Wasserburg has a pretty unique setting: the river Inn goes around the town in a big loop, encircling the town by 7/8.
So, in the lower center we have the river, a bridge and the Brucktor, a historic city gate, first mentioned in AD 1338, current structure dates back to about AD 1470.
In the upper right background the river Inn appears again, behind the steeple of the St. Jakob church (completed in AD 1478).

The city of Bergamo is composed of an old walled core, known as Città Alta ("Upper Town"), nestled within a system of hills, and the modern expansion in the plains below. The upper town is encircled by massive Venetian defensive systems that are a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 9 July 2017
Of all the special birds I hoped to see on my trip to Gujarat in western India, this was top of my list… and it didn't disappoint. The Indian Courser is a beautifully marked bird and this example was spotted on a dry plain by our eagle-eyed guide as we travelled along a dual carriageway at about 80kph (50mph). Our driver reversed and then drove on to the plain where the courser continued to feed on insects, finally encircling our car at a distance of just a few metres. What a feast for the eyes!
The Bow River flows by Castle Mountain in Banff National Park. I like how the mist encircles the peaks, like wearing a scarf to stay warm on a cold morning!
Buachaille Etive Mòr (Scottish Gaelic: Buachaille Eite Mòr, meaning "the herdsman of Etive"), generally known to climbers simply as The Buachaille, is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its pyramidal form, as seen from the A82 road when travelling towards Glen Coe, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, and one of the most depicted on postcards and calendars.
Buachaille Etive Mòr takes the form of a ridge nearly five miles (8 km) in length, almost entirely encircled by the River Etive and its tributaries. The ridge contains four principal tops: from north-east to south-west these are Stob Dearg (1022 m), Stob na Doire (1011 m), Stob Coire Altruim (941 m) and Stob na Bròige (956 m).

The town of Óbidos is located on a hill and is still encircled by a fortified wall. The well-preserved mediaeval look of its streets, squares, walls and its massive castle have turned the picturesque village into a preferred tourist attraction in Portugal
The boardwalk on Wildwing Lake is a popular attraction at Kensington Metropark, near Milford, Michigan. In the Spring and early Summer especially, it can be a great place from which to photograph birds. The boardwalk is seen here on a warm autumn afternoon from a point along a trail that encircles the lake.

Mid Summer is hardly the best time to catch the mist around the Castle so I was pleased that this small amount caught the early rays of the sun. Always a magical place to witness dawn even if you don't catch the image you long for.
Of the four species of longspurs that can be found in North America, the Lapland Longspur is the only one that can be found outside of North America. Its range encircles the northern reaches of the Northern Hemisphere and it’s a common breeding bird in Eurasia, where it’s known as Lapland Bunting.
The area of the town of Óbidos is located on a hilltop, encircled by a fortified wall. Óbidos remains a well-preserved example of medieval architecture; its streets, squares, walls and its castle are a popular tourist destination. The castle now houses a pousada. The municipality is also home to the famous Praia D'el Rey golf complex, one of the top golf resorts in Europe, and Royal Óbidos - Spa & Golf Resort.
Each July Óbidos castle hosts a traditional 'Medieval Market'.

