This is the road from Glasshouses to Dacre Banks, near Glasshouses Bridge in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, England
Records about Glasshouses stretch as far back as 1386 and the name of the village is believed to have derived from the Old English Glas Hus, which translates as the place where glass was made. Whilst there is no firm evidence of this, it was believed that glass for Fountains Abbey was made here
Glasshouse Mountains, just north of Brisbane, on the aptly named Sunshine Coast, as seen from the port side of Pacific Dawn, at sunset.
The end of our first day.
The second shot on sunset as the colour changed dramatically!
The rocks you are looking at here are incomprehensibly ancient. According to the Geological Society of Australia, Narooma Chert (the dark material in the Glasshouse Rocks, which is hard, fine-grained sedimentary rock) was deposited on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean over a period of 50 million years from around 490 million years ago!!!!!

...zeigt sich das nationale Geschichtsmuseum in der Hauptstadt.
Der Konzeption eines Deutschen Historischen Museums mit dieser Zielsetzung war eine hitzige kultur- und geschichtspolitische Debatte vorausgegangen. Über Sinn, Auftrag, Zweck und Chancen eines Museums für die deutsche Geschichte im internationalen Kontext gab es unterschiedlichste Auffassungen unter Fachgelehrten, Politikern und Medien.
Neben dem Zeughaus - einem 300 Jahre alten barocken Hauptgebäude, was seit 1987 die Zeitzeugnisse der wechselvollen deutschen Geschichte beherbergt, eröffnete im Jahr 2003 die moderne Ausstellungshalle des chinesisch-amerikanischen Architekten I.M. Pei.

The view from Maleny looking across to the Glasshouse Mountains late in the afternoon as the sun goes down....with a little help from the dehaze tool in Photoshop.
This is another view from the park at Scarborough, Queensland where last week I was looking out at a glassy sea on a silvery day. Turning left or north west from that vantage point, we look across Deception Bay, and inlet of greater Moreton Bay towards the Glasshouse Mountains named by Captain Cook in 1770. These mountains are remnant volcanic plugs of an ancient giant shield volcano, mostly eroded away to their hard cores. This makes the region exceptionally fertile - think pineapples, avocados, strawberries and macadamias.
The walkers are on the mainland end of a very long and narrow spit that curves round to the right to some small rocky outcrops, almost mini islands in Moreton Bay revealed at very low tide.
Glasshouse Rocks Narooma Beach NSW Australia
How could you imagine this to be seen off the end of a golf course and also a wonderful clean beach ? The little coastal town of Narooma has it's own natural brand of spectacular !
Thursday afternoon was magic, despite the clouds or because of them. 40 minutes after this shot, at the close, it was completely gold but in the car in busy traffic I missed it. This wide shot is taken from Shorncliffe in Brisbane looking across Bramble Bay, which is a little pool in the larger Moreton Bay (Marine Park) towards Captain Cook’s Glasshouse Mountains. Way over on the horizon, they are about half way between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
Just north of Brisbane lie the dramatic Glasshouse Mountains - 13 ancient volcanic cores of a chain of volcanoes which were active some 26 million years ago.
In the image, from left - Mts Ngungun, Tibrogargan, Tibberoowuccum, Coonowrin, and Beerwah.
Whilst the traditional names for the hills themselves are very old, the term 'Glasshouse Mountains' was given more recently by explorer Lieutenant James Cook on 17 May 1770.
The peaks reminded him of the glass furnaces in his home county of Yorkshire.
Looking towards the Glasshouse Mountains from the Maleny Botanic Gardens and Birdworld, Maleny, Queensland. Happy Bench Monday.
This was from a few weeks ago on the Sunshine Coast. There were no clouds in the sky so it was pretty boring, so added this sky through Luminar AI.
I process my photos with Lightroom as well as Skylum's Luminar and find it easy to use with great results. Here is a link if anyone is interested in trying it out and with a $US10 discount: skylum.grsm.io/janetteasche8660
Today we revisited the 10-sided Woolbeding 'kinetic' Glasshouse, set in the Silk Route Garden and were able to see it, on a hot day, open in 4 minutes.

WE couldn't go inside, and it wasn't as full as usual, but it was nice to see this through the damaged window!
Roof of one of the glasshouses in the iconic Wintergardens in Auckland. There are two barrel-vaulted Victorian style glass houses in the complex. Fascinating structures and lines. I rediscovered this image when installing the Peakto application. It trawled through my hard drives for long forgotten images. Exciting.
The glasshouse at RHS Wisley during the Glow event ( which will last just into the new year ) . The glasshouse is brightly lit inside and you can walk through the plants inside bathed in light . There is a shot by David on flickr with the light reflecting on the water that surrounds the glasshouse . Unfortunately on my visit there was enough breeze to disturb the surface of the water and any reflections were not to be had in any detail .
A little light music to trip to
Or, the photographer behind the waterfall shouldn't criticise the one in front of it. A scene in the glasshouse of RHS Wisley Gardens in Surrey.

gratitude for all visits to my photostream
I went with a mate to Wisley to capture the autumn colours but these reflections of the glasshouse really caught my attention.
