Took this a while back. I have so many shots to go through and post. I am hoping to be on more consistently with the day light becoming shorter as summer fades.

Rannoch Moor cloaked in a consistent covering of snow and looking all the more magnificent for it. Nuff said!
I certainly wasn't expecting to see this today, nor the Nissan Sunny just ahead of it. This banger yard has been a consistent source of photos for years now, and despite the current situation it didn't disappoint when I took the Applause a run out there today.
Lyon Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon) is a Roman Catholic church located on Place Saint-Jean in central Lyon, France. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, and is the seat of the Archbishop of Lyon. Begun in 1180 on the ruins of a 6th-century church, it was completed in 1476. Despite its long construction time, it has a relatively consistent architectural style.[1] In 1998, the building, along with other historic sites in the center of Lyon, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. ... -- WikiPedia
CIMA SAPPADA. IL FIUME PIAVE.
Conosciuto anche come “fiume Sacro alla Patria” per le vicende storiche che lo hanno caratterizzato, il Piave è uno dei patrimoni naturalistici più rilevanti del Veneto e della provincia di Belluno, dove nasce.
La sua sorgente è situata ai piedi del Monte Peralba, a 2037 m di altitudine. Dalle Alpi Carniche, dunque, la Piave continua il suo corso fino al Montello attraversando le Dolomiti e le Prealpi per sfociare infine nel mar Adriatico a nord-est della laguna di Venezia.
La sorgente del Piave è facilmente raggiungibile anche in auto seguendo la strada asfaltata che da Cima Sappada si inoltra in Val Sesis fino al vicino Rifugio Sorgenti del Piave, punto di partenza anche dell’Alta Via delle Dolomiti n.6, che termina a Vittorio Veneto.
Una costruzione in pietra indica esattamente dove nasce il fiume, tra la natura incontaminata della Val Sesis, per iniziare il suo viaggio verso l'Adriatico. Numerosi gli affluenti che lungo il corso alimentano la portata già consistente dell'emissario.
---------------------------
Piccola nota da parte mia: se il fiume Piave nasce sotto il monte Peralba (che segna il confine tra Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia ed Austria) e che Sappada e Cima Sappada sono,da qualche anno in provincia di Udine, posso affermare che il fiume Piave nasce in Friuli Venezia Giulia e che solo dopo qualche chilometro entra nella regione Veneto ????

I attempted to work out the (repeating) patterns or symmetries between the red and grey lines (made up of blocks). But I couldn't see any. Perhaps it's all intentionally and consistently asymmetrical... and thus, in a way, symmetrical.

Two ex-Conrail geeps in push-pull mode plus 26 cars of local traffic from Mansfield and environs make up Norfolk Southern's C03 turn as it moseys through the plant at CP Mohican, just west of Loudonville, OH. The lead unit is just about to pass over the switch to the long abandoned Walhonding Branch, still guarded by a lonely Pennsy-style dwarf, before moving back onto single track. This was the only move on this day at a spot that once featured it's own interlocking tower near the brown relay box.
Things have changed quite a bit on this stretch of former Pennsylvania main since I last photographed this place. The three track signal bridge in the background now guards just one track: the helper pocket to the far right is gone and the second main has been taken out of service. Two "scheduled" through freights remain, but catching one is a lucky proposition at best, making C03 the only consistent option for daytime photos on this once bustling stretch of the PRR.
Guys I am having the worst issues with my blogs server as it is consistently maxing out the server CPU, so they block my website. I am constantly being put in the virtual corner and it sucks. What is the use of a website if you cant have more than 2k visiting it everyday? It just doesn't make sense. Can you share who your server is and how they deal with your blog load? The next option for me is a significant cost increase to like 80 dollars a month.... and that is insane.

