The historic Stone Store Basin in Kerikeri, NZ. So called as it has some of the most historic buildings in the country: the Stone Store, Kemp House and St James's Church.
This image was taken by the light of a full moon, from over the other side of the river.
There used to be a bridge over at this point, but it was removed a few years ago following two "150 year" floods.

Trevor Nation's autographed Rotary Norton, when it was fired up for the parade lap it sounded fabulous. Dundrod Ulster Grand Prix Centenary celebrations 2022 in typical Ulster Grand Prix weather.
East Mitten Butte and Merrick Butte from the edge of the Visitor Center car parking area with the valley drive un-paved roadway in the middle distance. The road is very dusty, I'm sure I've still got grains of red sand in the deeper crevices of my camera bag........
We did not enjoy Geneva. We would have loved to have toured CERN, but they make that so difficult we didn't even try. So we showed up for the tour here at the UN -- probably Geneva's biggest tourist attraction -- and discovered that it was closed to visitors. Then we went to the Patek Phillipe museum. Once burned, twice shy: we carefully checked its website to make sure the listed hours were still good. Didn't help: we got there and discovered a sign on the door saying they were closed until the afternoon. Didn't have any problems like this in the German-speaking part of Switzerland! And didn't help that all of this was in the pouring rain. Anyway, this is all we saw of the Palais des Nations.
The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) in Geneva, Switzerland, is one of the four major offices[a] of the United Nations where numerous different UN agencies have a joint presence. The main UNOG administrative offices are located inside the Palais des Nations complex, which was originally constructed for the League of Nations between 1929 and 1938.
Besides United Nations administration, the Palais des Nations also hosts the offices for a number of programmes and funds such as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE).
The United Nations and its specialized agencies, programmes and funds may have other offices or functions hosted outside the Palais des Nations, normally in office spaces provided by the Swiss Government.
UN specialised agencies and other UN entities with offices in Geneva hold bi-weekly briefings at the Palais des Nations, organized by the United Nations Information Service at Geneva.
UNOG produces an annual report where it lists all major events and activities that happened through a year.
This lake is on 1st. Nation's land and popular for boating and fishing. We like to take drives in to see it because the road goes though wilderness and sometimes we see animals. I have seen a bear, raccoon and a family of Sandhill Cranes on that drive. This time I thought I'd photograph the neat rocky shore.
Well I'm back from a quick two-day stint at the Disney World with tons of great photography. It goes without saying that much of this great stuff wouldn't of happened if it wasn't for the folks at WDWphotography.com for arranging a photowalk week at the mouse house. One which had many photo-loving disney fans and some fellow flickrites roaming the lands searching for new and exciting ways to capture what makes Walt Disney World one-of-a-kind. I've met a lot of really great people, some i've been looking forward to meet as well as some new faces. I also met disney professionals Bob Desmond, Alain Boniec, and Lee McKee. Each one with -*decades* worth of experience capturing (and they are still capturing) all that magic that is Disney. They were very excited to meet us and told us lots of great stories while working for the mouse and shared their work. I particularly enjoyed chatting with Lee. He shared some really great photoshop tips and put together a large collection of great work he's done himself and with Alain.
Afterwards the group went to shoot Illuminations and the special Holiday edition of Illuminations. After the meet I ran to my car on the lot and came back to set up at the one location I had to re-do..the fountains of nations. The fountain itself is a wonderful base for long exposure but to combine it with fireworks is like that cherry on top it needs. So after waiting 20 minutes in the freezing Orlando weather that night, the wind was blowing around and my hands and fingers losing all sorts of feeling. I stayed there taking numerous shots as the show went on. This was one of the best shots i grabbed from the holiday version of Illuminations. This location was quiet. you could barely hear the music at the World showcase atop the constant flow of the fountain so I had to pay real close attention to the rockets as they flew up the pitch dark sky so I can hit the shutter at the right time.

