Depending on whether you measure the depth of the canyon from the highest mountain peak directly at the canyon to the Río Colca or from the edge of the canyon,

the Colca Canyon is between 3,400 m and 1,200 m deep.

Shadow and Light depend strongly on the season in the Swiss Alps. The lower the position of the sun is, the more dramatically the shadows dictate live in the mountains

Licht und Schatten sind in den Bergen stark mit der Jahreszeit verbunden. Je tiefer der Sonnenstand, desto dramatischer übernehmen die Schatten die Welt.

Merton as monk had discerned that efficacy in his vocation to write would depend on exercising an ability to report the singular wisdom he was continually learning in the school of his own life’s more intimate relationships with God, with human cultures, and within the opportunities offered through the persons, places, and identity-transforming events of his personal history.

His desire to write and speak truth beyond his received opinions that were inculcated in him by his education, social class, and singular religious commitments, in short, his will to find his own voice, was ascetically heroic. His intuition that a grace was given to write confessing the contours of his personal struggle to be a fully integrated and truth-speaking human being was romantic. His goal to be a witness to freedom by word and example was idealized.

Depending on the time of day, the glacial meltwater often is best described as "Gatorade Blue" in this region. Here, where the water is shallow the yellowy rocks underneath turn the look an emerald color.

I guess it may depend in which direction you are driving over it but it always seems to go on forever.

Pleased with the subtle light and delicate colours that an unusual morning visit lent to this prospect

It is amazing how feathers change colours depending on the angle of the light, hummingbirds are no exception. I did not notice until editing that this hummingbird has an abnormal eye, (the one facing the camera}. I believe it is blindin this eye and yes...that is it's tongue.

Handsome, medium-size hummingbird of humid tropical lowlands. Favors forest edge, second growth, gardens in some areas. Feeds low to high and often comes to feeders. Can be difficult to distinguish from Buff-bellied Hummingbird, which favors drier habitats. Rufous-tailed has a dingier, grayish belly and more extensive rusty on the tail, which lacks the distinct fork often shown by Buff-bellied’s tail.

Depending on the post I sometimes get many people asking "how do I do x or y" when they see one of my images. So I decided to post this, and give some step by steps below. This actually is a rather straightforward slide, lately I have been spending much more time with layers, which I did not do here. Anyway, this does include one step that I do use a lot and people ask about a lot, which is using the "Blur" options in Photoshop. Yes, I add blur to my photos, not all the time, but I do quite a bit. Sometimes the use of the blur is for the purpose below, it is not so much to get "blur" but to smooth out colors. Anyway, some secrets revealed! :-))))

Oh and by the way, I would click to view this in the light box if I were you, for this one it really is worth it! :-))

HSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A paz e a felicidade que você procura esta no silencio que você não faz!!!

Esta dentro de você a solução! Depende da forma que você encara a vida! Se enxergar o lado bom e não o lado negativo na vida e nem nas pessoas, encontrará a paz e a felicidade e a riqueza que tanto procura!!! Se almeja riqueza não pode continuar com uma mente pobre e nem pensamentos doentios!!! Uma mente que não enterra o passado e vive plantando sementes de dor e desespero não poderá germinar na luz da felicidade incondicional!!!

Portanto meu amigo mude hoje e agora não perca tempo! Neste minuto de silencio reflita e mude sua vida!!! Não procure desculpas nos outros e nem na falta de tempo e nem na ausência de capacidade!!! Eu não tenho tempo e refletir agora para você!!!

Esta e a lei da vida!!! Tudo depende da forma que você encara a vida!!! O Ontem foi...

Neste amanhecer surge a sua salvação!!! Mude para que o mundo possa sorrir para você!!!

Um beijo de luz no teu coração!!!!!

Upon that short time, eternity depends!

(Jeremy Taylor)

"You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning--though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered." Psalm 90:5-6

"The length of our days is seventy years--or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away." Psalm 90:10

God has given to man a short time here on earth--and yet upon that short time, eternity depends!

"So teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12

American Bird Association rates birds from 1-6 depending on how hard they are to find. 1 being the most common to a 6 birds that are thought to be extinct on extinct. This Bananaquit is a code 4 to give you an idea how tough it is to see it in the United States (Florida may be the only State you can find this bird). Bird is attracted to exotic garden with abundant flowers where it drinks their sweet nectar.

