The Coastguard Cottages and Seven Sisters in the background through my crystal ball.
For my next trick I'll predict how brexit will pan out
Parks and wilderness, civilization and the natural environment. Of course the latter is subject to drought and fire...
With inverted tones we see the immense structure of the - to be - leaf supporting boughs, branches and twigs - once Spring comes a solar farm.

""In Japan 'Grampus' is a common alternative way of describing a killer whale. The kanji character for grampus can be interpreted in two ways; one reading is “shachi,” which is the Japanese for grampus.
The other interpretation is 'Shachihoko', which represents a monster with the head of a tiger and the tail of a carp. A gold-plated pair of these beasts adorns the top of Nagoya Castle in Japan.""

Fumiaki Kawate created both interpretations: "Grampus", as shown above and also "Shachihoko", also shown in the first comment box.
I used a sheet of satogami-paper 35x35 to fold this origami "Grampus".

We used Google Maps extensively on our recent western state's road trip. The application gives you the main route and also offers a couple of alternative routes. Believe it or not, this dirt road was one of the alternative routes offered. I'm glad we took it.

This Robin kept moving his head around in odd directions-- I'm not sure what he was checking out but he was clearly curious about something.

Symonds Yat
A short walk from the main viewing area at Symonds Yat Rock is the alternative view point, much quieter, in fact we were the only ones there. The views of the river Wye I thought were actually better from here. In the distance you should be just able to make out the spire of the church in the village of Goodrich, and below in the valley by the side of the river some cows looking very small.

Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
But it is the photo one of my children would have chosen for the just white paper macro Monday theme
The sun set to the right and behind a ridge not visible in this scene. However, on this occasion, as it dipped below the horizon, the brilliant reds reflected on the clouds above us and again in the water below - making it a lovely alternative to the actual sunset itself.
The technique:
I took this photograph and cropped it a little, altered hue to be this bright pink instead of green with some blurring, added a blue tinge for the sky and masked off the cows - adjusted the saturation so they were white once more and sketched them in using the graphic pen.
And the verdict.... what do you think, pop art or just rubbish??! Any honest opinions welcomed, I will not be offended!
PS this means opinions on the final result, not the fact of using an image editor! LOL : D

The vastness of the Australian outback is dwarfed by the Milky Way... and beyond. View from near Joffre Gorge, with the lights of Tom Price distant at left and a Karijini Eco Retreat bit closer on the right. Stitch of 9 photos using Hugin.
I've always been fascinating with fire escape stairs. The only thing missing here is someone running up or down. Oh well....
"Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on
′Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?"
