Something different to reflect a very different presidential primary in the US this year. As a political science major in college and one who has closely watched politics for 50 years, there has never been anything quite like this...on both sides. And with all the hoop-la, there is one thing that both sides better recognize. Like it or not, a very large percentage of THE PEOPLE are speaking out against the entirety of the political establishment and the "herd."

Lulworth is considered to be one of the most perfectly shaped coves in the World.Its shaped like a Scallop shell. Clays and sands formed the front of the cove which eroded over time allowing the sea to carve out its wonderful shape. The area along the shoreline is formed from Portland Stone, from which cement is made. lots of historic buildings world wide were built from the stone, and it is extremely tough stopping further erosion inward though the cove is widening and the cliffs on the west side are in a dangerous condition. The waves enter the cove radiating out in a circular direction as can be seen in the photo and its this that creates the perfectly symmetrical shape.
It is part of the Jurassic coast and is a World heritage site visited by over a half a million people each year.
I loved the place as it was a real working harbour with proper fishing boats and fishermen mending their nets and getting their boats ready for the morning. The little town is totally unspoiled and I found it charming!
Most photos of Lulworth show the complete shell shape of the cove but they have all been taken from the air as its impossible to view it in its entirety, any other way.
I suppose this photo is a bit more unusual as its not the normal touristy snap which Im not a fan of. I did have to post process it quite a bit as the light was almost gone.Its the best I could do and Ill just leave it as it is.
Its a great place to visit so do go there! Ill certainly be back next year and you could meet me.
I hope you may like my effort and I welcome your input etc.
Hope your week ahead is as special as you are to Flickr.
Thank you,
Pat.

A view of the morning's light shining on Lone Pine Peak from under Lathe Arch in the Alabama Hills.
Lathe Arch is a small 5 foot wide arch about knee high when viewed from the west side and has a substantial drop to the east side making a composition from there somewhat difficult to place a tripod. When you do get set up a wide angle lens would be the wisest choice to get the entirety of the arch in view to help enlarge it's presence in your capture. :)

This is more of a rant than a description, but if you use Lightroom you may want to read this in it’s entirety.
I have spent a lot of time processing thousands of photos in Lightroom and found myself in quite a pickle last week.
There is an option in the catalog setting that allows you to embed your develop settings into your Jpeg, Tif, Png and Psd files. Unfortunatley, this option doesn’t work!!!! As plain as the wording is, this option is faulty. Here’s what happened. When I went to copy my files to my Lightroom drive I found that there wasn’t enough space on the drive. So I copied the files to my desktop and I processed 25 photos from my last trip to Escalante. Later I cleared some of my older trips files to my backup drive and then copied this new trips files to the Lightroom drive. I opened Lightroom and assigned the location to the Lightroom drive, then when I relaunched Lightroom to my dismay all of my develop edits where lost. After spending several hours on the phone with Adobe tech support, I was told that the function didn’t work because I have an older version(5)of Lightroom and that I would need to update Lightroom for the function to work properly. What a cop out!!! Why would I need to update my LR? didn’t the function work when it was released. If it wasn’t, why did Adobe release it to the public. It’s simply deplorable that a function this important was overlooked upon release!!!!! SHAME ON YOU ADOBE!!!!!!!!!
OK, I feel better now. Haha :)
Luckily there is a workaround that has taken me about a week to fix. You can right click a folder in the Lightroom library and select save metadata, which is what the option in the catalog settings is supposed to do. There is another option that says “Automatically write metadata to XMP” which creates a sidecar file that rides along with the original RAW file. I suggest that if you use Lightroom, you should select this option which for some reason is off by default. This process is quite time consuming especially when you have 200,000 photos to update.
I have written this commentary In hopes that this doesn’t happened to you. ;-(
OK, Now, on to the "Tale of the Take" ☜ Coined by Phil Kuntz. Thanks Phil. You da man. :)
This is a shot taken at Dance Hall Rock. Bill and I really wanted to see the pothole with the cottonwood tree growing out of it, and timed it so that the tree would be peaking with fall color. We were a little too late for full fall color and after spending an hour and a half combing the area we were unable to locate the exact spot. We did however find some other interesting spots and planned to return later that night to shoot the Milky Way over it. That night the sky clouded over and we had to abandon our plan for a cool nightscape here, we did however find a couple of other cool potholes. :(

