Travel in summer - Phare de Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse. Rimouski, Québec, Canada #1
The lighthouse is 108 feet tall, which makes it the second tallest in eastern Canada. It is built in a characteristic shape, employing eight concrete buttresses to support a slender central cylinder.
It was replaced by an electronic lighthouse in 1975 and the site is now open for visitors as part of the Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Père.

This male Wood Duck and his twin were photographed in autumn at Mead Botanical Garden in Winter Park, Florida, USA. He was in his fresh fall plumage. I always enjoy seeing these colorful ducks. The reflection was a nice bonus.

This cute raccoon has been showing up in my yard in Central Florida quite frequently this summer. I usually see it in the back yard late in the day, getting a drink of water from the pool. Raccoons are normally nocturnal animals but this young raccoon was probably just trying to cool down from the hot summer we have had here in Florida. We're a long way from Christmas. It started to climb up this tree but then turned around to climb back down. I caught this pose right as is was turning around.

Per te che curi questo amore
come fosse un fiore delicato
e ci metti tutto,
tutto ciò che riesci a dare,
e comprendi un mondo
che i miei occhi
sanno appena immaginare...

The Rainy Day
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
By Simran Khurana
.
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
,
And the day is dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark...

The Sea Arch Stack, Crohy Head, Dungloe, County Donegal, Ireland
I didn’t even realise that this wonderful natural formation even existed until recently. I was in the western coast of Ireland when I found out and located this barely known arch stack!
It is located on a small peninsula called Crohy Head. Very difficult to climb down too and you even have to use a rope that is attached to some rocks on the cliff face! Amazing location with this very unique sea arch

Stuttgart is the only city in Germany where wine is grown within the urban area, mainly in the districts of Rotenberg, Uhlbach and Untertürkheim.
Stuttgart is still one of Germany's largest wine-growing cities with more than 400 hectares of vine area, thanks in main to its location at the centre of Germany's fourth largest wine region, the Württemberg wine growing area which covers 11,522 hectares (28,470 acres) and is one of only 13 official areas captured under German Wine law. The continuing importance of wine to the local economy is marked every year at the annual wine festival ('Weindorf'). (Wikipedia)

One of the oldest homes in the Louisiana Purchase, Destrehan was constructed beginning in 1787 and completed in 1790. Robin de Logny contracted with a free man of color, Charles Pacquet, to build the house and outbuildings to support his indigo plantation. Pacquet was given the use of six slaves to build the house. He was paid the grand sum of "one brute negro," a cow and a calf, 100 bushels of both corn and rice, and $100 in cash upon completion. This building contract, still on file at the parish courthouse in Hahnville, LA, makes Destrehan Plantation the oldest documented house in the Lower Mississippi Valley.
Building NRHP- #73002132

The day began before dawn on a cold day at the top of Mt Haleakalā. We easily descended miles into the crater on the Shifting Sands Trail with all our camera gear on our backs, happily shooting dozens of photos of this amazing moonscape. At some point we realized, oh we should turn around and head back up, mindful we had descended at least 4 miles. Halfway up we discussed leaving our precious tripods at the side of the trail, 3/4 of the way up we were ready to leave all our gear behind to save ourselves from heart attacks. Slowly and with many stops, we made it back to the car with all our equipment in tow. A day not to be forgotten, despite the pain I'd do it all over again to be part of that magnificent landscape. We are told NEVER shoot directly into the sun, I believe rules are made to be broken, how else would I have captured this colorful flare?
Have a great Tuesday, my flickrino friends! ♥

Esta ruta recorre parte de la Serra da Groba por el Monte Lousado en Torroña, en la parroquia de Burgueira, concello de Oia.
** Nos enseña el Foxo Pedriño formado pro 1.500 metros de muros de piedra preparados para acorralar y dar caza a los lobos, que acababa en un foso que tristemente ha sido destruido por la pista forestal que nos lleva hasta él.
** También veremos el Curro de Os Puxeiros, considerado como el más antiguo de toda la Serra da Groba. En estos recintos se agrupaba a los caballos semi-salvajes en régimen de libertad una vez al año, para marcarlos, desparasitarlos y cortarles las crines.
Sus antiquisimos muros son una belleza y nos dan idea de lo primitivos que son.
** Luego llegaremos a la piedra conocida como Laberinto de Monte Lousado con varios petroglifos bien conservados siendo el principal un gran laberinto, también cruciformes, coviñas y grabados geométricos.
Unas curiosas disquisiciones sobre el tema
La localización del petroglifo y la ruta fué siguiendo este enlace, aunque nosotros jamás utilizamos GPS, me niego a perder mi pequeña dosis de aventura ....
** Y finalmente si seguimos llegaremos hasta las ruinas del Castelo de Lousado, una antigua fortificación medieval ......pero solo vereis piedras amontonadas ..... ya habiamos subido varias veces y me acabo de enterar de que era un castillo :-)
Esta vez no subimos porque lo habiamos hecho un par de dias antes, igual publico la ruta un día.

