Now designated as critically endangered, the Amur leopard is a leopard subspecies native to southeastern Russia and northern China. It is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. In 2007, only 19–26 wild leopards were estimated to survive in southeastern Russia and northeastern China due mainly to poaching.
It is hoped that this 2 year old beauty will help towards conservation of what is a very special big cat, though at present there are no female Amur Leopards available for him.
This is the main staircase in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) which is part of the White House complex in Washington, D.C.
It was built between 1871 and 1888, on the site of the original 1800 War/State/Navy Building and the White House stables, in the French Second Empire style. As its first name suggests, it was initially built to house three departments. While the building's elaborate style received substantial criticism at first, it has since been designated as a National Historic Landmark. It was for years the world's largest office building, with 566 rooms and about 10 acres (40,000 m2) of floor space. Most White House staff have their offices in the EEOB.–from Wikipedia
Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, this Alaskan passage is 50 miles long and contains 16 different glacier flows. It includes some of the most majestic snowcapped mountains and pristine landscape in the world.

Cages à homards Designated as Québec's Lobster Capital in 1994, Grande-Entrée accounts for more than half of the Magdalen Islands' total annual lobster catch. Its colonization dates back to the 1870's, and since then its fishing port has been a vital part of Island life. The port harbors more than 100 brightly colored fishing boats.
Walked to Boudreau Island from Grand-Entrée, took a bit effect to walk on the stone covered beaches, very normal beaches, surprisingly one of the most beautiful views in the Magdalen Islands shown before me... The cliffs, colorful cove (in the back view of this photo), it was like in another world… no people, a bit strong wind, listening to the waves hitting to the rocks... After this walking, found the best reviewed restaurant and enjoyed the lobsters... 😉
Also designated as Slender Skimmer.
Slender skimmer or green marsh hawk is a medium sized dragonfly, found from eastern Europe to Japan. The greenish yellow with black spotted dragonfly is very much similar to green skimmer and preys on bees, smaller butterflies, damselfly and dragonflies.
The Den of Alyth is designated a Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI) by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) due to the upland oak woodland within the gorge. The Alyth Burn is within the River Tay Special Area for Conservation, a designation which seeks to give protection to various river species, most notable the Atlantic salmon.
Over 10,000 years ago torrents of meltwater from the Cairngorm ice mass, loaded with rock debris, scoured the soft sandstone creating the deep gorge which we see today. On the steep cliffs which in places tower over the river you can spot the exposed reddish rock known as Old Red Sandstone. In the 1800s some of this stone was quarried and used to build the town of Alyth. Today, it is a much smaller stream which winds its way around boulders and rock obstacles, creating places to paddle and observe the wildlife.

Lochloosa Lake is a designated Fish Management Area and located 5 miles south of Hawthorne near the town of Lochloosa. Most of the shoreline is bordered by old-growth cypress trees, and knotgrass and spatterdock are the predominant aquatic plants in the lake. On the Island there’s a fishing pier that runs out onto the lake and there are many trails that criss cross the Island around an airboat marsh. Lochloosa Lake offers good bluegill, redear sunfish and warmouth fishing during April through September; however, some bream can be caught year-round. This is a fresh water anglers paradise, hell I felt like fishing when I was there. Black crappie fishing is best from January through April in the spatterdock with grass shrimp and minnows. During summer and fall, crappie anglers should drift open water with grass shrimp and minnows. On the Island there are many birds, alligators, dear, and wild boar. Incredible place for sure and I will be going back to soon again. Its not easy at all to find by way of GPS or google maps, it took me to attempts to get on the island. We put the Rubicon Jeep through some tough mud trails and knock on wood we didn’t get stuck, but I got bit by something that caused my hand to swell like a baseball glove. My jeep was covered in mud and I had to pressure clean it twice to get the mud and sand off. We were caught in a nasty storm while out there and didn’t get as many pictures and we wanted to, but there will be a next time.