Christian House (1889) Queen Anne. This graceful residence was constructed by Harfield Timberlake Christian, founder of an early San Diego abstract company. It is built in a popular late Victorian design characterized by a variety of chimneys, shingles, a corner tower, and an encircling veranda.
This species is a member of the "Diving Duck" family but favors shallower water than other members so navigates closer to the shorelines. They have a tendency to sit a little higher in the water than other species and much of the time will be swimming with their tails elevated. One of our common nesters in central and northern Ontario and uses the entire country of Canada for their breeding grounds.
This is one of our easiest duck species to identify with the two white rings encircling the bill. This drake is one of a small flock stopping at Moira Lake on their way north.
Buachaille Etive Mòr (/ˈbuəxeɪl ˈɛtɪv ˈmɔːr/), generally known to climbers simply as The Buachaille, is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its pyramidal form, as seen from the A82 road when travelling towards Glen Coe, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, and one of the most depicted on postcards and calendars.
Buachaille Etive Mòr takes the form of a ridge nearly five miles (8 km) in length, almost entirely encircled by the River Etive and its tributaries. The ridge contains four principal tops: from north-east to south-west these are Stob Dearg (1021.4 m), Stob na Doire (1011 m), Stob Coire Altruim (941 m) and Stob na Bròige (956 m). Stob Dearg and Stob na Bròige are both Munros; the latter was promoted to Munro status by the Scottish Mountaineering Club in 1997.
Buachaille as seen from the north with all its main peaks visible. (See the image annotations on its Wikimedia Commons page.)
The steep, craggy north-eastern face of Stob Dearg forms the classic aspect of the mountain as seen from the Kings House Hotel, and constitutes the most direct route of ascent for climbers and scramblers. Crowberry Ridge, a classic rock climb graded severe, was first climbed direct – and photographed – in 1900 by the Abraham brothers with Messrs Puttrell and Baker. Immediately to the left is Curved Ridge, one of the most famous scrambling routes.
Alternatively there is a somewhat eroded path leading steeply up the Coire na Tulaich which, in summer conditions, allows walkers to ascend the peaks, reaching the ridge about half a kilometre west of Stob Dearg.
Buachaille Etive Mòr is separated from its sister mountain of Buachaille Etive Beag to the west by the valley of Lairig Gartain. To the east lies Glen Etive, which provides an alternative route of ascent, heading up steep grassy slopes to the summit of Stob na Bròige. Another route follows the Allt Coire Altruim from the Lairig Gartain, reaching the ridge about two thirds of the way along from the north. This route is often used as descent route in conjunction with an ascent via Coire na Tulaich, forming a circular route with a walk out along the Lairig Gartain.
On 24 January 2009, three mountain climbers were killed and one was seriously injured in an avalanche.
The Buachaille has become synonymous with Landscape Photography in Scotland and is probably the most photographed mountain in the country. The most popular spot for this is the small waterfalls on the River Coupall to the east of the mountain. In recent years, the condition of the ground around these falls has deteriorated rapidly and many photographers now actively encourage staying away from the area to allow for regeneration. The site has also become popular for wedding photography with the mountain providing a dramatic backdrop.
You can't actually see the storm yet, but we were ahead of it driving up to this lake. The sky had started to get the interesting colors in the clouds, even though the part of the the lake where we were shooting still had sun shining brightly, always an interesting contrast. We got about two dozen shots from various angles and then got out just before the storm arrived.
Paulina Lake (paw LYE nah) is located within the caldera of Newberry Volcano, about 25 miles south of Bend, Oregon. The Newberry Caldera encircles the basins of Paulina and East lakes and it is nearly 5 miles (8 km) in diameter. This collapsed caldera is the result of more than 500,000 years of volcanic activity. Elevated 6,300 feet above sea level, Paulina Lake is the largest (1,530 acres) and the deepest (250 feet) lake in the Newberry Caldera. The average depth of the lake is 165 feet. Most parts of the lake are 200 feet deep, whereas the southeast edge of the lake is 40 feet deep.
I walked alone through the misty woods and listened to the tender sounds of nature that encircled me. Time was frozen and I wished to stay in those calm moments forever. I thought my eyes caught a glimpse of a wondrous beast, but it was gone so quickly. This is her woods I thought to myself, and I am humbled to have shared that moment with her.

Morning mists rise above Reflection Lake as the sun caresses Mt. Rainier.
"Mount Rainier is ranked third of the 128 ultra-prominent mountain peaks of the United States (Denali and Mauna Kea top it). In topography, prominence measures the height of a mountain's summit relative to the lowest contour line encircling it. Mount Rainier has a topographic prominence of 13,210 ft (4,026 m), which is greater than that of K2, the world's second-tallest mountain, at 13,189 ft (4,020 m)." Wiki
Rainier's contour line (base) is therefore at 1210 feet above sea level. The Mountain rises an impressive 13200 feet from it's base.
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!

