The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also known as the Holocaust Memorial, is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
It consists of a 19,000 square meter (4.7 acre) site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae", arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field.

My close friends in Bali took me to their village in Karengasem. Their neighbors just had a cremation and the day I came was the ngeroras ceremony. The celebration was replete with long processions and dramatic offerings, and performances involving the topeng (mask), the wayang (shadow puppet) and the rejang dewa. The latter is a dance by pre-pubescent girls in these lavishly tall homemade coconut leaf headresses called gelung rejang. Stretching from morning to midnight, the ceremony is a showcase of cultural purity. The village actually welcomed me fully and did not mind that there was one Filipino, albeit in Balinese attire, taking pictures as if there was no tomorrow.

Drats! How did I miss this??? Unforgivable!!! The bad thing is that it's not a common species around here, it's only the second time I spotted one in 4 years (here is the other one) and I managed to make a mess of all my captures that day...
This is a Violet Dropwing (Trithemis annulata) male.
Dranesville Tavern was built in 1823. In 1865, the Alexandria Gazette described Dranesville Tavern as "one of the finest roadside inns in the State of Virginia." That tradition of excellence and hospitality continues today at this beautifully restored National Historic Landmark.

No place for error!!Jelly legs garantyThe Cobbler walk (Ben Arthur walk) climb from arrochar 5.5 miles ..2900 feetThe Cobbler, or Ben Arthur to use the correct name is just short of a Munro but is still one of Scotland's most spectacular mountains due to the unusual skyline and fabulous views. The Cobbler is one of a group of mountains known as 'The Arrochar Alps' and was the happy hunting ground of many of Scotland's early climbers and climbing clubs.
This is that gate ("torii") that appears so often on any publicity material about Japan. And no wonder, it is an impressive thing to behold. It sits in the sea just off the shore of Miyajima island near Hiroshima. It was built as the main approach to Itsukushima shrine.
At ebb tide it stands free of water and you can walk right up to it. At high tide, tourist boats sail underneath it.
Montserrat, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
The mountain of Montserrat is a massif that towers over the right bank of the Llobregat River. This massif is one of the highest and rockiest sections in the Prelitoral Catalana mountain chain. The Monastery of Montserrat perches 725 metres above sea level, whilst, at an altitude of 1,236 metres, Sant Jeroni is the highest point in the massif.
Soaring up abruptly from the Llobregat River, these mountains appear higher than they really are. Nor are there any other mountains nearby that can compete with Montserrat in terms of altitude, so that the massif stands out even more in its solitary splendour.
The mountain is around 10 kilometres long and 5 wide, with a perimeter of some 25 kilometres. All in all, Montserrat covers an area of 45 square kilometres.
The silhouette of the massif calls to mind the toothed blade of a saw, and this explains its name, for Montserrat means “serrated or saw-toothed mountain”.

CASTELLANO
La montaña de Montserrat, situada a la derecha del río Llobregat, es uno de los conjuntos más altos y abruptos de la Sierra Prelitoral Catalana. El monasterio está situado a 725 m de altura sobre el nivel del mar, y San Jerónimo, a 1.236 m, es la cima más alta.
El conjunto de la montaña parece más alto porque se levanta bruscamente desde el río Llobregat hasta la cima. Tampoco hay ninguna montaña próxima que pueda competir en altura, de manera que queda aislada en este sector.
Mide unos diez kilómetros de longitud y unos cinco de ancho, con un perímetro de unos 25 kilómetros. La montaña, en su conjunto, tiene 45 kilómetros cuadrados de superficie.
Su silueta recuerda la hoja dentada de una sierra. Esto explica su nombre: Montserrat quiere decir ‘montaña serrada’.