Bananaquit description:

Small and short-tailed with short, decurved black bill. Gray-black above with white throat and yellow belly with bold white stripe over eyes. Continuing rarity found at Richardson Historic Park and Nature Preserve in Broward County, Florida.

P.S. I have seen this species in Brazil and the Bahamas before but not in the USA.

Depending on the weather, there are an endless variety of ways to effectively showcase Venice's gondolas at the "Riva degli Schiavoni", with the island of San Giorgio Maggiore across the lagoon. Here's another variation on that theme.

Le château d’Esquelbecq a la forme d’un grand quadrilatère flanqué de huit tourelles. Un liseré de pierres blanches le ceinture à mi-hauteur et aurait pour signification la haute puissance des seigneurs du lieu. L’édifice, auquel on accède par deux ponts, est entouré de douves.

On suppose qu’un premier château en bois a existé dès le 9ème siècle afin de protéger des invasions nordiques mais rien ne prouve qu’il existait à l’endroit actuel. La dernière restauration générale du château date de 1606, date que l’on pouvait lire sur le donjon avant son effondrement. Cette restauration permit de rajouter de nombreuses fenêtres dans les murs dont l’épaisseur dépasse parfois 1 mètre en certains endroits de leur base.

Tiuccia est une station balnéaire de Corse-du-Sud, dépendant de la commune de Casaglione et située à une vingtaine de kilomètres d'Ajaccio, sur la route de Calvi (par la côte), au fond du golfe de Sagone.

Elle est bâtie au pied du rocher de Capraghja (Carpraja), où demeurent quelques vestiges des fondations du château des comtes de Cinarca, et d'où l'on domine la totalité du golfe, jusqu'à Cargèse.

Le site est bordé au nord par le Monte Lazzu (100 m). Dans son prolongement en direction de la mer se trouvent également les ruines de deux anciennes fortifications génoises, la tour du Capigliolu (xvie siècle) et un fortin (xviie siècle/xviiie siècle).

Or Pumpkin Load depending on where you came from!

Back in the old days a Punkin Load was a single log load that was big enough to bring the trailer up to weight. This was back in the days of the big timber, back when old growth was still plentiful.

Definitely not something you would ever see today, everything coming out of the woods today is match sticks compared to the days of old!

Just an old photo that I cleaned up as best as I could considering the age!

Posting this very late, or early depending on how you think of it, 1:30 am. Should be sleeping but decided to see if the Milky Way could be seen from my location tonight. Near Murdo South Dakota at a decommissioned State Scale. Besides a little traffic very dark and a clear sky, tons of stars visible. Even with the naked eye you can barely see the Milky Way. (when you know where to look) I was in bed about to sleep when I decided to check the SkyView app and see if the Milky Way might be visible. Not the greatest Milky Way shot, shutter a little too long so the stars are not round. Only able to take a couple of shots, the intermittent traffic messed up a couple of tries, and then the wind began to blow and my tripod was not staying steady enough. Anyway, pretty happy with how it came out, imperfect as it is.

The foreground, farm and lake was taken in Minnesota off I-94 on the 4th of this month. So if you're looking at my camera settings that's why they don't make sense. They were for the day time shot of the farm. Used Luminar 4 to add my Milky Way, and Light Room to put some Milky Way reflections on the lake.

I've been visiting a few of you each day, will keep doing that. So far it looks like you've all been staying safe, at least those of you I've had a chance to visit. Hope that's the case for all of you.

On my way to SoCal, then home later next week for a few days.

Raudisandur - Red Sands Beach is one of the most amazing places of the Westfjords in Iceland.

It stretches for 10 km and changes magnificent hues of red, orange, yellow and brown depending on the light conditions and weather.

Raudisandur (Раудасандур) - пляж Красных песков - одно из самых удивительных мест Западных фьордов в Исландии.

Он простирается на 10 км и меняет живописные оттенки побережья от красного, оранжевого до желтого и коричневого в зависимости от условий освещения и погоды.

Fragmentation and wholeness seem to be a strong theme in these works.

just feeling, responding and interacting with the forms taking shape through the familiarity of process.

