Like I have said several times on my posts, "I am a morning person!" I love to get up early on days off to go drive around the county as the sun rises on a new day. This photo is from Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park. It is the Red Deer River and just moments before sunrise.

Yaquina Bay Bridge just outside of Newport, Oregon on my bicycle tour of the Pacific coast. It was a stunning vista before the terror of actually riding across that beautiful bridge. One lane each way and only a semblance of a shoulder. Nothing gets you pumped up like having 20 cars behind you.
The Gendarmenmarkt is a square in Berlin, and the site of the Konzerthaus and the French and German Cathedrals. In the centre of the square stands a monumental statue of Germany's renowned poet Friedrich Schiller. The square was created by Johann Arnold Nering at the end of the seventeenth century as the Linden-Markt and reconstructed by Georg Christian Unger in 1773. The Gendarmenmarkt is named after the cuirassier regiment Gens d'Armes, which had their stables at the square until 1773.
During World War II, most of the buildings were badly damaged or destroyed. Today all the buildings have been restored to their former state.
Gendarmenmakt was first built in 1688. It stood as a marketplace and was part of the city's Western expansion of Friedrichstadt, one of Berlin's emerging quarters.
The French Cathedral (Französischer Dom) the older of the two cathedrals, was built by the Huguenot community between 1701 and 1705. The cathedral was modelled after the destroyed Huguenot church in Charenton-Saint-Maurice, France. The tower and porticoes, designed by Carl von Gontard, were added to the building in 1785. The French cathedral has a viewing platform, a restaurant and a Huguenot museum.
The German Cathedral (Deutscher Dom) is located in the south of the Gendarmenmarkt. It has a pentagonal structure and was designed by Martin Grünberg and built in 1708 by Giovanni Simonetti. This church belonged to the Lutheran community. It too was modified in 1785 by Carl von Gontard, who built the domed tower. The German Cathedral was completely destroyed by fire in 1945, during World War II. After German reunification it was rebuilt, finished in 1993 and re-opened in 1996 as a museum of German history.
The Konzerthaus Berlin is the most recent building on the Gendarmenmarkt. It was built by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in 1821 as the Schauspielhaus. It was based on the ruins of the National Theatre, which was destroyed by fire in 1817. Parts of the building contain columns and some outside walls from the destroyed building. Like the other buildings on the square, it was also badly damaged during World War II. The reconstruction, finished in 1984, turned the theatre into a concert hall. Today, it is the home of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin.
The Gendarmenmarkt hosts one of Berlin's most popular Christmas markets.

This weekend was the first real spring day we have had this year… the day was cloudless and warm, we took full advantage of it; starting with a twenty kilometre bike ride. After a short rest we put on our hiking gear grabbing our camera gear we made our way to the lake. The sun was just cresting the evening horizon as the day was waning into dusk. We smiled at each other and looked directly into the sunset enjoying every second of it. Because it felt so good to be outside without layer upon layer of winter clothing to protect us from the cold.
Which one of us photographers doesn't absolutely love golden hour? This is as you can tell taken during golden hour in all its golden glory. . .
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

Something to warm any of you enduring colder weather in the Northern Hemisphere.
Our weather outlook for the next week is hot & hotter LOL
The Perry Sandhills are on the edge of the flood plain that includes Thegoa Lagoon. They are ancient and include Aboriginal cultural heritage areas. The sandhills have been used as a backdrop in many films and television shows.
According to geologists, the Perry Sandhills originated after an ice age (40,000 years ago) and are formed by wind erosion over thousands of years. The dunes are located six kilometres outside of Wentworth and are a unique land formation of 400 acres of continuously shifting sand dunes.
One of the most pristine, natural stands of redwoods remain hidden in a mountain glen outside of Ukiah, CA. Have hiked and shot here many times but never had good light. Then one time after a very heavy rain, we managed to get there while the seasonal streams were still flowing. Always quiet, always lush and green, this is truly a redwood cathedral not to be missed if you are in the area.