The lake is located in a glacial cirque which was probably last occupied by glacial ice about 13,000 years ago during the Canyon Creek advance of the Cabot Creek glaciation. The outlet stream from the lake is Todd Creek which flows into lavas from the Mt. Bachelor Volcanic Chain.
The lake is the first of many alpine lakes accessed from the Cascade Lakes Highway west of Mount Bachelor. At 6,150 feet, it is also the highest. Lying near the base of Broken Top mountain a half-mile off the highway, the 45-acre lake is encircled by alpine meadows and fir forests and is dominated by spectacular views of Broken Top and Mount Bachelor.
This area closes to traffic in the winter. Although I suspect snowmobiles find their way into the area at times.

Mount Vesuvius
is a somma-stratovolcano located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km (5.6 mi) east of Naples and a short distance from the shore.
It is one of several volcanoes which form the Campanian volcanic arc.
Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera caused by the collapse of an earlier and originally much higher structure.

Avebury henge and stone circles are one of the greatest marvels of prehistoric Britain. Built and much altered during the Neolithic period, roughly between 2850 BC and 2200 BC, the henge survives as a huge circular bank and ditch, encircling an area that includes part of Avebury village. Within the henge is the largest stone circle in Britain - originally of about 100 stones - which in turn encloses two smaller stone circles.
Avebury is part of an extraordinary set of Neolithic and Bronze Age ceremonial sites that seemingly formed a vast sacred landscape. They include West Kennet Avenue, West Kennet Long Barrow, The Sanctuary, Windmill Hill, and the mysterious Silbury Hill. Many can be reached on foot from the village. The Alexander Keiller Museum also displays many notable finds from the Avebury monuments. Together with Stonehenge, Avebury and its surroundings are a World Heritage Site.
Enough of all this dreamery. This is how it's really looking here at the moment (even if this photo isn't up to date). As I wrote already, it is cold, dull and wet. When You are stuck in the middle of that and it stays for weeks, it is dampen the mood a lot.
It is fascinating to see, how much things are changing with a some distance (here from the top of mt. Lilienstein in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains). Suddenly it is looking mystical and facinating.
I'm sure, there is something we can learn for life from this. How about that ?:
When you're stuck in the middle of a crisis and You can hardly see where it's going. Stop searching in the fog. Try to gain distance (with time and preferably with support) and look at the problem from a distant point of view. Get an overview, make a plan and I'm sure that you will find your way.
Schluß mit der Träumerei. So sieht’s zur Zeit in Wirklichkeit hier aus (auch wenn das Foto nicht aktuell ist). Wie ich schon geschrieben habe ist es kalt, trüb und nass. Wenn man da mittendrin steckt, und das über mehrere Wochen, drückt das schon ganz schön auf die Stimmung.
Es ist beeindruckend, wie sehr sich das mit etwas Abstand verändert (hier vom Gipfel des Lilienstein im Elbsandsteingebirge). Plötzlich ist der Anblick mystisch und faszinierend.
Daraus lässt sich doch bestimmt wieder was fürs Leben lernen. Wie wäre es damit ?:
Wenn du Mitten in einer Krise steckst, und kaum noch sehen kannst wo die hin läufst. Höre auf im Nebel zu suchen. Versuche Abstand zu gewinnen (mit Zeit und am Besten mit Unterstützung) und betrachte das Problem aus der Distanz. Verschaffe dir einen Überblick, mache einen Plan und ich bin sicher, dass du Deinen Weg finden wirst.

Buachaille Etive Mòr (/ˈbuəxeɪl ˈɛtɪv ˈmɔːr/),[3] Scottish Gaelic: Buachaille Èite Mòr,[4] 'great herdsman of Etive'), also known simply as 'The Buachaille', is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its pyramidal shape, as seen from the northeast, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, and one of the most depicted on postcards and calendars.
Buachaille Etive Mòr is a large ridge nearly five miles (8 km) long, almost entirely encircled by the River Etive and its tributary the River Coupall. The ridge contains four main peaks: from north-east to south-west these are Stob Dearg (1021.4 m), Stob na Doire (1011 m), Stob Coire Altruim (941 m) and Stob na Bròige (956 m). Stob Dearg and Stob na Bròige are both Munros; the latter was promoted to Munro status by the Scottish Mountaineering Club in 1997.[5] To the west is the smaller ridge, Buachaille Etive Beag.