Depending on how you look at this image, it may resonate differently with each of you. It's a focus stacked, blend to get the details and light correct. Could this be done in one shot, yes, the scene could be shot in one shot but it would be impossible to get the details and exposure all in one shot... So, I put the camera inside the old cabin, focus stacked the window frame and then took another shot for the mountain and other cabin. Then later that night I shot the milky way as it was setting over the mountain and blended it into the focus stacked scene to create the final image... That being said, this is an image/scene I plan to re-shoot. After talking with a friend about how to shoot this and get the window frame squared up, it's given me some ideas and I'd like to try it again so the window frame isn't askew...

I hope you all have a great weekend.

On the estuary of the Loire (south shore), a traditional fishery.

Sur l'estuaire de la Loire (rive sud), une pêcherie traditionnelle.

Saint-Brevin

France

Les pêcheries sur pilotis sont des esplanades en bois, souvent agrémentées d'une cabane, permettant la pêche au carrelet. Elles sont accessibles par un ponton ou bien par une échelle. Une perche amarrée à un câble soutient deux cerceaux où se fixe le carrelet, filet qui nécessite un treuil pour être relevé. La plupart des pêcheurs appâtent en vers de terre le fond de leurs mailles, lesté par quelques plombs.

En France, les pêcheries appartiennent à des personnes privées ou à des associations, mais occupent le domaine public maritime. À ce titre, elles font l'objet d'une autorisation d'occupation temporaire, précaire et révocable. S'agissant du domaine public naturel, les dispositions législatives en vigueur (article 2124 du Code général de la propriété des personnes publiques) imposent que les activités pratiquées tiennent compte de la vocation des espaces concernés, incluant notamment la pêche maritime, mais excluant l'hébergement (location de nuitées comme chambre d'hôte par exemple). La pêche au carrelet est essentiellement une activité non professionnelle, un loisir qui se pratique au printemps et à l'automne. Les prises (mulets, athérines appelées éperlans, anguilles ou bars) restent dépendantes des secteurs, des saisons, voire des jours.

Souvent équipées de façon rudimentaire, très régulièrement dépourvues d'eau courante et d'électricité, les pêcheries peuvent être louées pour une partie de pêche le temps d'une marée, sans hébergement, sous réserve du respect de prescriptions techniques relatives aux établissements accueillant du public et dans des conditions qui ne soient pas assimilables à une exploitation commerciale.

Le bassin d'Arcachon accueille des cabanes tchanquées, accessibles par bateau ou à marée basse. Plus au nord, les pêcheries occupent l'estuaire de la Gironde et de la Charente, le littoral de la Charente-Maritime, de la Vendée et de la Loire-Atlantique, ainsi que l'estuaire de la Loire. Une quarantaine de pêcheries sont construites le long de la rive sud de cet estuaire, de Saint-Brevin-les-Pins à Corsept. Elles sont accessibles par des passerelles horizontales dont les plus longues font jusqu'à 120 mètres. Essentiellement constituées de perches en bois de châtaignier, les ossatures sont enfoncées dans la vase à plus d'un mètre par endroits. Des ancrages au sol sont nécessaires pour supporter la cabane, souvent constitués de bidons enfoncés dans la vase à marée basse et évidés avant d'être remplis de gravats ou de béton.

Depending which source you read, the Campanone tower rises between 52 to 56 meters high, by no means an impossible mission to climb, and once at the top, the view is stunning! Here, on the side facing north-west, the view of San Vigilio hill which by itself is a splendid vantage point on the old city.

March. Depending on when the second surgery is scheduled. Going to be an interesting few months . left eye first then the right . Not going to be able to do anything after surgery. Have so many can not do's for the next 2 weeks. I am probably going to be walking the walls. They said I can drive after 24 hrs but there are restrictions .

Depending on the location and the hand of the winemaker, a Pinot Grigio taste profile can be light and tasty or full-bodied and full-bodied. Classically, however, it comes as a crisp, fresh-fruity, and dry representative. Mostly rich in extracts, aromatic, and rather low in acid.

Depending on how you look at this you may see a cube or a triangle as the prevailing shape. It is actually a cube and the triangle is just an illusion.. For the Sliders Sunday group.
