Eigentlich wollte ich mich nur sportlich betätigen am Strand - aber dann sah ich den Himmel und musste schnell meine Kamera aus dem Auto holen.
10 Minuten später war die rote Pracht wieder vorbei und der Himmel zeigte sich in gewohntem Grau.

I have several versions of this place: fog, no fog, sunset and no sunset. For some reason I decided to go with sunset and fog..;)
Thanks everyone for helping me with my group problem. I realized I was in too many groups and just wanted to thin it out a little, only because I'm so anal..;) And, it sound like taping my toes together is the best advise after all.
Marmolada Glacier (Ghiacciaio della Marmolada) is the only glacier in the Italian Dolomites. We took the ‘Funivia Fedaia Marmolada’ up Mount Marmolada to the toe of the glacier. This was part of the front during World War I. There is a lot of history in the area available in small local museums. Although I did not attempt it, associated with the war is the oldest, highest and longest via ferrata in the Dolomites.

Zwarte zwanen hebben van alle zwanen de langste hals: meer dan half zo lang als de totale lichaamslengte. De geslachten zijn qua uiterlijke kenmerken gelijk.
De zwarte zwanen vormen rond hun tweede levensjaar een koppel voor het leven. De kuikens worden door de ouders samen opgevoed.
De zwarte zwaan is niet honkvast. Bij zwerftochten kan hij afstanden van honderden kilometers overbruggen en zorgt zo ook zelf voor zijn verspreiding.
Kenmerkend is de klagende, trompetterende roep bij hun nachtelijke vluchten.

As well as the excursion, this day was a testing day of sorts.
Got a new backpack a few weeks ago to carry gear (Mindshift BackLight). Check! Carried some extra gear just to add some weight and it felt great.
Got some new boots this past week that are water proof. Double check!! Feet kept dry.
And wanted to test using my Canon wide angle on the Sony camera. Autofocus speed is not great, so switch to manual focusing which isn't a big deal for landscapes. Focus peaking makes it easy. Check!
A good day :))

At the Prosser Hot Air Balloon Rally 2015 some of the balloons would touch down on the Yakima River, drift up stream to the bridge then they would lift off the water at the last minute and float up and over the bridge. DSC_1484-HDR-1

I've posted a few macros taken during my brief wander through the mist in the field by house at sunrise a few weeks ago. Here's a wide-angle of the view.

Been wanting to do this for ages. Weekend spent in a woodland retreat allowed me to spend sometime walking through the Autumn fall and experimenting with the lines and shapes of the trees.
'The tale of two churches', this is a bigger part of the view from the balcony of the job we're doing (decorating)....though the mountains are maybe 14kms away as the crow flies, Pointe Terrace (+- 2,950m), French Alps. Tickled in Snapseed on iPad Air.
Not sure why but there appeared to be two suns shining through the Spring canopy the day I shot this one... Wishing a happy weekend to all Flickr friends :)

Buitrago del Lozoya es un pueblo de la Comunidad de Madrid (España) situado en el Valle Medio del Lozoya, a los pies del puerto de Somosierra, en plena Sierra de Guadarrama. Dista 74 km de Madrid hacia el extremo norte de la provincia. Es el único pueblo de toda la comunidad que conserva íntegro su antiguo recinto amurallado. El río Lozoya, que da sobrenombre al municipio, lo circunda por todos sus lados menos el meridional, convirtiéndose así en un foso natural de defensa. Buitrago del Lozoya es Conjunto Histórico-Artístico y Bien de Interés Cultural desde 1993, y su recinto amurallado es Monumento Nacional desde 1931.

Kasteel de Haar is the largest castle of Holland and is located just outside Utrecht and a half an hour drive from Amsterdam. The oldest historical record of a building at the location of the current castle dates to 1391. In that year, the family De Haar received the castle and the surrounding lands. The current buildings, all built upon the original castle, date from 1892. De Haar has everything you expect from a castle; towers, turrets, moats, gates and suspension bridges. The castle is also home to many art objects. Next to the castle you can find a romantic chapel and beautiful parks and gardens. Without a doubt Kasteel de Haar is one of the most luxurious castles of Europe. Kasteel de Haar is located in a green area with well maintained parks and gardens and a beautiful, romantic chapel. It invites to long walks, picnics and even spontaneous marriage proposals. Let medieval times relive and visit Kasteel de Haar.
De Haar Castle, locally known as Kasteel de Haar, lies next to the village of Haarzuilens in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands. De Haar Castle was founded in the 14th century on sediment deposits along a blind arm of the river Rhine. The castle is now surrounded by a large park.
Naar de ontstaansgeschiedenis van Kasteel de Haar vond onderzoek plaats. Hoe de eerste bebouwing er precies uit zag is niet met zekerheid te zeggen. Vermoedelijk ging het om een versterkte woontoren op een omgracht perceel, gebouwd in de 12e eeuw. De oudste geschreven vermelding, een akte, dateert van 1391. Kasteel De Haar is het grootste kasteel van Nederland. Het werd tussen 1892 en 1912 gebouwd op de ruïnes van zijn voorganger, in opdracht van een vermogende baronale familie. Zij wilden het kasteel gebruiken als nazomerverblijf. Hoewel het kasteel dus niet permanent werd bewoond, was het wel van alle moderne gemakken voorzien: van een enorme keuken tot elektrische verlichting en centrale verwarming. Verbaas u over de on-Nederlandse weelde. Het kasteel, de indrukwekkende collectie kunstschatten, het omringende park en het bijbehorende landgoed vormen een mooie eenheid. Het sprookjesachtige Kasteel De Haar is omgeven door een prachtige stijltuin, landschapspark en vijver. Het park is aangelegd in Engelse landschapsstijl, met waterpartijen, boomgroepen, romantische paadjes, bruggetjes en doorkijkjes.
Encounter with a desert-adapted Black Rhino in the Damaraland, Namibia, on a walk.
This was a desired encounter. We were with 3 guides taking good care of us.
As the huge animal came too close, they chased it away with loud shouts.

Please forgive me as I just can't remember the names of all these Loch's that I visited there was so many. Thanks to Graham Bradshaw who commented below the mountain in the background is "Bla Bheinn". Thanks Graham, local knowledge is great to have. The tree and again the reflections is what caught my eye.
