Mayfield was established in 1984, initially as a sheep farm. The heart of the property has been gradually transformed – with the help of talented local landscapers and tradespeople – from bare paddocks into one of the largest, privately owned cool climate gardens in the world. Mayfield has been inspired by the magnificent gardens of Europe. Owned by the Hawkins family, Mayfield Garden (open 363 days of the year) and The Hawkins’ Family Garden, together, cover more than 64 hectares (160 acres). While the garden represents one family’s dream, the long-term vision is that it will be enjoyed by people from near and far for generations to come. 43490

This is the flat and relatively wide area of the pass, which, under the snow, hides the Pramollo lake/Stausee, which is a shallow artificial basin where the water, coming out of the soaked peat bog that characterizes the surrounding land, converges.
Peat is a deep and water-rich soil, with these characteristics it has helped the Spruce (Picea abies or Picea excelsea) to stay quite healthy despite the many dry and extremely hot summers (even at high altitudes).
Elsewhere this tree, a prevalent component of the Siberian taiga and widespread in the inner Alpine valleys, is suffering from parasites and lichens that attack this tree weakened by a soil that has become progressively poorer and too hot in summer.
A high percentage of this species has already died, especially in the sloping areas where water is scarcer, the land more exposed to the sun and generally to the wind that on October 29, 2018 (Vaia/Scirocco Storm) caused a domino effect of these weakened trees, especially between Carnia, Comelico and Cadore.

It is precisely on the slopes that the Spruce/red Fir/Norway Spruce would be most useful, as an anti-landslide, thanks to its ability to root widely and deeply, but the moist and fresh soil it needs is now only found in the valleys with marked thermal inversion or in these high mountain areas where the snow is still abundant and resilient, while peat, as mentioned, is very useful in this case.

To facilitate the arrival of Italian skiers, the Austrian resort helps clear the snow from the small, winding road, that leads to Nassfeld from Pontebba and with its snowcats spreads fresh snow on a cross-country ski run, which is also a pedestrian path, (despite the disagreements...), which makes an 8 in this area, all in Italian territory, and thanks to them, it must be said, this pass is almost always reachable, even in the middle of winter, effectively cleared after a snowstorm and easily walkable and skiable thanks to the compressed snow.
Surrounding areas in Carluke, Scotland. Snow had fallen two days before then it was a cold -4c on this day.

“For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.”
Claude Monet (French painter, initiator and leader of the Impressionist style, 1840-1926)

Shanghai Book City, 465 Fuzhou Rd., Shanghai
Since 2014 in China, bookstores—both private and state-run—prominately display the leader’s official writings, now published in multiple volumes and translated into numerous languages.
In this photograph, between the leader's glorious works (the white-covered volumes on the left) and the red-bound books on the right documenting his glorious experiences and achievements, the guy on the floor is absorbed in a mobile game. What I couldn’t capture in this photo was another man dozing off behind me.
It's always sad to see and hear of surrounding fires however if you can put a silver lining to it, the atmosphere it creates produces beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
One of the gorges around Kazimierz Dolny in Poland :)
Gorge Root Pit (in Polish: "Wąwóz Korzeniowy Dół"), one of the loess gorges surrounding the town Kazimierz Dolny and propably the most beautiful, it's the picturesque place, which owes its name to the powerful roots of the trees that cover its walls along its entire length. You can meet tourists there at any time of the year. The rays of light shining through the roots and trunks, blurring with loess ground and green vegetation make quite a remarkable impression. That is why the Root Tunnel is amongst the favourite themes of artists painting the landscapes of Kazimierz Dolny.

