Kayangan Lake, Coron, Palawan, Philippines: The Best Tourist Spot
This is Kayangan Lake, said to be the cleanest of its kind in the Philippines. In my modest travels around my country, I think this is one of the best tourist spots this beautiful land has to offer. The place is simply magical. ☺ So, to my dear friends here and abroad, list PALAWAN as one of the places you to ought to visit !!!!
About the photograph – First off, this is not a fisheye... it's a Vertorama stitched up from 20 Raw files. My ambition is to own a wide-angle lens, but I just can’t afford one while I’m training… so it’s CS4 for me! LOL! ☺

A flickr member from chile just mailed me, and in my smallest of ways, want to help their country:
Help Chile Overcome the Earthquake.
Chile stepped up efforts to find survivors of an earthquake registering 8.8 magnitude that struck before dawn yesterday, killing more than 700 people, severing the country’s main highway and damaging 1.5 million homes.
The earthquake was centered 200 miles (317 kilometers) southwest of Santiago near the main winemaking region and close to Concepcion, a metropolitan region of more than 500,000 people. Highways and airports were shut by damage and some copper mines closed. The total economic damage may be as much as $30 billion, or about 15 percent of the South American country’s gross domestic product, according to estimates by disaster- scenario modeler Eqecat Inc.
We need your help to overcome the earthquake.

As we haven't much in flower in our garden right now I went for a wander around the gardens at Standen House, a National Trust property. But yet again I forgot how breezy it gets up there on the hillside. Many times the flowers were just dancing too much to capture. Not the cleanest of camellia flowers, but it was sheltered from the wind.

Clean
The cleanest I've been
An end to the tears
And the in-between years
And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean
You know what I mean
I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I've changed my routine
Now I'm clean
I don't understand
What destiny's planned
I'm starting to grasp
What is in my own hands
I don't claim to know
Where my holiness goes
I just know that I like
What is starting to show
Sometimes
Clean
The cleanest I've been
An end to the tears
And the in-between years
And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean
You know what I mean
I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I've changed my routine
Now I'm clean
As years go by
All the feelings inside
Twist and they turn
As they ride with the tide
I don't advise
And I don't criticise
I just know what I like
With my own eyes
Sometimes
Clean
The cleanest I've been
An end to the tears
And the in-between years
And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean
Sometimes
You know what I mean
I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I've changed my routine
Now I'm clean
Sometimes
Now I'm clean
The cleanest I've been
-DEPECHE MODE: "Clean"
Salt Lake City is a really interesting place. This is the first time I have ever been here. This is definitely the most spectacular state Capital building I have ever seen. Last week I shot the pitiful little capital building in Carson City, Nevada. That one looked like a little elementary school in Genericville, USA. So far, my feelings on Salt Lake City are mixed. It is one of the cleanest, nicest cities I have ever seen. It has some of the most spectacular architecture I've seen. Photography wise, it is challenging because it also has more new construction than I have ever seen in one place. Right in the middle of the skyline is a huge cluster of half built skeleton buildings surrounded by cranes. The lake itself is interesting. It's got some parts that are kinda pretty. But, for the most part, if you get too close, it's a gooey, slimy, crusty mess. The only thing that lives in it is Brine Shrimp, and billions of flies. It smells like death.
Auckland (as far as I know) is the *only* major metropolis on the planet where it's safe to catch and *eat* fish within city limits. Water is so clear you can *snorkel* in the downtown harbours!
Picture taken of a pier that juts out about 300m from land where many were fishing for food to take home and eat that day.

