El castillo de AlfajarÃn fue construido en el siglo XI por Aben Alfaje en la atalaya natural de los Montes Blancos, junto a la ermita de la Virgen de la Peña, con el fin de vigilar la ribera del Ebro y proteger Zaragoza.
El acceso era mediante un puente levadizo que estaba flanqueado por dos torres, una de arco apuntado que contenÃa la puerta de acceso y la otra de gran volumen con detalles góticos y planta cuadrada.
El muro sur ha desaparecido y en el muro norte, mejor conservado, se abre un portillo que lo une a la Torre del Homenaje. En su extremo del este presenta otro torreón pentagonal muy deteriorado.
La Torre del Homenaje, de grandes proporciones, fue construida en el siglo XIV sobre un espolón del muro oeste. Su planta es rectangular de 14 por 10 metros, y su obra de tapial árabe con revestimiento de ladrillo macizo hasta media altura. Sólo conserva dos paredes de gran espesor y el arranque de una tercera.
En el extenso patio interior quedan las ruinas de lo que pudo ser palacio de los Cornel, una serie de paredones y algunas estancias subterráneas abovedadas de gran longitud comunicadas por medio de un pasadizo
Doi Inthanon is the highest mountain in Thailand. In 1954, the forests around Doi Inthanon were conserved, creating Doi Inthanon National Park, as one of the original 14 national parks of Thailand.
On the main road to the summit of Doi Inthanon stand two adjacent chedis, one called Naphamethinidon, meaning "by the strength of the land and air", and the other, Naphaphonphumisiri, meaning "being the strength of the air and the grace of the land". These temples were built to honour the 60th birthday anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 1987, and the 60th birthday anniversary of Queen Sirikit in 1992, respectively.
Now regarding the image: It is pano shot of 4 images each taken at 15mm, F/8, 1/125 Sec, ISO 100 with exposure bias set at +0.7 step - all handheld. This picture was taken from a small cliff near by the campus, one has to climb up here in order to capture the full panoramic view of this beautiful place!
The weather was very foggy and the views were not clear. We were waiting for the fog to get clear as it was constantly moving and clearing for few minutes in-between.

Three Gothic Revival-style buildings, located on a 170-foot bluff overlooking the Ottawa River, house the offices of the members of Parliament, the House of Commons and the Senate. Free guided tours delve into Canadian history and explain the workings of the political system.
Another shot of the wild ponies on Cefn Bryn, Gower, Wales. Zeiss ExoLens (Wide-Angle), handheld shot, then groomed a little in Snapseed on iPad Pro.
One of those shots where if I managed to take two steps to the left the composition would have been perfect, unfortunately I was standing right of the edge of the loch as it was. I think it looks good in black and white to emphasise the mist and contrast with the trees in the distance.
à l'extrémité Est du lac Léman, sur la commune du Bouveret, le Rhône entre dans le lac. Il en ressortira à Genève, environ 11 ans plus tard, pour les masses d'eau les plus profondes. Les eaux de surfaces voyagent plus rapidement.
The Rhône enters the Geneva lake in the region of Bouveret and comes out of the lake in Geneva about 11 years later, for the most deep water bodies.
Wanderung von der Pederue-Hütte auf Klein-Fanes an einem überwiegend grauen und kühlen Oktobertag.
Kurzzeitig kam die Sonne zwischen den Wolken hervor und schon leuchteten die herbstlich gefärbten Lärchen unterhalb der Fanes-Hütte und spiegelten sich in der Stauung des Vigilbaches. Die treppenartigen Felsstufen links des Wassers werden mit "Parlament der Murmeltiere" bezeichnet.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

'Het Speulderbos' is called ' the forest of the dancing trees'. The forest is not just mysterious, it is also very rare. It's a paradise for birds (of prey), deer, badgers and wild boars.
George Gray
Molte volte ho studiato
la lapide che mi hanno scolpito;
una barca con vele ammainate, in un porto.
In realtà non è questa la mia destinazione
ma la mia vita.
Perchè l'amore mi si offrà e io mi ritrassi dal suo inganno;
il dolore bussò alla mia porta, e io ebbi paura;
l'ambizione mi chiamò, ma io temetti gli imprevisti.
Malgrado tutto avevo fame di un significato nella vita.
E adesso so che bisogna alzare le vele
e prendere i venti del destino,
dovunque spingano la barca.
Dare un senso alla vita può condurre a follia
ma una vita senza senso è la tortura
dell'inquietitudine e del vano desiderio
è una barca che anela il mare eppure lo teme.
