We're back from Malta. The beauty of landscapes not leave us indifferent. Begin with the beautiful cliffs on the south coast of the island of Gozo. Here in Xlendi we arrived at sundown. A row of very impressive cliffs soaked with a golden light was simply irresistible.

"Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild -
With a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand."
(W.B. Yeats)
A wonderful view from Middle Fell - I was hoping for more drama in the clouds but not today. The fells around Wast Water are remote and less busy, all the better...
Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) is a Zen temple in northern Kyoto
Kinkakuji is an impressive structure built overlooking a large pond, and is the only building left of Yoshimitsu's former retirement complex. It has burned down numerous times throughout its history including twice during the Onin War, a civil war that destroyed much of Kyoto; and once again more recently in 1950 when it was set on fire by a fanatic monk. The present structure was rebuilt in 1955.
Kinkakuji was built to echo the extravagant Kitayama culture that developed in the wealthy aristocratic circles of Kyoto during Yoshimitsu's times. Each floor represents a different style of architecture.
The first floor is built in the Shinden style used for palace buildings during the Heian Period, and with its natural wood pillars and white plaster walls contrasts yet complements the gilded upper stories of the pavilion. Statues of the Shaka Buddha (historical Buddha) and Yoshimitsu are stored in the first floor. Although it is not possible to enter the pavilion, the statues can be viewed from across the pond if you look closely, as the front windows of the first floor are usually kept open.
The second floor is built in the Bukke style used in samurai residences, and has its exterior completely covered in gold leaf. Inside is a seated Kannon Bodhisattva surrounded by statues of the Four Heavenly Kings; however, the statues are not shown to the public. Finally, the third and uppermost floor is built in the style of a Chinese Zen Hall, is gilded inside and out, and is capped with a golden phoenix.

So get down on your knees, give me a reason I should stay."
A sunrise lights the Mountains on the flanks of the "Norwegian Inside Passage" as we sailed back South towards Bergen.
There is beauty everywhere around you as you sail on this magical sheltered route through the Western Fjords avoiding the more turbulent Norwegian Sea.
Our journey North and South produced many great photo opportunities as we went in Search of The Northern Lights. Only to find they actually came back home with us this week!
simply happily free

It's interesting how we always tried to put nature in a cage... and now, with these disturbing times we all get to experience first-hand confinement and restrictions.
Quite funny, right?
Looking back it's sad... not long ago we used to travel carefree... maybe we were even living in a golden age of tourism and travel.
Looking forward it's still sad... In the end a cage is still a cage, no matter how golden it is...
You don't have to be afraid
You don't even have to be brave
Living in a gilded cage...
The only risk is that you'll go
Go, Go

Deep Dream Generator. I put in a nice photo of a wooden stair case going up. I put in the prompt - gilded stairs. It turned my stairs into this. I don't like it, way to much gold.

Pretty impressive? I’m impressed at least, that is an awful lot of thorns to be standing on without getting poked. This little beauty made its appearance while we were searching for Gilded Flicker. It’s nice to when a bird like this Pyrrhuloxia just comes in and lands in such a perfect location when you aren’t even looking for them!

Notre-Dame's high altar from the backside. When, after the fire of April 15th 2019, the firemen finally could enter the cathedral, they saw the altar untouched and the gilded cross shining through ashes and smoke.

I was out shooting birds and I saw some nice lighting on a dead fern. The SOOC image was pretty blah, but with some significant sliding, the image is now golden. HSS!
Second in my tribute series: Gustav Klimt and his Golden Age.
Austrian artist Gustav Klimt is one of the most celebrated Symbolist artists. During his successful career, he cultivated a portfolio comprising academic paintings, life drawings, and even decorative art objects. Still, he is most well-known for the collection of glistening, gilded works he produced during his Golden Phase.
