Surrounded by nothing but turquoise lagoon which melts into sapphire blue, the Maldives island of Anantara Kihavah and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage.
For centuries, this was where Arab traders sailing to the Far East took shelter; a lush paradise blessed by coconut, papaya and mango trees. Navigating archipelago to archipelago by the stars, the seafarers were also drawn by the riches of the ocean surrounding the island – where a prehistoric volcano sank back into the depths, leaving blooming corals within a house reef and a wealth of lagoon fish.
Wishing to keep the pristine nature of the island intact, not one tree has been moved – as evidenced by the villas growing up around them. The design pays homage to the seafarers of old, fusing Indian Ocean, Arab and Portuguese motifs with indigenous materials.
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.

"Der August"
(Erich Kästner)
Nun hebt das Jahr die Sense hoch
und mäht die Sommertage wie ein Bauer.
Wer sät, muß mähen.
Und wer mäht, muß säen.
Nichts bleibt, mein Herz. Und alles ist von Dauer.
Stockrosen stehen hinterm Zaun
in ihren alten, brüchigseidnen Trachten.
Die Sonnenblumen, üppig, blond und braun,
mit Schleiern vorm Gesicht, schaun aus wie Frau'n,
die eine Reise in die Hauptstadt machten.
Wann reisten sie? Bei Tage kaum.
Stets leuchteten sie golden am Stakete.
Wann reisten sie? Vielleicht im Traum?
Nachts, als der Duft vom Lindenbaum
an ihnen abschiedssüß vorüberwehte?
In Büchern liest man groß und breit,
selbst das Unendliche sei nicht unendlich.
Man dreht und wendet Raum und Zeit.
Man ist gescheiter als gescheit, -
das Unverständliche bleibt unverständlich.
Ein Erntewagen schwankt durchs Feld.
Im Garten riecht's nach Minze und Kamille.
Man sieht die Hitze. Und man hört die Stille.
Wie klein ist heut die ganze Welt!
Wie groß und grenzenlos ist die Idylle ...
Nichts bleibt, mein Herz. Bald sagt der Tag Gutnacht.
Sternschnuppen fallen dann, silbern und sacht,
ins Irgendwo, wie Tränen ohne Trauer.
Dann wünsche Deinen Wunsch, doch gib gut acht!
Nichts bleibt, mein Herz. Und alles ist von Dauer.

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.
Pure as the driven snow and fog surrounding this church.
I have photographed and posted this church before, as it is a favorite subject for me.
The church is Palmyra Methodist Church in Palmyra, IA (built 1870).
With the recent heavy fog from melting snow and warm weather it offered me a different weather and light opportunity which I immediately took.
The fog was thick but the sun was bright behind it gives it a pencil sketch drawing appearance.
Funny - one of my contacts also posted a similar church- see Jerry Newman's

Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
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.

The entrance to the trail is well indicated with a sign located in front of the Lago Gutiérrez Ranger Section. You have to pay close attention to the signs and not leave the path.
The road is wide and begins with a very slight slope bordering the Pescadero Stream and in the first meters it is crossed by a bike lane.
It is a trail that in the first part is self-guided and has informative posters about the Patagonian Andean forest and its natural processes. Arriving at a detour, this one indicates to continue to the left (the one on the right leads to the Cascada de los Duendes), and the next detour indicates to the right (the one on the left leads to Playa Muñoz and Refugio Emilio Frey). This last part is quite steep. You have to pay attention to the roots so as not to stumble.
The viewpoint offers a panoramic view of Lake Gutiérrez and the surrounding hills.
You return along the same path, paying attention at the crossroads so as not to get lost.

