Located in downtown Jasper’s at the train station, Locomotive 6015 is one of 16 mountain-type engines built by the Canadian Locomotive Company of Kingston, Ontario in 1923 and used by Canadian National in fast freight and passenger service. It pulled the Canadian version of the Orient Express. This type of engine could move at 100 miles per hour, and It needed about 10,000 gallons of water and 17 tons of coal. The Locomotive 6015 stands today in downtown Jasper, Alberta Canada as the mark of a time long gone by but never forgotten.

Located south of Winchester Bay, OR, this area is home to the tallest sand dunes in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Umpqua Beach #2 Day Use and OHV Staging Area provides parking and access for pedestrian beach access as well as off-highway vehicle (OHV) staging for open sand riding opportunities in the Umpqua (ump - kwah) dunes. A ride to the top of a tall dune offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean.

 

We were over in the area to view the King Tides, which didn't appear this day. So we filled our time exploring the many back roads along the coast and beaches we had never seen before. The day was a bit windy and rain rolled through occasionally, but this just added to "charm" of the place. After a little research I found that Oregon choose to plant European Beach Grass because it could withstand the Oregon weather better.

The Lone Cypress Tree, located along the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Monterey and Carmel, is one of the most iconic landmarks on the California coast. This solitary cypress has withstood the test of time, weathering countless storms and braving the salty sea air for over 250 years.

 

The tree is believed to have sprouted sometime in the early 1770s, making it one of the oldest living things in the area. Its unique location on a rocky outcropping, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, has made it a popular subject for photographs, paintings, and even logos for the Pebble Beach Company.

 

The Lone Cypress Tree has become a symbol of resilience and perseverance, standing strong despite the challenges of its harsh environment. It has even survived attempts to remove it from its precarious perch. In the 1940s, the tree was propped up with cables to prevent it from falling into the ocean, and in the 1980s, a replacement tree was planted nearby in case the original finally succumbed to the elements.

 

But despite its fame and popularity, the Lone Cypress Tree is still a living thing that requires care and attention. In recent years, the tree has faced a number of health challenges, including the effects of climate change and invasive pests. The Pebble Beach Company has taken steps to protect and preserve the tree, including limiting public access to the area around it and implementing conservation measures.

IC 1396A is the Elephant's Trunk nebula, located in the constellation Cepheus. The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust within the much larger ionized gas region IC 1396, at an estimated distance of about 2,500 light years.

 

At the heart of the nebula lies the open star cluster Trumpler 37, where several hot, young stars (less than 100,000 years) are thought to be forming. These stars emit copious amounts of hot plasma winds and energetic particles that ionize the gas in the nebula and causing it to glow with the characteristic red light of hydrogen atoms. The winds are also sculpting the nebula creating the central cavity, but also compressing the gas in dense regions and triggering a new generation of protostars, hidden inside the dust.

At the estimated distance of the nebula, the Elephant's Trunk is about 20 light-years long.

 

Thanks to all for your continuous support and kind comments. I wish to all my Flickr friends a happy and relaxing summer and looking forward for your beautiful photos and stories!

Amber or Amer Fort is located in Amer (a town with an area of 4 km2), 11 kilometres from Jaipur, Rajasthan state, India. It is one of the principal tourist attractions in the Jaipur area, located high on a hill.Amer Fort was built by Raja Man Singh I. Amer Fort is known for its artistic style of Hindu elements. With its large ramparts, series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks the Maota Lake, at its forefront.

 

The aesthetic ambiance of this formidable fort is seen within its walls on a four level layout plan (each with a courtyard) in a well turned out opulent palace complex built with red sandstone and marble consisting of the Diwan-e-Aam or the "Hall of Public Audience", the Diwan-e-Khas or the "Hall of Private Audience", the Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace) or Jai Mandir, and the Sukh Niwas where a cool climate is artificially created by winds that blow over the water cascade within the palace. Hence, the Amer Fort is also popularly known as the Amer Palace.

 

The palace was lived in by the Rajput Maharajas and their families. At the entrance to the palace near the fort’s Ganesh Gate, there is also a temple dedicated to Sila Devi, a goddess of the Chaitanya cult which was given to Raja Man Singh when he had defeated the Raja of Jessore, Bengal in 1604. (Jessore is now in Bangladesh).

