My last day at work before the Xmas break was sunny so I went to the park at lunchtime. As always there were plenty of squirrels searching for food.
The palace in Jankowice was built at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and its reconstruction took place in 1803 on the order of Wawrzyniec Engestrӧm (a Swedish envoy alongside King Stanisław August Poniatowski), who settled in Wielkopolska. The palace was built in the style of romanticism. It is surrounded by a park with an area of 18.6 ha. There is a pond with 4 islands and a rich tree stand with 50 species (limes, plane trees, chestnuts, oaks and others).
The palace and park complex is owned by the Tarnowo Podgórne commune, which carried out a thorough renovation and revitalization of the park in 2018.

Capitol Reef National Park is one of the lessor visited parks in Utah but in my opinion still very scenic.
When we stopped at the visitor center, I saw this cool picture of this old barn up on one of the walls. I thought it made a great composition so I had to capture it.
Luckily it's only a mile or 2 down from the visitor center at the Gifford Homestead.
Per the National Park service website... The original home was built in 1908 by polygamist Calvin Pendleton. He and his family occupied it for eight years. The original house had a combined front room/kitchen and two small bedrooms. An outside ladder accessed two upstairs bedrooms. Pendleton also constructed the barn and smokehouse, as well as the rock walls near the house and on the mesa slopes above it.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!
The estate around the castle is about 130 hectares. The park of Groeneveld castle was built in the Dutch Baroque style, which is characterized by strict geometric shapes and impressive driveways.
When the English landscape style took off in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the park was transformed. Water features, hills, winding paths and trees were created.
An ice cellar was also constructed. It still exists and is now inhabited by big-eared bats.
A colonnade built on an octagonal floor plan with eight Ionic columns, four of which are replicas of eighteenth-century vases in Canyons Park in Baarn.

Katrina Chavez allowed me to practice some more "strobist" stuff. This pic was shot at dusk using two Speedlights. So it was still windy and had to catch my speedlight with the umbrella several times, while her hair kept getting blown. Wind in Bakersfield? Come on!!!

Great Falls Park, Virginia. Great Falls Park is a small National Park Service (NPS) site in Virginia, United States. Situated on 800 acres (3.2 km2) along the banks of the Potomac River in northern Fairfax County, the park is a disconnected but integral part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. The Great Falls of the Potomac River are near the northern boundary of the park, as are the remains of the Patowmack Canal, the first canal in the United States that used locks to raise and lower boats.
