This is the last post of this forest serie and I really look forward to more situations like this one with the fog but unfortunately there aren't nearby were I live, unless I do wake up 4 in the morning... nah not me...
The picture had purple fringing (also on some of the previously posted but in this one it was more marcant) therefore I made some heavier editing (denoise, desaturation, illuminate). Sometimes, in my modest opinion, heavier editing give an unexpected positively result and in this case I do like a lot the painterly, artistic look.
A note regarding flickr automatic tags: this time it got it right... The tree trunks do look like columns.. .like remnants of an ancient civilization....

Cornelius Coot is the founder of the city of Duckburg, and a historical hero to the residents of Duckburg.
The Cornelius Coot statue first appeared in the Donald Duck comic Statuesque Spendthrifts (1952) by Carl Barks. Here, Scrooge and the rich Maharajah of Howduyustan compete at building the largest statue of Duckburg's founder, eventually leading to Duckburg being filled with gigantic statues of its founder. Barks re-used Coot's statue in Statues of Limitations (1957) and The Day Duckburg Got Dyed (1957). Afterwards, Coot's statues became a recurring location in the stories, and can be spotted in many comics taking place in Duckburg.
In a later story by Don Rosa, Cornelius was said to be the grandfather of Grandma Duck, which would make him Donald Duck's great-great-grandfather. However, Coot was not related to Donald in Barks' original stories.
Si on la fait courir le long d'un mur, fixer du gros fil de fer, à une vingtaine de centimètres du mur, pour que l'air circule derrière ses rameaux.

In 2006 hatte ich zwei mal die Gelegenheit, in das Tal der Havasupai Indianer zu wandern und diesen großartigen Wasserfall zu sehen und natürlich zu fotografieren. Leider zerstörte eine Flut im Jahr 2008 einen Teil der schönen Kalk-Sinter-Terrassen.
Dieses Bild entstand um die Mittagszeit bei Schleierwolken und starkem Wind. Der erste Hauch von Herbst lag über dem Tal. Ich wartete lange an der einzigen Stelle, an der man wegen der Sträucher und Bäume diesen Blick auf den Wasserfall mit den Terrassen im Vordergrund hatte.
In 2006, I had two times the opportunity to migrate into the valley of the Havasupai Indians and see this magnificent waterfall and take pictures of course . Unfortunately, destroyed a flood in 2008 a part of the beautiful lime sinter terraces .
This picture was taken around noon at clouds and strong winds . The first hint of autumn lay over the valley . I waited a long time at the only place where you had this view of the waterfall with the terraces in the foreground because of the shrubs and trees .

Cette photo a été inspirée par le vide totale de la rue tout juste après minuit, donc on pouvait tout se permettre sans aucune précipitation.

Instant Karma by John Lennon:
"Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you."
Pictured here is the remains of the (aptly named) SS Instant Karma. Just as Mr. Lennon predicted, Instant Karma was knocked right upside her head (or bow), as she now lies forever in the shallows of the Captree Boat Basin.

Just beyond the Falls, the creek continues to flow and ends up in the Mississippi River. There was a conveniently placed rock in the middle of this creek I just had to jump to so i didn't even have to get wet for this one.
Minnehaha Creek is a 22-mile-long (35 km) tributary of the Mississippi River that flows east from Gray's Bay Dam on Lake Minnetonka through the suburban cities of Minnetonka, Hopkins, Saint Louis Park, and Edina, and the city of Minneapolis. The creek flows over Minnehaha Falls in Minnehaha Park near its mouth at the Mississippi River.
Walkers strolling along the Boardwalk in the Yellowstone's Midway Geyser Basin. The Grand Prismatic Spring is magnificent as seen from the chalky, steep, treacherous hill to it's SW.
The Opal and Turquoise pools are above it with the Excelsior pool steaming to the right.
Thank you for taking a look!
Fountain Elms was maintained as a house museum, exhibiting the Proctors' paintings, prints and decorative furnishings as the nucleus of a permanent collection. In June of 1941, the Institute was granted the power to "provide instruction in higher education at the college level in the field of fine arts with authority to confer the degree of bachelor of fine arts." It was on this great occasion that the School of Art was established.

All the External Love I Have for the Pumpkins by Yayoi Kusama. I highly recommend you visit the Victoria Miro gallery to see this work, but be warned. You'll only have 20 seconds to take your shot!
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.