 

This fort, along with Jaigarh Fort, located immediately above on the Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles) of the same Aravalli range of hills, is considered as one complex, as the two are well connected by a subterranean passage. This passage was meant as an escape route in times of war for the royal family members and others in the Amer Fort to shift to the more redoubtable Jaigarh Fort.

 

Annual tourist visitation to the Amer Palace in Amer town was reported by the Superintendent of Department of Archaeology and Museums to the Amer Palace as 5000 visitors a day, and 1.4 million visitors were reported during 2007.

This is Pigeon Point Lighthouse located near Pescadero, California. I'm not sure why, but this seems to be one of my favorite lighthouses to photography. Perhaps it's because every time I come back here, I always have good luck in capturing it so beautifully. It is such a beautiful lighthouse....you can't go wrong! It stands proud, and rightfully so! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Located in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, this river has a particular beauty, its waters are not transparent, it has a brownish color, and I think that's why it is even more beautiful. This photo was taken from an iPhone X on a trip I took in 2018. For tourists (like me), it's very worthwhile to take the boat trip to navigate this river, and visit the islands and fishing village that are in the path. I found this house in the woods of a small island within this river interesting.

Achei interessante esta casa dentro da mata de uma pequena ilha dentro deste rio.

Noudar Natural Park is located in a farm estate called Herdade da Coitadinha, between the rivers Ardila and Múrtega, in southern Alentejo (Portugal) .

 

The pastures surrounding the area, holm oak and olive groves, grazing cows and herds of black pigs are all common to neighbouring farms in this region. But here, a more abrupt and rocky relief has protected dense enclaves of holm oaks and forest where light penetrates with difficulty.

In Noudar, life presents itself in a state of wilderness and absolute purity.

 

Apart from its beauty, the place, being remote and exempt from any light pollution, is excellent for astrophotography (the best where I’ve ever been).

 

The Castle of Noudar dates from the early 14th century (finished in 1307), when it took an important role for border defense against the kingdom of Castile (now part of Spain).

Located in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, in the Scottish Highlands, the A939 (also known as Lecht Road and Old Military Road) is possibly one of the best roads in the UK. The road includes really steep sections (up to 20%). This mountain road is 59.6 miles (95.9 km) long.

Located three blocks west of the Illinois State Capitol Building is the Sargent Office Building, home of the Illinois Municipal League (IML). The building is named for A. L. "Lon" Sargent, who served as executive director of the IML from 1943 to 1968, and his son, Steven Sargent, IML executive director from 1968 to 1989.

The bridge Gretsi is located below the village Palaiopyrgos at Pogoni area in Epirus. It bridges Gormos river at Gretsi place. It was a passage for the locals who used it to go to their fields and the mill.

It has three arches, acquired to the rocks. The big one bridges the cliff that is located directly underneath it and the water creates a waterfall!

I found myself in the area of Palaiopirgos in November without having it planned. It was in the evening and I had just a little time until dark. Arriving at Paleopirgos there was absolute wilderness. There was no one to ask for information and I was just standing out of the car waiting for the ‘deus ex machine’. And he did come in a farm truck. He informed me that the access was impossible for that time. Approaching it with my own car was difficult due to bad road and hiking was a dangerous case because of the sheepdogs of the area. I decided to leave and come back better prepared at the earliest opportunity. Eventually not only did I see the bridge but I also photographed it. A big thank you to Christos Mentis from Kefalovriso , Pogoni for taking the time to guide me to the bridge.