St Andrew's Church in Winterborne Tomson, Dorset, England, was built in the 12th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 1 June 1972, and was vested in the Trust on 26 March 1974.
The small flint and stone Norman Anglican Church of St Andrew has an apse at the east end and a barrel vault roof which curves around it. The roof was replaced and windows inserted in the 16th century. The oak door is heavily studded. The interior has limewashed walls, a 15th-century font and flag stone floor, along with early 18th-century oak fittings. The eighteenth century oak pews, the pulpit, screen, communion rails and matching table with barley sugar turned legs, and other woodwork were provided by William Wake, Archbishop of Canterbury, who had been raised in the village of Shapwick and whose family lived locally. The west end has a late medieval gallery with a panelled front which was probably originally a rood screen. The roof is topped by a small weatherboard belfry which resembles a dovecote.
By the early 20th century, the church had fallen into disrepair and was being used as an animal shelter by a local farmer. Repairs were paid for by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings who sold a collection of Thomas Hardy’s manuscripts to raise the funding. The work was supervised by A. R. Powys who also oversaw the work at the Old St Cuthbert's Church, Oborne
Designated a Korean National Treasure, Geunjeongjeon Hall at Seoul's Gyeongbokgung Palace is considered to reflect the essence of traditional Korean palace architecture.
Built in 1395 the Hall was used for national ceremonies such as coronation ceremonies and the reception of foreign dignitaries during the Joseon Dynasty.
Destroyed by fire in 1592 the Hall was reconstructed in 1867 using the best architectural techniques at the time to reflect the grandeur and majesty of this unique wooden building.

Rocky point of land on Esther Lake in Grand Portage State Forest near Hovland, Minnesota. Esther Lake is a Designated Trout Lake - one of several in Northeastern Minnesota. Nothing but trout here. It's a lovely lake, about seven miles from the Canadian Border and about 40 miles from Grand Marais on Lake Superior.
The building was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1988.
"The soul-stirring grandeur of the Canadian Rockies is celebrated around the world. Pair that with a stay in the iconic 1888 castle, [styled after a Scottish Baronial castle and is a National Historic Site] and you’ve got the makings of a perfect dream. Our resort in Banff National Park at the base of Rundle Mountain is just minutes from the cosmopolitan mountain town of Banff. And classic adventures – wildlife tours, hiking, pristine blue lakes, skiing or gondola ride to the top of the peaks – are all around us." www.this-is-canada.com/banff/
Czech Republic
The Adršpach-Teplice Rocks (Czech: Adršpašsko-teplické skály, German: Adersbach-Weckelsdorfer Felsenstadt) are an unusual set of sandstone formations covering 17 km2 in northeastern Bohemia, Czech Republic. They are named after two nearby municipalities: Adršpach, and Teplice nad Metují.
The site was apparently a regional destination during the 19th and early 20th century, as attested by the varied language of stone inscriptions on the site, and surviving postcards.
The rocks have been protected as a national nature reserve since 1933, and since 1991 the whole adjacent region of Broumovsko has enjoyed the status of protected landscape area. Tourists may visit the rocks via a number of marked trails. The area is a popular destination for rock climbers.
The area is also one of the largest permanent breeding sites of peregrine falcon in Europe, as they are protected here under federal law. Some areas have been designated off limits to climbers and hikers to make sure the birds aren't disturbed.
Designated a World Heritage Site in 1984, Yosemite is internationally recognized for its cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams, giant sequoia groves, lakes, mountains, meadows, glaciers, and biological diversity. Almost 95 percent of the park is designated wilderness. Yosemite is one of the largest and least fragmented habitat blocks in the Sierra Nevada, and the park supports a diversity of plants and animals. The word Yosemite (meaning "killer" in Miwok) historically referred to the name that the Miwok gave to the Ahwahneechee People, an Indigenous tribe driven out of Yosemite Valley by the Mariposa Battalion. Previously, the region had been called "Ahwahnee" ("big mouth") by its only Indigenous inhabitants, the Ahwahneechee. The term Yosemite in Miwok is easily confused with a similar term for "grizzly bear", and is still a common misconception. Wikiwand.

