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.
I've posted this train in about 8 different locations between the time I first shot it as the sun came up at Rudyard and the last time I shot it here at Soo Yard. Train OTIAC at Sault Ste. Marie on February 20, 2001 with 711, 2004 and 6628 leading the ore. I think I have one more unposted view near Dafter I'll get to in a couple Thursdays:).

This site of the old Maori settlement is well worth a visit to soak up the history and imagine Te Rauparaha performing the spine-tingling ‘Ka Mate’ haka for the first time. The scenery around the area is stunning, the trees are full of birdlife, particularly kereru (wood pigeons), and the views across Lake Rotoaira to Mt Tongariro and beyond are incredible. Incidentally, Opotaka now affords a rather spectacular view of the active Te Maari crater, the site of the most recent eruption on Mt Tongariro

My appreciation and thanks to all of you for your comments awards and faves !!!!
This is a view from the vineyards, which are so typical for the region where I live, down on the town Mundelsheim and the horseshoe bend of the river Neckar. I took a walk there on Sunday afternoon to make the best of the sunshine after a rather gloomy morning. Some more photos of the vineyards will follow although they may not be particularly interesting at this time of year, they are just green and there are no grapes on the vines yet.
This photo is a panorama consisting of 10 photos stitched together in Lightroom.
Picturesque Dicasalarin Cove viewed from the hillside road that descends into its entrance. This is the end of the coastal road that runs south from Baler town.
From the platform on the pyramid of the moon in Teotihuacan, we have a splendid view that let us realize the gigantism of this city.
The city was founded around 100 BC and lasted until the 7th - 8th century AD. At its peak around 500 AD, its population was estimated at 125000 inhabitants or more (source Wikipedia).
In the left of the photo, we discover the pyramid of the sun, 65 meters (216 feet) high. The large driveway opposite is called the Avenue of the Dead, It is more than 2 km (1,3 mile) long.

Teotihuacán - vue d'ensemble
De la plateforme sur la pyramide de la lune à Teotihuacan, on a une vue splendide qui permet de se rendre compte du gigantisme de cette cité.
La cité a été fondée autours de l'an 100 avant JC et a duré jusqu'au 7ème - 8ème siècle après JC. A son apogée autours de l'an 500, sa population était estimée à 125000 habitants ou plus (source Wikipedia)
Sur la photo, on aperçoit sur la gauche la pyramide du soleil, haute de 65 mètres. La grande allée en face s'appelle la Chaussée des Morts, elle fait plus de 2 km de long.

Het prachtige uitzicht over Melk vanaf de Abdij van Melk
Het stadje ligt aan de rand van de Wachau, een gedeelte van het Donaudal waar veel wijnbouw plaatsvindt en dat op de Werelderfgoedlijst van de UNESCO staat.
Gedurende de winter en regenrijke zomers kan Melk onder water raken door een hoge waterstand in de Donau.
In de 19e eeuw waren driemaal zeer hoge waterstanden. In 2013 stonden ook delen van Melk onder water. In tegenstelling tot elders in de Wachau was er in Melk geen metalen muur opgebouwd om het water tegen te houden.
-----------------------------------------
Stunning views of Melk from Melk Abbey
The town lies on the edge of the Wachau, a part of the Danube valley where a lot of viticulture takes place and which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
During the winter and rainy summers, Melk can be submerged by high water levels in the Danube.
In the 19th century there were three times very high water levels. In 2013, parts of Melk were also under water. Unlike elsewhere in the Wachau, no metal wall had been built up in Melk to block the water.

Saturday Self Challenge - Something that starts with the letter ''B" in 1:1 (square) aspect ratio.
Boardwalk.
The National Trust have built a boardwalk across this part of Cockmarsh, the footpath leading to the River Thames and the Thames Footpath. The ground would have been boggy during a wet winter!
Scott's View is a viewpoint in the Scottish Borders, overlooking the valley of the River Tweed, which is reputed to be one of the favourite views of Sir Walter Scott.
Heavenly feel to this peaceful Place!
Also may everyone who's ashes have been scattered here R.I.P Bless them all - Amen
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 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.
