Langdale boulders.have recently been designated by English Heritage as an ancient monument of national importance, following the discovery of prehistoric 'cup and ring' markings. These consist of indentations and concentric circles, which date to about 2,500-5,000 years ago.
Toruń is one of most attractive and historic towns in Poland.
It is famous for being the birthplace ( in 1474 ) of the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus whose epochal book, De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium is universally regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy.
In 1997 the old medieval quarter of Toruń comprising the Old Town ( 1233 ), the New Town ( 1264 ) and the Teutonic Knights Castle ( mid 13th c. ) was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for having preserved almost intact its original medieval street layout. Toruń is full of Gothic monuments of architecture, all built of brick, such as the Town Hall, The Leaning Tower, numerous churches and many burgher houses around the central market square and the surrounding streets.
If you ever are in Gdańsk on the coast, I recommend driving down to Toruń - it's only 2hrs away on the motorway - the place has a great artistic atmosphere and a lively cafe scene.
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.

INSULA
Con questo nome, in senso metaforico, i Romani designavano la casa, la quale in origine, essendo separata dalle case vicine per mezzo di uno spazio libero di due piedi e mezzo (ambitus), rassomigliava a un'isola.

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 Athabasca River is the longest river in Alberta (1,538 km). The Athabasca River headwaters are located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains , at the Columbia Icefield. The first 168 km (located in Jasper National Park) are designated as a Canadian Heritage River. As a tributary to the Mackenzie River, water flowing on the Athabasca River eventually drains into the Arctic Ocean."

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.

Charleroi. J'y ai grandi jusqu'à l'âge de 12 ans et j'y retourne régulièrement.
En 2008, le magazine néerlandais Volkskrant désignait Charleroi comme étant la ville la plus laide du monde. Depuis, le centre-ville fait l'objet de transformations mais... Rome ne s'est pas faite en un jour 😄. Les crises qui se succèdent depuis quelques années ont encore abaissé le niveau de vie des habitants. On la dit capitale wallonne de la pauvreté, c'est ce que j'illustre ici, mais c'est aussi la capitale de la débrouillardise et de l'entraide, une ville cosmopolite vibrante et ouverte à toutes les nouvelles expressions des arts et de la communication.

Charleroi. I grew up there until I was 12 and go back regularly.
In 2008, the Dutch magazine Volkskrant designated Charleroi as the ugliest city in the world. Since then, the city center has undergone transformations but... Rome wasn't built in a day 😄. The successive crises over the past few years have further lowered the standard of living of the inhabitants. It is said to be the Walloon capital of poverty, which is what I am illustrating here, but it is also the capital of resourcefulness and mutual aid, a vibrant cosmopolitan city open to all new forms of art.

Warwick Bar Conservation Area covers an area of 16.2 hectares (40 acres) where the Birmingham-to-London Grand Union Canal meets the Digbeth Branch Canal.[1] It was designated such status on 25 June 1987.[2] It covers the entire length of the Digbeth Branch Canal through the Eastside area and a section of the River Rea. To the south is the Digbeth, Deritend and Bordesley High Streets Conservation Area.[1]
The conservation area includes three of the statutorily listed buildings in Birmingham, each built by the canal company in the 1840s and 1850s, and a locally listed canal warehouse built in 1935. In total, there are five listed buildings and six locally listed buildings.[1] One locally listed building, the former Co-op furniture factory works (1899) on Belmont Row was destroyed by fire on 11 January 2007 in a suspected arson attack. Seventy-five percent of the building was damaged by a fire which caused the roof to collapse and which also destroyed seven arched windows.[3] On 18 January 2007, the façade of the building, which had survived the fire albeit smoke damaged, collapsed in on itself in high winds owing to the lack of support it received after the fire had been put out. This building had been due to be redeveloped as part of the Ventureast regeneration project

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.

Designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres is a masterpiece of French gothic art. The cathedral is exceptionally well preserved, surviving the Wars of Religion, the French Revolution, and World War II. The majority of the original stained glass windows survive intact, while the architecture has seen only minor changes since the early 13th century.
Joseph Campbell wrote in The Power of Myth "I'm back in the Middle Ages. ... That cathedral talks to me about the spiritual information of the world. It's a place for meditation, just walking around, just sitting, just looking at those beautiful things."
King Henri IV was crowned here in the choir on February 26, 1594.

Hope you have a great Sunday. The California drought has broken, and we are in the middle of a major storm -- it's a Pineapple Express that will bring flooding to the Sierra Nevada Mountains as well as Bay Area rivers and streams. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your visits, comments, awards and faves -- they mean a lot to me.

Port Stanley Breakwater Lighthouse
Port Stanley

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.

The Chapel on the Rock (officially, Saint Catherine of Siena Chapel) is a tourist landmark in Allenspark, Colorado, USA. The chapel is located on the grounds of the Saint Malo Retreat, Conference, and Spiritual Center of the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver which has been closed since November 2011.
In 1999 Boulder County designated the chapel as a historic site.
Pope Saint John Paul II prayed at the chapel during his visit to Denver for World Youth Day in 1993; he blessed the chapel afterwards. The pope later hiked in the surrounding woods and spent some time at the Saint Malo Retreat Center.
In November 2011 the Chapel on the Rock was spared from a devastating fire that destroyed a majority of the retreat center, forcing it to close its doors.
During the rock slides of September 2013 the Chapel on the Rock survived, though much of the surrounding terrain was destroyed

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.

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 original public school on Balaclava Street in St. Thomas was a two-storey brick building designed by architect David Kilpatrick and constructed in 1874 by general contractor David Munro at a cost of $2,500. The original school was known as St. David's Ward School. Due to overcrowding, additions to the original building were constructed in 1876, 1879 and 1883. The school’s catchment area continued to grow, however, and in May 1897 the St. Thomas School Board authorized the construction of two new three-storey, twelve-room schools, one of which would replace the existing Balaclava Street School. The architect John Zell Long was chosen to design and supervise the construction of the new Balaclava Street School, which was officially opened on January 27, 1899.

Kinkaku-ji "Temple of the Golden Pavilion"), officially named Rokuon-ji, lit. "Deer Garden Temple"), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.
The garden complex is an excellent example of Muromachi period garden design. The Muromachi period is considered to be a classical age of Japanese garden design. The correlation between buildings and its settings were greatly emphasized during this period. It was a way to integrate the structure within the landscape in an artistic way. The garden designs were characterized by a reduction in scale, a more central purpose, and a distinct setting.
A minimalistic approach was brought to the garden design, by recreating larger landscapes in a smaller scale around a structure.
It is designated as a National Special Historic Site and a National Special Landscape, and it is one of 17 locations comprising the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto World Heritage Site. It is also one of the most popular buildings in Japan, attracting a large number of visitors annually.

Former Grantham (Lake Street) Fire Hall
The former Lake Street Fire Hall is one of the oldest remnant fire halls existing in the City of St. Catharines. The building was constructed of steel and masonry in the Neo Tudor Style. The architect was Thomas H. Wiley, whose work is considered important locally. The architectural features include; a traditional red brick façade laid in Flemish bond pattern; elaborate decorative painted wood cornice and frieze; original wood windows; and decorative, rare circle muntin bars in the windows. The original stone fire hall signs still hang over two of the doors as well as a stone carving set in entablature over the main door showing a fire carriage being pulled by horses, and stone plaques set in masonry showing the fire fighting crest. It is also interesting to note that the building was built to accommodate a horse drawn hose wagon, but by 1920 a four cylinder Reo fire truck was being used. The Reo fire truck was built in St. Catharines.
