The Nahuel Huapi National Park shelters countless natural nooks that show the beauty of the mountain range landscape. Los Alerces Cascade is one of these spots and everything from the tour to the very waterfall is enjoyed by us.
Before crossing the bridge over the Manso River heading for Mount Tronador (3,554 m / 11,660 ft), the tour takes the road on the left, which follows a picturesque circuit up to los Alerces Cascade.
With the eyes fixed on the mount and its snow-capped summit, the rubble road crosses thick cypress and coihue forests, typical of the area, and causes amazement with beautiful panoramic sights appearing behind every bend and slope.
From the top, the blueish green of Lake Las Moscas and its solitary beaches surrounded by green mountains may be observed.
I could lie amongst these woolly creatures with their serene calm; their peaceful existence broken only by the musical bleats of their harmonic flock communication.

I had a great trip to Vancouver this spring break, and I'm so happy I brought my camera! There were countless gorgeous sunsets and it is such a beautiful city!
Another of countless beach pictures, but different every time. Local people often ride bicycles and motorbikes on the beach. There is a strip that is quite hard so that the bikes do not sink into the sand. If you know a bit about how this strip runs, you can get around quite well on two-wheelers.

When countless dark and cold winter days with no snow make one long for more light I still want to return to the amazing trip through Scotland a month ago.
This was one of scenic islands in a lake, the first of few places where our bus stopped for 15 minutes during the long day trip. Treat for the eyes and heart.
I still continue to dream about those gorgeous mountain sceneries, and almost always in such a dream I have my camera with me. But when I try to take photos with it, the camera button often gets stuck and does not want to work... So it is why I can't post any photos from my dreams here. :)
Countless times we heard the "tjip - tjrrrrrrrrrrrr!!" call of this gorgeous Kingfisher, running around hoping for a spotting... until finally, he sat still in plain view for a little photo shoot. :)
Boxtel is a small town, but its big church shows that it was an important place once. Just outside the town you'll find a park in which lies this castle, Kasteel Stapelen. The entire complex was given a new look in early neo-Gothic style in 1857-1858, to fit the then popular ideas about what a medieval castle should look like. Towers were heightened, the facade of the chapel was renewed and countless battlements were added to places where there never had been any. Since 1915 the castle has been used as a monastery. In the Middle Ages a miracle occured here which is still celebrated each year with a big procession.
One of the countless bays off the Norwegian Coast along the Lofoten archipelago. The joys of summers in the North! :)
One of countless beautiful rock formations throughout Arches National Park. This formation has obviously shed some weight over the years. I wouldn't want to be in the path for that event!
countless rivulets and tiny waterfalls coming down the side of Hestur mountain in Hestfjorden, Westfjords of Iceland, where finally sun has started the great melting job.
The amazing microcosmos created by countless little waterfalls coming down from Hestur mountain in Hestfjordur, Iceland's Westfjords, guaranteeing perfect conditions for a rich flora of mosses and lichens to thrive.
Happy Textural Tuesday!
one of the countless amazing landscape scenario alond our journey around Iceland, here on our fourth day going from Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon where we had camped overnight to Djupivogur in the Eastfjords of Iceland. One of the most amazing aspects of Iceland appeared to me the incredible range of colours of the rocks.
Floating from below
Countless souls rise up
I stretch out my arms
Wanting to escape
Sweet surrender's song
Ensures each ones faith
They pass through my grasp
Leaving me to fate
Hell’s wraith grips me hard
Pulling me below
Heaven slips beyond
God has turned away

closeup of one of the countless mountain streams, rapids and waterfalls along our road around Iceland. This detail was shot in Fossardalur, the Valley of Waterfalls near Djupivogur, in East Iceland.
countless waterfalls form the beauty of Iceland's landscapes likes jewels interwoven into rough fabric. This is just one of the many we encountered in one single place near Djupivogur at Iceland's Eastern shores.
Iceland is famous for its countless waterfalls but I feel that too many people are just rushing to the large and famous ones. If one travels without haste and off the beaten tracks, there are endless scenarios of natural beauty and less known waterfalls to be enjoyed and admired and as a bonus one does not have to queue nor suffer the antics of some visitors ... ;)