Port Stanley Breakwater Lighthouse
Port Stanley
The Port Stanley Breakwater Lighthouse was designated a heritage lighthouse in 2016 under the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act. The lighthouse is an iconic structure in the Port Stanley community, and represents the close economic ties we have to Lake Erie. It has served mariners in the region for over a century.
Designated in 1919, Zion is Utah's oldest National Park. The park is known for its incredible canyons and spectacular views.
We followed the paths where ancient native people and pioneers walked. Gazed up at massive sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red that soar into a brilliant blue sky. We experienced the wilderness of Zion’s dramatic landscapes.
Breathtaking Zion Canyon is the centerpiece of this 147,000-acre parkland that protects a spectacular landscape of high plateaus, sheer canyons, and monolithic cliffs.

An approved patch job (it always is if the big "G" is painted out!) D&H GP39-2 diesel leads a westbound NYS&W "D&H Designated Operations" freight westward at Ninevah Junction. The lead unit adds to a rather colorful mixed bag lashup, as this westbound heads for the tunnel, and then the drop downhill into Binghamton. At this point in time the train has no choice but to go that way, however at one time this was where the Penn Division took off and headed south.

Livery Stables
215 Main Street, Port Stanley
This whimsical building may be the oldest structure in the village, and has been a livery, a confectionary shop, a retail store, and temporarily the Village Hall. Its large display windows in the front, distinctive features, and main location has always kept the Livery Stable at the hub of village life.
Kronborg Castle, Elsinore, Denmark.
Kronborg Castle towers above a very narrow promontory between the coasts of Denmark and Sweden. The renaissance castle stands majestically with its spires, towers, columns, sandstone and copper roofs. Kronborg Castle is a magnificent renaissance palace and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Harbour House
194 Main Street, Port Stanley
The building was constructed circa 1917 by the East Side Fish Company, although it was not completed until after the fishing industry began to decline. It was never used as a fishery but served for net mending and storage. The symmetrical design and the number of windows provide east, south and west exposure to both natural light and the sun's heat in a large structure that was originally heated only by small coal stoves.

The name of the place (Yushima Seidō - 湯島聖堂 with Japanese kanji) actually just means 'the sacred hall in Yushima'. It was built in this spot in 1690 (there was an earlier temple, founded in 1639, built in what is now Ueno Park, but the shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi moved it here). The temple was closely associated with the Shōhei-zaka Gakumonjo school of Neo-Confucianism, state-run from 1797 to the Meiji restoration of 1871. After 1871 the temple has shared its grounds with several educational institutions (and the Ministry of Education, and the Tokyo National Museum) - currently you can find parts of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University in the vicinity, and the school's emblem of a plum blossom is said to derive from the temple. Students praying for success in their exams come to visit here.
The temple itself is now made of concrete - the original was built in wood, but destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 (just a year after the temple had been designated a national historical site). The current building dates to 1935, and was designed by Itō Chūta (伊東忠太, 1867-1954, architect and architectural historian and theorist).

7 Church Street:
This house was built after 1861 by Samuel Day and was owned by James Carrie Sr., a local dry goods merchant from 1874 to 1893. Carrie owned the famous Scotch Warehouse. A.E. Maxwell was raised in this house.
This building is clad in yellow brick, which is also described as typical white brick of the area.
The bricks are reversed every seven rows, in a brick pattern known as "common bond".
The front door case is surrounded by frosted glass and sidelights. The roof is a hip with paired brackets under the eaves. The house exhibits Italianate features such as narrow windows and elaborate brackets. It has a classical balanced three bay facade with a central door.

