Looking down at Glacier Park's Two Medicine Lake it is hard to believe the lake is 2 miles long. If you're ever here do consider hiking the Scenic Point Trail.
As always your views, faves and suggestions are appreciated!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

The Aulne monastery (Abbaye d'Aulne) was once a Benedictine and then a Cistercian monastery - and now it is mostly in ruins. It was founded already in 637 and came under Cistercian rule in 1147. The monastery had many ups and downs, with its last golden era in the 18th century. But the monastery was sacked by French revolutionaries in 1794 and turned to ruins.
Mother Nature gives the sun a glorious exit. This image is based on a photo that I took at day's end as I headed home from a walk.
"The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil ...
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward springs --
Because the Holy Ghost over the
bent
World broods, with warm breast,
And with ah! bright wings."
~ Gerard Manley Hopkins

This is the same sailboat I recently posted but I loved the sky so much this morning that I had to share it.
Just had to share this magnificent sunset that I witnessed on Pacific Beach in Washington state. We go there every year, but this year the sunset seemed particularly beautiful and made me think of one of my favorite poems.

This is one of those shots I was really hoping to get and I'm very happy with the result. Some patience for people to move out of the frame and some luck with a string of camels passing by just under the pyramids. You could almost imagine this same scene playing out hundreds of years ago.
Baby Taj, Agra. India.
Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah built between 1622 and 1628 is a Mughal mausoleum in the city of Agra. Often described as jewel box sometimes called Baby Taj is often regarded as a draft of the Taj Mahal. The mausoleum was commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of Jahangir, for her father Mirzā Ghiyās Beg, originally a Persian Amir in exile, who had been given the title of I'timād-ud-Daulah (pillar of the state). Mirzā Ghiyās Beg was also the grandfather of Mumtāz Mahāl the wife of the emperor Shah Jahan, responsible for the construction of the Taj Mahal for his beloved wife.

The grandeur of the Pacific is hard to wrap one's mind around. The color pallet of the water, the mountains that seemingly fall into its depths, and the sunsets that repeat themselves enrobed in their glorious golden light. It is a place that is hard to describe in words. It is a place where there is so much beauty to take in that it is overwhelming. It is a place that is hand crafted. It is a place where the imagination and creativity of God ran wild, yet it is perfectly organized. Not one thing is out of place. It is a place that will leave you constantly wanting to come back and never wanting to leave. It is a place with such grandeur that my words will always fall short to describe it, but it will always be a testimony to His glory, power, and perfectly unlimited creativity!

Low angle perspective looking upwards along the wall and towards the ceiling, emphasizing the grandeur and height of the reliefs and incised hieroglyphs carved into the stone walls.
Above the walls, a vibrant blue ceiling with horizontal bands, represent a starry blue sky. The blue paint shows signs of age and wear. The vibrant 'Egyptian blue', the first synthetic pigment created by humans symbolized the sky and the primordial waters of creation, crucial elements in Egyptian cosmology. .
