Islets at Cape Dyrholaey near Vik i Myrdal in South Iceland. Dyrholaey sports plenty of impressive monoliths which are photographed ever so often, but I also find these prolongations of a sunken mountain range of columnar basalt very beautiful and interesting.
pls wait for the image to load fully when viewing full size. Think enough of fractals for now - giving me headaches and bad for the eyes.
If Santorini turns out to be the lost Atlantis, then I don't want to hear or know. I prefer to keep the mystery.
The chimney belongs to an old tomatoes factory, which is currently a museum, in Vlychada Santorini. The marvelous accompanied sculptures are nature’s creations (volcano, wind, sea) and are decorating the whole Vlychada beach. The blue sky’s manipulation enchances the impression of an underwater image-Atlantis…

Amsterdam Light Festival - You may identify the image of an international metropolis plagued by floods and other natural disasters from blockbuster films like Deep Impact (1998) and The Day After Tomorrow (2004). With the sinking city, Atlantis, Utskottet demonstrates how this menacing scene can become a frightening reality.
The rise in sea levels and increase in extreme weather conditions around the world are demonstrable consequences of the way we recklessly interact with our planet – if we’re not careful, Amsterdam might one day be underwater. Utskottet drew inspiration from all over the world for the skyscrapers. If you look closely you might recognise some famous buildings like New York’s Empire State Building, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tower in Egypt, the BSA Twin Towers in the Philippines, or, a little closer to home, Amsterdam’s A’dam Tower.
Utskottet chose buildings from different cities to form a global cityscape – after all, the threat of total demise concerns us all. The title of the artwork, Atlantis, refers to the mythical narrative of an island empire that disappeared following a series of natural disasters. First written about by Greek philosopher and writer Plato (427-347 BC), the story details how Atlantis vanished underwater as the result of earthquakes and tidal waves.

Atlantis Fritillaries belong to the Group of Greater Fritillaries (Speyeria). The grey eye with dark spots help to distinquish it from two other Speyeria Fritillaries common here, the Aphrodite Fritillary and the Great-spangled Fritillary. They both have brown or amber eyes.

Angkor Thom"Great City", located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.:378–382:170
It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city isJayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
Map of Central Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.:121
Angkor Thom seems not to be the first Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name.:138 The name of Angkor Thom—great city—was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived.
The Ayutthaya Kingdom, led by King Borommarachathirat II, sacked Angkor Thom, forcing the Khmers under Ponhea Yat to relocate their capital southeast.:29
Angkor Thom was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato".:140 It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000–150,000 people.

Atlantis is off to the South if I having my bearings right. We didn't go there I guess they want to charge you simply to have the privilege of being on their property. I even debated on cutting it out of the image but I feel like it gives a bit of scale to the image.

What is an HDR ?
its the shortcut of HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE
HDR's (high dynamic range) images are composites that use multiple over and under exposed files to increase the amount of detail in the shadow and highlight areas.
Hope u like it all ..... . . .
