Located only 135 km from Venice, this resort extends along the left bank of Lake Santa Caterina at around 900 metres above sea level.
Surrounded by forests and some of the most beautiful mountain massifs in the Dolomites – it is the only urban centre from which the Tre Cime di Lavaredo are visible.

The oystercatcher is a large, stocky, black and white wading bird. It has a long, orange-red bill and reddish-pink legs. In flight it shows a wide, white wing-stripe, a black tail and a white rump that extends as a 'V' between the wings.
Because it eats cockles, the population is vulnerable if cockle beds are overexploited.
They breed on almost all UK coasts. During the last 50 years, more birds have started breeding inland. Most UK birds spend the winter on the coast where they are joined on the east coast by birds from Norway.
In the UK, Isle of Man, and Ireland, the Oystercatcher is resident in most coastal areas. It has an "Amber" status because it is considered Vulnerable in Europe and Near Threatened globally.
The June full moon is sometimes called the Strawberry moon, according to the Farmer's Almanac, which says the nickname is connected to strawberries ripening in certain parts of North America. It's not a reference to the colour of the moon. However, you may still get lucky with the moon's hue. Towards the end of June, the moon usually sits in a lower position in the sky and shines through more of our atmosphere. Because of this, our moon can sometimes give off a pinkish hue. 63954
Notre-Dame de Paris is a masterpiece of Gothic art.
The building of Notre-Dame extended over 150 years, during which all the various phases of Gothic architecture were reflected in its structure (from the great cathedrals of Chartres, Reims, and Amiens).
The interior exemplifies the grandeur of Gothic architecture with its space. It is 420 foot long, 157 foot wide and 226
foot high.
The ceiling is supported by ridged vaults, with multiple arches that come together at various points across the length of the building, covering more than 130 metres altogether.
This extended tessellation of the '4-Butterflies' is related to the 'Extended open connection 5'. So I call this new one: 'Extended Open Connection 7'.
Folded from an orange sheet of glassine, hexagon 33cm, grid 1:96.
If you want to see the progress of my 'Connection-tesselations', click here for the album, where you can see my other tessellations, all based on my "Butterfly-molecule", that underlies these tessellations.
In the female, the red on the head does not extend beyond the eye as it does in this bird. The species breeds from Europe to North Africa and Central Asia.

Is there such a thing as being too relaxed? I had to take this blind as I was holding the camera high above her - a couple had missing heads but I managed it in the end
There are TWO geese in this picture. 10 shots of one goose landing, and one shot (furthest right) of a second goose that landed moments before.