The Jaswant Thada is an architectural landmark located in Jodhpur. It is a white marble memorial built by Maharaja Sardar Singh of Jodhpur State in 1899 in memory of his father, Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.
The monument, in its entirety, is built out of intricately carved sheets of marble. These stones are extremely thin and polished so that they emit a warm glow when the sun's rays dance across their surface.
Within this cenotaph, there are also two more tombs. The Jaswant Thada is a traditional cremation ground of Jodhpur rulers. The grounds also include exquisitely carved gazebos, a beautiful mulch-tiered garden, and a small lake.
To the left of the Mehrangarh Fort complex is the Jaswant Thada of Jodhpur, Rajasthan. It is a 19th-century royal cenotaph built in commemoration of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, the 33rd Rathore ruler of Jodhpur. The son of Maharaja Jaswant Singh, Maharaja Sardar Singh, in the memory of his father, built the Jaswant Thada. The cenotaph has two more tombs within it. Near to this are the royal crematorium and three other cenotaphs.
Famous Jaswant Thada in Jodhpur, India is an example of architectural brilliance in India. It is a white marble memorial, built out of intricately carved sheets of marble. The carving shows the genius of the sculptors. These stones are extremely thin and polished. As a result, the outside surface of the monument emits a warm glow when the sunrays fall on its surface. There is also beautiful marble jali work on the cenotaph. You can have some nice views from the terrace in front of the cenotaph.
The cenotaph of Maharaja Jaswant Singh displays portraits of the rulers and Maharajas of Jodhpur. The main memorial has been built like a temple. To visit the Thada you have to go through the rocky hills. This also lends a mystic aura to the whole visit.
Each time dawn appears , the mystery is there in its entirety .

Swans are generally found in temperate environments, rarely occurring in the tropics. A group of swans is called a bevy or a wedge in flight. Four (or five) species occur in the Northern Hemisphere, one species is found in Australia, one extinct species was found in New Zealand and the Chatham Islands, and one species is distributed in southern South America. They are absent from tropical Asia, Central America, northern South America and the entirety of Africa. One species, the mute swan, has been introduced to North America, Australia and New Zealand.
Several species are migratory, either wholly or partly so. The mute swan is a partial migrant, being resident over areas of Western Europe but wholly migratory in Eastern Europe and Asia. The whooper swan and tundra swan are wholly migratory, and the trumpeter swans are almost entirely migratory. There is some evidence that the black-necked swan is migratory over part of its range, but detailed studies have not established whether these movements are long or short range migration.

The Pitstone Windmill as dusk falls with the mysterious and ancient Ivinghoe Beacon. This is where the historic Ridgeway Path, starts its journey.
The windmill has stood here since 1627 and it closed in 1894 after it was badly damaged in a storm. It was restored by a group of enthusiast`s and is now full operational and open to the public.
The Ridgeway path follows the high ground across the Chilterns for 87miles and ends at Avebury [ famous for its standing stones ] in Wiltshire. The path has been in use since the Neolithic period by early man as it was safer to travel across the hills than down in the valleys because of the impenetrable forests and danger of attack by wild animals. It has been used from medieval times right up to the 50s by travelling tradesmen [ journeymen ] and travelling sales men [peddlers] carrying their goods to the various markets in the many villages that it passes through. Its a haven for wildlife including butterflies as well as the flowers that grow on the rich chalk grassland and it was originally part of a deep lagoon off the coast of west Africa before the tutonic plates shifted millions of years ago.
There are many megalithic features on the Ridgeway including Bronze age Long Barrows { Graves } Iron age Hill Forts and Standing Stones.
An amazing place, I have walked sections of it. I hope to walk it in its entirety next year as long as my legs, and me can hold out that long!!!
Do hope you will like my pic and give us a quick Fave if you do! Its what your index fingers for....... mostly!!!!
Have a good week ahead!

