The Piano Grande is a large high plateau surrounded by the Sibillini Mountains on the border of Umbria and le Marche.
This spectacular natural amphitheatre in the surrounding hills is one of Italy’s hidden treasures.
It becomes a truly paradise to outdoor travelers and landscape photographers, especially during the spring and summer.

Where there are fishing nets and boats, there seems to be birds. This is such a common sight in Cochin and the surrounding area.
I first saw Cochin when it was a port of call of the Star Clipper lines. You have seen the water flowers of the backwaters. They also fill some of the harbor of this area too. Imagine slowing coming into port on a huge clipper ship with mammoth sails flying and seeing this fishing paradise.
If that wasn't enough to take your breath away, there are graceful Chinese fishing nets adorning the coast as well. Cochin is a memorable city.
Moritzburg Castle (Schloss Moritzburg) or Moritzburg Palace is a Baroque palace in Moritzburg, in the German state of Saxony, about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) northwest of the Saxon capital, Dresden.
The castle has four round towers and lies on a symmetrical artificial island. It is named after Duke Moritz of Saxony, who had a hunting lodge built there between 1542 and 1546. The surrounding woodlands and lakes were a favourite hunting area of the electors and kings of Saxony.
In 1972 Moritzburg Castle was one of the locations of the Czechoslovak-German film Tři oříšky pro Popelku ("Three Nuts for Cinderella"), which became a popular fairy-tale movie in Central Europe.
Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Norfolk
Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.
The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.
Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.

During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.

Skjelfjord on the Norwegian Lofoten islands in the afternoon hours. We were doing some long exposures there when all of a sudden the entire fjord and its surrounding mountains came to life with strong sunlight of the low afternoon sun. A moment to remember :)

This Sparrowhawk hunts my garden and the surrounding gardens it can occasionally be seen flying at amazing speed in such a confined space as such gardens offer . Luckily for the local songbirds this one seems to have a taste for the small feral Pigeons that tuck their nests by the solar panels on the neighboring houses .

I have a lot of images remaining to process, but wanted to get something posted from my weekend trip to Jasper Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in northwest Indiana. This location is an annual stopover for thousands of cranes during migration, with just under thirty thousand reported earlier in the week before our arrival. We were not fortunate enough to see them in quite those concentrated numbers at the refuge, but did find large flocks-- ranging in size from dozens to hundreds-- in the surrounding farmland. The weather was variable, but there were times when we had quite nice light for photography, which is not a given at this location.

This historic mill and surrounding houses are located along the Baltimore Pike in Glen Mills, PA. As the story goes it is haunted by a woman from the mid-1800s who lost her 15-year-old son in the civil war. She became so distraught she threw herself into the swiftly moving mill stream and drowned. I believe this house is the miller house where she lived if the story is authentic.
A view of Phra Sawet Kudakhan Wihan Yot from the Ramakien Gallery surrounding Wat Phra Kaew.
Wikipedia: The Phra Sawet Kudakhan Wihan Yot (พระเศวตกุฏาคารวิหารยอด) or the Wihan Yot extends northwards from the terrace. The building, a vihara, serves as a Buddha image hall, and was first built by Rama III to house many important Buddha images. The building has a cruciform plan and is topped in the middle of the roof with a tall spire in the form of a crown. The spire is decorated with colored porcelain in floral designs. The top of the window arches display the royal cypher of Rama V under a crown; this indicates that vihara was restored by the King. Bronze figures of Tantima birds—birds with a human torso and Garuda head—guard the entrances on the west and east sides. The doors of the vihara feature mother-of-pearl inlay and were taken from Wat Pa Mok in Ang Thong Province.

Spent yesterday afternoon on the hunt for Snowy Owls. After a couple hours I was about to call it quits when I happened upon this fine feathered friend sitting up on top of a telelphone pole. She was kind enough to give me a glance while surveying the surrounding area.
Thanks for viewing and have a great day!!
This kayaker was peacefully enjoying the grand view on the reflective waters of Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park, Montana. My wife and I had just finished a hiking tour. I could not resist the opportunity of sneaking behind and framing him and his colorful kayak into this shot along with the pristine reflective lake water and surrounding peaks. I love the result.

Surrounding Wonder Lake is a hiking trail called Blueberry Hill. It's a 2 mile National Park maintained trail with steady inclines to summit with views of Wonder Lake and the Alaska Range. This is one of the easier hikes in the park but in my opinion had some of the best views.
This is a sequel to my Denali reflections posted earlier without the reflections. The weather can change very quickly so anytime you can see the Denali range is a treat. It was almost a surreal view when we got there. We stared in awe for a few minutes admiring the beauty.

After the visit to San Gimignano and surrounding areas I spend three days in a beautiful Country Hotel named Borgo Tre Rose, with 360° of view of the wonderful hills and vineyards of Tuscany.
I intended to visit Pienza, Val d'Orcia and Lago Trasimeno, unforgetable places of the Tuscany and Umbria region, but unfortunately I had not health conditions to do this.
As you can see in the next photos this place is very pleasant and appropriate to relax. The view from there is fabulous, and the amount of flowers had enchanted me and made me forget for a while everything that I have missed in this region.

this was so hard to crop - the surrounding countryside was so stunning but it took a lot away from the tree - been trying to get this tree correctly for week's - it rained cat's and dog's after this shot was taken. Hope you like it.