Thank you folks for all your kind comments and faves, really much appreciated ツ
For my album “Swedish Westcoast & Archipelago”. Take a look !
Sweden’s west coast stretches from Gothenburg up to the border with Norway. Along the coast feast on some of the world's best seafood, spot seals from a kayak, have a floating sauna and soak in a seaweed bath at a spa. visitsweden.com/where-to-go/southern-sweden/vastsverige/w...
Far from being a puddle, I can assure you. Actually, it's a lake ... part of a group of four all connected by short streams .... Bottle Pond, Padille Pond, Puddle Pond, and Portage Lake. It's quite deep in places and holds some really nice trout. Haven't fished it for a couple of years, though. You need a boat to fish it properly but it's kind of hard to get one to it now, since a bridge on an access road off a logging road is in a state of disrepair. Besides that, I have all the fishing I can handle with Atlantic salmon in Labrador and here on the island. It sure was pretty on this day, though!
This is probably my favourite shot from our trip to the Kimberley region of Western Australia - camel riding at sunset on Cable Beach.
Have a happy one !

This Mum was nesting in a small tree outside my lodge. The chick when born will have claws on two of its wing digits.
This place is called 't Otterbos, In spring time it is a beautiful place, 2016.
It is a place of wet lands just outside the dike of polder De Wijde Wormer at a location almost hardly to reach. If you know the start of the dead end road, than you will find it by car. It is a place of wet lands just outside the dike of polder De Wijde Wormer at a location almost hardly to reach. But for cyclist it is easy now, because it is part of a whole network of cycling paths in the area Waterland-Zaanstreek.
Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments.
This is one of the birds I most wanted to see during my recent trip to Florida. The tiny white and pink dots I saw at the far side of Upper Myakka Lake during my first two visits to the reserve didn't count. On my third and final visit I got lucky. I think this one is an immature bird (under 3 years) as mature birds are a deeper pink and have an orange tail.
Taken at Myakka River State Park, Florida.
Another glorious morning in the Tuscany, at famous Podere Belvedere.
Enjoy...

INDIEN, Khajuraho (Tempel)
Most Khajuraho temples were built between 950 and 1050 by the Chandela dynasty. Historical records note that the Khajuraho temple site had 85 temples by 12th century, spread over 20 square kilometers. Of these, only about 20 temples have survived, spread over 6 square kilometers. Of the various surviving temples, the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple is decorated with a profusion of sculptures with intricate details, symbolism and expressiveness of ancient Indian art
The Khajuraho temples feature a variety of art work, of which 10% is sexual or erotic art outside and inside the temples. Some of the temples that have two layers of walls have small erotic carvings on the outside of the inner wall. Some scholars suggest these to be tantric sexual practices.] Other scholars state that the erotic arts are part of Hindu tradition of treating kama as an essential and proper part of human life, and its symbolic or explicit display is common in Hindu temples. James McConnachie, in his history of the Kamasutra, describes the sexual-themed Khajuraho sculptures as "the apogee of erotic art":

Mural on a building side in downtown Des Moines, Iowa
"You can almost hear her gasp!
A blonde woman from a vintage comic strip looks in wide-eyed shock at the graffiti spreading across the wall of a building downtown. ....
Weber ....The artist is known for politically and socially charged artwork along the lines of the current exhibition he guest-curated at Moberg Gallery, which helped arrange the Workspace commission.
But the new mural’s message is more subtle, he said. The blonde woman represents “the overall American consumer” or a “more traditional” Des Moines citizen reacting to downtown’s rapid growth. Partially hidden among the graffiti tags are Dopey from Disney’s “Snow White” and a pair of Smurfs, whose woodland habitat is threatened by development.
“In any city in America, there are murals everywhere. In Oakland, you can’t go two blocks without seeing one,” Weber said, praising downtown Des Moines’ own murals by artists Chris Vance, Van Holmgren and others. “Hopefully, in another year or two, we’ll have twice as many.”