Long tailed Duck (M) - Clangula Hyemalis
Immature Male.
The Long-tailed Duck is one of the deepest diving ducks, and can dive as deep as 60 meters (200 feet) to forage.
Of all diving ducks, the Long-tailed Duck spends the most time under water relative to time on the surface. When it is foraging it is submerged three to four times as much as it is on top of the water.
Unlike most ducks, which molt twice per year, the Long-tailed Duck has three distinct plumages each year, achieved in a complex series of overlapping partial molts. The Definitive Basic Plumage is never worn in its entirety, as portions of Alternate are retained through the summer and elements of the Supplemental are acquired before all of Basic Plumage is obtained. Therefore change in plumage seems continuous from April to October.
Unlike other waterfowl, the Long-tailed Duck wears its "breeding" or Alternate Plumage only in the winter. It gets its "nonbreeding" or Basic Plumage in the spring and wears it for the breeding season. Most other ducks wear the nonbreeding plumage only for a short period in the late summer.
The oldest recorded Long-tailed Duck was a female, and at least 17 years, 1 month old when she was found in Alaska, the same state where she had been banded.

#MacroMondays
#Broken
What looks like a crack on a stick, a weird lollipop of sorts, actually is the broken-off tip of a small decorative pyramid made of crystal glass. I clumsily dropped it ages ago while doing some dusting (which apparently is one of the more hazardous activities of house cleaning). I was mad at myself because of it but then talked myself into it that the mishap turned a run-of-the-mill glass pyramid into something with character, a soul even. Why a soul? Well, thanks to the pyramid's faceted polish and highly reflective colour coating (which also screams macro dust) the crack is reflected (and also tripled) inside of the pyramid where it looks like a small burst, or something with wings, or a hidden energy chamber. Whatever ;)
This image also is kind of a personal "breakthrough" because I've tried to photograph this pyramid and its crack numerous times before for different MM themes, and was never happy with the results. My last attempt was for our recent "Blue" theme. I'd tried to focus on the reflected "inside crack", but I thought the crack was by no means sharp enough in the final image, so I decided to skip "Blue" (only to realise now that it was sharp enough when I looked at the image again yesterday, but that's the problem with a photo taken on Monday afternoon, in the end, I often don't see the forest for the trees). This time, what makes the image work, I think, is the fact that I arranged the pyramid in different positions other than just standing upright. For this (single) photo I laid the pyramid on a small blue glass jar and focused on the crack only. Lights used were two plain white LED lights from the sides and a handheld flashlight (spot) on the crack. The colours are partly reflected from blue and turquoise foam sheets I'd placed at the sides of the subject (also as a sun shield) but also come from the pyramid itself which is mainly orange with a hint of purple and a blue tip. The backdrop is black cardboard.
Size info: The crack on the pyramid's tip is 7 mm / 0,27 inches long. The whole pyramid is 4 cm / 1,57 (stand space) X 4,5 cm / 1,77 inches (length of each side), so I could even photograph (and probably will) it in its entirety for a future MM theme. What looks like a stick inside of the pyramid actually is one of the pyramid's edges.
HMM, Everyone! (I'll catch up with you tonight!)
The Winterslag coalmine near the Belgian city of Genk is the oldest mine in the province of Limburg, which started production in 1917.
This mine had a very bad reputation for safety at the start of production and as a result many fatal accidents have occurred.
When the mine closed in 1988, 66.593.000 tons of coal had been mined at depths up to 850 meters.
Every day 6.250 miners were rushed down and up through this shaft towers, as well as the mined coal with a speed from 12 meters per second.
The elevator cars and arm-thick steel cables have been removed and the shaft mouth is closed with a thick concrete plug.
The shaft building and its tower will be included in its entirety in the "C- mine" cultural centre in the city of Genk.
When we go somewhere new, whether in RL or SL we can choose to look at the place in its entirety or focus on the little things, the details. Sometimes I like to do this, and I find beauty in the most unexpected of places...
Emerald Damselfly
Also known as the spreadwing as it belongs to a group of damsels which mostly perch with their wings open like a true dragonfly, rather than held closed along the length of the abdomen like most other damsels.
Their metallic green casings make them unlikely to be confused with any other species (in our region at least), the only other metallic green damsel being the female Banded Demoiselle, but colour is the only thing they have in common, the demoiselles are obviously bigger, longer legged, are green in their entirety and the wings are very large in comparison and tinted green, plus they are usually only found on rivers, emeralds very rarely are.
The last of the damsels to emerge, they aren't usually seen until July, and will be the only damsel remaining in late season, lasting through September.
“John knew the best love stories were the ones that were never told. For no medium—no book, no poem, no play or movie—could ever tell a love story in its entirety, its full span and depth, from the exhilarating beginning to the tragic ending of all love stories. He didn’t mind if his life was forgotten—it had never occurred to him to want to be remembered—as long as he had truly lived, and to live life without experiencing one great love story was to not live at all.”

