Tropea is one of the symbols represented by the island of Tropea , before completely detached from the city and then reunited dall'insabbiamento .

Built by the Benedictines , with late - medieval style , it underwent ' various modifications , until it is the renaissance of a Latin basilica.

After several earthquakes in 1060 came under the jurisdiction of the Benedictine abbey of Montecassino . Today the church has three small aisles

 

Uno dei simboli di Tropea è rappresentato dall'isola di Tropea, prima completamente staccata dalla città e poi ricongiunta dall'insabbiamento.

Costruita dai Benedettini, con stile tardo-medievale, subì' varie modifiche, fino a portarla in età rinascimentale a basilica latina.

Dopo vari terremoti nel 1060 entrò sotto la giurisdizione dell'abbazia benedettina di Montecassino. Oggi la chiesetta si presenta a tre piccole navate

 

ho sognato per 3 mesi di salire su qua....e ci sono arrivata in una domenica pomeriggio spettacolare ...c'erano primule e violette e gli alberi avevano già le gemme ...

 

ho scattato solo una foto da questo balcone davanti all'ingresso dell'Osservatorio Astronomico, il sole accecante, la sensazione di un'aereo che parte da Malpensa....ma intravedevo il Monviso e potevo immaginare anche altro e altro ancora ...come gli abbracci che ho ricevuto e i sorrisi e le lacrime di gioia :-) e tanti piccoli momenti che hanno reso bello il mio cammino quest'anno.

 

desidero lasciarvi queste ultime due foto per augurare a tutti voi giorni sorridenti, uno dopo l'altro, semplicemente.

Che non vuol dire essere ebeti, ma lasciarsi prendere da tante piccole sorprendenti bellezze che possono rendere più lieve e sereno il nostro cammino e il nostro impegno quotidiano. Amen!

 

abbracci e sorrisi a voi! grazie di tutto!!! Ale

The Nott Memorial is an elaborate 16-sided stone-masonry building which serves as both architectural and physical centerpiece of Union College in Schenectady, New York. Dedicated to Eliphalet Nott, president of Union for a remarkable sixty-two years (1804-1866), the 110-foot (34 m) high by 89-foot (27 m) wide structure is a National Historic Landmark.

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.

Hiking in Switzerland ; Grindelwald , First , above Bachsee . No. 8975.

  

"It's impossible to imagine the Swiss mountain world as more idyllic than the area surrounding Lake Bachalpsee. The snow-covered peaks of the Alps are reflected in the crystal clear blue water.

 

First is the starting point for hikes and it offers action: An adrenaline rush and speed thrills are guaranteed on the First Flyer, trottibike scooters or bikes. Children can have fun on the 700-m² playground at the Bort intermediate station."

  

Trois étapes vous seront nécessaires pour débarquer en toute tranquillité dans cet écrin de nature montagnarde paradisiaque. A 2200 mètres d'altitude, le First offre des panoramas étourdissants, notamment une vue imprenable sur sept 4000 des Alpes bernoises.

 

En une petite heure de marche à travers pâturages et chemins pédestres bucoliques, vous atteignez le superbe lac Bachalpsee et ses eaux cristallines. De tous les côtés, des points de vue pittoresques. Inoubliable ascension. Pour un peu de culture, passez donc la nuit au Berghotel Faulhorn, le plus ancien hôtel de montagne de Suisse!

  

Der First ist eine Verflachung des Südwest-Rückens zum Widderfeldgrätli (2'632 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland nördlich oberhalb von Grindelwald. Er ist über eine Gondelbahn oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die obere Bergstation heisst ebenfalls First (2'167 m ü. M.) und steht den Besuchern im Winter und im Sommer mit einem gut ausgebauten Ski- und Wandergebiet zur Verfügung.

 

Besonders beliebt ist die Wanderung zum Bachalpsee und weiter zum Faulhorn, die ein spektakuläres Panorama mit Blick auf den oberen Grindelwaldgletscher sowie Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bietet. Eine weitere interessante Wanderung führt auf das Schwarzhorn. Östlich von First liegt 5,6 Kilometer zu Fuss entfernt die Grosse Scheidegg.

 

Der First ist ein Startort für Paraglider und Deltasegler sowie Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Mountainbiketouren. Station First bietet auch einen imposanten kurvenreichen Schlittenweg, welcher bei guten Schneeverhältnissen direkt nach Grindelwald führt.

Moltketurm on top of the Wiehengebirge near Porta Westfalica.

October waved goodby with sunshine and warm tempereratures and we used the perfect weather for an extended hiking tour on the Wittedindsweg, a crest trail on the Wiehengebirge from Porta Westfalica in the East to the Osnabrück area in the West. Before the sun went down we visited the most interesting spots of the Eastern part of the trail.

Sorry I am a little busy at the moment to spend much time on flickr or processing new images

As the light shone through the fog and the twisted snowgums

I moved around and shot many panos before it lifted

This is a six shot stitch

... warmth will come back again :-))

Virtually no colour in this sunrise ... quite a contrast with the one the day before - see previous posting. We get this wonderful mist almost every morning in the early Autumn.

Sunset over the Douro/ Ocaso sobre El Duero

Der Winter ist vorbei, das Leben in den Häfen ist erwacht, wie hier in Heiligenhafen.

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Enjoying some solitude at the punch bowl waterfall. I'm sure later in the day this place was crawling with people. But early in the morning, I had it all to myself.

I climbed the icy steps of the St. Joseph Lighthouse to get different perspective of the sunset over Lake Michigan. I had to crop the image more than I wanted to because the right and lower margins didn't fare well while the pano was being constructed in Photoshop.
