Bound for Chicago, a Metra train sprints through Wheaton on a wintry Sunday morning. My intention had been to continue with my Thai agricultural series but, with the recent onslaught of arctic air here in the Upper Midwest, I decided to temporarily put the rice on ice :) Stay warm friends! Or, if you live in a warm climate, ice versa :)

In 1819, Sir Thomas Raffles negotiated a treaty whereby Johor allowed the British to locate a trading port on the island. The Sultan of Johor is the sovereign ruler of the Malaysian state of Johor. It all was leading to the establishment of the British colony of Singapore in 1819. The port was strategically located along the main trade route between India and China. Singapore became an independent republic in 1965. Nowadays the country has become one of the world's most prosperous nations, with a highly developed free market economy and strong international trading links. Tourism in Singapore is a major industry and is the 5th most visited city in the world. Along with this, it also has one of the world's lowest crime rates. Public transport is easy when visiting Singapore. This includes the well-known Mass Rapid Transit system. MRT trains are fully automated without driver! Singapore is a green and clean city. It is also full of natural attractions and cultural heritage sites, from botanic gardens and nature parks to temples and museums. Chinatown is a small piece of China in the heart of Singapore. Once an enclave for Singapore’s Chinese immigrant population, the Chinatown of today is much-beloved for its blend of old and new, with historic temples and traditional medicinal halls sitting alongside hip new bars and lifestyle shops. You also can't miss the three monstrous towers of Marina Bay Sands which stand at the Marina Bay waterfront. Apart from the casino, the Marina Bay Sands also has a shopping mall, resorts, museums, theatres, an ice skating rink, and a Skydeck with an infinity pool. Next to the hotel are the Gardens by the Bay. The beautiful Gardens by the Bay light up in the evening with a free light and sound show. But the park consists of much more. There are three gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden. In addition, there are two conservatories with botanical gardens, and the SuperTree Grove, with its well-known OCBC Skywalk. Definitely worth a visit.
Getting around Singapore by MRT (train) is simple. Singapore's public transport system is fast and efficient, and brings you to memorable attractions in no time. Take a refreshing walk in the award-winning Gardens by the Bay of Singapore. Of the 18 Supertrees in Gardens 12 of them can be found here above at Supertree Grove, with the tallest one measuring up to 50 metres tall. The Supertrees come alive with an exhilarating display of lights and sounds at night. See the gardens from a different point of view from the OCBC Skywalk. Beside the Supertree Grove there are beautiful inspiring gardens. Set in the heart of the city, this green space comprises three beautiful waterfront gardens of total 101 hectares.
In 1819 onderhandelde Sir Thomas Raffles over een verdrag waarbij Johor de Britten toestond een handelshaven op het eiland te vestigen. De Sultan van Johor is de soevereine heerser van de Maleisische staat Johor. Het leidde allemaal tot de oprichting van de Britse kolonie Singapore in 1819. De haven was strategisch gelegen langs de belangrijkste handelsroute tussen India en China. Singapore werd in 1965 een onafhankelijke republiek. Tegenwoordig is het land één van de meest welvarende landen ter wereld geworden, met een hoog ontwikkelde vrije markteconomie en sterke internationale handelsbanden. Toerisme in Singapore is een belangrijke industrie en is de 5e meest bezochte stad ter wereld. Daarnaast heeft het ook één van 's werelds laagste misdaadcijfers. Openbaar vervoer is eenvoudig tijdens een bezoek aan Singapore. MRT-treinen zijn volledig geautomatiseerd zonder machinist ! Singapore is een groene en schone stad. Het staat ook vol met natuurlijke attracties en culturele erfgoedsites, van botanische tuinen en natuurparken tot tempels en musea. Ook kun je de drie monsterlijke torens van Marina Bay Sands die aan de waterkant van Marina Bay staan niet missen. Naast het casino heeft het Marina Bay Sands ook een winkelcentrum, resorts, musea, theaters, een ijsbaan en een Skydeck met een overloopzwembad met prachtig uitzicht op de stad. Naast het hotel liggen de Gardens by the Bay. De prachtige tuinen by the Bay lichten 's avonds op door een gratis licht en geluidsshow. Maar het park bestaat dus uit veel meer. Zo zijn er drie tuinen: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden. Daarnaast zijn er twee conservatoria met botanische tuinen, en de SuperTree Grove natuurlijk, met zijn bekende OCBC Skywalk. Zeker een bezoekje waard.

