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

There is hardly a better place in my area to enjoy a perfect Autumn day than the open-air -museum in Detmold. We spent a whole day in beautiful sunshine without a cloud in this lovely location.
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.
This was the first time I had driven down to the beach in Long Beach, Washington state. The town, itself, is a lot of fun...a lot of fun little shops and restaurants...a very nice place to spend an afternoon. Then we drove down to the actual beach at sunset (one of my favorite things to do!) I love how there were several layers of land and sea...pretty cool! Hope you enjoy!

Autumn just doesn't last long enough.....
Happy Friday!
I spotted this beauty with a "For Sale" sign in the window on a well kept looking farmstead in Southeast Michigan. I could have cropped more tightly to emphasize the truck for Truck Thursday, but I rather like the look of the entire scene, and I think the truck stands out sufficiently to be the focal point.
HTT!

Re-worked copy of an older image taken at the beautiful lake Doxa, last fall. The colours of the scenery are beautiful by themselves, but I tried to give an extra fairy-tale look. Lake Doxa, Corinth, Greece. November '15
The surf of San Francisco Bay churns around the rocky shoreline at historic Fort Point, as seen from the pedestrian walkway on the Golden Gate Bridge.
La iglesia de Santa María La Mayor de Villacantid constituye un destacado ejemplo de arquitectura religiosa de estilo románico en el sur de Cantabria. el estilo de los templos de Cervatos, Elines y Retortillo, además recibe la influencia del románico del norte de la provincia de Palencia.
Es un extraño ejemplar, un templo "contorsionista", que se ha doblado sobre si hasta unir la portada con el ábside. Este extraño aspecto, es producto de las reformas sufridas en el s.XVII.
Parece que, avanzado el s.XIII, se eliminó la nave única, románica, y en su lugar se proyectaron tres naves, aunque se conservó la cabecera. Se alzó la nave norte, pero la sur quedó inconclusa, hasta que al comienzo del s.XVII se reformó la nave del evangelio y se añadió la parte inacabada de la epístola, en cuyo muro de levante se recolocó, pegada al ábside, la portada románica que antes estaba al costado meridional.
El resultado es un ejemplar único.
Here comes the sun...

"Fangorn" is a Sindarin word that translates as "Treebeard" (from fang = "beard" and orn = "tree"). Entwood is a modernization of Old English Entwudu (wudu "wood"), so modernised because it was recognisable by speakers of Westron. Gondorians used that name, assimilated to their own language
"Fangorn" es una palabra Sindarin que se traduce como "árbol barbudo" o "Bárbol". "Entwood" es una modernización del término "Entwudu" del Inglés Antiguo, modernizado así porque era reconocible por los hablantes de Westron. Los Gondorianos usaban ese nombre, asimilado a su propia lengua.

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.
