La Valle del Noce (Basilicata) è particolarmente rilevante per le vicende storiche legate alla collocazione strategica lungo le strade di congiungimento di Sicilia e Calabria con le regioni centro-settendrionali; per la bellezza del territorio sul mare (Maratea) e della parte interna (Lagonegro, Lauria, Nemoli, Rivello, Tracchina).
A before work shot - left my hotel at 4:30 AM and then had fingers crossed I would get some color in the sky. Got back to the hotel at 7:30 AM, quick shower and then into work.
Builit in 1846 and recently renovated, the temple is beautiful to see and required the right lighting to be captured.
There are a total of 37 golden spires that symbolize the 37 virtues that are required to reach enlightenment.

Rio Claro Bridge - Central Chile - Maule Region
Hi everyone... I want to give your wonderful guys and gals an update... although I still struggle with chronic pain on a daily basis, some days are better than others. I still cannot shoot like I was used to... stooping, bending over, sitting on the ground, etc as is necessary to shoot macro, still isn't possible for me. For now, I must be content to (re)edit and (re)publish shots in my archives.
If you are in a position to help, I have setup an account to accept donations, even as little as the price of a coffee. Anything would be greatly appreciated. See my "About" page on Flickr for the link. Thank you. www.flickr.com/people/jax_chile/

Eyjafjöll region (Drangshlid) 20200731
The Eyjafjöll region, which stretches from the Markarfljót river in the west to the Jökulsá river on Sólheimasandur in the east, is an area of varied landscape, nature and wildlife with a long and colorful history.
The local economy is based largely on agriculture and tourism.
The Painted Desert area is a broad region of rocky badlands encompassing more than 93,500 acres, this vast landscape features rocks in every hue – from deep lavenders and rich grays to reds, oranges and even pinks.
Located in Northern Arizona, the Painted Desert stretches from Grand Canyon National Park eastward to Petrified Forest National Park, with a large portion lying within the Navajo Nation.
A natural canvas millions of years in the making, no one event shaped the Painted Desert. Instead, the area – which is home to many memorable formations and features – serves as proof of the earth’s volatility: volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods and sunlight all combined to create the Painted Desert. Deposits of clay and sandstone, stacked in elegant layers, play with the setting Arizona sun in an altering display of colorful radiance.
Both the Navajo and Hopi people have lived in the region for hundreds of years, but it was Spanish Colonialists who gave this landscape the name we know it by today – El Desierto Pintado.
Thank you for your comments.

Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord - in the village of Krasnoye, Staritsky District, Tver Region, Russia.
In the second half of the 18th century, M.F. Poltoratsky became the owner of the estate in the village of Krasnoye, Staritsky district, who decided to replace the old wooden church with a new one, copied from the famous Chesme church, built in 1777-1780 by order of Catherine II by architect Yu. M. Felten near Petersburg.
His first petition “to build a stone church with his own kosht” dates back to 1783. After a second petition, Bishop Ioasaph Zabolotsky signed the charter of the church on July 30, 1785.
The construction of the temple was carried out under the care and dependency of his wife for five years, and was completed in 1790.
Built in a pseudo-Gothic style, it is an almost exact copy of the Chesme Church in St. Petersburg, built 10 years earlier.
The height of the structure is 24 meters, length and width - about 20 meters.
In 1931, the Soviet authorities closed the temple. The bells were sent for melting down, the stone fence was dismantled and transported to Staritsa, to the city garden. The interior of the church was used for the needs of the local collective farm, destroyed and dilapidated.
In 1997, the restoration of the temple began.
Церковь Преображения Господня — в селе Красном Старицкого района Тверской области России.
Во второй половины XVIII века владельцем усадьбы в селе Красное Старицкого уезда стал М. Ф. Полторацкий, который решил взамен старой деревянной церкви построить новую, скопированную со знаменитой Чесменской церкви, сооружённой в 1777—1780 годах по повелению Екатерины II архитектором Ю. М. Фельтеном близ Петербурга.
Первое его ходатайство «построить каменную церковь собственным коштом» относится к 1783 году. После повторного прошения епископ Иоасаф Заболотский 30 июля 1785 года подписал храмоздательную грамоту.
Строительство храма осуществлялось попечением и иждивением его супруги на протяжении пяти лет, и было закончено в 1790 году.
Построен в псевдоготическом стиле, является почти точной копией Чесменской церкви в Санкт-Петербурге, построенной на 10 лет раньше.
Высота сооружения составляет 24 метра, длина и ширина — около 20 м.
В 1931 году советские власти закрыли храм. Колокола были отправлены на переплавку, каменная ограда разобрана, перевезена в Старицу, в городской сад. Внутреннее помещение церкви использовалось для нужд местного колхоза, разрушалось и ветшало.
В 1997 году началось восстановление храма.

Bridge Lake, BC
Canada
Bridge Lake sits at an elevation of 1136 m / 3727 ft, has a surface area of 13.76 km2, and a total shoreline perimeter of 47 km (the main shoreline is 30 km / 20 mi, and the combined shoreline of the islands is 17 km). The lake has 26 scattered islands. One island is an inland refuge for the Bonaparte gulls while another is a home base for bald-headed eagles. You can catch kokanee, lake trout and rainbow.
The small community of Bridge Lake, located in the Interlakes district of the Southern Cariboo, was originally situated on the historic Fur Brigade Trail. The Fur Brigade Trail dates back to the early pioneer days of fur trading and was a combination of waterways and overland trails, used to connect trading posts. After the construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road during the 1860s the Fur Brigade Trail became redundant.
The beautiful Interlakes area is aptly named the “Fishing Highway”, as anglers can access over 300 lakes, making this one of the best fishing spots in British Columbia.
