Elands Bay is a town in South Africa, situated in the Western Cape Province, on the Atlantic Ocean. The town is located about 220 kilometres (two and a half hours drive) north from Cape Town. It is a major surfing location and is also noted for its caves, which have a number of rock paintings.
In 2009, Heritage Western Cape declared the Elands Bay Cave and most of Baboon Point (Cape Deseada), on which it is located, as a provincial heritage site. Eland's Bay along with much of this coastline is an "important" bird habitat. The local wetland, Verloerenvlei, is a Ramsar wetland.

This was taken at a Loch near to my home just as the sun set. There were gentle waves in the water and I thought the long exposure would make for a more gentle break between the sand and the water than it has. That said, the LE did make a great job of the clouds.
Christmas is less than a fortnight away and nature here in Ostwestfalen is like early Spring. We used Sunday afternoon for an extended hiking tour around home waters of the river Werre in the Löhne area.
COSTANTINO KAVAFIS - Mare al mattino
Fermarmi qui. Per vedere anch'io un po' la natura.
Luminosi azzurri e gialle sponde
del mare al mattino e del cielo limpido: tutto
è bello e in piena luce.
Fermarmi qui. E illudermi di vederli
(e davvero li vidi un attimo appena mi fermai);
e non vedere anche qui le mie fantasie,
i miei ricordi, le visioni del piacere.
Looking up at some interesting icicles on the south pier light in St. Joseph, Michigan. (Thanks Wanda for your help with the title!)

Summer on a Caribean Island ? No, November in Northwest Germany. Due to strong winds we cancelled our idea to go hiking in the forests on our peak trail of the Wiehengebirge and took a tour around the Dümmer See, a large sweetwater lake in the Northgerman bassin. Unlikely for November the weather was windy but sunny.
in my part of the world this is usually the "hardest" month of the year. Grey, dull, cold and not encouraging to go out for a walk. We did it anyway and had a good time around Gut Bustedt, an old manor house in the Hiddenhausen area in East Westphalia.
This was taken the other day, and in fact is taken from the same position as the wider shot in my photo stream a couple of days ago. This is taken at 70mm on my 3100 which has a one and a half crop factor (my 810 had the big stopper on it taking the previous image).

J'ai trouvé sympa cette scène avec ce bateau dans le sillon du soleil; Classique, mais sur ce site, c'était un plus :) Merci pour votre visite .
I found this nice scene with the boat in the reflect of the sun; Classic, but on this site, it was a more . Thank you for your visit !
I am sure you all know by now that I like shots with trees, mist and reflections, hence the title. I liked this view as the mist was even softening the trees on the oppostie bank which were only a short distance away.
I have yet to make it to Lake Michigan this winter to see the ice on the lighthouse... this image of the icy catwalk was taken last year.
Okay, it's not actually within our backyard, but it's just beyond it. The yard behind our house borders a large park that is just being developed. The park was recently seeded, and the straw was put down as mulch. I took this shot while standing on our backyard deck. I think these Sandhill Cranes must have been eating the grass seed.
I know that there's not a lot going on in this image. But I rather like the repetitive poses of the birds, and I thought it was kind of cool that I could get this shot without leaving home, so I decided to go with it. The abundance of Sandhill Cranes in the area near our new home in Michigan has been one of the pleasant surprises of living here.
REPOST
The Zinnias always manage to go through the end of the autumn season before withering.
