To look at this one of Norway's most famous waterfalls at the top cliff point, you have to drive on the old road, making 125 sharp turns.

And sleeves of the waterfall twisting down through the rocks on the background of swirling mists above the gorges of the Mabodalen ridge.

Там, где петляют водопады

Чтобы взглянуть на этот один из самых знаменитых водопадов Норвегии с верхней точки у обрыва, надо проехать по старой дороге, делающей 125 крутых поворотов.

Да и рукава водопада петляют по крутым скальным склонам на фоне клубящихся туманов над ущельями горного массива Мобедален.

The Most Popular Tunnel in Bangkok, the developer invested over 300 million baht (USD 8,731,083) in this tunnel. The length of the tunnel is 120-metre underground connecting the Samyan MRT Station to Samyan MitrTown Shopping Mall.

The tunnel is designed with glass lining to show the external finishing work and that is the reason why so many locals taking photos and videos here.

The Teatre Lliure in Barcelona is one of Spain's most important creative and exhibition centres. It is a member of the mitos21 European network of public theatres.

The Lliure's objectives today fall within four areas: the stage, the digital stage, cultural action and educational action.

They are all linked by a commitment to society and the community, and the engagement with the city is combined with a national and international profile; contemporary creativity in hybrid formats, highlighting the timeless value of the performing arts as a whole. Making theatre accessible to all audiences goes hand in hand with managing an institution within the framework of the new parameters of economic and environmental sustainability, as it is about to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.

The Teatre Lliure Was founded as a cooperative in 1976 by a group of artists led by Fabià Puigserver, and is now a private foundation, in which the following public authorities have a shareholding: Barcelona City Council, Barcelona Provincial Council, the Government of Catalonia and the Spanish Ministry of Culture.

Most Świętokrzyski – pierwszy most wantowy w Warszawie na Wiśle otwarty 6 października 2000 roku, łączący Powiśle z Pragą-Północ w okolicach Portu Praskiego.

Budowa mostu trwała 2 lata, a całkowity koszt zamknął się w kwocie ok. 160 mln. zł.

The Świętokrzyski Bridge is a bridge over the Vistula river in Warsaw, Poland linking Powiśle neighbourhood with Praga Północ district.

It is a cable-stayed bridge, 479 m long, with two lanes for vehicles, a pavement and a cycle path each way. The single tower, 90 m high, located on the right (eastern) river bank, has 48 cables attached supporting the deck. Near the left (western) bank the bridge is supported by two piers. The bridge was opened on 6 October 2000 after two years' construction. (wiki)

The most iconic structure in all of Marken is certainly the so-called Paard van Marken ("Horse of Marken"), a monumental lighthouse that rises from the easternmost point of the peninsula; the current structure dates from 1839. The peculiar name stems from its shape, which consists of a 54-ft. (16m) tower attached to two pyramidal-roofed houses. Since the Paard van Marken is now a private residence, it is closed to the public.

Kuznetsky Most is one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in the historical center of Moscow.

The street got its modern - and at the same time historical - name thanks to the Kuznetsky Bridge across the Neglinnaya River. Today, Kuznetsky Most Street attracts citizens with its high-quality landscaping, an abundance of architectural monuments and an unusual relief: due to the significant difference in heights between Petrovka and Rozhdestvenka, the city landscape looks especially picturesque.

Kuznetskaya Sloboda on the high bank of the Neglinnaya River - Neglinnaya Upper - appeared in the 12th century, but its heyday came only at the end of the 15th, when the Cannon Yard was built in the vicinity, and the Moscow prince Ivan III ordered to settle in it blacksmiths and grooms who served new production. At the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, Novgorod and Pskov were annexed to the Moscow principality, and craftsmen of various professions from these cities were moved to the Neglinny Upper.

In 1737, the street burned out during the Trinity fire, but rather quickly new buildings were built on it, in which foreign shops began to be located. Gradually, the street turned into the abode of foreign trade: the French showed particular zeal, opening fashion and haberdashery shops here, thanks to which Kuznetsky Most became the main shopping street in Moscow. During World War II and the fire of 1812, it practically did not suffer from the fire, since the French guard took over the protection of the business of compatriots. After the war, trade flourished again, and many fashionable shops were opened on it (almost all of them were foreign, most of them were French). The abundance of foreign shops made Kuznetsky Most the most fashionable and aristocratic street in Moscow, which it remained until the 1917 Revolution.

During the Soviet era, the street lost part of the historical buildings, many buildings were rebuilt, and the street gradually took on a modern look.

After the reconstruction carried out in 2012, the Kuznetsky Most section from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Rozhdestvenka became pedestrian.

Today Kuznetsky Most Street is a well-maintained pedestrian zone, where city holidays and festivals are often held.

Despite the losses of the Soviet years, a large number of architectural monuments have been preserved on it: tenement houses, partially preserved city estates and passages. Among them are famous Moscow sights: the building of the Moscow International Trade Bank, Khomyakov's trading house and others.

Most beautiful time of the year!

Most of the year this tributary of the River Thames is little more than a large ditch, yet is already building up to its annual winter flood of surrounding fields.