Mały spacer przez jeden z wąwozów wokół Kazimierza Dolnego :)
Korzeniowy Dół - jeden z lessowych wąwozów znajdujących się wokół Kazimierza i uważany za najpiękniejszy. O każdej porze roku można tam spotkać turystów. Jego niezwykłe ściany, wysokie na kilka metrów, strome i pionowe niejako oprawione zostały korzeniami i pniami drzew przybierającymi tu niepowtarzalne formy smoków, węży czy maszkaronów. Światło, przezierające przez korzenie i pnie zlewające się z lessowym podłożem oraz zielenią sprawia, że wrażenia kolorystyczne są tu zdumiewające. Dlatego też Wąwóz Korzeniowy jest jednym z ulubionych motywów malarskich kazimierskich pejzażystów.
A little bit of Fall color is still hanging on along the surrounding hillsides as four NS GE built units lead an eastbound manifest through the once prosperous coaling town of Keystone, WV on the Pocahontas District.
Mount Siguniang National Park lies 220km west of Chengdu, in the Qionglai Mountains of western Sichuan in China.
Legend has it that the four snow-capped peaks were originally the four daughters of the mountain god.
The park is comprised of Mount Siguniang itself and the three most accessible valleys surrounding it. The nearest town is Rilong. The three valleys are called Changping Valley, Haizi Valley and Shuangqiao Valley.
I trekked in the Changpingou in autumn when the deciduous larch trees provided an amazing colour show. Truly a spectacular sight!

Small church on the mountain Sveti Jure :)
Mountain Sveti Jure (St. George mountain) is the highest peak in the Biokovo range (1762 m) and the second highest mountain in Croatia, located about 25 km from Makarska. There is a road to the top, through national park Biokovo, the highest road in Croatia. From the top is a wonderful view of the Makarska coast and the surrounding islands. On clear days you can even see Monte Gargano in Italy, located 210 km away. At the very top there is a radio and television transmitter built in 1965 by the Zagreb Television, which is 90 meters high, and the top of the transmitter is the highest point in Croatia at 1,850 meters. On the mountain Sveti Jure, there is also a church of the same name, built in 1968, near the old church that was pulled down due to the construction of the transmitter. Once a year, on the last Saturday of July, a mass is celebrated there.
Biokovo is the second-highest mountain range in Croatia, located along the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea, between the rivers of Cetina and Neretva and it's 36 km long and 9.5 km wide. Biokovo was established in the Cretaceous period (65 million years ago), during the collision of the African tectonic plate with the European one. Its highest peak is Sveti Jure (Saint George), at 1762 m.a.s.l., the second highest peak in Croatia. It shows a typical karst landscape. From the sea side, Biokovo is characterized by very steep and bare limestone walls, beneath which lies a narrow coastal strip. In 1981, the area of 19,550 ha was protected as the Biokovo Nature Park thanks to the unique values of geomorphological forms, plant and animal species and natural beauty.

Kościółek na górze Sveti Jure :)
Sveti Jure (góra Świętego Jerzego) – szczyt o wysokości 1762 m n.p.m., w paśmie Biokovo w Górach Dynarskich. Najwyższy punkt Biokova i druga co do wysokości góra Chorwacji. Można do niego dotrzeć szlakami turystycznymi lub drogą Biokovo, najwyżej położoną drogą w Chorwacji. Ze szczytu rozciąga się wspaniały widok na wybrzeże Makarskiej oraz okoliczne wyspy. W pogodne dni można zobaczyć nawet Monte Gargano we Włoszech, oddalone o 210 km. Na samym szczycie znajduje się nadajnik radiowo-telewizyjny zbudowany w 1965 roku przez ówczesną Telewizję Zagrzeb, który ma 90 metrów wysokości, a szczyt nadajnika jest najwyższym punktem w Chorwacji o wysokości 1850 metrów. Na górze Św. Jerzego znajduje się też kościół o tej samej nazwie, wybudowany w 1968 roku, niedaleko starego kościoła, który został zburzony z powodu budowy nadajnika. Raz w roku, w ostatnią sobotę lipca, odbywa się w nim msza św.
Biokovo – masyw górski, położony w środkowej części wybrzeża dalmatyńskiego, o długości 36 km i szerokości 9,5 km. Największy i najwyższy masyw w Dalmacji. Biokovo powstało w kredzie (65 milionów lat temu), podczas zderzenia afrykańskiej płyty tektonicznej z europejską. Jako część Masywu Dynarskiego tworzą go przeważnie eoceńskie pokłady i mezozoiczne skały osadowe. Od strony morza Biokovo charakteryzuje się bardzo stromymi i nagimi wapiennymi ścianami, pod którymi leży wąski pas nadmorski. Najwyższym szczytem jest góra Świętego Jerzego (Sveti Jure – 1762 m n.p.m.), drugi co do wysokości szczyt Chorwacji. W 1981 roku obszar 19 550 ha został objęty ochroną jako Park Przyrodniczy Biokovo, dzięki wyjątkowym wartościom form geomorfologicznych, gatunków roślinnych i zwierzęcych oraz urodzie naturalnej.
I just got back from two great weeks in southern Ontario during Spring Migration: Point Pelee National Park and surrounding areas for 7 days and Long Point for 4 1/2. While the focus was birds of course I got to experience many wonderful sights of other wildlife and scenery too.
Here's my first image from my first full day at Point Pelee. I expect that many more to come over the next couple of weeks as I process my images.
This Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher was foraging along the edge of the east side beach at the "Tip" at Point Pelee. I was fortunately enough to catch it in mid-flight as it flitted from branch to branch.