Dubrovnik is a city in southern Croatia fronting the Adriatic Sea. It's known for its distinctive Old Town, encircled with massive stone walls completed in the 16th century. Its well-preserved buildings range from baroque St. Blaise Church to Renaissance Sponza Palace and Gothic Rector’s Palace, now a history museum. Paved with limestone, the pedestrianized Stradun (or Placa) is lined with shops and restaurants.

The Legislative Building houses the chambers of the Washington State Legislature and offices of several elected officials. This building is the dominant feature of the capitol grounds, with its dome 287 feet (87 m) high, making it the tallest self-supporting masonry dome in the United States, and fifth tallest in the world, surpassed only by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, St. Paul's Cathedral in London, Global Vipassana Pagoda in Mumbai, and Santa Maria Del Fiore in Florence.[6] A number of features in the structure commemorating Washington's addition to the Union as the 42nd state—42 steps lead to the building's North entrance and one of the four 42-star flags owned by the state is displayed in the State Reception Room. Flags with this number of stars were never official because of the admission of Idaho shortly after Washington.[7]
The building has a rectangular footprint and is constructed of brick and concrete and faced on the exterior with sandstone quarried from Wilkeson, Washington. The structure consists of four floors with the dome at the center that reaches a height of 287 ft (87 m) on the exterior and 175 ft (53 m) from the floor.[6] The first floor is within the raised base and houses offices. The second and third floors are surrounded by Doric columns and capped with a cornice that encircles the building. The fourth floor is covered with a gabled roof that is situated behind the cornice on the third floor. On the north facade, the entrance is in a portico framed by eight Corinthian columns reached by 42 granite steps. A similar portico is on the south facade but it covers a vehicle ramp to the lower level instead of steps. The dome is surrounded by four small sandstone domes and capped by a lantern and lightning rod. The floors and many interior walls are covered by Alaskan marble and marble from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy are used in other parts of the interior.[7]
NOTE: Our tour guide is a good friend of the assistant of State of Secretary, so, we got a personal tour of this impressive capitol by him; we even got a "State Seal" at such. Because the Secretary of State has a Japanese heritage, I got a chance to read a painting owned by him, as I can read the Chinese characters in it. In Japanese language, you'd see some Chinese characters adopted by the nation.
Hailed as Australia’s Grand Canyon, Capertee Valley is geology on a very grand scale. Much like Arizona’s Grand Canyon, Capertee Valley’s sandstone cliffs plunge hundreds of metres and encircle the valley for kilometres upon breathtaking kilometres. However, unlike the Grand Canyon, which sits at a width of 29 kilometres, Capertee Valley is an impressive 30 kilometres wide. Could it be the largest canyon in the world? Sadly, no, as Capertee isn’t as long or deep as the Grand Canyon, but we’ll happily accept the largest canyon in Australia and second-largest canyon in the world titles!
To visit the largest canyon in Australia is certainly a bucket list item for adventurous families. Aside from the spectacular views and sensational rock formations the valley offers, Capertee is home to a wide variety of bird and animal life, has plenty of bushwalking tracks for all fitness levels, is great for family camping, and is also the site of the former mining town, Glen Davis. (ellaslist.com.au)
The valley is classified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because it is the most important breeding site for the endangered regent honeyeater. It also supports populations of the painted honeyeater, rockwarbler, swift parrot, plum-headed finch and diamond firetail.
In the US published book Fifty Places to Go Birding Before You Die, author Chris Santella lists Capertee Valley as one of only two locations in Australia selected in his top 50 world bird watching locations. (Wikipedia)
-------------
This is the view from "birdwatching site #1". We didn't go into the valley, but we didn't have to. The birds, including the beautiful gang-gang cockatoo, came to us in the parking area. There had been heavy rain in the area for the last few days and we could not reach one area because the road was completely flooded. Luckily, we experienced only light drizzle for most of the day.

