The Moyka River is a small river in Russia that encircles the central portion of Saint Petersburg, effectively making it an island. The river, originally known as Mya, derives its name from the Ingrian word for "slush" or "mire". It is 5 kilometres (3 mi) long and 40 metres (130 ft) wide.

The river flows from the Fontanka River near the Summer Garden past the Field of Mars, crosses Nevsky Avenue and the Kryukov Canal before entering the Neva River delta. It is also connected with the Neva by the Swan Canal and the Winter Canal.

In 1711 Peter the Great ordered the consolidation of the banks of the river. After the Kryukov Canal linked it with the Fontanka River four years later, the Moyka became so much clearer that its name was changed from Mya to Moyka, associated with the Russian verb "to wash".

Magnificent 18th-century edifices lining the Moyka quay include the Stroganov Palace, Razumovsky Palace, Yusupov Palace, New Holland Arch, Circular Market, St. Michael's Castle, and the last accommodation and museum of Alexander Pushkin.

This past week I visited a special place in Connecticut to check out the foliage and officially begin my Fall photography extravaganza!

This special place was once owned by a Naturalist writer and his wife. They connected with it on a deep level while exploring and cherishing it for many years. It's a truly beautiful place to visit... especially in the Fall :)

Any place any time ...

Legendär

Das "Marina Bay Sands" ist ein Meisterwerk der Baukunst, ein architektonisches Statement und ein ästhetischer Triumph und hat die Messlatte für Gebäude in Singapur höher gelegt.

Seit 2010 dominiert die atemberaubende Silhouette die komplette Bayfront und prägt die Skyline von Singapur.

Das Gebäude wurde von dem berühmten Architekten Moshe Safdie konzipiert. Mit seinen drei 194 Meter hoch aufragenden Türmen, die durch den "SkyPark" verbunden sind, zieht es Besucher in seinen Bann.

Legendary

The “Marina Bay Sands” is a masterpiece of architecture, an architectural statement and an aesthetic triumph and has raised the bar for buildings in Singapore.

Since 2010, its breathtaking silhouette has dominated the entire bayfront and shaped the Singapore skyline.

The building was designed by the famous architect Moshe Safdie. With its three 194-meter-high towers, which are connected by the “SkyPark”, it casts a spell over visitors.

Connection is the 9/4/17 topic for Macro Mondays, and this is my favorite connection: a fishing line connected to the eye of a bass lure. In this image, it's very thin braided nylon line connected to a Heddon Baby Lucky 13 lure, a lure that is roughly the length of my little finger.

I saw this kid in the park on another New Year's Day several years ago .... I was in my typical holiday blues funk ... but the moment I connected with him he gave up that smile and let me take his picture .... my mood was lifted in an instant ....

Hoping that the New Year brings less division and noise and nonsense in this world .... and wishing for each of my Facebook family only happiness and blessings and good stuff in the coming year ... and that all of your lives will be as bright and as beautiful and sweet and full of hope as what I see reflected in this kid's face … and that we all have an abundance of more sweet smiles and innocence in our lives ... 💛💜💛 …

It's amazing how important it is to be electronically connected in this modern world, and how isolated it makes you feel when you can't access that connection. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but for many it's a definite reality.

BTW...in the last week I discovered just how nice it is to have access to public libraries...and their computers!!

Also...if you aren't backing up your files and photos, START! I can recommend Mozy online backup service...I am in the process of downloading ALL of the photos that I thought I had lost!!!.......^+^
