Inchcolm Abbey was established as an Augustinian monastery in the twelfth century by David I, becoming an abbey in 1235. During the wars between England and Scotland, the location of Inchcolm Abbey meant that it was constantly under attack.
The island of Inchcolm Abbey continued to play a defensive role in the Napoleonic Wars and up to the Second World War. Despite its turbulent history, Inchcolm Abbey remains remarkably intact. Its thirteenth century cloisters are celebrated as some of the most well-preserved of their kind and visitors can even see a rare funereal fresco from the same period.

The gardens were established in 1927 to honor Frank Presby, a noted horticulturalist and a founding member of the American Iris Society. This world-class collection now includes approximately 10,000 individual plants, representing 6 species and over 3,000 different named varieties of irises. It is the largest non-commercial garden dedicated to irises in the world.
You may know why I photography irises so often (about 600-700 shots/a year), as they're gorgeous flowers and it's for my granddaughter's name sakes. I live about 30 minutes drive away.
Note: The 3,000 varieties of irises bloom at different times, usually begins mid-May thru early June. That's why I have to visit there 3 or 4 times in spring in order to capture so many of them.
It was established as Queen's College (in honour of Queen Victoria) in 1841, by the PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH of Canada in association with the Church of Scotland. Classes began on 7 March 1842 in a rented building with two professors and 10 students.

Initially established as a small depot at the confluence of the Bow (pronounced "boh" or "beau") & Elbow Rivers in southwestern Alberta, Calgary has evolved to become the oil capital of Canada for almost 50 years. After Toronto, the majority of Canadian corporations base their headquarters in Calgary.
🇨🇦
Speaking of evolution, there was a time that Calgary Tower (illuminated in blue light in the cityscape) was the tallest structure in the city, from 1968 to 1983. You wouldn't believe that looking at this fascinating and futuristic skyline, would you?

Today was a milestone with my photostream reaching 8-Million views. I do not know which photo was the magic number, but this one had the most views today so we will use it to memorialize this occasion.
Making it crystal clear who the boss is is something these guys learn to do right away.
I took this photo as I was leaving Carla's house after the photo shoot yesterday. Some of the babies were playing around a bit out in the pasture so I stopped and got the camera out for some quick shots. This is cropped a ton so not the best quality but I thought it was funny and worth posting anyway

Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares - Sevilla
El Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de la ciudad de Sevilla (Andalucía, España) está localizado en la plaza de América del parque de María Luisa. Al otro lado de la plaza se encuentra el Museo Arqueológico. Fue el pabellón de Arte Antiguo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Fue planteado como pabellón de Industrias, Manufacturas y Artes Decorativas. Finalmente, se le llamó pabellón de Arte Antiguo e Industrias Artísticas. Se trata de un edificio proyectado en 1913 y construido en 1914 por el arquitecto Aníbal González, autor también de los otros edificios levantados en la misma plaza de América. Es de ladrillo visto con motivos decorativos de cerámica. Por su estilo arquitectónico, fue conocido como el pabellón Mudéjar.
En principio constaba de dos plantas sobre una cámara de aireación para evitar la humedad. Se realiza una mejora durante la década de 1960 en la planta principal, que tenía más de doce metros de altura, y se dividió con una planta artificial (corresponde a la planta primera) por el arquitecto Antonio Delgado y Roig. En 1972 se unen las plantas con una gran escalera de caracol que diseña el arquitecto José Galnares Sagastizábal, trabajo que realiza después de que la construcción fuese designada para albergar el museo por el Decreto de Creación del Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, con fecha de 23 de marzo de 1972, constituido como una sección del Museo de Bellas Artes.
Sus funciones como museo se desarrollan desde el 4 de marzo de 1973, fecha en que abre sus puertas al público.

Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville (Spanish: Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares) is a museum in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, located in the María Luisa Park, across the Plaza de América from the Provincial Archeological Museum.
The museum occupies the Mudéjar Pavilion (Pabellón Mudéjar) designed by Aníbal González and built in 1914. It served as an art pavilion, the Pabellón de Arte Antiguo, for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, when Aníbal González had the opportunity to design several additional permanent buildings for the plaza. The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).[citation needed]
The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity). In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig. In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.
The museum was established by a decree of 23 March 1972, initially as a section of the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville. It opened its doors to the public 4 March 1973.[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building. Neither institution took full responsibility. This situation led to a series of temporary closures. In 1976, the electric bill could not be paid, and the museum had to be shut until it could get power again. In 1979, heavy rains damaged the interior.

