This shot was captured the same day as the previous upload (the Trillium closeup). Perhaps it will help put that flower, which was among those shown in the clump to the right of the road, into context for you.
Thanks to all who visit, fave, comment, and extend invitations. Your support is much appreciated. I will be sure to visit your work, too
It was a fantastic walk through the Sigmund-Thun Klamm and round the Klammsee.
The Klammsee is a reservoir, is an underground storage with a volume of 200,000 m³ and part of the power station Kaprun. The dam Bürgsperre with a height of 19 m accumulates the Kaprun Ache.
The beautiful place is located in the municipality of Kaprun in Salzburg in Austria.

This photograph was taken on Jubilee Bridge looking towards Mandarin Oriental Hotel (from left of photograph), Ritz Carlton Hotel, Esplanade Outdoor Stage, Singapore Flyer, The Float, ArtScience Museum and Marina Bay Sands. The lattice structures have been erected on the Float to serve as the performance stage for National Day Parade on 9th August. Parts of Ritz Carlton were illuminated by the projected light from The Float.
Captivating sunbeams appeared behind the two hotels and Singapore Flyer. These sunbeams provided interesting contrasts and the mirror-like reflections in the Bay added further interests to the cityscape.

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.

I think these are painted turtles; if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Could not resist to preserve this arrangement. It was cold outside and these chairs are metal, so no point in hanging around for anyone to sit down. One day I´ll start shooting pictures with people in them. What else is there that is interesting really?
..it was Saturday, about 7am, i'd been on the streets since 3am ...and I found myself on Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, the day was just breaking and two young guys passed by ... on their way home from a Friday night out .. they stopped for a chat, they were friendly, knowledgable around the camera and genuinely interested in what I was doing.
Hope you like the pic guys ...
The Bressanone (Brixen) Cathedral was built in 980. Eventually, after two fires, the Romanesque design with its three naves and two front towers was constructed (around 1200). A Baroque design was later constructed in 1745-1754.
The Bressanone Cathedral's cloister is one of the most important monuments of art in South Tyrol. The cloister is famous in particular for its Gothic frescoes. It was originally built in pre Romanesque times but later redesigned in Romanesque and Gothic style.
A cloister (from Latin claustrum, "enclosure") is a covered walk, open gallery, or open arcade running along the walls of a building.
The attachment of a cloister to a cathedral or church usually indicates that it was part of a monastic foundation forming a continuous and solid architectural barrier that effectively separated the world of the monks from that of the serfs and workmen, whose lives and works went on outside and around the cloister.

I was out shooting this pier when the interplay of light and dark made its very strong presence. It was interesting how very strong the two were when opposed to each other and the rather clear delineation that existed between them. Somewhat like the "Yin & Yang", up & down, north & south, how can we know one without the other? Either way, for a brief moment, the story was no longer the structure, but instead a more etherial one that asks questions as mentioned above. How can we know one without the other, since all things are relative.
Rila Monastery - the monastery was founded in the 14th century on the site of the hermitage Ivan Rila existing since the 10th century in the valley of Rila mountain.
Modern form of the monastery dates from the 19th century, when through the victims of Bulgarian society and with the agreement of the Turkish authorities built a huge monastery complex. The walls of a thickness of 2 m and a height of 24 m giving it the appearance of a fortified stronghold. The inner courtyard is surrounded by three-storey buildings with arches painted in black and white and wooden galleries.
The main church of the Holy Mother of God is a three-nave basilica based on a cruciform plan with a dome at the intersection of the aisles. The pride of the temple are frescoes and great iconostasis.
In 1983 the monastery was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Rylski Monastyr – monastyr został założony w XIV na miejscu pustelni Iwana z Riły istniejącej od X wieku w kotlinie górskiego masywu Riła.
Współczesna postać monastyru pochodzi z XIX w., kiedy to dzięki ofiarom społeczeństwa bułgarskiego i przy zgodzie władz tureckich wybudowano ogromny kompleks klasztorny. Mury grubości 2 m i wysokości 24 m nadają mu wygląd warownej twierdzy. Wewnętrzny dziedziniec otaczają trójkondygnacyjne budynki z łukami pomalowanymi na czarno i biało oraz drewnianymi krużgankami.
Główna cerkiew pod wezwaniem Świętej Bogurodzicy to trójnawowa bazylika oparta na planie krzyża z kopułą na skrzyżowaniu naw. Ozdobą świątyni są freski i olbrzymi ikonostas.
W 1983 monastyr został wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.