Der Königssee wird wunderschön von Bergen umgeben. Von hier aus kann man die Watzmann-Ostwand bestaunen und besteigen. Der Köngssee gilt als der sauberste See in Deutschland.
The Königssee (King's lake) is beautifully surrounded by mountains. From here you can admire and climb the Watzmann-Ostwand. The Köngssee is regarded as the cleanest lake in Germany.
The cleanest 90's Pathfinder I have seen since the 90's.
Perks of living in the west.
1995 was the last year of this generation.
It is also interesting to note that the Pathfinder kept getting the old three-slot hood whilst the D21 "Hardbody" Pickup last got it in mid 1992.
Also showcasing my MPX mod. Probably the "cleanest" mod I've done compared to most of my mods, but I'm happy to say that I was pleased with the result.
Oh yeah, and the Reaver is from Logan btw, I wanted to make one of those guys cause I haven't seen anyone make any of them besides Donald. That, and I thought some of them looked cool.
Awesome waterfall at the back of the Big Four Ice Cave. It blew me away in person but was very hard to capture. I was being pelted by the melting ceiling which made a long exposure pointing up quite the challenge. This was my cleanest attempt despite the water distortion in the upper left corner.
-Vrijdag 1 April 2022 10:21-
[NL] In de week van maart naar april kwamen steeds geluiden naar buiten dat het weer een totaal ander beeld zou aanhouden dan voorgaande weken. Na vele dagen zonder bewolking en temperaturen tot twintig graden, zou maart 2022 namelijk worden afgesloten met... sneeuw! Toevalligerwijs zou de sneeuw vallen in de nacht van 31 maart op 1 april zodat de gedachte kwam of het een aprilgrap betrof, maar niets was minder waar. Aangezien ik de betreffende vrijdag deels vrij was, had ik alvast ruimte ingepland om te profiteren van de sneeuw. Dat loonde want er was effectief sneeuw gevallen, en zodanig veel dat alles wit was geworden. Die ochtend werd al gewaarschuwd dat het van korte duur zou zijn, want halverwege de ochtend kwam de temperatuur weer boven nul. Zodoende bekeek ik de opties in de buurt waarbij mijn aandacht uit ging naar België, aangezien ik vorig jaar in Roosendaal bleef met de sneeuw. De hoop had ik gezet op de IC-dienst Charleroi-Sud - Essen, die overwegend wordt getrokken/geduwd door locs van de reeks 27. Ik kwam uit op de trein die rond kwart over tien op het grensstationnetje aankomt en op deze vrijdag werd getrokken door de schoonste van de vloot: de 2760. Ik was direct overgehaald en stond binnen een kwartier buiten, om de ingesneeuwde auto te starten en naar de zuiderburen te rijden. Doordat alle wegen sneeuwvrij waren ging het voorspoediger dan gedacht, ofwel had ik bij de inrit van Essen tijd in overvloed om een standpunt te bepalen. Met wat passen en meten had ik een nieuw fotopunt gevonden, waarbij het alleen nog wachten was op de intussen vertraagde intercity. Circa tien minuten na voorziene aankomst kwam de trein in zicht en op gepaste snelheid rolde de uiterst schone HLE27 het besneeuwde Essen binnen:
Hoewel de dooi al flink in gang is gezet ligt er nog genoeg sneeuw als Intercity 2010, getrokken door de 2760 en geduwd door de 2704, op het punt staat zijn eindstation te bereiken. Zoals verwacht was tweede genoemde loc even zo proper, zodat ik uiteraard ook de terugrit naar Charleroi-Sud heb opgewacht: wordt vervolgd!
[EN] At the end of March, the weather forecasts predicted snow in the Netherlands and Belgium. This gave me the opportunity to photograph the HLE27 locs in the snow, which was still one of the goals I wanted to complete. Luckily, I was able to photograph some of the cleanest 27's of the fleet, as they provided the traction for an IC-service towards Essen:
Heading as Intercity E2010 from Charleroi-Sud to Essen, the NMBS 2760 is about to arrive at its final destination with its nine M6 double decker coaches with a ten minute delay. On the backside, the 2760 is helped by the pushing 2704, of which I also took a picture as soon as the train headed back to Charleroi: to be continued!

Cleanest Ship in LA.
This RoRo ship made quite the statement while being unloaded at WWS. While this angled view didn't quite do enough justice for it, thanks to all the interior lights. It's big lettering not only indicated ownership but detailing that the ship is a pure car truck carrier. The design logos on the side showed off not only it's liquefied natural gas engine but also is shore power capabilities.
"Based on Shoe Goo,which is a product used in skating for many purposes, these kicks make good use of treated coated canvas and crinkled patent leather, with that beautiful clear gum midsole only accenting the great looks of these kicks. Undoubtedly, these are some of the cleanest Dunk Hi’s out of Nike Skateboarding in a while."

Not the sharpest as taken from a moving train near London Bridge through not the cleanest window. Used a polariser to cut reflections from the window. I've spotted this view from the train a couple of times now and was ready for it this time.
These are two of the beauties I released not long ago. They are still going strong in the yard and it is difficult to keep up with the demand for food; Even though I have a couple hundred milkweed plants outdoors for them to lay eggs on and 40 plants indoors (screened lanai). Once I collect the eggs or caterpillars from the yard I only feed them from the indoor plants to make sure they get the cleanest food possible, free from potential predators. Out of all of the varieties I raise they are the most ravenous and most predictable.

The Königssee is a lake located in the extreme southeast Berchtesgadener Land district of the German state of Bavaria, near the border with Austria. Large parts are comprised by the Berchtesgaden National Park.
The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven passenger ships, rowing and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909.
One of the cleanest alpine lakes in America, according to studies by the University of California. Castle Lake is located near Mt. Shasta, California, USA.

On a walk in Emsworthy Mire on Sunday, I spotted the cleanest sheep I've ever seen. Observing me from a distance with a malicious look on its face, it eventually lost its nerve in a staring contest.
Great horned owl and owlet
Not the cleanest of pictures, however, this is the first day that the owlet came out of the nest.

