Nature has endowed the relief of this vast rock formation with incredible colors. In Spanish, the Valle del Arcoiris means "Valley of the Rainbow", a name worthy of this grandiose landscape of red, white, yellow and brown cliffs standing out against the blue sky. This emblematic site of San Pedro de Atacama attracts visitors from all over the world to admire its splendid colors.

Le 10 juin 1944, une division SS a incendié le village et massacré tous ses habitants. Les nazis ont tué 642 personnes dont plus de 450 femmes et enfants et ont incendié le village... Ce village est un lieu de mémoire symbole de la barbarie nazie. Marcel Darthout, aujourd'hui décédé, était l'un des derniers rescapés du massacre d'Oradour-Sur-Glane perpétré par la Panzer-Division SS "Das Reich". Il avait 20 ans à l'époque, mais en 2013, au micro de Stéphane Robert, il s'en souvenait comme si c'était hier. Cela s'est passé le 10 juin 1944 en début d'après-midi.

On June 10, 1944, an SS division burned down the village and massacred all its inhabitants. The Nazis killed 642 people, including more than 450 women and children, and set the village on fire ... This village is a place of memory, a symbol of Nazi barbarism. Marcel Darthout, now deceased, was one of the last survivors of the Oradour-Sur-Glane massacre perpetrated by the SS Panzer-Division "Das Reich". He was 20 at the time, but in 2013, at Stéphane Robert's microphone, he remembered it as if it were yesterday. This happened on June 10, 1944 in the early afternoon.

This has obviously been a ruin for some time, considering the size of the trees growing in it. Great location though, right by the Hudson. Plenty of fireplaces.
Although I‘ve been seeing orchid photos from warmer places for a few weeks now, I have spotted our first orchids only today. It’s a rather small sort of flower but it has a wonderful range of colours, from white and very light pink to the darkest shade of purple. The first ones are always special anyway!
It has been quite hot and humid again this afternoon which didn't stop Cleo from going outside whereas Tofu and Sethi both preferred to stay indoors. She has always liked summer and warm weather although this summer almost is too much even for Cleo. There is hope for the next few days, though, as they may be slightly cooler.
It was about 10F outside when I made this image. This is hoarfrost lit by the morning sun in a frozen pond.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to fave, comment or simply view my uploads over the last 12 months - I hope you've enjoyed them and, as always, your time is very much appreciated. Merry Christmas, and my best wishes to you and yours for a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year.
This shot was originally uploaded 9 years ago and captured back in 1976 when I made a day trip down to Reading chasing the fast-disappearing class 52 Westerns. Less than 2 months later they would all be gone and the diesel-hydraulic era, heralded as the modern replacement for steam on the Western Region, would come to an end little more than 11 years after the last steam locomotives ran on these metals.
Thankfully I had film to spare that day and, in frosty and foggy conditions, I captured this image of a 3H class 205 DEMU no. 1130 as it approached one of the bay platforms out of the gloom with a service from Basingstoke. The headcode 66 was correct for this service. No rework was required on this occasion, but I did delete the original upload.

I went to Togoji Temple today.
Spring has come.
The weeping cherry tree was in bloom and the white-eye was dancing.

"Chouchou is a historic location in Second Life. Each of us has visited it at least once, and it enchanted us.
At the point of arrival, water, and an endless horizon seemingly infinite surround you.
When you activate music, it’s magic. The music is original to the authors of the location, more specifically: Juliet Heberle is a vocalist, while Arabesque Choch is a composer. The original music of Chouchou on the official website of the sim: chouchou.cc/music/.
Chouchou is known for its music and for the location of water that inspired many other sites, but it is right to remember that the sim hosts two other exciting spaces in the sky, Islamey, and Memento, accessible by a teleport located at the foot of the staircase that leads to the air.
Also, the authors of the location have made artistic videos of high level, and they are visible on their website at the following link: chouchou.cc/music/, under the heading “music videos.”
Today, reading on Facebook, I learned that Chouchou is in danger of closing down.
Many people are worried about this news because Chouchou is a symbol of Second Life, one of many, of course. However, one of the most significant. I hope that the Linden Lab will accept the invitation to preserve this place that for many Second Life users is a corner of peace, harmony, and therapy to the greyness of everyday life."

La nuit a mille yeux
La noche tiene mil ojos
夜晚有千眼
De nacht heeft duizend ogen
Die Nacht hat tausend Augen
Η νύχτα έχει χιλιάδες μάτια
La notte ha mille occhi
夜には千の目がある
रात में एक हजार आंखें हैं

“I've lived my life walking through a dream
For I knew that I would find this moment supreme
A night of bliss and tender sighs
And the smiling down of a thousand eyes
A night of bliss and tender sighs
And the smiling down of a thousand eyes
The Night has a Thousand Eyes !”

People were suntanning outside even though it's only mid-March. New buds growing along a wall decided to pop out of the ground. My own textures added.

Sky Bridge, lower Manhattan. I love these older sections. My bike was my trusty steed. I park in Brooklyn and take the Brooklyn Bridge, and straight off the ramp and go to my favorite spots.
It has the look of Spring hereabouts now, nothing like the scene above taken in early January this year. The lake, although still frozen solid, is a slippery semi-gloss and mostly bare of snow. However, the possibility of winter showing itself one or two more times gifting us with more snow remains. Happy Easter everyone!

It has been a good summer in Vancouver for Eastern Warblers, a Chestnut-sided, Ovenbird, Tennessee and now a Black-and-white! This bird was first found by Jacky Ip on July 5th and I was happy to relocate it early this morning.
