Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe (Valencian: Museu de les Ciències Príncep Felip, Spanish: Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe, Anglicised as "Príncipe Felipe/Prince Philip Science Museum") is an important visitor attraction in Valencia, Spain. It forms part of the City of Arts and Sciences, and can be found at the end of Calle Luis García Berlanga. Its director is Spanish science writer and television personality, Manuel Toharia.
The building was designed by Santiago Calatrava and was built by a joint venture of Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas and Necso.[1] It opened on 13 November 2000. It is over 40,000 square meters in area and resembles the skeleton of a whale.

My sister and I passed by this power plant as we were driving home from the beach a while back. We both found it quite an eerie sight. I tried to bring that mood into this piece.
Five days ago I posted Colorado River Country, which was taken at Gore Valley Overlook, looking north.
This photo was taken from the same overlook, but looking at the opposite side, south, into the gorgeous Gore Valley and Colorado River.
Yup, it's definitely my type of roadside attraction!!!
Many thanks for your kind visit and support; I wish you a wonderful day, please stay safe and healthy!
For some that phrase would describe their eyes after a late night of partying and ringing in the New Year. For me on this first morning of the 20s, it meant first-light reaching Towers of the Virgin in Zion National Park.
Being a native East-Coaster, who has transplanted to life on the West Coast, I still feel that the New Year occurs when the crystal ball drops in New York, and that's the end. So, with the aide of staid Springdale, Utah, it was easy to get an early bedtime on New Years Eve so we could begin the trek to the Canyon Overlook Trail at 6:00 AM to catch first-light and sunrise from this vantage.
The trail is a relatively flat mile hike with a few tricky spots where the ice and slickrock conspire to give even the most sure-footed concern in the dark. Once we reached the overlook, I was a little concerned that our cold trek may have been for naught, due to the heavy cloud cover. Though they were thick overhead, there still was some clearing to the East, along the sun on the horizon to light a narrow band, reflecting off the cloud bottoms and warming the sheer rocks faces of the Temple of the Virgin ahead. This image was captured about 10-15 minutes before the local sunrise time, and is considerably brighter than what we saw with our eyes, due to the 20-second exposure.
Once the actual sun rays reached the Temple directly, the light only lit the areas seen here in red for less than 5 minutes before disappearing above the clouds for the remainder of the day.

Happy Macro Monday everyone :)
The only magnet I could find in the house was on my camera strap ... I don't have a single fridge magnet, as the fridge door has a wooden outer, so not a lot point in having fridge magnets :)))
This happens to be one of the sunflowers from the bird seed. I did plant some colorful sunflowers that will be opening soon. I love how nature takes its course with the bird seeds and gives us not only chances to see the birds, but beauty in flowers also.
The adult males are difficult to find. During the migration they are the first to leave on their road South. I felt fortunate to catch this one zipping around the backyard the last of August.

Not about people, totally about landscape, in the middle of sunset, sometime pink is very attracitive colour! 同人無關，純風景，在日落中，有時粉紅色也相當具有誘惑力！
......may you be the center of attraction in a wonderful way to someone this week.
You deserve to be spoiled.

Early this morning, while driving the car, I listen this song and the desire to create this image needed to me ... I have made...
Tôt ce matin, en conduisant ma voiture, j'écoutais cette chanson et j'ai eu l'envie de créer cette image qui s'imposait à moi... je l'ai faîte...
When it started raining on our park hike he drove down the main road with our windows opened to see what we could find. The trails are so wet that most of the deer are right on the roadside.

Dún Aonghasa (Unofficial anglicised version Dun Aengus) is the best-known of several prehistoric hill forts on the Aran Islands of County Galway, Republic of Ireland. It lies on Inis Mór, at the edge of a 100-metre-high (330 ft) cliff.
A popular tourist attraction, Dún Aonghasa is an important archaeological site.
History
It is not known exactly when Dún Aonghasa was built, though it is now thought that most of the structures date from the Bronze Age and Iron Age. T. F. O'Rahilly surmised in what is known as O'Rahilly's historical model that it was built in the 2nd century BC by the Builg following the Laginian conquest of Connacht.Excavations at the site indicate that the first construction goes back to 1100 BC, when rubble was piled against large upright stones to form the first enclosure. Around 500 BC, the triple wall defenses were probably constructed along the fort's western side.
The 19th-century artist George Petrie called "Dún Aonghasa" "the most magnificent barbaric monument in Europe". Its name, meaning "Fort of Aonghas", may refer to the pre-Christian god of the same name described in Irish mythology, or the mythical king, Aonghus mac Úmhór. It has thus traditionally been associated with the Fir Bolg.
Form and function
The fort consists of a series of four concentric walls of dry stone construction, built on a high cliff some one hundred metres above the sea. At the time of its construction sea levels were considerably lower and a recent Radio Telefis Eireann documentary estimates that originally it was 1000 metres from the sea. Surviving stonework is four metres wide at some points. The original shape was presumably oval or D-shaped but parts of the cliff and fort have since collapsed into the sea. Outside the third ring of walls lies a defensive system of stone slabs, known as a cheval de frise, planted in an upright position in the ground and still largely well-preserved. These ruins also feature a huge rectangular stone slab, the function of which is unknown. Impressively large among prehistoric ruins, the outermost wall of Dún Aonghasa encloses an area of approximately 6 hectares (14 acres).
Today
The walls of Dún Aonghasa have been rebuilt to a height of 6m and have wall walks, chambers, and flights of stairs. The restoration is easily distinguished from the original construction by the use of mortar.[citation needed]
There is a small museum illustrating the history of the fort and its possible functions. Also in the vicinity is a Neolithic tomb and a small heritage park featuring examples of a traditional thatched cottage and an illegal poteen distillery.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Kostel Sv. Antonína was built 1908-1911 (arch. Frantisek Mikš) and dominate the lower part of Strossmayer Square. The whole square seemed to be renovated shortly before my visit in 2014. The church was always popular attraction for kids, as the steep hills (in the back of the church) were perfect for sledding in the winter time. I have been inside, as a kid, but only to do some mischief or hide from rain. The church is under heritage protection only since 2015. Not a tourist attraction as such, but at least no line-ups or extortionist entry fees as at St. Vitus Cathedral (about 350 K- that's 10 beers in a pub).
