In order to get sunset pictures, the water taxis I took, speed out to the open waters of the lagoon that surrounds Venice! The sun's glow filled the sky and the water.

Note from 2021: It's hot, the south of the country is literally on fire, the north of the country is battling with floods, the pandemic continues to soar and nothing seems to change for the better; this is one of those moments in life, you feel you are losing it all. This place is a lighthouse in fog and storm. Keep your calm, stay on route, weather the times!
But my thoughts go to the people in Simbach/Inn (Lower Bavaria) - their town has been flooded by mud and heavy rain showers. Seven deaths have already been reported and some other people are still missing.
My view was mostly blocked by trees when a pair of swans flew right past me on a recent day, but I managed to grab a shot of one of them through an opening between leaves. I think the reverse "leafkeh" makes for a somewhat interesting look.

En la plaza Ernesto Erkoreka de Bilbao se encuentra el edificio del Ayuntamiento de dicha Ciudad, junto al rio Nervion, o RÃa de Bilbao y el Puente del Ayuntamiento.
El edificio fue inaugurado en el año 1.892, y es la cuarta casa consistorial que tiene Bilbao desde su fundación en el año 1.300.
En el solar donde hoy se levanta este edificio, existÃa el Convento de San AgustÃn, que se encontraba en ruinas tras la Primera Guerra Carlista; comenzando las obras en el año 1.883, y durando las mismas 9 años.
El exterior del edificio esta bastante ornamentado, contando con un eje principal, en el que se ubica el balcón principal y tres arcos con ocho columnas, además de estar coronado por un campanario y tener distribuidas por la fachada varios personajes destacado de la historia bilbaÃna.
En el interior destacan tres salas, el salón de recepciones, el salón de plenos y el vestÃbulo, asi como el cuerpo de escaleras.

Just foolin' around for Textural Tuesday. I started with a clear blue sky and ended up here. This Great Blue Heron is carrying a stick because it's on a nest-building mission.
HTT!
"Sou, sou desse jeito e não mudo
Na roça nós tem de tudo
e a vida não é mentira
Sou, sou livre feito um regato
Eu sou um bicho do mato
Me orgulho de ser caipira"

Having now seen the American and European Kestrel side by side I have to say the American one is far more photogenic, however in this particular case it was also the most vocal :-).
Here's one of my favorite takes from our trip to the Silver Thread byway this past fall. I am in love with the complex geology on display and couldn't have asked for nicer fall color.
Have a great week all!

But the upper floors of the Petrie Building are vacant, and the green paint is there to cover long boarded up windows.