Established: 1889. Located on 64-acres of rolling land, the arboretum was developed to test the hardiness of woody plants in the Canadian climate. With a variety of micro-climates and showcasing a range of woody plants, the collection contains around 4000 specimens.
Canada’s oldest arboretum. Over 1,000 tree species and varieties from around the world planted in a varied topography of hills, protected depressions and lowland, waterside areas where they could be evaluated for their hardiness to the Canadian climate. Many trees of immense size date back to the origin of the arboretum
A long-established favourite of the village and last defence from the ravages of the North Sea the pub has felt the wrath of the waves on at least three occasions. The last in the great storm of 1953 when the front was washed away and the fishermen looked on in sorrow as the precious bottles of brew bobbed about on the retreating foam ;-(
Locals will tell you that, until very recently, one had to wait for a retreating wave before making a dash into or out of the bar to avoid getting your feet wet! As the sign says: “In rough weather please use the other door.
This is an Episcopal Church established between 1645 and 1647. This is the fourth church built on this site. In the 1650’s a wooden church was constructed. The first three parishes were the Church of England.
A second, larger church was contracted for 31 years after the first church. After seven years it was still not finished. A court order issued July 15, 1685 commanded that William Hartland finish the church or repay the vestry 25 thousand pounds of tobacco, a medium of exchange at the tIme. Mr. Hartland was arrested May 6, 1686 for non-compliance. It is unknown who finished the church.
In 1753 a third church was voted on by the vestry. It was made of brick and was put into use in 1771. It was the largest colonial church in Virginia at the time. The Church of England was the established church of the State of Virginia, but in 1802 all of these churches that had been built on public land reverted to public property and the church lands were seized. The third church sat empty and began to decay and collapse.
The present church was built on this site in 1902 and a parish house was added in 1954. It is located in Northumberland County, Virginia.
The Giardini Botanici Villa Taranto (16 hectares) are botanical gardens located on the western shore of Lake Maggiore in Pallanza, Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Italy.
The gardens were established 1931-1940 by Scotsman Neil McEacharn who bought an existing villa and its neighboring estates, cut down more than 2000 trees, and undertook substantial changes to the landscape
Today the gardens contain nearly 20,000 plant varieties, representing more than 3,000 species, set among 7 km of paths. Among its collections are azalea, cornus, greenhouses of Victoria amazonica, and 300 types of dahlias. It also contains a small herbarium and the founder's mausoleum.

First off, let's establish size here. Even though this has been shot with a macro lens, this is nowhere even close to a macro shot, not even close-focus! In fact, this is (on sensor) about 5:1 or about 1/5 life size. This (harmless to humans) wasp from head to tip of her ovipositor is around 15 cm (6") !!!, and yes you can tell it's a female, because she has an ovipositor (duh). This is the largest parasitic wasp in North America, at it's very northern boundary on the north coast of Lake Erie. I did try to get in for a macro shot of her face, but she was having no part of that paparazzi crap. First time I've ever seen this beauty, and trust me I was borderline catatonic with the excitement! Two-image stack, handheld.

The monument was established by British government as for the remembrance of the death of a British governor in Bengkulu, Thomas Parr. His administration of Bencoolen (now known as Bengkulu) was only from 1805 to 1807. He was killed at night by local fighters in 1807.

The monastery was established between 1070 and 1077 by Vsevolod, son of Yaroslav the Wise. It was a family cloister of Vsevolod's son Vladimir Monomakh and his descendants.
The monastery, and the neighbourhood in present-day Kyiv where it is located, was named after an old Slavic legend about the pagan god Perun and the Grand Prince Vladimir the Great of Kyiv. The word "Vydubychi" comes from the word Vydobychi → Vydobych → Vydobech (Ukrainian: Видобичі → Видобич → Видобеч) which means "to swim up", "emerge from water".
The legend has it that Vladimir ordered the wooden figures of Perun (the Thunder God) and other pagan gods dumped into the Dnieper River during the mass Baptism of Kyiv. The disheartened Kyivans, though accepting the baptism, ran along the Dnieper River calling for the old gods to emerge from water (Перуне выдуби!). Accordingly, the area down the river stream where Perun emerged was named Vydubichu or Vydubychi in modern Ukrainian.
From Ludolf of Lüdinghausen 1406 established Borgmühle was formerly a building belonging to the castle Lüdinghausen. At that time for the Borgmühle own new Steverarm had to be dug out.
After the death of the last knight of Lüdinghausen, in 1443 the mill, just as the castle, to the bishop of Münster and later reached to the chapter. From the renewal of the mill in 1711 the stone inscription about the entrance testifies. Today the mill offers an optically wonderful picture in the heart of the town.
The current mill wheel comes from 1988 and was donated by the home association.