With countless numbers lost to Avian Flu from the colonies on Inner Farne it was good to see adult Arctic Tern returning to their young with food in the sand dunes above Beadnell Bay, Northumberland where they seem to have fared well.
They set off for their long journy south between late July and early October.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
This is just one of the countless scenes that can be witnessed at Arches National Park in Utah, USA. While at Canyonlands National Park, myself, and a fellow photographer and friend, met a couple from Switzerland that were vacationing with their two rambunctious boys. We got to talking about Arches where we had all been the day before. The young woman's eyes got big. She said she had seen pictures of the place all of her life but nothing prepared her for such beauty. I was in complete agreement. No one photo can give you the intensity and vastness of the park's beauty. The arches are amazing, little doubt, but for me it was an incredible place at every turn. Thanks for stopping in!
I have said it countless times, in photos and words, but it is a huge truth in my life: dogs and horses add immeasurable joy to all of my worlds. Just having them quietly nearby adds a peaceful, calm, happy contentment to my life. And every ballerina needs a bulldog to scamper about with, right? I think so. A random passerby here on this bridge at Haz sent me a message asking if I needed my canine friend to protect me. I laughed and said no. I just need him because he makes me feel happy. :)
Besides densely forested mountain slopes, Slovenia has more natural wonders to offer, such as the valleys between these mountains.
There are countless wild and crystal clear rivers that have carved narrow gorges into the rock over the years. One of them is the Vintgar Gorge not far from Lake Bled.
Here you will find a dreamlike natural scenery (in the season probably next to a lot of visitors) of which I would have liked to have taken many more photos. However, my visit was accompanied by constant, pouring rain, which didn't really make it easier to take pictures. The water came from all sides, the sky, the trees and the rocks. And I didn't even count the river Radovna.
Despite this, or perhaps because of it, I felt very connected to nature here.
Neben dicht bewaldeten Berghängen hat Slowenien noch mehr Wunder der Natur im Angebot, wie zum Beispiel die Täler zwischen diesen Bergen.
Hier gibt es unzählige wilde und glasklare Flüsse, die über die Jahre enge Schluchten in den Fels geschnitten haben. Eine davon ist die Vintgar Klamm unweit vom Bleder See.
Hier findet man eine traumhafte Naturkulisse (in der Saisson wahrscheinlich neben sehr vielen Besuchern) von der ich gern viel mehr Fotos gemacht hätte. Allerdings wurde mein Besuch von dauerhaftem, strömenden Regen begleitet, was das Fotografieren nicht wirklich erleichtert hat. Das Wasser kam von allen Seiten, dem Himmel, den Bäumen und den Felsen. Und da hab ich den Fluß Radovna noch garnicht mitgezählt.
Trotzdem, oder gerade deswegen, hab ich mich hier sehr mit der Natur verbunden gefühlt.

Unzählige Sandkörner gibt es am Strand, unzählige Sterne am Himmel und unzählige Gefühle sind in uns, die viel zu oft verleugnet werden.
Countless grains of sand there are on the beach , countless stars in the sky and countless emotions are in us, who are all too often denied.
found countless little ladybugs in the field yesterday. they were hanging tight against the wind.

The threat of a zombie apocalypse has been looming over our heads for YEARS, fueled by countless movies, tv shows, books, songs. They would have us believe that all these shambling, rotting, walking corpses are after our brains. Brains for dinner... brains for lunch... brains for breakfast...brains for brunch. That may be the case, but it's only the result of what is really driving these countless undead. Like the rest of us, they simply want to enjoy the holiday season, from the decorating, to the huge production dinners with other dearly departed loved ones. Of course, they can't go forever without eating... they need sustenance like we all do, which brings us right back around to the brains.

This little Douglas Fir tree is about 40-50 years old. It has survived countless weather events by growing on top of a floating log in a lake on Vancouver Island. It is apparently the most photographed tree in Canada. We had not planned on visiting this iconic scene simply because so many people from around the world have tried to photograph it. Conditions have to be just right in order to separate the tree from background clutter and unless you have hip waders, there is no good vantage point to shoot this tree. We had no hip waders and very little time to wait for the right conditions. However, on our quick morning visit to see the tree on our way to our next destination, I was able to frame up this portrait with a long lens just as a bit of light hit the tree and there was a momentary stillness in the light breeze rippling the water. The background is the water with refections. It was magical to see this little survivor. Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday.

