A fantastic way to start the New Year out of the water. Cold but like a mill pond out today.

The snow on the garden is thawing, so just a quick shot of the only icicles there are before they too are gone.

It takes almost an hour to get out of the concrete jungle we live in and find an open vista with a clear view to a distant horizon.
Molly sniffs less and keeps her head up more out here.
There is something restorative about expanded horizons.

The pointe Saint-Mathieu (Lok Mazé in Breton) is a headland located near Le Conquet in the territory of the commune of Plougonvelin in France, flanked by 20m high cliffs.
At present, there are only a few houses on the point, grouped around the abbey ruins. However, in the past the settlement was not limited to the abbey and its dependents. Very soon a village was established along the coast for commercial potential and the possibilities for salvaging wrecks.
The abbey held many privileges - right to rushes, right to furnaces, rights to a twelfth of jet, right to markets, right to fairs (Henry IV of France had instituted, in 1602, 5 annual fairs and a weekly market), right to measure wheat and wine, etc...
In 1157 Hervé de Léon accorded the abbey the right of flotsam and jetsam on wrecks in all his fiefdoms; in 1390 the abbey received the right to take 10% of the hull, cargo and rigging of wrecked ships. To this right were added the right of remains, confirmed in 1602 by royal letters patent. He accorded this right to the monks for "all those who perish in the sea, and on the coasts at Saint Mathieu, Plougonvelin and le Conquet".
Today abandoned, the Abbaye Saint-Mathieu de Fine-Terre, was said to have held the skull of the apostle Matthew, now lost in the ocean off the point. Its ruins served as a set for the summer TV saga Dolmen.
The point also has a 56m high lighthouse, built in 1835.
The first signal station near the point was built in 1806, but the present one was built nearer the point in 1906, to give a view of the chenal du Four as the entrance to Brest. Progressively expanded in the 20th century, its top is now 39m above sea level, with lodging for spotters.

I just love how this abstract one turned out! A macro shot of oil in water with a coloured background placed underneath the bowl of water!
This image was taken as part of a photo contest, where I only had 30 minutes to do a photoshoot inside one of Thessaloniki's oldest buildings. And guess what: I actually won the contest! So happy! nickiupstairs.com/bensousan-contest-en/

Cute they both are but it is a little bit of a mystery as to why they would be placed side by side, to me ... came across this street art on Princes Street in Edinburgh!

365/2021 - Expanding Horizons - Day 84 Mar 25 - This piece of driftwood always reminds me of a Sea Serpent guarding the beach!
As more and more Boomers retire, scenes similar to this will be a normal occurrence.
In a month I will be moving back to Wyoming after experiencing this reality first hand.
Although the desert environment can be quite beautiful with its unique ecosystem, seeing it consumed like this is just plain sad.

On our walk today I spotted some lovely rambling roses climbing through the trees. After the rain of yesterday most were quite battered but this one seems to have weathered the storm.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
opens its leaves and expands its petals, at the first pattering of the shower, and rejoices in the rain-drops with a quicker sympathy than the packed shrubs in the sandy desert.

Water lilies are a well studied clade of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants, and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. Analyses of floral morphology and molecular characteristics and comparisons with a sister taxon, the family Cabombaceae, indicate, however, that the flowers of extant water lilies with the most floral parts are more derived than the genera with fewer floral parts. Genera with more floral parts, Nuphar, Nymphaea, Victoria, have a beetle pollination syndrome, while genera with fewer parts are pollinated by flies or bees, or are self- or wind-pollinated Thus, the large number of relatively unspecialized floral organs in the Nymphaeaceae is not an ancestral condition for the clade.

This photograph was one of those that come when you remember to turn around and look the other way.
These formations may have been arches that have collapsed due to sculpting by wind and water for centuries. These are in the Windows Section of Arches National Park. It is in the Windows Section of Arches National Park.The LaSal Mountains are visible in the distance between the formations.
Arches National park lies above an underground salt bed, which is the main cause of the formation of the arches, spires, balanced rocks, sandstone fins, and eroded monoliths in the area. This salt bed is thousands of feet thick in places, and was deposited in the Paradox Basin of the Colorado Plateau some 300 million years ago when a sea flowed into the region and eventually evaporated. Over millions of years, the salt bed was covered with debris eroded from the Uncompahgre Uplift to the northeast. During the Early Jurassic (about 210 Ma) desert conditions prevailed in the region and the vast Navajo Sandstone was deposited. An additional sequence of stream laid and windblown sediments, the Entrada Sandstone (about 140 Ma), was deposited on top of the Navajo. Over 5000 feet (1500 m) of younger sediments were deposited and have been mostly eroded away. Remnants of the cover exist in the area including exposures of the Cretaceous Mancos Shale.
the major formations visible in the park today are the salmon-colored Entrada Sandstone, in which most of the arches form, and the buff-colored Navajo Sandstone. These are visible in layer cake fashion throughout most of the park. Over time water seeped into the superficial cracks, joints and folds of these layers. Ice formed in the fissures, expanding and putting pressure on surrounding rock, breaking off bits and pieces.

On National Trust Land, this imposing and isolated lodge is available to rent out. Fabulous views but I'm not so sure about being there at night.

NEW CHAPTER, MY FRIENDS (30.06.2010): After removing my website link (more than 1,000), I´ve just received the same message and I´m out of the search lists again. Or this has relation with the message above or has no sense...
I´m not allowed by Flickr to link my personal website.... amazing....! After so many years... Maybe it´s a consequence of the Israel message, I don´t want to think bad, but I don´t believe in coincidences, moreover when lots of user are allowed to. If I continue here is because the great number of friends I´ve meet, but I´m taking advantage of this in order to complain and let you see the kind of injustice that Flickr is doing these days. Let´s see who can be more annoying...

NUEVO CAPÍTULO, AMIGOS (30.06.2010): Después de eliminar el link a mi web (más de 1000!), acabo de recibir el mismo mensaje y me han vuelto a sacar de las listas. O esto tiene algo que ver con el mensaje de arriba o no tiene sentido...
Después de cuatro años no se me permite poner el link a mi web... es increíble! Probablemente es una consecuencia al mensaje de Israel, no creo en las coincidencias y menos cuando muchos usuarios lo hacen. Si continuo por aquí es debido al gran número de amigos que he hecho, pero aprovecharé esto para protestar y hacer ver y protestar por las estupideces que Flickr está haciendo últimamente. Veremos quién molesta más...
