Le montagne dell'Alpago si stagliano maestose, un contrasto potente con la fragilità delle foglie che scivolano dolcemente verso terra. Il foliage autunnale colora la scena di tonalità calde, avvolgendo gli alberi in una bellezza effimera, mentre la solidità della montagna ricorda l'eternità della natura. Tra cadute e rinascite, l'autunno celebra il ciclo senza fine della vita, e la montagna, immobile, osserva.

I love the winter season. Especially the feel and sight of fresh snow turning everything white. The enduring branches and left-over leaves that take the weight of snow reminds me how nature prepares the trees during autumn season etc..I was fascinated by the man-made lamp posts. It also endured many seasons of winter ( lost one of it’s tips). If we could prepare and maintain all those that cannot endure the nature before-hand…

This image captures the serene beauty of Sable Falls, located along the North Country Trail in Grand Marais, Michigan. The photograph, taken just before noon, bathes in the gentle embrace of late spring sunlight, illuminating the cascading waters with a celestial glow. The waterfall's frothy descent over the layered sandstone reflects the geological history of the region, shaped over millennia by glacial activity and erosion.
The verdant surroundings are typical of the Upper Peninsula's rich ecosystems, with lush coniferous trees framing the falls. The interplay of light and shadow on the foliage adds depth and texture to the scene, while the crisp air of a mild day, with temperatures reaching a comfortable 77°F, enhances the mood of tranquility. The soft, blurred motion of the water contrasts with the sharp detail of the rocky ledges, creating a dynamic tension that invites contemplation.
Sable Falls is part of a landscape shaped by the ancient forces of nature, where sandstone cliffs and dense forests meet to form a tapestry of natural wonder. The surrounding area features a mix of pine, spruce, and cedar trees, contributing to the cool, shaded pathways that guide visitors through this enchanting locale. As the falls continue their timeless journey, they carve a path through the rugged terrain, a testament to the enduring power and beauty of the natural world.
PACIFIC OCEAN (March 16, 2018) Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) transits the waters near Guam en route for Pacific Partnership 2018 (PP18). PP18’s mission is to work collectively with host and partner nations to enhance regional interoperability and disaster response capabilities, increase stability and security in the region, and foster new and enduring friendships across the Indo-Pacific Region. Pacific Partnership, now in its 13th iteration, is the largest annual multinational humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Indo-Pacific.

Angkor Thom ("Great City"), located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII. It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the center of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
Angkor Thom is in the Bayon style. This manifests itself in the large scale of the construction, in the widespread use of laterite, in the face-towers at each of the entrances to the city and in the naga-carrying giant figures which accompany each of the towers.
The faces on the 23 m towers at the city gates, which are later additions to the main structure, take after those of the Bayon and pose the same problems of interpretation. They may represent the king himself, the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, guardians of the empire's cardinal points, or some combination of these. A causeway spans the moat in front of each tower: these have a row of devas on the left and asuras on the right, each row holding a naga in the attitude of a tug-of-war.

Kayla Bowers, a 74th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron A-10 Thunderbolt II pilot, looks out of the cockpit of her aircraft during the squadron’s deployment in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve at Graf Ignatievo, Bulgaria, March 18, 2016. Operation Atlantic Resolve is a demonstration of the United States’ continued commitment to the collective security of NATO and dedication to the enduring peace and stability of Europe.

My favourite tulips - they were in the garden when we bought the house 27 years ago! For Macro Monday's theme "Negative Space" - HMM
It's a rugged life up in the White Mountains ... but some of these trees are ranked among the oldest in the world, exceeding 4K years and still growing.
The only fight should be the fight of faith. Full force of enduring to the end of life.

Every groove and layer within these imposing cliffs whispers secrets from eons past. As time moved, these rocks stood witness to countless sunrises and seasons, preserving a timeline of Earth's memoirs. Nature's persistence and power are evident in the water's continuous dance at the base, carving and shaping with every pass. Overhead, the tranquil sky stands as a testament to nature's enduring harmony amidst its inherent tumult.
We could barely manage to stay outside of the car for more than 5min while taking these pictures...
Compared to these fellas, that's of course pretty pathetic 😅
This is Number 2 of 3 of old ornamental masks in eighty style that I repainted for my mum, as I said before the previous one was more traditional, the third which I am still working with is the least traditional :)
Peace and Noise!

