Kyburz Flat is a remote mountain meadow located at 6300 ft. above sea level in Tahoe National Forest. If you're looking for peace and quiet combined with a view, this is the place for you. I've been here on numerous occasions and rarely have seen another person. It's definitely a place to enjoy the sounds of silence, but only if the sound of the birds are included in your definition of silence.

My favorite fruit.
Flat peaches are flatter than fruit of more popular peach varieties. Their skin is yellow and red, and they are less fuzzy than many other peaches. The inside of the flat peach is white in appearance.
Flat peaches are usually sweeter than other peaches, but still have a recognizable peach taste. They are said to be more complex-tasting and flavorful, often described as possessing undertones of almond.
The flat peach originated in China, where it is known as pántáo (Chinese: èŸ æ¡ƒ; lit. 'coiled peach').
We have only one tree of this fantastic peach in our orchard, but I will plant another one in late autumn.

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)
A panoramic image of MV Flat Holm (IMO: 7626774) in dry dock. Built in 1975 by Modec in Tokyo Japan, the 24m tug is also a capable multipurpose utility vessel.
Another Light Trail shot from my last morning in NYC, this time of the Flat Iron Building, again using the Live Composite mode. This trip was the first time I had used this particular mode, despite having had the camera for over 18 months. It’s great for these types of shots as it takes the guess work out as you can see the image build up on the screen and just close the shutter when you’re satisfied 😀
I had hoped for a clearer sky in order to get some colour as the sun came up. Unfortunately it it was just leaden skies which then turned to rain, which was nice (not).

Flat White drifting up the Derwent River towards the finish line of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. After all the storms at the beginning of the race journey I wonder if this almost complete state of stillness is welcommed or considered a burdon. I was standing by the shoreline for a while and they were moving slowly in the right direction. I imagine they will probably finish late tonight.
Another shot of a Lace Monitor at our zoo, in this case the female. She had taken a bath in their little pond and then returned onto the rocks to get dry again.
Flat Holm is a small island some 6km off the south Wales coast. It has an interesting and diverse history that includes pilgrims and smugglers, a cholera isolation facility and military fortifications in the late 1800's and second world war.
The still operational lighthouse was completed in 1738 and a nearby foghorn was built in 1906. In the late 1800's, Flat Holm was used as an isolation sanitorium for arriving sailors who had cholera and a dedicated hospital was built. The hospital was closed in 1935, the derelict remains of which are the main subject in this image.
Flat Holm has just one permeant resident - a warden - but allows small numbers of volunteers and visitors during the summer months, who can enjoy the history, tranquility - and Wales' most southerly bar, The Gull and Leek!

Testing adjustments of the curve to avoid burned out highlights. Resulted in decreased contrast...
But good detail and pleasing tone with this "sepia-developer" :-)

The Flatiron Building at the south corner of Madison Square, where Broadway intersects 5th Avenue, is one of the best known skyscrapers of New York City and certainly belongs to the list of most photographed buildings in the world. Completed in 1902 it was designated a New York City landmark in 1966. Today, it is an office building, but there are plans to turn it into a luxury hotel.
In this scene I like the arrangement of the taxicabs, giving depth to the image. The dark-blue of the sky (thanks to Photoshop!) is intended to provide an agreeable contrast to the yellow of the cabs.
Population of 6.
Tortilla Flat is a small unincorporated community in far eastern Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. It is located in the central part of the state, northeast of Apache Junction. It is the last surviving stagecoach stop along the Apache Trail. According to the Gross Management Department of Arizona's main U.S. Post Office in Phoenix, Tortilla Flat is presumed to be Arizona's smallest official "community" having a U.S. Post Office and voter's precinct. The town has a population of 6. Tortilla Flat can be reached by vehicles on State Route 88, via Apache Junction.
Originally a camping ground for the prospectors who searched for gold in the Superstition Mountains in the mid-to-late 19th century, Tortilla Flat was later a freight camp for the construction of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. From this time (1904) on, Tortilla Flat has had a small (<100 people) but continuous population. A flood in 1942 badly damaged the town, resulting in many residents moving away. Today Tortilla Flat is owned and operated by Alvin Ross, a farmer from Indiana who purchased the town in 1998. The town is made up primarily of a small store and restaurant, which were constructed in the late 1980s after a fire consumed the existing store and restaurant on the same site. Several hiking trails into the Superstition Mountains begin near Tortilla Flat.
Australian National 'World' Alco 955 trundles into the yard at Port Flat (Port Adelaide) with an early morning transfer move of loaded grain hoppers from the Dry Creek yards on 14 December 1991. By the time this image was taken, the active members of the '930 class' was down to single digits and 955 only had another six months in service.
Between 1955-1967, 37 Alco DL500B units had been built in Australia by AE Goodwin, under licence, for the state government owned South Australian Railways. Ownership was transferred to the federally owned Australian National in 1978.

Eastern Gulf of Finland National Park. The National Park includes the outer archipelago of the easternmost coastal municipalities. The hundred islands and islets of the park are scattered onto a large open sea area, which is 60 km wide, and far from the mainland or the inhabited islands. Gulf of Finland National Park is included in the network of the most important protected areas in the Convention on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea Area. On the Russian side of the border, Gulf of Finland National Park is being planned, which will add to this complex.
