There's a temple in the middle of the Hofgarten: it's the Diana Temple and it was built more than 400 years ago.
I don't often fire my 90D's built-in flash, but sometimes I remember to do so and it pays off :)
O Templo de Diana fica no meio do
Hofgarten e foi construído há mais de 400 anos.
Não costumo usar o flash incorporado da minha 90D, mas às vezes lembro-me de o fazer e o resultado compensa :)

On the site of the Castle of Pombal there was first a Roman castro, which later became an Arab fortress. It was only in 1156 that the construction of the Romanesque castle began, which would allow the development of the town of Pombal - could it be that there were already many pigeons around, even in the 12th century? 😛
No local do Castelo de Pombal começou por existir um castro romano, que mais tarde se tornou uma fortaleza árabe. Foi apenas em 1156 que se iniciou a construção do castelo românico, que viria a permitir o desenvolvimento da povoação de Pombal na encosta Sul do morro do castelo - será que já no século XII existiam por ali muitos pombos? 😛

A cloud-covered Spring day is simply perfect for a stroll on the beach of Nazaré (or any other beach, for that matter) - no scorching heat and no crowds, just the sea and the amazing sky: what I call paradise :)

Um dia nublado de Primavera é simplesmente perfeito para um passeio na praia da Nazaré (ou em qualquer outra praia, já agora) - sem sol abrasador e sem multidões, só o mar e um céu espectacular: a minha ideia de paraíso :)

This species is a part of the larger grouping of owls known as typical owls, Strigidae, which contains most species of owl. The other grouping is the barn owls, Tytonidae.
The collared scops owl is a common breeding bird in forests and other well-wooded areas. It nests in a hole in a tree, laying 3-5 eggs.
The collared scops owl is a small (23–25 cm) owl, although it is the largest of the scops owls. Like other scops owls, it has small head tufts, or ears. The upperparts are grey or brown, depending on the subspecies, with faint buff spotting. The underparts are buff with fine darker streaking.
The facial disc is whitish or buff, and the eyes are orange or brown. There is a buff neckband. Sexes are similar. The flight is deeply undulating.
This species is nocturnal but it can often be located by the small birds that mob it while it is roosting in a tree. It feeds mainly on insects. The call is a quiet goog gook.
This species is chiefly found in northern India and is replaced by the very similar looking oriental scops owl Otus sunia (recently split) towards the south of its range. It is very similar also to the slightly smaller Indian scops owl, O. bakkamoena. They are most easily separated in the field by their calls.
Day 3 of RebelLUG's Vignweek contest 2025.
The theme was "Nautica"
Build a Nautical scene. It can be historical, modern, or sci-fi, but should pertain to sailing, diving, research, naval warfare, etc.
Alaric had decided to borrow a wooden raft and go on the nearest sea to catch some silver fishes. Unfortunately, it took him longer than expected, and as night fell, skeletons began to emerge from the water, attacking him. Will he manage to escape this nightmarish situation?
The build looks as goog as I was imagining when I got the idea but I don't think I've successefully captured it in picture
Hope you like it :)
This path runs along what's called Fonte da Areia ("Sand Fountain"). These wind-sculpted cliffs are made of eolianites, which is a fancy way of referring to rocks formed by sediments carried by the wind and turned into rock. They are more than 30,000 years old, and this is where the sand of the Beach of Porto Santo comes from, travelling all the way from the north to the south shore of the island.

Este caminho acompanha a chamada Fonte da Areia. Estas falésias esculpidas pelo vento são constituídas por eolianitos, uma forma sofisticada de denominar as rochas formadas por sedimentos transportados pelo vento e transformados em rocha. Têm mais de 30.000 anos, e é daqui que vem a areia da Praia do Porto Santo, fazendo a longa viagem da costa norte até à costa sul da ilha.

A close-up of a cliff wall made up of sediments carried by the wind and turned into rock (eolianites), which then turns back into sand and is carried by the sea all the way across the island of Porto Santo, from the north to the south shore. It's truly one of Nature's works of art, at Fonte da Areia.

I'm always impressed when I realise that the stones on that wall around the Castle of Pombal are over 800 years old...

Excerpt from bordee-qc-ca.translate.goog/nouvelle/des-etincelles-dans-...:
In front of us, the vertigo , a giant mural to be seen from the intersection of boulevard Charest and rue Dorchester until next spring.
For this 2022-2023 season, La Bordée was pleased to offer Quebec artist Nadia Morin the mandate to create a new mural. This collaboration proved to be fruitful, since it made it possible to broaden the theme of our programming, Devant nous le vertige, to hitherto untapped avenues. Moreover, Nadia knew how to remain in perfect cohesion with our programming, because, like our plays on the bill, her work gives rise to a shared experience of vertigo during its contemplation. This artist has generously agreed to open the doors of her creative studio to us. Here, she tells us about the journey that led her to the creation of the mural, which, for the months to come, will proudly sit on the back wall of our theatre.
In my practice, I was already interested in the notion of vertigo, in this powerful, unknown and intriguing feeling of throwing oneself into the void, of being attracted to it. To assess the possibilities and take a risk that lives up to our aspirations, this passage to another world or another stage. When I found out that the theme of the mural was Devant nous le vertigo, I thought it echoed my artistic work perfectly. My creation aims to arouse in the public a sweet amalgam of emotions: a poetic vision. It represents the bubbling interiority aroused by the urgency of upheavals and inviting, positive novelties. My works visually transpose the relationship between community and intimacy, which echoes not only the theme of the season, but also the mission of La Bordée.
At the start, I immediately thought of divers, since they are a good metaphor for the attraction of the void, this movement towards an elsewhere. Launching, diving, immersing and summoning the splendor of a new space. Then my thoughts drifted towards the circus artists: tightrope walkers, trapeze artists, acrobats, etc. In their careers, they tend to tame vertigo, appropriate it and reinterpret it into a spectacular event that defies fear. The universe of the circus is very similar to dreams, to our part of the imagination, to fireworks in the night to impress, ephemeral and grandiose moment of magic. I tried, through the mural, to evoke a part of it.
Besides, I always include elements of nature in my collages; I wanted this time to transpose the desire to climb the immensity of the mountains, to reach their summits with unreachable appearances of which we like to be the temporary conquerors. The clouds graze the summit and through the opening on the sky map, I wanted to create a reminder of the raised eyes contemplating the extent of a cartography of constellations and to evoke this moment when one feels so small and overwhelmed. The size of the territories around us can also make you dizzy, as can the possibility of losing their beauty, their access, due to climate change. The fall represents the possibility of this overflow, but also another entry into the void, like an invitation to dare to dive, just to see...
Finally, I wanted to tempt the spectator, to offer him the possibility of experiencing vertigo himself, of climbing the ladder to join the trapeze artists; at the same time, I hope to give it the feeling of grandeur from the bottom of the mural and a different perspective from the heights. Through the colors, I wanted to evoke a sunrise or a sunset and I wanted to offer light to the autumn and winter seasons to come. And if this mural wanted to be sparks in the concrete, a dreamlike landscape to support the vertigo of everyday life and aspire to that of the greatest moments?

