Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.
Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.
This is advertisement for a resort here in Wimberley, Texas. As I've said before, there are a lot of creative people in this town. I did some volunteer photography last night for the Waller Creek group. They had an event on the creek. I'm going to post some of the shots here during the week.
I posted a shot like this one on slider Sunday, but I just really like the point of view on this one so I'm posting it as well.
Today was remember Pearl Harbor day. I had almost forgotten it. On December 7, 1941 over 2200 military personal lost there lives in combat. It's really something we should remember.

Brockton Point Lighthouse is located at the east of Stanley Park and the location offers a spectacular inlet view. This magnificent view includes the docks and shipping lanes important to Canadian trade and commerce on its western shores, and a stunning city view of both North Vancouver and the Downtown Core.
Go to Seattle for a weekend, took this city night view, remember a old movie call Sleepless in Seattle 1993，Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Very famous movie star at that time.西雅圖渡過個短暫週末，順便拍攝幾張夜景，想起一部九三年的老電影，西雅圖夜未眠，或者叫做緣分的天堂，喜歡當中的兩個明星，Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
Coming down from the Wicklow Mountains, lovely green peaceful valley.

The old gate at the bottom of the steps (the steps leads up to a park just outside the Prince Park hotel) is Somon (惣門), built in the early Edo period and once leading to a mausoleum for the second Edo shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada (徳川 秀忠) who died in 1632. The mausoleum itself has not survived.
Bonus for the sharp-eyed: as you can see it has just rained and in the gate a man has taken shelter, fiddling with his phone (Tokyo really is a mixture of history and modernity).

Bank Holiday weekend was wayyy too short for our second visit to the bonnie Cairngorms, so it was with heavy hearts that we started our return journey. And the more the mountains receded, the more my mood sank ... :(
Looking east from the summit of Red Sleep mountain (in the National Bison Range) at St. Ignatius and the southern end of the Mission Mountains.
The state's name is derived from the Spanish word montaña (mountain). Smart choice, as the many mountains there are magnificent.
So much to love in Montana!
Have a wonderful week!
Happy Fence Friday!!
HFF!!
This Creek is being renovated from the university to Town Lake, Lake Lady Bird Johnson. So that's about a 25 block distance. It's being done is sections but the sections don't touch. So, if you walk down this sidewalk a little ways, it just ends..:) I know what's going on, but I wonder what visitors to Austin must think. Poor Austin, they've run out of money..:) Anyway, it'll look beautiful when it's finished.
Siglufjordur in North Iceland, a place that rings solitude and isolation, but also natural beauty and man's perseverance and social solidarity in order to get through those long winters here. This image was captured in May, so you get an idea what it must be like in real winter :)

Village Panorama in Shanghai's Nanhui District (上海市南汇区). Stitched from 4 pictures. February 2004. View in XXL.
The area in this particular picture is now industrially developed, a car plant of SAIC is in that place - picture has historical value...
So, what would we see, standing here in 2024? Read below:
We are standing right outside the SAIC plant fence, we'd see lots of "MG" branded cars, SAIC produces these "British" cars here for the global market. Right in front of the viewer, beyond the plant fence, is the parking lot for newly produced cars, it is roofed and the roofs are covered with solar panels.
To the left, about where these houses are (beyond that road), are the press shop and the body shop. Right of that, a bit more towards the center, but hidden behind the aforementioned buildings, are the paint shop and final assembly.
If one turns around 180° one would see a huge gravel area covered with oversized car transporter trucks.

This lady was so nice. She stepped into the frame just as I took the shot. She said she was sorry for messing up my shot. I told her it wasn't messed up, because now she was part of it..:)

I do a lot of architecture photos because architecture interesting and I not very creative so it's easy..;) I don't find animal or people pictures very interesting.
Anyway, this is another business in Dripping Springs, Texas.
After working at a rental shop in East Texas while in college, Buddy recognized a need in his hometown of Dripping Springs. Started from scratch and supported by word of mouth, Dripping Springs Rental Center has been providing fine rental equipment to the hill country for almost 14 years.
A sunset at Long Meadow that had very cool streaky clouds, that almost looked like they were painted in the sky.
Have a wonderful evening and great weekend, my friends :-)
It's starting to look a lot like Christmas..:)) Christmas light shows are everywhere this time of year.
The cold weather has hit this place. We don't get show, just the cold and windy at times.

Mont Vélan is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. At 3,727, metres Mont Vélan is the highest summit lying between the Great St Bernard Pass and Grand Combin. Two large glaciers cover its northern flanks: Glacier de Tseudet (west) and Glacier de Valsoray (east). The Glacier de Proz, lying on the west side, was traversed during the first ascent.
The mountain is located south of Bourg-Saint-Pierre in the canton of Valais and north of Etroubles in the Aosta Valley. The Petit Vélan is a lower summit in the same massif lying north to the main summit.
Le mont Vélan est un sommet des Alpes pennines (3 727 mètres) sur la frontière entre l'Italie (Vallée d'Aoste) et la Suisse (canton du Valais). Il se trouve à proximité du col du Grand-Saint-Bernard, le long de la ligne de partage des eaux entre le Valpelline et la vallée du Grand-Saint-Bernard.
Der Mont Vélan ist ein 3731 m hoher Berg in den westlichen Walliser Alpen. Über den Hauptgipfel verläuft die Grenze zwischen der Schweiz und Italien. Damit liegt er in der italienischen Provinz Aosta und dem Schweizer Kanton Wallis.
Als Nebengipfel umfasst der Berg sodann die nördlich und nordöstlich in der Schweiz liegenden Pétit Vélan, 3202 m, und Mont de la Gouille, 3212 m, sowie im Weiteren auf dem Grenzgrat westlich zum Großen St. Bernhard die Les Rayons de la Madelaine, 3051 m und östlich zum Col de Valsoray (in Richtung des Grand Combin (4314 m)) den Mont Cordine, 3329 m. Nach Süden fällt der Mont Vélan über 1000 m mit einer steilen Wand ab, im Norden ist er durch den Valsoreygletscher und den Tseudetgletscher vergletschert.