"It's impossible to imagine the Swiss mountain world as more idyllic than the area surrounding Lake Bachalpsee. The snow-covered peaks of the Alps are reflected in the crystal clear blue water.
First is the starting point for hikes and it offers action: An adrenaline rush and speed thrills are guaranteed on the First Flyer, trottibike scooters or bikes. Children can have fun on the 700-m² playground at the Bort intermediate station."
Trois étapes vous seront nécessaires pour débarquer en toute tranquillité dans cet écrin de nature montagnarde paradisiaque. A 2200 mètres d'altitude, le First offre des panoramas étourdissants, notamment une vue imprenable sur sept 4000 des Alpes bernoises.
En une petite heure de marche à travers pâturages et chemins pédestres bucoliques, vous atteignez le superbe lac Bachalpsee et ses eaux cristallines. De tous les côtés, des points de vue pittoresques. Inoubliable ascension. Pour un peu de culture, passez donc la nuit au Berghotel Faulhorn, le plus ancien hôtel de montagne de Suisse!
Der First ist eine Verflachung des Südwest-Rückens zum Widderfeldgrätli (2'632 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland nördlich oberhalb von Grindelwald. Er ist über eine Gondelbahn oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die obere Bergstation heisst ebenfalls First (2'167 m ü. M.) und steht den Besuchern im Winter und im Sommer mit einem gut ausgebauten Ski- und Wandergebiet zur Verfügung.
Besonders beliebt ist die Wanderung zum Bachalpsee und weiter zum Faulhorn, die ein spektakuläres Panorama mit Blick auf den oberen Grindelwaldgletscher sowie Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bietet. Eine weitere interessante Wanderung führt auf das Schwarzhorn. Östlich von First liegt 5,6 Kilometer zu Fuss entfernt die Grosse Scheidegg.
Der First ist ein Startort für Paraglider und Deltasegler sowie Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Mountainbiketouren. Station First bietet auch einen imposanten kurvenreichen Schlittenweg, welcher bei guten Schneeverhältnissen direkt nach Grindelwald führt.

On the right you can see the edge of the architecture everyone is familiar with. On the left, you see the people and surrounding architecture. What is it like to live right next to something so famous? Do you feel like you underestimate it or take it for granted? Do you feel like you love the home you live in more but no one will ever see it?
As a photographer, I have very little interest in capturing something that others have captured well millions of times but I do have an interest in humans in all spaces.

So, this shot has been sitting on my hard drive since I took it back in January 2017, I loved the fractured reflection and the sort of dark, surreal alternate reality it conveyed with golden glitter and distorted classic architecture. It's as if the building is saying, "Look at me" but it's not real, it's a distortion of reality taken from the surrounding buildings. Take away the reflection and it's dark building that struggles to convey power and strength, a false power and strength but alluring all the same. So it's with this in mind that it never got posted.
I decided to post it today because of some factors that seem to have come together. One is the obvious end of a four year nightmare and one has to do with me just missing a good walk in the city due to COVID. I've been looking through my archive folders at city pics that never were posted and thinking now is the time. Along this line, I was conversing with Leon, a new contact here on Flickr and was a bit surprised to find that he hadn't seen any architectural shots in my photostream. The reason goes back to not being able to get to NYC or any city for that matter since COVID started so not much architectural or travel photography in quite some time.
With this in mind it seems the time is right to post this shot.
When we encountered this hidden lake and its surrounding unbelievable mountains on the Lofoten islands I KNEW instantly this was my favourite place of the thousands I have visited so far. Don't mistake the scale of this place! The lake is a rather large one where one could swim and fish in a boat and paddle about for quite a while before getting to the other shore and the mountains tower above you that your neck will hurt looking up. This IS my kind of place :)
Noudar Natural Park is located in a farm estate called Herdade da Coitadinha, between the rivers Ardila and Múrtega, in southern Alentejo (Portugal) .
The pastures surrounding the area, holm oak and olive groves, grazing cows and herds of black pigs are all common to neighbouring farms in this region. But here, a more abrupt and rocky relief has protected dense enclaves of holm oaks and forest where light penetrates with difficulty.
In Noudar, life presents itself in a state of wilderness and absolute purity.
Apart from its beauty, the place, being remote and exempt from any light pollution, is excellent for astrophotography (the best where I’ve ever been).
The Castle of Noudar dates from the early 14th century (finished in 1307), when it took an important role for border defense against the kingdom of Castile (now part of Spain).

Poppies have lobed or dissected leaves, milky sap, often nodding buds on solitary stalks, and four- to six-petaled flowers with numerous stamens surrounding the ovary. The two sepals usually drop off as the petals unfold. The ovary develops into a spherical capsule topped by a disk formed by the stigmas. The many small seeds escape from pores beneath the disk when the capsule is shaken by the wind.
Just in case you didn't know already :)

