That time of year...

This picturesque reservoir is situated in the South of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Part of me has the urge to want to swim into that plughole to see where I end up...

At sunset last night there was is beautiful display from the clouds! I'm always a sucker for dramatic clouds!

A bolt of lightning carves a line through the northern sky, lighting up the clouds and silhouetting the tree across the field, before ending below the horizon.

è il principale luogo di culto cattolico di Madrid, sede vescovile dell'omonima arcidiocesi metropolitana.

Il tempio, consacrato da Giovanni Paolo II nel 1993, si trova nella centrale piazza de la Armería, di fronte al Palazzo Reale, ed è dedicato alla patrona della città, la Virgen de la Almudena.Il desiderio di avere una cattedrale a Madrid, capitale del regno, esisteva dai tempi di Filippo II, nel XVI secolo, ma l'attuazione venne sempre rimandata per diversi motivi, non ultima l'opposizione degli arcivescovi di Toledo, che non volevano la separazione di Madrid dai territori della loro arcidiocesi. La situazione si risolse nel 1885, quando Leone XIII decretò la creazione della diocesi di Madrid.

 

Come chiesa cattedrale venne scelta la parrocchiale di Santa Maria de la Almudena, la cui costruzione era iniziata nel 1883, con la posa della prima pietra da parte di re Alfonso XII di Spagna, sui terreni dove sorgeva un precedente tempio dedicato alla patrona di Madrid, demolito nel 1868. Quest'area, vicina al palazzo Reale, venne ceduta al patrimonio reale nel 1879, grazie alla mediazione della regina Mercedes d'Orléans, devota alla Vergine dell'Almudena.

Il progetto iniziale della cattedrale, che andava a modificare quello per la parrocchiale dell'Almudena, si deve all'architetto Francisco de Cubas y González-Montes, noto come marchese di Cubas, il quale, ispirandosi a Viollet-le-Duc, prevedeva una monumentale opera in stile neogotico. La costruzione iniziò dalla cripta, in stile neoromanico, terminata dall'architetto Enrique María Repullés y Vargas e aperta al culto nel 1911. I lavori ripresero dal 1950, sotto la direzione di Fernando Chueca Goitia e Carlos Sidro, con alcune modifiche al progetto originario, che stabilirono l'utilizzo dello stile neoclassico per l'esterno della cattedrale, mantenendo lo stile neogotico all'interno. I lavori proseguirono sino al 1965, per poi riprendere nel 1984. Il 15 giugno 1993 la cattedrale di Madrid venne consacrata da papa Giovanni Paolo II.

Durante la costruzione dell'Almudena, fu cattedrale "provvisoria" di Madrid la collegiata di San Isidro (dal 1885 al 1993). it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattedrale_dell%27Almudena

 

Waited in the rain for an hour, got a 5 minute window to shoot Swiftcurrent Lake in Glacier National Park. Hence the title, the next storm was looming on the other side of the lake.

The benefit of an early morning meeting 😄

Happy SoS ❤

Out for a walk along the Welford arm of the canal just around the corner from my house - bit of a damp affair, however, created some great sky's and fabulous contrast - these two white horses stood out against a very dramatic background... finally dried out.

These cereal fields are located in Alykos area between Tseri and Analiontas in Nicosia, Cyprus. The local name of the cone-shaped hill is “Vouni tis Rkas” (Granny's hill). According to folklore, the hill was originally a wheat pile which belonged to an old stingy woman. Jesus was passing from the area and asked for some wheat, but the woman refused and the wheat was transformed into soil; on a clear day one can see the inverted sieve of the woman at the hilltop.

 

Now, the scientific description: “Distinctive sedimentary geomorphology of Nicosia Formation. These hills are formed as their upper part consist of hard rock (usually sandstone or conglomerate) and the sides of soft marl rocks.” [Constantinou and Panagides (2013) Cyprus and Geology: Science, Environment, Culture].

 

Some technical info for those interested: this is a single RAW shot taken with Nikon D750 and Nikon 14-24 mm f/2.8 @ 14.0 mm and ƒ/8 with shutter speed 1/250s and ISO 100. Post processing first in LR for some basic adjustments and then to PS for enhancement and sharpening using Nik tools.

 

Let me know what you think!

 

Taken near Devils Den in the Marlborough Downs. Here I was trying to capture the gentle curves of the Wiltshire landscape and bleakness of winter with no crops of foliage on the trees. Three bracketed shots blended in PS.
