und ein kleiner Regenbogen ist auch dabei
Der wohl bekannteste Wasserfall Islands dürfte der Gullfoss, der Goldene Wasserfall sein. Er liegt im Südwesten des Landes, in der Nähe der heißen Quellen und Geysire des Haukadalur. Über zwei gewaltige, fast im rechten Winkel aufeinanderstehende Kaskaden stürzt das Wasser des Gletscherflusses Hvítá in eine 2,5km lange und 70 m tiefe Schlucht.

Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake is a caldera lake in south-central Oregon in the western United States. It is the main feature of Crater Lake National Park and is famous for its deep blue color and water clarity. The lake partly fills a nearly 2,148-foot (655 m) deep caldera that was formed around 7,700) years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. There are no rivers flowing into or out of the lake; the evaporation is compensated for by rain and snowfall at a rate such that the total amount of water is replaced every 250 years. With a depth of 1,949 feet (594 m), the lake is the deepest in the United States.
Llanddwyn Island (Ynys Llanddwyn) is a magical place. Located at the far end of a pleasant beach near Newborough Warren, this narrow finger of land is an ideal picnic site during fine weather, but also an exhilarating place when the winter winds blow. Its rolling dunes, large rock outcrops and mixture of historic buildings makes it an ideal place for an afternoon of exploration
I had to delete the panorama of Keefer Lake that I posted yesterday ... it prevented me from posting new photos. Anyone putting very wide panoramas on Flickr should be aware that even though it may upload and display it may cause problems with subsequent posts. Thanks to everyone who faved and commented on the photo ... sorry I had to delete the image.
Here is yet another of Keefer Lake - the view from my boat dock taken just prior to sunset.
Cheers!

Arkii island,Aegean Sea, Geece.
Magnificent sight as the sharp, brown rocks are diving into the green-blue sea.
Spirit Island is a tiny island in Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park. Actually, for most of the year it is connected to the shore by a narrow isthmus and not technically an island. Only with heavy spring rains and snow melt does the water level rise enough to cut off the island from the lake shore.
The island is a spiritual place for the Stoney Nakoda First Nation, who believe mountains are physical representations of their ancestors. Spirit Island is surrounded on three sides by the same mountain range, a very rare arrangement which makes it particularly significant to the Stoney.
Spirit Island, Maligne Lake, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. Elevation: 5,570 ft. August 20, 2019.
Island Saddle lies on the Canterbury and Marlborough regional line. It is the highest point of publicly accessed roads in New Zealand. It's 1347m or about 4420 feet.
Winter sunsets take a bit of motivation to brave the cold after the sun has gone down. In this case it was well after sunset... a view of Chantry Island in Lke Huron.
As mentioned on episode 01, Thousand Islands consists of a string of 110 islands stretching 45 km (28 mi) north into the Java Sea at West Jakarta Bay and north of Banten Province. The beauty level of Thousand Islands are vary: not beautiful, mediocre, beautiful, very beautiful, and more. The farther to north, the more beautiful the island become. I've explored some islands of Thousand Islands and this is the northest and most beautiful island of thousands island in my opinion :)
See you next week, or after next week. Have a great weekend my friends :)

Fogo Island, nord-est de Terre-Neuve, Canada ......
Le sentier accroché au flanc de la plus haute colline de l’île semblait ne conduire nulle part tellement il serpentait dans toutes les directions.
Mais parvenu au sommet, un seul coup d’oeil m’a suffi pour comprendre la nature de ce lieu : un monde rude dont le ciel, improbable, s’ouvrait sur l’infini et bien au-delà comme pour me rappeler ma petitesse; un monde dur qui mettait sans cesse à l’épreuve ses habitants, les forçant à faire preuve de résilience depuis l’arrivée des premiers colons français, puis britanniques et irlandais au milieu du 18e siècle.
L’histoire de Fogo Island n’est pas très différente de celle de centaines d’autres communautés de pêcheurs isolés. Mais au contact de ses habitants, j’ai ressenti un intense souffle de vie et de créativité indissociable d’un fort attachement à ce lieu hors du commun. Avec cette image, j’ai voulu leur rendre hommage.
p. s À ceux qui me demanderont d’où vient ce ciel immense, écrasant, aux couleurs du feu, je préciserai que l’Île a d’abord été nommée « Y del Fogo » (ce qui signifie l’Île de feu) par les pêcheurs portugais au 16e siècle....

Fogo Island, North East Newfoundland, Canada
The trail clinging to the highest hill on the island seemed to lead nowhere, so it was meandering in all directions. But once reaching the top, a single glance was enough to understand the nature of this place: a harsh world whose sky, unlikely, was opening to infinity and beyond, as to remind me of my littleness; a harsh world that constantly put to the test its inhabitants, forcing them to prove resilience since the arrival of the first French colonists, then British and Irish in the mid XVIII century.
The story of Fogo Island is not different from the one of the hundreds of other isolated fishing communities; but in contact with its inhabitants, I felt an intense breath of life and creativity inseparable from a strong attachment to this extraordinary place. With this image, I would like to honor them. (Patrice)

Enjoyed paddling out to Rodd Island on the weekend - took my camera with me and got some nice long exposure pictures
If you go to Iceland, I think this is one of the 'must take' photos :-)
Very nice spot, would have liked to stay longer on this incredible island
Sunset on the island of Salt Spring BC. This is a beautiful island and the sunsets were amazing. Such a quiet place to live
Went to walk the river trail, but the woods were too dark. Went to the lake to watch the sunset, but the reflections were more spectacular.
Another trip I made this year was the one to Cape Verde, and another destination I almost forgot. Earlier I posted this shot www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/53532653670/in/album-..., taken from the Monte Gordo mountain on the island of Sao Nicolau, and this shot is also taken there.
It is slightly further uphill, and it shows the view towards the north west. In the distance the islands of Sao Vincente and Sao Nicolau are visible. If you want to travel to these islands from here you need to take a ferry.
