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.
Pikes Peak is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, in North America. The ultra-prominent 14,115-foot (4,302.31 m) "fourteener" is located in Pike National Forest, 12.0 miles (19.3 km) west of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The mountain is named in honor of American explorer Zebulon Pike, who was unable to reach the summit. The summit is higher than any point in the United States east of its longitude. The red rock formations are part of Garden of the Gods, a public park located in Colorado Springs. It was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1971.
Santorini caldera is a large, mostly submerged caldera, located in the southern Aegean Sea, 120 kilometers north of Crete in Greece. Visible above water is the circular Santorini island group, consisting of Santorini (classic Greek Thera), the main island, Therasia and Aspronisi at the periphery, and the Kameni islands at the center. It has been designated a Decade Volcano.
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.

VELSEN - The Ventilation Towers, which are also called Hyacinths, no longer have a function since the tunnel was completely renovated a few years ago, they remain standing, because they have been designated as a National Monument.
The Velsertunnel is part of the A22 motorway, goes under the North Sea Canal and is the oldest motorway tunnel in the Netherlands.
It was quite a climb but it was worth it for the panoramic views including this view of the Kasbah Ait Benhaddou. It gives you a good look at the famous crenellated towers.
In the desert areas of Morocco kasbah means a large estate home like a manor house in English or hacienda in Spanish. The beautiful Kasbah Ait Benhaddou has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and has been the location for many movies. It sits in a small oasis next to a mostly dry stream bed with towering hills of stone behind it.
Thank you for your visit, favourites and comments!
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitenstein_(Schwäbische_Alb)
Der Breitenstein ist ein 811,2 m ü. NHN[1] hohes Felsplateau in Baden-Württemberg. Es liegt nahe dem Dorf Ochsenwang an der Kreisstraße 1220 auf der Gemarkung der Gemeinde Bissingen an der Teck. Der Felsvorsprung besteht aus Weißjuragestein und liegt am Nordrand der Schwäbischen Alb direkt am Albtrauf.
Von dem ca. 200 Meter breiten Plateau des Breitensteins aus bietet sich ein von Vegetation nicht behinderter weiter Blick auf das ca. 400 Meter tiefer gelegene, nördlich der Schwäbischen Alb gelegene Gebiet – im Nordwesten bis nach Stuttgart – weshalb er ein beliebter Ausflugsort ist und auf nahezu allen Karten der Gegend verzeichnet ist.
Auf dem Plateau Breitenstein befindet sich eine Bronzetafel, in der die Lage und Entfernung der von dort sichtbaren Orte verzeichnet ist.
Der Breitenstein ist sowohl als geschütztes Geotop und unter dem Namen Felspartie des Breitenstein auch als flächenhaftes Naturdenkmal ausgewiesen.

The Breitenstein is a rocky plateau 811.2 m above sea level[1] in Baden-Württemberg. It is located near the village of Ochsenwang on the district road 1220 in the district of Bissingen an der Teck. The rocky outcrop is made of Weißjura stone and lies on the northern edge of the Swabian Alb directly on the Alb ridge.
From the approx. 200-metre-wide plateau of the Breitenstein, there is a wide view, unobstructed by vegetation, of the area approx. 400 metres below, to the north of the Swabian Alb - as far as Stuttgart in the northwest - which is why it is a popular place for excursions and is marked on almost all maps of the area.
There is a bronze plaque on the Breitenstein plateau that lists the location and distance of the places visible from there.
The Breitenstein is designated both as a protected geotope and, under the name Felspartie des Breitenstein, also as an areal natural monument.
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.
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... 😉
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.

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.

Rannoch Moor (/ˈrænəx/ (listen), Scottish Gaelic: Mòinteach Raineach/Raithneach) is an expanse of around 50 square miles (130 km2) of boggy moorland to the west of Loch Rannoch in Scotland, where it extends from and into westerly Perth and Kinross, northerly Lochaber (in Highland), and the area of Highland Scotland toward its south-west, northern Argyll and Bute. Rannoch Moor is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation.[2] Much of the western part of the moor lies within the Ben Nevis and Glen Coe National Scenic Area,[3] one of 40 such areas in Scotland
* Given that Spurn Point is relatively close to Hull I guess it's surprising I do not go there often. It is the oddest and wildest part of East Yorkshire with huge skies. However I find it too desolate to really enjoy, though some of my friends who are serious birders love it . This shot was taken on the narrowest parts of the spit. On the left hand side is the North Sea and on the right the waters of the Humber estuary . The little wooden cabin is a shelter in case a high tide cuts you off from the mainland which is not uncommon. You can see the lighthouse which is about four miles further along the spit.
Its a hard place to describe so I will borrow some text from the Yorkshire wildlife trust .
From the Yorkshire wildlife trust website
Spurn Point (or Spurn Head as it is also known) is a narrow sand spit on the tip of the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire, that reaches into the North Sea and forms the north bank of the mouth of the Humber estuary. It is over 3 miles long, almost half the width of the estuary at that point, and as little as 50 yards wide in places. The southernmost tip is known as Spurn Head or Spurn Point and is the home to an RNLI lifeboat station and disused lighthouse. It forms part of the civil parish of Easington.
Spurn Head covers 280 acres above high water and 450 acres of foreshore. It has been owned since 1960 by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and is a designated National Nature Reserve, Heritage Coast and is part of the Humber Flats, Marshes and Coast Special Protection Area.
The peninsula is made up from sand and shingle as well as Boulder Clay eroded from the Holderness coastline washed down the coastline from Flamborough Head. Material is washed down the coast by longshore drift and accumulates to form the long, narrow embankment in the sheltered waters inside the mouth of the Humber estuary. It is maintained by plants, especially Marram grass . Waves carry material along the peninsula to the tip, continually extending it; as this action stretches the peninsula it also narrows it to the extent that the sea can cut across it in severe weather. When the sea cuts across it permanently, everything beyond the breach is swept away, only to eventually reform as a new spit pointing further south. This cycle of destruction and reconstruction occurs approximately every 250 years. The now crumbling defences will not be replaced and the spit will continue to move westwards at a rate of 2 metres per year, keeping pace with the coastal erosion further north.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