SN/NC: Gmelina Philippensis, Lamiaceae Family
The spelling of the name of this taxon has invariably been Gmelina philippensis. However, in A revision of the genus Gmelina (Lamiaceae), Kew Bulletin Vol. 67: 293 - 329; 2012; Rogier de Kok, it is consistently spelled Gmelina philippinensis. Since the original name (as per IPNI) was spelled Gmelina philippensis, we are assuming this to be an error and are retaining the original name. Common names are parrot's beak, wild sage, badhara.
Gmelina philippensis is an evergreen, usually spiny, straggling or climbing shrub or small tree. It can grow up to 7 meters tall. The plant is harvested from the wild for local use as a medicine. It is widely cultivated as an ornamental throughout the tropics. It appears in East Asia - Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines. Also in India and most of Asia.
The juice of the fruit is applied to eczema of the feet. It is also used as a leech repellent. The fruit, pounded with lime, is applied as a poultice to the throat as a remedy for cough. The extract of the roots is used internally as a stimulant, resolvent, and in treating diseases of the joints and nerves. The juice of the roots is used as a purgative and in treating fatigue. An extract of the leaves is used externally as a stimulant, resolvent, and in treating diseases of the joints and nerves.
Gmelina philippensis is een groenblijvende, meestal stekelige, achterblijvende of klimmende struik of kleine boom. Hij kan tot 7 meter hoog worden. De plant wordt uit het wild geoogst voor lokaal gebruik als medicijn. Het wordt op grote schaal gekweekt als sierplant in de tropen. Het komt voor in Oost-Azië - Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodja, Vietnam, Filippijnen. Ook in India en het grootste deel van Azië.Het sap van de vrucht wordt aangebracht op eczeem van de voeten. Het wordt ook gebruikt als bloedzuiger. De vrucht, fijngestampt met limoen, wordt als kompres in de keel aangebracht als middel tegen hoest. Het extract van de wortels wordt intern gebruikt als stimulerend middel, oplossend middel en bij de behandeling van gewrichtsaandoeningen en zenuwen. Het wortelsap wordt gebruikt als zuiverend middel en bij de behandeling van vermoeidheid. Een extract van de bladeren wordt uitwendig gebruikt als stimulerend middel, oplossend middel en bij de behandeling van gewrichtsaandoeningen en zenuwen.
Gamelina é o nome desta trepadeira no Brasil. Originária da Índia, tem o nome científico ligado às Filipinas onde parece ter algo de sua origem, não se sabe com exatitude pois ora se referem a ela como filipense ora como filipinense. Mas o nome original é filipense. Em outros países recebe o nome de bico-de-papagaio pelo formato engraçado das flores que lembram o bico desta ave. Pode chegar a 7m de altura, se enreda ou cresce como arbusto. É tida como excelente planta medicinal para tratar a tosse e também como estimulante para acalmar os nervos e também as juntas. O suco de suas raízes se usa para diminuir a fadiga, cansaço. Sem falar que tem lindas flores… de um formato único que chama a atenção de todos. A combinação marrom-amarelo é sem dúvida muito bonita.
Gmelina, planta originaria de la India y la especie más conocida es la gmelina arborea y no la enredadera gmelina philippensis. Fue introducida en Centro y Suramérica y es usada para la cura de muchas enfermedades como garganta , nervios, estrés. No es muy común y es de gran belleza visual. Su nombre en inglés si puede traducir como pico-de-papagaio.
During this time period the Utah Railway consistently had an empty coal train depart Provo in the morning hours and it was a good bet you would catch it somewhere on Soldier Summit at first light. In this case at the west switch of Kyune on an absolutely beautiful late Fall day. This train would veer off the main at Utah Railway Junction and load their train at Wildcat. Once loaded they would bring their train to Martin where a 6-unit mid-train helper would added for the shove to Soldier Summit. Usually you would find these trains cutting out the help at either Kyune or Colton and on occasion the summit
Wooooweee.....how long has it been? five years?
Yeah, I've been gone for a while. I've posted some random Gunpla pictures every now and again, but nothing consistent and MOCs were nowhere to be seen.
Get used to that.
This MOC was honestly...draining. He's all I've worked on for months now. I knew I wanted to remake Crimson, but I honestly had no idea where to start. He's slowly come together, and right now I'd day I'm pretty happy with how he's turned out. I'm not sure what I'll do next, But It will be nice to finally have this guy finished and out there.
As for the MOC itself, I didn't know what to go for at first, but after a while it became clear to me that I'd be making a far more..tank-ish Crimson. He's no longer super skinny and lanky, trading it in for a far bulkier re-imagining. It's taken a bit of getting used to, but I'm happy with this new take. The gun-arm is literally only there due to a lack of parts, but I think it's cool regardless.
Thanks for viewing!
Enjoy!
On a diagram that has normally seen consistent Class 66 haulage, the 4M30 Freightliner intermodal from Grangemouth to Daventry resulted in the northbound loco, 66505, hitching a ride at the back. The train heads south near Euxton Balshaw Lane double headed by Class 90 locos 90015 and 90004, which worked the train as far as Crewe Basford Hall.
Cemeteries and infrared photography go together almost as well as peanut butter and jelly. You've got regularly static subject matter, an open grounds to look for light, and few folks (living) to get in the picture. Seriously though, in years of playing with infrared film, cemeteries have always been consistently great places too shoot.
Today's photo comes from the Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, OH. It dates a little over 150 years old, and it shows. Spring Grove sits along the industrial outskirts of Cincinnati, and seems un-phased by the economic ups and downs of the region. This is a place worth visiting and revisiting!

