There's such a satisfying feeling as a photographer, when you reach a location before sunrise, when everything is still dark and deep hues of blue and grey, and the first light of the sun begins to illuminate the world in front of your lens.
Standing in the depths of Zion Canyon on a blustery winter morning, my eyes tearing from the sub-freezing gusts, the anticipation is palpable. When the first hint of light starts to warm the Towers and Temple of the Virgin under a still deep blue sky, it is truly one of the Creator's great ceremonies.

Come June all golden!
What do you have in your treasure?
Peaches, strawberries, plums,
ears of ears without end;
green meadows, blonde hays,
lightning, thunder, rainbows;
long days, beautiful nights,
with fireflies and stars.
En Alfoz de Lloredo, en la frontera entre los pueblos de Cóbreces y Toñanes, esa frontera que crea el arroyo de la Presa, se esconde un lugar con mucho encanto.
Dicho arroyo desemboca en el mar Cantábrico creando una cascada de gran belleza, entre los acantilados.
Esto es el Molino del Bolao
Espero que esta escena y foto también sea de vuestro agrado

Stratford is a city on the Avon River in Perth County in southwestern Ontario, Canada, with a population of 30,886[1] as of 2011.
When the area was first settled by Europeans in 1832, the townsite and the river were named after Stratford-upon-Avon, England. It is the seat of Perth County. Stratford was incorporated as a town in 1859 and as a city in 1886.[4] The first mayor was John Corry Wilson Daly and the current mayor is Dan Mathieson. The swan has become a symbol of the city. Each year twenty-four white swans are released into the Avon River. The town is well known for being the home of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.
Leap of Leopards in the Khwai Private Reserve, Okavango Delta, Botswana, wish I were there. Big sigh.
Happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.

"She knows the human heart
And how to read the stars
Now everything's about to fall apart
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
The trick is to keep breathing"

While driving back from scouting locations for later in the evening we happened across this fantastic view. Have a great rest of the week all!
Axpe Achondo (en euskera y oficialmente Atxondo) es un municipio de la provincia de Vizcaya, País Vasco (España), perteneciente a la comarca del Duranguesado, con una población de 1.447 habitantes según los datos del INE correspondientes al año 2007. La extensión del municipio es de 23,21 km², por lo que la densidad poblacional es de 62,34 hab./km²
Se formó por los antiguos municipios de las anteiglesias de Apatamonasterio, Arrazola y Axpe, tras su fusión en 1962.
También se conocía en castellano como Valle de Achondo.
Ubicación y accesos
Se sitúa en el extremo sudeste de la provincia y de la comarca, en el límite con Álava. Ocupa la zona más accidentada, desde las orillas del río Ibaizábal, que se forma aquí al recibir el río Zumelegi, procedente de Elorrio, el Arrazola o Txareta, hasta las cumbres de la sierra de Amboto (1.296 msnm). La pared caliza que forman estos montes, que por este lado es muy abrupta con desniveles de más de 600 m, hace de telón de fondo a todo el municipio y le da el nombre.
Achondo limita con los siguientes municipios: al norte con Abadiano y Elorrio; al sur Aramayona (Álava); al este con Elorrio y al oeste con Abadiano.
Que tengas todos y todas un fantastico Martes de nubes
La cascata si trova nei pressi del confine del territorio comunale di Santu Lussurgiu, al cui abitato è più vicino geograficamente. Per accedere alla cascata principale occorre scendere in una lunga scalinata immersa in un bosco rigoglioso, sinchè si arriva ad un luogo fiabesco. Per visitare il primo salto, invece, occorre procedere su un sentiero che si snoda a mezza costa senza particolari asperità. L’ enorme incendio appiccato a fine luglio 2021, che ha interessato una vasta porzione boschiva del centro Sardegna, purtroppo ha irrimediabilmente alterato questo suggestivo palcoscenico naturale.

Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of land lying between the Adriatic Sea and Italy's border with Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin and Slavic cultures. In 2009, it had a population of about 205,000 and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trieste province.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague). In the fin-de-siecle period, it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. However, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Trieste's union to Italy after World War I led to some decline of its "Mittel-European" cultural and commercial importance. Enjoying an economic revival during the 1930s and throughout the Cold War, Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.

From the Botanical gardens in Uppsala, Sweden. This building is Linneanum, an orangery built in 1787-1807 as a place for lectures on botany held by the university. The left wing is used to house plants during the winter months, the right one is used as offices for SCAS (Swedish Collegium of Advanced Study), and all are still in the hands of Uppsala University.

View towards west from the observation deck of the new Shanghai Tower, currently the tallest building in Shanghai and the second tallest in the world.
This is the big Huangpu River bend, with the Bund, the mouth of Suzhou Creek and the twin towers of the Shanghai IFC in the lower foreground.
I added some notes to identify buildings or other features in the picture, some of these notes contain links.
And, as usual, flickr wrongly assigns "Hongkou" as location name.
