VlkolÃnec, situated in the centre of Slovakia, is a remarkably intact settlement of 45 buildings with the traditional features of a central European village. It is the region’s most complete group of these kinds of traditional log houses, often found in mountainous areas. VlkolÃnec is small community part of the town of Ružomberok. It was historically referred to as a street of Ružomberok, yet is situated about 7 kilometres from the town itself, in the mountains of the northern part of central Slovakia. It is a remarkably well preserved rural medieval settlement featuring wooden architecture typical of hillside and mountain areas. Its layout, defined in part by the hilly terrain of the mountains of Veľká Fatra, features log houses situated on narrow lots with stables, barns and smaller outbuildings in the rear. A canalized stream flows through the centre of the village. The surrounding landscape is formed by narrow strips of fields and pastures with haylofts.

VlkolÃnec – in het midden van Slowakije – is een opmerkelijk intact gebleven nederzetting met gebouwen kenmerkend voor een centraal Europees dorp. De huizen worden gebouwd op stenen funderingen, de muren bedekt met klei en vervolgens wit of blauw geschilderd. Er zijn 47 van dit soort traditionele woningen in VlkolÃnec en daarmee de meest volledige groep van dit soort traditionele Slowaakse houten huizen, die vaak voorkomen in bergachtige gebieden. Naast de traditionele woningen staan er in het plaatsje een winkel en school uit het einde van de 19e eeuw en de kerk van de Heilige Maagd Maria uit 1875, met een belfort gebouwd in 1770. VlkolÃnec staat sinds 1993 op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO omdat het dorp, onaangetast is door de moderne tijd.
This is one portion of one tree of many at the Rockport Rookery. The Great blue herons are all facing the setting sun except the one that just returned with some nest builind materials. There was lots of mating rituals, gift, and nest material presentation going on in the colony.
Another shot of the basalt cliff in Yakima, Washington. Look at the roots hanging down from the green plants. And all those species of lichen...nature is amazing!

Smallscape. I'm kind of into things that catch my eye because of their anonymity at the moment. The world has suddenly shrank, so I guess my perspective should too? That or I'm just pratting about shooting weeds...

We were over West End way today (didn't see ya Christy!) and on the way back, passed this Queenslander style home which accentuates its heritage with bananas, Lady Fingers I imagine growing right in the small front yard in Vulture Street, South Brisbane. We left in rather a hurry as a rather ominous thunderstorm came towards us but it seems to have dissipated. It's still about 35C though and unhappy high humidity too.
In traditional Brisbane, Queensland and even in New South Wales probably north of Sydney when homes sat on large allotments and had big backyards, it was not unusual to have a small plantation of banana trees growing in the backyard. We had them, all Lady Fingers because there were restrictions on growing the more well known Cavendish in those days. I am a Cav man myself, never liked the slightly metallic taste of the Lady Fingers. The backyard would also possibly be home to other fruit trees, many of them now long forgotten, a vegetable garden and perhaps a chook run. We had all of these and what a childhood of discovery it was, even the deadly snakes!
Having discovered a large, densely populated area of Canada Anemone much closer to home, I've made several visits while they are at peak condition. A chaos of blossoms abound.
Meant as a documentary shot to establish density and habitat.

I don't know the name of this small community but there weren't too many of them. More often we saw the occasional home or 2 or 3 homes together in this vast expanse.
California Sea lions form large groups, called a colony when out of the water. These colonies are quite noisy and it seem animals are always scuffling about.
Arrivo ai ruderi del Sepolcro dei Monaci. Sullo sfondo si erge, sul monte Pirchiriano, l'Abbazia di San Michele. Via Crucis alla Sacra di San Michele. Sant'Ambrogio di Torino, Val di Susa. Piemonte, Italia.
Il Sepolcro dei Monaci della Sacra di San Michele consta dei resti di un antico tempietto. È così chiamato perché ritenuto una cappella cimiteriale, ma appare più realistica oggi l’ipotesi che vede in questa cappella, a forma ottagonale, la riproduzione del Santo Sepolcro, quasi un anticipo ai pellegrini del Sepolcro di Gerusalemme. La costruzione, prettamente cristiana, risale al secolo X. Questa chiesa, ancora intatta nel 1621 e dedicata a Santo Stefano, cominciò a rovinare nel 1661, fino a diventare molto presto un rudere.
