Hudson Yards Vessel - NYC - USA. 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs -- almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings -- the vertical climb offers remarkable views of the city, the river and beyond.
A panoramic view of this magnificent landscape. A wonderful moment in time.
Thank you for your comments, have a wonderful weekend.

The church contains over 7500 square meters of mosaics, more than any other church in the world. The intricately detailed mosaics depict biblical scenes and figures, with the fine patterned borders setting off each picture. An elaborate shrine was constructed on the exact place of the Tsar Alexander's death, garnished with topaz, lazurite and other semi-precious stones.
The interior was designed by some of the most celebrated Russian artists of the day, including Victor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Nesterov and Mikhail Vrubel.

Thanks to everyone who has visited.
I appreciate very much the kind comments and faves which have been left.
The story of autumn?... Will you tell me about the leaves that dance? (and the girl remembered how she imagined the leaves dancing in the sunset)
Of course I will... and of clouds that bring rain and cold... (whispered the wind)
And then we go back to the story of the old lady? (asked the little girl)
Hahaha... that's the same story... (laughed the wind)
It has clouds, it has rain and dancing leaves... and mist... (whispered more the wind)...
Mist? What is mist?... (asked the curious girl)... It sounds so mysterious... (continued the girl)

I had to stack my 10+16+21mm macro rings to get close enough and reveal the fabulous structure of this feather.
The background is a block of cork.
Satyagrahies marching on their way to Dandi to break the salt tax.
Gandhi called his overall method of non-violent action "Satyagrah".
We need to remember we are not the center of the universe, nor of our planet .
Our most important task and responsibility is to protect the intricate ecosystem of which we are just a small part.
The natural world is breathtakingly beautiful but also dreadfully fragile and endangered.

Enjoying a few days on Flickr - hydrangeas never cease to amaze me when they are in their colourful flowers and even when they have faded.

Hope you are all having a great week.....

No wonder orchids have become so popular. Once considered difficult to keep, I now have two that seem to be happy in their current position.
I love the intricate composition and have taken many macro shots of the interior, but as this one was illuminated in the morning sunlight coming through the window, I could see an angel emerging.

Dominik (my photo-buddy) and I tried a session of light painting and this was one of the results. Thank you David for the inspiration. www.flickr.com/photos/55740718@N03/
One summer morning after a heavy dew fell overnight, I spotted this intricate spider web. It was woven on and around some rhododendron leaves. The first thing I thought of was that the web and leaves were shaped just like a sailboat.
This Pictish cross-slab, with its wonderfully intricate carvings (I love the sea horses on the lower right, complete with tails AND hooves!) dates to approx. mid 9th century. There is also a wonderful battle scene on the reverse - but I was shooting directly into the sun. Well worth a visit! There are also three roadside symbol stones on the road through Aberlemno which are very well worth seeing. Note though that all four stones are covered between October and April to avoid winter weather damage.
Found this old jewel box in one my cupboards . The patterns and inlays are slowly peeling off but the work is still exquisite.
Took the photo in bright sunlight. on a white background .
The design and pattern on this box is found in many traditional and ancient Indian items.
