For most travellers to Far-West Tibet (Ngari) in Purang county, the prime focus of their journey is the sacred peak of Mount Kailash (6714 m), Tibetan name is Gang Ti Se. This extraordinary mountain is regarded as the `heart of the world`, the àxis mundi`,the centre of Asia, by Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and followers of other spiritual traditions. Of all the special destinations for the traveller to reach, Mount Kailash is surely one of the most sublime and sacred. Its geographical position as the watershed of South Asia is unique and it is this which gives it a cosmic geomantic power. From its slopes flow four great rivers in the four cardinal directions - the Senge Tsangpo སེང་གཙང་པོ་ (Indus River) north, the Yarlung Tsangpo ཡར་ཀླུངས་གཙང་པོ་ (Brahmaputra) east, Karnali south into the Ganges གང་ག་, and the Langchen Tsangpo གཙང་པོ་ ( Sutlej River) west.
Mount Kailash itself is known in the Tibetan language as Gang Ti-se and informally as Gang Rinpoche ("Precious Snow Mountain"), to the Bon as Yungdrung Gutsek ("Nine stacked Svastikas").
Plant ornament is the most widespread ornament after geometric, it is characterized by its favorite motifs, and the latter are different in different countries, at different times. Plant ornament, in comparison with other types, provides the greatest opportunities for creating a variety of motifs, execution techniques, for an original interpretation of form. Plant ornament uses numerous forms of plants: leaves, flowers, fruits, taken together or separately. This is an artistic reworking of various forms of the plant world. In the hands of an ornamental artist, the original forms, scales, colors change and are subordinated according to the laws of symmetry. In stylization, all typical features of the plant are enhanced in accordance with its character, and the particular or accidental are removed or weakened. Often these changes are so significant that the original material is transformed beyond recognition. The most common plant forms since ancient times include: acanthus, lotus, papyrus, palms, hops, laurel, grapevine, ivy, oak.

Рослинний орнамент - це найпоширеніший орнамент після геометричного, для нього характерні свої улюблені мотиви, причому останні різні в різних країнах, у різні часи. Рослинний орнамент у порівнянні з іншими його видами надає найбільші можливості для створення різноманітних мотивів, прийомів виконання, для оригінального трактування форми.
Рослинний орнамент використовує численні форми рослин: листя, квіти, плоди, взяті разом чи окремо. Це художня переробка різноманітних форм рослинного світу. У руках художника-орнаменталіста початкові форми, масштаби, колір змінюються і підпорядковуються за законами симетрії.
При стилізації посилюються відповідно до характеру рослини всі типові особливості її та видаляється або послаблюється окреме або випадкове. Часто ці зміни настільки значні, що початковий матеріал перетворюється до невпізнанності.
До найпоширеніших рослинних форм з найдавніших часів відносяться: акант, лотос, папірус, пальми, хміль, лавр, виноградна лоза, плющ, дуб.
Among Kraków’s most well-known landmarks, this sculpture in the western corner of the market square is a popular meeting place and at some point serves as a photographic backdrop for almost every tourist who visits the city.
Affectionately referred to as ‘The Head’, the bronze body part’s official title is ‘Eros Bendato’ (Eros Bound) and is the work of Polish artist Igor Mitoraj (1944 - 2014).
A student of Tadeusz Kantor at the Kraków School of Art, an exhibition of 14 of Mitoraj’s monumental works dressed the Rynek from Oct 17, 2003 to Jan 25, 2004, during which the artist gifted this work to the city, sparking controversy over what to do with it. Initially, the sculpture was designated for the square in front of Galeria Krakowska, but the artist was indignant about having his work in front of a commercial building.
Despite protest from historians and many locals, the sculpture eventually found its current place near the Town Hall Tower, where it has become an unexpected tourist attraction.

The viktoria view and the king's chair are probably the most famous and highest rocks on Rügen. A hike there is not only worthwhile because of that. UNESCO ennobled the quaint old beech forests in the heart of the national park as a world heritage.
I used this moment of the brief “calmer sea” for this photo. Water is one of my favorite models. I have always found the diverse representation from roaring to still and the respective reflections exciting and fascinating at the same time.