Hoy le toca a mi cérvido preferido.
Había remitido la lluvia y el bosque chorreaba por todas partes. Cuando apareció silenciosamente en la linde del bosque este macho de corzo (Capreolus capreolus). Debido a la consistencia del sustrato húmedo me pude acercar silenciosamente hasta colocarme detrás de un acebo. Tenía la esperanza de que él saliera de la espesura para pastar en un claro del bosque. Y ésta vez sucedió así, cuando oyó el disparador de la cámara , me detectó y antes de huir otra vez a la protectora espesura del hayedo, me dedicó un sonoro ladrido, el reclamo propio de esta especie.
Los machos establece un territorio mediante vocalizaciones similares al ladrido de un perro, y un marcaje olfativo a través de sustancias químicas. Esta sustancias son liberadas por diversas glándulas odoríferas, presentes en la frente, junto a los ojos, en el pie posterior y entre las pezuñas delanteras.
Espero que os guste.
This is a shot of a snow-covered street as seen through a screen door. The lights are from cars and from street lamps. I used the screen as a focal point in order to capture the blue and orange colour contrasts that the lights provided along with the texture in the screen. I noticed this effect while focusing on an object on the other side of the screen and I tried this shot as a result. I hope you like the image.
The consistent hum of idling locomotives is overcome by the piecing squeal of dynamic brakes as the UP 7695 guides a heavy MROMI through Gold Run, California. After staging in Gold Run for a couple of days, the spreaders prepare to depart eastward up the mountain. The dark clouds overhead signify the end of the storm break; it’s time to get back to work.

Before it was a National Park one could camp on the beach as we did.
Long Beach is the largest and longest beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is located on Wickaninnish Bay between Tofino (NW) and Ucluelet (SE) and is adjoined by campgrounds and picnic areas. The Tofino-Ucluelet highway parallels the entirety of the beach. The beach's consistent surf, exposed to the open Pacific Ocean, established it as one of the earliest and most popular surfing locations in British Columbia.

