One of the most beautiful gorges of Austria begins in Imst, one of the largest cities of Tyrol. The Schinderbach river thunders and roars across the 2 km long Rosengartenschlucht gorge, in which for centuries a year-long struggle between water and rocks has been taking place. This beautiful gorge begins close to the centre of Imst at the Johannes church. On your way to the gorge you can see several residential houses, which are built into the rock faces of the gorge - an astonishing sight. Further on the gorge, which is delimited by a 100 m high rock face, becomes more and more narrow. By walking on you will reach the Blue Grotto, a little cavern, in which already in Roman times people have been searching for argentiferous stones. From the Blue Grotto you can reach Hoch-Imst. The Rosengartenschlucht gorge is one of the most worthwhile biotopes of Tyrol. Particularly for geologists the gorge is a real treasure chest, as it reflects millions of years of history of earth. Furthermore the gorge is rich in flowers, animals and various stones. The moist climate facilitates the growth of a great variety of ferns and mosses. This natural monument is a perfect destination for a trip with your family. A walk throughout the gorge and back will take you about three hours. Please consider that the gorge is not accessible in winter.
Imst, is a beautiful town in western Tirol. Here you will find a wonderful gorge that gushes with cascades and roars with waterfalls. The hike begins in the middle of town near a centuries old church, within minutes you will pass a series of catwalks and footbridges while exploring this rugged landscape. The actual hike is not too difficult, but there are several areas where the trail is very steep while other sections have low overhangs. Expect a 250 m elevation gain while exploring the 1.5 km long gorge.
De Rosengartenschlucht is een smalle kloof waardoor de wildstromende Schinderbach zich naar beneden stort door het middelgebergte van Imst en stroomt naar de Pigerbach. Op slechts enkele minuten wandelafstand van het historische stadscentrum van Imst ligt een prachtige kloof in een natuurrijke omgeving. Ook wel bekend als een van de mooiste kloven van Oostenrijk.Een prachtige maar korte Schlucht-wandeling hebben we kunnen verlengen tot een mooie rondwandeling met veel hoogtepunten. Geen zware route, maar in de kloof, goed aangelegd met trappen en bruggen, moeten over korte afstand wel relatief veel hoogtemeters worden gemaakt. Verder bestaat de wandeling uit goed tot zeer goed begaanbare wegen en paadjes, dat maakt deze route voor iedereen eenvoudig haalbaar. Wie daarnaast ook nog een kijkje in de Blaue Grotte wil nemen, zal toch even op de hurken moeten om daar in te komen. In de grotten zelf kunnen we wel weer staan. Bij invallend licht zou dit water blauw op moeten lichten waaraan de Blaue Grotte zijn naam ontleent. De wandeling begint vanuit het stadje Imst in het Oberinntal aan de Johannesplatz bij de Johanneskirche. De Rosengartenschlucht is geen lange kloof zoals we elders wel eens hebben gezien, slechts 1,5km en 200 hoogtemeters, maar deze is wel heel spectaculair. Vooral in het laatste deel is de Rosengartenschlucht heel smal en zijn er soms tunnels om verder te kunnen komen. Het donderend geraas van het vallende water, nu nog heftiger daar het gisteren flink heeft geregend, klinkt in het smalste stuk oorverdovend. Het pad omlaag is werkelijk prachtig. Overal leuke kapelletjes en mooie uitzichten over de stad. We lopen dan ter hoogte van de torenspits van de Johanneskirche. Het laatste stukje wordt afgedaald via een brede trap tot op een hooggelegen terras achter de Johanneskirche, de kerk waar we de wandeling zijn gestart.
Once I got to the falls I set up in several different locations to see what I liked best. This meant climbing over rocks and setting my tripod up in the stream. Good thing there weren't too many people there yet.

