I had the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon in 2012 with photographer friends. The sunset on this day was absolutely wonderful.
Thank you for your visits and comments.
Have a great week.

Not anxious or anything, but five weeks from today, we will be headed "home" to the mountains (Glacier & Banff)...plus I thought this nice snowy sunset scene would be a nice mental cool down from day number 22 of heat averaging over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I know people across the U.S. are dealing with similar weather, so stay cool & safe. Happy Friday!!!!! Thanks for visiting & commenting :-)

Markgräfliches Opernhaus, Bayreuth. Das Opernhaus wurde von 1744-1750 vom Markgrafenpaar Friedrich und Wilhelmine erbaut. Es wurde nie zerstört und ist bis heute im original spätbarocken Stil erhalten. Nachdem es 2012 zum UNESCO Weltkulturerbe erklärt wurde, hat man es 6 Jahre lang restauriert und im April 2018 wieder geöffnet.
Ich hatte großes Glück, das Haus mit einer sehr kleinen Besuchergruppe besichtigen zu können, so dass es mir gelang, keine Besucher mit abzubilden.
Margravial Opera House, Bayreuth. The opera house was built from 1744-1750 by margrave Friedrich and Wilhelmine. It was never destroyed and is still preserved in the original late Baroque style. After being declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012, it has been restored for 6 years and reopened in April 2018.
I was very fortunate to be able to visit the house with a very small group of visitors, so I managed not to show any visitors.

Kast on left, Fork on right. Kera made the good time happen. Kudos!
I was going to have another crack at the horsehead tonight, but the high cloud was still about so I went for this instead (Alnitak doesn't like high cloud). Glad I did really - I've never got so much out of M42. Had to stop at 35 minutes because the clouds rolled in, but I had planned for 90 minutes - shame. First process, slightly hurried. I'll do it again when I get the chance.

Leaves, wet from all the rain we've had due to Hurricane Sandy, from the red/sugar maple tree in my front yard. The leaves are the most brilliant red and just perfect for the Canadian Flag.
When I first arrived at San Joaquin Marsh, these two Grebes were close to the shore. My heart skipped a beat because I thought they may be the Clark's Grebes with the babies. But no, it was the Western Grebe.
The two Grebes are almost identical except Clark's have more white around the eye and a brighter bill. These Western Grebe's were so close that I was able to get a full frame shot of the two of them together in the calm water of the early morning.

Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 28 miles (45 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 165,521. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people at the 2015 census.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty-six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.

Mount Ngauruhoe is an active stratovolcano or composite cone. It is the youngest vent in the Tongariro volcanic complex on the Central Plateau of the North Island, and first erupted about 2,500 years ago. Mt. Ngauruhoe erupted 45 times in the 20th century, and most recently in 2012.
