Vista espectacular de la ciutat àrtica de Tromso des de dalt del mirador de Fjellheisen, al que s'hi arriba amb teleferic. Caminant una mica cap al sud s'arriba al millor mirador, el Storsteinen, a 420 m. d'alçada.
==================
A wonderful panoramic view of the artic city of Tromso in winter, seen from the Storsteinen viewpoint (420 m. above sea level), which can be reached with the Fjellheisen cable car.

Som al Moianès i aviat es pondrà el sol, la Muntanya de Montserrat i a baix la masia de "El Salomó" són testimonis silenciosos d'aquest espectacle.
Vaig anar a fotografiar aus, va enfosquir i sense necessitat de canviar l'objectiu vaig poder fotografiar allò que veia.

Second turist gave up over here.
Some people do not acclimate to high altitude. There is no way to get to the Andes the day before and play sports, walk, breath, eat and we live at sea level.
It seems spring came early this year, snow melts, puddles everywhere and very slippery...
Winter was beautiful and snowy, perfect for my long distance walks.
I'm back and I'll try to catch up. :-)
Many thanks to everyone for your visit, comments and faves! Much appreciated!
Have a wonderful week ahead! :-)

Actually, the name of the game is "Kendama". Kendamakeh is just Kendama with bokeh applied. =)
Kendama (sword and ball) is a traditional Japanese skill toy. The ken has three cups and a spike which fits into the hole in the ball. The kendama is a variant of the classic cup-and-ball game, and the Hispanic world toy known as boliche or balero.
Here, an unidentified man spends an unusually warm January afternoon listening to music while playing with a Kendama toy in Director Park, located in Downtown Portland, Oregon. The unexpected mild conditions persuaded many to take advantage of what could be a final opportunity for outdoor activity before winter weather hits the city.
Who is not afraid of the cold and wants to walk with me? ;-)))
Men seem to be afraid of frost :-)))))))
Snow... a lot of snow... and we'll get more :-)) I love this winter! .

Bound for Chicago, a Metra train sprints through Wheaton on a wintry Sunday morning. My intention had been to continue with my Thai agricultural series but, with the recent onslaught of arctic air here in the Upper Midwest, I decided to temporarily put the rice on ice :) Stay warm friends! Or, if you live in a warm climate, ice versa :)

History-
e 3.7 cm Flak 36 was an anti-aircraft cannon produced by Nazi Germany that saw widespread service in the Second World War. The cannon was fully automatic and effective against aircraft flying at altitudes up to 4,200 m.The cannon was produced in both towed and self-propelled versions. Having a flexible doctrine, the Germans used their anti-aircraft pieces in ground support roles as well; 37 mm caliber guns were no exception to that.
Santa Margherita di Belice (Santa Margarita in siciliano) è un comune italiano di 6 322 abitanti della provincia di Agrigento, in Sicilia.
da: it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Margherita_di_Belice
Fondata nel 1572 dal Barone Antonio Corbera, antenato dello scrittore Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, sorge nella zona sud-occidentale della Sicilia, tra i fiumi Belìce, Senore e Carboj, alla confluenza delle province di Palermo, Trapani e Agrigento. Confina, con i comuni di Salaparuta (TP), Contessa Entellina (PA), Sambuca di Sicilia, Menfi e Montevago (AG).
Nel suo territorio si trovano testimonianze di insediamenti sicani, greci, romani e arabi. Nel 1610 il Re Filippo III autorizzò il barone Girolamo Corbera, nipote del fondatore, a dare al paese il nome di Santa Margherita. I Principi Filangeri, succeduti ai baroni Corbera, diedero impulso al paese con la costruzione di diversi edifici e facendone aumentare la popolazione. Tra i Filangeri di Santa Margherita di Belìce si annoverano tre vicerè di Sicilia: Alessandro I, Alessandro II e Nicolò I che nel 1812 ospitò nel Palazzo di Santa Margherita, per circa tre mesi, il Re Ferdinando, la regina Maria Carolina (la Donnafugata) e il principe Leopoldo di Borbone.

