Come gradini da non salire potrei scegliere di non far scorrere il tempo, restare a guardare in attesa, sospiri, come restare fermi agli antichi luoghi e lì bloccare i ricordi, dove il futuro... è solo il prossimo gradino di un lontano passato.
(per chi sa sostare la vita gustandone gli attimi.)

There are three species, the Bohemian, cedar, and Japanese waxwings. The Bohemian waxwing is a is short-tailed, mainly brownish-grey, and has a conspicuous crest on its head. The wings are very distinctive; the flight feathers are black and the primaries have markings that produce a yellow stripe and white "fishhooks" on the closed wing.
Waxwings are primarily fruit eaters, but also consume insects during the breeding season. Mosquitoes and midges are the most common prey, but many other insects and some spiders are eaten.

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.
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.

Played around with a few different ideas for this week's Macro Mondays theme, "Flowers". I think this is exactly the look I was after and the Meyer Optik 50mm at f/2.0 gave me the dreamy smooth bokeh I wanted in a shallow DoF shot! Approximately 1.5 inch squared of a red rose bloom.

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.

This building began as the mausoleum of emperor Hadrian. He began work here already in 125 A.D., and it was finished by his successor in 139, a year after the death of Hadrian. It was not just for Hadrian himself, but also his family, the buried here included his wife Sabina, Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina Maior, Lucius Aelius Caesar, Commodus, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus and his wife Julia Domna, Geta and Caracalla. Caracalla's burial in 217 A.D. is the last recorded one in the mausoleum.
In 401 it was turned into a fortress and got built into the Aurelian wall. When Alaric and the Visigoths sacked Rome in 410 A.D. the place was looted and the urns taken away and the ashes scattered. And in 590 an angel is supposed to have appeared on the roof - where the bronze statue now can be found - given the place its current name.
The popes rebuilt the mausoleum/fortress several times, continuing to use it as a fortress, connected to St Peter through a covered fortified corridor and a lot of structural revisions were made in the 16th century making it a Roman/Renaissance crossover.

Buckingham Fountain is a Chicago landmark in the center of Grant Park. Dedicated in 1927, it is one of the largest fountains in the world. Built in a rococo wedding cake style and inspired by the Latona Fountain at the Palace of Versailles, it is meant to allegorically represent Lake Michigan. It operates from April to October, with regular water shows and evening color-light shows. During the winter, the fountain is decorated with festival lights.