The waterfall Skógafoss is situated in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline. After the coastline had receded into the sea (it is now at a distance of about 5 km from Skógar), the cliffs stayed behind, parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometers. Together with some mountains they create a clear border between the Lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland.
The Skógafoss is one of the biggest and most beautiful waterfalls of the country with a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters. Due to the amount of spray, the waterfall consistently produces a single or double rainbow, normally visible on sunny days. According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. A local boy found the chest years later, but was only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared again.
Saturn’s moon Titan is enveloped in a thick atmosphere, but through the infrared eyes of the international Cassini mission, the moon’s myriad surface features are revealed in this exquisite global mosaic.
Observing the surface of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, in visible light is difficult due to the globe-enshrouding haze that envelops the moon. On 14 January 2005, the mystery as to what lay beneath the thick atmosphere was revealed as ESA’s Huygens probe – carried to Titan by Cassini – made the first successful landing on a world in the outer Solar System. During the two-and-a-half hour descent under parachute, features that looked remarkably like shore lines and river systems on Earth appeared from the haze. But rather than water, with surface temperatures of around –180ºC, the fluid involved here is methane, a simple organic compound that also contributes to the moon’s obscuring atmosphere.
Thanks to Cassini, which studied Saturn and its rings and moons for thirteen years, Titan was extensively mapped and analysed. One result is this stunning sequence of images created using data acquired by Cassini’s Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS), whose infrared observations peered through Titan’s atmosphere, complementing the views obtained by Huygens during descent and on the surface. The maps combine data from the multitude of different observations made under a wide variety of illumination and viewing conditions over the course of the mission, stitched together in a seamless mosaic to provide the best representation of Titan’s surface to date.
The colours reflect variations in materials on the moon’s surface. For example, the moon’s equatorial dune fields appear a consistent brown colour, while bluish and purple hues may indicate materials enriched in water ice.
The image was first published in July 2018 – read more here about how the image was created, and enjoy a video featuring further stunning visuals here. The complete Cassini VIMS data archive of Saturn’s satellites is available here.
The Cassini mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and Italy’s ASI space agency. The mission concluded in September 2017.

One of the most consistently exciting and suspenseful movie franchises of all time is Mission Impossible. I love these movies, and this scene of Ethan Hunt infiltrating the Black Vault is one of my favorites.
I played around with jumper plates and tiles to add that pressure plate look to the floor, and added a rat in the ventilation shaft. And of course, I used the official Ethan Hunt minifigure. Hope y’all like this one!

Se denomina descubrimiento de América al acontecimiento histórico del 12 de octubre de 1492, consistente en la llegada a América de una expedición dirigida por Cristóbal Colón por mandato de los Reyes Católicos, Isabel de Castilla y Fernando de Aragón. Colón había partido del Puerto de Palos dos meses y nueve días antes y, tras cruzar el océano Atlántico, llegó a una isla del continente americano, Guanahani, creyendo que había llegado a la India. Este hecho es uno de los momentos fundamentales de la historia universal y representa el encuentro de dos mundos que habían evolucionado independientemente desde el poblamiento de América.1
Varios años después de la llegada de Colón, los europeos fueron percatándose de que el lugar al que habían llegado no estaba conectado por tierra a Europa y el resto de la «tierra conocida», como se esperaba de la India, sino que formaba un continente distinto. Así, a partir de 1507 se le comenzó a llamar América. En los siglos posteriores al descubrimiento del nuevo mundo, España, Portugal y en menor medida Inglaterra, Francia, Holanda, Rusia, Dinamarca y Noruega, Suecia y otras potencias europeas, compitieron por la exploración, conquista y colonización del continente americano, e introdujeron como
esclavos a millones de personas secuestradas en África, lo cual llevó a procesos de disolución y anomia de cultura milenarias, así como al surgimiento de nuevas conformaciones étnicas, culturales y políticas.

One of the things I'm consistently wishing about is a chance. Right now the things I really want a chance to do is meet up my other few Minnesota [0]365days members, a kiss from boyfriend and lastly, a hug from my Da.
I know I should be including a chance for meeting each and every one of you, but, I am being realistic - that wont happen before January 1st, 2008. But really, who knows.
Hey everyone,
As you may have heard one of my inspirations Vivienne Westwood passed away at the beginning of the year.
I wanted to use this opportunity to make a small dedication to her.
The black version has handwritten snippets of Vivienne's blog/diary she maintained for the causes she championed.
The red version has punk iconography consistent with parts of her career.
These are available for this weekend only at 50L and they won't be sold again.
Sizes for Maitreya, Legacy and Reborn.