*History: This town was founded in 1284 by the English King, Edward I, who was also had the title of Duke of Aquitaine. It is an example of an almost completely preserved bastides, which were fortified towns, built in the areas disputed by England and France in the 12th century. This attractive and peaceful village has a turbulent and violent history at the hands of various protagonists.
*Histoire: Monpazier est sans nul doute la bastide anglaise la mieux conservée du périgord par sa place à arcades, ses ruelles, ses maisons, ses églises et les vestiges de ses fortifications.
La ville forme un quadrilatère de 400 mètres sur 220 mètres dont le grand axe est orienté du Sud vers le nord. Toutes les maisons sont d'égales dimensions et sont séparées par d'étroits intervalles (andrones) prévus pour limiter la propagation des incendies.
Cette bastide fut fondée le 7 janvier 1284 par Edouard 1er, roi d'angleterre et duc d'angleterre sur des terrains cédés par le baron Pierre de Gontaut Biron. Ses habitants bénéficiaient de nombreux avantages comme l'exemption d'impôt et l'abolition du droit seigneurial.
Pendant la guerre de cent ans, Monpazier changea plusieurs fois de main. En 1637 une révolte de 8000 croquant naquit à Monpazier.

From high atop the Northernmost part of the Alabama Hills, I froze my butt off taking this hour-long time exposure. It was Winter and it was a very long time up there, This was done with Kodachrome 64 and the exposure was long enough to see the Valley and the mountains illuminated. Best if Big.
Bro suggested I take his mountain bike and trek out of the campground to get a better vantage point for shooting Mt. Fuji at sunset.
This is the result of his recommendation.
One exposure RAW shot converted into HDR of Mt. Fuji at dusk in Japan.

Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
A "discreet" parrot wanted to pass unnoticed between the herd of pigeons that pecked bread. Unfortunately for him it was discovered. In the last years the population of parrots in freedom in Barcelona has grown enormously, and they already dare to compete with the pigeons.
***
In 1714 Barcelona fell to the army of Philip V after a long siege. The dogged resistance of the city meant that its new rulers wanted to keep it under firm control.
A year later, Philip V ordered a giant new garrison fort, the largest in Europe, to be built in order to guard the city. The buildings of the Ribera district were demolished and in their place, in 1716, the new fortifications began to be erected, paid for by the city itself.
In 1841, the Junta de Vigilància (Board of the Guard) began to dismantle it, but under the Regency it was restored in 1843.
After the anti-Bourbon revolution of September 1868, the Catalan general Joan Prim decideded to turn over the garrison fort, the Ciutadella, to the city, which from 1869 to 1888 had it pulled down, this time definitively. All that was preserved was the Governor's palace, the chapel and the arsenal.
In 1888 Barcelona held a Universal Exhibition, inspired by Mayor Rius i Taulet, and the park was built on the grounds of the demolished Ciutadella. This event marks the end of the old provincial Barcelona and the establishment of a modern cosmopolitan city.
-----------------------
CASTELLANO
Un "discreto" loro quiso pasar desapercibido entre la manada de palomas que picoteaba pan. Lamentablemente para él fue descubierto. En los últimos años la población de loros en libertad en Barcelona ha crecido enormemente, y ya se atreven a competir con las palomas.
***
En al año 1714, Barcelona fue sometida a un largo asedio por el ejército de Felipe V. La larga resistencia que opuso la ciudad dio lugar a que este rey quisiera asegurar su dominio.
Un año después, Felipe V ordenó la construcción de la ciudadela más grande de Europa, con el objetivo de poder vigilar la ciudad, y para construirla hizo derribar el barrio de la Ribera. El año 1716 se comenzó a construir las edificaciones, que fueron pagadas por la ciudad.
En 1841, la Junta de Vigilancia inició su derribo, pero la Regencia la restauró el año 1843.
Durante la revolución de septiembre el general catalán Joan Prim decretó la donación de la Ciudadela a la ciudad, que entre los años 1869 y 1888 la hizo derribar definitivamente. Se han conservado el palacio del Gobernador, la capilla y el arsenal.
En 1888, con motivo de la Exposición Universal, promovida per el alcalde Rius i Taulet, se construyó el parque en los terrenos de la demolida Ciudadela. Este hecho cambió la orientación de la vida de la ciudad: Barcelona se transforma en una ciudad cosmopolita.
