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!
Torneträsk or Torne träsk is a lake in Kiruna Municipality, Lapland, Norrbotten County in Sweden, in the Scandinavian mountain range. Träsk is the local word for lake (in Standard Swedish it means "swamp"). It is the sixth largest lake in Sweden, with a total area of 330 square kilometres and a length of 70 kilometres. The lake drains to the south-east through Torne älv. South-west of the lake lie the Abisko National Park and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Laponian area.
Torneträsk originated from the remnant of a glacier, which has given the lake its depth of 168 metres, making it the second deepest lake in Sweden. It is usually ice-covered from December through June, with variations dependent on temperature variations.

Ova da Morteratsch
The Morteratsch Glacier (romansh: Vadret da Morteratsch) is the largest glacier by area in the Bernina Range of the Bündner Alps in Switzerland.
It is, just after the Pasterze Glacier and Gepatschferner, the third largest and by volume (1.2 km3) the most massive glacier in the eastern alps. The Morteratsch Glacier is a typical valley glacier with a pronounced ice front. The accumulation zone lies between the peaks of Piz Morteratsch, Piz Bernina, Crast' Agüzza, Piz Argient, Piz Zupò and Bellavista. From Piz Argient to the ice front in the Val Morteratsch, its horizontal extent is about ~7 km (4.3 mi), with an altitude difference of up to 2,000 m (6,600 ft). Together with the Pers Glacier, originating at Piz Palü, which joins the Morteratsch just below the rock formation Isla Persa ("Lost Isle"), it covers an area of about 16 km2 (6.2 sq mi). The volume of the ice is estimated to be about 1.2 km3. The Morteratsch Glacier drains through Inn River and Danube into the Black Sea.

il 6 aprile 2019 la strada che collega Santa Margherita a Portofino sarà ufficialmente ripristinata ...
Era il 29 ottobre 2018 quando una mareggiata senza precedenti distruggeva la strada per raggiungere uno dei gioielli d'Italia, Portofino.
Ma se c'è un aspetto della Liguria ad essere diventato palese lo scorso anno è la sua capacità di rialzarsi e risorgere più forte di prima.
Il borgo infatti si sta preparando alla riapertura della strada che lo collega a Santa Margherita in tempo perfetto per la Pasqua, festività che, da sempre, segna l'inizio della stagione turistica.

Diverse namen voor Het lieveheersbeestje (Coccinellidae) verwijzen ook naar de maagd Maria, de moeder van Jezus, denk aan lievevrouwebeestje, mariabeestje en maria-tor in Nederlandse dialecten, of het Duitse Marienkäfer, De Engelse ladybird en het Franse bête de la Vierge (kerkelijke benaming uit oude tijd) Tegenwoordig ook wel de naam bête à bon Dieu genoemd. Deze vernoeming heeft te maken met het uiterlijk: Maria wordt vaak afgebeeld in rode kleding, waarschijnlijk als verwijzing naar het bloed van Jezus, en ze wordt geassocieerd met het getal zeven, vanwege de zeven vreugden en de zeven smarten die ze doormaakte. Het lieveheersbeestjes zou door de Heilige Maria worden gestuurd om gewassen van tuinders te beschermen.En het meestvoorkomende lieveheersbeestje is ook rood met zeven stippen (Coccinella septempunctata).
Happy mid-Winter Solstice to all!!!!
The unchanging exterior of Woodchester Mansion (nr. Stroud), a 19th Century Victorian Gothic Masterpiece mysteriously abandoned mid-construction in 1873. Hidden in a secluded Cotswold valley, it is untouched by time and the modern world. This Grade 1 Listed Building has been saved from dereliction, but will never be completed. The carvings in Woodchester Mansion are among the finest of their kind in the World.
A wonderful place to visit as you can see quite clearly in places how it was built.....a stunning and unusual building indeed!!
There are also many ghostly stories as you would expect from a building as unusual as this......some can be read below in the first link.
And if you fancy a ghost hunt then the second link will take you to the other side!!!
