Some light breaks thru the cloud cover to illuminate a portion of Banff's iconic Castle Mountain.
"The mountain was named in 1858 by James Hector for its castle-like appearance. From 1946 to 1979 it was known as Mount Eisenhower in honour of the World War II general Dwight D. Eisenhower. Public pressure caused its original name to be restored, but a pinnacle on the southeastern side of the mountain was named Eisenhower Tower (at front here)." Wiki
Thanks for taking a look!
This beautiful modern church near Leknes has been inspired by the traditional Viking style stave kerkes honouring thus the heritage of these cultures.
This image is dedicated to my steadfast friend, Nadia Toski (ShakyGirl) who honoured me with a testimonial, and lots lots of comments and insights. Thank you!
I used to see his brilliant work at a higher rank, if not the highest, in explore. He was really good at photography and he maintained a very good taste.
I had interactions with many of his work, to which he was very appreciative and uniquely reciprocative.
About three months ago, I noticed that he’s not around! I checked on his page and knew that he wasn’t feeling well. So, I dropped a note on the last work he posted, wished him a quick recovery and told him that I look forward to see him back soon on Flickr.
Yesterday, I saw that post by John B. with the sad news!
I personally feel that Keith is a great loss to many, including Flickr community, and from here, I’m dedicating this post to extend my sincere condolences to his family, friends and everyone in his circle. RIP, my friend!
Ships to Shore 2017 - Steveston
One of the world’s largest tall ships, the Kaiwo Maru made a special guest appearance to Garry Point Park in Steveston, BC in honour of Canada's 150th anniversary.
Built in 1989, this majestic tall ship sailing from Japan is 361 feet in length and has over 29,000 square feet in sails.
Also known as the 'King of the Sea'.
Kaiwo Maru is a Japanese four-masted training barque tall ship.
She was built in 1989 to replace a 1930 ship of the same name.
The Ships to Shore celebration attracted thousands upon thousands of people, anxious to catch what possibly could be a once in a lifetime glimpse of this magnificent sailing ship.
In the background there were nautical displays, carnival activities, food concessions, fireworks and much more...
As night fell, a live band drew and captivated a large audience of people.....truthfully, none of that seemed to distract myself nor many other dedicated photographers..
I know I couldn't 'steer clear' (so to speak) from this extraordinary ship's side, nor could I afford wasting one precious moment of what night fall was offering.
The dimming sky provided ongoing colour and light photog opportunities that enhanced the magic of this fine lady and her scenic surroundings.
A sight to 'sea'

Thank you beautiful Lori, I am so grateful and touched by this honour.❤️️❤️️ Please visit this amazing group here:
Apparently it was Laura's birthday when I had such a great morning on the beach, so this is a belated Happy Birthday to
Laura. She's been such a great friend and inspiration, so In your honour , by Foo Fighters is obvious.
It's very hard to beat a night with broken cloud and a setting sun, reflections everywhere and a warm gentle breeze, doesn't get much better. In your honour is a favourite track by the Foo Fighters.
I know you want me
Every day, not only when you're lonely, yeah
You see, you think you know me
But you don't even know nothing about me, yeah
You see my thick thighs
Lost when you look into my brown eyes
See, my little waist can make you switch sides
You never know the devil in the disguise
So why don't you stand up, baby, and
Tell me, tell me, tell me do you want me on top?
So let me show you, show you, show you, I don't need to back it up
Don't wanna hold ya, mold ya, scold ya
Split you in half with my heart
I just wanna love on you, trust in you, honour you
Please do the same on your part
A Swan, a lovely one.
I may be a bit random in the next couple of weeks and probably won't be around much.
Sorry to my lovely contacts and friends.
!! Y'all commented before I added my description !! ;-p
Gilbert's honeyeater (Melithreptus chloropsis), used to be called the Swan River honeyeater;
so named now honouring John Gilbert's pioneering work as a collector and naturalist in Western Australia.
A driveway south of Okotoks creates some interesting forms as branches reach for the blue polarized sky. The late afternoon light was touching the tops of the branches, brightening their color and drawing additional attention.

I thought that such a magnificent forest could be honoured with a fine white frame.
The Monument to the Kalnik Partisans is a socialist-era war memorial located in Ludbreški Ivanec, Croatia, near the Kalnik mountain range, which was a centre of Partisan resistance. It commemorates the Partisans who fought in the Kalnik region during World War II against Axis forces and their collaborators
It is one of many spomeniks, or socialist-era monuments, erected throughout the former Yugoslavia to honour fallen partisans and victims of fascism. Like many monuments of its kind, the Kalnik Partisans monument has been subjected to neglect or vandalism since the breakup of Yugoslavia.
During the socialist era of Yugoslavia, thousands of these anti-fascist memorials were built to commemorate battles and victims of WWII. They were often financed by local municipalities and organizations of former Partisan fighters. Today, these striking monuments are often viewed as relics of a bygone era, with many falling into disrepair
To my great surprise and honour, I was recently invited by one of the Online Photography Curators for Tallenge, the Online Talent Platform, to participate in their current Macro Photography Contest! It's something I've never done before and am very excited about it :))
I don't have very high hopes of winning since the competition is incredible, but it would be nice to make a decent appearance... The voting process is very simple and fast and I would really appreciate any support from any of my friends who may have the time and/or interest to offer it. Just click on All Entries, find one of my photos, click on it and follow the steps!
Thank you all so very much in advance :)))

Fairy Grove, Brillant (176,59,22)
This fantastic pair of earrings was brought back from Australia for me by a dear friend who toured over there back in the nineties.
They are Aboriginal, and painted in the traditional manner. Each dot is carefully and beautifully placed. I suspect each dot, bar and colour means something. I like to think that they carry ancestral joy. I have always felt a sense of contentment when I wear them.

This morning's amazing light show honouring the victims and heroes of 9/11. Watching the Aurora Borealis never gets old for me. I can't help but say "WOW!!" everytime I see the northern sky pulsing with waves of light. This latest one was at a storm level of 6.67 Kp and lasted for a couple of hours into dawn.

...Archibald Fountain, Hyde Park, Sydney
Zero Image 45, NoColorStudio No5, Xtol(1.2)
Remembering the association forged in the Great War between Australia & France the fountain was also built to honour peace. For sculptor Francios Sicard this theme motivated his design with Apollo giving life to all nature with outstretched arm. Beneath him Diana is bringing harmony to the world, Pan watches over the fields and pastures and lastly, Theseus conquers the Minotaur, symbolic of sacrifice for the common good.
