El P. N. de Ordesa y Monte Perdido es un espectáculo, sin duda se trata de un lugar extraordinario que cuando lo visitas te sorprende enorme y gratamente. Los colores del Otoño son pura fantasía que te transportan a mundos oníricos y te embriaga una sensación de estar en algún lugar de otro planeta. Pero no, estás en Huesca, España.
Ya sé que nada tiene que ver este espectacular valle con la vida de Edith Piaf, pero no tengo remedio y muchas veces cuando veo un paisaje me viene a la memoria un libro o una película, por eso me parece que he titulado "La Vida en rosa"
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!!!

From a hill opposite the Passo Giau near Cortina d'Ampezzo I discovered this puddle in a meadow just below the pass. As it turned out, it was pretty muddy and served as a water trough to the cattle, yet enough to reflect a whole mountain range in it.
Von einer Anhöhe gegenüber dem Passo Giau nahe Cortina d’Ampezzo entdeckte ich diese Pfütze in einer Wiese etwas unterhalb des Passes. Wie sich heraus stellte, war sie ziemlich verschlammt und diente den Rindern als Wassertränke, dennoch ausreichend, um ein ganzes Gebirge darin zu spiegeln.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Honningsvåg is the northernmost city of Norway located in the Nordkapp (North Cape) municipality. Although it is located at the northern extreme of Europe, it has a subarctic climate without permafrost, thanks to the Gulf Stream. The ice-free Barents Sea provides rich fisheries. Tourism is also important to the town. The North Cape’s midnight sun is famous. It never rises in winter or sets in summer and in fact, it is only 2,100 km (1,300 mi) from the North Pole.

Selva de Irati, Navarra, España.
El bosque o la selva de Irati (Iratiko oihana en euskera) es un bosque repartido entre el norte de Navarra (España) y los Pirineos Atlánticos (Sola y Baja Navarra) en el suroeste de Francia.
Por su parte española está situada en el valle del río Irati, entre los montes de Orzanzurieta y Roncesvalles al oeste, y el monte Orhi al este. El límite sur lo pone la imponente mole de la Sierra de Abodi. Los principales accesos son por el oeste por Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) y por el este por Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).
Se trata de la mayor masa forestal de Navarra y uno de los mayores y mejor conservados bosques de hayas (Fagus sylvatica) y abetos (Abies alba) de toda Europa. A pesar de ser un bosque explotado forestalmente desde los siglos XVI-XVII, el respeto y el buen hacer de los habitantes de estos valles ha hecho que se conserve en total plenitud. Existen dentro de la zona diversos espacios protegidos: todo el Irati es una ZEPA (Zona de Especial Protección de Aves), así como zonas protegidas como Reserva Natural o Reserva Integral del total de 17.000 ha del bosque.
The Irati forest or jungle (Iratiko oihana in Basque) is a forest distributed between the north of Navarra (Spain) and the Atlantic Pyrenees (Sola and Lower Navarra) in southwestern France.
For its Spanish part, it is located in the valley of the Irati river, between the Orzanzurieta and Roncesvalles mountains to the west, and the Orhi mountain to the east. The southern limit is set by the imposing mass of the Sierra de Abodi. The main accesses are to the west through Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) and to the east through Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).
It is the largest forest mass in Navarra and one of the largest and best preserved beech (Fagus sylvatica) and fir (Abies alba) forests in all of Europe. Despite being a forest exploited by forestry since the 16th-17th centuries, the respect and good work of the inhabitants of these valleys has made it fully preserved. There are several protected areas within the area: the entire Irati is a ZEPA (Special Bird Protection Area), as well as protected areas such as Natural Reserve or Integral Reserve of the total 17,000 ha of forest.

