While composing this image, the charred and dead trees were used to frame the remnants of color. Their blackened silhouettes tend to lead one into the shot, while also reminding us of the tragic end they met during the fires of last year. Perhaps guardians of color, or the sacrificial lambs, either way, it will take time before this forest returns to its previous flourishing presence.
Hundreds of freight trains stranded. Thousands of passengers left with nowhere to go. This was the scene as a series of unprecedented rail blockades saw the wheels of Canada's economy screeching to a halt. But in the middle of it all, the tough town of Englehart and the Ontario Northland Railway stepped up to keep it all on track.
Here, both Canadian National and Ontario Northland EMDs are congregated under the stars at Englehart after battling the elements of Northern Ontario.
The widowers tale -
“Late at night when all the world is sleeping, I stay up and think of you. And I wish you were still here.
I am in such a terrible mood this afternoon. My daughter has been so clingy lately. She has been enjoying her ballet lessons for the last couple of weeks but today she absolutely refused to let me go and wouldn't join her class. I am beside myself. To calm myself down, I took this photo but I'm not really happy with it. Or maybe I'm not happy with the way I handled things today.

In restless dreams I walked alone,
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light,
That split the night and touched the sound of silence
Otter Lake early in the morning...I do love that time of day. That and fog as you know.
Tomorrow they are calling for a dusting of snow and I am truly excited. I will be going on a little trip on the Parkway and Goshen Pass...I really hope it snows...
Do click...promise.

Not far from the Binding Brewery in Frankfurt am Main stands a building that clearly stands out from the rest of the buildings in the Sachsenhausen district: the Sonnenring. It is one of the buildings designed by architect Günther Balser, was built between 1969 and 1975, and is considered to be an example of brutalist architecture.
Unweit des Standortes der Binding Brauerei in Frankfurt am Main steht ein Gebäude, das sich deutlich von der übrigen Bebauung im Stadtteil Sachsenhausens abhebt: Der Sonnenring. Er zählt zu den Bauten des Architekten Günther Balser, entstand in der Zeit von 1969 bis 1975 und wird dem Architekturstil Brutalismus zugerechnet.

Humpback Whales definitely have the right-of-way. According to our captain, this group of humpbacks stays here roughly March through November, then heads south to coasts of Panama and Costa Rica. Estero Bay, San Luis Obispo County, California.
Namtso is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet and significant for Tibetan Buddhists. Kora is a Tibetan word that means "circumambulation" or "revolution". Kora is both a type of pilgrimage and a type of meditative practice in the Tibetan Buddhism. Thus, Namtso Kora means pilgrimage walk around the Lake Namtso.
Namtso literally means heavenly lake in Tibetan language. Located around 240km northwest of Lhasa, capital of Tibet, it takes four hours’ driving from Lhasa. Extending 70 km from east to west and 30 km from south to north, the lake covers an area of 1,920 sq km and has an altitude of 4748 m above sea level. It is biggest lake in Tibet and the second biggest salt lake in China as well as one of the highest lakes in the world. The water in the lake is crystally clear and blue. The blue sky joins the surface of the lake in the distance, creating an integrated, scenic vista.
In every Tibetan year of sheep, thousands of Tibetan Buddhism believers will come here to worship this sacred lake. As a rule, they will walk clockwise along the Namtso Lake in order to receive the blessing of the gods.
There are several fine Tibet treks around the lake. The shortest one is roughly 4 kilometers and takes less than one hour. It starts from the accommodation area to a hermit’s cave hidden behind a large spinter of rock. The kora continues to a rocky promontory of cairns and prayer flags. At the promontory, pilgrims undertake a ritural washing in the lake. And then the trail continues past several caves and a prostration point where there are two rock towers looking like two hands. Pilgrims squeeze into the deep slices of the nearby cliff face as a means of sin detection or drink water dripping from cave roofs, even swallow holy dirt.

