(13/365) Beautiful sunny day after a sharp frost. This is Grange beach near the village of Fethard-on-Sea HFF!
La Torre del Agua fue uno de los puntos de mayor interés para los visitantes de la Expo tanto por su impresionante diseño como por la exposición que albergó en su interior: Agua para la vida. El espacio expositivo planteaba un recorrido en itinerario ascendente y descendente por medio de rampas que recorrían en su totalidad sus 73 metros de altura.
El edificio consta de dos zonas diferenciadas, la inferior está formado por tres plantas, de las que dos están enterradas y una, alzada sobre la rasante, forma la planta baja. Este zócalo sirve de base a la torre, cuyas fachadas de muro cortina acristalado se proyectan hacia el cielo.
Algunos de los elementos que caracterizan el edificio son la cortina de agua de 32 m de largo por 3 de alto situada en la entrada del zócalo y una espectacular fuente de agua-lluvia situada en su zona central. En el interior de la Torre, hueca, cuelga Splash, una escultura de 23 metros de altura que reproduce una salpicadura de agua. En la planta superior se situaba un bar panorámico.
Agua para la vida es el título de la exposición que el visitante pudo ver durante la Expo 2008. Desde un enfoque biocéntrico (los seres humanos pertenecemos a la naturaleza, y no a la inversa), el espacio pretendía hacer reflexionar sobre la importancia del agua como elemento esencial para la naturaleza y la supervivencia del planeta, y sobre la estrecha relación entre Naturaleza y Cultura.
Los medios audiovisuales y la iluminación tienen un papel fundamental en la forma de comunicar los contenidos, ya que no solo se trata de transmitir conceptos al visitante, sino también sensaciones y emociones. La muestra se organizaba en torno a los siguientes ejes temáticos: la cantidad de agua en el planeta siempre es la misma, la metamorfosis del agua, el agua se mueve, el poder creador del agua, somos agua, y agua, inspiradora del ser humano.

A beautiful white sandy beach
the sun

the waves
you by my side
holding hands
you in my heart
our love always young
now I know
love is not blind

With the fountains reflected in the Mittelkanal.
Built 1701-1704 by Enrico Zuccalli for the Elector of Bavaria, Maximilian II Emanuel, who expected to become emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and therefore needed a representative new residence.
Unfortunately Maximilian II Emanuel never became the emperor...

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.
75% of getting a good shot is being there :-) I spend a lot of time scouting and looking for scenes and responding to changes in the light and landscape.
It had rained pretty heavy just hours before, and the water here is paper-thin, just enough for a reflection. No way was I going to pass this spot up.

Part two of the whimbrel squabble over a sand crab. The indignant one on the left is the one that originally dug up the crab from the sand and the one doing the snatching is the interloper.
Thanks for viewing! I so appreciate you taking the time to visit and comment!

Mt. Sinopah catches the sunrise nicely before the daily winds arrive to roil the waters of Pray Lake.
To the Blackfeet tribe the Two Medicine area was considered the "Backbone of the World" and were frequented during vision quests. They had it right as I'm always spiritually moved when here.
I posted an overview of the Two Medicine area yesterday.
A few other images of Mt. Sinopah in comments.
May your day have a little magic in it.

Il paese si arrocca su una zona completamente collinare ai piedi delle prealpi Bellunesi (monte Cimon, 1438 m s.l.m.), a metà strada tra Miane e Guia di Valdobbiadene.
I boschi dei dintorni sono prevalentemente castagneti. I castagni furono introdotti nel medioevo per fini alimentari e gradualmente sostituirono le querce originarie; dopo un periodo di crisi, in tempi recenti la coltivazione è stata rivalorizzata con il riconoscimento del marco IGP al marrone di Combai. Per il resto il paesaggio si caratterizza per la presenza di vigneti per la produzione di prosecco e verdiso.
Degne di nota le spinonce, dei caratteristici anfratti naturali.

The fountain was cast in Paris and completed for the 1876 International Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, the same exhibit at which Bartholdi displayed the Statue of Liberty’s right arm and torch. Bartholdi had originally intended to complete the Statue of Liberty in 1876 in time for the Country's Centennial, but construction was delayed. While the remainder of the statue was being completed in Paris, Bartholdi displayed the arm and torch at the Philadelphia Exhibition, along with his commissioned fountain
