The castle of Chambord (France) is certainly one of the most impressive of the Loire Valley - be it for its size or its architecture, with an amazing amount of details imagined by François Ier and Leonard de Vinci.
Nel cuore dei villaggi della regione del Mustang, il tempo sembra essersi fermato. La vita, difficile, scorre lenta, tra le piccole abitazioni in pietra, tipicamente in stile tibetano. Tra le piccole vie, quei pochi abitanti, trascorrono la giornata lavorando e portando al pascolo gli Yak, loro fonte di sostentamento. Mentre gli anziani riposano e aiutano i più piccoli a crescere, in un luogo ostile, per i più.
“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.
Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.
Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.
Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.”

The Plitvice Lakes (Croatian: Plitvička jezera) is a national park in Croatia in the Plitvice Lakes municipality, in the mountainous region of Lika. The park lies in the Plitvice plateau which is surrounded by three mountains part of the Dinaric Alps: Plješevica mountain (Gornja Plješevica peak 1,640 m), Mala Kapela mountain (Seliški Vrh peak at 1,280 m), and Medveđak (884 m).
The national Park is underlain by karstic rock, mainly dolomite and limestone with associated lakes and caves, this has given rise to the most distinctive feature of the lakes.
The lakes are separated by natural dams of travertine, which is deposited by the action of moss, algae, and bacteria. The encrusted plants and bacteria accumulate on top of each other, forming travertine barriers which grow at the rate of about 1 cm per year.
The sixteen lakes are separated into an upper and lower cluster formed by runoff from the mountains, descending from an altitude of 636 to 503 m over a distance of some eight km, aligned in a south-north direction. The lakes collectively cover an area of about two km², with the water exiting from the lowest lake to form the Korana River.
The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colours, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. The colors change constantly depending on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight.

The Plitvice lakes national park is the Croatia's most recognized natural attraction - and no wonder, since it truly is a natural phenomenon.
Many light-blue lakes and waterfalls combined with white karstic rocks create wonderful and charming area that seems rather to be an output of someone's imagination than a touchable reality.
End of September already brings autumn colours into the area - and with rainy and cloudy weather, the park reminds more of deep north than the Mediterranean.

A 60+ seconds of long exposure froze the bustling city of London. Good thing is it was a nice sunset and the clouds are moving pretty fast!

Captured in black and white, this dramatic shot of Westminster Bridge and the Big Ben has a timeless quality to it. The contrast between the light and shadows, along with the sweeping curves of the bridge, creates a striking sense of movement and depth. It’s a moment where the classic beauty of London’s landmarks takes on a new, bold perspective, frozen in time yet full of energy.

The beautiful models are my daughter and my niece. They are what they call double-cousins, meaning my sister is married to my husband's brother.

Otto Schmidinger is from Queensland, and this beautiful painting of a pastoral scene could come from many corners of this country. Schmidinger has taken a traditional Australian landscape theme and given it a contemporary twist. And I must say I am delighted, as were the many people who thronged around it as well. It is all too easy in the contemporary art environment for people to go with work that pushes boundaries of genre, and has a few ideological axes to grind. So again it is a credit to the judges that this was deemed worthy of a place in the final 42.
Otto is straight to the point with his description too:
"I wanted to show a landscape outside of time. This painting is of one of the timeless scenes that I was captured by when travelling Tasmania. I think many people are attracted by that aura of endless tranquility and love Tasmania for that reason."
Spot on Otto. You are welcome back to our fine part of the world any time.
