The remains of the early 16th century Bastione, a fortress erected by the Republic of Venice to protect Riva against attacks from the north. Construction began in 1507, it was rapidly completed - and already in 1509 the complete fortress fell to the prince-bishop of Trento, George von Neideck, after the Venetians lost an unrelated battle.
This is the roundel, or battery tower, of the fortress, the main remaining structure.
The fortress was fully functional until the mid 17th century, after that it decayed. In 1703, during the War of the Spanish Succession, the Bastione was undermined and blown up by French troops.
After this the structure decayed further until restoration efforts in the mid 20th and early 21st century brought it to its current appearance.

A lone Maple declares itself in autumn in the depths of a forest of Arbor Vitae. It does not stand out like this when green, or bare. Its shade tolerance will, in due time, lead it to dominance in this place.

No 2999 ‘Lady of Legend’ is a recreation of the Saint Class locomotive. The gap in the ‘line of succession’ created by the absence of a Saint in the GWS collection was identified early in the Society’s history and the Centre has long held an ambition to create a working Saint to help demonstrate the GWR story to its visitors. That ambition came to fruition in 2019 with the completion of a project, 45 years in the making, to build locomotive 2999 using parts from 4942 ‘Maindy Hall’ (one of the classes developed from the Saint design). No. 4942 had been purchased in the early 1970s with the specific purpose of recreating a Saint, by reversing the process the GWR had used in 1925 when the prototype Hall Class was produced by the conversion of ‘Saint Martin’, but early attempts floundered and the prospect of success remained a dream until 1995 when the project started in earnest.

Experimenting with LE images on the iPhone I used the Moment photo app and a tripod. The app takes several images in quick succession, then blends them to give a LE affect to the photo. It was surprisingly easy to do and I was pleased with the results.

My last observation session dates back to October 31 because since it is only a succession of meteorological disturbances that prevents any exit, fortunately with 51 cumulative lookout sessions on this spot since July 1, I was able to constitute myself a good "Martin" file
** Click on the two arrows at the top right of the image to get the "full screen" instead of clicking directly on the image, as it has a very large format, it degrades if you click directly on it. .... **
PS: any request to share with a group will be rejected immediately, I do not want any publicity on my work (I have largely passed the age to receive Oscars, Good Points and other nonsense of this kind ... ) , thank you for your understanding .

Northern Bobwhites occur throughout Florida in appropriate habitat. They depend on early successional habitat created by frequent fire in mature upland pine forests. Other habitats include fallow agricultural fields dominated by species such as ragweed and the edges of cultivated grain fields. The best habitat combination is frequently burned upland pine forests interspersed with fallow fields/openings. At one time, this was a common habitat in Florida and abundant quail populations were a by-product. This is not the case today, and quail occur in abundant numbers only on those lands that are actively managed to replicate the land use patterns described above.
The northern bobwhite is one of the signature game species of upland long leaf pine forests. In the spring, visitors to these habitats can expect to hear the males whistle the tell-tale “bobwhite” call. In the fall/winter, it's not uncommon to be surprised by a covey of quail flushing from a brushy area.
Bobwhites feed and roost in coveys of 8 to 25 birds. They forage on the ground for a variety of seeds, insects, fruits and plant parts. Females lay 12 to 16 eggs in a shallow nest built on the ground and hidden beneath vegetation.
The northern bobwhite or bobwhite quail is a medium-sized, round-bodied bird with a short tail and neck. Plumage is reddish brown with streaking on the sides. Males have a black-and-white stripe above and below the eye with a white throat patch; in females, the stripe and throat patch is tan and buff brown.

