Tiny creek Wilisch in the beautiful Ore Mountains. I really love the atmosphere there. A mixture between wilderness, mining tradition and an old steam track. I do not know why, but I belive the Uranium did something strengh with my cameras sensor ... .
Thanks for coming and enjoy your evening!

Taken from an aquaduct disguised as a bridge @ Bolton Abbey, NYorks, UK. This river can rage through after heavy rains, but at present it is Hoagy Carmichael's 'lazy river' and a beautiful, peaceful spot for our afternoon walk today :-)
To all who view and/or comment on my pix, each is a help and a pleasure in equal measure. Thank you.

Taking this shot is the closest I've come yet to losing my camera. 2 out of 3 of the tripod legs were in the water on small ledges on the waterfall slope. I thought they were well secure, but I reckoned without the force of the water. Just after the shutter closed one of the legs slipped off the ledge and the whole lot started to fall. Fortunately I was able to catch it before it disappeared into the pool below :)
3rd Cascade
Meadow Creek
Mill Springs
Wayne County
Kentucky
What I love about Meadow Creek is, as you walk upstream you're greeted by scene after scene of beauty. After climbing up the the 2nd cascade and walking several feet you come to the next drop. Although not tall, 4 feet or so, it makes for a wonderful foreground as you see the final cascade in the distance. The spring greens were really popping here and I couldn't resist a few shots before moving on and shooting the last. Truly, Kentucky at it's best.

Craig Goch, the highest upstream of the series of dams in the Elan Valley, is often referred to as the 'top dam'. It is located at a height of 1040 feet (317m) above sea level. As with all the dams, work started with the arrival of the railway line at the site. In the case of the top dam the line had the farthest to go and a rocky outcrop had to be blasted and dug through on the route to the site. Work on excavating the foundations for a secure base for the structure started in July 1897, some three years after the start of work on the lowest dam at Caban Coch.
March '95. Alligin area of Torridon. The clouds were coming and going on the mountains, bringing fresh snow.

Backtracking yet another season, into the kind of rich scene that only fall (and its trusty sidekick, Fuji Velvia) can provide.

The River Towy at Llangathen. I always stop near the bridge here en route to Aberlgasney Gardens - usually to check out the bird life in the river .
The River Fowey is a river in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
It rises at Fowey Well (originally Cornish: Fenten Fowi, meaning spring of the river Fowey) about 1-mile (1.6 km) north-west of Brown Willy on Bodmin Moor, not far from one of its tributaries rising at Dozmary Pool and Colliford Lake, passes Lanhydrock House, Restormel Castle and Lostwithiel, then broadens at Milltown before joining the English Channel at Fowey. The estuary is called Uzell (Cornish: Usel, meaning howling place). It is only navigable by larger craft for the last 7 miles (11 km). There is a ferry between Fowey and Bodinnick. The first road crossing going upstream is in Lostwithiel. The river has seven tributaries, the largest being the River Lerryn.
The US Army Corps of Engineers built this earthen dam, visible at center. The building at right is a USACE visitor center that features the river's history before European contact, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the dam's purpose and functions, and an overview of remaining ecosystems -- very much transformed by human-drive water flows and that big body of cold water in the reservoir. You can see a cluster of wayside signs about Lewis and Clark at far left.
The Corps is a partner of the National Park Service here. The NPS managed the Lewis and Clark National Historical Trail that passes here, as well as the Missouri National Recreational River that includes one stretch upstream of the reservoir and a second stretch along a semi-natural stretch downstream.
I'm in Nebraska, looking across the river to South Dakota.
Explored # 180 on June 13, 2021. Thank you, everyone, for the favorites and kind comments! I appreciate them all.
This is a shot from back in 2018, when the world was a better place, haha. Colorado is an awesome place, what else can I say?

A vastly important site within this featured array of artificial 'caves', and another example featured within the diagram linked below (second right).
The River Ebro 'highway' ebbs and changes direction just 5km away. Modestly moving on its long narrative of silting the Mediterranean sea with mountain grain. And as it turns from the north, the tight fluvial system provides a clean pointer and link with the Atlantic coast. Approaching the great river's source, the river simply holds a valley and hides its future with local modesty. The valley that confluences at the turning point is the (river) 'Arroyo Mardancho', the same river that flows under this monolithic church site. A sacred spring into the Arroyo Mardancho sits under this sites monolith, providing relentless fresh water to this day.
Both the Ebro and the Mardancho can easily and naturally link with the northern passage to the Rio Besaya and the Altlantic coast, and if the Ebro was once conceptualised as a great west/east, then the Mardancho would have been part of its raison d'etre. The Mardancho is also a key route to the Ebro from the CeltIberic hill fort of Mont Bernedo.
Seen by night this site hides its rarity, and some words are required to show that all is not as it first appears:
The tiled roof is a modern addition, and lifts above an outcrop of sandstone, in effect protecting the rock's surface for future generations. The rock outcrop that makes up the exoskeleton for the interior man-made space, is comprehensively covered with monolithic Sarcophage; many linked, some seeming to indicate a family unit, and some of the dimension of infants and children. A further and detached flat rock outcrop - behind this shot and up the slope, continues the theme, with another 20 or so examples of carved Sarcophage - some with trapezoid form, most andromorphic. Todays church is thus under the imprints of ancestors rather than over their memory, which tends to be the Christian tradition. Other examples of man-made spaces under monolithic necropolis do exist (see future posts), and this is not an example of idiosyncratic design, rather another local example from an upstream Ebro theme.
Organic and oblong openings have been sealed, and at times squared into shape, and the inside has lost much of its organic narrative after being 'modernised' with a tightening of edge and form - probably during a Moorish or Visigoth occupation period, so up to the 10th century.
The exterior shape of the monolith has also been walled up to afford it a clean set of lines. The illuminated Romanesque bell tower is built as a different building behind the outcrop, in the way that Italian bell towers can be separate, and in keeping with the site at Santos Justo y Pastor - just five straight km away (see below).
Socket marks show that a porch or lean-to once 'hid' the scale of the interior vaults. These marks and some other step and bench marks are worn in ways that show a use far beyond those of ideas of lone hermits.
