder irgendwo hochzugehen oder irgendwo einen See zu finden, in den ich stundenlang Stöcke werfe, die mit Begeisterung wiedergeholt werden, während die Kamera belichtet.
Die Zeit in den Berchtesgardener und Chiemgauer Alpen war sehr schön - man muss schon fast "kitschig" sagen. Die Beweise folgen. Hoffentlich sind sie nicht nur für uns, die wir die Szenen vor Ort gesehen und durch Anstiege erkämpft haben, eindrucksvoll.
Den Alpenstart macht der Königssee bei Schönau - direkt umgeben vom König Watzmann. Von Letzterem wird dann später noch mehr zu lesen und sehen sein.

Had to have a play today. This is Crummock Water, electrified ! Now, let me think, what did I do? No, can't remember everything. But this involved Topaz Simplify, and a new bit of software I'm trying out before committing myself to a financial outlay, AKVIS Neon. Finished off in Picasa and then PicMonkey for the final touches. The starting photograph was really rather dull, but the sky was nice, I like the dead tree on the shore and the drystone wall, and this is the final result. Some of you will hate this, so .... apologies to you for neglecting you while I played :o)
The title is a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, for those of you who are confused. Don't worry - I am confused most of the time !

Sant Joan de Caselles és una de les més boniques obres d'art d'Andorra. I al trobar-se just al costat de la carretera just sobre el poble de Canillo, és molt facil de visitar.

===============================================
The beautiful romanesque church of St. Joan de Caselles is one of the most beautiful churches in Andorra. It was built probably in the XI Century.

Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.
Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.
