I see this every morning when going to work. Everyone is so robotic and corporate looking (well.. almost everyone to the latter).

Slovenia has only one island but its uniqueness makes it more attractive than many an archipelago. Sheltered by picturesque mountains, the island reigns in the middle of an Alpine lake. Its charm has made it a symbol for centuries of a town to which guests from all over the world love to return. This town, which has already existed for a thousand years, is Bled. Come and see the overwhelming beauty of Bled. Romantic walks or a carriage ride around the lake, or a trip with a traditional pletna boat to the idyllic church on Bled island. A visit to the mighty castle on top of the vertical cliff by the lake, the nearby ski slopes, mountain hiking trails, children's events with Zaki the swan, cycling, hunting and fishing - these are just some of the things you can do in Bled. The oldest castle in Slovenia, first mentioned in a 1011 donation deed as castellum Veldes. Perched atop a steep cliff rising 130 metres above the glacial Lake Bled is a symbol of Bled and Slovenia – Bled Castle. The image of the castle forming a romantic backdrop to the two girls and the church on it has earned the resort worldwide recognition through the centuries. Castle terraces offer spectacular views of the lake and the island. There is only one island in Slovenia, but it is more beautiful and appealing than most island chains anywhere. It is situated in an Alpine lake, surrounded by picturesque mountains. For centuries it has been an enchanting symbol of the town that modern tourists are just beginning to discover and to which they often return.
Bled castle attracts visitors not only with it sage and picturesques architecture but also for the unforgettable view of the lake and the wider area of Gorenjska and the Julian Alps. This is why many couples upon their visit to Bled decide to get married at Bled Castle. A wedding day at the castle is lively and different, a perfect round-up to the romantic day. We were entertained with a highly ceremonial demonstration of champagne sabering, the art of opening a bottle of champagne without twisting the cork. In the few minutes it took for the ceremony and champagne tasting. I can certainly understand why Bled Castle is so popular for engage-ment and wedding parties. According to written sources, it is the oldest Slovenian castle and is currently one of the most visited tourist attractions in Slovenia. In summer months, the castle atmosphere is enlivened by the visit of a count and an archery tournament, and on warm summer nights, visitors are drawn by concerts of classical music under the starry skies.
Op een hoge rots torent het Bled kasteel, één van de oudste kastelen uit 1004 van Slovenië, over het meer uit. Dit kasteel uit 1004 is een van de meest bezocht toeristenattracties van Slovenië. Het oudste deel van het kasteel is de romaanse toren. De gebouwen van het kasteel liggen rond twee kasteelhoven, met elkaar verbonden door een trap. Behalve het museum ook een traditionele drukkerij, wijnkelder, waar gasten hun eigen wijnfles kunnen vullen, en een kruidengalerij. Bled kasteel trekt bezoekers niet alleen met de sage en pittoreske architectuur, maar ook voor het onvergetelijke uitzicht op het meer en het bredere gebied van Gorenjska en de Julian-Alpen. Ook is er de mogelijkheid om te trouwen in het kasteel. Hier kan in de open lucht worden getrouwd op het prachtige kasteel hoog boven het beroemde meer. Fantastisch! Hoe het er bij een willekeurige trouwerij aan toegaat. In de zomer maanden is de kasteel sfeer verlevendigd door het bezoek van een aantal deelnemers aan het boogschieten toernooi, en op warme zomer avonden, worden bezoekers aangetrokken door concerten van klassieke muziek onder de sterren hemel. Rond het alpenmeer kun je uitstekend wandelen, maar je kunt er ook een bootje huren, vissen, of in de omgeving paardrijden. Op een eilandje in het midden van het meer ligt een kerk. Bled ligt op 50 km. van Ljubljana.

