There 's nothing like cool temperatures and fresh air to raise the spirits. during my forays to the Alabama Hills the temperature can get up into the 100's and when they do, this is where I seek refuge. At around 9000 ft in elevation the difference in temperature is about 15 degrees and there nothing better the a fine mist that floats away from the falls right onto your weary soul.

The difference between a "Burg" and a "Schloss" (castle) is that a Burg is more like a fortress, built for protection from the enemies, and a Schloss was for the nobility to reside in, and very lavishly decorated.
Over time, some of the Burgs were also turned into castles.
Burg Eltz is somewhat unusual, in that it's been in the same family that had it built over 850 years ago, and Count and Countess Eltz still live there today.

Gluggafoss aka Merkjafoss in the South of Iceland and close to Eyjafjallajoekull. It comes thundering down through a cleft onto a large rockpool and then continues after another small fall as river Merkja which meanders through the nearby meadows. At difference to the large and well-known waterfalls which all featured rows of rental cars queuing up, these smaller falls often offer solitude and precious moments, whether you are into photography or not.

Kinderdijk lies in the Alblasserwaard, at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. In Alblasserwaard, problems with water became more and more apparent in the 13th century. Large canals, called "weteringen", were dug to get rid of the excess water in the polders. However, the drained soil started setting, while the level of the river rose due to the river's sand deposits. Most of the current mills were built in 1738 and 1740 (see below).
After a few centuries, an additional way to keep the polders dry was required. It was decided to build a series of windmills, with a limited capacity to bridge water level differences, but just able to pump water into a reservoir at an intermediate level between the soil in the polder and the river; the reservoir could be let out into the river through locks whenever the river level was low enough; the river level has both seasonal and tidal variations. Although some of the windmills are still used, the main water works are provided by two diesel pumping stations near one of the entrances of the windmills site.
”When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires, will come to you ”. 👱♀️🎧🎶 When You Wish Upon a Star ( from the movie Pinocchio, Cliff Edwards ). The image shows part of an icy candle lantern. When we have a really hard frost I make these lanterns as garden decorations in the winter. I freeze also flowers like tulips inside the lantern, as it is here.
I cani amano gli amici e mordono i nemici, a differenza degli esseri umani, che sono incapaci di amore puro e confondono l’amore con l’odio nelle loro relazioni.

Dogs love friends and bite enemies, a difference of humans, who are incapable of pure love and confuse love with hatred in their relationships.

The terraces were dug following the natural curves of the landscape. The thickness of the walls stores heat during the day and diffuses it at night. Thanks to this method it has been possible to obtain a different microclimate as one goes down and gets closer to the centre. An average temperature difference of 5°C was observed, whereas the difference is only 0.5°C over comparable height differences at the same location. Due to its sheltered position, each of the terraces represents approximately one thousand metres of altitude under normal growing conditions.
What a difference a year can make.
This morning Facebook asked if I wanted to share a memory from one year ago. The photo was of a Reddish egret taken in January of 2022 at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, Florida.
A year ago, at this time Sanibel was swamped with both tourists and resident and seasonal birds, an estimated 247 different species. If you looked for it, you could find evidence of past hurricanes and tropical storms that had visited, mainly in the live oaks, but you had to look closely. Then 28 September of 2022 arrived with Hurricane Ian, a direct hit by a category four hurricane.
I sat and staired at the photo for quite some time, wondering if this beautiful creature survived. Wildlife doesn’t have many options when nature is at its worst. In the case of birds, they have two basic options. Some use the winds of the initial bands to propel them out of harms way. Others ride it out, taking shelter where they can.
While researching what wildlife does in hurricanes, a sad scenario was presented. It is well documented that birds often become trapped in the eye of hurricanes, taking flight possibly thinking it is over, then flying in a panic unable to escape the storms walls.
Here is an unreleased archive shot of the beautiful creature I was blessed to photograph, as I hope and pray it is well.

