Richland Balsam Overlook - Highest Point on the Blue Ridge Parkway Motorway - Elevation 6,053 ft. above sea level.
This is one of my favorite overlooks. Every season of the year is a fascinating one and none more so than late summer/early fall. The Monarch Butterflies regularly frequent this overlook along with Caney Fork Overlook. It blooms with SOMETHING from early spring through frost. At the moment it is showing a TON of Green-Headed Coneflower and the Joe Pie Weed has come out in profusion this last week. I was delighted to see the New England Aster beginning to open because that seems to be what the Monarch REALLY love as they migrate south to Mexico for the winter.
We were extremely surprised to find Monarchs today . . . at least four of them (probably more but I saw four together at the same time) because it's early. Don't know what that portends for the future, but they were a delight to behold!!!

NH-21 in the Himalaya Mountains of Jammu and Kashmir state in northern India is the "Highest Motorable Road In The World" crossing 5 mountain passes over 5000 meters / 15,000 feet. The 475 km spectacular mountain road journey runs between the Tibetan City of Leh and the Indian resort town of Manali. The highest pass is over 16,000 feet elevation and altitude sickness can be a problem. The landscape is mostly desolate with a few road house restaurant and fuel stops operated by Tibetans. A truly amazing journey through one of the world's "no man's lands"!

This is the first time I take a picture of Cagliari from the plane...it's a bit strange considering that I admired this view so many times during the years spent "abroad". And the most curioous thing of all is that my feeling in front of this view, this time that I was coming from Strasbourg, has been so different from all other times...Simply, I didn't feel the same emotion when landing again in Sardinia. That's a pity, and I really can't say why.

I've always found it easier to draw and paint on a small scale
At the highest point of the village of Evoramonte rises the Tower/Palace of Evoramonte commonly considered as the “ex-libris” of the village. The Tower/ Palace of Evoramonte was built by the Dukes of Bragança D. Teodósio and D. Jaime as a symbol of its power reflected in the tie of Manueline reminiscences that is the symbolic mark of the heraldry of the House of Bragança.
Its design is attributed to Arrudas Architects, famous for the design of the well-known Torre de Belém, in Lisbon, in Italian style and is a unique example throughout the Iberian Peninsula.
Visible many miles away, the Tower/Palace of Evoramonte is a regular quadrangle with four angularly arranged towers and has three floors externally marked by a continuous rounded cord. The interior has 3 rooms supported by 4 columns each and connected by a spiral staircase that also allows access to the terrace which enjoys a spectacular 360º view on the Alentejo landscape.

The Highest Apple (Runrig)
At present
All you were is with me
My eyes closed, my memory confident
Standing here watching
Each hill and shoreline
With the seed you left
Still growing
The garden is well stocked
With mighty trees
With fruit growing for the whole world
Ripe, sweet
And bitter apples
And the one apple
That is beyond reach
The winds will blow
And the sun will shine
From generation to generation
Through the trees of the garden
But the day and the hour
Will surely come
To take the highest apple
From the knowledge tree
Who amongst us
Can exist a single day
Beyond our own time and our own limits
Countless and futile
Are times I've climbed
To reach and taste
The forbidden fruit
The winds will blow
And the sun will shine
From generation to generation
Through the trees of the garden
But the day and the hour
Will surely come
To take the highest apple
From the knowledge tree
