Even without Aspens or scrub oak, this alpine valley somewhere near 12.000' of elevation shows off fall colors with the grasses in the late afternoon.
Stopped at a switchback, along the last leg of the Alpine Loop Trail coming down from Engineer Pass to Animas Forks, the serenity, crispness, and amazing color palette were breathtaking. The small ponds reflected the rich blue skies overhead, while the clouds directed the light into an interesting pattern on the ground.
Congrats on Explore!

The German militairy cemetry in Vladso (Belgium)
While the cemetries of the Allied troops have stark white colors, those of the German troops are gray- black and look dead and gloomy.
While the militairy cemetries are an example of discipline and structure, the German variants lack alignment and logic.
It was long be argued that this would be regulated in the Articles 225 and 226, from the Treaty of Versailles, but whoever reads these articles will find that this view is incorrect.
The real reason is that the French after the end of the insane war were ordered tot give the German dead their final resting place and collected the bodies in the sector of Ypres and burried them on free pieces of land, altough it was not obvious that they each received an individual tombstone.
So what we see here is in fact a mass grave, covered with granite slabs bearing their names.
Black evokes bad feelings and the Germans were in the eyes of the Allied the agressor, despite the fact that during investigations after the insane war it appeared that all warring parties had engaged in aggression and had committed atrocities. France, England and Italy had already secretly divided the territories of Germany and its colonies, the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire, in the heat of the battle!
It was of paramount legal importance that, according to the President of the United States Wilson's conviction, Germany should be held responsible but not blamed for the insane war breaking out. However they were incomprehensible responsible for the reparations!
The fact that the Germans and English soldiers at the front still had peaceful feelings towards eachother is evident from the inconceivable Christmas truce in 1914 that took place in the sector of Ypres.
This incomprehensible event of peace and fraternity during the heat of the battle took also place on field sites in many other sections at the front.
The German front soldiers started on Christmas eve 1914 by singing "Silent Night" and shouting "Merry Christmas".
When the British soldiers realized that this was well-meant, they came out of their trenches and even went to exchange their Christmas presents from home.
On Christmas Day, they played football together in the no-man's-land, the piece of land between the trenches of the warring armies; ordinairy soldiers who were tired of the war could momentarily throw of the yoke of the insane war.
When the army commanders, or rather the butchers, got wind of this, these fraternizing actions were officially stricktly forbidden from above and held out very severe punishments if the fightings were not resumed immedialy. The ensuing battles would claim millions of lives on the whole front.

This is the view looking along the train track from Mallaig to Fort William. From Easter to Autumn the Jacobite steam train (Hogwarts Express) runs along here past the Polnish Chapel. That's An Stac, a Corbett, behind. We live somewhere on the other side, in the back o' beyond.
Even though this is a squirrel perched atop a residential chimney in my neighborhood at sunrise, I share it with you in the spirit of a furry mythical blood thirsty beast atop a cemetery crypt in the moonlight :) Happy Halloween Flickr friends! Take care and creep it real :)

Thanks for the visit, comments, awards, invitations and favorites.
Even when life seems hard, always try to greet the sun with a smile.
I will not lie, I beamed when I saw that Kae was opening IASWAS, or' It All Starts With A Smile' again. If you are someone who has the patience to read through my blogrambles here, you will know that I enjoy finding pretty and inspiring places to sit, and take pictures as well as letting my imagination wander. I spent much time soaking up the wintery atmosphere in one of IASWAS's previous incarnations, letting it flow into pictures and writing.
When I made it over to the SIM to explore I wasn't disappointed. In fact, there was too much for me to see on just one visit. I was pleased to see advertisements there for music. A new thing is that there are rentals there too... what beautiful surroundings. They seem to be all taken at the moment though, if any of you were interested.
If ever you needed an extra reason to visit, they have a photographic competition running now too, with some excellent prizes Details here!