A very atmospheric sunset captured near the summit of Meal Fell in the northern Lake District, looking out towards the small lake of Over Water in the shadow of Binsey hill.
Meal Fell is quite a secretive summit as it is tucked closely within many taller hills - therefore it is not noticeably visible from many viewpoints except those within close proximity; and when viewed from a distance it blends into the higher contours encircling it. In his guidebooks for the Lake District, author Mark Richards describes Meal Fell as a 'hideaway height' and goes on to say: 'here you can imagine yourself far removed from life's turmoil - a timeless air pervades the setting, and only vapour trails in the sky give a clue to a global world of travel and travail'.
Even though the view inland is limited by the surrounding uplands, the summit itself is a rather exhilarating place to stand. The prospect north and west from the top is truly breathtaking with far-reaching views out towards the Solway Firth and distant Scotland; certainly making up for the limited views in other directions. There is also a substantial shelter on the summit which provides respite from the prevailing westerly winds which often preside here.
The wind was certainly strong on this occasion, but it was definitely worth braving for this sublime sunset light. The hill of Binsey, which is the northernmost of the Wainwright summits within the National Park, can be seen silhouetted above the small lake of Over Water. The large rocks provided some perfect foreground interest on an otherwise featureless slope descending steeply from the summit down to the source of the River Ellen.
Since the pre-Roman period, a fortified settlement has existed on the hill where Carcassonne now stands. In its present form it is an outstanding example of a medieval fortified town, with its massive defences encircling the castle and the surrounding buildings, its streets and its fine Gothic cathedral. Carcassonne is also of exceptional importance because of the lengthy restoration campaign undertaken by Viollet-le-Duc, one of the founders of the modern science of conservation
White Pelicans
I didn't realize White Pelicans were herders until i watched them do it - they gather in the water (about 20 of them) in a straight line - shoulder to shoulder - they then began to stir the water in front of them, driving any fish near the surface forward of their movement - then the ends of the line (to the right and left) began to move faster than those in the middle and they began to close the line and eventually formed a circle, trapping the fish - then they all starting eating - in this photo the are getting close to encircling the fish.

Egyptian Goose - Alopochen Aegyptiacus
Once common along the entire Nile valley and regarded as sacred in ancient times, the Egyptian Goose is no longer an easy bird to see in the country from which it takes its name, as it is largely confined to upper Egypt. It is, however, widespread and common throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with introduced populations firmly established in England, Holland, Belgium and France. Concerns over conflict with native species has led to restrictions on keeping them in Britain and Europe.
This distinctive small goose is a member of the shelduck family. In the wild it is invariably found in pairs or family parties, while flocks of 50 or more can be found after the breeding season. The sexes are similar: both have a conspicuous chestnut patch encircling the eyes, giving them a somewhat piratical appearance, while the brilliant white forewing is obvious when they fly.
The UK Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order 2019 came into force on Sunday 1st December. The Order implements requirements contained in EU Regulation 1143/2014 on Invasive Alien Species, which sets out rules to prevent and minimise the impact of the introduction and spread of non-native animals and plants across the EU. The Order makes it an offence, amongst other things, to import, keep, sell, transport, breed or release into the environment, any of the listed plants and animals. Invasive alien waterfowl currently covered by this Order are Egyptian Geese and Ruddy Ducks Oxyura jamaicensis.
The expectant looks on the faces of these two chicks as they search for signs that mum has food to give them.
Each chick has a dot of white near the tip of their beak and it was fun watching them walking quickly across the lily pads to get to the food bought to them.
It is interesting how the tip of mum's open beak has cast its shadow on the lily pad located immediately behind her and the first chic.
I spent over an hour photographing these coots and watching mum and dad foraging for food. Every now and again dad would wander off, up or down the river attending to perimeter defense.
As adults, [all] coots have a drab color scheme, with black bodies and white bills. Their chicks, however, have an aesthetic that’s part drunk friar, part disheveled lion, and part tequila sunrise. Their faces and bald pates are bright red, while their necks are encircled in scruffy yellow-orange plumes - extract from an article by Ed Yong, "The Survival Advantage of Being a Fancy Baby Coot" printed in 'The Atlantic', date unknown

The major art installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London, marked one hundred years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War. Created by artists Paul Cummins and Tom Piper, 888,246 ceramic poppies progressively filled the Tower's famous moat between 17 July and 11 November 2014. Each poppy represented a British military fatality during the war. The poppies encircled the iconic landmark, creating not only a spectacular display visible from all around the Tower but also a location for personal reflection. The scale of the installation was intended to reflect the magnitude of such an important centenary and create a powerful visual commemoration.