Te ne sei andato un freddo giorno d'inverno, proprio come oggi!! la tua amata Isola adottiva, la nostra Sardegna, sente sempre di più la tua mancanza ma le tue canzoni, le tue poesie resteranno sempre con noi: adesso canti da lassù, vorrei tanto essere una stella per poterti stare più vicina...
Santa Margherita di Belice (Santa Margarita in siciliano) è un comune italiano di 6 322 abitanti della provincia di Agrigento, in Sicilia.
da: it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Margherita_di_Belice
Fondata nel 1572 dal Barone Antonio Corbera, antenato dello scrittore Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, sorge nella zona sud-occidentale della Sicilia, tra i fiumi Belìce, Senore e Carboj, alla confluenza delle province di Palermo, Trapani e Agrigento. Confina, con i comuni di Salaparuta (TP), Contessa Entellina (PA), Sambuca di Sicilia, Menfi e Montevago (AG).
Nel suo territorio si trovano testimonianze di insediamenti sicani, greci, romani e arabi. Nel 1610 il Re Filippo III autorizzò il barone Girolamo Corbera, nipote del fondatore, a dare al paese il nome di Santa Margherita. I Principi Filangeri, succeduti ai baroni Corbera, diedero impulso al paese con la costruzione di diversi edifici e facendone aumentare la popolazione. Tra i Filangeri di Santa Margherita di Belìce si annoverano tre vicerè di Sicilia: Alessandro I, Alessandro II e Nicolò I che nel 1812 ospitò nel Palazzo di Santa Margherita, per circa tre mesi, il Re Ferdinando, la regina Maria Carolina (la Donnafugata) e il principe Leopoldo di Borbone.

A sinistra:
Palazzo Filangeri di Cutò, meglio conosciuto come Palazzo Gattopardo. Quasi completamente distrutto durante il terremoto (si salvò solamente la facciata), è stato in seguito parzialmente ricostruito ed oggi è la sede del Municipio, del Museo del Gattopardo, dell'Istituzione Parco Letterario Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa e del Teatro Sant'Alessandro.
Museo del Gattopardo. Vi si trovano le riproduzioni dell'originale manoscritto e dattiloscritto del romanzo, donate da Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi. Sono esposte anche altre teche contenenti le lettere, gli appunti, la documentazione e le foto d'epoca dello scrittore; ci sono postazioni multimediali che fanno rivivere i saggi critici e i film dedicati all'opera. Si possono anche vedere e ascoltare le interviste a Claudia Cardinale e Alain Delon, indimenticabili interpreti del film di Luchino Visconti, così come lo stesso manoscritto, la sua stesura, le correzioni apportate. Pagina dopo pagina, bozze e correzioni, fino alla stesura finale. Vi è anche la rappresentazione, attraverso un piccolo museo delle cere, di una scena del “Gattopardo” viscontiano.
A destra:
Museo della Memoria Si tratta di uno spazio realizzato utilizzando i ruderi dell'ex Chiesa Madre restaurati, un tempo luogo di ritrovo e punto di incontro e di riferimento delle attività religiose e sociali del paese e poi rovinosamente distrutta dalle scosse sismiche. Al suo interno centinaia di fotografie guidano il visitatore alla scoperta della Valle del Belìce e dei suoi nove paesi (Gibellina, Montevago, Salaparuta, Poggioreale, Santa Margherita di Belìce, Santa Ninfa, Sambuca di Sicilia e Vita) prima di quella sconvolgente notte del 15 gennaio 1968. Decine e decine di scatti fotografici che immortalano volti di uomini, donne e bambini, di case distrutte, di paesi stravolti e in particolare di macerie. E poi tutte le fasi dei primi soccorsi, gli aiuti, le baracche, fino ad arrivare alla ricostruzione urbanistica, ma anche alla rinascita umana di tutta quella gente che si ritrovò protagonista di quel tragico evento.

Smoke and haze filled the air around Mt. Hood, OR as fires burned in Western Canada. A view from above timberline on the southern flank of Mt. Hood - late August 2018.
45 miles away, Mt Jefferson can be seen rising above the haze.

