The rock formation "Twelve Apostles" in morning light. Australia is still closed for most tourists. So, all we have left are "postcards" like this one.
"Die zwölf Apostel" strahlen in der Morgensonne. Australien ist immer noch für die meisten Touristen geschlossen. Also, bleiben uns nur "Postkarten" wie diese.
Beer crates form the table's support structure. Fellow at bottom left looks interesting.
The top right corner is strange, I think it may have been a double exposure or some developing accident. I actually photoshopped out some weird dark streak that made no sense. How do you say "bon appetite" in Spanish??

The first sunbeams in the morning are reaching the rocks and peak, the clouds are clearing up.
The grassland region to the northeast of Tro La pass-4864m (or Cho La Pass) is known as Yilhun.Here two rivers,the Tro(Cho)-chu and Dzenu-chu drain from the Trola Range to form the Yi-chu,a fast-flowing tributary of the Nyag chu ཉག་ཆུ་ (Yalong). Here I visited the sacred glacial lake of Yilhun Lha Tso-4110m,situated some 30km below the Tro La pass. This lake is one of the most beautiful in all Tibet བོད. Its shores bedecked with colossal carved mani stones, many of which are the work of a local stone carver named Trador. The mountains and rocks surrounding the lake are said to assume the divine form of the Cakrasamvara mandala to those who have the pure vision to perceive them as such.
_______________________________________________________________________________ Yilhun Lhatso Nature Reserve (190 sq km), extending from the lakeshore as far as the jagged snow peaks of the Trola range to the south, is a natural habitat for176 species of wild animals, including the red deer (cervus albirostris), the snow-leopard, the argali, the red fox and various birds of prey. the flora of the reserve include distinctive azaleas, dragon spruce(Picea asperata),cypresses and the snow lotus སྤྱང་དུག་པ changdukpa (Sasssurea laniceps ) .
The Nomads of these upper valleys supplement their income by collecting caterpillar fungus for Chinese medicinal consumption.
La forme de la colline sur laquelle se dresse la forteresse évoque la silhouette d'une biche (Yumbu en tibétain), d'où le nom donné à l'é-difice de "Palais de la Biche".
The theme this week is 'Flora in Monotone'
~~~ Thank you all for viewing, kind comments, favs and awards - much appreciated! ~~~
This QM was the size of a Comma - but had the diagnostic question mark on its wings below. Black is their summer form - and they have that beautiful lavender trim.

El proyecto Metropol Parasol es una estructura en forma de pérgola de madera y hormigón ubicada en la céntrica plaza de la Encarnación de la ciudad de Sevilla. Cuenta con unas dimensiones de 150 metros de largo, 70 metros de ancho y una altura aproximada de 26 metros. Su base alberga un mercado tradicional y locales de restauración en la planta baja, una plaza de espectáculos y el museo arqueológico Antiquarium. La estructura se corona con una terraza y un mirador que ofrece una vista panorámica del casco antiguo de la ciudad.
La obra, compuesta principalmente de madera laminada, está formada por una gran retícula en forma de parasol sostenida sobre seis pilares que abarcan tanto la plaza de la Encarnación como la Plaza Mayor de la ciudad. Cada una de sus costillas componen una distribución espacial donde cada nervadura ofrece una curvatura propia, lo cual aporta al conjunto una sensación de movimiento ondulatorio. Aunque su diseño está inspirado en las bóvedas de la Catedral de Sevilla, por su perfil fungiforme, pronto recibió por parte de los ciudadanos el nombre de ‘Las Setas’.
El proyecto fue el ganador del concurso abierto por el Ayuntamiento de Sevilla para llevar a cabo la rehabilitación de la plaza en la que se ubica. Su diseñador fue el arquitecto berlinés Jürgen Mayer. Por su diseño vanguardista y funciones turísticas, se ha convertido en un icono del centro histórico y de la ciudad de Sevilla. En enero de 2013, el espacio Metropol Parasol fue elegido, entre los 335 proyectos candidatos, como uno de cinco proyectos finalistas del Premio de Arquitectura Contemporánea Mies van der Rohe que conceden bianualmente la Unión Europea y la fundación Fundación Mies van der Rohe.
Las obras comenzaron el 26 de junio de 2005. Las múltiples dificultades que surgieron sobre las obras produjeron controversias y retrasos que triplicaron el coste previsto de la obra hasta llegar a los 100 millones de euros. Finalmente, el Metropol Parasol fue inaugurado el 27 de marzo de 2011 y desde entonces se ha consolidado como uno de los principales atractivos turísticos de la ciudad, llegando a alcanzar el millón de visitantes en su primer año.
An image I’ve been pondering over for a while. It was nearly the first photo to post on my return from the Lakes early November but for some reason I didn’t and moved on to other images, now with 4 seascapes in row it was time to move inland.
The resort is all decked out in holiday regalia. A wonderful time for a visit to this beautiful spot in British Columbia, Canada.

The Himalayas, or Himalaya, form a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalayan range has many of the Earth's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8000m peaks. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia – Aconcagua, in the Andes – is 6,961 metres (22,838 ft) tall.
The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Himalayas are distinct from the other great ranges of central Asia, although sometimes the term Himalaya is loosely used to include the Karakoram and some of the other ranges. The Himalayas – inhabited by 52.7 million people – are spread across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Pakistan, with the first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to roughly 600 million people. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of the Indian subcontinent; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan mountain range runs, west-northwest to east-southeast, in an arc 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) long.
I think of the brown tint images here as fighting forms. More detailed descrption to come. Below is a basic meaning of the title series.
Tenkō (転向, literally, changing direction) is a Japanese term referring to the coerced ideological conversions of Japanese socialists and communists who, between 1925 and 1945, were induced to renounce leftist ideologies and enthusiastically embrace the Emperor-centric, capitalist, and imperialist ideology favored by the state. Tenkō was typically performed under duress, most often in police custody, and was a condition for release (although surveillance and harassment would often continue thereafter). But it was also a broader phenomenon, a kind of cultural reorientation in the face of national crisis, that did not always involve direct repression
