This is were the famous adventures of Don Quixote started, the attack on the windmills that he believes to be ferocious giants.
One curiosity is that each windmill has it’s one name, and the same happens with it’s windows.
Shot in Granada, these wonderful and architectonic rich arches are part of the Carmen de los Mártires Palace, just next to Alhambra.
I was taking photos of the windmills of Consuegra, when suddenly these cloud formation formed and start dropping some large drops of scarce rain, although it was very hot, I run to another position to try to capture the forming rainbow which didn't form completely because the sun was mostly gone in the opposing horizon.
La Torre is a castle near Buonconvento and dates back to the thirteenth century and once belonged to powerful families of Siena.
The castle was completely restored in the second half of the 800, taking on its current appearance: it is made up of two buildings that overlook a large courtyard surrounded on two sides by walls surrounded by a moat.
Now they are doing new restorations who knows, maybe it will turn into a luxury resort.
Alhambra is really an amazing place where one can appreciate ant once the beauty of at least three different civilisations and Era's. It's just like an cultural overload...
Santa Maria della Salute or Saint Mary of Health as an amazing story that can be easily associate with it the famous masks of the doctors of the black plague.
I posted two shots of this Eastern Phoebe this evening. I got this portrait shot when she flew in close, and also a shot of her on one of her favorite perches in her habitat.
Eastern Phoebes almost always nest on human built structures. In this case the nest is under a boardwalk that traverses a popular wetland area in St. Albert.
She has given many of us great photo ops.

Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
I have been driving past this barn on an occasional basis literally for decades, but the light was never "right", at least until one day last Spring. The years haven't been that kind to this barn, but (like so many of us) it's still standing!
Captured on the same morning as an earlier photo posted here, this is an HDR rendition of the scene. Lots of indirect, cloud filtered light is mixed with the rays of the low-lying sun.
You can reach this refuge ( 3006 m ) from Obergurgl in the Ötztaler Alps on a hiking trail in 4 hours. This house was built by the section Hamburg of German Alpine Association in the year 1881. The house serves the mountaineers as accomodation for further alpine tours. That ´s exactly what my friend and i did. We made an ice climbing on a high three thousand meter mountain.
D1935 'Roger Hosking MA 1925-2013' emits a trace of exhaust as it powers over the Ouse Valley Viaduct with 1Z84, the 1653 Eastbourne to Chesterfield 'Statesman' excursion.
Also know as Balcombe Viaduct and opened in 1841, this is the highlight of the route built by the London and Brighton Railway.
This ornate, brick-built structure comprises of over 11 million bricks, mostly imported from the Netherlands and shipped up the river Ouse from Newhaven and Lewes to the construction site. The stone balustrades and pavillions were imported from Caen in Northern France.
After a month of poor weather, this was a rare occasion to enjoy the August sunshine, capture a locomotive-hauled train on the famous viaduct and meet up with a few likeminded photographers.