Rhodes(Greek: Ρόδος, Ródos, IPA: [ˈro̞ðo̞s]; Italian: Rodi; Ottoman Turkish: ردوس Rodos; Ladino: Rodi or Rodes) is a Greek island approximately 18 kilometers (11 mi) southwest of Turkey in eastern Aegean Sea. It is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in terms of both land area and population, with a population of 117,007[2] of which 53,709 resided in the homonymous capital city of the island.
Historically, Rhodes was famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. Today Rhodes is a tourist destination.
The island of Rhodes is shaped like a spearhead, 79.7 km (49.5 mi) long and 38 km (24 mi) wide, with a total area of approximately 1,400 square kilometers (541 sq mi) and a coastline of approximately 220 km (137 mi). The city of Rhodes is located at the northern tip of the island, as well as the site of the ancient and modern commercial harbors.
In the 1st century AD, the Emperor Tiberius spent a brief term of exile on Rhodes, and Saint Paul brought Christianity to the island. Rhodes reached her zenith in the third century, and was then by common consent the most civilized and beautiful city in Hellas. In 395, the long Byzantine Empire period began for Rhodes, when the Roman Empire was split and the eastern half gradually became a Greek empire. Although part of Byzantium for the next thousand years, Rhodes was nevertheless repeatedly attacked by various forces. It was first occupied by Muslim forces of Muawiyah I in 672. Much later, Rhodes was retrieved for the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I Comnenus during the First Crusade.
In 1309 the Byzantine era came to an end when the island was occupied by forces of the Knights Hospitaller. Under the rule of the newly named "Knights of Rhodes", the city was rebuilt into a model of the European medieval ideal. Many of the city's famous monuments, including the Palace of the Grand Master, were built during this period.
The strong walls which the Knights had built withstood the attacks of the Sultan of Egypt in 1444, and of Mehmed II in 1480. Ultimately, however, Rhodes fell to the large army of Suleiman the Magnificent in December 1522, long after the rest of the Byzantine empire had been lost. The few surviving Knights were permitted to retire to the Kingdom of Sicily. The Knights would later move their base of operations to Malta. The island was thereafter a possession of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries.
A pretty Heron for hump day. We're supposed to get snow today in NC and I'm off work for a few days, fun times... ^_^
Long time before the creation, one day the elements came to present themselves before the mighty. Everyone wanted to prevail over a large part of the earth. But the Mighty was wise and rightful, therefore he divided the earth fairly among the elements. The water dominated the cold world, which consisted entirely of ice. But there was also a hot world, full of embers and flames. Between this two worlds, there was a mysterious nothingness, an immense gaping emptiness without light and structures.
The two forces fire and ice were not satisfied with the division of the world, because each of them wanted to have more. In the cold world the water decided to divert a river in the direction of the mysterious world of nothingness. Their water turned into ice, which continued to expand in the direction of the nothingness. The same idea had the fire with the magma flows. And so the inevitable happened. In the world of nothingness fire and ice clashed!
Tremendous forces collided and caused an apocalyptic catastrophe of gargantuan proportions. The earth shook, and huge cracks appeared while in other places the earth were formed to huge mountains. Fire and lava veins cooled, the ice melted and the water began to boil. Vapour and mist rose into the air where they were transformed to charged and dark clouds. It started to rain and there were also storms and lightning. And then … there was silence … for a long time there was no more noise … and suddenly the light penetrated in this darkness, because the light wanted to see what had happened. The whole world shone and showed her beauty. There was heat, air, clouds, mountains, valleys and fields. The paradise was born!
I want to thank all very much for your "views", "Comments" and "Favourites" :-) The only thing that matters is that you have joy in this photo. Again, thank you :-)
A beautiful Monday with our warmest temperatures of the month and the forecast is for snow tomorrow!

Alpenglow on the Mt. Baker from Deming, WA. This is what I see on my commute to work. Baker is a live volcano. We can occasionally see a plume of steam rising from a spot just to the right of the peak.
Mt. Baker: 9,355 feet or 2,851 meters in elevation. The two black buttes to the right of the dome erupted leaving craters. The last eruption was about 700,000 years ago. In 1975 there was an event that led to melting glaciers and snow, but did not result in magma reaching the surface. That magma has been slowly cooling since then.
