This captivating photograph portrays a young Puerto Rican woman with a striking and confident gaze. Her curly hair, adorned with a delicate lace headband, frames her face beautifully. The black and white treatment of the image highlights her features and adds a timeless quality, while the subtle hint of color in her clothing adds depth and texture. The subject’s poised expression and graceful pose exude a sense of elegance and strength, making this portrait both powerful and alluring.

The beaver pond at Schwabacher Landing in Grand Teton National Park is one of North America's great treasures....and it always is a treat to stand on the shoreline and take in the marvelous scene.
A member of Historic Hotels of America since 1999, The Colony Hotel & Cabana Club is among the most historic holiday destinations in all of Florida. Many have hailed this spectacular resort as a timeless masterpiece, often calling it “the best-known landmark” in Delray Beach. The facility debuted as the “Alterep Hotel” in 1926, after a group of investors led by Albert T. Repp had spent some $350,000 to finance its construction. Repp and his colleagues had decided to build such a magnificent structure due to Delray Beach’s growth as a prestigious resort community during the Roaring Twenties. Florida itself was in the midst of a lively—yet short-lived—real estate boom, in which Americans from across the nation built countless residential and commercial structures as a means of escaping the harsh northern winters. Delray Beach was no different from any other coastal community in Florida at the time, as businesspeople like Repp developed its shoreline with new luxurious retreats.
Designed by architect Martin Luther Hampton at the behest of Repp, The Alterep Hotel was perhaps the greatest structure built within the city in the 1920s. Standing three stories tall, its brilliant Spanish Colonial Revival-style architecture brilliantly commemorated the state’s Hispanic heritage. The resort’s gorgeous stucco walls and iconic domed towers made it incredibly unique when compared to many of its fellow local destinations. Inside, a Spanish Galleon was carved into the lobby’s central mantle, highlighted in hues of gold and silver. Stunning terrazzo floor tiles proliferated throughout the space, as did wrought iron chandeliers and sumptuous antique floor lamps. An Otis & Company elevator ferried guests throughout the building to one of several dozen guestrooms located onsite. The contraption was absolutely beautiful, for it featured cut-glass panels, dark wood trim, and even a hand-closed metal gate. Fixx Reed wicker furniture filled every public space and guestroom, too, which Reep had acquired directly from the upscale John Wanamaker Store in Philadelphia.
Despite its grand, luxurious character, the Alterep Hotel struggled immensely to generate business during the first few years of its existence. Right when it seemed that Repp and his associates were about to turn a corner financially, the Great Depression struck with merciless fury. Businesses and property values collapsed all over Florida, spelling doom for entrepreneurs like Albert T. Repp. With no way to save the enterprise, Repp subsequently foreclosed on the Alterep Hotel. Fortunately, salvation arrived in the form of George and Agnes Boughton. The two were newlyweds who had stumbled into Delray Beach almost by accident. They initially wanted to drive straight down to Key West, where they would take a cruise to Havana. But social unrest in the Cuban capital caused the two to unexpectedly cancel their trip. George then contacted his father, Charlie, for help, as the latter was a veteran hotelier up in New Jersey. Finding new accommodations in Atlantic City, the couple started the long drive back to the northeast. Yet, when the two briefly stopped in Delray Beach, they immediately fell in love with the abandoned Alterep Hotel. George and Agnes eventually spoke with Charlie about the prospect of acquiring the bankrupted business. After much discussion, the Boughton's paid some $50,000 to buy the ailing resort in 1935. Renaming it as “The Colony Hotel,” the family’s subsequent stewardship saw the resort emerge as the hottest attraction in Delray Beach. They invested thoroughly into its revitalization, installing a wealth of new amenities and facilities throughout the structure. George even developed the famous “Cabana Club” on a 250-foot strip of land along the Atlantic Ocean. This fabulous venue contained a heated saltwater pool, authentic tropical fauna, and complimentary cabanas. The Colony Hotel and Cabana Club have since remained in the Boughton family to this very day. Much of the original architecture and décor remains the same, too! The resort even has 50 pieces of the historic Fixx Reed furniture that first arrived over a century ago. The Colony Hotel and Cabana Club is thus one of Florida’s best historic destinations.

