Location: Seven Weeks Poort in the Little Karoo
Description: Here is another (half-decent) composition from my recent visit to the spectacular Seven Weeks Poort (I just wish I'd pressed the shutter one second earlier).
The magnificent vertical rockfolds, reaching for the skies on both sides of the road, reflect the inconceivable forces of the volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, forming the chain of Cape ripple-like mountains. Often the converging slopes leave only a narrow pass, just broad enough for the Huis River to pass through, whilst the precipices of naked, distorted rock-faces tower like walls of a natural rampart, obscuring the sun.
I honestly couldn’t think of any better place to pedal my bicycle… can you?

Kalimera my dear friends,Ηappy weekend :)
Thank you for stopping by,big appreciation for faves and thanks a lot for your wonderful comments!
As the light of the setting sun turned the grass around the heathland pool golden, the toads continued to make their amorous calls - which I'm certain would have continued well into the night. Spawning only just under-way, they had much to occupy their time ... ;-)
Exposure row
It had rained the whole day like from tubs. Actually, I planned, the Neist Point, the small peninsula
to take photos on the Scottish island Skye in the southwest in the sundown. But the weather meant it differently.
When I wanted to make a few test shots Late afternoon, it heard to rain for one moment on and the sky opened
for a short time before the coast. From approx. 100 admissions, were at the end only useful.....
Monte Serva:
Il Monte Serva è una montagna delle Dolomiti Bellunesi alta 2.133 metri s.l.m. Sorge a nord di Belluno.
Il versante meridionale è caratterizzato dalla presenza di boschi e prati, mentre il versante settentrionale è molto scosceso e roccioso e si affaccia sulla foresta della Cajada. Caratteristica formazione rocciosa della montagna, visibile anche dalla città di Belluno, è la cosiddetta Boca de Rosp. Nei mesi estivi è ancora praticata la pastorizia: il principale ricovero per bestiame e pastori è sito in località Pian dei Fioch a 1731 metri d'altitudine.
Lago di Santa Croce:
Il lago di Santa Croce è un lago naturale (il cui bacino è stato ampliato artificialmente negli anni trenta) situato in provincia di Belluno, nella zona dell'Alpago, al confine con la provincia di Treviso.
Sul lago si affacciano i centri abitati di Farra d'Alpago a nord, della frazione di Poiatte a est, del paese di Santa Croce del Lago a ovest e della frazione de La Secca a nord. Inoltre, l'intero versante occidentale del lago è attraversato dalla strada statale 51 di Alemagna, che costituiva la principale via di comunicazione tra la provincia di Treviso e la provincia di Belluno prima dell'inaugurazione nel 1995 del tratto Vittorio Veneto-Belluno dell'autostrada A27.
Il Lago di Santa Croce e, più a sud, il Lago Morto rappresentano due esempi di laghi intravallivi formatisi per sbarramento alluvionale, morenico e di frana.
Thanks to all for your wonderful comments,faves

What a fitting name for a sailboat. I looked up the full definition: A piece of music sung or played in the open air, typically by a man at night under the window of his lover. I really loved the time I spent on my sailboat. I don't have one anymore but I think about it often.
Spring sunset
Time to go back in time once more, late spring 2016, a sunset over my favorite lake, the Gaatkensplas.Enjoy and have a nice week ahead my friends!
Nestled in forest at 600 metres above sea‐level, the Château du Théret was built to control and tax the passage of salt to the Loire Valley and Paris and considerably extended during the reign of Louis 14th. It is reached on foot down a long drive flanked by dry stone walls, and surrounded by a moat, giving the impression that you are leaving the 21st century behind as you approach. It is currently in private hands, being slowly and authentically restored with a view to opening to the public “eventually”. The nearby wolf‐park provides a reminder that this area was inhabited by wild wolves as recently as 1901, when the last was trapped at Théret.
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family ...... every minute should be enjoyed and savored ~ Earl Nightingale.
I was looking over my photos to see which one I could post, and looking at this one just kind of relaxed me while I was looking at it. So, I dusted it off and cleaned it up and posted it.
Have a great Sunday

Landscape scenario in Southeast Iceland which is very typical for the landscape in that part of the island: mountain chains and swamy pastures with little pools like these everywhere. These ponds are a perfect biotop for migratory birds which we saw making landfall in these plains in their hundreds. But I chose a quiet setting showcasing the gorgeous clouds and sky reflected in the ponds on this wonderful Spring day.
Fresnos podados para que no crezcan en altura , las ramas crezcan bajas y así las vacas puedan "ramonear" , para comer , llegando facilmente al alimento.
Essence d'arbres.
C'est certainement immodeste mais il faut regarder en large tellement c'est beau.
J'y suis pas pour grand chose. Ah, dame nature, quel coup de pinceau!!!

The waterfall in Vandusen Garden, with leaves floating on the pond. VanDusen 植物園中的瀑布，葉子飄在水上，幾分浪漫，幾許惆悵，這就是秋天吧，周末愉快
