Yellowstone National Park has such an amazing variety of landscapes--from lush meadows, sparkling lakes and streams, to stark devastation with just the beginnings of new life appearing. Magnificent!

Italien, In Malcesine(TN) am Gardasee.

Der Gardasee (italienisch Lago di Garda oder Bènaco), einer der oberitalienischen Seen, ist der größte See Italiens, benannt nach der Gemeinde Garda am Ostufer. Sein antiker Name lautete von etwa 200 v. Chr. bis 800 n. Chr. Lacus benacus. Der Name soll von einer alten Gottheit namens Benacus abstammen.

Malcesine ist eine norditalienische Gemeinde am Ostufer des Gardasees in der Provinz Verona mit 3689 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2019).

Malcesine wird häufig als „Perle des Gardasees“ bezeichnet. Mit diesem Begriff werden jedoch oft auch andere Orte wie Riva del Garda oder Limone sul Garda in Verbindung gebracht. Der Ort ist stark vom Tourismus geprägt.

Simple work today as I am running late. Made with a white background, a thin bottle brush handle and a torch.

..... and a little melancholy.

“The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland's most popular attractions, and it's is little wonder as to why. The beautiful milky-blue water is unlike anything else found on earth, and makes a stark contrast to the surrounding black lava field and its creeping grey moss. It sits at 39°C (102°F) year-round, making it the perfect temperature for bathing.

The lagoon is situated on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland, a region renowned for its barren landscapes and cone-shaped volcanoes. It is only a 15-minute drive from the Keflavík International Airport, and around a 30-minute drive from the capital city of Iceland, Reykjavík.”

Although the Blue Lagoon is not pictured here, I thought that the lava field was a fantastic panorama of rugged beauty, and was a highlight of the trip....

Dark and Stark still bare from winter the trees are reaching for what little sun there is.

Schnee und Eis entschuldigen kein Zuspätkommen

Stark Day absence of color in the gray sky's and white trees in this surreal photograph, shot in North Carolina.

San Diego is marketed as America's Finest City, with year-round near perfect weather, beautiful beaches, quick access to the desert, and plentiful opportunities for fun in the sun. "One foot in the Pacific, one foot in the desert" and an authenticity different from California's other major cities.

Sometimes, when the winters have more moisture than normal, San Diego reveals a different side...with green growth across the landscape, snow in the Laguna Mountains, and flooding in the streets along the coastal areas.

This is no less San Diego than the 70° and sunny days that we typically enjoy...it is authentic and no less beautiful to my eye.

Trees in the grounds of Newark Castle have a stark beauty when viewed floodlit on a rainy night recently.

Wäre 218 436 eine gebrauchte Märklinlok und bei ebay verkäuflich, so stünde beim Artikelzustand sicherlich "stark bespielt". Das fiel mir im Sommer 2022 auf, war aber offensichtlich auch schon anno 2017 so. Ihr Lack weist viele abgenutzte weiße Stellen auf.

Am fortgeschrittenen Nachmittag des 8. Juni 2017 wurden Frau und Kinder mal kurz am Wasserburger Badeplatz alleine gelassen, um den IRE 4232 an den beiden östlichen Ausfahrtssignalen von Enzisweiler abzulichten. Unerwartet zugewachsen ging es dort zu. Nicht nur das Gebüsch rechts erschwerte die Umsetzung. Vielmehr war Gleis 1 gar nicht in das Bild zu integrieren. So scheint das linke Signal "bedeutungslos" in der hochgewachsenen Wiese zu stehen.

Much of Kansas feels very desolate to me. The majority of the land is taken up by crops for livestock, trees are sparse, and after harvesting, the soil appears almost grey in color. Still, there are pockets of beauty in it, like this field with an exquisitely aged, abandoned building on it.

The stark beauty of the Farne Islands - rugged, inhospitable, but yet beautiful all the same!

Shot taken today on my drive home from the lake. I found the shot more interesting in negative format.

This shot at Jewel Changi Airport was an interesting one to take with the stark contrast in expressions. The grandfather looks very happy to hold his granddaughter, who in contrast doesn't seem too happy about it and looks distracted elsewhere.
