Numa Falls (紐瑪瀑布) is a waterfall of the Vermilion River located in Kootenay National Park, British Columbia, Canada. Numa Falls is a gorgeous waterfall in the midst of the Canadian Rockies. The waterfall itself is a cascade that flows as a part of the Vermilion River, which is in the thick of Kootenay National Park (庫特尼國家公園). Numa Falls is an ever-popular stop for adventurers traveling this region because it is easily found and accessed. The Banff-Windermere Highway 93, a main artery for the region, rolls adjacent to the Kootenay River, which later becomes the Vermilion. A quick hike from the parking lot, the falls, while not extremely large, present a prime opportunity for a few photos as the river flows through a picturesque forested canyon. Those seeking a longer adventure can cross the river near the falls and continue on a hiking trail that navigates into the park.
The Neptune Fountain in Berlin was built in 1891 and was designed by Reinhold Begas. The Roman god Neptune is in the center. The four women around him represent the four main rivers of Prussia at the time the fountain was constructed: the Elbe (with the allegorical figure holding fruits and ears of corn), Rhine (fishnet and grapes), Vistula (wooden blocks, symbols of forestry), and Oder (goats and animal skins). The Vistula is now entirely in Poland, while the Oder forms the border between Germany and Poland.

The sea creature body of the Merlion is a homage to Singapore’s roots as a fishing village named “Temasek” in Javanese, which literally means “sea town”.

The main wall on the sea-facing side of Dubrovnik stretches from Fort Bokar in the west to St. John Fortress in the south, and to the Revelin Fortress on the land-side. These walls are 1.5 to 5 meters (5–16 feet) thick, depending on their location and its strategic importance.[8] The purpose of these walls were to help defend the city from sea-based attacks, particularly from the Republic of Venice, which was often considered a threat to Dubrovnik's safety.

Visiting the Reichstag dome once is not enough for me as I liked to capture images at different time of the day especially night photography is one of my favourites. At the center of the base of the dome is an exhibit of photographs and information about the Reichstag’s history. One of the more interesting moments from the Reichstag’s history is when it was set fire just before WWII to fuel the paranoia which eventually lead to the Nazi control of Germany. I stood at the mid level of its spiral ramp and shot this photo not only to show the centre stem of the structure but also the backlight glowing information panels of its history with visitors beside them.

Way to Topham Suspension Bridge at Lake Abraham to Siffleur Falls. Siffleur Falls lies within the Kootenay Plains Ecological Reserve which is also home to a wide variety of wildlife and plant species.
The waterfall is created from the rapid flow of the Siffleur River, a tributary of the North Saskatchewan River – which is where your hike begins!
The hiking trail begins on the east side of Highway 11 at Siffleur Falls Staging Area Day Use Area. The trail is well-marked and easy to spot with the Topham Suspension Bridge near its start. From the bridge, you’re led toward a boardwalk on a scenic meadow, grassy and forested trails and up a slight incline as you follow the Siffleur River flowing through a deep canyon.
Continue along the trail to get closer to the falls tumbling down the Siffleur gorge after hiking a distance of approximately 4 km and take in the views from the Siffleur Falls viewpoint with guard-railed platforms.
If you are up to it, then continue for another 2.5 km to reach the second waterfalls (and rapids). Another 1.5 km hike will take to the third waterfall.
The hike takes about 3-4 hours and totals about 14 km out and back with an elevation gain of ~80 m.

Foliage is also beautiful. I personally find that the fall color under a sunny day is always lack of the mood "approach end of cycle and waiting a new beginning".... that kind of story telling. The brilliant is short and diminish comes quickly. Beside, a soft light come out from cloudy sky gives punch of its foliage coloring than sunny day.