Even though it was in the teens out with a single digit wind chill, some parts of the beach were quite warm. We stopped here for a while on our hike to soak in the sun and enjoy the sound of the waves.
There are many trees down due to the lake levels being so high and this one was quite the frozen beauty!
When so much of the Summer color has left us wanting more now Fall has arrived. The roses here and there are many have held on to their beauty and their grace. “Even In October” their beauty is seen in several areas here on the property. The side yard had the pink roses mostly. The back yard has plenty of great looking red roses now even now in mid November. It’s wonderful to see and photograph still. Thanks for visiting and commenting on my my photos.
Even in SL - problems can come to visit. But unlike Real Life..... "Mute and de-render" can make many of those problems go away :-)
Even leaves need to stay in shape so when I saw this leaf doing it's daily exercise - a stiff round of 50 pull-ups (very impressive!) - I just had to get a shot.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

Spotlights On: bridges in the light From 14 to 19 November, all eyes will be on the Drechtsteden. The Three Rivers Point and four bridges over the major rivers are lit up sensationally. Each with their own story and with super-efficient LED light. In the places that literally connect the region. A true light spectacle. The large beams of light tell a story from the bridges between Papendrecht, Sliedrecht, Zwijndrecht and Dordrecht and from the De Noord bridge. The central focal point is a special light ballet on the three river point.
The reason for the light spectacle is the St. Elisabeth's Flood of more than 600 years ago. The Sint Elisabethflood has shaped the region as it is today. A lot of money and energy was then put into preventing wet feet. And the theme is still current.
Even though the day was dreary, beautiful Loch Lomond beckoned the intrepid tourist in spite of the rain.

I just love wide angle :-)
Even places i visit everyday, like a playground, can be put in a completely different perspective through a 14-24 mm lens
Even in winter, he spends many hours outside, despite the cold and moisture.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments! It's greatly appreciated!
Even een actuele plaat ter afwisseling. Vandaag kon ik tijdens mijn rondje Waaslandhaven samen met Carlo Hertoghs die ik er toevallig tegen het lijf liep, één van de nieuwe Railpool-lease locs van B-Logistics op foto zetten.
Jullie zien deze recente aanwinst hier aan de overweg aan de Steenlandlaan bij het verlaten van Bundel Zuid.
Volgens de info die ik van Carlo gekregen heb, zouden deze locs geen 28 of 29 nummer krijgen. Persoonlijk hoop ik stiekem wel op een logo.

Even a departure day can be a beautiful day.
On the left the Saint Nikolaus Church, frist mentioned in written in 1320. On the right side you see the connecting gondola from Westendorf to Brixen in Thale, which makes this a big skiing area.

Even though we stopped feeding the deer, they still hang around hoping we will change our mind. Now they nibble on our shrubs and cedar trees.
NOTE:
I am going to be less active on flickr for awhile. We are in the beginning process of downsizing and selling our home. Our intention is to buy a smaller home with more amenities, close by, in another community. Right now we are preparing the house for viewing. I will keep you posted as to our progress. Hopefully it all goes smoothly!
“That last week the syringa came out at San Salvatore, and all the acacias flowered. No one had noticed how many acacias there were till one day the garden was full of a new scent, and there were the delicate trees, the lovely successors to the wistaria, hung all over among their trembling leaves with blossom. When, on the first of May, everybody went away, even after they had got to the bottom of the hill and passed through the iron gates out into the village they still could smell the acacias. They could smell them even when they reached London. But that’s another story.” ― Elizabeth von Arnim, “The Enchanted April” 1922
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 28th of September is “flowers in pastel”, and since September indicates the beginning of spring in the Southern Hemisphere, I had a multitude of spring blossoms to choose from. Ornamental apple blossom is one of my favourite examples of spring blossom, so as I took this on the 2nd of September, it seemed the perfect choice for this week’s theme. I hope you like it too, and that it makes you smile!
Malus is a genus of about thirty to fifty five species of small deciduous trees or shrubs in the family Rosaceae, including the domesticated orchard apple, crab apples and wild apples. The genus is native to the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere. Crabapples or ornamental apple blossom trees are known for their beautiful display of pink and white blossoms in spring, and colourful ornamental fruit later in the year.
A passing sadness seems to wash over out of the blue. How even a happy memory can make one sad. But to be sad is because you experienced the good.
And now? Cling to memories until maybe they too - fade away. Maybe to happier times, until you sit in the dark. Wondering, thinking. Everything just stopped.
In my heart of hearts, I wish... I just want to sit here for a little while I think, and let it wash over me.