Clouds and light, with a storm and rain, near sunset, Zion National Park. The rock mountains are actually extremely large, but since this is a wide angle capture they appear relatively small. I wanted to capture the entirety of the sky and mountains with the white accented cloud formations and lighting on the mountain tops.

Westfriedhof (West Cemetery) subway station in Munich, Germany has been an object of my fascination for years; it may well be one of the most beautiful underground stations in the world, for me it certainly is.

We made our way around the entirety of Iceland as long as possible along the coastal roads and have thus crossed uncountable fjords, sea straits and rivers via bridges and course ways of all sorts of design. This crossing here on the Westfjords near Siglufjordur was certainly one of the most beautiful combining several bridges and courseways.
Antelope Island, in its entirety a Utah State park, is a gift to the photographer, artist, or naturalist.
It is situated in the midst of the Great Salt Lake, with mountains of great geologic antiquity, with striking views of the varied contours of the Great Basin, with uncommon native wildlife, and in the midst of the great flyways of the American West. Where to begin?
Here, new spring greens defy the semi-arid climate contrasting with ancient rock, hoping for a wisp of distant rain to happen by.
You won't really know what's on the other side until you cross over.
Through no fault of my own, Hehe, I found myself along the coast in Northern California, looking for a famed seastack. Following a trail along the cliffs, it broke down into a small ravine with this bridge crossing a stream. A troll lives under the bridge on the right. LOL. :)
I usually process my photos to look like the original scene with just a little extra for the "Wow" factor, but I drove about 1500 miles and ended up with rain almost the entirety of the trip, so my yield was low for the trip so I took a few of the shots and really threw some photoshop at them hoping to get some return on my investment, so I "crossed over" and let the right side of my brain take control, Haha. :)
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead my friends!! :)

WESTHOEK - Friesland - The Wadden Sea (UNESCO) – unique in the world! The Wadden Sea stretches along the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark and is an unequalled dynamic landscape. Nowhere in the world will you find such an expansive and varied area created under the influence of ebb and flood, where changes are noticeable daily. An extensive system of large and small channels alternates with sand flats which are exposed at low tide. The Dutch and German Wadden Sea has been a World Heritage site since 2009. In 2014, the Danish part was added, which means the Wadden Sea is now a World Heritage site in its entirety.
Tumon Bay is a bay in the United States territory of Guam, opening to the Philippine Sea. It is bounded to the north by Two Lovers Point and to the south by Ypao Point. The entirety of the bay falls within the Tumon Bay Marine Preserve, also known as the Tumon Bay Marine Preserve Area (MPA) and Tumon Preserve, one of five marine preserves on Guam. The Preserve measures 4.54 square kilometers and is roughly two miles long. The platform of the fringing reef that separates the open ocean from the lagoon is up to 1,450 feet (440 m) wide. and up to one mile from the shore. The bay is located off of the Tumon area, the tourist center of the island, in the village of Tamuning. The bay is extensively utilized for recreation and fishing.

