Last upload I posted a shot looking all the way up from the bottom...well, here in the opposite! :) Those tiny black & white squares at the bottom is the tile floor!
Well, as you can see, I did indeed make it up to the top of Mt. Croagh Patrick, camera and 2 lenses to boot. View On Black
Today (July 26) marks Reek Sunday, when about 20 to 30 thousand Catholic Pilgrims in Ireland are expected to climb Mt. Croagh Patrick, many in their bare feet. This mountain is the most important Catholic pilgrimage destination in Ireland. My wife and I went up it for the exercise and for the view about 10 days ago, and not for any religious reasons.
Further details about the mountain and its religious significance are provided on the image I posted July 25, which has made FLICK EXPLORE. Also see the preceding image in my photostream and some more which will follow in the next few days. Mt. Croagh Patrick is located near the town of Westport, in Co. Mayo, Ireland. It took us 2.5 hours to climb it and 2 to get down, with a 30 min. photoshoot at the top.
Top 10 UK Music Festivals
Get into the groove and start planning your summer to one of the Top 10 UK Music Festivals. Whilst some people care about line-ups, maybe you’re the sort of person who just wants to let it all hang out for a spandangled moment in the sunshine.
If you’re that kind of pleasure seeker, always on the hunt for the next place to go out to lunch where life is most certainly a beach, then this is the one guide you want to read this year.
UK festivals are renowned around the globe for their creativity and their clout in capturing the coolest acts around.
They also form one of the most saturated festival markets in the world, so here are 10 of the best festivals every music fan living in or visiting the UK should check out…
Bestival, Newport, Isle of Wight: 8-11 Sep 2016
Headliners (2015): The Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Tame Impala
The UK’s much lauded, award-winning Top 10 UK Music Festivals boutique fiesta has as many forms of silliness and absurdity as it does musical performers - and there’s around 1,000 of them. With legendary late night mischief, pianos popping up in the woods, lit-up lakesides, mass fancy dress, along with poetry, theatre, comedy and plenty more to discover, the only thing you’ll struggle with is fitting it all in.
Glastonbury Festival, Pilton, Somerset: 22-26 Jun 2016
Headliners (2015): Florence and the Machine, Kanye West, The Who
It may be one of the UK’s oldest festivals, but Glastonbury Festival still kicks stronger than even the youngest of pretenders. In a world of its own, those who enter can expect massive artists, but it's not unusual for some to go the whole week without passing by the infamous Pyramid Stage, and that's because of the immense amount of circus and theatre shows, 24-hour shenanigans, the best food stalls, secret acts and contagious hippydom you'll never shed. It really is one of a kind and one of theTop 10 UK Music Festivals.
Creamfields Daresbury, Cheshire: 26 - 28 August 2016
Headliners (2016): Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Axwell ^ Ingrosso, Calvin Harris
Liverpool based Dance party supremoes Cream have now been doing the do for well over two decades. They continue their glorious push forward bringing together some of the biggest names in the industry placed on some of the biggest stage spectaculars that you’ll see in one of the Top 10 UK Music Festivals this summer. From the underground to top of the tree, everything Dance is here, so watch for some real big guns blowing off, with ammunition provided by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Armin Van Buuren, Axewell & Ingrosso, Jack U, Calvin Harris and Jamie Jones.
Never one for the faint of heart, this party proceeds to knock the socks off the rest with a four day march into the heart of insanity as your sleep and nerves are frayed to breaking point, only held together by the smile on your face as another killer baseline drops. Over 18s only at this one, so you’ll only have to deal with your own crapped nappies.

Noisily Noseley Hall, Leicestershire: 7 - 10 July 2016
Headliners (2015): Boris Brejcha, Parasense, Victor Ruiz and Tim Healey.
Billed as a fully immersive environment that allows 2,000 attendees to truly let themselves go for an entire weekend of unrestrained hedonism, Noisily was a shoo-in for this list. A mind-bendingly psychedelic party that brings together a ton of Electronica against a breathtaking backdrop of one of the most beautiful wooded valleys in the country.
This strictly over 18s only party will see the likes of Patric Baumel, DJ Anna, D-NOX and Beckers, Tristan, Grouch, MerKaba, Iboga Records Sessions, Koan Sound, Culprate and Reso alongside all the trippy visuals and innovative installations you unfettered mind will require to make it soar right up to the sun.
Download Festival, Donington Park, Derby: 10-12 Jun 2016
Headliners (2016): Rammstein, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden
Probably the most prestigious hard rock and heavy metal festival in the world, Download took over from the legendary Monsters of Rock Festival at Derby's Donington Park. It's three days packed full of the biggest names from the 70s right up to the newest generation, and if the heavier end of the spectrum is your thing then Download will take a heck of a lot of beating as the premier rock festival part of the Top 10 UK Music Festivals.
South West Four, Clapham Common, South West London: 27-28 Aug 2016
Headliners (2015): Basement Jaxx, Faithless, Fatboy Slim
If London ever needed an extra club, South West Four is it. And what a club it is. Forget those tasteless, champagne with sparklers joints, this is an open-air party palace that sorts out the essentials first: music, music and more music. A coming together of the EDM world, their understudies, and up-and-comings stars, the four stages of house, techno, minimal, trance and electronica will fill your ears for the evening, before you head out to one of the countless after parties.
Wireless Festival, Finsbury Park, London: 8-10 Jul 2016
Headliners (2015): Drake, Avicii, David Guetta
Wireless is not quite bigger than hip-hop, but it's certainly getting that way. This supafly soiree is the best chance to see a line up of urban legends, leaning heavily on the side of rap, hip hop and R&B. Pair that with fairground rides, chill out areas, bars and artists singing booths to keep days filled, and you'll begin to understand why this is the only one of the Top 10 UK Music Festivals date these type of urban stars book in advance.
We Are FSTVL, Airfield Of Dreams, Essex: 28-29 May 2016
Headliners (2016): Fatboy Slim, Steve Angello, Jamie Jones
With its Best Medium-Sized Festival prize still gleaming from its gantries, We Are FSTVL is about to launch into year three with more clout, more colour and more incredible EDM masters than last year even dared get close to. Try its 16 stages, 200 DJs, stylised stages and VIP arena with bubbling hot tubs, spa treatments, gourmet food and champagne bars for a weekend (and hangover) you’re unlikely to forget in a hurry.
Latitude Festival, Henham Park, Southwold: 14-17 Jul 2016
Headliners (2015): alt-J, Portishead, Manic Street Preachers
Taking over the idyllic English countryside, Latitude is another of the Top 10 UK Music Festivals , as its tagline proclaims, much more than just a music festival. With DJs hidden in the woods, colourful sheep roaming the tufty fields, opera on the lake, film debuts in its onsite cinema, clowns under canvas, actors treading the boards, local ales, dance troupes and a huge children’s area, there's something to keep whatever age entertained. Oh, and there’s a full programme of music too.
The Secret Garden Party, Mill Hill Field, Cambridgeshire: 21-24 Jul 2016
Headliners (2016): Primal Scream, Lissie, Maribou State
A 100 acre toy box, Secret Garden Party is set within a landscaped garden bordering a river and lake in Cambridgeshire, and is absolutely bursting with eclectic abundance. Take a dip inside and you could easily pull out a paint fight, a mud wrestle, a dance offs or a debate - it really is that random, but that's why we love it. dancegeo.com/top-10-uk-music-festivals/