Le Finsteraarhorn est le point culminant du massif des Alpes bernoises à 4 274 mètres d'altitude, sur la frontière entre les cantons du Valais et de Berne en Suisse. Le sommet constitue un point de repère particulièrement visible à cause de sa pointe et de sa face abrupte.
Du point de vue géologique, il appartient au massif de l'Aar et est constitué d'amphibolite.
The Finsteraarhorn (4,274 m (14,022 ft)) is the highest mountain in the Bernese Alps and the highest mountain in the canton of Berne. It is also the highest summit in the Alps lying outside the main chain, or watershed. The Finsteraarhorn is the ninth highest and third most prominent peak in the Alps. Since 2001 the whole massif and surrounding glaciers are part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch World Heritage Site.
Das Finsteraarhorn ist mit 4'274 m ü. M. der höchste Gipfel der Berner Alpen, des Kantons Bern und überhaupt der Schweiz östlich von Lötschberg und Simplon, zudem ist es höchster Punkt im Einzugsgebiet des Rheins. Sein markanter Gipfel dominiert die Panoramen der gesamten Zentral- und Ostschweiz. Es liegt an der Grenze der Kantone Bern und Wallis.
Das Finsteraarhorn hat eine zugeschärfte, haifischflossenartige Form und erscheint in Streichrichtung der Grate von NW oder SO als steiles Horn. Quer dazu erscheint es als breit hingelagertes Dreieck.
Geologisch gehört es zum Aarmassiv und besteht aus Amphibolit. Geomorphologisch ist seine Berggestalt als Karling charakterisiert.
Der Normalanstieg erfolgt - ausgehend vom Grimselpass - von der Finsteraarhornhütte über die SW-Seite bis zum ersten Absatz des NW-Grats (sog. Hugisattel auf 4'088 m), und von dort über den Grat (zunächst in den Felsen oder im Schnee der SW-Flanke) zum Gipfel (WS I-II).
Der markante Gipfel wurde am 16. August 1812 von Arnold Abbühl, Joseph Bortis und Alois Volken zum ersten Mal bestiegen, den Gipfel erreichten sie vermutlich über den heute zum grossen Teil abgeschmolzenen Hängegletscher in der Ostflanke des Südostgrats. Allerdings ist nicht klar, ob die drei tatsächlich den Hauptgipfel erreichten. Erwiesen ist hingegen die Bezwingung des Gipfels am 10. August 1829 durch Jakob Leuthold und Johann Währen über den heutigen Normalweg. Diese waren die Bergführer des Gletscherforschers Franz Joseph Hugi, der selbst wegen einer Fussverletzung in einer Einsattelung, die heute seinen Namen trägt, zurückbleiben musste.

Detail of Sony Center's roof, electrified for Sliders Sunday.
Sony Center, a 132,500 m² building complex at Potsdamer Platz (located across the Berliner Philharmonie), consists of several buildings of which the main complex was designed by Chicago-based architect Helmut Jahn. It was opened in 2000.
Sony Center's impressive 3,500 m² roof spans the entire patio, the so-called Forum. The spectacular roof construction consists of safety glass and translucent fabric panels which are attached by tie rods to a steel ring that rests on the surrounding buildings. The roof's shape represents Japan's Mount Fuji. In Japanese mythology, the Kami – holy powers or spirits that are worshipped in Shinto religion – live in the mountains. Since Berlin lies in a mostly flat region and has no real mountains to speak of, the roof's design was supposed to ensure the Kami's protection for Sony's European headquarters (today, Sony's German branch is located at Sony Center) by building them an artificial mountain to live in.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!
Detail des Daches des Berliner Sony Centers am Potsdamer Platz (und gegenüber der Berliner Philharmonie). Eines der bekanntesten Merkmale des 132.000 m² großen Gebäudekomplexes ist das auffällig geformte, 3.500 m² große Dach, das den gesamten Innenhof, das sogenannte Forum, des Sony Centers überspannt. Die bemerkenswerte Stahlkonstruktion, die aus Sicherheitsglas sowie lichtdurchlässigen Stoffbahnen besteht, die mit Zug-Ankern an einem Stahlring befestigt sind, der auf den umliegenden Gebäuden aufliegt, wurde vom österreichischen Stahlbau-Unternehmen Waagner-Biro realisiert.
Die markante äußere Form des Daches symbolisiert Japans heiligen Berg Fujisan. Nach japanischem Glauben werden die Berge von den Kami bewohnt, gottähnlichen Geistern. Um auch für das Sony Center, das ursprünglich Sonys Europäischer Hauptsitz war (heute residiert dort Sonys deutsche Zweigniederlassung) den Schutz der Kami sicherzustellen – und da Berlin bekanntermaßen in flachem Gelände liegt und über keine echten Berge verfügt –, wurde das Dach der Form des Fujisan nachempfunden, um den Kami einen "Berliner Wohnsitz" zu schaffen.
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Wochenstart, liebe Flickr-Freunde, passt gut auf Euch auf!