The air was so cold (5ºC/41ºF) and there was so much fog, that it made the water look almost black, which served to accentuate the mirror effect with the reflection of the snow-covered banks of the Covão do Curral Reservoir, in Serra da Estrela.
Guarda - Portugal
O ar estava tão frio (5ºC) e havia tanto nevoeiro, que tornou a cor da água quase negra, o que serviu para acentuar o efeito de espelho com o reflexo das margens nevadas da Albufeira da Barragem do Covão do Curral, na Serra da Estrela.

It's called Wind Surf - and you simply cannot help but notice a cruise ship with sails. I was arriving at the Oeiras Marina and had to run to get closer and get this shot of this peculiar ship about to pass by the Bugio lighthouse.

Chama-se Wind Surf - e é simplesmente impossível não reparar num navio de cruzeiro com velas. Estava eu a chegar à Marina de Oeiras e tive de dar uma corrida para fazer esta foto deste navio tão peculiar, prestes a passar pelo farol do Bugio.

I'm pretty sure this was not the view they had from the Castle of Pombal when they first built it 😋
Tenho "quase" a certeza de que não era esta a vista que tinham do Castelo de Pombal quando o construíram 😋

I saw many of these floating nests during my walk in the Nymphenburg Palace Park. This one was built in a particularly quiet spot of the park and it got me thinking that those birds have a firm grip on the golden real estate concept of "location, location, location" :)
Vi muitos deste ninhos flutuantes durante o meu passeio no Parque do Palácio Nymphemburg. Este foi construído num local particularmente pacífico do parque, o que me faz pensar que estas aves conhecem bem o conceito que é a chave do sucesso no ramo do imobiliário: "localização, localização, localização" :)

Central Park is (mostly) green. When the inclement sun shines upon the visitors, there's no lack of shade provided by lots of very friendly giants: the magnificent trees of this beautiful park.

The Beresford is one of many iconic NYC apartment buildings, and this one is known to have been the residence of many famous people.
The Lake is one of the main features of Central Park, which covers 20 acres and has been excavated entirely by hand.
That large rock outcrop jutting out from the Lake's west side is called Hernshead and there's the Ladies' Pavillion right next to it.
O Beresford é um de muitos blocos de apartamentos icónicos de Nova Iorque e este é conhecido por ter servido de residência a muita gente famosa.

Aquele grande rochedo à beira do lago chama-se Hernshead e, mesmo ao lado, vê-se o Ladies' Pavillion.
The Gonk has spoken: 2023 will be a great year for everybody all around the world. No more war, hunger, or disease. Unless I mistook his predictions for my wishful thinking…
Anyway, those are my New Year wishes for everyone 👀. Let's raise a toast to 2023, hoping that it brings joy, love, and health for us all 🎉✨
O Gonk pronunciou-se: o ano de 2023 será um excelente ano para todos, em todo o mundo. Sem guerra, fome ou doenças. A menos que eu tenha confundido as previsões dele com os meus desejos...
Seja como for, são esses os meus votos de Ano Novo para toda a gente 👀. Aqui fica um brinde à esperança de que 2023 nos traga alegria, amor e saúde 🎉✨
From this perspective, the visible part of the fort measures about 460 feet (thanks Google Earth!). At waterline, the whole cruise ship measures 535 feet. However, that difference does not account for the fact that, in this photo, the Bugio looks like a tiny lighthouse tower in comparison to the Wind Surf. Of course, even if it were tiny, and given the choice, I'd still rather live in the Bugio :)
Oeiras - Portugal
Desta perspectiva, a parte visível do forte mede cerca de 140 metros (obrigado, Google Earth!). Ao nível da linha de água, todo o navio de cruzeiro mede cerca de 160 metros. No entanto, essa diferença não justifica o facto de, nesta foto, o Bugio parecer uma pequena torre de farol em comparação com o Wind Surf. Claro que, mesmo que fosse pequeno, e se eu pudesse escolher, continuaria a preferir viver no Bugio :)

Swans are amazing - whether on or off the water. I could watch them for hours and be very entertained. This one was taking off from the lake in front of the Nymphenburg Palace Park.
Os cisnes são fantásticos - seja dentro ou fora de água. Eu conseguia observá-los durate horas e estar sempre entretida. Este preparava-se para levantar voo sobre o lago em frente ao Parque do Palácio Nymphenburg.