Hiking in Switzerland ; Grindelwald , First , above Bachsee . No. 8957.
"It's impossible to imagine the Swiss mountain world as more idyllic than the area surrounding Lake Bachalpsee. The snow-covered peaks of the Alps are reflected in the crystal clear blue water.
First is the starting point for hikes and it offers action: An adrenaline rush and speed thrills are guaranteed on the First Flyer, trottibike scooters or bikes. Children can have fun on the 700-m² playground at the Bort intermediate station."
Trois étapes vous seront nécessaires pour débarquer en toute tranquillité dans cet écrin de nature montagnarde paradisiaque. A 2200 mètres d'altitude, le First offre des panoramas étourdissants, notamment une vue imprenable sur sept 4000 des Alpes bernoises.
En une petite heure de marche à travers pâturages et chemins pédestres bucoliques, vous atteignez le superbe lac Bachalpsee et ses eaux cristallines. De tous les côtés, des points de vue pittoresques. Inoubliable ascension. Pour un peu de culture, passez donc la nuit au Berghotel Faulhorn, le plus ancien hôtel de montagne de Suisse!
Der First ist eine Verflachung des Südwest-Rückens zum Widderfeldgrätli (2'632 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland nördlich oberhalb von Grindelwald. Er ist über eine Gondelbahn oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die obere Bergstation heisst ebenfalls First (2'167 m ü. M.) und steht den Besuchern im Winter und im Sommer mit einem gut ausgebauten Ski- und Wandergebiet zur Verfügung.
Besonders beliebt ist die Wanderung zum Bachalpsee und weiter zum Faulhorn, die ein spektakuläres Panorama mit Blick auf den oberen Grindelwaldgletscher sowie Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bietet. Eine weitere interessante Wanderung führt auf das Schwarzhorn. Östlich von First liegt 5,6 Kilometer zu Fuss entfernt die Grosse Scheidegg.
Der First ist ein Startort für Paraglider und Deltasegler sowie Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Mountainbiketouren. Station First bietet auch einen imposanten kurvenreichen Schlittenweg, welcher bei guten Schneeverhältnissen direkt nach Grindelwald führt.

Mesa Verde National Park was established in 1906 to preserve the archeological heritage of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home for over 700 years, from 600 to 1300 CE. Today, the park protects nearly 5,000 known archeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings.
Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The structure built by the Anasazi ancestral Puebloans is located in Mesa Verde National Park in their former homeland region. They occupied the Mesa Verde region from about 450 AD to 1300 AD. It was discovered 1888 by two cowboys looking for stray cattle.
Victoria ist eine Pflanzengattung in der Familie der Seerosengewächse (Nymphaeaceae), die aufgrund ihrer enormen Blattgröße im deutschen auch Riesenseerosen genannt werden. Kurz bevor ich von Bayern weggezogen bin, war ich das letzte Mal im Botanischen Garten in Erlangen. Ich wurde von Mutter Natur beschenkt mit einer seltenen Fotografie der Victoria-Seerose. Viele Jahre hatte ich im Botanischen Garten in Erlangen fotografiert und hatte niemals die Möglichkeit gehabt die Victoria-Blüte zu sehen, da normalerweise nur Nachts die Blüte aufgeht und es die Öffnungszeiten nicht zuließ, diese wunderbare Blüte zu fotografieren. Es war ein kühler Morgen und ich war überrascht als ich die offene Blüte der Victoria sehen durfte.
Viel Spaß beim betrachten.
Victoria is a genus in the family Nymphaeaceae (Nymphaeaceae), called because of their enormous size sheet in German giants lilies. Just before I moved away from bavaria, I was the last time at the Botanical Garden in Erlangen. I was gifted by Mother Nature with a rare photograph of the Victoria lily. For many years I had photographed at the Botanical Garden in Erlangen and had never had the opportunity, the Victoria Bloom to see because usually only at night the flower opens and did not allow the opening times to photograph this wonderful flower. It was a cool morning and I was surprised when I could see the open flower of Victoria.
Have fun look.
维多利亚是在家庭睡莲科(睡莲),称由于他们规模巨大薄板德甲豪门百合属。就在我来自巴伐利亚搬走了,我在植物园埃尔兰根最后一次。我被大自然与维多利亚的罕见照片百合优。多年来,我在植物园埃尔兰根拍下了,从来没有机会,维多利亚布鲁姆看到因为通常只在夜间花开,并没有允许开放时间拍摄这个美好的花。那是一个凉爽的早晨,我很惊讶,当我可以看到维多利亚开放的花。
玩得开心的样子。
