According to the GSMNP website, Newfound Gap Road between Gatlinburg, Tennessee and Cherokee, North Carolina "is the only route that completely traverses the Great Smoky Mountains National Park." Scenic overlooks along this drive offer spectacular views of the Smokies. The overlook at Newfound Gap, where this shot was made, is the highest point along this drive. It is also a place where you can stand on the dividing line between Tennessee and North Carolina.

Taken along the Wicklow Gap near Glendalough, Wicklow, Ireland. The winter sun was beginning to go down throwing a shadow on the hillside to the right and leaving the valley below in poor light. I used a Lee .3 Graduated ND Filter to balance the sky.

Birling Gap is a coastal hamlet within the parish. It is situated on the Seven Sisters not far from Beachy Head and is owned by the National Trust. Coastal erosion has already removed some of the row of coastguard cottages built in 1878, but those that remain are still inhabited. There is a cafe, shop and visitor centre run by National Trust and a metal staircase leading down to the enclosed pebble beach and the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs. In time, the houses are likely to be demolished due to the severe coastal erosion; the Government has concluded that the commercial value of the houses does not justify the construction of sea defences. If walkers are cut off at high tide, they can climb the ladder, which is replaced often, to Birling Gap.
The bridge will get you from point A to point B by going over the obstacle. If you find yourself knee deep then you missed the turn. You can see the alterations I have done going to an abstract but the part you do not see is there was a huge stick that poked up in the middle of the shot and ruined the bridge, in abstract it was quiet easy to erase the stick and bridge the gap in the bridge, hope you enjoy the spring crossover!
Havinng a splashing time celebrating my umpteenth bath day in the company of my eldest granddaughter, back in 2004. Of course there were no masks in those "happy days".
Tip of the day :
In order to achieve this astonishing effect, you’ll need an olympic-size bathtub with loads of suds (or snow if you're into¹ snow bathing) and you’ll also need a beautiful granddaughter! Now if you happen to be a beautiful granddaughter, then you may be looking for a granddad but, not to worry, they’re two a penny² these days.
The picture was taken by her father who was 'filling the gap', so to speak! I just titivated it a bit and called it mine; so it's not exactly a selfie but every bit as good as. It is therefore signed Kittymax & Son, he took the photo and I salvaged it but don't tell him I said that for heaven's sake!
Zoom right in, on full screen, but don't fall in!
Scroll down the page a little to see the original, patriotic version: Red, White ans Blue! Perhaps a little too patriotic; hence the B&W.
Take great care and many, many thanks for calling,
Colin ...
¹ to be into something = aimer faire quelque chose
² to be two (or ten) a penny = courir les rues

Was so nice to be able to capture some nice mist as the Haar rolled back in again overnight. The start of a large inversion over The Trossachs.
A nice end to the day at Birling Gap. After this shot it all went downhill as the clouds completely obscured the sun.

[PT] Entre ruas, sombras e ficções
Contemplo ruas, pessoas e pedras, entre ficções e esquecimentos, inspirado no poeta, talvez, percebo as sombras dos gestos de outros, a poesia do crepúsculo, um desassossego.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de não sei quê, sombras de gestos feitos por outrem, efeitos encarnados, consequências que sentem.” (Fernando Pessoa, Livro do Desassossego, v.164)
[ES] Entre calles, sombras y ficciones
Contemplo calles, personas y piedras, entre ficciones y olvidos, inspirado en el poeta, quizás, percibo las sombras de los gestos de otros, la poesía del crepúsculo, una inquietud.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de no sé qué, sombras de gestos hechos por otra persona, efectos encarnados, consecuencias que sienten.” (Fernando Pessoa, Libro del desasosiego, v.164)
[ENG] Between streets, shadows and fictions
I contemplate streets, people and stones, between fictions and oblivion, inspired by the poet, perhaps, I perceive the shadows of the gestures of others, the poetry of twilight, a restlessness.
“...we are all equally derived from I don't know what, shadows of gestures made by someone else, embodied effects, consequences they feel.” (Fernando Pessoa, Book of Disquiet, v.164)

The classic view of Sycamore Gap just before sunset. Unfortunately I’ve just read that the tree has been vandalised and chopped down. Such a terrible end for an iconic tree in an iconic location.

Heading back home after a day out walking near Rothbury, we stopped opposite the famous Sycamore Gap tree which had some gorgeous light covering it.

Afternoon sun shines through a gap between the canisters,
The scenic route home last night back across the Wicklow Gap and down toward Laragh. Beautiful evening for the drive with a few stops along the way.
The high-rise building on Kasernenstraße in Düsseldorf, right next to the restaurant ‘ALEX’, is called GAP 15. It is a modern office complex consisting of a high-rise building and a low-rise building.
Ouverte au pied des anciens remparts de la cité, cette rue s'appela d'abord Rue Neuve jusqu'en 1894 avant de prendre le nom du président venu en 1890. Le siège de plusieurs banques, la Chambre de Commerce et de l'Industrie, la Poste Centrale, les façades soignées ainsi que les portes ouvragées indiquent que cette artère principale possède une vocation commerçante qui ne s'est jamais démentie. Sa rénovation en 1991, d'inspiration moderne, accorde une place importante aux piétons.
