I had taken a short break in the shade near the Japan pavilion in the World Showcase of EPCOT Center and saw this view of the towers of three different continents. It's not the best shot but I thought it was unique and wonder if there is another way to compose and capture something similar.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!
almost three weeks old, & the blue is definitely a boy -- still not sure of the gender of the two lavenders
Église Saint-Nicaise de Saint-Nic
It is a Gothic building in the shape of a cross which has an irregular nave of three bays with an aisle to the north, four bays with an aisle to the south, a transept and a deep choir. Of the dark nave type, it is paneled on sandpits. Between two of the north arcades is the inscription “M. Speak. F. 1566”.
The bell tower, 23 meters high, bears the date of 1576: it was repaired in June 1790 by Hervé Chapron, contractor in Pleyben.
The side porch, paneled, is dated on the gable of 1561: its sand pits are decorated with chimeras and grotesques and it contains twelve side niches for the apostles (one of them is dated 1620).
There is a small Calvary and a sundial (1614) in the parish close.
The church contains two reliquaries: a silver reliquary in the shape of a chapel and coming from the Saint-Côme and Saint-Damien chapel and which bears the date of 1578 as well as an inscription - another reliquary in the form of a shrine, from the 18th century century, with the inscription “Messire Claude de Treanna gran Archdeacon of Quimper and rector of Saint Nic”.
The stained glass windows date from the 16th century: to the north are seven panels of the Passion and to the south, the Last Judgment.
The church houses several old statues: under the porch, Saint John, Saint Catherine, Saint Roch; outside, Saint Nicaise (with cross with double cross), the Virgin-Mother, Saint Margaret, Saint Dominic (wearing the beard), Saint Herbot, Saint Guardian Angel, a Descent from the Cross with five figures, two other Virgins and a Crucifix.
Three of the Pennine Peaks can be seen here. From left to right (or is it south to north?) - Ingleborough (723m), Pen-y-Ghent (694m) and Whernside (736m) depicted here from the decending path of the "Pennine Way" on the western side of Fountains Fell in North Yorkshire. 16 January, 2012.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission dedicated a state highway marker to commemorate the Meeting of Three Commanders on Wednesday.
The marker was placed close to Lynnhaven Colony Park on Shore Drive near where the meeting is believed to have taken place. The marker dedication ceremony will be held at the park shelter, 3125 Shore Drive.
Gen. André Lanata, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO Allied Command Transformation was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony. He is a French Air Force officer. Gen. Lanata will be joined by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. "Bobby" Dyer on the program.
The Meeting of Three Commanders occurred Sept. 18, 1781 between Gen. George Washington, commander-in-chief of the combined American and French armies, the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French expeditionary army, and Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, commander of a large French fleet of warships. These commanders met aboard de Grasse's flagship on Lynnhaven Bay. It was here that the final strategies were devised that led to the stunning Franco-American victory at Yorktown.
The text for the marker was researched and developed by local historian Jorja Jean, who received a grant award from the Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission to fund the marker. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources approved the marker application at their June 2018 quarterly meeting. Virginia's historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission is a City Council-appointed body that advises Council on issues related to the City's historic resources.

I must have been 7 or 8 years old when I made this - so some 60 years ago.

This image was taken on 26th Decemeber 2011, after the sails had recently been replaced on the Holgate Windmill. York Minster and the 'Big Wheel' are the other two landmarks. This image caused some discussion in the local press from readers who were keen to know from where it was taken.
Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge - Safety Checkpoint #2: Ings - This checkpoint provides a first aid and retirement point for teams just having completed Pen-Y-Ghent, and crossed the moss.
it is my favourite composition ..... with nice graduation of colors in the sky ...
there are many seagulls following our ferry ship to tallinn that morning ....
in a distance, above blue sea water is outskirt of helsinki .....
The curved line painted on the road and the upward bend of the crash rail make this LOOK like barrel distortion but it's just the odd features of the roadway.
"The Three Soldiers" statue near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C. Was marred only by the presence of stinkbugs.
Taken on October 8, 2010 with a Canon Rebel XSI and the incredibly sharp Zeiss Makro-Planar ZE 100mm lens. The anamorphic was a Kowa 16-S.
I spent yesterday morning in the field with Jim Fowler photographing a population of the three-birds orchid (Triphora trianthophora). This tiny species exhiibits synchronized flowering that is triggered by two consecutive days of decreasing night temperatures. The flowers are open for one day, then begin to senesce. Jim is the author of "Wild Orchids of South Carolina" and used his knowledge of the natural history of this species to predict the exact flowering day for a population near Brevard, NC. When we arrived there were 30 or more plants in bloom. The green crest on the lip appears to serve as a nectar guide. Note the two pollinia that are located above the crest.
