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.

Wild - At Porto Jofre - Pantanal - Brasil. This guy was really annoyed. According to our field guide, this was a young hawk calling for his parents.

Last light of the day experienced, admired and photographed on our way back from Playa de Santiago, La Gomera, Spain 2013.
Busy skies reflected in British Columbia's Muncho Lake.
Was pretty in color (in comments) but thought it made for a nice black and white as well.
Enjoy this first week of 2016!

Un coucher de soleil derrière le Fort ! d’où le choix de la pose longue avec un réglage lumière sur le soleil .
Seul sur site ! ou presque ...
A sunset behind the Fort! hence the choice of the long exposure with a light setting of the sun.
Only on site! or almost ...
A long exposure, landscape image of rocks getting battered by waves in the evening sunshine at Sandend in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

These are not trees but wooden poles of this trabucco.
A trabucco is a massive construction built from wood, which consists of a platform anchored to the rock by large logs of pine of Aleppo, jutting out into the sea, from where two (or more) long arms called antennae stretch out suspended some feet above the water and supporting a huge, narrow-meshed, net (called trabocchetto).
The morphology of the Gargano coast and of Abruzzo determined the presence of two different types of trabucco: the Garganic trabucco is usually anchored to a rocky platform, longitudinally extended to the coastline, from which the antennae depart.
The variant of Abruzzo and Molise, also called bilancia, often insists on shallower coasts and therefore is characterized by the presence of a platform, transversal to the coast, which is connected by a tight bridge made of wooden boards. A bilancia has just one winch, often electrically operating, even when the sea is perfectly calm. Abruzzo bilancia has also a net much smaller than that of Gargano trabucco, another feature that differentiates the two types is the length and number of antennae, more extensive Gargano (also double that of Abruzzo and Molise) in Termoli balances were more than two antennae, Gargano always two or more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabucco

SUPPORT MY WORK! Just LIKE my Facebook page! Thanks!
It isn't a fire burning the countryside but a rainstorm is passing far away, between my home and the alps, the air of the sunset is limpid and dry, and the view can go far far away.
This is the stunning, unbelievable, show the sunset of yesterday over the Oltrepo hills.
Every day a new beginning, a new opportunity to realize our best dreams.
Thanks so much for all, have a nice day :D

Lipan Point on the south rim of the Grand Canyon is one of the most evocative and meditative lookouts over the Colorado. I was shooting several photos of the sunset when this guy, probably a native, sat on the rock in front of me offering himself as unintentional and occasional model for a slightly different shot than the usual ones. A little human touch in presence of this huge, vast and wild place.
Mt. Robson is called the Monarch of the Canadian Rockies, and for good reason. Not only is it the highest Canadian peak in the range, at 12,997 feet, but it is a world-class climbing challenge. Mountain climbers admire and respect this mountain. It has earned another name: "The Great White Fright," as only 10% of climbers reach the top.
This is one of the first views of this huge mountain as one approaches from the west on the Yellowhead Highway.
A couple other images in comments for comparison.
Thanks for your visit, comments, faves and suggestions!
Since I haven’t had much opportunity to shoot lately, I decided to revisit a shot and process it in B&W. I kept looking at the post of all my Flickr friends and wanted to get into the act somehow.
This is a stacked long exposure so the 25s in the EXIF is just a fraction of the actual exposure time. I got lucky with some good light and was able to capture a lot of detail which I think suits this architecture type photography.
