Here's another one from my daytime photo folder. Not as dramatic as most of posts but I need to mix it up a little every once in a while.
I took this one on my way to Gooseneck State Park, Utah. I have passed this spot 4 times and decided that I should make time for a revisit before some boy scout troop tips this thing over, Hehe. I had this amazing compulsion to want to climb up this thing and push it on over, so I can image what a group of drunk teens or some Ill managed boy scout troop could do once mob rules takes over. :)
Luckily there were some nice clouds drifting around this time. The last three times by here, the dreaded blank skies made for some uninteresting scenery.
Located between Monument Valley and the city of Bluff, in San Juan County Utah, The name "Mexican Hat" comes from this curiously sombrero-shaped, 60-foot wide by 12-foot thick, rock outcropping on the northeast edge of town. The "Hat"' has two rock climbing routes ascending to it's top.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great Wednesday ahead!! :)

Fontevraud Abbey
Fontevraud Royal Abbey, situated where the three regions of Poitou, Anjou and Touraine meet, is one of the largest surviving monastic cities from the Middle Ages.
The first permanent structures were built between 1110 and 1119. Then located within what is sometimes referred to as the Angevin Empire, the King of England, Henry II, his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and son, King Richard the Lionheart were buried here at the end of the 12th century. Disestablished as a monastery during the French Revolution, it served as a prison from 1804 to 1963.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is situated in the Loire Valley between Chalonnes-sur-Loire and Sully-sur-Loire within the Loire-Anjou-Touraine French regional natural park (Parc naturel régional Loire-Anjou-Touraine).
The Abbey was listed as a Historic Monument in 1840, and, as part of the Loire Valley, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. In a green valley just a few kilometres from the Loire River, near Saumur, Fontevraud is one of the unmissable stops on a visit to the Loire Valley.
L' Arsenale della Real Marina, aperto nel 1997, è un monumento di Palermo che ha sede in via dell'Arsenale, in un'area prospiciente i Cantieri Navali della città.
All’inizio del XVII secolo l’arsenale della città sorgeva nell’edificio posto nella odierna Piazza Fonderia, costruito nel 1601 proprio come arsenale per le regie galere, ormeggiate sul fondo del porto della Cala. Dopo poco tempo, in seguito all’espansione del porto di Palermo con la costruzione del nuovo molo più a nord (1567-1590), si decise di spostare anche l’arsenale in un luogo più conveniente e spazioso, lasciando al vecchio edificio il ruolo di fonderia per le artiglierie (Real Fonderia alla Cala).
Il nuovo arsenale, di forma rettangolare, venne costruito tra il 24 gennaio 1621, giorno in cui fu posata la prima pietra, ed il 1630, su progetto dell’architetto palermitano e ingegnere del senato Mariano Smiriglio. La costruzione dell’arsenale, iniziata sotto il Viceré Francesco de Lemos duca di Castro per iniziativa di don Diego Pimentel (all’epoca Generale delle Galere di Sicilia), si protrasse per circa nove anni e terminò sotto il vicereame di Francisco Fernández de La Cueva duca di Alburquerque.

Dopo i lavori di restauro eseguiti dalla Soprintendenza l'edificio è stato adibito nel 1999 a spazio museale, e affidato in gestione ai membri del "Comitato pro Arsenale Borbonico".

Orense es una ciudad y municipio español, capital de la provincia de Orense (Galicia). Es la tercera ciudad gallega por población, tras Vigo y La Coruña, y la más poblada del interior de Galicia
El origen de la ciudad es romano, aunque existen dudas sobre la etimología del topónimo Orense. La primera teoría señala que fue bautizada por los romanos posiblemente como «La ciudad del oro»
Espero sea de vuestro agrado

The subtle effect of shapes on the associative understanding of the world has always fascinated me. The objective observer detects a symmetric space in the middle of an organ is. What identifies our subconscious?