Let's try to think about the flowers about to burst forth in their pink lushness and not the surrounding gloom. Stay well, friends, and keep in touch!
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.
The Hortus is mostly in shadow now and the Sun barely rises above the roofs of the surrounding houses. Still there are attractions. One of them is this pretty Heath. It used to be called specifically 'herbacea' but most often went by the name 'carnea'. So often, in fact, that the IPNI in 1999 established that specific as the proper one. Old habits are hard to change, and the Hortus still uses 'herbacea'.
Our Heath is frost-resistant. The white ice crystals today make for a pretty picture on the mauve, yellow and purple flowers.

Popular spot spend time in Oulu. Watching the sea next to city theater and market area. The sea is very calm in that spot as it protected by surrounding islands
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.

The surrounding city walls acted as a tripod, when capturing this long exposure shot of the distant night view from the hill town of Todi, Umbria. It has been described in the Italian press as the world's most liveable city.
I have tried so many times over the years to get closer to the Kererū (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae or New Zealand Wood Pigeon) always up in the trees, so as to take better quality images. The last three days however I have had a female Kererū sitting right outside my window (the window shows markings from her big body and wings as she comes in to land on a small window ledge).
I have had a wonderful opportunity to get up close to this bird, within a few metres only (inside and outside the house). I tried closing the curtain but the bird just flew around to the side window. I tried gently hosing water in the bird’s direction but it would come straight back. I then contacted Kererū experts in this country and sent images. They advised this was a female and she was thinking her own reflection was another Kererū moving into her territory. I was told to cover the outside of the windows and the bird would soon move on.
This morning the bird was back at first light and I have since covered the outside of the windows. This afternoon the bird is back up in the surrounding trees eating away happily.
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.
Roedd hwn yn anodd i'w dori am fod gweddill yr olygfa mor hyfryd - ond roeddem eisiau canolbwyntio ar y goeden - rwyf wedi bod yn ceisio cael shot or goeden am wythnosau - fe fiodd yn tywallt y glaw ar ol y pictwr yma - gobeithio eich bod yn ei hoff.

This is a photograph of L'Église Haute (L'Église Saint-Michel) at Saint-Michel l'Observatoire, France, in the setting sun taken one December evening.
The founding of the site in the 12th century is attributed to the Benedictine monks of St-André de Villeneuve-les-Avignon. Since then, the church and the surrounding buildings have been adapted and rebuilt repeatedly. The principal periods of construction were the 12th, 15th, and 16th centuries. The church was classed as an historic monument in 1942.
Cette balade fait partie des incontournables. Paysage et criques splendides
C'est une ballade magnifique qui offre des points de vue extraordinaires sur la côte, les plages et les villes alentour comme Toulon.
À l'origine, l'île de Giens était semblable à ses voisines, les îles d'Hyères. Jusqu'au jour où, il y a plusieurs milliers d'années, s'opéra lentement un phénomène naturel le plus curieux de toute la méditerranée : le double tombolo (les deux cordons sableux qui relient l’île au continent).
La randonnée sur la Presqu’île de Giens est une boucle de 6km autour du port de la Madrague. C’est une balade d’une étonnante richesse qui parcourt différents milieux, allant de la pinède littorale au milieu dunaire, en passant par le littoral. Des paysages aussi diversifiés que surprenants à découvrir !

his ride is a must. Beautiful landscape and coves
It is a beautiful ballad that offers extraordinary views of the coast, beaches and surrounding towns like Toulon.
Originally, the island of Giens was similar to its neighbors, the islands of Hyères. Until the day when, thousands of years ago, there was slowly a most curious natural phenomenon of all the Mediterranean: the double tombolo (the two sandy cords that connect the island to the continent).
The hike on the peninsula of Giens is a loop of 6km around the port of Madrague. It is a stroll of astonishing richness that goes through different environments, ranging from the coastal pine forest to the dune, passing by the coast. Landscapes as diverse as surprising to discover!

This collection of images was taken in and around Brick Lane, London. This is an area full of New and Old Architecture, Markets, People, Graffiti, Doors, Churches and much more.
This selection is mainly Graffiti, Doors and Shop Fronts. I have made up some frames out of Doors, Walls and Other Material, hope they fit the purpose.
This is the first of a number of postings.
