This is the famous Sólheimasandur airplane wreckage, located on the South coast of Iceland, between Skógafoss and Vík. You get there by a 4 km walk, through a deserted pebble beach, where the wind and temperature make for some pretty rough hiking.
Luckily, i have never been there. This is a combination of two photos I found on Pexels.com
While out chasing a rumored Amtrak hospital train which was to run on CSX's Monon route from Chicago to Beech Grove, IN, I stumbled upon a restored Monon caboose in the town named Monon, IN. I loved how the early morning glint light danced on the handrail, brake wheel, and tread plate highlighting their details. I gave up on the chase for the hospital train but was happy I did see the Monon caboose located in Monon, IN on the Monon Route.
Bab Mansur al-'Alj or Bab Mansour is a monumental gate in the city of Meknes, Morocco. Located on the south side of Place el-Hedim (el-Hedim Square) in the old city, it was originally the main ceremonial entrance to the Kasbah (royal citadel) of Sultan Moulay Isma'il, built in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Today it is one of the most famous and admired landmarks in the city.
Meknes is one of the four Imperial cities of Morocco, located in northern central Morocco and the sixth largest city by population in the kingdom. Founded in the 11th century by the Almoravids as a military settlement, Meknes became the capital of Morocco under the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismaïl (1672–1727), son of the founder of the Alaouite dynasty. Moulay Ismaïl created a massive imperial palace complex and endowed the city with extensive fortifications and monumental gates.[7] The city recorded a population of 632,079 in the 2014 Moroccan census.[6] It is the seat of Meknès Prefecture and an important economic pole in the region of Fès-Meknès

Palace of Fine Arts is one of the most historically critical buildings in San Francisco, located in Marina District near Presidio. The historic rotunda is lit beautifully with tranditional light source high pressure sodium floodlights, and the contrast with the blue sky was astonishing that day altough it started out to be another foggy day in San Francisco.
Special thanks to Dr. Joseph Kaplan for this photo for the field trip to shoot photos of San Francisco nightviews together.

After waking up at 4am on Friday and checking to verify that the skies were still clear, I hopped on an early Bart train to SF to capture the eclipse at this intersection. This was shot from right in front of the Exploratorium in San Francisco (on the Embarcadero), looking up towards Coit Tower. There were about 2 dozen other photographers there all angling for the best position. With trees, streetlights, and powerlines in the way, I had a short window where I was lined up just right and snapped this shot.
The Petersham Reservoir is located on New Canterbury Road, Petersham. The covered part of the reservoir was commissioned in 1888, with the elevated reservoir constructed in 1965 with alteration to the central portion of the roof structure of the covered reservoir. The covered reservoir is now empty. The site is owned by Sydney Water.
Around 5:00 A.M. on Sunday, March 6, 1836, General Antonio López de Santa Anna, self-proclaimed "Napoleon of the West," hurled his army at the battered walls of the Alamo from four directions. Texan gunners stood by their artillery. As about 1,800 assault troops advanced into range, canister ripped through their ranks. Staggered by the concentrated cannon and rifle fire, the Mexican soldiers halted, reformed, and drove forward. Soon they were past the defensive perimeter. Travis, among the first to die, fell on the north bastion. Abandoning the walls, defenders withdrew to the dim rooms of the Long Barracks. There some of the bloodiest hand-to-hand fighting occurred. Bowie, too ravaged by illness to rise from his bed, found no pity. The chapel fell last. By dawn the Centralists had carried the works. The assault had lasted no more than ninety minutes. As many as seven defenders survived the battle, but Santa Anna ordered their summary execution. Many historians count Crockett as a member of that hapless contingent, an assertion that still provokes debate in some circles. By eight o'clock every Alamo fighting man lay dead. Currently, 189 defenders appear on the official list, but ongoing research may increase the final tally to as many as 257.