Goats are one of the oldest domesticated animals, having been used for centuries for their milk, meat, hair and skin. In the twentieth century they also gained in popularity as pets. It is believed that the native peoples living in mountains of Iran were the first to domesticate these animals.
The domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is a subspecies of goat domesticated from the wild goat of southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the Bovidae family and is closely related to the sheep as both are in the goat-antelope subfamily Caprinae. There are over 300 distinct breeds of goat.
This picture was taken in Wildpark Frankenhof in Reken, Münsterland, Germany.
De geit (Capra aegagrus hircus)is al vele millennia gedomesticeerd en speelt al lang een belangrijke rol binnen de veeteelt. Behalve de gedomesticeerde geit, is er ook de wilde geit, waar de gedomesticeerde geit een nakomeling van is. Als stamvorm van de huisgeit werd de bezoargeit (Capra aegagrus) vermoedelijk reeds rond 7000 v.Chr. in Voor-Azië gedomesticeerd. Wereldwijd zouden er ongeveer 450 miljoen geiten zijn, verdeeld over een driehonderdtal verschillende rassen. In Nederland zijn circa 250.000 geiten.
Als huisdier is de geit door de mens in alle werelddelen ingevoerd. In hun oorspronkelijke, droge leefgebieden werden ze hoofdzakelijk gehouden voor het vlees en de huiden. Later ontdekte men in Europa dat de geit in staat is om grote hoeveelheden melk te produceren. Voor mensen die allergisch zijn voor koeienmelk is geitenmelk meestal een goede vervanger. De melk bevat ongeveer hetzelfde vet- en eiwitgehalte als koeienmelk. Geitenmelk is lichter verteerbaar. Een geit geeft gemiddeld drie liter melk per dag. Slechts een beperkt aantal rassen wordt voor de wol gehouden, de bekendste is de Angorageit.
In de twintigste eeuw zijn geiten ook populair geworden als huisdier. Geiten zijn sociale dieren en ideaal om kinderen te leren met dieren om te gaan. Ze zijn lief, aaibaar en erg nieuwsgierig. Ze ontbreken daarom nooit op kinderboerderijen.

I don't think that I can get this frame everyday ; that day at that time , cloud and sun created this light and I was just lucky to pass by. Driver of my car was very sure that he was driving around a nut case ; I requested him to stop by a dusty bend because beneath my feet it was heaven.
Himachal is a land blessed by God ! Here people are comparatively well off than most of India ( specially eastern india ). Apple & other fruit orchard ; possibility of year round cultivation of Potato , Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli .... proximity to cash rich market like Chandigar & Delhi ... is giving people healthy income. If only they could resisted the onslaught of Hydro Electric business !!
Believe it or not I hadn’t set out to make a photograph from this famous location. Along with my wife and children I had just been for a wander up to the Quiraing*, (Scots Gaelic: Cuith-raing) and the path passes very close to this spot. We were on our way back to the car after a morning and early afternoon of bright sunshine and squally showers, but by now it looked like heavier rain was setting in. I thought that it might just be dull enough overhead for it to be worth trying something, and this image is the result. I was hoping that the sky at the top left of the frame might darken a bit, but it didn't happen. Within 5 minutes the rain was torrential and it was time to pack up.
*You’ll often see this view referred to as ‘The Quiraing’, but this is in fact looking away from that feature towards the summits of Cleat and Bioda Buidhe, part of the Trotternish Ridge (Druim Thròndairnais).

I was reading a Photography book, last night and there was a quote; "If taking an epic shot, why not make it double epic with a reflection." I can't agree more.
A perfect reflection of Maligne Lake Boathouse in Jasper National Park and a collection of images in the different seasons, through my trips to the Canadian Rockies.
This is an enchanted place, no to be missed if you're in the area.
Happy weekend everyone!
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments and visits.