In December 2013, I visited the Dormant Volcano Haleakala on Maui, HI. I didn't have a lens that would capture the entirety of the caldera. Lately, I took up the project of stitching together several shots which I hope capture the wonder of this amazing place.
Haleakalā (/ˌhɑːliˌɑːkəˈlɑː/; Hawaiian: [ˈhɐlɛˈjɐkəˈlaː]), or the East Maui Volcano, is a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The western 25% of the island is formed by another volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, also referred to as the West Maui Mountains.
The tallest peak of Haleakalā ("house of the sun"), at 10,023 feet (3,055 m), is Puʻu ʻUlaʻula (Red Hill). From the summit one looks down into a massive depression some 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep. The surrounding walls are steep and the interior mostly barren-looking with a scattering of volcanic cones. (information courtesy of Wikipedia)

I recently visited Maui again and felt as if I needed to get this image developed. I am reasonably happy with the outcome.
A species that in my limited experience tends to perch with its wings slightly raised at the tips, making it difficult to achieve sharp focus across the entirety of the subject whilst also isolating it from the backdrop. The low sun further complicated matters on this occasion, as whenever I got the camera at right angles to the plane of focus, I created a shadow. So this is a compromise of aperture and point of view, but the stunning upper-wing of this species catching the warm evening light makes up for the technical flaws.

In St. Peter's Square in Vatican City with morning sun and shadow. Michelangelo's famous dome can't be seen from this perspective, but then it can't be seen in it's entirety from any spot at ground level. To increase the grandeur of the basilica, its walls were expanded and raised after Michelangelo's death in 1564, thus blocking the view of lower dome surfaces. (It's a good thing our tour guide knew this tidbit, and all I have to do is repeat it here.)

Frank Owen Gehry, CC, FAIA (/ˈɡɛəri/; né Goldberg; born February 28, 1929) is a Canadian-born American architect and designer. A number of his buildings, including his private residence in Santa Monica, California, have become world-renowned attractions.
His works are considered among the most important of contemporary architecture in the 2010 World Architecture Survey, leading Vanity Fair to call him "the most important architect of our age".[2] He is also the designer of the National Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial.[3]
Note: This museum has many facets, only if you could see it in entirety.
A storm brews over this rugged lower southeastern section of Alberta's massive Mt. Wilson as seen from the David Thompson Highway.
Mt. Wilson stands 10700 ft tall (3260 m) but is HUGE covering 37 miles or 60 km.
Mount Wilson is located off of the Columbia Icefield Parkway just north of the Saskatchewan River crossing in Banff National Park, one of four connecting national parks making up the central Canadian Rockies. Mount Wilson was officially named in 1898 by Norman Collie after Tom Wilson, an early explorer in the Canadian Rockies. Mount Wilson is directly across from the Lyell Icefield which affords you some incredible views of this remote section of the park. Mount Wilson has its own icefield aptly named the Wilson Icefield that can be seen in its entirety from the David Thompson Highway 6 miles east of the Columbia Icefields Parkway.
Thanks for taking peek! Always appreciated.

