The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
Location: The river Prüm in Irrel in the South Eifel near the Luxembourg border and not far from my home.
Looking for new perspectives today I found this place, where you stand in the water. There I hear then only the sound of water, a true meditation.
Ort: Das Flüsschen Prüm bei Irrel in der Südeifel nahe der luxemburgischen Grenze und nicht weit von meiner Heimat.
Auf der Suche nach neuen Perspektiven habe ich heute diese Stelle gefunden, bei der man auch ins Wasser muss. Dort höre ich dann nur das Rauschen des Wassers, eine wahre Meditation.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Crystal Beach is a community within Fort Erie, Ontario with a population of 3,800. It was named for the "crystal-clear" water conditions present when it was founded on the northeast shore of Lake Erie, across from Buffalo
Crystal Beach Amusement Park occupied waterfront land within Crystal Beach from 1888 until the park's closure in 1989. The property was once a health spa whose buildings were sited near and on a natural sand dune fifty feet high and 1,200 feet long parallel to the shore. Part of the dune was excavated to open up land for the spa. In 1888, the spa was replaced by the amusement park, which has since itself been replaced by Crystal Beach Tennis & Yacht Club

The Preto river, which rises at the base of Pico do Cristal, forms the Farofa, Sete Pilões and Aurélio waterfalls, on the Minas side.
The Sete Pilões waterfall is close to the Macieira camp and can be accessed by a 210 m / 689 ft long trail. Along its route, there are several practically circular wells with bluish water, which resemble pylons.
Camping at 1,860 m / 6,102 ft of altitude and that can be reached by 3,3 km / 2,05 miles of roads from the entrance of Pedra Menina (Espírito Santo State), being close to the São Domingos River.

In the distance, the Strasbourg Cathedral or the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, or Cathédrale de Strasbourg, German: Liebfrauenmünster zu Straßburg or Straßburger Münster), also known as Strasbourg Minster, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Strasbourg, Alsace, France. Although considerable parts of it are still in Romanesque architecture, it is widely considered to be among the finest examples of high, or late, Gothic architecture.

My friend and I had hoped to capture a nice sunrise on the icy shores of Lake Ontario today....but with the warmer than usual weather we've had, there was little ice to be found and no beautiful sunrise. Instead we found this dirty patch of ice on the rocks and used our flashlights to do some light painting. Two different lights cast a warm and cool glow which made the one rock look like "gold"
Le Gour Emir est un mausolée situé à Samarcande, en Ouzbékistan, lieu de sépulture de Tamerlan (aussi connu sous le nom de Timour, Timur Lang ou Timour le boiteux) et de sa descendance.
Le Gour Emir (traduction : tombe de l'émir) occupe une place importante dans l'histoire de l'architecture persane. Il est en effet le précurseur et le modèle des grandes sépultures mogholes, comme le tombeau de Humayun à Delhi ou le Taj Mahal à Āgrā. Il fut aussi la source d'inspiration principale de Nicolas Vassiliev pour la mosquée de Saint-Pétersbourg en 1910.
Un premier mausolée a été construit en 1401, du vivant de Tamerlan, par son petit-fils préféré et successeur désigné, Muhammad Sultan, pour y abriter la dépouille de son grand-père, alors que celui-ci désirait être enterré sobrement, à l'instar de Gengis Khan. « Juste une pierre et mon nom dessus » avait-il dit.
Ce mausolée était un ensemble architectural construit autour d'une cour intérieure bordée de quatre iwan. À l'est se dressait une madrasa, tandis qu'à l'ouest s'élevait une khanaka où se trouvait une mosquée à coupole. Comme au Taj Mahal actuellement, la construction était entourée de quatre minarets. Aujourd'hui, il ne reste que les traces des fondations de ce mausolée, le portail encore richement décoré où subsiste l'inscription en persan « Construit par le faible esclave Mohamed, fils de Mahmoud, d'Ispahan » et une partie de l'iwan clôturant la cour intérieure du côté sud.
Mais Muhammad Sultan est tué lors d'une campagne en Perse en 1403 et Tamerlan fit alors construire un autre mausolée qu'il désirait le plus beau qui soit. À peine le dôme surmontant la mausolée achevé, Tamerlan le fit détruire, exigeant la construction d'un dôme plus imposant. Les ouvriers travaillèrent jour et nuit, terminant l'édifice en quinze jours !
En 1405, Tamerlan meurt et son corps embaumé de musc et de camphre est secrètement enterré aux côtés de Muhammad Sultan dans la khanaka du premier ensemble, situé juste devant le Gour Emir.
Les luttes de succession ayant pris fin en 1409, les dépouilles furent translatées au Gour Emir, où elles se trouvent toujours. Tamerlan repose aux pieds de son maître spirituel le cheik Mir-Said-Bereke, suivant sa volonté.
Le petit-fils de Tamerlan, l'architecte, astronome et savant Ulugh Beg rapporta de Mongolie le bloc de néphrite (du jade) qui recouvre le tombeau de Tamerlan qu'il entoura d'une barrière de marbre ajouré.

Piekny fragment wiersza Jana Kasprowicza , ktory zalaczyla w swoim komentarzu wielbiaca poezje, podobnie jak ja, Małgorzata P :)
"Szumna siklawa mknie po skale
pas rozwijając srebrnolity
a przez mgły idą, przez błękity
jakby wzdychania, jakby żale ..."

Мы постепенно двигались в сторону основной точки съемки, до рассвета оставался примерно час. Туман продолжал сгущаться и на сильном морозе мы целиком покрылись инеем. Ярко светила полная луна, на рассвете она стала оранжевой. Все это создавало отличные условия для съемки. Времени было полно и мы особо не торопились, фотографировали всякое. Это один из таких снимков, ничего особенного, просто туманный рассвет.
We gradually moved towards the main shooting point, about an hour remained until dawn. The fog continued to thicken and in the bitter cold we were completely covered with frost. The full moon shone brightly, turning orange at dawn. All this created excellent conditions for shooting. There was plenty of time and we were not particularly in a hurry, taking pictures of everything. This is one of those shots, nothing special, just a hazy sunrise.
First I stopped in this beautiful park on the way to Lewis river falls. The current was very fast, and there was no reflection at all. I came here again early in the morning. The flow of the river was still strong, but when the sun lit the hill and the trees behind the bridge, the view was simply magical.
