The Dolomites are a mountain range located in northeastern Italy. Typical of the Dolomites are the steep cliffs and peaks created by erosion and weathering. They form a part of the Southern Alps. The Dolomites, also known as the Pale Mountains, take their name from the carbonate rock dolomite. In August 2009, the Dolomites were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Marmolada of 3343 meter high is the highest mountain of the Dolomites. On it's norther side there is flat glacier. The ridge is composed of several summits, decreasing in altitude from west to east. An aerial tramway goes to the top of Punta Rocca. During the ski season the Marmolada's main ski run is opened for skiers and snowboarders alike, making it possible to ski down into the valley. On the south wall of the Marmolada there are beautiful routes for mountaineers and many of them are also suitable for hiking.
Marmolada is a mountain in northeastern Italy and the highest mountain - 3342m, of the Dolomites, a section of the Alps. An aerial tramway goes to the top of Punta Rocca - The queen of the Dolomites. Its brilliant white glacier dominates many a beautiful panorama and is much admired by walkers from near and distant trails. The main slope is “La Bellunese”, which stretches from Punta Rocca 3269m down to Malga Ciapela at 1446m.
De Dolomieten zijn een bergketen in Italië die deel uitmaakt van de Zuidelijke Alpen. In 2009 werden de Dolomieten toegevoegd aan de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. Typisch voor de Dolomieten zijn de steile rotswanden en pieken, die zijn ontstaan door erosie en verwering. De bergketen is opgesplitst in twee delen: het oostelijke en het westelijke. De hoogste top van de Dolomieten, de Marmolada, is 3343 meter hoog. De Marmolada is een berg met een gletsjer. Nog ongeveer 15 andere bergen bereiken de grens van 3000 meter. Deze toppen zijn de hoogste bergtoppen in de Dolomieten en de Marmolada wordt daarom ook wel de koningin van de Dolomieten genoemd. De aanloop van de berg kan bereikt worden via de Fedaiapas. Je komt bij de Marmolada vanuit berghut Ciapela met een kabelbaan verdeeld in drie stukken: de eerste stopt bij Banc, de tweede gaat tot Serauta en de derde komt aan bij Punta Rocca. Vanaf hier gaat bij de berghut Ciapela de historische skipiste Bellunese naar beneden, 12 kilometer lang en zeker de mooiste piste van de Alpen. Op de zuidwand van de Marmolada zijn er prachtige routes voor bergbeklimmers en veel ervan zijn ook geschikt om te wandelen.

After a break with various other photos, i think it's time to get back to the American muscle series. The next featured car is a very ... famous one: General Lee from "The Dukes of Hazzard"! The original General Lee, or just General, was a 1969 Dodge Charger running on various versions of the classic V8 (from 5,2L to 7,2L) and delivering up to 370HP to the wheels. It was named after the American Civil war general Robert E. Lee and on its rooftop it bears a Confederate flag, a variant of the square battle flag of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Rumors has that General's doors were welded shut and that's why the brothers had to jump through the window to get in and out of the car. In this photo we have a General Lee replica that I found in a local car show a few months back. Interesting detail: at the background you can see a Dodge Challenger Hellcat (powered by a supercharged 6,2L V8 producing a whopping 707HP!), which in my eyes is the modern version of the classic Dodge Charger (although there is a modern Dodge Charger)
Dukes of Hazzard theme song:

Μετα απο ενα διαλειμμα με διαφορες φωτος, νομιζω ηρθε η ωρα να συνεχισω τη σειρα των American muscles. Το επομενο αμαξι ειναι ενα αρκετα ... διασημο: ο General Lee απο την τηλεοπτικη σειρα "The Dukes of Hazzard"! Ο αυθεντικος General Lee, η απλά General, ηταν ενα Dodge Charger του 1969 το οποιο φορουσε διαφορες εκδοσεις του κλασσικου V8 με τον κυβισμο να κυμαινεται μεταξυ 5,2 και 7,2 λίτρων και την αποδοση να φτάνει τους 370 ιππους. Πήρε το ονομα του απο τον στρατηγο Robert E. Lee του Αμερικανικου Εμφυλιου πολεμου και στην οροφη του φέρει μια Confederate σημαια απο το στρατο του Lee της Βόρειας Virginia. Φημες λενε οτι οι πορτες του General ηταν ηλεκτροκολλημενες και δεν ανοιγαν γιαυτο και οι αδερφοι Dukes πηδουσαν απο τα παραθυρα καθε φορα που ηθελαν να μπουν η να βγουν απο το αμαξι. Σε αυτη τη φωτο βλεπετε μια replica του General Lee που βρηκα σε ενα τοπικο auto show μερικους μηνες πριν. Ενδιαφερουσα λεπτομερεια: στο background φαινεται ενα Dodge Challenger Hellcat (εξοπλισμενο με εναν supercharged V8 6,2 λιτρων αποδοσης 707 ιππων) το οποιο κατα τη γνωμη μου ειναι ο λογικος απογονος του κλασσικου Dodge Charger (παροτι υπάρχει μοντερνα εκδοση του Charger).
The San Juan Bautista Indian Church in San Juan Chamula does not look great from the outside, but it's amazing inside (unfortunately photos are not allowed inside).
There is no bench. Instead, pine leaves dot the entire floor of the church. Thousands of candles are lit, and complete Indian families pray fervently on the floor.
The walls are dotted with statues of saints.
There is no priest, the bishop has the right to enter the church only once a year, for baptisms.
I felt inside this church an incredible mysticism and fervor!

