The Highway of Legends in Colorado is a scenic and historic byway that spans 82 miles through the San Isabel National Forest. It is a National Scenic Byway, National Forest Scenic Byway, and Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway. The byway showcases the unique geological features of south-central Colorado, including the Spanish Peaks, remnants of a 20-million-year-old volcano. It also features the famous Devils’ Stairsteps and Profile Rock.
In this scene the Aspens are in full color as we descend from 11,000 ft down the back side of the Spanish Peaks towards Cuchara ski area.
If you ever get the chance to visit Liverpool (and I hope you do) you will soon notice the all consuming obsession with the Beatles wherever you go in the city. If anything time has only added to the legend that surrounds this extraordinary band of four musicians that literally changed the face of music in the early 60s and continued to innovate until their breakup 10 years later. Cheeky, funny, and ultra talented the Beatles reigned supreme in the pop music world for all of that time.
These larger than life bronze statues celebrating the fab four are by sculptor Andy Edwards and sit in the area on the River Mersey referred to as Pier Head, very close to the fabulous Royal Liver building. It's such a popular attraction that it's actually quite difficult to get a shot like this because there are hordes of tourists surrounding the artwork from dawn till dusk, all of them waiting their turn to nestle in amongst the statues for their own 'Beatles moment'. And who can blame them!
Saddened by the news of Steve Jobs. I've used his products practically every day since 1990. They've changed my life and shaped the industry I work in.
I live by this quote of his...
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
(Steve Jobs - June 2005)

Two legends, one shot.
At that time there was a royal tradition of kings hunting animals for sport. Once, the Iberian king Vakhtang I Gorgasali decided to go hunting with his falcon in the area surrounding today’s Tbilisi. While the king was looking for prey, he suddenly saw a pheasant. Acting quickly, he shot and wounded the bird. However, when he sent his falcon to retrieve the pheasant it didn’t return. After a long search the king and his army of hunters discovered some natural hot springs and found both birds boiled to death! King Vakhtang was surprised, but incredibly pleased, with the discovery of the natural hot springs as nobody had known about them before. So, he decided to build a city on this site. The location also had many other advantages. It was located between high mountains and was easy to protect from enemies. This, according to the legend, is how Tbilisi was founded

There is a legend related to Háifoss waterfall. It goes like this: "An ogress lived in Háifoss (which used to be called Fossárfoss before it got its name in 1912). She lived on trout, which she caught in the waterfall. Once a teenage boy travelling with other travellers threw a rock into the river. That night the ogress went to the tent, where the travellers were sleeping, and tried to pull the teenage boy by his legs out of the tent. But his mates pulled him in the other direction by the upper part of his body. After a lot of tussle the ogress let the boy go and went away, but the boy was bedridden for a whole month from this maltreatment". (Translated from the Folklore of Jón Árnason).
Haifoss waterfall, situated near the volcano Hekla in the south of Iceland. The river Fossá, a tributary of Þjórsá, drops here from a height of 122 m. This is the second highest waterfall of the island.
they finally got him to jump. good thing too, because they’re raising the bridge this year and i think patrick’s jumping days are over almost before they began. maybe everyone’s jumping days are over.
I know that technically this probably isn't up to scratch, but it does somehow capture what this place feels like. The loneliness of hills, forested bogland.
Legend - Moeraki. 🇳🇿
Whether you subscribe to the Māori legend that sees these as ancient ‘eel baskets’, washed ashore after the sinking of the Arai-te-uru canoe, or the more recent scientific explanations of rock formation – I’m yet to find a single person who doesn’t find the Moeraki Boulders simply fascinating when they’re revealed by the ocean.
Embedded within the beach and surrounding cliffs on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island, these 6-8ft wide natural sculptures are still forming, moving and eroding – presenting a landscape that shifts with time as well as the ebb and flow of the Pacific waves.
Catch the tide at the wrong time, and you’ll struggle to see any of them. Catch an approaching wave on this incredibly shallow beach, and you’ll find both you and your camera soaked to the core. Click the button at the right time, however, and you’re rewarded with one of the most serene views in the natural world.

The Christmas connection to poinsettias comes from a Mexican legend which tells of a poor girl who dreams of bringing a beautiful gift to favour the Virgin Mary for a Christmas Eve service, yet has nothing worthy.
On the way to Church, she meets an angel who tells her to pick some weeds. She kneels by the roadside and, despite her protests that they are far from desirable, gathers a handful of common weeds and makes her way to a small chapel where she places her offering on the altar.
The moment she does, they burst into blooms of brilliant red poinsettias and her sorrow turns to joy. The Mexicans renamed it Flor de Nochebuena (Christmas Eve Flower).
Poinsettias are native to Mexico, where the Aztecs used them in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries both for medicinal purposes and for making dye.
Poinsettias are 'short day plants', meaning they flower when there are less than 12 hours' daylight, to ensure the minimum of competitors of pollinating insects.
