Catedral-basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza o Santo Templo Metropolitano de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza es un importante templo barroco de España.
Según la tradición, se trata del primer templo mariano de la Cristiandad, puesto que en él se conserva y venera el pilar —en realidad, una columna de jaspe— que, según la tradición, fue puesto por la Virgen María quien, viviendo aún en Jerusalén, se habría aparecido en carne mortal al apóstol Santiago el día 2 de enero del año 40. Documentalmente no hay pruebas de lo consignado en la tradición, cuyos pormenores datan de 1297 —en una bula del papa Bonifacio VIII— y 1299 —una declaración de los Jurados de Zaragoza—, donde por primera vez se atestigua la advocación de «Santa María del Pilar», tras emprender en 1293 el obispo Hugo de Mataplana una rehabilitación del edificio que amenazaba ruina, gracias a las donaciones propiciadas por la mencionada bula papal.

Marzamemi è una frazione marinara di cui una parte è del comune di Pachino da cui dista circa 3 km e una seconda parte è del comune di Noto da cui dista 20 km. Si trova in provincia di Siracusa.
A volte ci sembra di essere su una barca che naviga senza sapere verso quale porto si dirige.

Marzamemi is a seaside village of which a part is of the municipality of Pachino from which it is about 3 km away and a second part is of the municipality of Noto from which it is 20 km away. It is located in the province of Syracuse. Sicily
Sometimes we seem to be on a boat that sails without knowing which port it is heading to.

This worm gear came from my 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth window control mechanism that I had to replace. If you know me, you know I like little motors so I dissected out the motor and found this interesting worm gear. I've posted the complete armature part of the motor before and I even shot this gear once but never posted it. So, with "Screw" for the Macro Mondays theme this week I decided to shoot it again and see what I could come up with after a bit of cleaning. So much for the rusty lag bolt...
The worm screw gear is relatively small and measures 0.35 in. x 1.0 in. I used the Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro lens w/PK-12&13 Extension Tubes, 41.5mm total extension and a 30 image focus stack at f/5.6 to keep everything sharp. The first time I shot this I found the orange and blue clamps that I used to "suspend" the gear had snuck back into the reflection so I wrapped the clamps with my gold ribbon and taped some to a piece of cardboard that I placed below the gear. I used blue tape to hold the ribbon to the cardboard and it got picked up but I liked the look by the gold. You can also probable guess the color shirt I'm wearing.
Another very famous photo stop on Buttermere in the Lake District.Hopefully I will return here in winter when the single lonely tree is more isolated out in the lake. Still an amazing place with lots of opportunity with its beauty.
Porsguen est un petit port du Finistère protégé par sa grande digue. A certaines heures de la marée, ce petit port a des airs de lagon. Je vous laisse le soin d'en juger !

SÜDAFRIKA( South-Africa), Im Krüger-Nationalpark.
Kruger National Park is a South African National Park and one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of 19,623 km2 (7,576 sq mi) in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 km (220 mi) from north to south and 65 km (40 mi) from east to west.

Areas of the park were first protected by the government of the South African Republic in 1898, and it became South Africa's first national park in 1926.
To the west and south of the Kruger National Park are the two South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga, respectively. To the north is Zimbabwe, and to the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links Kruger National Park with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique.
The park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere, an area designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an International Man and Biosphere Reserve.
The ice is real, but there was some human help to build it like this in "Eispaläste Schwarzsee". Anyway, beautiful formations.

Villa Malfitano Whitaker si trova a Palermo, nell'odierna Via Dante, 167 ed è sede della Fondazione Whitaker.
Il progetto e la realizzazione risalgono al periodo che va tra il 1885 e il 1889 su progetto dell'architetto Ignazio Greco su commissione di Giuseppe Whitaker, imprenditore discendente di una famiglia inglese, stabilitosi a Palermo nella seconda metà del XIX secolo.
Una vez dejado atrás el Puente de San Martín, y subiendo la cuesta que nos lleva la Bajada de San Martín, nos encontramos con una de las puertas antiguas de la ciudad, de las mas bonitas de Toledo para mi. Se trata de la llamada Puerta del Cambrón, antiguamente Puerta de los Judíos, por su cercanía al barrio hebreo. La puerta tiene un origen muy antiguo, al parecer de origen visigodo. Hoy en día conserva parte de la estructura de época musulmana con un aspecto exterior de estilo renacentista, fruto de las remodelaciones acometidas en el S.XVI. En estas obras participaron los maestros de obra Hernán González, Diego de Velasco o Juan Bautista Monegro. La puerta consta de dos fachadas, una interior que mira hacia la ciudad y otra exterior hacia la Vega, constando cada una de dos torreones. En el centro existe un gran patio rectangular. En la zona superior estaban las habitaciones del guardián. La parte inferior de la fachada interior posee un arco entre columnas dóricas con un tipo de almohadillado serliano. En el centro de esta fachada se halla el gran escudo real encima de una urna con la imagen de Santa Leocadia, patrona de la ciudad. La foto la capté después de esperar...1 hora tal vez, era tal la cantidad de turistas por esta zona, que tuve que tener paciencia, sabéis que procuro hacerlas si es posible sin gente...

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!!
