On the approach to the famous Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.

This is an ancient mill on the city ramparts of Bremen. There used to be 6 of them on the ramparts - only one is left. And the name "Coffee Mill" (Kaffeemühle in German) refers to a café and restaurant in the mill.

Bagan

auch Arimaddana oder Arimaddanapura, „Stadt Zerbrecher der Feinde“, und Tambadipa, „Kupferland“ oder Tassadessa, „Ausgedörrtes Land“) ist eine historische Königsstadt in Myanmar mit über zweitausend erhaltenen Sakralgebäuden aus Ziegelstein. Der von Tempeln bestandene Bereich erstreckt sich über ca. 36 km² in einer versteppten Landschaft und bildet eine der größten archäologischen Stätten Südostasiens. Bagan liegt in der heutigen Mandalay-Division, 155 km südwestlich der Stadt Mandalay am Ostufer des Irrawaddy, auf halbem Weg zwischen dessen Quelle und der Mündung in den Indischen Ozean und ist heute eines der wichtigsten touristischsten Ziele in Myanmar.

also Arimaddana or Arimaddanapura, "city breakers of enemies", and Tambadipa, "copper country" or Tassadessa, "parched land") is a historic royal city in Myanmar with over two thousand preserved sacred buildings made of brick. The area made up of temples extends over approx. 36 km² in a stepped landscape and forms one of the largest archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. Bagan is located in what is now the Mandalay Division, 155 km southwest of the city of Mandalay on the east bank of the Irrawaddy, halfway between its source and its mouth in the Indian Ocean and is now one of the most important tourist destinations in Myanmar.

He sat on a log intently staring into the leaves on the right. What, if anything, he saw, I could not determine.

Il Wagasa “和伞”, l’ombrello tradizionale giapponese a base di bambù e washi (carta giapponese), è rinomato non solo per la sua delicata bellezza, ma anche per la precisione del suo meccanismo di apertura/chiusura.

I primi ombrelli pieghevoli apparvero in Giappone intorno al 1550 (prima di allora, l’unica difesa contro la pioggia erano stati i cappelli di paglia e i mantelli) e sono stati inizialmente considerati articoli di lusso.

Les principales grottes dans le Vercors sont :

- les grottes de Choranche, qui sont un très fameux site touristique unique en Europe, connu depuis environ 1871

- la grotte de la Luire, dont le site allie des thématiques géologiques et historiques

- la grotte de la Draye Blanche à La Chapelle-en-Vercors, riche en découvertes paléontologiques

You know I like to do sunrises, unfortunately there was not a decent one all the time I was in Iceland. This was the closest I got. I do like the range of blue tones tinted by the pinks.

Twilight at the Field of Dreams in Plainville, Massachusetts.

Snowdrops making the dappled light in the woods feel just that little bit brighter.

That was my first thought when I saw this area couple of years ago for the first time. ;)

Grafelijkheidsduinen - Noord Holland

The area was used to extract drinking water. When this stopped in 1982, a beautiful area with dune lakes arose. Now the area is managed by Landscape North Holland. In the part that is closed off, Highland cattle and Konik horses are kept. The walking and biking trails in the area are freely accessible.

Seen while walking the cliffs in the area Carvoeiro in the southern Algarve region of Portugal, recent rockfalls show the effect of coastal erosion. The stunning effects of nature on this sandstone is quite amazing to see.

"Fagus sylvatica"

 

In winter, the rice terraces are free from plants, so that the light often reflected in various colors of the sky. When we arrived at the viewpoint pulled fog over the rice fields, but towards the afternoon (as in the picture) the fog lifted .

I think it is a hard work to plant all this fields with rice. With machines may not be working there. The non- water-filled terraces are usually planted with potatoes .

 

Im Winter sind die Reisterrassen frei von Pflanzen, so dass sich das Licht oft in verschiedenen Farben des Himmels spiegelt. Als wir am Aussichtspunkt ankamen zog Nebel über die Reisfelder, der sich aber zum Nachmittag hin (wie auf dem Bild) lichtete.

Ich denke, es ist ein hartes Stück Arbeit, die vielen Felder mit Reis zu bepflanzen. Mit Maschinen geht dort überhaupt nichts. Die nicht mit Wasser gefüllten Terrassen werden meist mit Kartoffeln bepflanzt.

L’insediamento nuragico si trova nei pressi del celebre nuraghe Arrubiu. Ad esso si può accedere alternativamente dalla SP10 (attraverso un sentiero che nel primo tratto è in salita) o dalla strada asfaltata d’accesso al nuraghe Arrubiu ; in quest’ultimo caso si potrebbe incontrare il terreno molto paludoso se dovesse piovere. L’area archeologica si caratterizza per la presenza di moltissime capanne nuragiche, sebbene poche ben conservate, ma soprattutto di un interessante tempio nuragico a pozzo.

The grebe will insist on lurking in the shade of the island in the centre of the lake, so the light is often low. The kerbstones around this side are handy for getting down fairly low, though not right at water level, with only the bird guano and the odd spot of mud to mess up the jeans. OK, apart from when I wanted the shots with the fish, when it cunningly went where there were bushes that restricted such access...

 

Thank you for your faves and comments

Blustery weather over the late summer 'Machair' at the Luskentyre estuary on the west coast of Harris in the Western Isles of Scotland. The dune grass was still rich with wild flowers even this late in August.

My brother is coming to visit next week, He lives near Yosemite and this is one of many photos from a trip to visit him in 2014 and our little day trip to Yosemite National Park. I sure wish it was not on the opposite side of the continent!

Late afternoon in Coyote Buttes South area (Cottonwood Trailhead).

In the distant background burned a large fire, probably a forest fire near the Zion National Park. The smoke attracted miles to the Vermilion Cliffs.

 

Später Nachmittag in den Coyote Buttes South (Cottonwood Trailhead).

Im fernen Hintergrund brannte ein großes Feuer, vermutlich ein Waldbrand in der Nähe des Zion National Parks. Die Rauchschwaden zogen meilenweit bis zu den Vermilion Cliffs.
