" I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world ..... "

I am on a business-trip in Switzerland this week, unfortunately without my camera. The weather is probably not perfect for great shootings, low clouds and thunderstorms are real spoil-sports. Anyway, I post an older shot from a recent visit, showing the Rhine Falls of Schaffhausen, Switzerland

As we are approaching the Valle de la Luna, the arid beauty of the Atacama Desert stands out. The landscape in the foreground is dominated by crystallized salt formations. The mountain in the background is the Licancabur volcano. (Atacama desert, Chile)
This 'Illuminated Image' of the Limestone Penmaen-bach Headland (Right) and the Cumulus Clouds above, was taken at 20.10pm, fifteen minutes before the sun finally disappeared below the Western Horizon to my immediate left. Recently, I posted the stunningly beautiful sunset image, taken seconds beforehand, but this was the equally beautiful vista to my then immediate right. The way the setting sun was 'Illuminating' the Cumulus Clouds was what first attracted me - then as the clouds further cleared the sun's rays lit up the nearby Penmaen-bach Headland too.
This was another added bonus and the perfect end to an enjoyable shoreline walk organised by Conwy Camera Club.
We'd left the same spot at 4.30pm to walk the two mile headland shoreline between Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan only possible at extremely low tides. As well as enjoying the stunning coastal views, we were also able to walk beneath the impressive Victorian North Wales Coast Railway and much more modern A55 North Wales Expressway Road Viaducts standing above each other on the headland.
This shot was taken from Penmaenmawr's Western Promenade Car Park looking across Conwy Bay to the town of Llandudno (centre in shadow). Far left, also in shadow, is the Great Orme Limestone Headland and beyond the Irish Sea.

One of the greatest joys of travelling along the Lofoten islands besides its absolutely breathtaking nature and topography must be the many many MANY tunnels that links some of them or which lead the E10 through insuperable mountains. It became one of my pleasures to be at the ready with my cameras and shoot while we were inside. Soo much fun, especially since most of the time you are all by yourself, not a single other car at sight and where else does one have that pleasure?! :)
Happy Monochrome Monday!
“Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful, it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living a heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.” - L.R. Knost

The quite breathtaking view from the Pinnacle summit, certainly worth the walk. I had to wait though to get an image without the daredevil "insta crowd" posing on that closest ledge. Shudder ... the cries of "I'm soooo freaking scared" were ringing out loud and clear for all to hear. My internal dialogue was something like "And so you "freaking" should be" Some word/s might have been changed :)
something new... felt like being creative today :)
inspired by my daily routine at work!!! just like a machine I go...go...go... Like we all do!!! Happy Monday everyone!
