Castle garden of the Charlottenburg Palace. Processed in ON1 Photo RAW 2019 using a preset ("Photomorphis Secret Sauce") which I then tweaked to my liking.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone :-)
Charlottenburg Palace was originally commissioned by Sophia Charlotte of Hanover (1668 - 1705). She was the first Queen consort in Prussia, after her husband, the former Elector of Brandenburg
(Frederick III), crowned himself the first Prussian King Frederick I in 1701. Sophia Charlotte and Frederick founded a famous dynasty of Prussian kings with their son Frederick William I, also known as "Soldier King", and their grandson, Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great.
The original name of the palace, which was inaugurated in 1699, and which was used by Sophia Charlotte as a permanent residence, was "Lietzenburg" (Burg = castle), as it was built on the grounds of what then was the small village of Lietzow which was located 7 kilometers from Berlin. After Sophia Charlotte's untimely death on 1 February 1705 at the age of only 36, King Frederick I (re)named the castle and the adjoining village of Lietzow "Charlottenburg"
in her honour. Today Charlottenburg is, together with Wilmersdorf ("Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf"), one of Berlin's 12 boroughs.
Charlottes Garten
Garten des Schlosses Charlottenburg. Als das von Sophie Charlotte von Hannover (1668-1705) in Auftrag gegebene und von ihr bis zu ihrem frühen Tode als Residenz genutzte Schloss 1699 eingeweiht wurde, hieß es noch "Lietzenburg", da es auf dem Gelände des Dörfchens Lietzow errichtet worden war. Sophie Charlotte war mit dem ersten preußischen König Friedrich I. verheiratet, der Schloss und Dorf nach ihrem Tod ihr zu Ehren in "Charlottenburg" umbenannte. Charlottenburg ist heute zusammen
mit Wilmersdorf (Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf) einer von Berlins 12 Bezirken.
The site of Pisac, ancient Inca city in the Sacred Valley, is a spectacular beauty.

Jordan is amazing. The remains of Prehistoric, Greek, Roman, Biblical, Umayyad, Islamic and modern history abound...
A visit to Mt. Nebo, just 45 minutes south of the capital, Amman... this is the most agreed upon place where the Bible says Moses was allowed by God to view the Land of Promise. It is also where the Arc of the Covenant was supposedly hid for a brief period (not looking for faves... hehehe) and where Moses died and is interred (disputed).
The site is impressive and the view is certainly amazing with the Dead Sea to the left, the Jordan Valley directly in front, and across the Jordan River - the green splotch of Jericho can be seen. I was there in 2016. Amazing ruins; hope to return. On a clear day they say one cans see Jerusalem; but not yesterday.
The site includes a "basilica" built from the 4th to 6th centuries and used for a thousand years? I spent some time inside - it is one of the best restorations and protected sites I have ever seen. Can you feel "it?" The feeling of and connection to human history and spiritual gravity, to me, is unmistakable and undeniable... :-) Honestly it draws me to such places...
At nightfall, the Plaza de Armas of Cuzco shines brightly.

North Wales is a land of high mountains, rugged crags, tumbling rivers, clear lakes, ancient woodland and a varied coastline.
Within this, the old kingdom of Gwynedd is the jewel in the crown, known in Welsh as Eryri and in English as Snowdonia.
The Snowdonia National Park has 15 mountains that sit over 3000 feet and Yr Wyddfa, meaning burial mound in Welsh, sits as the chieftain of them all.

On the Plaza de Armas of Cuzco stands a Baroque jewel, the Church of the Society of Jesus. Its construction began in 1571 and spread over nearly a hundred years.

HOJAS AL VIENTO:
Splinky is a small man, a prisoner of the demon of solitude, who deals with his sadness by clinging to memories of the past that he gathers from a huge chest. He lives in the illusion that his old love still exists, and every day becomes more enamoured by a heap of old, lifeless things, but "SÃrio" the guardian angel, will make our clown live in the present, he will be able to say goodbye to his past, and embark on a new life...
Thank you for your visits comments and favs! :-)

We had got up at dawn, it was expected this morning to see the famous condors of the Colca Canyon.
An outstanding view of the all snowy and extinct Hulca Hualca volcano (6025m - 19767ft !) was there for us. The morning sun was already radiant in the azure sky.
The day started strong !
But what is this big cloud on the horizon among all this perfect blue ?

Quel est donc ce gros nuage à l'horizon ?
On s'était levé aux aurores, il était prévu ce matin d'aller voir les fameux condors du canyon de Colca.
Une vue extraordinaire sur le volcan éteint Hualca Hualca (6025m !) tout enneigé nous attendait. Le soleil matinal était déjà radieux dans l'azur du ciel.
La journée commençait très fort !
Mais quel est donc ce gros nuage à l'horizon au milieu de ce bleu parfait ?