Even though it is no longer the nation's official capital, Yangon – formerly Rangoon – remains Myanmar's largest and most commercially important city. Yangon is the country's largest city with a population of nearly six million. This city is a melting pot—a diversity of cultures and communities in terms of people, settlement and religions. Because it serves as the country's main entrance and seaport. Its downtown skyline is dominated by the winking wonder of Shwedagon Paya, a dazzling Buddhist temple that attracts pilgrims from all over the world. The Botataung Pagoda literally "1000 military officers" is a famous pagoda located in downtown near the Yangon river. The 40 meter high pagoda was first built by the Mon around the same time as was Shwedagon Pagoda—according to local belief, over 2500 years ago. The pagoda is hollow within, and houses what is believed to be a sacred hair of Gautama Buddha. In the second World War the pagoda was destroyed during an airforce bombing mission aimed at the nearby docks. Rebuilding started in 1948 following the original design.Since the 2010 elections, Yangon's fortunes have skyrocketed along with its land prices, as both local and foreign investors scrambled to grab a foothold here. At the same time, decades of economic stagnation are only too apparent in the city's slums, shanty housing and creaking, frequently overwhelmed infrastructure – something you'll quickly realise as you crawl into town in a taxi from the airport.
Rangoon was renamed Yangon and is no longer the capital of Myanmar but it still tolerates some of its colonial past and houses magnificent Pagoda's. Botataung pagoda is the lesser known of “the three pagodas” of Yangon. While it may not not have the flare of Shwedagon or the stature of Sule, inside its golden-leafed walls is laid a hair of the Buddha, making it a significant religious site for Buddhists. The hair and other relics can now be seen behind glass around each turn of the golden labyrinth that zig-zags around the inside of the hollow stupa. The golden image of the Buddha “Calling the Earth to witness” is enshrined in a worship hall around the main pagoda. The golden Buddha watches people meditate and take naps.
Yangon is de voormalig hoofdstad van Myanmar. Het is voor de meeste reizigers het startpunt van hun rondreis door Myanmar voor ons het eindpunt. Voor de grootste stad van het land komt Yangon relatief relaxed over. De sfeer is er gemoedelijk en het verkeer is nog lang niet zo jachtig als in de buurlanden Thailand en India. De stad grenst in het westen en zuiden aan de Yangon rivier. De stad is behoorlijk uitgestrekt. Gelukkig heb je voor een paar duizend Kyats, de munteenheid van Myanmar, een taxi of fietstaxi te pakken. Vanaf de straat is de 40 meter hoge Botataung Pagoda goed te zien. De pagode werd voor het eerst gebouwd door de Mon rond dezelfde tijd als Shwedagon Pagoda-volgens de lokale geloof, meer dan 2500 jaar geleden. In de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd de pagode verwoest tijdens een luchtmacht bombardementen missie die gericht was op de nabijgelegen haven. Herbouw begon in 1948 na het oorspronkelijke ontwerp. Integenstelling tot de meeste stupa's is deze hol van binnen. Wanneer je naar binnen ga, stuit je op een interieur dat lijkt op een doolhof van speigelglas met een hoop vitrines met Boeddhabeeldjes. In de tempel zitten verschillende gelovigen te bidden en te slapen. Het gouden beeld hierboven is de Bhumisparsha Mudra van het aanroepen van moeder-aarde tot getuige is gelegen in een adoratie hal rond de pagode. Op het terrein van de tempel verschillende verblijven voor monniken. Daarnaast is er een tweede gebedsruimte met een grote bronzen Boeddha. De tempel ligt vlak bij de haven. De haven is een mengelmoes van groot en klein, er zijn immense containerschepen, maar er zijn ook kleine houten bootjes die voor weinig geld te veel mensen naar de overkant brengen.
"In seventeen and eighty two
Above this nation's skies so blue
The eagle took a maiden flight
For liberty and human right.
Immortalized upon the seal
Native arrows it does wield
Symbolizing might and strength
An olive branch for peace at length."