Sequoia National Park is the third oldest National Park established on September 25, 1890 after Yellowstone and Yosemite.
These are some enormous living beings that are difficult to grasp and you are often left starring at them for minutes till you soak the hugeness and contemplate what it would be to have one of these in your own backyard! I would love to have one given I have a parking lot as a backyard! Thats my lovely wife giving a sense of perspective to the humongous giants around.
It was cloudy since morning and for brief time sun came out. We were on the Big tree trail and got a few beaming soft rays. My wife was already in her thoughts, couldn't be less interested in my camera and the changing light, but it all worked! :)

Ontario (Algonquin Park) - 20191005-02
Established in 1893, it is the oldest provincial park in Canada. Additions since its creation have increased the park to its current size of about 7,653 km2 (2,955 sq mi).
Its size, combined with its proximity to the major urban centres of Toronto and Ottawa, makes Algonquin one of the most popular provincial parks in the province and the country. Highway 60 runs through the south end of the park, while the Trans-Canada Highway bypasses it to the north. Over 2,400 lakes and 1,200 kilometres of streams and rivers are located within the park. Some notable examples include Canoe Lake and the Petawawa, Nipissing, Amable du Fond, Madawaska, and Tim rivers. These were formed by the retreat of the glaciers during the last ice age.
The park is considered part of the "border" between Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario. The park is in an area of transition between northern coniferous forest and southern deciduous forest. This unique mixture of forest types, and the wide variety of environments in the park, allows the park to support an uncommon diversity of plant and animal species. It is also an important site for wildlife research. (Wikipedia)

We made the trek to Algonquin Park for fall colours a couple of years ago. It seemed that half of the population of Toronto and Ottawa was also there, with hundreds of cars and people filling the parking areas and roadsides as we all tried for the best views of the fall colours. I love this park, but not when it is so full of people. I'll look for less obstructed views of leaves in the future.

Banff National Park, established in 1885, is Canada’s oldest national park. This image is of the Banff National Park Administration Building, which is situated on 12 acres of land at one end of Banff Ave. It was built in 1934-36, in part as a post-depression work project. From the 1890's until the disastrous fire of 1934, the Bretton Hall Sanitarium, one of Banff's oldest resort businesses, had occupied the property.
Architect Harold C. Beckett, of Ontario, designed the building and gardens to compliment one another and the surrounding landscape. Beckett insisted on using locally acquired materials on the exterior as well as the interior of the building. The building is a three-storey structure in a domestic Tudor-Revival style built of rubble limestone in broken courses with cedar-shingled pitched roofs.

Sometimes I establish some photography goals that are simply based upon “can I get that” as opposed to that would make a good photograph rationale. In this case, it was the former. Ron Bielefeld, the most capable bird photographer I know, took a wonderful picture of a Pectoral Sandpiper, which puffs out its chest when calling in flight. After I saw his image, I wanted one of my own. We frequently heard the species on the tundra as it makes a very distinctive “woop woop” sound when flying. I called it the Woop Woop bird and was on alert hoping to get a shot of it while calling. Finally, on our last day of shooting, one flew toward me giving me this shot of it’s puffed out chest.

The Sumela Monastery, which stands on the foot of a steep cliff facing the Altındere Valley in the region of Maçka in Trabzon Province, Turkey, is popularly known as “Meyem Ana” (The Virgin Mary). The building complex is nearly 300 meters high and was built following the tradition of monasteries that were located outside the cities in forests near cave and source of water. The elevation of the Monastery is about 1350 meters.
The Monastery, founded in honor of the Virgin Mary, took the name of “Sumela” which derives from “Melas,” meaning black. Although it is thought that it has taken this name from the mountains, the Karadağlar (Black Mountains), on which it stands, it could also be associated with the black color of the icon of the Virgin Mary.
According to tradition, the Monastery was founded by two priests called Barnabas and Sophronius who came from Athens during the reign of the Emperor Theodousius I (AD 375 - 395). Then, in the 6th century, it was restored by the General Belisarius at the behest the Emperor Justinian who wanted it to be enlarged and restored.
The Monastery reached its final, present form in the 13th century. It gained importance during the reign of Alexios III (1349 - 1390) of the Comnenian Empire of Trabzon, which had been established in 1204. Its income was assured from imperial funds. During the time of Manuel III, son of Alexios III, and the reigns of later princes, Sumela gained further wealth from new imperial grants.
During the 18th century, many parts of the Monastery were restored and the walls were decorated with frescoes. In the 19th century, the Monastery took on an impressive appearance with the addition of larger buildings. This was the Monastery’s heyday and it attracted many foreign travelers who mentioned it in their writings.
The large building with a balcony on the front part of the cliff was used for the monks’ cells and as a guesthouse, it dates to 1860.
