Allan Gardens Conservatory is a major landmark and tourist attraction in downtown Toronto. Its historic, cast-iron and glass domed "Palm House" was built in 1910 and is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. A botanical gem in the heart of the city, Allan Gardens has a permanent collection of exotic plants and beautiful seasonal flower shows.
As the sun begins to set on the West Coast, the last strong rays touch on the inselbergs and taller Joshua trees of the high Mojave Desert in Joshua Tree National Park.
Captured near the parking lot for the Barker Dam Nature Trail, I like the way the light is caught only by the tallest inselberg, the spines of the Joshua Trees, and the few clouds in the sky.

Five days ago I posted Colorado River Country, which was taken at Gore Valley Overlook, looking north.
This photo was taken from the same overlook, but looking at the opposite side, south, into the gorgeous Gore Valley and Colorado River.
Yup, it's definitely my type of roadside attraction!!!
Many thanks for your kind visit and support; I wish you a wonderful day, please stay safe and healthy!

The Colored Canyon is one of the most visited attractions of the Sinai Peninsula / Egypt.
This subject is pretty close to the ground. Because of the large amount of dust that has been blown up, it can hardly be seen and becomes visible by pouring some water over it.
Der Colored Canyon ist eine der meistbesuchten Attraktionen der Sinai-Halbinsel/Ägypten.
Dieses Motiv befindet sich ziemlich nah am Boden. Wegen des vielen aufgewirbelten Staubs ist es kaum zu erkennen und wird dadurch sichtbar, indem man etwas Wasser darüber gießt.
When it started raining on our park hike he drove down the main road with our windows opened to see what we could find. The trails are so wet that most of the deer are right on the roadside.

Piazzale degli Uffizi
Experiment with Dave Hill effect + blueish preset + some secret treatments :-)
Some places you visit don’t have a lot of spectacular monuments or towering churches to show for their existence but if you look real close you sometimes discover that the area itself is the attraction as it is in Guardiagrele. The town is famed throughout Abruzzo for being metal masters, plying their trade forming wrought iron railings, crafting culinary copper and fine gold jewelry design. A walk through the streets will attest to its wrought iron work it is everywhere you look, a great gift from here is a copper oil pot, one has adorned my stovetop since our visit here.

"Paris Streets 400, Louboutin Attraction." Dedicated to Angela, a most stylish and fantastic wife, mother, and daughter-in-law.
On this day last year we were exploring the back roads of the Palouse in eastern Washington. I think this barn with the collapsed roof has been photographed many times, but, what the hell, here is mine to add to the collection :)
The fortifications and walls of Dubrovnik are most interesting tourist attraction of this city. They are about 1940 m long, up to 25 m high and 1.5 to 6 m thick. The walls, built from the 9th to the 17th century, additionally strengthen five bastions and towers.
The first walls were probably built at the end of 8th century. The rapid development of city, and especially the appearance of aggressive neighbors, prompted the citizens of Ragusa to build more powerful fortifications. In 867, the city was attacked by Arab troops. Later, many times the walls defended the city against hostile invasions. They were also rebuilt and modernized many times.
Outside the walls are two fortresses (Lovrijenac and Revelin), which were the first line of defense of city.

Fortyfikacje i mury Dubrownika stanowią najciekawszą atrakcję turystyczną tego miasta. Mają około 1940 m długości, wysokość do 25 m i grubość w granicach 1,5 - 6 m. Mury, budowane od IX do XVII wieku, wzmacnia dodatkowo pięć bastionów oraz wieże.
Pierwsze mury zbudowano prawdopodobnie pod koniec VIII wieku. Szybki rozwój miasta, a zwłaszcza pojawienie się agresywnych sąsiadów skłoniło obywateli Ragusy do wzniesienia potężniejszych umocnień. W 867 roku miasto zostało zaatakowane przez wojska arabskie. Później jeszcze wielokrotnie mury broniły miasto przed wrogimi najazdami. Były również wielokrotnie przebudowywane i modernizowane.
Po za murami są zlokalizowane dwie fortece (Lovrijenac i Revelin), które były pierwszą linią obrony miasta.
Each day gets a bit scarier on the planet. I was thinking that they would contain this right off the hop and stop all travel right at the start of this. I think it would have made a big difference. But no. So many died a 100 years ago before massive travel.
Be safe. Keep on Truckin'