Like most of Galapagos, Sombrero Chino (Chinese Hat) is volcanic in origin. The exploration path starts with a gorgeous beach, bright red Sally Lightfoot crabs and marine iguanas. The path goes past a colony of endemic Galapagos sea lions before passing a lava field: look for the lava cactus growing in the cracks. On the beach, keep your eyes open for the American Oystercatcher, a wading bird with a distinctive orange beak. On the trail, you may see lava lizards.

Most of my free time was in the mountains recently. :)))

Most of the leaves are gone in the Pacific Northwest but a few trees retain their color late into November.

The Flame-faced Tanager is one of the most spectacular members of the diverse and exceptionally colorful genus Tangara. Living up to its common name, the forehead begins as a deep glimmering red, shading into a brilliant yellow on the nape and sides of the head. This "flame" contrasts sharply with the jet black back. The Flame-faced Tanager is a common member in mixed species foraging flocks in the canopy of humid montane forest from the Andes of extreme southwest Venezuela south to central Peru. It forages exclusively along mossy branches and occasionally peering at the underside in search of arthropods. There are three subspecies of the Flame-faced Tanager, described based mostly on minor differences in plumage. The species is typically found from 1000-2600 m and is most numerous above 1500 m. The IUCN Red list assesses the Flame-faced Tanager as a species of Least Concern; however, the population size is declining due to habitat destruction. Thus, the Flame-faced Tanager should become the focus of future studies.

Have a Peaceful Saturday!

Most people perceive darkness as negative. however, i feel safe in the dark. Not everyone can see right through you. You can observe from the dark without being noticed. Thus you recognize the truth from the darkness. And even if it hurts. The truth is positive.

Blue-gray gnatcatchers are, without a doubt, one of the most special and entertaining birds the US has to offer. With a pretty sky-blue back contrasting with a paler shade of blue, along with white and black, they boast what I think is one of the more underrated color combinations when it comes to Neotropical migrants, and I’m sure they know it because they sure like to flip those tails around (kidding, that’s a foraging technique). That isn’t the only thing about them that’s underrated; males are pretty great songsters too, emitting an intricate series of what is both their own little babbles and little phrases of other species songs. I even found yesterday that they are able to mimic new vocalizations on the spot. Unfortunately, these guys have the luck of returning earlier than the warblers, and they only get two weeks of fame before what many people consider the real show falls upon our forests. That’s okay, though- they get right to pairing up and nest-building and have fledged young by the end of June, so I think they couldn’t care less about how much attention we pay to them.

The most spectacular of all birds of prey?

The largest of the Falcons and of course the fastest animal on the planet it's definitely a contender

For me (of the ones I've actually seen) the Red Kite still 'edges' it..,but never the less this is one very special bird

the most precisely articulated national purpose in recorded history. Not only is it a famous statement of purpose: it is also an admirable statement of purpose. Prior to July 4, 1776, the national purpose of nations had been to dominate... The American national purpose was the opposite: to liberate from domination; to set men free. All men are created equal.

We not only have a national purpose; we have one of such aspiration, such potentiality, such power of hope that we refer to it — or used to — as the American Dream :-)

The robin is one of the most familiar birds of the UK, regularly visiting gardens. Robins are also common in parks, scrub and woodland, making their presence known with a loud, territorial song. They sing from prominent perches right through the winter, when both males and females hold territories; indeed, they are fiercely territorial, driving off intruders and even fighting. During the breeding season, the female is allowed into the male's territory where she sets up a nest of dead leaves, moss and hair. Nests often crop up in the oddest of places, such as plant pots, old wellies and shelves, but Ivy and other shrubs are their natural choice. Robins have been associated with Christmas ever since Victorian times; Victorian postmen, who were known as 'Robin Red-breasts' because of their red waistcoats, are thought to be the inspiration for so many robins appearing on our Christmas cards. Whether it's the case or not, robins certainly make themselves known in winter with their loud, aggressive song!

Since most migrant waterfowl have moved north of Iowa now, chances are very good that this trumpeter swan pair will be nesting right here at Cardinal Marsh this year. This would be the fourth year in row for trumpeter swans to stay here and nest for the summer following a long and sad 150 year hiatus as they were hunted to the brink of extinction during the pioneer era.

Most often you need lots of lens to capture good wildlife images, trying to get close without disturbing the subject. But occasionally the bird surprises you and comes too close. We were trying to photograph this secretive Least Bittern at some distance, while it hid in the tall grass. It suddenly flew towards us and landed in a nearby tree. As a hardened photographer I should have removed my teleconverter, but alas I panicked and only got a head shot. I'll take it though.

Perhaps the most famous view with Prague Castle and the St Vitus Cathedral on the hill. My first attempt at a blue hour shot, only heard about it a few months ago, still not used a tripod. This was taken from a river side restaurant, every table was taken by 5.00 pm.

Then as the sky darkened, cameras came out & you could not move or see the bridge for all the people, tripods & selfie shooters.

Great watching the more professional photographers with their multiple shots,long exposures & different filters.

One even felt sorry for me, looking at my expensive camera balanced on railings, he offer the use of his tripod, too late already taken this, not bad for a first attempt

Most of the dogs we saw in Cuba appeared not to be pets. This cute little fella sitting under the butcher's counter communicated such a feeling of pathos. If I could have brought him home, I would have.

Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.

This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.

The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.

In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.

While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.

I took this on Sept 10th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 15 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO
