The Ponta da Piedade (Mercy Point) is possibly the most beautiful natural feature of the Algarve coastline.
The shoreline is formed of heavily weathered limestone cliffs that have been carved into rock pillars, natural tunnels and hidden grottoes. The sandstone cliffs of misshaped angles stand at stark contrast to the deep turquoises and greens of the calm seas.

Schwäbisch Hall "Swabian Hall", or Hall for short, is a city in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and capital of the district of Schwäbisch Hall. The city is located in the valley of the Kocher river in the north-eastern part of Baden-Württemberg.
Hall was a Free Imperial City for five centuries until it was annexed by Württemberg in 1802.
"Schwäbisch" refers to the Swabian League (German: Schwäbischer Bund). The origin of the second part of the name, "Hall", is unclear. It might be derived from a West Germanic word family that means "drying something by heating it", possibly referring to the open-pan salt making method used there until the saltworks closed down in 1925.

Un estilo un poco reto para acompañar hoy a la antena, jejeje.
Feliz martes de nubes para todos y todas.
Visited my photo friend in Söderköping for two days.
We traveled around the country to photograph.
Near her home is this fairy tale castle, originally from the 16th century, but the current building is significantly younger.
The castle is called Ekenäs, and many strange words and myths are about it.
One of them is: Greve Mauritz Vellingk has got rid of secret actions and the boy who helped him was then wrapped in a secretarial basement not to come out and tell the secret. The renovated room, which has never been opened, is called "Nisses hole". It is said that if space opens, a major accident will hit both the castle and its owners.
Another is on the so-called Hönsagumman, which is said to have saved the castle from hostile attacks and therefore become portrayed, which otherwise was unusual for service people. She still keeps a watchful eye on everyone who enters the castle.

The Willow tree growing in Lake Wanaka might be one of the most photographed trees in the world.
This wasn't the shot I'd originally planned, but it was the best I could get with large crowds gathering closely around it well before dawn.
I decided to try for a different composition from further down the beach, using my telephoto lens to include the mountains to the north instead of those to the east most people aim for.

The diamond of Serifos is its capital, Chora, which is considered to be a model of a medieval castled settlement, built amphitheatrically on the rocky height of the bay of Livadi , in order to protect it from the pirate invasions.
It is a former estate garden featuring annuals, roses and wildflowers and an extensive rockery. It is located on Wilket Creek, one of the tributaries of the Don River West Branch. The estate's title was once held by Alexander Milne, a Scottish weaver who settled here after the War of 1812 and left in 1832. The land and the woolen/saw mills was obtained by Rupert E. Edwards in 1944 and created his country home. Edwards home was left in neglect and was purchased by the Municipality of Metro Toronto in 1955 and became Edwards Gardens in 1956.
Origami Darth Vader has spoken: "I want to let you know that Marjan is having an absolutely necessary summer break..... She will be back, I promise! So live long and prosper until then".
Update: she is back........ ;-))
I find it interesting that I can feel the emotions in me that I felt when taking this photo. It was quite a storm as it approached our town.

The river is still in spate after all the rain we have had here in Scotland and is strewn with trees and other debris that has been washed away. I clambered out into the water to get this shot as it was the only way I could get an angle on the water falling over the rocks with the mountains in the background.
I managed to get to Mote Park lake just in time to catch a few minutes of this early winter sunset - my first of this season. It was a very cold afternoon and the lake was frozen over as can be seen looking at the foreground.
With the high wind warning yesterday, we went to Fifty Point hoping to see high waves and a dramatic sky. Instead it was very calm and still with a dull grey sky!
Here's another composition from my last visit to Joshua Tree. A shot of the Ancient Juniper taken facing north with the glow from the city of Twenty Palms. I have decided to embrace the glow instead of complain about it. :)
I have started saturating my photos a little bit more than usual after I made a few test prints on an Epson 9900 using a custom RGB profile. Those photos I selected to print, seems to be a little weak in color based on the sRGB colorspace which has a much smaller color gamut then the AdobeRGB1998 colorspace which is available on most cameras and I was using for my photos. But, if I then convert to the AdobeRGB1998 colorspace from sRGB I reduce the amount of colors that get clipped down during conversion. My wish on the next "first star" will be to have the profile supported by the web changed to AdobeRGB1998, It would make for a brighter more colorful internet.
I would like to take a moment to explain my reduced activity here on Flickr. I work in a prepress/advertising environment which gets crazy busy during the Christmas season, I have been working 12 hr shifts and haven't been able to spend as much time Flickering as I usually do. I will be heading out to shoot saturday night but I have vowed to spend all day Sunday catching up!! Please be patient with my busy schedule. Man am I looking forward to the new year when things usually slow down a little. :)
Thank you for taking the time to visit and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! :) Have a great weekend one and all. :)