If you are interested in learning more about the causes Vivienne championed through her work, please visit www.viviennewestwood.com/en/sustainability/activism/
I'd highly recommend the movie "Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist " too if you're interested in learning more about her life.
Salisbury cathedral, Wiltshire, UK
Salisbury Cathedral, formally known as the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral in Salisbury, England. The cathedral is regarded as one of the leading examples of Early English architecture. Its main body was completed in 38 years, from 1220 to 1258. Since 1549, the cathedral has had the tallest church spire in the United Kingdom, at 123 m. The cathedral has the largest cloister and the largest cathedral close in Britain at 32 ha. It contains a clock which is among the oldest working examples in the world, and has the best surviving of the four original copies of Magna Carta. In 2008, the cathedral celebrated the 750th anniversary of its consecration. The cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Salisbury and is the seat of the Bishop of Salisbury.
The foundation stone was laid in 1220. Much of the freestone for the cathedral came from the Teffont Evias Quarry. As a result of the high water table on the new site, the cathedral was built on foundations only 1.2 m deep, and by 1258 the nave, transepts, and choir were complete. The only major sections begun later were the cloisters, added in 1240, the chapter house in 1263, the tower and spire, which dominated the skyline from 1320. Because most of the cathedral was built in only 38 years, it has a single consistent architectural style, Early English Gothic. In total, 70,000 tons of stone, 3,000 tons of timber and 450 tons of lead were used in the construction of the cathedral.
Significant changes to the cathedral were made by the architect James Wyatt in 1790, including the replacement of the original rood screen and demolition of a bell tower which stood about 98 m northwest of the main building. Salisbury is one of only three English cathedrals to lack a ring of bells. However, its medieval clock does strike the time with bells every 15 minutes.

Self portrait
Something.. different for a change? In case you were wondering, my hair is long, but not that long :)
I have two types of dreams that haunt me.
The first is my nightmares. In the fog and darkness I consistently am being chased; fear of jolting wide awake with my heart thumping crazily. Running; footsteps echoing off corridors and dead roads.
The second is the unrequited dreams. The kind which are so real I want to keep my eyes shut for the longest time. Because I'm with the people who care. The people who care.. only in these dreams. In reality, we're dimensions apart. Our eyes meet and maybe sometimes we may exchange the faintest of smiles or a slight look of recognition, but that's it. Nothing else, only the knowledge of each others' shadows in the corners of the lit room. Waking up, and then witnessing them in reality is painful because of the stark juxtaposition between their behaviour. The ghosts that appeared in the dreams, and the too-bright, unsmiling humans in real life.
I see the reality, but I remember the illusions.
It gets too easy to muddle it up at times, having this irrepressible urge to say, 'You weren't like this.' But then I recall that the dreams aren't real. They're my jumbled thoughts and broken memories, all sadistically mixed together.

