I used to think of her as 'my tree'

but she's world famous in New Zealand ;-)

Still.. I can't resist spending time with her...

so I'm adding to a small series of images

I've made of her over the years.

More to follow ;-)

 

Really she's a superstar... for a glimpse of some of the many images of her around: www.google.co.nz/search?q=Lone+Tree+of+Wanaka&client=... :-)

The Bank of America Tower soars into the sky, a prominent feature of Downtown Fort Worth's skyline in Texas.

Taughannock Falls Creek. The limestone surface is full of solution pits that were formed from rain over a very long time. I never saw this before so I had to enquire about it and look it up. Nature is amazing!

From this point you can see Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier in mainland Norway. Views like this is hard not to fall in love with.

Thanks for your visit and comments, I appreciate that very much!

Alone in a field of dreams

Strolling at the village of old Pedino (Lemnos island) an August morning during last summer, I was excited to see the wonderful transformation of a prior abandoned relic to this lovely art shop.

In case you're interested to see its prior state here's the link www.flickr.com/photos/nikoskotanidis/7823448936/in/datepo...

 

Location, Old Pedino village, Lemnos island, Hellas.

Taken on my iPhone as I walked down the garden after putting our chickens away the other night. I thought how dramatic the newly emerged Amaryllis leaves looked silhouetted through our orange kitchen window blind HSS!

Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.

 

Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.

It was our usual walk, for which I took my camera and tripod, in the hope that I would find Sasanki. Unfortunately, this year, in the place where they grew, I did not find them - nothing is lost, maybe tomorrow in another place. My wife and I took a slightly different route than usual, behind the castle towards Zychorzyn i Rusinów. There, a small river Brzuśnia flows out of the forest (the right tributary of the Drzewiczka). There is usually a pool in front of the bridge and a small clearing next to it strewn with yellow spring flowers with butterflies bending over them. We went down there, and there were real wonders, in the comfort and warm spring sun. This is the first photo from here. In this case, focusing is the key to taking full advantage of this lens.

Found her during a fototrip in Darmstadt Park Rosenhöhe with my fotofriend Dagmar www.flickr.com/photos/137645690@N02/

on a dull day. At a time, the sun came out.... what luck !!

 

The Rosenhöhe (Rose Heights) is a beautiful garden, which was previously a vineyard in the possession of the royal house. It was transformed into a landscaped garden in the English style at the beginning of the 19th century. The royal architect Georg Moller decorated the park with tea-houses and pavilions.

The mystical park serves also as the cemetery for the Duches of Darmstadt with two impressive mausoleum buildings in its remote parts.

Reminder of a perfect blue hour in a long exposure of 81 seconds.

My last night in Amsterdam.

I wanted to take all colors, from every corner. I did not reach time. Now, I think I should have stayed all night without sleep. But I was tired and felt very cold. I hope to return to this beautiful city.

... I think...

Peričnik Falls is one of the best-known waterfalls in Slovenia. It flows from a hanging valley in Triglav National Park into the glacial Vrata Valley, where the water of Peričnik Creek then flows into Bistrica Creek.

 

I had to deal with persistent showers when I got here although the showers relented from time to time making some shots possible. The valley was bursting with autumn colours and the walk up to the falls is short and intense.

 

The blend of red, orange and yellow colours coupled with flowing water and a big rocky outcrop, makes for a compelling viewing, especially if you love waterfalls. Kinda like xmas coming early :)

 

It is one of the most beautiful waterfalls you will ever see and oh..slap means waterfalls in Slovenian :)