LADAKH : Day 6
Scenic view with a small mountain stream that flows into the lake of Tsomoriri,
Korzok Village ~ Southeast Ladakh
Around 240 kms to the south east of Leh lies a region that is still less frequented by tourists.
Tucked away in a remote area of this region at an altitude of 4,595m (15,075 ft) is one of nature’s wonders - the lake of Tso Moriri, the centrepiece of the Rupshu valley which cradles the lake in mountains 6 km (20,000 ft) high. The lake is fed by many streams and it has no shortage of water which flows abundantly from Himalayan snowmelt through the summer.
Thanks for your kind visit and support.
All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are welcome.

This is a railway crossing on the way to Meherabad in Maharashtra.
A thin straight line of the railway track runs through the vast open landscape. The narrow road runs alongside. It is a place which has a distinct character. It is the topography of the land or how the road loops to the crossing, it is hard to say. Or perhaps it has to do with the whole ambience of the nearby ashrama of Meher Baba which lends it an air of silent expectation.
There is no shuffling madness here that Ian Anderson wrote about nor are there any losers running headlong to their death but there is a Locomotive Breath..ing down alright. Organized religion has its pace and time and I hope it is on the decline.
LIsten to Jethro Tull singing that song
In the shuffling madness of the locomotive breath
runs the alltime loser headlong to his death.
Oh
he feels the piston scraping
steam breaking on his brow.
Old Charlie stole the handle
and the train
it won't stop going no way to slow down. Oh
Oh.
He sees his children jumping off at stations one by one.
His woman and his best friend in bed and having fun.
Oh
he's crawling down the corridor on his hands and his knees.
Old Charlie stole the handle
and the train
it won't stop going no way to slow down. Oh
Oh.
He hears the silence howling
catches angels as they fall
And the alltime winner has got him by the balls.
Oh
he picks up Gidean's Bible; open at page one.
I thank God he stole the handle
and the train
it won't stop going no way to slow down.
No way to slow down.
No way to slow down.
No way to slow down.
I have three flickr friends who are train spotters and lovers of the railways. This is also for them

The stunning clarity you get at night from very high altitude is an astronomers dream. Here you can clearly see the constellation Orion rising over Lake Tioga at an altitude of 6,636 feet above sea level. At this altitude, the air is thin and crisp and makes for some stunning night photography. We were assisted by a nearly full moon that elegantly illuminated the peaks and forest of the High Sierra. A walk down to the lake can be breathtaking, literally as the air is much thinner. Lake Tioga lies just outside the Eastern entrance of Yosemite National Park. It's distance from the valley makes it somewhat less traveled and even more of a thrill for tourist who make the extra effort. It's truly one of the gems of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range.
You can clearly see the star Betelgeuse, bright yellow star on the left which is a Red Supergiant star and one of the most luminous stars in the sky. It outshines the second brightest star in the constellation Rigel, the star on the opposite corner that makes up the constellation. The clouds were so thin, wispy and moving at a good clip that the long exposure allowed the constellations to show though. I found this effect to be quite exciting as it allows you to see both the constellations and the brightly moonlit clouds at the same time.
I made the late night trip with fell Flickr photographers Matt Granz and Miguel (aka Amigo). As we drove past it was clear we would have to stop. We spent over an hour photographing the lake before moving on to Mono Lake and more stellar shots from the High Desert. The trip was mainly to photograph some of the Fall Color that dots the Eastern Sierra and we would not be disappointed. So stay tuned as there will be many more equally great shots to come.
Regards,
Darv

Just an old reworked shot.
I'm staring to get the itch to take some new photos, sure do miss you all, have a great week ahead!
It's rainy now and it seems that rain is washing out our Indian summer... oh well we shouldn't be complaining as we had these fantastic sunny days lately :-)
So my fave spot of Toronto's Mixed Forest is loving this mist at early blue hour settings...
More autumnal impressions (rain or shine) will come soon - Stay tuned! / Bientot a l'ecran! :-)

You are most welcome to look through the set or you may like to see it as a slide show.

When summer gathers up her robes of glory,
And, like a dream, glides away.