We seem to live in troubled times. Last week father Sebatian mentioned that we need to rise above the things that easily divide us. As our faithful shepherd, he told us not to lose hope. I am grateful that our pastor, has a very calming presence among us. He consistently tells us to keep our eyes on Jesus, the truth, the way, and the life. It seems simple enough, but so many people that surround us, outside these peaceful walls, go about their own business not needing a shepherd. Each of us have stories of loved ones that listen to other voices fighting for a resting place in their heads. We live in a world that wants us to live on the edge of chaos where hope is banished. Sometimes we may lose hope, but we know how to recover-it is here in our community where we know that peace is found. It is here where we meet Christ, our shepherd.
From our first reading from Jeremiah, we hear about the discord and divisions among the flock of Israel by corrupt and false shepherds who are leading the people astray. We can relate! We live in a culture that bombards us with chatter, especially in our political arena. Who and what do we listen to? What false shepherd has snagged our attention? Jeremiah reminds us that the God of Israel will always gather his people and raise up shepherds to care for them-this passage also applies to us.
In our second reading from Ephesians, Saint Paul (acting in his role of a shepherd) is bringing together two groups…Jewish Christians and non-Jewish Christians. The first group was still hanging on to their Jewish laws and customs and the gentile converts… who did not relate or live with such laws. Saint Paul in this case, is calming these two groups by reminding them that through the blood of Christ, they who were once divided-have become one in Christ. This is also what unifies us, even in our differences, and this unity is most visible when we receive communion-Christ… the shepherd residing in each of us.
What is interesting about our Gospel reading from Mark, we get to meet the crowd of curious people following Jesus and his apostles…they are alluded to as sheep without a shepherd. Jesus and the disciples are tired and looking for a place to rest-the disciples had just returned from the mission that Jesus had sent them on. The only rest they will find from the crowd, unfortunately, is on the journey in the boat. When they arrived at their destination, the hungry crowds were waiting. The question that needs to be asked is what are the crowds waiting for? Jesus is very aware of their needs and desires to teach them.
As we live our ordinary lives, as faithful Christians, we also have an awareness of the many sheep who surround us that are without a shepherd. We know that many of them are listening to and being guided by false shepherds. Their messages are carried heavily on social media, TV and radio. Others quickly mimic their ideas and make them their own. Who are these individuals? They are our neighbors, friends and family. The content of their message is divisive and appealing but can easily be countered when compared to the Gospel message.
Our call and responsibility, as disciples of Christ are to engage with these individuals in the way we live our lives, in our acts of kindness, and sometimes with words.
For example, a few days ago, the doorbell rang at our house. The camera revealed that it was a nicely dressed couple. I guessed that they were Jehovah Witnesses. The temptation was not to answer the door, but my inner voice said be kind, and answer. I greeted them with a peaceful smile. Graciously, I indicated that our home is a Catholic home. I told them politely and truthfully that we do believe that Jesus is God in our myst. They disagreed, and we parted ways…with a gentle smile. No confrontation, and only the truth that separates us.
As disciples of Christ, sometimes we will be cast into a shepherd’s role…whether it be in our immediate families, or within our circles of influence, or here in our local church. Regardless, our most important Shepherd Jesus Christ that we will receive in a moment also invites us to take HIM out into a broken world. His sheep are waiting. Our Psalm 23 tells us not to fear anything…beside restful waters he leads us…he refreshes our souls.
Woke up to this in my back yard. The tides have risen, consistently, since the big storm, Sandy. I believe the fragile underground has been undermined and sunk from all the flooding. This will be the new norm with every storm from here on in is my speculation.
If this keeps up, we will have to take a boat to get to the boat!

A fresh and pleasing modern interior that's consistent in mediums.
Giving the following a classy edgy touch with a combo of polished cement finishes aligning with each of the interior spaces.
Accented highlights pay a tribute throughout the leveling of the home,

with its dark stance of colour material selections. Extracting from nature and bringing in,
I've incorporated a little more of a colour boundary with my clients home creating the window and door trimmings to match with the interior treads.

