The weather has been crazy this year. Just when I thought these guys should be dying off, more pop up!
Another very famous photo stop on Buttermere in the Lake District.Hopefully I will return here in winter when the single lonely tree is more isolated out in the lake. Still an amazing place with lots of opportunity with its beauty.

Thank you for visiting. Your comments and faves are much appreciated.
Oyster Island, with its distinctive lighthouse and five cottages, lies a short distance across the channel from Rosses Point. The Island derives its name from the profusion of oyster beds, which existed along its shores until the turn of the century. Oyster is separated from Coney Island by Shrunamile; the channel of a thousand currents, a most appropriate name because of its multitude of eddies with their peculiar whispering sound, which changes with the ebb and flow of the tide.
At the turn of the century, there were five families living on the Island, with the heads of these households listed as Lighthouse Keepers, but as the years rolled by the population dwindled.

Buckingham Fountain is a Chicago landmark in the center of Grant Park. Dedicated in 1927, it is one of the largest fountains in the world. Built in a rococo wedding cake style and inspired by the Latona Fountain at the Palace of Versailles, it is meant to allegorically represent Lake Michigan. It operates from April to October, with regular water shows and evening color-light shows. During the winter, the fountain is decorated with festival lights.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
Walking by the lake early this morning, I noticed that at this spot the horizon line, the direction of the clouds as well as their reflection on the water and the road, seemed to converge on the latter's bend. Converging lines, converging fates ...