Une église indienne incroyable
L'église indienne San Juan Bautista à San Juan Chamula ne paie pas de mine de l'extérieur, mais elle est incroyable à l'intérieur (malheureusement les photos y sont interdites).
Il n'y a aucun banc. A la place, des feuilles de pins parsèment tout le sol de l'église. Des milliers de bougies sont allumées, et des familles indiennes complètes prient avec ferveur assises sur le sol.
Les murs sont parsemés de statues de saints.
Il n'y a pas de prêtre, l’évêque n’a le droit d’entrer dans l’église qu’une seule fois par an, pour les baptêmes.
J'ai ressenti à l'intérieur de cette église un mysticisme et une ferveur incroyable !

Hverfjall crater near Myvatn lake in the north of Iceland.
This volcano is formed in the second volcanic cycle in this region. It began 2500 years ago with a gigantic but brief eruption, which formed the explosion crater (tephra ring).
This photo taken late in the evening, it was grey day, no sun, but on the sea was beautiful sky and we have some ice here (but no snow yet 😊). -4C but it was cold there because of the wind.

The giant prickly stick insect (Extatosoma tiaratum), also refferred to as spiny leaf insect, Australian walking stick and Macleay’s spectre, is a large stick insect from Australia (Queensland and New South Wales) and New Guinea. Like almost all 6000 stick insects it has a Phasmid Study Group number or PSG number: PSG 9.
This species of stick insect looks more like a cactus than like a twig. Its body is bulky and covered in small spines. On its legs it has big lobes that are also spiked and look like leaves of a desert plant. Extatosoma tiaratum are often light to mid brown, but occasionally you can find green, beige or dark brown varieties.
The difference between (adult) males and females is enormous.
The females are bulky, thick and 15 cm long. They have lots of spines on their back and large lobes on their legs.
The males are really slender, have little spines and reach a length of 9 to 11 cm. The adult males have long wings and are able to fly, while the females have small wings (about 2,5 cm long).
Like most stick insects this species is docile by nature. It is nocturnal and will generally only move during the night. It has an amazing defense strategy: it will mimic a scorpion when threatened. If they are disturbed, they will curl up their tail to mimic a scorpion.
De Australische flappentak of Australische doorntak (Extatosoma tiaratum) is een grote wandelende tak met flappen en stekeltjes.
Om de 6000 wandelende takken uit elkaar te houden, worden ze niet alleen aangeduid met een Latijnse naam, maar ook met een zogenaamd PSG-nummer. PSG staat voor Phasmid Study Group. Extatosoma tiaratum is PSG 9.
Dit insect komt voor in het Zuidwesten van Australië en op Nieuw-Guinea, in het tropisch- en het gematigd regenwoud.
Deze soort lijkt eigenlijk meer op een soort cactus dan op een tak of blad. Ze hebben opvallende stekeltjes en uitstulpingen op hun lijf. Ze zijn vaak bruin gekleurd; heel soms zijn er ook groene varianten van deze soort te vinden.
Wat opvalt is het grote verschil tussen mannetjes en vrouwtjes.
De vrouwtjes zijn dik, stekelig en kunnen wel 15 cm lang worden, met korte voelsprieten. Ze hebben kleine vleugeltjes maar kunnen niet vliegen. Bij gevaar rollen de vrouwtjes hun staart omhoog. Zo lijken ze op een dreigende schorpioen.
De mannetjes zijn juist smal met lange voelsprieten, weinig stekels en een lengte van ongeveer 10 cm. De mannetjes hebben, als ze volgroeid zijn, lange vleugels en kunnen ook echt vliegen.
Deze opname is gemaakt in de buitenrvolière van www.passiflorahoeve.nl bij Harskamp op de Veluwe.

