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!

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.

Interior with a ceiling view, at the Grandmaster's Palace in Valletta (officially known as The Palace), which once housed the Grandmaster of the Order of St. John, and now is the home for the Maltese President (well, not literally, the official residence for the president is outside of Valletta). The red flags with the white cross (which you will see quite a lot of in Malta) are NOT the Danish flag, but the flag of the Order of St. John.
The construction of the palace begun in 1574, but the place saw substantial renovation work when Manuel Pinto da Fonseca became Gransmaster in 1741 - and the current look of the palace owes much to him.

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.
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!

Taken from the Glenn Highway. One of the most spectacular drives I've had the pleasure to drive. Smiles by the miles.
Enjoy a wonderful Wednesday!
