" 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 ..... "

A lone Juniper tree atop the overlook of Monument Basin. The view is breathtaking. The way life can find a way out of seemingly baren sandstone is moving. The White Rim Road is easily seen below. This 100 mile loop around the Basin is a popular and moderately difficult experience for high-clearance 4-wheel drive vehicles.
Not far from home yesterday morning. I just couldn't leave this cherry tree with the autumnally glowing leaves without a few photos;-)
Gestern Morgen nicht weit von zu Hause. Diesen Kirschbaum mit den herbstlich leuchtenden Blättern konnte ich einfach nicht ohne ein paar Fotos stehen lassen;-)
Autumn time in Stellisee , Zermatt. No. 293 294 295. Canton of Valais, Switzerland.
"The Stellisee (2,537 m) is among the most famous of Zermatt’s lakes. The sight of the Matterhorn reflected on its mirror-like surface is breathtakingly beautiful, and is made for magnificent photographs."
Thank You for your inspiration, take care and keep on doing ...( Please ) !
Warm greetings / Zak.
Be like the ocean.
Breathtaking
to look at,
strong enough to
not be destroyed,
and gentle enough
so others find comfort
in your presence.

Taxi to Cherishville
The climb to the Brèche du Dérochoir (2171 m- 7451 ft) from the Refuge de Sales (1870 m- 6135 ft) was harder than the drop suggested, especially the last climb before reaching the top.
But there, suddenly, the entire Mont-Blanc range vas deployed in front of our amazed eyes, from the Aiguille Verte (4122 m - 13524 ft ) to the Mont Blanc (4808 m - 15774 ft).
I had never seen it so perfectly in all its extent, neither too close nor too far, just the wright distance to clearly distinguish and recognize the high peaks which stood out in a perfect light on this vertiginous relief.
A view of anthology, it was a great moment!

A couper le souffle !
La montée à la Brèche du Dérochoir (2171 m) depuis le refuge de Sales (1870 m) fut plus dure que ne le suggérait le dénivelé, particulièrement la fin de la montée avant d'arriver en haut.
Mais là, d'un coup, tout la chaîne du Mont-Blanc était déployée devant nos yeux émerveillés, depuis l'Aiguille Verte (4122 m) jusqu'au Mont Blanc (4808 m).
Je ne l'avais jamais vu aussi parfaitement dans toute son ampleur, ni trop près, ni trop loin, juste le bon recul pour bien distinguer et reconnaître les hauts sommets qui se découpaient dans une lumière parfaite sur ce relief vertigineux.
Une vue d'anthologie, ce fut un grand moment !

Currently you can experience the peak of the vine leaf coloring in the Ahr Valley. The color red is rare because it is related to a specific grape variety, namely the "Dyer Grape", which is cultivated to give red wine a darker color through admixture.
Aktuell kann man im Ahrtal wieder den Höhepunkt der Weinlaubfärbung erleben. Die Farbe rot kommt selten vor, denn es handelt sich um eine bestimmte Rebsorte, nämlich die "Färbertraube", die angebaut wird, um dem Rotwein eine dunklere Farbe durch Beimischung zu geben.
Known as the “lone tree of lake Wanaka,” it is said to be one of the most photographed trees in all New Zealand. ... The lone tree is right at the foothills of Mount Aspiring National Park, a World Heritage Site, acting as a doorway into even more of the breathtaking landscapes that embody the South Island of New Zealand.
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

"Breathtaking pink flowers are the hallmark of Protea Australis Pink. An attractive shrub with silvery-green foliage, these iconic blossoms burst forth in the autumn and remain until winter, attracting birds to your garden. Ideal for coastal and native gardens, with common uses including hedging, screening or as a feature plant. The flowers, when cut, add beautiful structure to floral arrangements."

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)
I have often come to the Roche de Solutré (Solutre's Rock) to admire the gorgeous 360 degrees view that we discover at its top.
But I must admit that there, at sunset, under this very special light, with this sea of clouds covering the valley of the Saone River and the Mont-Blanc clearly visible on the horizon, it was an unusual breathtaking sight !

Je suis venu souvent à la Roche de Solutré pour admirer la magnifique vue à 360 degrés qu'on découvre à son sommet.
Mais je dois avouer que là, au soleil couchant, sous cette lumière très spéciale, avec cette mer de nuages recouvrant la vallée de la Saône et le Mont-Blanc bien visible à l'horizon, c'était un spectacle inhabituel à couper le souffle !

I took this photo at the top of an access road above the red roofed church. it was a challenge to omit all of the people and busses that kept pulling into the church parking lot. The Village below is Vik, Iceland.
“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