Perugia, capital of the region of Umbria, is worth visiting. It covers a high hilltop and part of the valleys around the area. The history of Perugia goes back to the Etruscan period; Perugia was one of the main Etruscan cities. The city is also known as the universities town, with the University of Perugia founded in 1308. Perugia is also a well-known cultural and artistic centre of Italy. The city hosts multiple annual festivals and events.
Perugia historic centre is as compelling as any in Italy, filled with fine Etruscan, Roman and medieval monuments – just be prepared for lots of walking when visiting Perugia. Panoramic rooftop view from Porta Sole in Perugia. The highest District of all, flooded with light and sun. Please have an amazing 3D view from: earth.google.com.
Perugia is de hoofdstad van de regio Umbrië en ligt prachtig gelegen op een heuvel op 500 meter hoogte. De stad is rijk aan monumenten en kunstwerken die getuigen van een opeenvolging van culturen door de eeuwen heen, van de Etrusken tot de Romeinen, van de Middeleeuwen tot de Renaissance, tot het heden. Dit maakt Perugia tot een van de mooiste kunststeden van Toscane en Umbrië. Daarnaast is Perugia een echte universiteitsstad. De Universiteit van Perugia is een van de oudste van Europa. Perugia heeft een kosmopolitisch karakter, waar het heel goed toeven is. Perugia kent ook een prachtig centrum waar het heerlijk flaneren is over de Corso Vanucci, de centrale straat, alwaar u op een van de vele terrasjes kunt genieten van een espresso of een aperitief of van een heerlijke Umbrische maaltijd. De stad kent een terrasvormige opbouw met als middelpunt Piazza della Signoria met het Palazzo dei Consoli, een van de mooiste raadhuizen in Umbrië. Dit grote plein kijkt uit over de lagere gelegen delen van de stad en het glooiende landschap om Gubbio heen. Verdere bezienswaardigheden zijn de Palazzo Ducale, de Dom en vele andere kerken.

Perugia historic centre is as compelling as any in Italy, filled with fine Etruscan, Roman and medieval monuments – just be prepared for lots of walking when visiting Perugia. The capital city of Umbria, oozes with charm from almost every corner. There is the requisite town wall, a good chunk of which is still standing. Interesting architecture that hints at the city’s old age of 310 or 309 B.C. Panoramic view from Porta Sole on church Saint Maria Nuova. It's a parish documented since 1285, when the three portals that are still visible on the side are made. Damaged by fire, the church was rebuilt in 1376. It has been renovated and restored several times over the centuries. Please have an amazing 3D view from: earth.google.com.

De Santa Maria Nuova hierboven te zien is een parochie gedocumenteerd sinds 1285, toen de drie portalen die nog steeds aan de zijkant te zien zijn, zijn gemaakt. Beschadigd door brand, werd de kerk herbouwd in 1376. Door de eeuwen heen werd het meerdere malen gerenoveerd en gerestaureerd. Verdere bezienswaardigheden zijn de Palazzo Ducale, de Dom en vele andere kerken.
Ghost sign as seen on my travels in Troy, New York. Love the repair/modification work that took out the "w" in Stewart. Also, I find it interesting that the stars toward the top of the shot are not even across the building??

Piazza IV Novembre is located in the heart of Perugia, surrounded by some of the most impressive monuments in the city. The Griffin and the Lion are the two symbols of the city of Perugia above the entrance of Hall of Notaries. You will find Piazza IV Novembre in the center of Perugia, a few steps from some of the famous buildings in the city. This square is the ideal place to relax. In the neighborhood you can visit impressive art galleries, admire old buildings or see enormous cathedrals. On the square are numerous cafes and restaurants where you can recover from all the sightseeing.

Dit grote plein kijkt uit over de lagere gelegen delen van de stad en het glooiende landschap om Gubbio heen. Rocca Paolina een unieke bezienswaardigheid. Paus Paulus III gaf in 1540 een architect de opdracht om vestingmuren om de stad te bouwen. De architect koos er gelukkig voor om de poorten in de muur op te nemen. Op verschillende niveaus onder de grond dus, loop je door elkaar kruisende straatjes met tongewelven. Door bogen met elkaar verbonden middeleeuwse huizen, torens, waterputten. Over de Via Baglioni, de belangrijkste ondergrondse straat, kom je via een systeem van roltrappen boven bij Piazza Italia. Het Piazza IV Novembre ligt in het hart van Perugia en wordt omringd door enkele van de meest indrukwekkende monumenten uit de stad. Je vindt het Piazza IV Novembre in het centrum van Perugia, op een steenworp afstand van enkele van de bekende gebouwen in de stad. Dit plein is de ideale plek om even te ontspannen. In de buurt kun je indrukwekkende kunstgaleries bezoeken, oude gebouwen bewonderen of enorme kathedralen aanschouwen. Aan het plein liggen talloze cafés en restaurants waar je even kunt bijkomen van alle sightseeing.
This is just an excuse to use that ridiculous pun more than anything :D But its always nice to do some 'Lego arranging' rather than building for a change ;) (plus I'm secretly very proud of my use of a traffic cone haha!)
I'm not sure how 'legal' using paper-cut landing markings is considered but I think it looks more interesting than the plain black card my similar posts have had. I'm interested to know what people think on that though, obviously I'd rather use a full blown Lego hangar but the amount of parts/time that would use up doesn't justify its use in the occasional photo IMO :)

