Located nearby Liege (Belgium), the Prehistomuseum of Ramioul has been entirely renovated (2013-16). The new buildings have been designed by Gil Honoré who introduced natural materials (wood, straw insulation etc.) in a modern architectural design.
MYANMAR ,Burma - Old-Bagan, Sonnenuntergang mit Blick von der imposanten Shwesandaw-Pagode(Tempel)
MYANMAR ,burma - Old-Bagan , zum Sonnenuntergang auf die Shwesandaw-Pagode,
Zum Sonnenuntergang total überfüllt.
Die Stufenpyramide hat fünf quadratische Terrassen, dann zwei achteckige Zwischenstufen und schließlich den klassischen zylindrischen Stupa-Aufbau mit Glocke, Turban, doppeltem Lotus, Bananenknospe und Hti. An den vier Seiten führen bis zur fünften Terrasse Treppen hinauf. Früher dienten sie den Gläubigen, damit sie die inzwischen verschwundenen Terrakotta-Platten mit Szenen aus den Jatakas auf den einzelnen Terrassen erreichen konnten; heutzutage steigen Touristen hinauf, um den Sonnenuntergang zu bewundern.
Wir natürlich auch.
The rei runs from the meeting of the Groenerei and the Coupure to the Spiegelrei.
The street of the same name is located on the eastern bank and runs from Minneboplein and Leffingestraat to Carmersbrug and Carmersstraat. The Verversdijk is located on the western bank. The Sint-Annarei is spanned by the Molenbrug, the Sint-Annabrug and the Strobrug.
The name "Sint-Annarei" refers to the district and parish of Sint-Anna adjacent to the east. Originally the street west of the rei (now Verversdijk) was called the Schottendijk, because of the Scottish merchants established there.
There is little clarity about the artificiality of the Sint-Annarei. It may be the canalization of the lower reaches of the Vuldersreitje, a watercourse that came from Assebroek. From 1127 the Sint-Annarei was part of the first city walls of Bruges.
The Oude Molenpoort was located near the Molenbrug. Between 1623 and 1855 the Sint-Annarei was part of the canal between Ostend, Bruges and Ghent. The Ringvaart then took over this role. In 1750, all bridges over the Sint-Annarei were replaced by wooden (and later iron) swing bridges to allow passage for larger ships. In the 1970s the bridges were again replaced by the current stone bridges.
The former warehouse number 4 still bears witness to the medieval trading activities. The street also had two important breweries: brewery Den Hert, in house number 17, and brewery Den Arend, later brewery Aigle Belgica, in buildings numbers 23-27.
The Rococo house at number 22 of Sint-Annarei was inhabited in the nineteenth/twentieth century by doctor and art collector Désiré De Meyer, son of the surgeon and art collector Isaac De Meyer, and after him by the war pilot and brewer André De Meulemeester.
This house and the adjacent Blekersstraat were the setting for two well-known films: L'Empreinte de Dieu, after the book of the same name (Prix Goncourt 1936) by Maxence Van der Meersch, and The Nun's Story, a film by Fred Zinnemann with Audrey Hepburn.
Canyonlands National Park is a U.S. National Park located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab and preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, 224
Empty alley, closed doors... a cat staring at me... clouds gathering, it's about to rain. Where have all people gone?

We had a rare day recently when a gentle rain fell for much of the day. I took the opportunity to prop an umbrella atop a deck chair and grab a few shots through the open glass sliding door, without getting wet. :-) The refracted view in the droplet is an elongated view of the deck posts and railings.

The Schnoor quarter is the oldest documented quarter of Bremen and it has largely preserved its medieval character.
First mentioned in the 13th century. The two oldest remaining buildings are from 1401 and 1402 respectively. Some buildings are just remaining facades or have been relocated from other locations.

La luz tiende su velo de plata sobre el mar.
Sosegadas, las olas subliman el silencio
de los tímidos pasos del día
aventurándose en su costumbre
de ruidos ascendentes
La piel se recupera y va asumiendo
el esplendor del sol que ya prodiga
su lujo de colores y relieves
el mar azul, el avaro espejo
en que se mira el cielo soleado
y en su vaivén el rumor de las olas
sugiere un largo viaje a la memoria.
Cada día renueva su memoria viejos días
en la unidad de tiempo que es la vida
The light spawns its silver light over the sea.
Pacified, the waves magnify the silence
of the feeble steps of the day
venturing into their habit
of increasing noises.
The skin gets over and is assuming
the splendor of the sun which already lavishes
its luxury of colors and reliefs,
the blue sea, the greedy mirror
in which the sunny sky watches itself
and in its swinging the sound of the waves
suggests a long trip to memory.
Each day renews its memory, old days
in the time unit which is the life.

En ocasiones tenemos una idea preconcebida de una imagen, cierta composición que nos atrae, y esperamos que se produzca algo especial, pasan los días pero no obtenemos los resultados que esperábamos, derrepente un día ocurre eso que estábamos esperando y se produce tan rápidamente que o estamos preparados con todo dispuesto o se nos escapa, este es uno de esos procesos la luz comenzó a envolver los árboles de la zona izquierda de la composición otorgándoles un colorido para mi muy especial, pero el sol sólo permitió hacer apenas unas cuantas fotos en menos de 5 minutos este efecto ya se había evaporado y por suerte conseguí plasmarlo con bastante acierto en esta fotografia, espero les guste.
Muchas gracias a todos
Thanks so much!!

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.
MYANMAR, burma - rund um den Inle-See, ländliches Leben. Kinder und Rinder haben ihren Spass. Kinder und Rinder , der Stolz der Lanbevölkerung .
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!!!