Most people who photograph birds have one or two species that seem to elude photography - even when they are not uncommon to see. Such is my relationship to the Black and White Warbler. It is present every spring during northbound migration in our area, for a few weeks, and again in the fall. I love seeing them and somehow they defy my attempts at photography.
This female was bouncing along right-side-up and upside-down on the interior of a coniferous tree. She was scouting out the insects hiding from the late summer heat. You can see the antennae of the insect she ultimately caught and consumed poking out from the bottom of the branch. She snatched the insect and disappeared.
A friend and bird expert thinks of the species as similar to Nuthatches but sped up considerably. That works for me.
most mornings I start on our deck (whatever the weather) with a coffee and my iPhone - this was last Wednesday, 7:10 am.
Most yellow-rumped warblers will be departing the Driftless Region this week as we are expecting temperatures to plummet after tomorrow and that's not the kind of weather these warblers like.
The most popular outdoor spa in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon, which is actually man-made. It uses mineral-rich water from the nearby geothermal power plants where superheated water from far underground is used to run turbines that generate electricity. The milky blue shade colour comes from the water's high silica content and the temperature is just right around 38oC (100oF).

Train travel is often considered the most civilised mode of transportation because it combines comfort, efficiency, and environmental friendliness in a uniquely human way. Unlike cramped air planes or stressful car journeys, trains offer spacious seating, freedom to move around, and the opportunity to relax, read, or work while watching the landscape unfold. The rhythmic motion and quiet hum encourage reflection and conversation, fostering a sense of calm rarely found in modern travel. Moreover, trains connect city centres directly, avoiding the chaos of airports and long security lines, making the entire experience more dignified and enjoyable.

Most mornings when we were in Darwin over Christmas/New Year, we walked along Casuarina Beach where it looked different every day.
Most railfans know while in the mountains late in the evenings it can be a difficult time trying to find sunlight. If you do come across one of those spots that does have light on a late spring evening it can be totally worth it. Mixed freight Q693 passes under the only C&O signal bridge on the Big Sandy Subdivision at Bobb’s in some sweet evening light.
A message from Charlie...good advice. :) Most of the porch furniture is in the garage for the winter...he knows it's getting serious.
Most of my pictures are taken in and around the city of Molde, in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

Most backyard birds are surprisingly small, but when I tell people that our Brown-headed nuthatches are small, I don't think they really understand just how small. The black oil sunflower seed, seen here in his beak, isn't even a half in long.
Overall in size, they're about halfway between a Ruby-throated hummingbird, and a Black-capped chickadee. They average a little less that four inches (100mm) long, beak to tail, and run about 1/3 of an ounce (9.5g) in weight.
The openings in the suet cage in the first pic are roughly 3/4 of an in (19mm).
Most of my help these days love Tessa. Here are two them fawning over her including my cat-loving neighbour.
Most common Hawaiian Honeycreeper on the island of Kauai. They love to feed on the nectar of Ohia tree flowers. They make a notable wing flutter when they fly. I miss hearing it in the forest.

This is a 1953 Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook, that my mother received as a wedding present...and I still use it today. The pages are dirty, torn and falling out, but I think it's the most beautiful book on the shelf.

Most Green Sandpipers are seen during their autumn migration, when they are passing through Britain on journeys from Scandinavia to their African wintering grounds.
They enjoy the clear chalk waters of south-east England, often using old water-cress beds or small ditches, and it is here that a few individuals may choose to spend the winter instead of moving south. An encounter with a Green Sandpiper is often a fleeting view of a dark bird with a white rump, dashing away and making a thin repeated whistle.
Very small numbers of Green Sandpipers breed in northern Scotland, using habitats similar to the tundra more typically used further north.
Witnessing the magic of golden hour at one of the Pacific Northwest’s most breathtaking beaches was just stunning.
Most damselflies perch with their wings folded against their abdomens, but the spreadwing is obviously different and gave the namers something to focus on. Which leaves me guessing about the lyre-tip unless they play lute in the off season. Meanwhile, I'd like to thank this one for perching in front of what became a blurred green leaf behind the wings.
Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think theyre o.k.
If they dont give me proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead
But they cant see the light, thats right
cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always mister right,
Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl...