Schokland with its surroundings symbolizes the history of the Netherlands and the lives of people on the border between water and land. For this reason, in 1995, UNESCO placed the area of more than 1,300 hectares as the first Dutch monument on the prestigious World Heritage List. Museum Schokland provides a fascinating insight into the history of this former island in the Zuiderzee and what preceded it.
The Schokland Museum is centrally located on this first Dutch world heritage site. The historic church from 1834 and the striking wooden museum buildings form a striking point in the modern landscape of the Noordoostpolder.
He was born 30 December 1869 at Swanmore, county of Hampshire, England.
In 1876 he emigrated to Canada with his family and settled on a farm near the hamlet of Egypt, south of Sibbald Point on Lake Simcoe.
Leacock was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto. He completed a degree in modern languages at the University of Toronto in 1891.
Inspired by Thorstein Veblen’s The Theory of the Leisure Class, he enrolled at the University of Chicago, receiving a Ph.D. in political economy and political science under Veblen in 1903.
The palace in Jankowice was built at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and its reconstruction took place in 1803 on the order of Wawrzyniec Engestrӧm (a Swedish envoy alongside King Stanisław August Poniatowski), who settled in Wielkopolska. The palace was built in the style of romanticism. It is surrounded by a park with an area of 18.6 ha. There is a pond with 4 islands and a rich tree stand with 50 species (limes, plane trees, chestnuts, oaks and others).
The palace and park complex is owned by the Tarnowo Podgórne commune, which carried out a thorough renovation and revitalization of the park in 2018.

Pałac w Jankowicach zbudowany został na przełomie XVIII i XIX wieku, a jego przebudowa nastąpiła w roku 1803 roku na polecenie Wawrzyńca Engestrӧma (posła szwedzkiego przy królu Stanisławie Auguście Poniatowskim), który osiadł w Wielkopolsce. Pałac zbudowano w stylu klasycyzmu romantycznego. Otoczony jest parkiem o powierzchni 18,6 ha. Znajduje się w nim staw z 4 wyspami, oraz bogaty drzewostan liczący 50 gatunków (lipy, platany, kasztanowce, dęby i inne).
Zespół pałacowo-parkowy jest własnością gminy Tarnowo Podgórne, która przeprowadziła gruntowny remont i rewitalizację parku w 2018 roku.
It was a very stormy day when I visited Kizhi Island in Russia.The island is near the center of Lake Onega in the Republic of Karelia, Russia. Churches on the island were known from at least the 15th century. The population was rural. Most villages had disappeared from the island by the 1950s and now only a small rural settlement remains. In the 18th century, two major churches and a bell tower were built on the island, which are now known as the Kizhi Pogost, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Church has 22 domes and was hand built only with axes and no nails.
while it was still dark we had gone to a simple bird hide to be there before the flocks of Meyer's parrots and African green pigeons arrive at the clay eating site at sunrise.
While we were waiting we heard some noise behind us and after a while we knew these were warthogs ( definitely safer than some other possibilities...)
The family of warthogs came closer and had picked up our scent but they had no clue where we were.
The huge male in this image was walking in front and stopped nearby to look in our direction.
You can clearly see both set of tusks of which the very sharp small ones are used for fighting other warthogs or for defense against predators. The larger ones are used for digging etc.

Foto wurde durch meine Frau aufgenommen, mit ihrer Ausrüstung -Canon 100-400 L IS II USM, Canon EOS80D - Im Eberswalder Zoo ist es immer eine Herausforderug gute Fotos zu machen, Viele hohe Bäume erschweren das Fotografieren, aber bei hohen Temeraturen ist es dort auszuhalten
I was shooting the Hooded Orioles in the yard from inside. I noticed an Anna's on a flower right in front of me. I didn't have the right settings for this but I was so happy to see they love these flowers! Can't wait for more opportunities...especially when the plants get bigger!
Yeah, and a Happy Fucking Valentine's Day to you, too.
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?

I was looking over my photos to see which one I could post, and looking at this one just kind of relaxed me while I was looking at it. So, I dusted it off and cleaned it up and posted it.
Have a great Sunday
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.”

This photo was taken 23 minutes later at the same observation lounge of Tochou (都庁) as the previous photo.
The road marked by taller buildings toward Fujisan is National Route 20, which is also called Koushuu Kaidou (甲州街道) as the trunk road leads to Yamanashi prefecture (山梨県), and Koushuu is its old name.
Shinjuku was originally developed as a post town on Koushuu Kaidou in the Edo era. Shinjuku (新宿) means “new post town.”
