I saw these Turkey-Tail mushrooms in Barn Wood, not far from my house about three weeks ago. A quick search on Google has just shown me that I could have sold them for quite a bit of money if I'd foraged them and advertised them as organic. But I'm glad I left them undisturbed for others to enjoy.
Ju Raku En, the Japanese Gardens at the University of Southern Queensland, are the largest, most traditionally designed Japanese Gardens in Australia and a delightfully peaceful retreat to spend a few hours while in Toowoomba.
They have a big lake in the middle with a number of traditional bridges making for camera friendly scenes.
Here is the link.

Mit einer Höhe von 190 Metern und 54 Etagen ist das Gebäude der höchste Wolkenkratzer Skandinaviens und das dritthöchste Wohngebäude Europas. Es wurde am 27. August 2005 eingeweiht.

Feral pigeon taken in Bushy Park, UK. Feral pigeons are descended from rock doves and can have similar plumage - various shades of grey with iridescent purple and green on their necks, though there are also many mixes of black, browns, white and piebald. They are considered a pest in most cities in the world, which shows just how successful they are.

I've always wanted to drive the Natchez Trace, and was finally able to do so. Just north of Jackson, Mississippi this lone bald cypress in the water caught my eye. If you ever get a chance to drive the Trace, it's a two lane road of gorgeousness, actually through a national park, with a 50 mph speed limit. There are miles and miles of destruction, too, where a tornado tore through and left the forest stripped and haunting. And, you might also see the occasional deer. Make sure you have your favorite music available, sit back, and let the beauty feed your soul.

The new Palazzo della Ragione for Lombardy is still being constructed but promises to be an absolutely superb complex that includes Milan's tallest building and an amazing roof connecting the structures.
Thanks again to elen@c for giving me the directions I needed and to maryLou for the great title suggestion!

Just as I was about to pack up and leave this location yesterday, I turned around and saw that the waves were rushing around and spilling over these rocks, creating a really interesting composition that I had disregarded earlier. Sometimes a great shot can present itself to you when you aren't looking for one. I love moments like these and it tends to sum up landscape and seascape photography for me. Things are always changing and you just need to be ready. Taken at Tronach Head near Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland.
