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.

This is one beautiful bird and a fast flyer! We saw them all through the Pantanal, mainly in areas with open fields. They were beginning their courtship and were just beautifully colored! Thanks for looking and all of the wonderful favorites!! Judy Lynn and Gary Malloch put together a great trip!

I thought I'd go back to a few of my 2008 Teton fall photos and I went no further when I saw this one. I remember well the clarity of the water and the rocks along the river bed. That was an intense year for the Teton fall colors...one of the best I've seen over the years.
Thanks for stopping by.
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...
Obviously Occupational Health and Safety has not yet reached Myanmar. This is re-sleepering Burmese style. 4 railway workers carry a concrete sleeper to install into their line works just outside Yangon Central Railway Station.
These trees were at the back of the site we stayed at. It was in Cornwall but overlooked the Devon countryside. I loved the view, even though I had to hop on and off a fairly unstable wall. The light was fabulous, just before a big storm.

This is Loch Tay just outside Kenmore, Scotland. We have had a long wet period and the loch has burst its banks in places.
A male snowy egret leaves the nest in search for another stick!!!! The female keeps sending him out to get sticks while she positions them in the nest so the future little ones don't fall out!!!! :-)

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.
My thoughts grow stormy, i can't see very far for the Dark clouds. There still is blue sky if you look
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":
This Great Blue Heron was chasing another GBH that had entered his part of the water. Taken at a local lake here in Colorado.
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.
Herdwick sheep are almost unique to the Lake District. They tend to be territorial and so do not stray across the open ranges of mountains when grazing outside of the walled enclosures of the lower pastures.
I have rarely seen Otago Harbour this still. On this morning the water became like a canvas reflecting every detail in the sky.
The villa at the Podere (farm) Belvedere is situated just outside the town of San Quirico. It is arguably the most photographed location in the whole of Tuscany.
Perched on top of a small hill... and surrounded by cypress trees and mist-filled valleys... the Belvedere villa perfectly represents the mood and magic of Tuscany. Photos of the house and landscape grace every single Tuscan calendar... and its image is used to promote everything from Italian cuisine and wine, to Ford motor cars.
Of all the locations that I'd researched before my trip to Tuscany... this was the one that I was most eager to capture. It is not surprising then, that my favourite image from my trip was captured here. Actually... my three most favourite images were all captured here... all composed completely differently... and all captured under different lighting conditions.
This five-image (portrait format) panorama is my third most favourite image... it was captured shortly before sunrise... on the first morning of my trip.
