Seen during another bike tour on a wonderful autumn day with perfect weather in Stuttgart, Bad Cannstatt (Steinhaldenfeld), Germany next to the river Neckar.
The golden tones of the foliage are really very lushly this year.

Aerial sunrise over the bay with boats and colourful clouds on the horizon at Koolewong Waterfront on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.
Flying home from Delhi via Frankfurt we flew over portions of Greenland. Was struck by how beautiful the landscapes were but also by how much glaciers were calving icebergs. Given its climate week where the COP is meeting to discuss progress on the Paris Climate Accord thought this picture was worth a post. Yes I recognize the fact that I was flying, emitting massive amounts of CO2, while making this observation!!!

Inside the old volcano. The last volcanoes died out about 4000 - 5000 years ago. How old is this one?

I'll be mostly away this weekend so I will take the opportunity to wish all my Canadian friends a very happy Canada Day!
Since I spend a lot of time on planes I always kick myself for not having my camera close at hand as there are always so many opportunities to make a great photo. Perfect example was the trip home from Salt Lake City where on approach to land at DIA we were in the most spectacular cloud sandwich. With only my phone I tried to capture this beautiful scene - not great but still beautiful! You can read more about my trip below where I gave a Stegner Center Green Bag Series Lecture - very fun!

The snow has already melted, so I go back to my photos from the Summer again :) We are still in Bosnia and Hercegovina and now we are going to the Kravica Waterfall. I took this photo just from the car :)
Śnieg już stopniał, więc wracam ponownie do zdjęć z wakacji. Wciąż jesteśmy w Bośni i Hercegowinie, teraz jedziemy do Wodospadów Kravica. Fotka pstryknięta w drodze, wprost z samochodu :)
On the west side of the village Vleuten is the ancient Ham-tower on an island in a canal. This seven-story donjon is the remnant of a water castle, knight-hof city of Ham. For the first time in a document from 1325 mentioned castle was initially built as a residential tower. It is suspected that it was built around 1260 which was strategically chosen for an inlet of the old Rhine river as it became more defensible. The castle was able to exercise the owner power of the surroundings. Several cases were Den Ham deployment of battle. In 1481 it was partially destroyed, then it was expanded to include a second tower. In 1536 the States of Utrecht recognized the castle as knight-hof city, the residents were then admitted to the Knighthood. In 1642 the gatehouse was rebuilt giving access to Den Ham. In 1857 the castle was owned by Willem Jan Royaards. One of the current owners is a descendant of him.
Around 1872 the castle wrong in dilapidated condition and was, at the western keep and part of the east wing after aborted. Between 1962 and 1975 the tower was restored. Today the tower is private property. The moated tower has five feet thick brick walls about 27 meters high. On top is applied include a bypass and the total height is approximately 35 meters. Inside, it has six floors and a basement with medieval girders are preserved.

As I said in my last post I always kick myself for not pulling my camera out when I am flying, well I finally remembered to do so and got some fun pics of the landscape from New York to Denver. Pictured here a lake reflecting the sun's light in a heavy agricultural landscape - I am guessing Iowa perhaps.

I used to play a lot with settings on my camera. This shot was taken from above a small garden...
J'avais l'habitude de jouer beaucoup avec les réglages de mon appareil photo. Cette photo a été prise du dessus d'un petit jardin ...