13 vertical shots taken in quick succession with the Voightlander 35mm on f5.6, stitched and developed in Affinity. I seem to not have great luck with panos, the waves or clouds move too quickly and there are miss matches in the stitch. By using the manual lens, no auto focus, set aperture, I was able to fire off a bunch of shots in quick succession and this one actually worked. In this case, the accidental setting on Super 35 worked in my favor I think, giving a really nice sense of the ridge.
Les Calanques, connues aussi sous l'appellation calanques de Marseille, sont constituées d'une succession d'anses et de criques s'étendant sur plus de vingt kilomètres de côtes sur la mer Méditerranée entre les quartiers marseillais de la Madrague de Montredon et des Goudes d'une part, et entre le cap Croisette et la ville de Cassis d'autre part. Elles sont réparties sur le littoral des massifs de Marseilleveyre et du Puget. Par commodité de langage, cet ensemble montagneux est aussi appelé massif des Calanques. C'est l'un des sites naturels les plus remarquables de France et une zone majeure de ressourcement pour le 1,5 à 2 millions de visiteurs par an à terre et en mer.
Le mot calanque (du provençal calanco) désigne une vallée creusée par une rivière, puis récupérée par la mer.
Les calanques bénéficient de la protection du parc national des Calanques créé en avril 2012 et qui est le premier parc national périurbain d'Europe et le 3e au monde. Afin de réempoissonner les eaux, certaines zones du parc sont interdites à la pêche pour servir de nurseries naturelles.
The Calanques, also known as the calanques of Marseille, are made up of a succession of coves and inlets extending over more than twenty kilometers of coastline on the Mediterranean Sea between the Marseilles districts of La Madrague de Montredon and Goudes on the one hand, and between Cape Croisette and the city of Cassis on the other. They are spread over the coast of the Marseilleveyre and Puget mountains. For convenience of language, this mountainous group is also called the Calanques massif. It is one of the most remarkable natural sites in France and a major healing area for 1.5 to 2 million visitors per year on land and at sea.
The word calanque (from Provençal calanco) designates a valley carved out by a river, then recovered by the sea.
The calanques benefit from the protection of the Calanques national park created in April 2012 and which is the first peri-urban national park in Europe and the 3rd in the world. In order to re-stock the waters, certain areas of the park are prohibited from fishing to serve as natural nurseries.
La chute d’or est en fait constituée d’une succession de deux chutes d’eau de 11 et 21 mètres, dont la hauteur totale atteint les 32 mètres. Les eaux de la rivière Hvita, qui prend sa source à quelques 40 kilomètres au nord de Gullfoss, au lac Hvítávatn, dans le deuxième plus grand glacier du pays, le Lángjökull, ont creusé un véritable canyon long de 2,5 kilomètres et large de plus de 70 mètres à l’endroit de la chute. C’est donc une rivière glaciaire dont on voit le plan intermédiaire et aperçoit la 2° chute
The golden fall is in fact made up of a succession of two waterfalls of 11 and 21 meters, the total height of which reaches 32 meters. The waters of the Hvita River, which rises some 40 kilometers north of Gullfoss, at Lake Hvítávatn, in the country's second largest glacier, the Lángjökull, have carved a veritable canyon 2.5 kilometers long and wide. more than 70 meters at the place of the fall. It is therefore a glacial river of which we can see the intermediate plane and see the 2nd fall

This is another impression from our journey criss-crossing Iceland's Westfjords, this image showing the "root" of a fjord where the road turns around. Every fjord has got its own style of mountain range and I guess that locals could recognise which fjord they are in just from having a look at thos emountains.
Digitalis ambigua è una scrophulariacea che vegeta al margine ombreggiato dei boschi montani, su suoli relativamente umidi. Si tratta di una pianta velenosa, la cui eleganza comunque sorprende. I fiori sono disposti in spighe allungate e la loro sequenza verticale presenta un indubbio pregio estetico. Al bombo, tuttavia, interessa il nettare e il suo lavoro di raccolta si svolge pertanto nella successione certicale che caratterizza l'infiorescenza ..... ..
I was at this summit several times during the week in succession to photograph the area at sunrise. But the light was never as I wanted it. Most of the time a thick cloud covered the entire sky over the entire area … until this morning here. Finally I said to myself, finally the mood was exactly as in my imagination. And as the sun greeted the world this morning, the first rays could reach the mountain top and bring some rock formations to shine. That was really impressive and my dog Giorgio and I were able to attend this wonderful spectacle while the rest of the world down in the valley was still in bed at this time in the morning!
Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated :-)

