Sawdon Balk is a Public Bridleway that links the villages of Sawdon and Rushton in North Yorkshire.This is a view South across Seamer Ings and on towards the Yorkshire Wolds or it would be as we were under a blanket of low cloud for much of the day.A very typical Bank Holiday,but hey it sure beats work and it didn't stop me from being out and about.
Many thanks for taking the time to view this and other image in my photo stream.
I captured this scene from an overpass near Bologna Centrale station, across from the signal house with its steel framework spanning the tracks. In the center of the structure a large clock was mounted, clearly visible above the converging rails and electrical lines.
The design of the signal house itself stood out to me, its elevated form and intricate framework contrasting with the dense infrastructure of tracks, wiring, and surrounding urban buildings.
View on Dolomites from the Monte Lagazuoi Piccolo (2,778 m above sea level), taken when we were going back to the cable car station. In the middle of the photo, on the left side you can see the group pf rocks Cinque Torri, where we were the day before (look on the first comment) :)
Monte Lagazuoi Piccolo is a peak located in the Dolomites with a height of 2,778 m above sea level. You can take the cable car from Passo Falzarego up to Lagazuoi and in a you will reach there the mountain hut Rifugio Lagazuoi, with the vewing terrace offering a spectacular view over an array of mountains towards the south and west. From the Rifugio Lagazuoi there is an easy path to the great viewpoint at the top of Piccolo Lagazuoi, where there is a cross that celebrates the victims of the World War I. Here you can admire some of the highest and most stunning Dolomite mountains: Tofana di Rozes, Cinque Torri, Marmolada, Piz Boe and Mount Civetta.

Widok na Dolomity z Monte Lagazuoi Piccolo (2778 m n.p.m.). Fotka pstryknięta gdy schodziliśmy ze szczytu do stacji kolejki. Pośrodku zdjęcia z lewej strony widać grupę skał Cinque Torri, przy której byliśmy dzień wcześniej (fotka w pierwszym komentarzu poniżej) :)
Monte Lagazuoi Piccolo to szczyt leżący w Dolomitach o wysokości 2778 m n.p.m. Na górze jest schronisko – Rifugio Lagazuoi, do którego można się dostać kolejką z przełęczy Passo Falzarego. Wagonik kolejki pokonuje 630 metrów różnicy wzniesień w mniej niż 3 minuty zawieszony na linach bez pośrednich słupków nośnych. Z tarasu schroniska rozpościera się jeden z ładniejszych widoków na Dolomity, od Tofane przez Marmoladę, aż po grupę Sella. Ze schroniska prowadzi łatwa ścieżka do punktu widokowego na szczycie Piccolo Lagazuoi, gdzie znajduje się krzyż upamiętniający walki z okresu I wojny światowej. Można stąd podziwiać panoramę najwyższych szczytów w Dolomitach.
Back to Singapore and another photo I overlooked. Taken from the cable car that took us to Sentosa Island. Not long after 'landing' we too were scaling the heights of Merlion by elevator and stairs within this massive structure. It was worth the effort as the views were amazing from the top.
One of the things that amazed me were the amount of ships waiting to berth.

A viewing point at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore overlooking Lake Michigan and the famous Dunes.
Some of the earliest human inhabitants of the Lake Michigan region were the Hopewell Indians. Their culture declined after 800 AD, and for the next few hundred years, the region was the home of peoples known as the Late Woodland Indians. In the early 17th century, when western European explorers made their first forays into the region, they encountered descendants of the Late Woodland Indians: the Chippewa; Menominee; Sauk; Fox; Winnebago; Miami; Ottawa; and Potawatomi. The French explorer Jean Nicolet is believed to have been the first European to reach Lake Michigan, possibly in 1634 or 1638. In the earliest European maps of the region, the name of Lake Illinois has been found in addition to that of "Michigan", named for the Illinois Confederation of tribes.
Lake Michigan is joined via the narrow, open-water Straits of Mackinac with Lake Huron, and the combined body of water is sometimes called Michigan–Huron (also Huron–Michigan). The Straits of Mackinac were an important Native American and fur trade route. Located on the southern side of the Straits is the town of Mackinaw City, Michigan, the site of Fort Michilimackinac, a reconstructed French fort founded in 1715, and on the northern side is St. Ignace, Michigan, site of a French Catholic mission to the Indians, founded in 1671. #7DWF
View of Norris Lake from the Dam in November. I was going to tone down the blue of the water because it just looks too unreal, but I didn't touch the water color. It was this brilliant and I was lucky to capture it...
Its a stunning view from Fleetwith Pike, watching the sunset I wondered how many people over the years had stood in this spot and enjoyed the same scene. Appreciating the absolute beauty of places we live gives an enormous sense of wellbeing, probably the main reason I walk and take pictures.
In heaven (‘ in our native land’, as Aquinas always puts it), there will be the entirely satisfactory ‘sense of an object’, there will be light; but meanwhile, the only guarantee that it is God who is present to the self is that nothing else in particular is so present, and that no consistent set of words or ideas (about God or anything else) is at work. It is a darkness in which the only significant human act is the will’s movement of desire–the bare readiness to abide in hope and longing in the darkness, to be content with nothing else because anything else would be less than God.

Markyate, Hertfordshire. Coming from the west and down the hill, you would enter the village here - and, as I said somewhere else, enter into a safe place. Most people appreciate this safety and do not wish to have it disturbed. However, recently the Government has rented a hotel or parts of it about a mile outside the village to accommodate asylum seekers - and this, to some, is a real "disturbance". Rather unpleasant comments have been made on social media which I will not repeat. Fuji X-Pro1 plus XF27/2.8.
