Winter heightens the drama at Death Valley National Park.
Certainly, this is known as the hottest place on earth, and contains the second lowest point in the western hemisphere, but most people are unaware that this is the largest national park in the lower 48 of the continental United States. The park also contains large portions of the Argus, Panamint and Amarcosa mountain ranges, with Telescope Peak reaching 11,049' in elevation.
The view from Zabriskie Point (named for a Vice-President of the Borax company, which mined here with their famous 20 mule-teams in the early twentieth century), captures the sandstone badlands of the Amarcosa in the foreground (including the Manly Beacon and Red Cathedral), Death Valley, and the Panamint Range as the backdrop.
On a chilly winter morning following an exceedingly rare rainfall, the skies are dramatic with the sun reaching through some of the cloud layers, but not others, to create drama and colors, not normally captured here.
Through the 1720's-1748, many garden designers worked at Stowe. Each experimented with styles for which they would later become famous, helping to make Stowe what you see today. Lord Cobham liked to work with the most fashionable forward thinkers of the time and intended to be a trendsetter for all who visited his estate to see his power. These included James Gibbs, William Kent and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to name a few.
When you think of the Netherlands, it is easy to picture never-ending fields of brightly coloured flowers. Many of the country’s most famous artists have portrayed the flower fields of the Netherlands in their work, and these fields are just as spectacular when they are seen in real life. However, these flower fields are more than just aesthetically beautiful: they are also economically important to the country. A significant proportion of the country’s agricultural exports are derived from the sale of freshly cut flowers, bulbs and mature plants, and the Netherlands contributions to the flower industry are so significant that they make up around two-thirds of the world’s total flora sales and completely dominate the European marketplace. Thanks to highly efficient supply chains, it is actually possible to buy flowers in New York which were freshly cut in the Netherlands that morning!
Harran is famous for its traditional "beehive" adobe houses, constructed entirely without wood. The design of these makes them cool inside, suiting the climatic needs of the region, and is thought to have been unchanged for at least 3,000 years. Some were still in use as dwellings until the 1980s. However, those remaining today are strictly tourist exhibits, while most of Harran's population lives in a newly built small village about 2 kilometres away from the main site.

The photo shows how these houses look from inside since they are now mostly used to attract tourists as cafes and souvenir shops.

Even the famous poet Heinrich Heine called the Ilse Valley in the Harz mountains one of the most beautiful hiking trails and memorialized it in the song "The Princess of Ilse" in the year 1827. Those who have allready seen it can easily understand that. In countless cascades the river Ilse is gurgling and rustling through an adorable beech forest. Its a magic place. where You can connect yourself perfectly with the spirit of nature.
Bereits der berühmte Dichter Heinrich Heine bezeichnete das Ilsetal im Harz als einen der schönsten Wanderwege und setze ihm mit dem Lied "Ich bin die Prinzessin Ilse" im Jahr 1827 ein bleibendes Denkmal. Wer es einmal selbst erlebt hat, der kann dies nachvollziehen. Über unzählige kleine und große Wasserfälle plätschert und rauscht die Ilse durch einen bezaubernden Buchenwald. Es ist ein magischer Ort wo Du eine intensive Verbindung mit der Natur aufnehmen kannst.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
Look at Brian go! He is cruising the famous NC500 route in the Highlands of northern Scotland in his pink Cadillac - with the top down of course!

Finding an undamaged Rose around here in December is a difficult task, but one I love to take on. I didn’t find a beauty this day but did find a Rose that is lovely in its own slightly tattered way.
Have a Very Merry Christmas !

How many of my Flickr Friends not living in the USA have ever heard of The Corner Bar and Grill? - 0
How many of those living in the USA have ever heard of The Corner Bar and Grill? - 0
How many of those living in Virginia have ever heard of The Corner Bar and Grill? - 0
This little restaurant is located in Lively, Virginia. According to the last census there are 54 permanent residents in Lively. If you notice the sign in the right window, it says, “World Famous Corner Bar and Grill.”
I can pretty much guarantee that of the 54 permanent residents in Lively there are probably at least 5 that have never heard of it! So, how did it get to be world famous? The food is good, but nothing that one would cross the pond for. Also, the banners state that is located in uptown Lively, Va. Lively is a crossroads of which this restaurant occupies one corner, the north. (So I guess technically it is in uptown Lively).
Now, don’t rush right out and buy your plane tickets. The crowds are not knocking the door down to get in. You have plenty of time.

Eastern Osprey
Pandion haliaetus
Well, famous to birdy nerds anyway! It is not that often you go searching for a famous sighted bird and find it on your first go.
I headed down to Werribee River, despite the ominous clouds and promise of rain to see what I could see. Parked in the car park and what did I spy? Surely not the Osprey sitting in an open branch in front of the car park eating its lunch. Happy Days.
It was very windy and we were still some distance away so not tack sharp and the head feathers abit blown out.
Still, a rare treat indeed.
My wishes is for all to stay save from the horrendous virus and remember to look after vulnerable neighbours.
This flagged stone path leads from Rosedale up toward the Disused Ironstone Railway track which traverses the head of the dale and round the the famous Chimney Bank. The track is in the final stages of being upgraded for easy access to all groups of people.

Reddish Egret (egretta rufescens) ~ Pinellas County, Florida
A small fish just moments before its demise courtesy of a reddish egret. Looking at the fish, there appears to be a final statement being made. Perhaps those words are, "I egret nothing!"

Just a quick post from our FFF+ FotoWalk today. These Lava Lamps were for sale at the South Melbourne Market for $AUD28. (£16, $US22). I haven't seen Lava Lamps since the seventies!
Die Rakotzbrücke im Kromlauer Park ist bekannt für ihre perfekte Spiegelung: Der steinerne Halbkreis der Brücke und sein Abbild im Wasser formen zusammen einen scheinbar geschlossenen Kreis – ein Sinnbild für Harmonie und Symmetrie.
Dieses Bild zeigt genau diesen Moment: Halb aus Stein, halb aus Spiegelung – und doch wirkt es wie ein einziges, vollkommenes Ganzes.
Natur und Architektur verschmelzen hier zu einer magischen Illusion.
-----------------------------------------
The Rakotz Bridge in Kromlau Park is famous for its perfect reflection: The stone semicircle of the bridge and its mirrored image in the water form what appears to be a complete circle – a symbol of harmony and symmetry.
This photograph captures that very moment: Half made of stone, half made of reflection – yet it appears as one seamless whole.
Nature and architecture merge into a magical illusion.

The Yellow-faced Grassquit breeds from central Mexico to northern Ecuador and northwestern Venezuela. It was formerly alled with the American sparrows; actually, however, it is one of the tholospizan "finches" which are specialized tanagers (Thraupidae). As such, it is closely related to the famous Darwin's finches. It is a small bird, 10-10.7 cm long. (Wikipedia)