Llandanwg Beach sits between the towns of Barmouth and Harlech on the southern side of Tremadog Bay. It is also part of the wider Snowdonia National Park and situated close to the pretty Afon Dwyryd estuary.
The sand dunes to the back of the beach conceal the tiny church of Saint Tanwg which dates from the 13th century. A small path winds through the dunes and leads you to the beach from the central car park area or you can take a trail from Cardigan Bay. As you sit on the pristine sands you will also be able to enjoy vistas of the rugged Rhinog Mountains in the distance.
The beach here shelves gently into the sea making this a good place to swim, although there is no lifeguard so care should be taken. When the tide is low, it reveals a causeway out to pretty Mochras which is also known by its local nickname of Shell Island due to the plethora of different hued shells found on the its beach.
Due to its strategic position, Llandanwg Beach is shielded from the well known Welsh winds which can be a little fresh at times meaning that you can enjoy this area even in the off-season. The beach is also well-loved by locals including fisherman who come here for the plentiful supplies of bass, mackerel, flatfish, and dogfish. With that in mind keen anglers will find plenty to do here, or you can explore dainty rock pools or simply go for a stroll on the soft, pristine sand.
Amenities at Traeth Llandanwg include disabled access and the village is also home to the quaint Y Maes Cafe close to the beach which operates from June to October.

While walking the Devils Postpile Upper Trail with a view looking to the southwest across the hexagonal patterns with its columnar basalt. My thinking in composing this image was to make more of a layered approach with the nearby overlook that then lead to a more distant mountainside. As the skies above were mainly overcast with forest fire haze, I worked the angle on my Nikon SLR camera to have the surrounding landscape filling most of the image while minimizing what I felt was a negative space with the skies above.
Amtrak train 8, the eastbound 'Empire Builder' pokes between the buildings surrounding the former Milwaukee Road main line at Seeboth St, where searchlights still guard a set of crossovers, which number eight is taking advantage of to switch to the "northbound" main.
The old fire station at Skansen is located on one of the hills surrounding the city of Bergen, Western Norway. The fire station is constructed in 1903 after a major fire on September 22nd, 1901 destroyed a large part of the city center.
Inside the fire station there was room for one fire wagon, a stable room for one horse and a work room. On the first floor the fire chief had a flat, and the watchman sat in the tower, where he had a telegraph and a direct telephone line to the main fire station in town.
Skansen fire station was not in use during daytime. At night the station had a watchman awake in the tower and a fireman on duty while he slept, unless, of course there was a fire.
The station acquired its first fire engine in 1936. At this time the last horse, Olav, was retired. He was given a new position in the municipal waste disposal service. The fire station was closed down in 1969, and today Buekorpset – the Drummer Boys Battalion – keeps guard at Skansen.