A sinistra:
Palazzo Filangeri di Cutò, meglio conosciuto come Palazzo Gattopardo. Quasi completamente distrutto durante il terremoto (si salvò solamente la facciata), è stato in seguito parzialmente ricostruito ed oggi è la sede del Municipio, del Museo del Gattopardo, dell'Istituzione Parco Letterario Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa e del Teatro Sant'Alessandro.
Museo del Gattopardo. Vi si trovano le riproduzioni dell'originale manoscritto e dattiloscritto del romanzo, donate da Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi. Sono esposte anche altre teche contenenti le lettere, gli appunti, la documentazione e le foto d'epoca dello scrittore; ci sono postazioni multimediali che fanno rivivere i saggi critici e i film dedicati all'opera. Si possono anche vedere e ascoltare le interviste a Claudia Cardinale e Alain Delon, indimenticabili interpreti del film di Luchino Visconti, così come lo stesso manoscritto, la sua stesura, le correzioni apportate. Pagina dopo pagina, bozze e correzioni, fino alla stesura finale. Vi è anche la rappresentazione, attraverso un piccolo museo delle cere, di una scena del “Gattopardo” viscontiano.
A destra:
Museo della Memoria Si tratta di uno spazio realizzato utilizzando i ruderi dell'ex Chiesa Madre restaurati, un tempo luogo di ritrovo e punto di incontro e di riferimento delle attività religiose e sociali del paese e poi rovinosamente distrutta dalle scosse sismiche. Al suo interno centinaia di fotografie guidano il visitatore alla scoperta della Valle del Belìce e dei suoi nove paesi (Gibellina, Montevago, Salaparuta, Poggioreale, Santa Margherita di Belìce, Santa Ninfa, Sambuca di Sicilia e Vita) prima di quella sconvolgente notte del 15 gennaio 1968. Decine e decine di scatti fotografici che immortalano volti di uomini, donne e bambini, di case distrutte, di paesi stravolti e in particolare di macerie. E poi tutte le fasi dei primi soccorsi, gli aiuti, le baracche, fino ad arrivare alla ricostruzione urbanistica, ma anche alla rinascita umana di tutta quella gente che si ritrovò protagonista di quel tragico evento.

The Wildalpjoch is a 1720 meter high mountain in the Bavarian Alps. It is surrounded by the peaks of Wendelstein, Kesselwand, Soin and Hochsalwand. In the south is the Sudelfeld. It is a rather more frequented by locals and therefore less frequented than its neighbor Wendelstein. But you have almost the same view. In winter, the summit is a popular destination for ski touring enthusiasts.
I took the chance and used the last warm and sunny weekend for a wonderful hike and photography tour. You can see the Brünnstein mountain in the foreground and the Tyropl alps in the background. The warm falling wind the so called Föhn has blown the clouds away so that you have a beautiful distant view.
Aussicht vom Wildalpjoch-Gipfel - Bayern
Das Wildalpjoch ist ein 1720 Meter hoher Berg in den Bayerischen Alpen. Er ist umgeben von den Gipfeln des Wendelsteins, der Kesselwand, des Soin und der Hochsalwand. Im Süden liegt das Sudelfeld. Es ist ein eher von Einheimischen begangener Gipfel und somit weniger frequentiert als sein Nachbar Wendelstein. Man hat jedoch fast die gleiche Aussicht. Im Winter ist der Gipfel ein beliebtes Ziel bei Skitourengehern.
Ich habe das wohl letzte warme sonnige Wochenende für eine wunderschöne Wanderung und Fototour genutzt. Und es hat sich gelohnt, auch das schwere Tele mitzuschleppen :-)
Im Vordergrund könnt ihr den Brünnstein sehen und im Hintergrund die Tiroler Alpen.
Der warme Föhn hat die Wolken in Richtung Norden weggefegt, sodass man eine tolle Fernsicht hatte.

Autumn kittens. (3 kittens) 🍁🐈🍂 The best photo models 💛
These are not the same cats that I uploaded before (see photo in the first comment, there are 1 adult cat and 2 kittens).
I wanted to take more photos of these cats on Monday in the short lunchtime because we had some snow... but cats didn't want to walk in the snow 😂, they didn't want to get their paws cold... hahaha 😂 they were inside.
Well, of course... they are autumn cats, not winter cats. 😂

Thamudic and Nabataean inscriptions, depicting camel caravans, hunting warriors and various animals, are common throughout the Wadi Rum area. The Alameleh inscriptions, near the Seven Pillars of Wisdom and on the edge of the Diseh district, are some of the most comprehensive and best preserved.
The desert trips with the jeeps are well organised and I would recomend the 4 hour jeep trip, any excursion will be organised for you by Mr khaled.