Excerpt from www.railwaycitytourism.com/princess-ave-playhouse.html:
For over fifty seasons, the Elgin Theatre Guild has been entertaining audiences with productions ranging from comedies to dramas. Run entirely by volunteers, the Elgin Theatre Guild now produces four shows a year that bring thousands of patrons every year through the Princess Avenue Playhouse.
In addition to theatre productions, they host premier Canadian musical acts. In 2013, they presented the Juno Award-winning band Sloan, as well as Jimmy Rankin, among other fantastic acts.
The Princess Avenue Playhouse, home of the Elgin Theatre Guild, is located at 40 Princess Avenue. The former church, built in 1907 by the Church of Disciples, was sold to the Elgin Theatre Guild in 1987-1988, giving the building a new lease on life.
Since that time, the Guild has ensured that many of the original features of this fine building have been retained.
This handsome brick building, designed by architect Neil Darrach, has three outstanding facades (north, east, south) which are framed by two distinctively different towers. Anchored in the centre of each of the three facades at the second-floor level in the gable ends are sizable, circular stained-glass windows. These windows have been incorporated in several plays, including "Agnes of God". Noticeable in the brick construction of this building is the use of pink mortar.
San Francisco, California, USA
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California—the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula—to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. It also carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and is designated as part of U.S. Bicycle Route 95. Recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco and California.
The idea of a fixed link between San Francisco and Marin had gained increasing popularity during the late 19th century, but it was not until the early 20th century that such a link became feasible. Joseph Strauss served as chief engineer for the project, with Leon Moisseiff, Irving Morrow and Charles Ellis making significant contributions to its design. The bridge opened to the public in 1937 and has undergone various retrofits and other improvement projects in the decades since.
The Golden Gate Bridge is described in Frommer's travel guide as "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world." At the time of its opening in 1937, it was both the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the world, titles it held until 1964 and 1998 respectively. Its main span is 4,200 feet (1,280 m) and its total height is 746 feet (227 m).

GR III #2: This Wednesday I had my first "proper" photowalk with the tiny Ricoh, albeit a small walk with not too many photos (34 – almost like in the good old film days), because it was more of a family meeting at a small lake (we all wore masks) on the south-western outskirts of Berlin. I had decided to only take the Ricoh with me, in order to make myself a little more familiar with it. The shooting experience certainly is totally different from anything I know from my Olys or even the LX100, and I know that I will need some time to get used to it, but I also know already now that this camera is fun. OK, low light focus was very, very capricious (to say the least), but I also put that – and the fact that I missed quite a few shots – down on not having had figured the correct settings out, yet. I have now configured three different user presets (which, very conveniently, can be accessed via the mode dial), one for macro (not the GR III's designated purpose, I know, but macro is important for me), one for street (for starters, I've decided to experiment with Jpg only in order to check out the many film presets - you can even set up your own), and one for architecture / landscape, and I can't wait to go out again and take pictures ;-)
This photo is another kind of street image, because I found these remains of a birch tree at a residential street near by the above mentioned lake. The little oak sprout that obviously has found a new home within the birch stump caught my eye, I hope it will survive and transform the remnants of that once proud birch into an equally proud oak one day. The background had been a black car, not exactly what I'd call the perfect background, but when I imported the images I realised that the metering setting I should have used for my first Ricoh image posted here on Flickr – the flamingo / Pinoccio flower, please see the second comment, if you like – accidentally must have been my exposure metering setting for the entire walk around the lake: highlight weighted metering ;-) So it was easy to "disguise" the car and to process this image in claire obscure / chiaroscuro style. I hope you like it.
P.S. I know that an oak sprout is not a flower, but I hope that it looks flowery enough for Freitagsblümchen ;-) Happy weekend, dear Flickr friends!
Blackpool Tower is a tourist attraction in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, which was opened to the public on 14 May 1894. When it opened, Blackpool Tower was the tallest man made structure in the British Empire. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it is 518 feet (158 metres) tall and is the 125th-tallest freestanding tower in the world. Blackpool Tower is also the common name for the Tower Buildings, an entertainment complex in a red-brick three-storey block that comprises the tower, Tower Circus, the Tower Ballroom, and roof gardens, which was designated a Grade I listed building in 1973.

Tucked into the mountains of California, Yosemite National Park is renowned for its granite cliffs and waterfalls. Half Dome and El Capitan are two of the formations made famous by photographer Ansel Adams. The park, which encompasses 1,189 square miles (3,080 square km), was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984.