Press 'L' for the Lightbox. Not sure if this is a bit dark, but does seem to look a touch better on black ?
One of the last shots of the day from the trip to Reculver and Herne Bay - it was getting dark, cold and very windy at this point.
Not sure I've got the best angle of the towers here, so would like to revisit at some point (maybe during the day so i can avoid the band across the bottom caused by the spotlight lighting up the towers)
Speaking of bands, I had a real problem with this shot - everytime I exported it, I had these strange ripples or bands all around the photo (think it's called posterization ?) - anyone seen something like that before and know how to deal with it ?
In the end, I had to upload this as a TIFF and let flickr convert it to jpg - very strange indeed..

- www.kevin-palmer.com - It was a very colorful sunset from my campsite east of Judith Peak. The colors lasted so long it felt like every time I put down my camera I had to pick it back up again.
Step into the vibrant heart of Tokyo's Asakusa district with the Kaminarimon Gate, the grand entrance to Senso-ji, the city's oldest and most significant Buddhist temple. This stunning landmark, ablaze with red and gold hues, stands as a testament to Japan's enduring cultural and architectural heritage. Originally constructed in 942, the gate has been rebuilt multiple times, with the current structure dating back to 1960.
Dominating the gate is the immense chochin, a red paper lantern dramatically inscribed with the characters for “thunder gate,” signifying protection and power. Flanking the lantern are fierce guardian statues: Fujin, the god of wind, and Raijin, the god of thunder. These figures are said to ward off evil spirits, a theme resonant throughout the temple's history. The lantern itself is a marvel, towering over visitors and creating a striking photo opportunity day and night.
Pass through Kaminarimon, and you're greeted by the lively Nakamise Street, a bustling corridor lined with traditional shops offering everything from handmade crafts to local street food delicacies. Beyond lies the grand Senso-ji Temple, but the gate alone captivates with its imposing presence and intricate details.
Whether illuminated under the night sky or bathed in the glow of sunrise, Kaminarimon is a sight to behold. This gateway serves as an enduring symbol of Tokyo’s spiritual and architectural legacy, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and first-time visitors alike. Pro tip: Visit after dark for a magical view, with fewer crowds and the gate’s intricate carvings beautifully highlighted.
A team of NASA-funded scientists has solved an enduring mystery from the Apollo missions to the moon – the origin of organic matter found in lunar samples returned to Earth. Samples of the lunar soil brought back by the Apollo astronauts contain low levels of organic matter in the form of amino acids. Certain amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, essential molecules used by life to build structures like hair and skin and to regulate chemical reactions.

Something shook me up and made me forget I am a Warrior Queen who isn't afraid of the battles she is destined to face. So I took a minute to remind myself and remember who I am. Don't forget who you are, you got this far. Don't give up now!
Enduring dreary days for a couple of weeks is well worth it, when you are presented with scenes like this after the rain!

Chandra X-ray Observatory teamed up with the Webb telescope to create a new stunning composite image of the Tarantula Nebula. Chandra's X-rays (shown in royal blue and purple) identify extremely hot gas and supernova explosion remnants, while Webb reveals forming baby stars.
Unlike most nebulas in our Milky Way, the Tarantula Nebula has a chemical composition similar to that of conditions in our galaxy several billion years ago — when star formation was at its peak. For astronomers, this nebula is the perfect window into how stars formed in our galaxy in the distant past.

Image description: Composite image of the Tarantula Nebula: Royal blue and purple gas clouds interact with red and orange gas clouds, as specks of light and large gleaming stars peek through. The blue and purple patches represent X-ray data from Chandra. The most striking blue cloud is shaped like an upward pointing triangle at the center. Wispy white clouds outline this blue triangle. Inside this frame is a gleaming star with six long, thin spikes. Beside it is a cluster of smaller bright blue specks showing young stars in the nebula. Darker X-ray clouds can be found near the right and left edges of the image. The red and orange gas clouds, which look like roiling fire, represent infrared data from Webb.
