Taken after the sunset on a windy and freezing day in Gaspesie, Quebec, Canada. Temperature was around -25 Celcius, but only god knows the windchill factor. By the way, a project might be on it's way to save this lighthouse by restoring it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed :)
Cap d’Espoir, a promontory at the north-east entrance to Chaleur Bay, Gaspesie, Canada, was noted on English charts and even by the Department of Marine as “Cape Despair,” a phontic sounding of the French name, which is totally opposite of its translation, “Cape of Hope.”
This Canadian lighthouse was proposed as early as 1868 to enable the fishermen, when coming from Miscou Bank in thick weather, to find safe harbour. Parliament voted $1,000 in 1871 for a lighthouse on the cape, but the funds were deemed insufficient, and construction was delayed until a sufficient additional sum could be obtained to build and equip a good sea light.
You can rent 2 houses on this site in winter, spring, fall and summer. It's well worth it. Capdespoir, Quebec, Canada
Actually it was taken from inside of a train on my way back from Nuremberg to Stuttgart ;-) ....

Cape Spear, located on the Avalon Peninsula near St. John's, Newfoundland, is the easternmost point in Canada. Cape Spear is close to Blackhead, an amalgamated area of the City of St. John's. You can rent this house in winter, fall, summer and spring.
Le cap d'Espoir (Cape Spear en anglais) est le point le plus à l’est du Canada (et de l’Amérique du Nord). Il se trouve dans la province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, sur la péninsule d'Avalon à 11 kilomètres du centre-ville de Saint-Jean. Il est plus proche de Paris (située à environ 4 000 km) que de Vancouver. (wiki). Vous pouvez louer cette maison en été, hiver, printemps et automne.

London Eye Reflection in a Panorama view of London
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. Also known as the Millennium Wheel, its official name was originally the British Airways London Eye, then the Merlin Entertainments London Eye, and since January 2011, the EDF Energy London Eye.
The entire structure is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft). It is currently Europe's tallest Ferris wheel,[6] the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3.5 million visitors annually,[7] and has made many appearances in popular culture.
When erected in 1999 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel, until surpassed first by the 160 m (520 ft) Star of Nanchang in 2006 and then the 165 m (541 ft) Singapore Flyer in 2008. Supported by an A-frame on one side only, unlike the taller Nanchang and Singapore wheels, the Eye is described by its operators as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel".[8] It offered the highest public viewing point in the city[citation needed] until it was superseded by the 245-metre (804 ft)[9] observation deck on the 72nd floor of The Shard, which opened to the public on 1 February 2013.[10]
The London Eye adjoins the western end of Jubilee Gardens (previously the site of the former Dome of Discovery), on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge, in the London Borough of Lambeth.

I sat for ages trying to find a fitting title for this Image. I was trying to find a meaningful title for such a magical, amazing and beautiful place. I pondered and the answer was obvious... Ireland

Barr Lake State Park is a Colorado state park established in 1977 in Adams County near Brighton, Colorado. The 2,715-acre (10.99 km2) park has 12 miles (19 km) of trails, including an 8.8-mile (14.2 km) trail that circles Barr Lake. Fishing and boating are allowed in the northern half of the park. The southern half is a wildlife refuge, with several wildlife viewing stations and a nature center. Numerous Bald Eagles spend the winter at Barr Lake and one pair nests every year. The park is popular with birders; over 350 species have been observed. The headquarters of the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory is inside the park on the west side of the lake. (Wikipedia)

Esta talvez seja um dos ângulos mais conhecidos e divulgados da Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas,
mas incrivelmente apesar de ter algumas fotos semelhantes em algumas sequencias,
nunca coloquei uma foto deste ângulo como principal.

Environment 24 hour try out...
Taken at Builders Square - 3 hour sandbox, Academy of Industry (233, 109, 111)
I have finally reached 100 uploads! Something I never thought I will, but it has taken close to 5 years of intermittent activity. Still I feel glad that I stuck with it as I have learnt a lot in terms of places to visit, composition and techniques from a lot of people here for which I am very thankful...
Coming to this one, when I reached the Lands End, as luck would have it, the whole day was bright and sunny and as dusk neared, the rain started and to be honest it was almost incessant and torrential as well. I was told that in the UK, if the rain is pouring down like there is no tomorrow in summer, two things can happen. It would either continue to pour down or it would start clearing...
I always knew I would not visit this place again and as it was raining, there was a small shed nearby this spot where I took shelter. I literally went down on my knees and started praying for the rain to relent because this is such a beautiful place that I did not want to go back empty handed...Now I am not saying all my prayers get answered, but in about half an hour, the clouds started moving easterly as the breeze picked up.
I got about 20 mins to complete my shoot after which the clouds engulfed the area completely and it rained well into the night. I could not do much of experimentation as the clouds were building up all around me. So I unpacked, got a few shots and ran back to the room. Even in this shot, you can see that it is raining in the horizon. One of my favourite shoots as it not only involved a gorgeous location, but getting a shot of this place was an adventure in itself...The first of the rock formation is known as the Enys Dodnan and the one farther than that is the Armed Knight.
Thanks for viewing and have a nice weekend everyone!
I could not decide which I like best. Therefore you see all three Valentine's images ;-)).

