In my home province, Scania (Skåne), there are about 60 rune stones. Most of them are carved between the years 980 and 1050, ie during the Viking Age.
The rune stones provide invaluable information about the language that was spoken and you also find out which names were popular then.
This special rune stone is among the most beautiful and the message reads:
”Fader had these runes carved after Asser, his brother, who died in the north during viking.”
( Meaning: He died during a conquest journey to the north.)
So, if you have a message for posterity, the best way is to carve it in stone.

Capturing "Disco Road" using Livecomposite: youtu.be/mLtn-mwJIx8
This safety pin is only one inch / 2.5cm in size. The difficulty of putting that drop via a toothpick on to the needle point was frustratingly hard, as the surface tension refused to un-stick. I was hoping for a teardrop shape, but it's just too small...
I had the idea for this shot for awhile before I was able to take it. It required a pretty clear day in winter in order to do. Vancouver almost always is cloudy in winter, and especially so around these north shore mountains. So having the time available and the weather suitable was kind of challenging for me. This day was finally good. :)
Sky Train in New Westminster BC (Metro Vancouver) crossing the Fraser River on a dedicated bridge. New Westminster is to the left, and Surrey is to the right. Golden Ears Mountain (1716m) is to the left, and Mount Robie Reid (2,095m) is in the distance to the right; part of the North Shore Mountains (Cascades Range) of Metro Vancouver. The bridge was 1.4 km from the camera, and the mountains are 35 to 40 km in the distance, but the telephoto effect compressing the distance, makes them look closer. (I used a 2x teleconverter to double the focal length to 400m, and the crop on the photo mimics DX+, so appearing as though shot by a 600 to 700mm lens).
The bridge has two 123-metre (404 ft) tall towers and carries trains 45 metres (148 ft) above the Fraser River and valley. The main span is 340 metres (1,120 ft) and the total length is 616 metres (2,021 ft). The bridge was the longest cable-supported transit-only bridge in the world from its opening in 1990 to 2019, when it was surpassed by the Egongyan Rail Transit Bridge.
The Sky Train is Vancouver's light rail transportation network which runs on several line in the metro area. This line, the 'Expo Line', runs from downtown Vancouver, through the cities of Burnaby, New Westminster, and terminates in Surrey BC (which is on the side of the bridge to the right). The transit authority has named these 'Sky Train' as they run on pylons perhaps 15m tall (mostly) for much of their routes. But even so, some of the lines run at least parts of their routes underground like traditional subways.
This was output at roughly 40% of full size. So the resolution is actually much higher. You can read the numbers on the cars in the full sized image.
Balaclava Mill
Balaclava is a near ghost town today, a come-down from the bustling lumber town of its heyday. It started as a small community named for a battle in the Crimean war. Shortly after its founding a dam and sawmill were built and by the 1860s the small hamlet had acquired a blacksmith shop and hotel to go with its permanent residents. In 1903 a sawdust burner was built (upper left) so that sawdust from the mill would not be dumped in the local river, thereby polluting it. The water-powered sawmill was rebuilt in 1939 after a fire destroyed the mill that had previously occupied the space and continued to operate until 1959. At that time the depletion of available timber had reduced production to uneconomically small amounts. With the loss of the mill the viability of Balaclava as a residential town was also lost. The sawmill was the last water-powered mill to operate in the Province of Ontario.

Heavy rains, a high tide and a storm surge combine to cover the timber walkway to this iconic Perth landmark.
Sydney is the most magical city. And when you witness a sunrise like this over our magnificent harbour you feel truly blessed.

This is a place I've been wanting to see for a while now! It's a colourful office block on Odaiba island in Tokyo. I went here when I was shooting in Japan for the Tokyo Tourist Board.

Die Burg Vianden: glanzvolles Baudenkmal
Die Burg Vianden ist ein Besuchermagnet, ist sie doch eine der größten und schönsten feudalen Residenzen der romanischen und gotischen Zeit. Das vom 11. bis zum 14 Jh. auf den Fundamenten eines römischen Kastells und eines karolingischen Refugiums erbaute Schloss war lange Zeit im Besitz der Großherzoglichen Familie, bis es 1977 in staatlichen Besitz kam. Nach diesem Zeitpunkt wurde es restauriert und erstrahlt im alten Glanz. Das Schloss Vianden zählt heute zu den bedeutendsten Baudenkmälern Europas. Im Eingangsbereich befindet sich ein modernes interaktives Besucherzentrum.