The Wildalpjoch is a 1720 meter high mountain in the Bavarian Alps. It is surrounded by the peaks of Wendelstein, Kesselwand, Soin and Hochsalwand. In the south is the Sudelfeld. It is a rather more frequented by locals and therefore less frequented than its neighbor Wendelstein. But you have almost the same view. In winter, the summit is a popular destination for ski touring enthusiasts.
I took the chance and used the last warm and sunny weekend for a wonderful hike and photography tour. You can see the Brünnstein mountain in the foreground and the Tyropl alps in the background. The warm falling wind the so called Föhn has blown the clouds away so that you have a beautiful distant view.
Aussicht vom Wildalpjoch-Gipfel - Bayern
Das Wildalpjoch ist ein 1720 Meter hoher Berg in den Bayerischen Alpen. Er ist umgeben von den Gipfeln des Wendelsteins, der Kesselwand, des Soin und der Hochsalwand. Im Süden liegt das Sudelfeld. Es ist ein eher von Einheimischen begangener Gipfel und somit weniger frequentiert als sein Nachbar Wendelstein. Man hat jedoch fast die gleiche Aussicht. Im Winter ist der Gipfel ein beliebtes Ziel bei Skitourengehern.
Ich habe das wohl letzte warme sonnige Wochenende für eine wunderschöne Wanderung und Fototour genutzt. Und es hat sich gelohnt, auch das schwere Tele mitzuschleppen :-)
Im Vordergrund könnt ihr den Brünnstein sehen und im Hintergrund die Tiroler Alpen.
Der warme Föhn hat die Wolken in Richtung Norden weggefegt, sodass man eine tolle Fernsicht hatte.

Thamudic and Nabataean inscriptions, depicting camel caravans, hunting warriors and various animals, are common throughout the Wadi Rum area. The Alameleh inscriptions, near the Seven Pillars of Wisdom and on the edge of the Diseh district, are some of the most comprehensive and best preserved.
The desert trips with the jeeps are well organised and I would recomend the 4 hour jeep trip, any excursion will be organised for you by Mr khaled.
My journey was long and dark, but after a precarious trek, I found myself on a faraway shore where a new Boneyard lay wait. Cautiously, I approached these so called “twilight beasts” and found them somewhat different from those that I have encountered from past travels. Covered in sharp bark like scales and writhing about with long tails, they clawed at the moon while slithering along the sandy coast. Wearily, I collected my nerves. Gently, I reached out with my mind, only to encounter a piercing howl that sent my head spinning. These creatures are suffering and I am the first person to hear their pain. And so, I decided to stay and listen so that one day I could tell their story.
It's time to get back to my stories of the boneyards in "Boneyard Journeys." With a long exposure of almost two and a half minutes, a rising tide and fogging lens, I wasn't sure this shot was going to work. This is an introduction to a short series at the Boneyard Beach on Big Talbot Island, Florida. Wishing everyone a wonderful day ahead. Thanks for the favs and kind comments, they are much appreciated!

Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner passing through the foot of Gemini. After what seemed like weeks of clouds, some morning clearing finally occurred.
Discovered in 1900, comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner is a periodic comet with an orbital period of 6.6 years and an estimated diameter of 2km. With a minimum orbit intersection distance of 0.035 AU, it's classified as a potentially hazardous object.
Two open clusters (M35 and NGC 2158) and a super nova remnant (IC 443) are also visible in the field of view. 21P approx. mag 7.1.