I apologize for the long absence. Turns out, flickr is inaccessible in China. Who knew?
Similar in size and shape to the chaffinch, the male brambling has a black head in summer, and an orange breast with white belly. In flight it shows a long white rump. Gregarious in winter, it may form flocks of many thousands and often joins with chaffinches. Numbers can vary between winters depending on food supplies. It is a Schedule 1 species. (RSPB)
Ria del Nervión, margen izquierda, Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
La ría de Bilbao (también conocida como ría del Nervión o del Ibaizábal) es la desembocadura que forma el sistema de los ríos Nervión e Ibaizábal, así como sus últimos afluentes, en su llegada al mar Cantábrico, en el golfo de Vizcaya. Atraviesa Bilbao, divididiendo la ciudad en dos: a la derecha, Deusto, Uribarri, Begoña y Otxarkoaga-Txurdinaga, y a la izquierda, Basurto-Zorroza, Rekalde, Abando y Ibaiondo.
Pasando la jurisdicción de Bilbao, se prolonga 23 kilómetros hasta su desembocadura en el mar, entre los municipios de Santurce, Guecho y Ciérvana.
Antaño las márgenes izquierda y derecha del curso inferior de la ría, a las afueras de Bilbao, eran opuestas en cuanto a sus características sociales: la derecha era residencial y la izquierda, industrial y obrera. En Bilbao, la diferencia reside en que mientras la margen derecha conserva su valor histórico, la izquierda, completamente renovada, se ha convertido en el centro económico de la ciudad, con su epicentro en la Gran Vía de Don Diego López de Haro y la Plaza Moyúa. Ambas orillas han experimentado un desarrollo urbano impresionante, con interesantes lugares destinados al disfrute de locales y visitantes.
Margen derecha:
En el término de Bilbao se pueden observar la torre de la Catedral de Santiago y la iglesia de San Antón se erige a metros de las aguas. Más adelante se encuentra el Mercado de la Ribera, el Teatro Arriaga, el Ayuntamiento y el paseo del Campo de Volantín. El edificio de la Universidad de Deusto se levanta sobre la Avenida de las Universidades.
Más abajo aparecen los municipios de Erandio y Lejona, que a lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX fueron perdiendo parte de su suelo rural para alojar industrias y viviendas de obreros.
En Guecho, el barrio de Romo tuvo un similar carácter obrero, mientras que en los de Neguri y Las Arenas se pueden apreciar algunas fastuosas mansiones de la burguesía vasca.
Margen izquierda:
En la orilla izquierda, dentro del término de Bilbao se encuentran Abando, Indauchu y Zorroza.
La estación de Santander, los paseos de Uribitarte y Abandoibarra son recorridos por su ecológico tranvía eléctrico y llegan al inconfundible Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, símbolo de la nueva era que atraviesa la ciudad. Más adelante, el complejo centro comercial Zubiarte ofrece compras, gastronomía y salas de cine. El Palacio Euskalduna después, y más tarde lujosos hoteles como el hotel Meliá de Bilbao y parques. Por último, el Itsasmuseum Bilbao ofrece exposiciones referentes al pasado ligado al mar de la villa.
Más al norte se encuentran los municipios de Baracaldo, Sestao y Portugalete y, en la desembocadura, Santurce y Ciérvana.
The Bilbao estuary (also known as the Nervión or Ibaizábal estuary) is the mouth that forms the system of the Nervión and Ibaizábal rivers, as well as their last tributaries, as they reach the Cantabrian Sea, in the Bay of Biscay. It crosses Bilbao, dividing the city in two: on the right, Deusto, Uribarri, Begoña and Otxarkoaga-Txurdinaga, and on the left, Basurto-Zorroza, Rekalde, Abando and Ibaiondo.
Passing the jurisdiction of Bilbao, it extends 23 kilometers to its mouth in the sea, between the municipalities of Santurce, Guecho and Ciérvana.
In the past, the left and right banks of the lower course of the estuary, on the outskirts of Bilbao, were opposite in terms of their social characteristics: the right was residential and the left, industrial and working class. In Bilbao, the difference is that while the right bank preserves its historical value, the left, completely renovated, has become the economic center of the city, with its epicenter in the Gran Vía de Don Diego López de Haro and the Plaza Moyua. Both shores have experienced an impressive urban development, with interesting places for the enjoyment of locals and visitors.
Right margin:
In the municipality of Bilbao you can see the tower of the Cathedral of Santiago and the church of San Antón stands meters from the water. Further on is the Mercado de la Ribera, the Arriaga Theater, the Town Hall and the Campo de Volantín promenade. The University of Deusto building stands on Avenida de las Universidades.
Below are the municipalities of Erandio and Lejona, which throughout the 19th and 20th centuries lost part of their rural land to accommodate industries and workers' houses.
In Guecho, the Romo neighborhood had a similar working-class character, while in Neguri and Las Arenas you can see some lavish mansions of the Basque bourgeoisie.
Left margin:
On the left bank, within the municipality of Bilbao, are Abando, Indauchu and Zorroza.
The Santander station, the Uribitarte and Abandoibarra promenades are traveled by its ecological electric tram and arrive at the unmistakable Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, symbol of the new era that is going through the city. Further on, the complex Zubiarte shopping center offers shopping, gastronomy and movie theaters. The Euskalduna Palace later, and later luxurious hotels such as the Meliá hotel in Bilbao and parks. Finally, the Itsasmuseum Bilbao offers exhibitions referring to the past linked to the sea in the town.
Further north are the municipalities of Baracaldo, Sestao and Portugalete and, at the mouth, Santurce and Ciérvana.
I watched this bird for a good while. It was gaping, panting and extending its tongue almost constantly. It was a cool morning and cooler shadows were just a few feet away
If you zoom in and look at the tongue, you will notice several red objects. Maybe parasites?

One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.
A female Red-breasted Merganser paddles with its large feet to help get airborne. This individual made a rare winter appearance in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, for an extended period, spending its time on open stretches of the Bow River.
* It was cold and showery when we went to Loch Ness but from time to time the sun did make an appearance . It looks the best part of the day to drive round the Loch with stops for walks. Its a very long narrow Loch and the road on the southern side is single track so progress is slow . And before anyone asks we did not see the the monster frankly its as likely at Trump telling the truth
Loch Ness is a large freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 23 miles southwest of Inverness. It takes its name from the River Ness, which flows from the northern end..At 22 sq mi, Loch Ness is the second-largest Scottish loch by surface area after Loch Lomond, but due to its great depth it is the largest by volume in Great Britain. Its deepest point is 755 feet, making it the second deepest loch in Scotland after Loch Morar. It contains more water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined,
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
We recently have extended rain, and we need it. I drove from the Silicon Valley to La Honda, located on the peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area. The hilly area is full of redwoods. I drove along a windy road among redwoods, it was drizzly and foggy.
I processed a photographic, a paintery, and a balanced HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the curves and color balance, desaturated the image, and added strong vignetting. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
