Thought I would try a more iconic pose from Granada. I hope I have added enough spark to give it a fresh taste. Otherwise, as always, I have added in a narrative so you can wander through history from a different Point Of View.
On the shoulders of southern Spain is a Fortress that once ruled with supreme confidence. The kings believed that nothing would change as long as they were alive. And then one of them died and everything changed.
Now the fortress and palace are a walking garden for people with enough footprints to get there.
The proverbial flies on the walls have also passed on and so there really are only rumors of stories left to tell of this great kingdom and the daily lives of people who lived and prospered there.
I only know these stories from a direct descendant of a gnat who sat on the wings of a fly perched on the wall where a king and queen shared court with legends of old.
Some other direct descendants are still living so I cannot reveal everything the gnat told me but I can tell you this ... It was all amazing!
For instance, one Friday the eldest son walked past the jaguar fountain in the courtyard and asked his mother "Will I be a good King?"
The mother thought for awhile and spoke wisely "It really is up to the gnat on the fly's wings on the wall to know for sure...but I believe if it is written in the stars it will be so! " She smiled sweetly but he did not feel so self assured.
Years later, he did become King and breathed a sigh of relief.
But as many kings, he finally had to let go when the winds started blowing from the Northwest and new owners bought the property and asked him to leave.
It is rumored that he sat at this perch for many days looking back at his home and meditating on the amazing journey of his life and his temporal loss. Eventually he packed up his caravan and relocated to Morocco where he lived a prosperous and fruitful life but he was always the most proud of the beauty his family created with this grand monument.
When I came here, a few years later, I did not feel like a King nor a gnat on the wings of a fly on the wall. But I did taste history in the meal I ate on this same terrace and I can still smell the sweet scent of wisteria rising up in the heat and hear the breezes rustle and crackling leaves in the trees like a gnat dancing on the wings of a fly playing flamenco on the walls of the golden palace listening to conversations and passing it along to the next generation.
No matter what anyone says, History tastes better when it's warm and the view is hot!
This stream is all fresh water coming down from the mountains and runs then into the ocean water area in West Vancouver, BC. Lots of birds like to drink from this water. In the distance can be seen the Lions Gate Bridge which connects the entire West & North Shore areas with Vancouver proper, by going through the Stanley Park roadway.
I miss this place; one day hope to see it again.

CSXT 34 leading M716 as they meet Q643 at Longview, CSXT 34 is wearing a relatively fresh YN3B paint job(which is no longer the corporate scheme anymore)
Made from scratch, not a bread machine... the recipe handed down to my mother from my grandmother, then to me. Minus the lard they used, I use olive oil as my shortening.
50/50 whole wheat/white flour.
Sure makes the kitchen warm and with a wonderful aroma, baking bread on a cold winter day.
Here I explain how to get that effect:

On an early March morning after many inches of snow fell overnight, I arrived in the pre-dawn hours to an absolute winter wonderland. Slowly I began to explore, on sensory overload as the thick white blanket that coated seemingly every branch down to every pine needle filled me with a sense of wonder. Near Yosemite Falls, this path, as yet undisturbed, invitingly curved deeper into the snowy woods. The dense wood was no match for the storm that coated every branch inside the forest. Clearly the path had been plowed once only for winter to strike again. So far this has been my only snowy visit to Yosemite. Since I started keeping tabs of the winter weather there, hoping to experience the winter magic, the alignment of my availability with such a storm has been few and very far between, 2023 included. This exceptional winter has had me thinking a lot about the park and my one winter visit in 2018. Snow in the valley seemed so ephemeral to me before, as despite an overnight dumping the next day would be in mid-40's during the day and by afternoon most of the snow on branches would be gone as would be the case later in the day of this photo. While he part about the branches holds true now, it's a different story on the ground when there's 5-15 feet of snow everywhere. I can't help but have my mind drift to wonder how everything looked during this winter, if only I could have experienced it safely.
I had a couple hours between tasks today, and I decided to take a short hike along Schwatka Lake in the Yukon River Valley. I am sooo glad I did! The words "winter wonderland" almost did it justice.
This photo was taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro hand held. The final image was processed from raw in Adobe Lightroom Classsic 11.
Sharing a little sun shine and fresh air.
Stay safe, stay educated.