Flickr has endless problems for a long time. And these problems are growing every day.
1. When I want to open a group list I see this:
"Error loading groups
There was an issue loading the groups.
Click Reload to try again."
2. When I want to add photo in the group I see this:
"There was a problem adding this photo to the group."
3. I can't open notifications, it’s not working.
4. Flickr threw me out from my account on the mobile phone... And then writes that my password is incorrect, but it's correct...
5. Very slow loading of pages and opening of photos.
6. Pandas now live on everyone's page.
7. 2 days ago it was "Error - We couldn't post your comment".
8. Today I want to delete some images (gif-comments) and it’s a new issue:
”Error. We couldn't delete your comment.” (it's not my comment BTW)
9. When I click photos I see this: "We're having some trouble displaying this photo at the moment. Please try again."
10. "There was a problem retrieving your note to edit."
11. Flickr changed my album covers without any permission...
etc. etc. etc.

Previous night :
When I was talking to my sweetheart about finding the moss trolls in Hvalfjörður as a part of our next day programs, from the apartment living room that we rented, I watched the midnight sky, trying to read what weather might be when the sun showed its face in the morning. Above there was no star but some clouds were slowly rolling by.
I checked again the forecast, it showed that the weather should be fine until midday.
In the morning when we were ready to go, Little Dino rechecked the weather. She told me that THE FOG were over the pinned destination and it would be following by…..rain.
Little Dino seemed really disappointed but the next plans we had wouldn’t make her disappointment stayed longer.
Finally we drove around Reykjanes Peninsula.
The picture:
We were at Gunnuhver, a highly active geothermal area of mud pools and steam. The beach has the rock trolls and the wave is very powerful and dangerous. Oh yes, as always: windy too!
Down there, Little dino was walking to reach the rocky beach while I was busy synchronizing my whole organs body to collect the air, or…...to breathe. :)

Dear friends, I wish I had more time for the wonderful world of your photos and sharing my own visual discoveries of the amazing world around us. This was one of the gorgeous sunsets when I was overloaded with work again, and could look at the magic of the evening sky only through my window. But it was so wonderful that I had to grab my camera and try to capture at least a tiny framed area of the magnificent sky seen from my balcony.
I have to sincerely thank all of you who warmly encouraged me to not disappear completely from Flickr and left small friendly reminders here and there. I hope that my current tight multi-project schedule won't last forever, and that I will be able to switch to things and creative projects of my own that allows more time for things that I truly enjoy and love.
The light, beauty, and inspiration from this wonderful scenery I wanted to share with you all.
i am floating away for a bit...
we are escaping the 100F + temps,
you all stay cool , enjoy the rest of summer,
and i will see you in the fall!
happy sliderssunday!

A panoramic fun slide for Sliders Sunday. Three boats? One boat. When I shot this sequence I did not even think about doing a panorama, but when I viewed the images at home I thought I'd give it a try, and PS's Photomerge did a good job for boat "one" (right) and "three" (left). I added the center shot manually, masking out everything but the boat. I then edited the capture in Analog Efex (classical camera, preset 5, type of film: warm, no dirt & scratches, just a little vignetting) to give it an old postcard look, and added the image border in ON1 Photo (type: simple, white square keyline). And I guess I added an HDR filter in ON1, too ;-).
Location: Jagdschloss Glienicke, a hunting lodge in the Berlin borough of Wannsee, as seen from the Park Babelsberg (Potsdam / Brandenburg). The lake you see is the Glienicker Lake, the border between the federal city state of Berlin, and the federal state of Brandenburg runs right through the lake.
HSS everyone ;-), and have a nice Sunday, dear Flickr friends!
Thank you very much for your comments and faves! Lieben Dank für Eure Kommentare und Favs ;-)

Field of dreams. The yellow season in Finland. Summer.
A very relaxing way to spend an afternoon.
