It was a cloudy day. Just an hour or so after sunrise. The sunrise was disappointing, however, I stuck around a little while to see if I could get a little more light and white clouds. The setting was at Schwabacher's Landing near Jackson Hole, Wyoming with the Tetons for the background. I was able to get a few good reflections. Hope you enjoy it.
The Grand-Place of Tournai (Belgium)
does not always have this place open with its welcoming terraces. Between the first and 4th centuries, part of the square served as a cemetery and, during excavations undertaken during the development work at the end of the 20th century, the remains of a Carolingian chapel were found.
For centuries, it will be outside the first ramparts of the city whose historic heart was closer to the Scheldt. After the abandonment of the cemetery due to the expansion of the city, it is transformed into a market place. In 1187, when the King of France Philip Augustus gave the city a charter guaranteeing it communal freedoms, the Tournaisians chose the market to erect a Belfry. The Grand-Place became the centre of communal life that we still know today.
From its particularity of being triangular in shape, it is also so by the Flemish architecture of the houses that form a harmonious whole and makes it the most Flemish of the Walloon cities.
One of the famous barns in Grand Teton national Park. Autumn was late this year so we still had some beautiful colors in the trees in late October.

Le Machaon ou Grand porte-queue (Papilio machaon) est une espèce de lépidoptères de la famille des Papilionidae. Présent dans la plupart des régions tempérées de l'hémisphère nord, ce grand papillon est particulièrement connu du grand public en Europe, où il est le Papilionidae le plus commun.
L'imago du Machaon est un grand papillon de forme vaguement triangulaire possédant une queue, d'une envergure de 55 à 90 mm et reconnaissable à ses grands vols planés.
Les ailes ont un fond jaune clair. Elles présentent des dessins noirs et une bordure noire ornée de macules bleues et une macule rouge à l'aile postérieure.

The colors of the Grand Canyon constantly change throughout the day and seasons.
Most rock layers contain iron, which imparts subtle hues of green, yellow, and red to the canyon walls.

The sun setting over the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This is one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring places on the earth. The peace and tranquillity felt here at any time is amazing but the colour and shadows on the rock formations at sun set take your breath away.

Geblasenes Glas
(vom Künstler als "Perser" bezeichnet)
Seit 1986 experimentiert der 1941 geborene Amerikaner mit Glasbläserei.
Mit seinem Team reiste er nach Japan, Finnland, Irland und Mexiko... studierte, arbeitete und forschte in Glasfabriken, Manufakturen - erarbeitete Serien wie die hier im Museum Groningen ausgestellte.
„Es gibt ein weit verbreitetes Missverständnis, dass große moderne Kunst immer einen radikalen Bruch mit der Vergangenheit macht. Tatsächlich bricht sehr gute, neue Kunst oft mit der Gegenwart, indem sie in die Vergangenheit zurückkehrt. “