A drab, brown bird, I have countless times heard this bird bellowing among reeds, caught glimpses of it and, once, saw a blurred, distant fly-by out of the corner of my eye. It has been my nemesis for many years, teasing me with its elusiveness, a master of camouflage.
Perhaps other bird photogs have hundreds of shots and have no idea what I am talking about, but, except for one other day, this bird refused to show itself to me and my camera.
My husband and I had done the rounds of Colusa NWR with only a Great Blue Heron and a bunch of Red-winged Black Birds to show for it. Heading out, I heard the tell-tale deep-chested boom of a bittern and was shocked to see it semi-exposed in the last rays of a setting sun.
We were thrilled to get perching shots, obscuring reeds and all. Holding both my focus and my breath, I watched its behavior. After several minutes of inflating its lungs, it fluffed its feathers and took flight! Proves once again you never know when that One Shot will happen, but if you keep trying, just maybe...
one of the countless little rivers originating in Vatnajokull National Park and flowing towards the Atlantic coast of South Iceland.
Something is going wrong when the camera with its impressive algorithms and countless AF options forces itself into the centre and, hence, between photographer and object. Ideally, I would think, we photographers ought to use the camera as if it was not there. Just focussing on the composition and the 'essence' of the object and having the settings run in the background. I am not advocating 'point and shoot', I am saying that a camera should be built in such a way that we can 'forget' about it and focus on taking the picture. I think my older cameras do that. My newer ones are much more sophisticated and what they are increasingly trying to do is take over decisions I could make myself. What is my reaction? Number one, I prefer using my older cameras. And two, when using my sophisticated ones, I turn off a lot of their computer-powered procedures. I wonder what you think.
Back to one of the countless waterfalls in Iceland, the mighty Skogafoss. As I mentioned in the caption of Where Rainbows End, the crowds of tourists forced me to zoom into the scene and shoot more intimate compositions. And as luck would have it, at the exact moment I pressed the shutter to take a picture of this abstract-looking composition of falling water, a bird flew through the scene and I happened to catch it right in the third of the frame. So unlike the image At World's End which I took in the Westfjords where we really waited until a bird was in the frame, this image was pure luck, and since I couldn’t get any of the classic compositions with the river in the foreground because of all the people, I was really happy when I noticed the bird on the back display of my camera. I hope you like it too!

I must have walked through countless muddy rows and thick patches of sunflowers till I came to this one in the sun's fleeting light. It was standing taller than any of the others and I mean to tell you that there were so many others. I felt like it was pointing me back to where I came from.
I find when photographing sunflowers that it's important to change lenses often. I also find it critical to walk around them with your eyes behind the viewfinder just as much as you compose them before doing the same.
Wishing you a restful and relaxing weekend. May it find you well and thankful.

Saddleworth Moor is such a wild and beautiful place. The Moors Murders and countless newspaper articles have for years cast a dark shadow over it, portraying it as a bleak and barren nightmare. However, it is littered with history and folklore and has some of the most wonderful views.
This view is from near the summit of Alderman's Hill looking across Greenfield to Alphin Pike. Folklore tells the tale of two giants, Alphin and Alder who lived on their respective hills. Both sought the affections of Rimmon, a water nymph who lived in the waters of Chew Beck below. Rimmon chose Alphin, which infuriated Alder and the two giants fought, hurling rocks at each other until Alphin was struck and killed. In her grief, Rimmon cast herself from rocks into the valley below and joined Alphin in death.
There is a strong likelihood that this tale is the mythologisation of a Dark Ages battle that could well have taken place here, between the advancing Angles of Northumbria and the Celts of Southern Rheged. Anyone familiar with the tale of the battle of Win Hill, will remember that in c.626AD, the Northumbians defeated the Mercians by rolling boulders down the hillside. The Northumbians had taken Elmet (modern day West Yorkshire) in the early part of the 7th C and advanced on Rheged, which itself fell sometime before 730AD. There are a number of pointers in the landscape to this area being an ancient boarder and even the place names leave clues. Alder being of German origin, Al being a Celtic word for a rock or a hill.
On any get away to Sydney, we could visit countless places, today we shall get away to another time and era, for a visit to the Imperial Arcade. Here we find a heritage-listed Victorian-style retail arcade in the heart of the Sydney central business district. It is the only remaining arcade of its kind in Sydney.
Being three storeys high, the arcade has the traditional-styled protruding galleries, cedar staircases, tiled floors, cast iron balusters and timber framed shop fronts, under a prominent, tinted glass roof to reduce glare.
I love to stroll through the arcade, soak up the atmosphere and relish the beauty. People watching over a cup of coffee is always fun, and an opportunity to take a photo or two.