Hyacinths are spring-flowering bulbs with long, narrow leaves that are folded lengthwise. Hyacinths are highly fragrant flowers that bloom in dense clusters.
Hyacinth is the common name for approximately 30 perennial flowering plants of the genus Hyacinthus (order Liliales, family Liliaceae) of the Mediterranean region and Africa.
This oceanfront village is very charming, on a long peninsula with the lagoon on one side and the Atlantic on the other.
Before the tourists arrived in Costa Nova this was a fishing village. There’s a reminder of this time in its cute weatherboard cottages, painted with vertical stripes.
If you’re fond of fish and seafood, the fishing market is a must; here whelks, crabs, goose barnacles and shrimp straight from the lagoon are prepared for you on the Cais dos Pescadores while you wait.
It’s one of those rare chances to taste seafood that is literally straight from the water.

As i sit here cutting & pasting the second-to-last line of supplied tags from the group, the reality & magnitude of this whole project has just hit home.
I'm almost at 'the pinnacle' of what i set out to achieve.
A gargantuan effort to all those still in the game.
For those that fell, good luck on your next attempt.
I'm taking a break next year, i need some down-time.
I think i'll just attempt a 52week - Maybe just the odd photo here & there - I'm undecided as yet.
For those of you attempting another 365, Goodluck!
Cheers

The pathway leading to the top of Roseberry Topping. The day started out sunny and dry but on the way there it started raining and the first part of the path was wet and mucky. The walk leading up to the top was quite steep but the views from the top are amazing.
I stopped at this cobbled path as it created the perfect leading line to the top
Transparent and black cones made from Premo clays. Handformed cones are stacked with a fun black urchin peaking out of the end cone. You can see the pattern of the underneath cone thru thetop cone. I like this effect.

A popular mountain deck in Cebu is the TOP, a small 24-hour park with a 180 degree promontory overlooking the metropolis and Mactan Channel. Although getting there is an arduous zigzag climb, the view compensates for the effort. Circular in design, the place has an elliptically shaped stone building at one end which looks like a curled up innard of a nautilus.

Mount Sibayak
Elevation : 2,212 metres (7,257 feet)
Coordinates : 3°12′0″N 98°31′0″E
Location : North Sumatra
Geology Type : Stratovolcano
Last eruption : 1881
It is a pleasure when I see the clouds that hovering like a collection of cotton blown by the strong winds. Breeze still sounded more dominant than all the existing voices here.

Senang sekali rasanya ketika melihat awan yang melayang-layang bagaikan kumpulan kapas yang tertiup angin kencang. Angin masih terdengar lebih dominan daripada semua suara yang ada di sini.

Finally I have reached the top of the mountain Sibayak, just as the sun was rising.
For several minutes I was silent without uttering a word. This is an amazing experience in the history of my adventure.

Akhirnya aku telah sampai di puncak gunung Sibayak, tepat saat matahari itu terbit. Selama beberapa menit aku terdiam tanpa mengucapkan sepatah kata pun. ini adalah pengalaman yang menakjubkan dalam sejarah petualangan saya.
Summer time is here at last. It is time to squeeze into my black Speedo, put on some cooool shades, and head to the pool. Hey Laydeeez!

So many environmentalists and the young explorers who travel up to this mountain. As seen in this photograph is a teenager who still in high school, named Kriswanto. He and friends have been here since yesterday afternoon and they always took the several times a year to come to this place. There was a sense of satisfaction for them when they wake up in the early morning and saw a beautiful sunrise.

Begitu banyak pecinta lingkungan dan para penjelajah muda yang melakukan perjalanan keatas puncak gunung ini. Seperti yang terlihat pada foto ini adalah seorang remaja yang masih duduk di bangku SMA, bernama kriswanto. Dia dan teman-teman sudah berada disini sejak kemarin sore dan mereka selalu meluangkan waktu beberapa kali dalam setahun untuk datang ke tempat ini. Ada rasa kepuasan tersendiri bagi mereka ketika mereka terbangun di pagi hari dan melihat keindahan matahari terbit.
