The island of La Digue is so remote and so pristine! As the evening approaches, the air is balmy. Everyone "rushes" to lose themselves in nature's spectacle.
Just after sun rise, after a clear night, with mist forming across the autumn countryside. Looking East from Bringsty Common, near Bromyard, in Herefordshire.
Black frozen lake Sils. Lake Sils (German Silsersee, Romansh: Lej da Segl) is a lake in the Upper Engadine valley, Grisons, Switzerland. It takes its name from the village of Sils im Engadin. The lake lies at an altitude of 1,797 metres above sea level, between Maloja Pass and Lake Silvaplana. Several mountains over 3,000 metres overlook the lake, notably Piz Corvatsch, Piz Grevasalvas and Piz da la Margna. The lake's drainage basin culminates at Piz Fora (3,336 m) and comprises the Vadrec da Fedoz glacier.
With a surface area of 4.1 km², Lake Sils is the largest lake of the Engadine. It is also the largest natural lake in the Alps lying above 1,000 metres. The lake was formed by a prehistoric landslide dam, similarly to Lake Silvaplana (Source: Wikipedia).
Amsterdam, Noord – Voormalig kraanspoor; langs deze 270 meter lange constructie van gewapend beton werden vorige eeuw mammoettankers van de Nederlandse Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) afgebouwd. Architect Trude Hooykaas redde het eind jaren negentig van de sloop, met haar ontwerp voor het transparante gebouw dat nu drie meter boven het oorspronkelijke Kraanspoor lijkt te zweven.
AMSTERDAM, Noord – former craineway; along the 270 metres long construction of reinforced concrete were last century supertankers of the Dutch dock and shipbuilding company (NDSM) phased out. Architect Trude Hooykaas saved the late nineties of the demolition, with her design for the transparent building that now three metres above the original craineway seems to float.

Als ich noch ein Kind war wanderten wir häufig, mit der Schule, zu diesem Häuschen, um einiges über die Natur, aber auch über die Geschichte unserer Heimat zu lernen.
Damals waren noch sogenannte Totenbretter an den Mauern des Häuschens befestigt, mit teilweise doch sehr skurillen Sprüchen der Verstorbenen darauf, denen sie zu ihrem letzten Gang an ihre ewige Ruhestätte dienten.
When I was a kid we wandered frequently, with the school, to this house, to learn a lot about nature, but also about the history of our homeland.
In those days were known dead boards attached to the walls of the cottage, with partial but very droll sayings of the deceased on which they served at their last transition in their eternal resting place.

she always has an eye on you...
Tried to focus on the eye only. It´s ISO 3200, so please forgive me the low quality of the insect, but the light was fantastic and I had only seconds to capure this moment. 1 min later there was no sun at the horizon.
Ingredients:

went out with some folks from our photo club yesterday to a place near Peggy's Cove called Polly's Cove.. Lots of rock and shrub trees and clear blue skies.
La ruta de los molinos de Bimenes - Asturias
Se trata de una sencilla ruta de sedentarismo en la que a lo largo de unos 5 km en total podremos disfrutar del bonito paisaje de la zona, con sus molinos, sus pequeñas cascadas y el bosque autóctono asturiano. Al ser bastante fácil es muy recomendable en caso de que la hagáis con niños o no esteís muy acostumbrados a caminar.
Espero que esta escena y foto también sea de vuestro agrado

Athabasca Falls in September when the flow is low. This falls is not known so much for the height of the falls (76 feet, 23 metres), as it is known for its force due to the large quantity of water falling into the gorge. Can be tough to get a shot from this spot in the Spring. Lots of misty and spray.
Another must stop along the Icefields Parkway, which is in view on the other side of the river.
More shots in comments.
Many thanks for taking a look!

ONE BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR(YOURS) VISIT AS WELL AS FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND FAV
A 5am alarm clock followed by a quick coffee and bite to eat then in the car for the 10min drive to the Rhyd Ddu Path, the forecast was promising with reports of no wind and rain and mist in the valleys.
I set off at 6am and headed for the summit of Yr Aran in complete darkness giving myself plenty of time to be their for first light, there was plenty of cloud cover on route with the odd star making an apperance every now and then, I knew that is was going to go either way come sunrise.
The sunrise colours did'nt come to fruition but the fog rolling in made up for that, I spent around 2hours in total taking in the views great place to be.

The morning marine layer slowly lifts, revealing a scene abundant in bird and marine life as the Pigeon Point Lighthouse quietly surveys the action. It's been years since this old lighthouse has leant it's beams to guide the sailors home. But it's none-the-less for it's inactivity.

This I wish particularly in moments like this, when I'm fortunate to watch nature peacefully awakening and getting ready for a new day.
Das wünsche ich mir ganz besonders in Momenten wie diesen, wenn ich das Glück habe beobachten zu dürfen wie friedlich die Natur aufwacht und sich für den neuen Tag rüstet.
Monday morning after the Dutch summer Sunday :-)
