Displaying jewelry on fruit or in this case a nut (many people call coconut a fruit, but it is not) may seem curious or peculiar. However, I think the dichotomy provided by the hardness of one versus the softness of the other provides an element of interest that would not be evident if the piece were displayed alone.
In this instance as well, the coconut's shape and the fact that it is the essence of life of the coconut palm auguments the symbolism provided by the cross.
One of my favorite geysers in Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin.
Wish I would have caught it spouting away....
"Grotto Geyser is the namesake for the group of geysers that includes Grotto Fountain Geyser, South Grotto Fountain Geyser, Indicator Spring, Spa Geyser, and Rocket Geyser.
On September 18, 1870 members of the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition entered the Upper Geyser Basin where in a day and a half of exploration, they named seven geysers of which Grotto was one. Nathaniel P. Langford described the Grotto in his 1871 Scribner's account:
"The Grotto" was so named from its singular crater of vitrified sinter, full of large, sinuous apertures. Through one of these, on our first visit, one of our company crawled to the discharging orifice; and when, a few hours afterwards, he saw a volume of boiling water, four feet in diameter, shooting through, it to the height of sixty feet, and a scalding stream of two hundred inches flowing from the aperture he had entered a short time before, he concluded he had narrowly escaped being summarily cooked. The discharge of this geyser continued for nearly half an hour."

The Blue Grotto refers to a number of sea caverns on the south east coast of Malta, a short distance off the fishermen's harbour of Wied iż-Żurrieq limits of Qrendi, Malta
Grotto Spring, one of the 60 natural springs in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The founders of Eureka Springs were smart enough to make sure the actual springs were preserved, and many of them are part of small parks situated across the city. One of the most interesting is the Grotto Spring, which flows out from under an overhanging rock ledge. In the 1890s, the spring was enclosed behind some ornamental rocks to help protect it during construction of a nearby road. A stone above the entrance is marked with esto perpetua, which declared "the prevailing belief that these healing waters would flow forth forever"
Taken at Powerscourt garden, on our Ireland trip in the summer. The grotto leads into the Japanese Garden, our favourite part of the gardens at Powerscourt.
HTMT!
In the crypt level of the Washington National Cathedral is this little grotto of a chapel. I love the neogothic architecture of this place.
There were two weddings in the church yesterday while we we there, and today they are participating in the Faith Shared project, with Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy, Imam Mohamed Magid and Rabbi Amy M. Schwartzman.
HSS!
Less traditional view of Grotto Falls
According to the National Park Service (www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/grotto-falls.htm), "Trillium Gap Trail meanders through an old-growth hemlock forest and actually runs behind the 25 foot high waterfall. The cool, moist environment near the falls is ideal for salamanders and summer hikers. The hike is 3 miles roundtrip and considered moderate in difficulty."

The Blue Grotto is located on the south coast of Malta, west of Wied iz-Zurrieq. The site got its name from a British soldier, who thought that the area looks like the Grotta Azzurra in Capri and should therefore get the same name. The massive arch at the entrance of the cave is more than 30 meters high.

If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!
This is Hamilton Pool, one of the best kept secrets in Austin. The preserve’s pool and grotto were formed when the dome of an underground river collapsed thousands of years ago. There is a ring of 45-foot waterfalls all around the rim. Flow was light this day, but you can still see a few streams of water coming down.

The well-known Mossy Grotto Falls is the first destination I've managed to shoot in the Gorge this year, and it is far from its most beautiful at the moment. There are signs that spring is around the corner, but for now there are bare rocks, dirt, and plenty of broken branches to enjoy. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Grotto Falls in Centenial Glen -The Grotto Blackeath. I have been wanting to go back to this location to photograph it properly for ages and finally went this morning.

Water automats, grottos, fountains – Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, Markus Sittikus, had a system built in the early 1600s to astonish and entertainhis guests at Hellbrunn Schloss in Salzburg. "Orpheus Grotto" shows Orpheus playing a violin and the sleeping tree nymph Eurydice (she was his wife), the ibex and the lion (the archbishop's heraldic animals) listening to the music of Orpheus. The archbishop had imagination -- he enanced the many grottos with sound made by a mechanism of pipes and waterwheels that drive the sound board of an organ.