In these days, as the nights get longer and the days shorter, I like to remember the time back a year ago, when we were together in Canada to discover the uniquely beautiful nature. And we were able to spend so many wonderful hours and days together, that we look back with joy and gratitude on this blessed time. My eldest son stayed in Canada for a other 6 months and did not return until February this year. In that time when he was in Canada, close friendships developed. His longing for the country and his dear friends was so great, that he went back to Canada this summer again, to meet there his friends and the beautiful nature again. This picture was taken at this time and I am so grateful to my beloved son, that I am allowed to share it with you, dear friends. Thank you very much Jonah. (Sometimes it seems to me, that my son and I can see such natural beauties through the same eyes. I would have captured this beautiful lake like him. I am so happy that we both have so much joy in nature and the passion for photography, to experience and share with each other the wonders of creation.)
I have tears in my eyes, because I too would like to return to this breathtakingly beautiful country with its fantastic landscapes. It was one of the best times in my life.
Thank you so much my dear friends, for take part of my personel journey and my deep feelings for this wonderful nature and also for the people who belong to this beautiful country. The indigenous people there deserve our respect and recognition. I am so grateful to have stirred the spirit of freedom and peace there. I was never as close to my childhood dream as I was in Canada in these days. I'll come back, God's willing.
To the picture: Peyto Lake is a mountain lake in the Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake is fed by glaciers and is world-famous for its eye-catching turquoise color. The photo was taken in the early morning hours. This location is one of the most beautiful viewpoint you can have there.
A prayer of peace
May we seek the truth, and speak it quietly.
May we listen for truth in the words of others with open minds and hearts.
And may we always remember the peace that may be found in silence.
(From an Indian prayer)

Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa, io non credea
Tornare ancor per uso a contemplarvi
Sul paterno giardino scintillanti,
E ragionar con voi dalle finestre
Di questo albergo ove abitai fanciullo,
E delle gioie mie vidi la fine.
Quante immagini un tempo, e quante fole
Creommi nel pensier l'aspetto vostro
E delle luci a voi compagne! allora
Che, tacito, seduto in verde zolla,
Delle sere io solea passar gran parte
Mirando il cielo, ed ascoltando il canto
Della rana rimota alla campagna!
E la lucciola errava appo le siepi
E in su l'aiuole, susurrando al vento
I viali odorati, ed i cipressi
Là nella selva; e sotto al patrio tetto
Sonavan voci alterne, e le tranquille
Opre de' servi. E che pensieri immensi,
Che dolci sogni mi spirò la vista
Di quel lontano mar, quei monti azzurri,
Che di qua scopro, e che varcare un giorno
Io mi pensava, arcani mondi, arcana
Felicità fingendo al viver mio!
Ignaro del mio fato, e quante volte
Questa mia vita dolorosa e nuda
Volentier con la morte avrei cangiato....
...O speranze, speranze; ameni inganni
Della mia prima età! sempre, parlando,
Ritorno a voi; che per andar di tempo,
Per variar d'affetti e di pensieri,
Obbliarvi non so. Fantasmi, intendo,
Son la gloria e l'onor; diletti e beni
Mero desio; non ha la vita un frutto,
Inutile miseria. E sebben vóti
Son gli anni miei, sebben deserto, oscuro
Il mio stato mortal, poco mi toglie
La fortuna, ben veggo. Ahi, ma qualvolta
A voi ripenso, o mie speranze antiche,
Ed a quel caro immaginar mio primo;
Indi riguardo il viver mio sì vile
E sì dolente, e che la morte è quello
Che di cotanta speme oggi m'avanza;
Sento serrarmi il cor, sento ch'al tutto
Consolarmi non so del mio destino.
E quando pur questa invocata morte
Sarammi allato, e sarà giunto il fine
Della sventura mia; quando la terra
Mi fia straniera valle, e dal mio sguardo
Fuggirà l'avvenir; di voi per certo
Risovverrammi; e quell'imago ancora
Sospirar mi farà, farammi acerbo
L'esser vissuto indarno, e la dolcezza
Del dì fatal tempererà d'affanno...

7DWF, Monday: Anything Goes
Surprisingly empty upper platforms at Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) on a beautiful summer evening. Believe it or not, Berlin Hauptbahnhof is the largest train station in Europe, with approximately 300 000 travellers per day, making it the 4th most frequented train station in Germany (after Hamburg, Munich, and Frankfurt/Main). Or the least frequented, at least on a Saturday evening at 19:39 o' clock. Well, the next train to Zurich from platform 13 wasn't due until 21:04. At least there was a lonely dove, an employee of the Deutsche Bahn AG (in the red hat), shuffling along the platform, and a guy who organized his luggage. And us: Sabine.R, marionrosengarten, --Conrad-N-- and H. Roebke :-)
Bemerkenswerte Leere am ehemaligen Lehrter Bahnhof (seit 2006 Berlin Hauptbahnhof) an einem sonnigen Samstagabend um 19:39 Uhr. Der nächste Zug nach Zürich ging von Gleis 13 aber auch erst um 21:04 Uhr. Immerhin schlurfte ein Mitarbeiter der Deutschen Bahn auf Gleis 13 entlang, ein einsamer Passagier ordnete sein Gepäck, und die nicht minder einsame Taube hatte somit den Bahnsteig fast für sich. Aber wir waren ja auch noch da: Sabine.R, marionrosengarten, --Conrad-N-- and H. Roebke :-)
