Around lake Rådasjön a nature reserve consists, apart from the lake, the surrounding land areas with riparian forests, open pastures and deciduous forests of mainly oak. The entire area is a well preserved example of a Swedish west higher class environment around Rada manor and together with the adjacent castle Gunnebo formed a biologically and historically valuable whole. The nature reserve includes several valuable habitats which now has little distribution in Sweden. Rådasjöns Reserve is 351 hectares and is located in close proximity to urban areas Molnlycke and Mölndal
Cette photo a été inspirée par le vide totale de la rue tout juste après minuit, donc on pouvait tout se permettre sans aucune précipitation.

Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.
Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.
Another sunset picture taken on the Grand Canal. In Venice, there are many beautiful bridges and steeples.

Newport, Rhode Island
A variation on a color image I posted a while back---this one from a slightly different position and later time (allowing for the lights on the distant Newport Bridge to be seen if you zoom in near the lighthouse).
Castle Hill Light overlooks the East Passage of Narragansett Bay. Across the way is Conanicut Island (a.k.a Jamestown) which is connected to mainland Rhode Island by the Jamestown-Verrazano Bridge to the west and the Claiborne Pell (a.k.a. Newport) Bridge to the east, the latter just visible here to the left of the lighthouse. This was taken at the end of a gorgeous day for early March in southern New England; as a result I had to share the rocks with two other photographers, but we managed to stay out of each other's way. Now that we're headed into summer, this spot will be littered with people (tourists and locals alike) and un-photographable.

I don't know if there is a word for an alley, when it's a canal. But if there is one, this would be one I think. Bruges is a beautiful medieval city in Belgium. It's worth a visit if you get the chance.

Instant Karma by John Lennon:
"Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you."
Pictured here is the remains of the (aptly named) SS Instant Karma. Just as Mr. Lennon predicted, Instant Karma was knocked right upside her head (or bow), as she now lies forever in the shallows of the Captree Boat Basin.

This is the last post of this forest serie and I really look forward to more situations like this one with the fog but unfortunately there aren't nearby were I live, unless I do wake up 4 in the morning... nah not me...
The picture had purple fringing (also on some of the previously posted but in this one it was more marcant) therefore I made some heavier editing (denoise, desaturation, illuminate). Sometimes, in my modest opinion, heavier editing give an unexpected positively result and in this case I do like a lot the painterly, artistic look.
A note regarding flickr automatic tags: this time it got it right... The tree trunks do look like columns.. .like remnants of an ancient civilization....
