La torre di San Nicola e il suo bastione posti a difesa del porto della città Rodi.
La torre di San Nicola fu costruita tra il 1464 e 1467 a difesa del porto di Mandracchio. Dopo l'assedio di Rodi del 1480 fu aggiunto il bastione attorno alla torre che venne così trasformata in fortezza.
Le bellissime mura, bastioni e fortezze della città di Rodi vennero costruiite dai Cavalieri Ospitalieri di San Giovanni come rinforzo delle sottostanti mura bizantine a partire dal 1309.
Il tramonto con i suoi giochi di luce mette in risalto la bellezza delle pietre centenarie e la loro storia ma noi stanchi e distratti dai nostri pensieri molte volte non ce ne accorgiamo.
The tower of Saint Nicholas was built between 1464 and 1467 to defend the port of Mandraki. After the siege of Rhodes in 1480 a bastion was added around the tower transforming it into a guard fortress on the sea.
The fortifications of the town of Rhodes were built by the Knights Hospitaller of Saint John by enhancing the existing Byzantine walls starting from 1309.
The sunset with its plays of light enhances the beauty of the centenary stones and their history but many times we do not realize it.
A very photogenic Merlin perched on the side of the road giving us a great opportunity for a photo shoot.
When I call no-one but I can see the bending grass.
Our wonderful Bearded Collie Paddy went over Rainbow Bridge last week. Miss him so much
Back at the start of October I managed to grab a weekend away in the Peak District for some photography - while we don't live that far away, its far enough that sunrises and sunsets need a lot of planning and luck! So a couple of night's camping let me get close close to my favourite locations on a weekend that looked promising. The culmination of that weekend was this spectacular cloud inversion in the Hope Valley - conditions that I've never experienced before and was so excited to witness that I almost couldn't focus on the photography! Watching the waves of cloud break over the ridge was just amazing and I will remember this experience for the rest of my life.
Rainbow with jellyfish clouds (virga)
Another day we had unexpected evening rain. The beautiful clouds have been forming, and sun was shining low on the west. As always, at such weather conditions, I took my camera and went to chase the rainbow. There is a big field not far from my house, and from there I have observed the extraordinary rainbow with virga clouds illuminated by the setting sun.
Apparently such clouds more common in the desert, but rare elsewhere. Those "jellyfish tendrils" are rain that do not reach the ground.
Possibly, in this case, it is just a rain behind the rainbow... What do you think?
Anyway, it was a show on the sky I had been lucky to observe. The rainbow stayed for some time, then clouds hid the sun, and it was heavy raining again, I was wet by the time I come back home!
Недавно у нас был неожиданный вечерний дождь. Красивые облака формировались, а солнце светило низко на западе. Как всегда при такой погоде я взяла фотоаппарат и пошла ловить радугу. Недалеко от моего дома есть большое поле, и оттуда я наблюдала необыкновенную радугу с облаками вирги, освещенными заходящим солнцем.
По-видимому, такие облака чаще встречаются в пустыне, но редко где-либо еще. Эти «усики медузы» — это дождь, который не достигает земли.

Schon seit einigen Jahren versuche ich den Sonnenuntergang hinter dieser Baumgruppe einzufangen: richtiger Zeitpunkt (das gelingt nur zweimal im Jahr, ein paar Tage lang), richtiger Ort (nur 50 m "daneben" und schon ist die Sonne untergegangen, bis man zur richtigen Position kommt) und dann natürlich das Wetter... Sonne überhaupt zu sehen, sie ist zwar zu sehen, aber leider zu hell, die Bäumen sind nicht zu erkennen, Sonne geht am Horizont hinter einer Wolkenwand unter, etc. pp. ...
ja, und nun ist es gelungen (22.04.2022, 20:11)... die Bildqualität könnte zwar besser sein (das Licht flimmerte in Bodennähe), aber dafür sind sogar noch einige Sonnenfleckengruppen erkennbar: AR2993, 2994, 2995 - das war nur möglich, weil sich der Wolkenschleier über die Sonne gelegt hatte.
Diese gigantischen Sonnenfleckengruppen könnten in den nächsten Tagen zu Sonneneruptionen, Sonnenstürmen und weiters zu Polarlichter führen. Durch Sonnenstürme können z.B. Satelliten- und Funkausfälle ausgelöst werden.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL for your so many comments and faves! I really appreciate it and I hope to be able to get back to all of you soon.
I have been to some of the most amazing places in the world this past year and took quite a few thousands of photos. Bottom line, I just couldn't decide which one to choose for this copetition. I ended up with this one from... my city!
Taken at the Louvre, Paris, last February.
Early morning gazing east over remote badlands in southern Utah. There's nothing more stunning than watching the sun rise and watch light paint pastel colors across the Utah sky. The sun kisses the tops of the buttress and as each moment passes the badlands begin to glow with a golden hue. Beauty fills my eyes and the image is captured.

The pedestrian bridge at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, early in the morning. You can cross over and watch the races from either side and even catch a view at the outer edges.
This is an 1923 Sears home built by Archie and Mary Palmer. According to the Haigler Blog, it was originally built in Haigler, Nebraska, but was later moved a few miles south into Kansas. It was a pain in the butt to find. That's all I know about it. It is VERY remote.
I love these delicate flowers, so easy to grow that it puzzles me that I don't see more of them - perhaps their unromantic popular name "Poached Egg Flower" puts people off... The books say it is also known as Meadow-foam, but I've never heard it called that... perhaps because it doesn't grow in meadows here in the UK, far from its native California...
(The Tualatin Commons locale can generate some spiffy reflections from the buildings... somehow I really like this shot a lot.) A surprising spread of species on Tualatin Commons "Lake" (reflecting pool fed by the river). It was in the 30s, they might have been enjoying swimming on it because the next morning it was 21 degrees and probably froze through. This crew of Hooded Mergansers stole the show photographically. Made explore 12/24 around 202. I put this in for best pic of 2022 because as I said I really like it… that may be part of why.
Beth Silver is a cellist one hears a lot if one likes jazz and klezmer inspired jazz. There is plenty of soul in her sound. Here she plays in David Buchbinder's klezmer band part of the Ashkenaz Festival 2022 in Toronto at Drom Taberna.
Running empty, this truck and trailer must be going to pick up a load, passing by right after daybreak.
Almost ran into this big boy when I went outside this morning to get a new compost bucket. He was keeping a close eye one of the resident does who was browsing for food with her two little ones.
One of the first pictures of a buck I've ever taken! Technically not the best photograph, but it was really exciting to walk outside and have this scene before me.