Con un espectacular doble salto de agua, Gullfoss es la catarata más famosa de Islandia y el lugar más destacado e imponente del Círculo de Oro. La espectacular cascada de Gullfoss la conforman dos caídas de agua. La primera de ellas, la situada en la parte superior, cae desde los 11 metros. Aguas abajo se localiza la segunda caída de agua que alcanza un desnivel de 21 metros. Aun sin ser la más alta, grande o hermosa del país, la cascada Gullfoss es una de las más impresionantes de Islandia. Esta cascada está a menos de 1 hora de Reykjavík y por eso es la más visitada del país. Las sensaciones que tienes cuando ves esta bestialidad de saltos de agua son indescriptibles. Solamente con el ruido que produce el agua te vuelves loco de alegría y luego hay varios puntos para poder verla en su totalidad y la gran caida de 70 metros que tiene, que parece que vaya al centro de la tierra. Si estais muy atentos a lo mejor podeis escuchar el agua caer y os viene vapor de agua por la cara.
With a spectacular double waterfall, Gullfoss is the most famous waterfall in Iceland and the most prominent and imposing place in the Golden Circle. The spectacular Gullfoss waterfall is made up of two waterfalls. The first of them, the one located at the top, falls from 11 meters. Downstream, the second waterfall is located, reaching a drop of 21 meters. Although not the tallest, largest or most beautiful in the country, the Gullfoss waterfall is one of the most impressive in Iceland. This waterfall is less than 1 hour from Reykjavík and that is why it is the most visited in the country. The sensations you have when you see this bestiality of waterfalls are indescribable. Only with the noise produced by the water you go crazy with joy and then there are several points to see it in its entirety and the great fall of 70 meters that it has, which seems to go to the center of the earth. If you are very attentive, you may be able to hear the water fall and steam comes from your face.
Amb un espectacular doble salt d'aigua, Gullfoss és la cataracta més famosa d'Islàndia i el lloc més destacat i imponent de l'Cercle d'Or. L'espectacular cascada de Gullfoss la conformen dues caigudes d'aigua. La primera d'elles, la situada a la part superior, cau des dels 11 metres. Aigües avall es localitza la segona caiguda d'aigua que arriba a un desnivell de 21 metres. Fins i tot sense ser la més alta, gran o bella de país, la cascada Gullfoss és una de les més impressionants d'Islàndia. Aquesta cascada està a menys d'1 hora de Reykjavík i per això és la més visitada de país. Les sensacions que tens quan veus aquesta bestialitat de salts d'aigua són indescriptibles. Solament amb el soroll que produeix l'aigua et tornes boig d'alegria i després hi ha diversos punts per veure-la en la seva totalitat i la gran caiguda de 70 metres que té, que sembla que vagi a centre de la terra. Si esteu molt atents al que millor podeu escoltar l'aigua caure i us ve vapor d'aigua per la cara.
ZWARTE HAAN, Friesland - The Wadden Sea (UNESCO) – unique in the world! The Wadden Sea stretches along the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark and is an unequalled dynamic landscape. Nowhere in the world will you find such an expansive and varied area created under the influence of ebb and flood, where changes are noticeable daily. An extensive system of large and small channels alternates with sand flats which are exposed at low tide. The Dutch and German Wadden Sea has been a World Heritage site since 2009. In 2014, the Danish part was added, which means the Wadden Sea is now a World Heritage site in its entirety.

Since I was not able to hike this weekend and the weather is stormy today, I thought I would post a sunset from a couple months ago.
[**Note: I did not enhance or change the colors in these photos at all - everything really was pink!]
As someone who has been obsessed with sunsets since I was a child, I have watched some untold number of them over the years, and photographed many. But once in awhile there still comes a sunset that is like nothing I have seen before. This remarkable evening in Cannon Beach this summer was one of those.
As mentioned in the previously posted “Golden Gift”, the last day there was foggy and I wasn’t sure if there would be a sunset to see, but late in the afternoon some rays of sunshine broke through the clouds and turned everything to gold.
The clouds returned after that golden moment, but as it approached the time for sunset, something extraordinary happened. The sun turned pink! And then the sky and waves did too. I was completely transfixed by the jaw-dropping sight of it all. It was so striking that I’m posting multiple images because it feels like the only way to really convey the entirety of the moment.
And like the physical light of a sublime sunset that suddenly bursts through the clouds, sometimes a similar metaphorical light appears in one’s life. Perchance in the form of an unexpected friendship that one didn’t know was needed, but has now become a cherished gift. A friendship that illuminates the shadows to which one had grown so accustomed that their presence was no longer noticed. As one’s eyes adjust to the dark when light fades and dusk falls, so it happens with life as well. Until a friend, perhaps unknowingly on their part, extends the steady glow of warmth and light that sparks a heartfelt song of luminescent joy.
So this post is dedicated, with much gratitude, to that special glow of incandescent friends :-)
Today I want to bring you all back to august 2017, when I visited Rhossili, in Wales, UK.
Still of today, I haven't found yet a place as stunning as this one is. Wish to go back there in the near future! And if you're planning to visit Wales, for as beautiful as it is in its entirety, I strongly suggest you to go there.
You can follow me on Instagram if you want! I'll follow you back :) you can find me as gggiuliac (www.instagram.com/gggiuliac/?hl=it)