Lac d'Annecy, Haute-Savoie, France.
El Lac d'Annecy es un lago de Alta Saboya, al este de Francia. Es famoso por ser uno de los lagos más limpios del mundo. Además es el segundo lago más grande de Francia tras el lago del Bourget, exceptuando la parte francesa del lago Lemán.
El lago se formó hace 18 000 años, durante el deshielo de los grandes glaciares alpinos.
Es alimentado por varios ríos pequeños, nacidos en las montañas próximas (Ire, Eau morte, Laudon, Bornette y Biolon), y por una potente fuente submarina, el Boubioz, que nace a 82 m de profundidad. Está rodeado: al este por el macizo de los Bornes; al oeste, por el macizo de los Bauges; al norte, por la aglomeración de Annecy; y al sur, por un amplio valle.
El lago expulsa su exceso de agua al río Thiou y al canal del Vassé, que se unen y alimentan el río Fier, a 1500 m al norte de Annecy, que finalmente se une al río Ródano.
Es un lugar turístico muy atractivo, conocido por sus actividades náuticas.
The Lac d'Annecy is a lake in Haute-Savoie, in eastern France. It is famous for being one of the cleanest lakes in the world. It is also the second largest lake in France after Lake Bourget, except for the French part of Lake Geneva.
The lake was formed 18,000 years ago, during the melting of the great alpine glaciers.
It is fed by several small rivers, born in the nearby mountains (Ire, Eau morte, Laudon, Bornette and Biolon), and by a powerful underwater source, the Boubioz, which rises at a depth of 82 m. It is surrounded: to the east by the Bornes massif; to the west, by the massif of the Bauges; to the north, by the agglomeration of Annecy; and to the south, through a wide valley.
The lake expels its excess water into the Thiou river and the Vassé canal, which join and feed the Fier river, 1500 m north of Annecy, which eventually joins the Rhone river.
It is a very attractive tourist place, known for its nautical activities.
St. Bartholomew's Church, Berchtesgaden
Germany's Most Beautiful Alpine Lake
Lake Königssee lies just a couple of miles south of the town of Berchtesgaden and is Germany's deepest and cleanest lake.
St. Bartholomew's (German: St. Bartholomä) is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in the Berchtesgadener Land district of Bavaria in Germany. It is named after Saint Bartholomew the Apostle (Bartholomäus in German), patron of alpine farmers and dairymen. The church is located at the western shore of the Königssee lake, on the Hirschau peninsula. It can only be reached by ship or after a long hike across the surrounding mountains.
A first chapel at the lake was built in 1134 by the Provosts of Berchtesgaden. In 1697 it was rebuilt in a Baroque style with a floor plan modelled on Salzburg Cathedral, two onion domes and a red domed roof. The church features stucco work by the Salzburg artist Joseph Schmidt and a three-apse choir. The altars in the apses are consecrated to Saint Bartholomew, Saint Catherine, and Saint James respectively.
Near the chapel lies the old hunting lodge of the same name. The lodge, which was first erected in the 12th century with the church, has been rebuilt several times. Until 1803, it was a private residence of the Berchtesgaden Prince-provosts; after their territory had been incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810, the building became a favourite hunting lodge of the ruling House of Wittelsbach; today it is an inn.

Providence & Worcester GP38-2 #2009 sits on the Airline beside the yard “office” in Middletown, CT awaiting its next job. This engine is one of the cleanest in their fleet still wearing the classic Providence & Worcester Orange and Brown as it was one of the last engines to be Painted into the classic Providence & Worcester paint due to a fire before the take over. This photo was taken Mar 7th and 2009 has since gone back to Worcester for its 92 Day inspection, quick grab on my way to work as I was passing by and had been told the locomotive was there by a friend.

This was pretty fun and hard to paint, and it might not be the cleanest thing ever, but I'm happy with it, and so is Taylor, who I made this for.
Okjeongho Lake is an artificial lake created by constructing a dam on the Seomjin River, which is the cleanest among the four major rivers in Korea.
After the lake was created, a sea of clouds occurs almost all year round, making it a famous tourist destination for those who want to see it.
Two out of the three arches of Kalogeriko old (build in 1814) stone bridge in the picturesque village of Kipi in Epirus in northwest Greece, reflected on the crystal clear waters of Voidomatis river.
Kalogeriko (or Plakida) is one of the very rare old stone bridges with three arches in all Balkans.
The mountainous river of Voidomatis has been characterized as the “cleanest river” in Europe, as it does not face any environmental issues, flowing through one of the most beautiful and unspoiled natural locations of Greece in the Vikos–Aoos National Park.
The river is spanned by numerous very old and picturesque stone bridges, and is well known for water sports such as rafting, canoeing and kayaking.