After the succession of storms to hit this country there now seems to be a brief window in the weather, and so we are taking advantage of this to head off down to our holiday home at Looe and a change of subject matter. This will therefore be my last posting for maybe a couple of weeks or so. Thank you all very much indeed for your visits and kind comments. I'll aim to catch up with you when we return.
The Royal Mile is a succession of streets forming the main thoroughfare of the Old Town of the city of Edinburgh in Scotland. The term was first used descriptively in W M Gilbert's Edinburgh in the Nineteenth Century (1901), "...with its Castle and Palace and the royal mile between", and was further popularised as the title of a guidebook, published in 1920.
From the Castle gates to the Palace gates the street is almost exactly a mile (1.6 km) long and runs downhill between two significant locations in the royal history of Scotland, namely Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, hence its name. The streets which make up the Royal Mile are (west to east) Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street, the Canongate and Abbey Strand. The Royal Mile is the busiest tourist street in the Old Town, rivalled only by Princes Street in the New Town. Wikipedia
Orleans Island is located downstream from Quebec City, in the estuary of the St. Lawrence River. It is surrounded by Chemin Royal, which links its six municipalities.
Three roads cross it in width. Île d’Orléans is a rural area that covers almost the entire island, which is approximately 34 km long and 8 km wide. A central ridge, mostly covered with forest, connects its ends. Its relief is marked by a series of terraces that extend from the banks. The regular subdivision punctuates the landscape.
Seen from the sky, the island appears as a succession of narrow and elongated rectangular lands, which are arranged on either side of a longitudinal line and which face the St. Lawrence River.
Agriculture has always been the dominant activity on the island, marked by dairy, fruit and vegetable production as well as maple products. Even today, agriculture occupies almost 95% of the territory.
Old houses, agricultural outbuildings, resort residences, contemporary constructions, village cores, coves, coastal wetlands, woods and escarpments also enliven these rural landscapes.
A declared heritage site
The Île d´Orléans heritage site is one of the first settlements in the St. Lawrence Valley. By the emigration of its population, from 1680, the island was the cradle of many families of the French-speaking world of America. The 300 families from France who settled there in the 17th century now have more than 100,000 descendants in North America.
Before the arrival of Europeans, the Île d´Orléans had long been frequented by Native Americans. Their presence dates back approximately 5,000 years.
Declared a heritage site in 1970, Île d´Orléans is of interest for its historical, landscape, architectural, archaeological, emblematic and identity values. The Orleans Island heritage site has some 3,600 buildings, of which 19 are listed as heritage buildings. It also has several archaeological sites.

Lodgepole pine forest after fire and Tokumm Creek, in Kootenay National Park, British Columbia, Canada.
In 2003 a lightning strike sparked the sprawling blaze, which lasted for weeks and consumed 17,000 hectares of forest in Kootenay National Park located roughly 230 kilometers west of Calgary.
Today — 17 years later — the park is still badly scared but vibrant lush foliage is starting to regenerate amid the charred trees. The creek is fed by melting glaciers and colored by finely ground material (glacial till).
I’m kind of privileged to see a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Catbirds give the impression of being entirely slate gray. With a closer look you’ll see a small black cap, blackish tail, and a rufous-brown patch under the tail
Gray Catbirds are relatives of mockingbirds and thrashers, and they share that group’s vocal abilities, copying the sounds of other species and stringing them together to make their own song. including the catlike mewing responsible for its name.....a succession of musical and mechanical notes and phrases.
Shafer Canyon and Trail, Canyonlands National Park, Utah
The Shafer Trail offers an excellent opportunity to observe nearly the complete succession of rocks exposed in the Canyonlands region. The trail is a dirt road that begins near the top of the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone and descends to the Permian Cutler Formation.