The "Corral de Comedias de Almagro" is located in the Plaza Mayor of this city of La Mancha.
Declared a National Monument on March 4, 1955, it maintains the original structure of the 17th-century comedy Corrals, probably due to the continuity of its use as an inn.
It is the only example of theater of this kind preserved in its entirety; that occurred both in seventeenth-century Spain and in the England of Elizabethan theater.
Following the popularity of the Almagro Classical Theater Festival and the Corral de Comedias, in 1994 the National Theater Museum was installed in Almagro, where the history and evolution of theater in Spain meets.

El Corral de Comedias de Almagro está ubicado en la Plaza Mayor de esta ciudad de La Mancha.
Declarado Monumento Nacional el 4 de marzo de 1955, mantiene la estructura original de la comedia del siglo XVII Corrales, probablemente debido a la continuidad de su uso como posada.
Es el único ejemplo de teatro de este tipo conservado en su totalidad; eso ocurrió tanto en la España del siglo XVII como en la Inglaterra del teatro isabelino.
Tras la popularidad del Festival de Teatro Clásico de Almagro y el Corral de Comedias, en 1994 se instaló el Museo Nacional de Teatro en Almagro, donde se encuentra la historia y la evolución del teatro en España.
The Cathedral in Seville stands alone rather than being placed in the centre of a mosque and is all the better for it. The cathedral is vast and impossible to photograph in its entirety this is a section of the North side of the building . In the background you can see the tall Giralda tower that dominates the Seville skyline
The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Seville, It was registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, along with the adjoining Alcázar palace complex It is one of the largest churches in the world as well as the largest Gothic church.
After its completion in the early 16th century, Seville Cathedral supplanted Hagia Sophia as the largest cathedral in the world, a title the Byzantine church had held for a thousand years.The Gothic section alone has a length of 126 m , a width of 76 m , and its maximum height in the centre of the transept is 42 m The total height of the Giralda tower from the ground to the weather vane is 104.5 m

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

The Wadden Sea (UNESCO) – unique in the world! The Wadden Sea stretches along the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark and is an unequalled dynamic landscape. It consists of mussel beds, sandbars, mudflats, salt marshes, estuaries, beaches and dunes and the occasional sea-grass meadows. The Wadden Sea is an indispensable stopover for millions of birds per annum. It is also home to more than 10.000 often rare plant and animal species. The Dutch and German Wadden Sea has been a World Heritage site since 2009. In 2014, the Danish part was added, which means the Wadden Sea is now a World Heritage site in its entirety.

Momma bear catches a whiff of something while her two cubs continue feasting on the berries.
While on the full-day bus excursion into Denali National Park, we happened upon this grizzly sow and her two cubs bulking up on berries. Amazingly, we were also able to see a lynx observing them, not 50' from where these three were feeding. After watching for a few minutes, the sow lifted her head, probably having caught scent of the lynx and eventually rushed to where the cat was located to investigate. When the cubs followed suit, the lynx reappeared about 15' from this point.
The wildlife in Denali seem oblivious to the buses. Very little private vehicular traffic is allowed into the park beyond the 15-mile mark on the 92 mile Park Road to Kantishna (the only road in this massive six million acre National Park).
Although the weather was overcast in the morning, followed by heavy rains in the afternoon and evening, we were able to see quite a bit of wildlife in the park. Unfortunately, we were unable to see the entirety of Denali Mountain.
Albufeira do Alqueva - Monsaraz
Inserted in the Nautical Centre of Monsaraz and in the heart of the Alqueva estuary, the Monsaraz river beach has an excellent infrastructure, providing visitors with all the support they might need. With lawn and sand areas, a picnic area and a children's playground, this beach has a floating swimming pool with a children's and adults' swimming area and is ideal for enjoying various water sports.
In 2017, the Monsaraz river beach was declared the most accessible beach, which demonstrates that this is truly a beach for everyone, providing conditions that allow people with reduced mobility to also enjoy the facilities in their entirety.