It seems at first glance that the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle are sitting on the headland of Cullernose Point. Not so! They are in fact a further 3km distant.
Very different visibility from the vista the day before looking towards Dunstanburgh from a much closer spot on the other (north) side of Cullernose Point!
One of the four baby fox... I could not tell any difference among them. Backlit at sunset, photo was taken handhold...

Three years ago we visited Menindee and the area was a dust bowl. No water in the lakes at all. So it was a no brainer that we visit the area again to see the place in flood ........ what a difference!

Some of you may have noticed that the last few shots I've uploaded were all captured on the same day.
That was our summer holiday....
We spent a week up north - 6/7ths of which were blessed with horizontal rain but we were lucky enough to get one freakishly good day which we made the most of, but by late afternoon, the next front of low pressure was upon us.
Even my B&W shot of the boat at Inverasdale had to be cleaned up to remove a few rain spots from the filter.
Someone once said that the only difference between a Scottish summer and a Scottish winter is that the rain is warmer.
This view, with obligatory bonnie purple heather in the foreground, is taken looking out across Loch Ewe with Aultbea and Mellon Charles on the right.
I'm still amazed at how blue the sky and water is. No polarizer used, just a medium grey grad for balance and a bit of cloud structure.
Our last day and last shot of summer.
Summertime blues....there ain't no cure.
Many thanks as always for your welcome views and comments.

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Im Spätherbst fuhr ich bereits schon einmal diesen Weg durch Thüringen. Es war damals ein trüber Morgen. Heute war ich kurz vor dem Sonnenuntergang unterwegs...
Überwältigt vom Unterschied, den lediglich ein paar Sonnenstrahlen und ein imposanter Himmel machen können, muss ich euch hier noch mal beide Bilder zeigen!
I say it makes no difference. . . . . . .
'cause we all live a lifetime.
You took your's, I took mine.
You can devour it, or let it drag across unforeseeable decades.
Seize the moment.
Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light.

We want to reach out to those kids that are having a hard time..., we encourage them to talk to someone, a teacher, counselor, principle, anyone.