For years we here in Southern California endured some really severe drought. Little did I know that years of drought can have at least one benefit, and that is the buildup of wildflower seeds. Through the drought years there have always been wildflower blooms, but just not intense ones. I’ve read that during those years the seeds build up in the soil as the plants choose not to germinate, biding their time for better conditions. Often when we get any bout of serious winter rain everyone starts getting excited assuming that even just one storm will produce a super bloom or even a good one, but that is not the case. Consistent rain throughout the winter months, month by month, is what is required to get truly exceptional blooms. Finally after years of drought those conditions line up and all those dormant seeds germinate at once. For parts of SoCal in 2016, 2017, and now 2019 we have experienced just that. And this year’s bloom of poppies in the Walker Canyon area by Lake Elsinore is the biggest superbloom ever there according to a ranger I talked to. The poppies are absolutely spectacular! A few other flowers are sprinkled around here or there, but the state flower of California reigns absolutely supreme. The crowds are pretty huge (fueled by all media, traditional and social), but I wandered for six miles through the land and was able to walk away with plenty of people-free natural landscapes like this one.
De la familia Cunoniaceae también se le conoce como muermo. Es un árbol nativo de gran floración, melífero, que permite que en la zona sur se venda miel de ulmo, producto característico, de gran sabor, delicado aroma y consistencia. Tiene múltiples usos, entre ellos ornamental. Recuerdo que en la zona de Liquiñe se me informaba que cuando el ulmo florecía mucho, habría un invierno muy frío porque nevaría más.
AZIENDA AGRICOLA SANTA CASA DI LORETO
Le prime notizie dei possedimenti terrieri facenti capo alla "Chiesa di Santa Maria di Loreto" risalgono alla seconda metà del 1300. Da allora lasciti, donazioni, fonda-zioni e acquisti ne hanno via via ampliato la consistenza. La massima estensione si ebbe intorno al 1850, periodo in cui la proprietà era di circa 5.000 ettari, situati soprattutto nelle vicinanze del Santuario, ma con tenute periferiche sparse un po' in tutta l'attuale regione Marche, da Urbino a Cingoli - S. Severino ad Ascoli Piceno. Notevole fu l'importanza di questa grande realtà agricola nel determinare le caratteristiche del paesaggio rurale che osserviamo ancora oggi attorno a Loreto.

SANTA CASA DI LORETO AGRICULTURAL COMPANY
The first news of the land holdings belonging to the "Church of Santa Maria di Loreto" dates back to the second half of the 1300s. Since then bequests, donations, foundations and purchases have gradually expanded its consistency. The maximum extension took place around 1850, a period in which the property was about 5,000 hectares, located above all in the vicinity of the Sanctuary, but with peripheral estates scattered throughout the current Marche region, from Urbino to Cingoli - S. Severino in Ascoli Piceno. The importance of this large agricultural reality was remarkable in determining the characteristics of the rural landscape that we still observe today around Loreto.

Long Beach is the longest sandy beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island and the most popular area of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.
Location: It is situated on Wickaninnish Bay, running along the highway that connects the famous coastal towns of Tofino (to the northwest) and Ucluelet (to the southeast).
Surfing & Waves: It is recognized as one of British Columbia's premier surfing locations due to its consistent surf, which is directly exposed to the open Pacific Ocean.
Natural Setting: The beach is a long, pristine stretch of sand bordered by a spectacular temperate rainforest. In the winter, it is a prime spot for storm watching.
Biodiversity: At low tide, rocky "islands" become accessible, and the area is known for its marine wildlife and bird watching opportunities.

The Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft). Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall

Hello everyone! As always I hope you're all well x
A fresh and pleasing modern interior that's consistent in mediums.
Giving the following a classy edgy touch with a combo of polished cement finishes aligning with each of the interior spaces.
Accented highlights pay a tribute throughout the leveling of the home,
addressed by its dark colour pallet, the foundation of accents helps bring a spark of translation to the aroma of the space. LED enhanced contouring strip lighting adjacent from the main to the more exclusive areas of the home, helps bring out the features more,
with its dark stance of colour material selections. Extracting from nature and bringing in,
I've incorporated a little more of a colour boundary with my clients home creating the window and door trimmings to match with the interior treads.
A chic industrial metallic binder cabinetry with it's elevating woven wooden slats both on walls and ceilings.
Matte black ceiling lights which cast down, both working as can light and grazing lights to entertain and showcase with a warm 80 lux lumen range.
Using particular artworks on walls to contrast and use as a way to stimulate the interior atmosphere.
I'm booked out!