As we descend from Sgor Mor, the clouds lift from the mountain tops, clearly revealing The Devils Peak, Cairn Toul, Sgor an Lochain Uaine and Braeriach. The deep valley of Glen Dee leading to the Lairig Ghru marches into the distance. To give a sense of scale, a walkers bothy can just be made out at the foot of Devil's Peak deep in the Glen.
At a height of 2667 feet (813 meters), Sgor Mor doesn't quite qualify as a Munro as it's 333 feet (111 meters) short, but it is a Corbett and offers some great views of the Cairngorms.
The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle. The meteors are called the Perseids because the point from which they appear to hail (called the radiant) lies in the constellation Perseus.
The stream of debris is called the Perseid cloud and stretches along the orbit of the comet Swift–Tuttle. The cloud consists of particles ejected by the comet as it travels on its 133-year orbit. Most of the particles have been part of the cloud for around a thousand years. However, there is also a relatively young filament of dust in the stream that was pulled off the comet in 1865, which can give an early mini-peak the day before the maximum shower. The dimensions of the cloud in the vicinity of the Earth are estimated to be approximately 0.1 astronomical units (AU) across and 0.8 AU along the latter’s orbit, spread out by annual interactions with the Earth’s gravity.
Some Catholics refer to the Perseids as the "tears of Saint Lawrence", suspended in the sky but returning to earth once a year on August 10, the canonical date of that saint's martyrdom in 258 AD. The saint is said to have been burned alive on a gridiron, and this tradition is almost certainly the origin of the Mediterranean folk legend that the shooting stars are the sparks of that fire and that during the night of August 9–10 its cooled embers appear in the ground under plants, and which are known as the "coal of Saint Lawrence". The transition in favor of the Catholic saint and his feast day on August 10 and away from pagan gods and their festivals, known as Christianization, was facilitated by the phonetic assonance of the Latin name Laurentius with Larentia.
7DWF, Monday: Anything Goes
Surprisingly empty upper platforms at Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) on a beautiful summer evening. Believe it or not, Berlin Hauptbahnhof is the largest train station in Europe, with approximately 300 000 travellers per day, making it the 4th most frequented train station in Germany (after Hamburg, Munich, and Frankfurt/Main). Or the least frequented, at least on a Saturday evening at 19:39 o' clock. Well, the next train to Zurich from platform 13 wasn't due until 21:04. At least there was a lonely dove, an employee of the Deutsche Bahn AG (in the red hat), shuffling along the platform, and a guy who organized his luggage. And us: Sabine.R, marionrosengarten, --Conrad-N-- and H. Roebke :-)
Bemerkenswerte Leere am ehemaligen Lehrter Bahnhof (seit 2006 Berlin Hauptbahnhof) an einem sonnigen Samstagabend um 19:39 Uhr. Der nächste Zug nach Zürich ging von Gleis 13 aber auch erst um 21:04 Uhr. Immerhin schlurfte ein Mitarbeiter der Deutschen Bahn auf Gleis 13 entlang, ein einsamer Passagier ordnete sein Gepäck, und die nicht minder einsame Taube hatte somit den Bahnsteig fast für sich. Aber wir waren ja auch noch da: Sabine.R, marionrosengarten, --Conrad-N-- and H. Roebke :-)
Vega de Brañagallones, 1.215 m. de altitud.
Con el refugio y algunas de las cabañas en la lejanía.
Al fondo se ven la Sierra de la Canalina y la Sierra de Brañapinueli.
El corazón del Parque Natural de Reres.

Punta Giglio è un promontorio calcareo che assieme a capo Caccia racchiude la baia di porto Conte. Impropriamente viene chiamata "punta", poiché in realtà ha le caratteristiche di "capo" per la sua altezza sul livello del mare. Deve il suo nome per la presenza di numerose piante di giglio. È compreso nel territorio della Area naturale marina protetta Capo Caccia - Isola Piana Dalla sommità è possibile ammirare il panorama circostante. Per la strategica posizione dominante tra Porto Conte e Alghero era un importante base antiaerea dell'esercito durante l'ultima guerra, di cui esistono ancora le strutture con caserma, piattaforme di posizionamento cannoni antiaerei, casematte e deposito esplosivi, costruiti con pietre di calcare del posto e mimetizzati alla vista dal mare.

Discover Switzerland Part III
It was not an easy climb to this little jewel of the Swiss Alps, but it compensated us in the form of this magnificent view that we were allowed to enjoy there. What could be better than experiencing and enjoying the uniqueness of creation together on a sunny summer's morning? The serenity and peaceful atmosphere in this place filled our hearts with new strength and joy. This summer day was an unforgettable experience for us in the beauty of our beloved homeland.
I would like to express my gratitude to all my friends here for the nice and sweet words for my little work of love. It means having so many friends with whom I can share my joy in photography around the world. What a pleasure, what a gift, what a blessing. I wish you all a lot of joy and happiness out there in the world and beautiful nature that gives us so much.
Only when you love every thing will the mystery of God reveal itself in the things.
It is sweet to be absorbed in the great silence and to become one with nature.
Every being in nature, in man, in love must wait, be patient, until his time comes to bloom.
Please enjoy with me my beautiful homeland – SWITZERLAND. I love it.