We must reach out our hand in friendship and dignity to both those who would befriend us and those who would be our enemy.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
It is time to look after our planet before it is too late please use your brain and your heart. Many in Australia are suffering also in Siberia, Amazon, and California, we must act now and be responsible!! These fires are killing people, animals and land it is a dire situation, we cannot just sit and do nothing!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Piz Bernina and the Morteratsch Glacier (romansh: Vadret da Morteratsch). Switzerland. No. 8271a..
"The Morteratsch Glacier (romansh: Vadret da Morteratsch) is the largest glacier by area in the Bernina Range of the Bündner Alps in Switzerland.
It is, just after the Pasterze Glacier and Gepatschferner, the third largest and by volume (1.2 km3) the most massive glacier in the eastern alps. The Morteratsch Glacier is a typical valley glacier with a pronounced ice front. The accumulation zone lies between the peaks of Piz Morteratsch, Piz Bernina, Crast' Agüzza, Piz Argient, Piz Zupò and Bellavista. From Piz Argient to the ice front in the Val Morteratsch, its horizontal extent is about ~7 km (4.3 mi), with an altitude difference of up to 2,000 m (6,600 ft). Together with the Pers Glacier, originating at Piz Palü, which joins the Morteratsch just below the rock formation Isla Persa ("Lost Isle"), it covers an area of about 16 km2 (6.2 sq mi). The volume of the ice is estimated to be about 1.2 km3. The Morteratsch Glacier drains through Inn River and Danube into the Black Sea.
In spring, depending on the snow conditions, a 10-km-long ski-run accessible to skilled skiers is marked on the glacier. It leads from the Diavolezza aerial tramway terminus to the Morteratsch inn and has an altitude difference of 1,100 m (3,600 ft). The RhB Station Morteratsch used to be situated directly at the ice front of the glacier. The ice front has receded over 1,800 m (5,900 ft) in the meantime, and cannot be seen from the station today.
Yearly length change measurements have been recorded since 1878. For the period to 1998, the overall retreat was over 1.8 km (1.1 mi) with a mean annual retreat rate of approximately 17.2 m (56 ft) per year. This long-term average has markedly increased in recent years, receding 30 m (98 ft) per year from 1999–2005. Substantial retreat was ongoing through 2006 as well.[1]
During the time that measurements have been taken, the glacier has advanced a few meters in only four years. Since the large glaciers react slowly to short-term climate changes, these advances cannot be accounted for by increased precipitation in the accumulation zone. On the high moraines to the left and right of the ice front, which are still nearly free of overgrowth, the enormous quantities of ice which were still being pushed down here at the end of the "Little Ice Age" in the middle of the 19th century can be seen.
Der Morteratschgletscher (rätoromanisch Glatscher dal Morteratsch oder Vadret da Morteratsch) ist ein Alpen-Gletscher in der Berninagruppe im Kanton Graubünden in der Schweiz. Zusammen mit dem Persgletscher ist er mit einem Volumen von rund 1,2 Kubikkilometern der volumenstärkste Gletscher der Ostalpen. Seit Beginn der systematischen Beobachtungen im Jahr 1878 hat der Gletscher 2,2 Kilometer an Länge eingebüsst, er ist heute noch rund 6,4 Kilometer lang und damit der drittlängste Gletscher der Ostalpen, nach Pasterze und Gepatschferner in den österreichischen Alpen.
Die beim Gletscherrückgang im Gletschervorfeld hinterlassenen Spuren gelten als typisch für die Alpen. Ein Gletscherlehrpfad erklärt an 20 Stationen Glaziologie, Geomorphologie und Vegetation. Entlang dieses Wanderweges stehen darüber hinaus Schilder zur Dokumentation des Gletscherrückgangs. Im Frühjahr führt eine Skiroute von der Diavolezza über den Gletscher.
Le glacier Morteratsch (en romanche : Vadret da Morteratsch) est le plus grand glacier de la chaîne de la Bernina. Il se situe dans le canton des Grisons en haute-Engadine.
Il a une longueur maximale de 7 km avec un dénivelé de 2 000 m et se termine au plus haut sur le Punta Perrucchetti à 4 020 m. Il couvre avec le glacier Pers environ 16 km2.
Entre 1878 et 1998, le glacier a reculé de 1,8 km avec une moyenne annuelle d'environ 17,2 mètres. Le recul s'est accéléré ces dernières années avec une moyenne de 30 mètres par an de 1999-2005.
À la confluence avec le glacier Pers, le glacier Morteratsch se comporte comme un barrage naturel bloquant les eaux de ruissellement et à l'origine d'un petit lac."

Now that the Jubilee four day holiday is over, things can get back to normal - not that the ponies would ever notice the difference
Satsuki (Rhododendron indicum) in the left is an evergreen flowering plant. Doudan Tsutsuji (Enkianthus perulatus) in the right is a deciduous flowering plant. Both belong to the Ericaceae family, are native to Japan, and popular ornamental plants for Japanese gardens.
Yasuda Garden is next door to the Sumou tournament hall. Both are located in Yokoami (横網) community of Sumida Ward (墨田区).
Each Sumou wrestler is given a rank title based on the past tournament record, and the highest rank title is called Yokozuna (横綱). Then, please try to spot the difference between ”横網" and "横綱". Even the Japanese would overlook the difference.
It is rumoured that the Japan Sumou Association seriously negotiated with Sumida Ward to modify "slightly" the community name to 横”綱” when the new hall opened in Yokoami in 1985, although it was not successful in the end. Official name of the current Sumou hall is Ryougoku Sumou Hall (両国国技館) after the name of a railway station nearby. The Sumou Association probably wanted to name it Yokozuna Sumou Hall.
