I took this from the Dolphin tour boat. Because of hurricanes that hit here from time to time, there aren't many tall buildings. No surprise, the tallest one is a bank..;)
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.
While walking the dog in the neighborhood, I saw this and right away thought, happy bench Monday..:) Hope all is well with every one. I'm getting my heater replaced on Tuesday. It's a major expense..:(
Happy Slider Sunday!!
HSS!!
I haven't done one of these in a while so here it is. Gotta get my monies worth out of the software..;)) I wanted to take some pictures today but we had light rain and fog all day, so all I did was take my camera for a ride..;)
Lets hope Sunday is a better day
solitary road along Snaefellsnes peninsula in wintery Iceland. This journey is unforgettable, especially in winter. We did it twice, once in summer and once in winter and I found the winter journey even more impressive along this mountain range that forms the backbone of the long-stretched Snaefellsnes peninsula culminating in Snaefellsjokull volcano at the tip of it.
The Beautiful Autumn weather dragged me away from the things I should actually be doing to the City's Farm, 'De Wiershoeck', on the northeast fringes of urbanity and rurality. Most plants were in 'falling' state, but there were still some colorful Asters, Aster novi-belgii. They drew lots of hoverflies among which this Vagrant, Eupeodes corollae, a Lady licking herself some protein.

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 had to get out on the water for this shot, so it's not as sharp as I like them. I'm still ready for another trip. My daughter keeps saying she wants to go with me. I'm just waiting for her to say lets go..;)
Happy Fence Friday!!
HFF!
I didn't go in. I was just trying to find the place. I'm going to take my meetup group on a wine tour on Saturday and this is one of the places I'm going to take the group. It's a new winery but my boss says the wines are pretty good. Here's a little info:
Founded in 1983, Wimberley Valley Winery has a proud history of producing fine wines in central Texas with a focus on quality and a wide selection to suit all palates.
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.
It's good to be home in your own territory ;-)

Het was supermooi vanmorgen vroeg. Na even aarzelen en afwegen ben ik hier naartoe gegaan en daar werd ik getrakteerd op een wel heel erg mooie zonsopkomst.

Schloss Rheinsberg liegt in der Gemeinde Rheinsberg, etwa 100 km nordwestlich von Berlin im Landkreis Ostprignitz-Ruppin. Das am Ostufer des Grienericksees gelegene Schloss gilt als Musterbeispiel des sogenannten Friderizianischen Rokokos und diente auch als Vorbild für Schloss Sanssouci.
Rheinsberg Palace (German: Schloss Rheinsberg) lies in the municipality of Rheinsberg, about 100 kilometres northwest of Berlin in the German district of Ostprignitz-Ruppin. The palace on the eastern shore of the Grienericksee is a classic example of the so-called Frederician Rococo architecture style and served as a basis for Sanssouci Palace.

I'm still on the Gurene, Texas series. This is the Gristmill restaurant entertainment area. The restaurant first opened in the early 1900's and severed the local farmers and laborer until it burned to the ground in 1922. The new restaurant opened in 1977 using the remains of the old restaurant's three story brick boiler room. They did a super job on the place. It's one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been in.
along hwy 8 from Annapolis Royal to Liverpool/Bridgewater. It was -10 but sunny and my wide angle wasn't wide enough so this is a 2 shot pano merged in Lightroom.