This holy Grotto was built in 1950 on the site of old St John's Church.
It is a very beautiful and peaceful little place in my home town that I believe is rarely photographed and much overlooked nowadays by passers, so I captured this scene as it is a stunning Grotto and deserves a wee bit of recognition as part of our towns history :)
Hope you enjoy! Please Favourite & Follow to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
This photograph was taken during our stay on the Caribbean island of Aruba in 2009. This is the Lourdes Grotto. From a website: The Lourdes Grotto, named in commemoration of the famous French religious landmark, was created under the guidance of a priest named "Erkamp" and parishioners in the year 1958. The grotto, a shrine built into the rocks is located in Seroe Preto, just off the main road to San Nicolas.

I took this snapshot last Friday while relaxing with my friends at a holiday house. It was such an awesome evening and this shot reflects how tranquil it was for me.

I'm going to Thailand for vacation with my family this Saturday. I'm hoping to get some great, Flickr worthy shots. I'm going to try upload as I go, so keep an eye out :).
Over the weekend I was able to go to the GSMNP. Grotto Falls has been one of the waterfalls I have been hankering to go to for quite a while. These falls are as popular as the guide books say they are. When I took this shot there were at least 20 people milling around the falls.
This is The Grotto. Its where Kennedy Creek begins, exiting the mountain and starting its meandering course through the boreal forest towards Atlin Lake. I've been coming to visit this spot since I was 13 years old. It's a special place. On this occasion, it was raining pretty hard while I was there which just added to the atmosphere, making the visit that much better.

Yungang Grottoes - Datong
At the museum
The Yungang Grottoes, (Wuzhoushan Grottoes in ancient time) are ancient Chinese Buddhist temple grottoes near the city of Datong in the province of Shanxi. They are excellent examples of rock-cut architecture and one of the three most famous ancient Buddhist sculptural sites of China. The others are Longmen and Mogao.
The site is located about 16 km west of the city of Datong, in the valley of the Shi Li river at the base of the Wuzhou Shan mountains. They are an outstanding example of the Chinese stone carvings from the 5th and 6th centuries. All together, the site is composed of 252 grottoes with more than 51,000 Buddha statues and statuettes.
In 2001, the Yungang Grottoes were made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Yungang Grottoes are considered by UNESCO to be a "masterpiece of early Chinese Buddhist cave art... [and] ...represent the successful fusion of Buddhist religious symbolic art from south and central Asia with Chinese cultural traditions, starting in the 5th century CE under Imperial auspices." It is classified as a AAAAA scenic area by the China National Tourism Administration.

Datong Yungang Grottoes
The three main sites in China that are famous for their stone sculpture are Gansu Province Dunhuang, Luoyang Longmen and Datong Yungang. Among these, the Yungang grottoes are considered the first among equals, for their tremendous size, their ancient history and their relatively complete state of presenvation. In 1961, the State Council of China declared this a National Key Cultural Relics Protected Unit and in 2001 the stie was listed as a World Cultual Heritage Site.
With their 252 caves and 51,000 status, the Yungang cave art represent the successful fusion of Buddhist religious symbolic art from south and central Asian with Chinese cultural traditions, starting in the 5th century CE under Imperial auspices. The power and endurance of Buddhist belief in China are vividly illustrated by the Yungang gottoes.
The caves can be divided into 3 phases: cave 20 is one of the five earliest caves of monk Tan Yao, house of the sitting statue of Sakyamuni, which is 13.7 meters high, with a full and round face, majestic smile, slim up and a high nose, ears that extend almost to the shoulders, radiant eyes, and broad shoulders. It is the representative of the Buddha sculptures of the Yungang Grottoes.

Grotto Falls up Payson Canyon, UT along the Nebo Loop Drive
7-12-2013. It's just a teeny tiny waterfall and probably looks less impressive in person.
Just a note, I noted the EXIF data is showing up as 1/10 sec. which is not actually the case. The image was stitched and blended together and exposures varied from 1/180th a second for the upper trees to 3 seconds for the waterfall flow itself. f/ stops varied from f/8 to f/22, circular polarizing filter