Light on the Aramoana mole/breakwater and Taiaroa head from Heyward hill.
Partly because I was detained by a band of fantails, this walk to Heyward point took longer than expected ;-) Tho it did mean we got to see the last of the golden light.
The harbour (Otago) stretches 22km back to Dunedin city.
On average it is 2.3km wide.
The mole itself is 1200 metres long.
It starts at the beginning of the Aramoana Spit.
The channel for ships is quite narrow here and the spit/headland/mole make great places to view vessels arriving or leaving the harbour (small boats to cruise ship highrises).
And for a real aerial view:

A onda de Calor que tem arrasado o Brasil e principalmente a cidade do Rio de Janeiro, faz eu ficar mais convicto que prefiro o Inverno Carioca, que diferente das baixas temperaturas do HemisfĂ©rio Norte, tem dias em geral agradáveis e bonitos com uma temperatura media variando entre 25 a 32Âş, bem diferente das altĂssimas temperaturas que temos registrado nas ultimos semanas, desanimado as pessoas de sair de casa as deixando como Leitões Cevados.
Mas essa condição atmosférica me proporcionou neste fim de semana um espetaculo que foi muito mais bonito ao vivo que nas imagens das fotos, que foi transformar a Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas num perfeito espelho d' agua, refletindo perfeitamente o Morro dos Cabritos como podemos ver na foto principal e na primeira foto da sequencia.
Como não estava ventando as aguas estavam paradas e diferente das outras fotos da sequencia que foram tiradas no mesmo ângulo, mas em dias e horarios diferentes, refletia perfeitamente o Morro dos Cabritos.
* Todas as fotos da sequencia estão abertas, pois já foram publicadas anteriormente, exceto a primeira que tambem foi tirada neste fim de semana.

The winter doesn't want to finish... It is cold and bright outside. The sun makes beautiful effects on the icy trees sometimes.
Thank you for the support, my friends.
THERE'S SERIES IN THE FIRST COMMENT
HAY UNA SERIE EN EL PRIMER COMENTARIO
Esta es una serie de fotos tomadas por los montes de la aldea donde vivo, Peitieiros....por supuesto en el Reino de Gondor :-)
La razĂłn por la cual se llaman Montes del Matalagartos, la desconozco ......por este sendero pasa la ruta de gran recorrido GR-58, conocida como Sendero das Greas.
Los montes son propiedad de la Comunidade de Montes Veciñais en Man Común de Peitieiros, a la que pertenecemos todos los vecinos de la parroquia.
Subimos muy a menudo a pasear, pero casi nunca hago fotos, realmente no me gustan mucho estos montes......son sucios porque están llenos de acacias y de eucaliptus y arden todos los años, por la misma razón.
Pero tienen la belleza intrĂnseca de sus riachuelos que en invierno bajan espectaculares y unas maravillosas vistas sobre el Monte Galiñeiro y la BahĂa de Baiona.
Enfin, ahĂ van unas pinceladas......en el primer comentario.

Algumas pessoas comentaram sobre o ângulo diferente da foto anterior,
ela foi tirada deste local chamado Mirante do Urubu, para chegar nele a pessoa tem que
subir um trilha relativamente fácil e de onde podemos observar toda a Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas.
Na foto esta meu primo que começou a acompanhar nossas saĂdas.

… well, with the possible exception of an early bi-plane spluttering across the façade of Trinity College, but we can't have everything!
A lovely high angle view of the junction of Dame Street with College Green in Dublin. I would encourage you all to have a good old zoom in on this one. We may have been here before, but there's gorgeous detail to be enjoyed...

Loch Tarsan is a reservoir, dammed at both ends, not far from Dunoon. I've started to play around with the settings on my camera a bit (baby steps so please bear with me) I took this on aperture priority at 22. I'm pleased with it in that I think the focus is much sharper throughout the image than any other shots I've taken with this camera, but it's more or less wiped out all the detail in the shadowed area in the foreground. Any advice on how to set up the shot so that doesn't happen would be much appreciated, for example would I have been better doing a slightly longer exposure with a lower iso, or a much longer exposure with a tripod and filter, or something else altogether?
Very dramatic W.D. Hogan shot of soldiers marching across the bridge in Athlone for the handover of Custume Barracks - just one of the many barracks around the country to move from British to Irish control in 1922.

Sognefjord, Norway
Getty Images Collection
Norway's longest and deepest fjord, the Sognefjord is a geologic and panoramic marvel. The terrain soars upward from the watery depths of the North Atlantic, and many waterfalls punctuatue its edges with spray. The area is accessible only between May 18 and September 15.
The average width of the main branch of the Sognefjorden is about 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi). Cliffs surrounding the fjord rise almost sheer from the water to heights of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and more.
A fjord is formed when a glacier cuts a U-shaped valley on the surrounding bedrock. Most fjords are deeper than the adjacent sea; Sognefjord, Norway, reaches as much as 1,300 m (4,265 ft) below sea level.

Murlo, also known as Castello di Murlo, was a bishop's see and castle, first mentioned in 1189 (but most likely older than that, perhaps dating to the beginning of the 11th century). The village was built with heavy fortifications and the remaining walls dates to the 12th and 13th century. After the middle ages Murlo lost most of its importance and it has been unchanged for centuries (and it remains quite tiny). The steeple you can see is the cathedral of San Fortunato - the tiniest cathedral I have ever come across.