Some of you may not recognize the political reference, but when coming upon this remarkable scene, I was immediately reminded of Hillary Clinton's words referencing the "irredeemable half of Trump supporters" mentioned last Friday in a speech to a group of wealthy, sniggering donors. This translates to literally millions of voters and real people. (I found it particularly appropriate that this group was orange in Trump-like fashion.)
While this is not meant to express a personal position, it is meant to point out the unbelievable malaise with our politics as expressed in this election and the words and tactics BOTH sides are now using. As one who has been a close observer of the US democracy for over 50 years, there has never been anything remotely like it and presents a sorry commentary indeed. Whatever the result, the country will be even more severely divided and angry with little hope for compromise on any level whatsoever.
A sea of Yellow Dryas going to seed. I'd never seen this flower before and in fact the flowering was finished but what is left is what looks like a dunce cap as the seed head unfurls into something akin to the dandelion seed head but with differences. Apparently this evergreen shrub is one of the first to colonize land after the retreat of a glacier. This photo was near the moraine of the Kennecott and Root glaciers.

Mabelle Avenue is in a high density, low-income inner-suburban neighbourhood in Central Etobicoke, Ontario. Four of the seven rental towers lining the block are owned and operated by Toronto Community Housing - the second largest landlord in North America.
Since 2007, Mabelle Arts has brought together artists, architects, builders and gardeners with thousands of community members of all ages and backgrounds to reimagine Mabelle Park from the abandoned edge of a thoroughfare to a vibrant artpark and arts and culture hub.
Mabelle Park represents a new kind of social infrastructure - one that can more nimbly respond to community needs and desires and increase collective resiliency.

SENSE OF WONDER
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leaves you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....
I hope you dance,

The Church of Our Lady (Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk) is a Roman Catholic church in Bruges, Belgium, dating mainly from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. Its 115.6-metre-high (379 ft) tower remains the tallest structure in the city and the third tallest brickwork tower in the world (after St. Mary's Church in Lübeck and St. Martin's Church in Landshut, both in Germany).
The church demonstrates the Gothic style in the prominent Flying buttresses on the exterior which were constructed in the 1270s and 80s.[1] The nave contains cross-vaults and black and white tiled flooring.[1] The interior demonstrates the heavily ornamented Baroque style in the side aisles and chancel.[1] One of the chapels in the church was created in 1482 for a wealthy man named Lodewijk van Gruuthuse, as his personal worship area.[1]
Most of the time spent last summer prior to the passing of my father was at healthcare facilities such as Parkland Hospital where documentary urban exploration finds us this hot day about a year ago.
Shot of the inside of the main corridor of the grand sheikh zayed mosque.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was initiated by the late president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who wanted to establish a structure which unites the cultural diversity of Islamic world, the historical and modern values of architecture and art. His final resting place is located on the grounds beside the same mosque.
The mosque was constructed from 1996 to 2007. It is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates.
The building complex measures approximately 290 m (960 ft) by 420 m (1,380 ft), covering an area of more than 12 hectares (30 acres), exclusive of exterior landscaping and vehicle parking.

Some of the world famous cannonballs of the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. These large concretions were formed within the nearby rock layer by the deposition of mineral around a core. They were exposed by the erosion of the softer sediment in which they were born.
The Convent of Christ (Portuguese: Convento de Cristo/Mosteiro de Cristo) is a former Roman Catholic convent in Tomar, Portugal. Originally a 12th-century Templar stronghold, when the order was dissolved in the 14th century the Portuguese branch was turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ, that later supported Portugal's maritime discoveries of the 15th century. The convent and castle complex is a historic and cultural monument and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983.
A lovely day at the Village yesterday for the opening of the season! Good friends, amazing dancing, delicious food!
In the Spring, Summer and Autumn of 1732 young Linnaeus trraveled in Lapland on the coasts of the Gulf of Bothnia on foot or by horse. He was interested in the culture and customs of the various peoples but especially, of course, in plants. An extensive account and enumeration of the plants he collected is his Flora Lapponica (1737).
Linnaeus gives various 'heather-like' plants the generic name 'Andromeda'. He found them in boggy areas between rocks and boulders. Andromeda is for the classical beauty Andromeda, chained naked to a rock on the coast of Ethiopia until she's rescued by Perseus. Hence Linnaeus' name.
In the new section for carnivorous plants in the Hortus is this Andromeda polifolia, which, says Linnaeus, grows in the colder bogs of Europe. The English 'Rosemary' is for the rosemary-like foliage. In The Netherlands it's rare in the wild and on the so-called Red List of endangered plants.