Visited Lucerne this morning and we walked up to the Ramparts. Found this wonderful and timeless view down onto Lake Lucerne and across to the Alps. I'm guessing this particular view is largely as it would have been from the same ramparts 300 years ago.
It's been a long time since I was there, it's a stunningly beautiful town.
Today is day 59 of Project 365.
I'm literary trying to recall back by rescuing some decades old memory of my very dated virgin work of few good images i deem...somewhere created 9 years ago.
I remember shot this with my very first own and extremely excited encounter with the Si-Fi modern digital technology and daringly or stupidly invest a Entry level 500d Canon's product not ever in my photography history dare migrating from film analog to digital for once in my entire life, Ya...my first time.
Perhaps, if I remember correctly, I also pair it with my basic 18-55 kit lens that bundle along if my fast fading memory did not play me out.
It was simply very fascinating watching over and over all my images instantaneously appear at the rear live view 2" color screen without hassle of single worry never before......, I couldn't believe photography had arrive in such relief with pure enjoyment and sensational moments witness first time in decade accepting what I shot second ago, I had the power to easily witness n answer for myself to delete or retain images that are ideally not satisfy, or bad. Never ever dream that could happened to my true long term companion, Nikon FM2 , basically is like playing with mission impossible that traditionally once difficult to built someones interest within years n now turn into instant passion or transform into real professional hobby that impossibly had evolve at such revolution age, and my photographic horizon stretches tremendously with such a familiarise device yet unfamiliar technology gadgets squeeze into one at once.
However, in real life way before connecting with canon brand, I had been working as a full time portrait photographer using analog Nikon camera for close to a sentimental 8 years with very homely Singapore tourism industry during my early 20's when I had just completed serving my national service in air force .
I can recall is always a pleasure to bring out such an pleasant compact digitalize gadgets so call an entry level camera+ kit lens that weight nothing and does not hurt ones back easily .
Now, it seems more a scary idea to lug along my photography gear as time n experience progress down the road of history. My camera bag of size had largely expanded due to demand n greed for best beauty needs n slowly became a beast with photographic equipmemts gathering house that only Hercules can handle the weight but would easily hurts someone back in a day or 2 carrying them.
5 years ago I manage to decide picking up to learn how to process my few crazy images beside rely on analog darkroom era . What u see right now are my initial work using a software design by unpopular coral Photoimpact X5. I enjoy using those limited tools and mingle blending my images with tons of effort and time consuming energy to figure out all by myself.
Too bad i accidentally loss the complete series of my Yunnan china trips due to bad computer crash and system hard drive failure and instantly loss all my precious store images and bear no idea to retrieve single images to react as rescue....No back up no nothing and all data turn into ashes when I'm so new and lack in digital knowledge.
Now when I refresh back it left me with some fine memory and how time really fly...!
You don't stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing.

Our first night stay during the 2015 Adventure. Was in Creede, Colorado. The primary reason that I picked Creede for the overnight stay is what you see here. The white mausoleum in the old mountain cemetery and the old white church. I had run across a photo of the two of them and I knew that I had to see and photograph them. I left the motel at 6:30 AM in the next moring. It was 19 degrees Fahrenheit as I headed up to cemetery to set up and wait for the sun to crest the mountains. Image made with a Pentax K 5.

Monday after 5 days away from the office; it hit hard. I was hoping it would have been a slow week in the office while I was away, but it seems that wasn't at all the case, and as much as I'd like to believe it the world of the office stopped spinning and turns out it just kept going and things piled up for me.
Oh well, at least the day went quickly.
A quick shot for a busy day. I probably should have tried harder but made the silly decision to leave the camera at home instead of lugging it to work with me today so my photography time was a bit limited.
Anyway; hope everyone has had a good day.
