La Riserva naturale dei Ciciu del Villar è una riserva regionale del Piemonte, che si trova in località Costa Pragamonti, nei pressi dell'abitato del comune di Villar San Costanzo tra Busca e Dronero in provincia di Cuneo.
La riserva è nata per proteggere un fenomeno di erosione molto particolare: le "colonne di erosione" (anche chiamate "piramidi di terra", o "Ciciu 'd pera"), che si ergono ai piedi del massiccio del monte San Bernardo. Queste formazioni sono sculture morfologiche naturali, con una tipica forma di funghi, il cui cappello è costituito da un masso erratico (anche di notevoli dimensioni) ed il cui gambo è costituito da terra e pietrisco. In quest'area queste colonne di erosione prendono il nome popolare di ciciu, parola piemontese che significa pupazzo, fantoccio.

You may see my Photoblog on Velavadar Blackbuck sanctuary at www.jagadipsingh.blogspot.in
The golden yellow grass lit by the evening golden sun provided a wonderful backdrop to the blackbucks photography - they would go into deeper grass and then remerge. This shot was taken in Velavadar blackbuck sanctuary in Gujarat, about 3 hours drive from Ahmedabad.
The Obersee in the Bielefeld area is an artificial lake outside the city, a lovely place for walking, biking, or just to relax.j

Two different species of shorebirds sharing the same feeding grounds at Masirah Island, Oman. Why can't human beings live in harmony.

Another image from the archive with modern processing. The end of the day got us on the road. We stopped and spent some amazing minutes standing on a bridge, dreaming and watching this natural beauty. I don't know why that song I love came to me. I do always remember Crowded House watching any sunset now...
Thank you for all you comments and favs, my friends.
Regno Unito, Northumberland, Craster, Estate 2014
Sulle alte scogliere affacciate sul Mare del Nord, si trovano le rovine del castello di Dunstanburgh. Un tempo era il più grande castello in Northumberland ma oggi ne rimangono solo alcune rovine, come risultato delle molteplici battaglie subite. Il castello fu costruito nel 1313 da Tommaso il Plantageneto che fu poi giustiziato per tradimento dal cugino re Edoardo II. Il boia necessitò di undici colpi di decapitarlo e per questo motivo fantasma del Conte è stato avvistato intorno al castello, con la sua testa maciullata tra le mani e un’espressione di dolore e terrore sul viso. Il castello è associato con la leggenda di Sir Guy. Questi era un cavaliere che giunse al castello di Dunstanburgh, dove un lo accolse e lo introdusse all’interno. Qui s’imbatté in una nobile signora imprigionata all'interno di una tomba di cristallo e sorvegliata da un esercito addormentato. Il mago gli propose di scegliere una spada o un corno da caccia per liberare la donna ed egli scelse in modo non corretto il corno, che svegliò i cavalieri. Sir Guy si ritrovò fuori del castello, e trascorse il resto della sua vita cercando di trovare un modo per tornare dentro.
High upon the cliffs along the North Sea, reside the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. It was once the largest castle in Northumberland, but today only fragments of it remain as the result of many wars. The castle was built in 1313 by Thomas Plantagenet who was later executed for treason by his cousin King Edward II. The executioner needed 11 strokes to decapitate Thomas and for that reason the Earl’s ghost has been spotted around the castle carrying his mangled head, with a facial expression still bearing the pain and horror he suffered. The castle has associated with the legend of Sir Guy. Sir Guy was a knight who arrived at Dunstanburgh Castle, where he was met by a wizard and led inside. There he came across a noble lady imprisoned inside a crystal tomb and guarded by a sleeping army. The wizard offered Guy a choice of either a sword or a hunting horn to help free the lady; he incorrectly chose the horn, which woke the knights. Sir Guy found himself outside the castle, and spent the rest of his life attempting to find a way back inside.
Kaltene beach Latvia.
I had a great time in Latvian sea-side with my family. Lots of beautiful moments in nature. Deepness in another level.
I'm glad to see you all have been so productive. See you!:)

This was taken on a visit to Lyme Regis on Christmas Eve 2014 for a bit of sea air and some fish and chips. The weather changed quickly, the clouds rolled over the town and then a break in the clouds opened up and the winter sun lit up the beach and houses.

Blick vom Gmundnerberg über den Traunsee. Die Aufnahme entstand im Oktober als das Alpenvorland vom jährlichen dichten Nebel bedeckt waren. Der einzige Weg dem Nebel zu entkommen war nach Süden in die Berge zu fahren.
View from Gmunderberg over Traunsee. The shot was taken in October when the plains of Upper Austria were covered in thick seasonal mist. The only way to escape that mist was to drive south to into the mountains.
