... seen across the other side of the lake from our balcony. Unfortunately we had the pleasure of a storm all night shortly after this one.... blimey, the Italians know how to do thunder & lightning!
I have no idea how to capture lightning, so any tips would be appreciated!
Threecliffs Bay, Gower with dramatic rain clouds after a long dry spell. An amazing view whatever the weather!
Amazing that just a few months ago a wildfire swept through this area. Table Rock while still scorched on the forest floor, has made a wonderful recovery.
An amazing type mountain of Himalaya. This picture is taken in Shyam valley during winter where temperature remains below -10 degree even during the day time. When snow melts during the summer, its surface colour resembles the colour of moon surface. So we can imagine if snowfalls would take place in moon, how it would look like.....
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

[I still have gold paint on my hands and nails... In other news, hiking today! Wheeee!
This image is inspired by the pretty yellow flowers that bloom near my house, as well as my friend Gurbir's Midas image he did awhile back.]

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

This winter has been an odd one with the El Niño weather pattern.
Normally we have quite a bit of snow by now, but here it is. Very little snow.
While hiking the surrounding woods, I've just been trying to find interesting things.
These roots clinging to the side of a rock dry run caught my attention.
The roughly circular historic centre is the main attraction of Amersfoort. The Eem river runs diagonally through the old city, south-east to northwest, from the Monnickendam to the Koppelpoort. It is crossed at right angles by the Langestraat, part of the old highway from Utrecht to Zwolle, and still the main street. The station is on the west side, and the Town Hall is at the western edge of the old city, on the road to the station. Most of the office buildings in the centre are located on or near this road. Apart from the Langestraat, most of the shopping streets are on the west side of the centre also.
This window is what I think of as a window in my "next" New Orleans home! It is a fabulous old house we have looked at, with neat arches inside and a very spare space outside . . . alas. If wishes were horses! Well, you never know! I am a BIG one in believing wishes ONLY come true if you wish them!
Detail from the ceiling of the Nasir ol Molk Mosque (Pink Mosque) in Shiraz, Iran. This shot was taken where several of the arches meet and shows the amazing artisanship of the exquisite tile work.

Going to Manua Kea summit and star gazing was an experience of a lifetime. The photo didn't turn out as I would have liked, but good nonetheless.
Amersfoort is a great city to go shopping in, with everything, (and everyone) catered for, from large international department and clothing stores, to small local arts and crafts establishments. The main shopping center is called the Sint Jorisplein and this houses all of the major shops and stores, but if you go for a wander down the side streets there are many small independent shops.
The Pastinaeck Is a simple, yet stylish restaurant serving upmarket cuisine. Their dishes are mostly relevant to the local area, with a lot of use made of local produce and , as they put it, forgotten vegetables.
It always amazes me how nature gives creatures the ability to climb vertically. Birds, Squirrels, even cats to a lesser extent, seem to be able to get a grip on this such as tree trunks. This is in our yard outside Beaverton, Oregon.
It is not uncommon, walking through the alleys of Accettura, to be attracted by the scents of local cuisine.
The gastronomic tradition of the country of the province of Matera refers to the ancient rural tradition in which the different types of handmade pasta predominate, often seasoned with legumes or excellent sauce, but also grilled meat, cured meats accompanied by tasty cheeses and mushrooms collected in the near Montepiano forest. The appetizing vegetables in oil such as peppers and aubergines are also widespread, as are the "cruschi" peppers, typical of the region, or the rafanata, a type of omelette made mostly of horseradish
