The frozen Yachenskoye Reservoir in Kaluga.
The Yachenskoye Reservoir was formed in 1980 in a Kaluga suburb, near the confluence of the Yachenka and Oka rivers. This 230,000 square meter body of water serves as a discharge point for wastewater from the city's more than a dozen sewer systems. Despite this, it is home to fish: carp, crucian carp, ide, pike, zander, bream, and others. However, fishing is prohibited here due to poisoning.
This area is nicknamed "God's Thunder" by locals—according to them, accidents here are common, with various explanations for the causes, including electric shocks, UFOs, and other causes.

Has visto
verdaderamente has visto
la nieve los astros los pasos afelpados de la brisa
Has tocado
de verdad has tocado
el plato el pan la cara de esa mujer que tanto amás
Has vivido
como un golpe en la frente
el instante el jadeo la caída la fuga
Has sabido
con cada poro de la piel sabido
que tus ojos tus manos tu sexo tu blando corazón
había que tirarlos
había que llorarlos
había que inventarlos otra vez.
Julio Cortázar.
Huonglong National Scenic Park.
Over millennia of geological change, mineral deposits built up and naturally created the travertine pools of Huanglong. Formed out of limestone, the hot springs rose to varied levels, making the light blue water cascade over waterfalls into other series of pools and even hollowing out caves along the valley. With rugged, snow-capped peaks on both sides, the slicing river of hot springs looks almost like a dragon, earning the title of “Yellow Dragon.”

Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colors). They often have a different colored blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. The tulip's flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette. 11717

Taken back in May, and to be honest, I've no idea as to what it was, not a clue, but the points of light were extremely tiny. Definitely a macro, just wish I could remember 'a macro of what'!
Thank you for visiting. Your comments and/or faves are greatly appreciated.

The Church are an Australian alternative rock band formed in Sydney in 1980. Initially associated with new wave, neo-psychedelia, and indie rock, their music later came to feature slower tempos and surreal soundscapes reminiscent of dream pop and post-rock. "this unique Sydney-originated entity has purveyed a distinctive, ethereal, psychedelic-tinged sound which has alternatively found favour and disfavour in Australia." The Los Angeles Times has described the band's music as "dense, shimmering, exquisite guitar pop" (from Wikipedia).
Sometime in history, there was here, in what we know as Mérida, Yucatán, México, a worship place for the Mayan god Itzamná, however, Spanish conquerors, built over it a little chapel in 1572 and many years later a temple dedicated to Saint Michel Archangel. At this time, it remains the baptismal font in the restored Church of Itzimná.
En algún momento de la historia existió, en lo que hoy se conoce como barrio de Itzimná, un adoratorio dedicado al Dios maya Itzamná, sin embargo los conquistadores decidieron construir en 1572 una pequeña capilla y años más tarde el templo donde por muchos años se veneró al Cristo de las Esquipulas y dedicado también a San Miguel Arcángel. De la primera capilla se conserva aún la pila bautismal en lo que ahora es la ya renovada Parroquia de la Señora del Perpetuo Socorro en veneración a dicha Virgen.

MLC Centre architecture cannot be overlooked. With elegantly contoured, stark white concrete, white quartz and glass, the façade presents itself as a handsomely moulded sculpture.
Harry Seidler AC QBE is a luminary of Australian architecture. Widely considered as the first architect to fully express the Bauhaus aesthetic here. The MLC Centre remains one of his most definitive works on the Sydney Skyline.
244m to antenna and 227m to roof. The MLC Centre was Sydney’s tallest building in Sydney from 1977 to 1992. It is currently the fifth tallest building behind the Meriton World Tower (230m), Deutsche Bank Place (240m), Citigroup Centre (243m) and Chifley Tower (244m). The tallest structure in Sydney is still the Sydney Tower at 309m.
Buckfast Abbey forms part of an active Benedictine monastery at Buckfast, near Buckfastleigh, Devon. Buckfast has been home to an abbey since 1018. The first Benedictine abbey was followed by a Savignac (later Cistercian) abbey constructed on the site of the current abbey in 1134. The monastery was surrendered for dissolution in 1539, with the monastic buildings stripped and left as ruins, before being finally demolished. The former abbey site was used as a quarry, and later became home to a Gothic mansion house.
In 1882 the site was purchased by a group of French Benedictine monks, who refounded a monastery on the site, dedicated to Saint Mary. New monastic buildings and a temporary church were constructed incorporating the existing Gothic house. Work on a new abbey church, which was constructed mostly on the footprint of the former Cistercian abbey, started in 1907. The church was consecrated in 1932 but not completed until 1938.
Buckfast was formally reinstated as an Abbey in 1902, and the first abbot of the new institution, Boniface Natter, was blessed in 1903. The abbey continues to operate as a Benedictine foundation today.

If you are familiar with the flowering tree called a dogwood, you might be surprised to learn this fact. What you are looking at is the true flower on a dogwood tree. The white petals of the dogwood flower are actually leaf-like growths called bracts rather than true petals. The actual flowers are in the cluster at the center of the dogwood bloom.
En la provincia de La Rioja. Forma parte de la cuenca geológica “Talampaya / Ischigualasto” y comparte con dichos parques características paisajísticas, geológicas y culturales. Su nombre evoca el sonido que produce el viento al circular entre las formaciones rocosas. Se creó en el año 2002 para preservar los recursos de la zona.
El recorrido por el parque se desarrolla a lo largo de tres circuitos, de los cuales sólo una parte se realiza en vehículo. El resto del recorrido se realiza mediante caminatas de baja o media dificultad, en todos los casos con el acompañamiento de una persona experta conocedora del parque (denominada baqueano), que actúa informalmente como guía.
Las curiosas formas producto de la erosión, diferentes geoformas, fueron nombradas espontáneamente por los pobladores cercanos, sobre la base de la similitud de su aspecto con objetos o animales. Estudios recientes dan cuenta de una importante riqueza arqueológica, considerando el número de hallazgos y su diversidad. Se destacan las áreas de morteros comunitarios tallados en piedra, múltiples y variadas estructuras. Es posible avistar al vigía de los cerros y quebradas, El Cóndor Andino, especia que cruza el cielo riojano y se puede admirar su vuelo en este Parque Natural, disfrutando del espectáculo que nos ofrece.