The barasingha, also called swamp deer, is a deer species distributed in the Indian subcontinent. Populations in northern and central India are fragmented, and two isolated populations occur in southwestern Nepal. It has been extirpated in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and its presence is uncertain in Bhutan.
The swamp deer differs from all other Indian deer species in that the antlers carry more than three tines. Because of this distinctive character it is designated bārah-singgā, meaning "twelve-horned" in Hindustani. Mature stags usually have 10 to 14 tines, and some have been known to have up to 20.
In Assamese, barasingha is called dolhorina; dol meaning swamp. (Wikipedia)
Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India. March 2016.
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 onFebruary 26, 1594.
A highlight of our visit to France in October, 2016.
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.

Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺, literally "Temple of the Golden Pavilion"), officially named Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺, literally "Deer Garden Temple"), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.[2] It is one of the most popular buildings in Japan, attracting many visitors annually.[3] It is designated as a National Special Historic Site, a National Special Landscape and is one of 17 locations making up the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto which are World Heritage Sites.
The Golden Pavilion (金閣 Kinkaku) is a three-storey building on the grounds of the Rokuon-ji temple complex.[11] The top two stories of the pavilion are covered with pure gold leaf.[11] The pavilion functions as a shariden (舎利殿), housing relics of the Buddha (Buddha's Ashes). The building was an important model for Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion Temple) and Shōkoku-ji, which are also located in Kyoto.[2] When these buildings were constructed, Ashikaga Yoshimasa employed the styles used at Kinkaku-ji and even borrowed the names of its second and third floors.
The site of Kinkaku-ji was originally a villa called Kitayama-dai (北山第), belonging to a powerful statesman, Saionji Kintsune.[5] Kinkaku-ji's history dates to 1397, when the villa was purchased from the Saionji family by shōgun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and transformed into the Kinkaku-ji complex.[5] When Yoshimitsu died the building was converted into a Zen temple by his son, according to his wishes.
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.
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/
Allan Gardens Conservatory is a major landmark and tourist attraction in downtown Toronto. Its historic, cast-iron and glass domed "Palm House" was built in 1910 and is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. A botanical gem in the heart of the city, Allan Gardens has a permanent collection of exotic plants and beautiful seasonal flower shows 119
The reserve is approximately 50 hectares (124 acres) in size and is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its wetland habitats, in particular, the wet woodland.
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.

Silverton is a statutory town that is the county seat, the most populous community, and the only incorporated municipality in San Juan County, Colorado, United States. The town is located in a remote part of the western San Juan Mountains, a range of the Rocky Mountains. The first mining claims were made in mountains above the Silverton in 1860, near the end of the Colorado Gold Rush and when the land was still controlled by the Utes. Silverton was established shortly after the Utes ceded the region in the 1873 Brunot Agreement, and the town boomed from silver mining until the Panic of 1893 led to a collapse of the silver market, and boomed again from gold mining until the recession caused by the Panic of 1907. The entire town is included as a federally designated National Historic Landmark District, the Silverton Historic District.
Originally called "Bakers Park", Silverton sits in a flat area of the Animas River valley and is surrounded by steep peaks. Most of the peaks surrounding Silverton are thirteeners, the highest being Storm Peak, at 13,487 feet. The town is less than 15 miles from 7 of Colorado's 53 fourteeners, and is known as one of the premier gateways into the Colorado backcountry.
Silverton's last operating mine closed in 1992, and the community now depends primarily on tourism and government remediation and preservation projects. Silverton is well known because of the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a former mine train that is now a National Historic Landmark, and internationally recognized events such as the Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run. The town population was 622 at the 2020 census.

Togakushi town is designated as a Denkenchiku (重要伝統的建造物群保存地区) or Townscape Conservation Area for the Group of Traditional Architectures by the Agency for Cultural Affairs (文化庁). Approach roads to the Chuusha shrine are lined up with Shukubou (宿坊) that are lodges for pilgrims or Dharamsala. Many were built during the Edo Period (17-19th century). They are large wooden architectures with thatched roofing. Many of them are still used for accommodation.
Togakushi town is located at an altitude of 1200m and winter climate is like this. It is not very suitable for agriculture. The town has been depending for centuries on pilgrims, Shugendou ascetics and, recently, tourists.

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

113 Louisa Street
This one-storey brick building was built in 1875. It has a hip roof with gable over the front porch which has been added at a later date. The upright supports are situated in two groups of three pillars. The window surrounds and sills are plain and wooden. It is an example of a 19th century simple brick structure with
interesting eaves-bracket detail.