  

Στην περιοχή του Παλαιόπυργου βρέθηκα το Νοέμβριο χωρίς να το έχω προγραμματίσει.Απόγευμα και με λίγο σχετικά χρόνο μέχρι να σκοτεινιάσει. Φθάνοντας στον Παλαιόπυργο ερημιά απόλυτη. Κανείς για πληροφορίες κι εγω έξω απο το αυτοκίνητο να περιμένω τον απο μηχανής θεό.Ο απο μηχανής θεός εμφανίστηκε σε ένα αγροτικό .Με πληροφόρησε οτι η πρόσβαση ήταν ακατόρθωτη για εκείνη την ώρα . Η προσέγγιση με το δικό μου αυτοκίνητο δύσκολη λόγω κακού δρόμου και η περίπτωση πεζοπορίας επικίνδυνη λόγω των τσομπανόσκυλων της περιοχής.Αποφάσισα να επιστρέψω και να επανέλθω καλύτερα προετοιμασμένη σε πρώτη ευκαιρία. Τελικά οχι απλά είδα το γεφύρι αλλά και το φωτογράφισα. Ενα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ στο Χρήστο Μεντή απο το Κεφαλόβρυσο Πωγωνίου για το χρόνο που διέθεσε για να με οδηγήσει στο γεφύρι .

Scurdie Ness is a headland located on the South side of the River South Esk estuary, Montrose, Angus, Scotland. The River leads from the North Sea into Montrose Harbour and then into Montrose Basin. The headland has also been referred to as Scurdie Ness, Montrose point or Montroseness. The word Scurdie is a local word for the volcanic rock found there and Ness means a promontory, cape or headland. The coastline from Scurdie Ness to Rickle Craig has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

 

Scurdie Ness Lighthouse is located on the headland and has also been referred to as Montroseness Lighthouse. In 1867 the seafaring community of Ferryden made representations to the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses to have a light established on Montrose Point due to the numerous shipwrecks and great loss of life along that coast. There are 11 wrecks recorded around the mouth of the estuary.

The lighthouse was built by David Stevenson and Thomas Stevenson and at 6 pm on Tuesday 1 March 1870 the tower was lit for the first time. During World War II the lighthouse was temporarily painted black so that it could not be used by the German bombers as a daytime reference point. The light was not illuminated except when requested by the Royal Navy.

The lighthouse is a category B listed building of architectural/historic interest, Historical Scotland Building ID: 4958. Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland - Canmore ID: 36262

Originally the light characteristic was fixed white but in 1907 was changed to isophase white 60 seconds (i.e., light 30 seconds, eclipse 30 seconds). Scurdie Ness lighthouse was converted to automatic operation in 1987 and now displays 3 white flashes separated by 2.5 seconds and repeated every 20 seconds. The light is 182,000 candlepower and on a clear night can be seen for approximately 42 km.

The buildings within the grounds of the lighthouse are now privately owned. Cars are not allowed along the road leading from Ferryden to the lighthouse but it is a popular walk and sightings of seals and dolphins are not unusual. Whales are sometimes seen in the area including rare sightings of humpback whales.

 

Aperi is a mountain town located eight kilometers north of the capital, and dates back to the Middle Ages, which was a time of pirate attacks. Aperi is at a height of 350 meters, is built behind the mountains and is not visible from the sea. It is at the foot of Mount Hamali, on which are the ruins of a Venetian castle.

A stream of water flows under a stone bridge, and in the village there are many plane trees, cypresses, lemon trees, and abundant flowers.

Between 1700 and 1892, Aperi was the capital of the island. It is still the seat of the Archbishop of Karpathos and the nearby island of Kasos.

The population had declined in the hard years after World War II, leaving some homes in ruins. Now the trends are slightly increasing, and there are several mansions quite large and well maintained like the one in the photo.

The locals try to keep the local customs alive, as some of them are unique. "Gilles", a celebration dedicated to the newborns and the couples who got married in the village last year, and "Klidonas", an ancient custom and divination tool for girls who are looking for a man to get married.

Saigon is located just to the north of Mekong Delta. But the Saigon river, by which Saigon is located, is not a branch nor a tributary of the Mekong river.

This photo was taken on the riverside not far from the People's Committee Building. Modern high-rise buildings were mushrooming on the both sides of the river.

 

The bridge over the Saigon river is Cầu Ba Son or the Ba Son bridge. It was just completed in 2022.

 

Vietnam embarked on Đổi Mới, an economic reform programme, in 1986 with the goal of "socialist-oriented market economy." It consisted of privatisation, promotion of foreign direct investment, normalisation of diplomatic relations etc., which resulted in a rapid economic growth that still continues today.

 

Vietnam is expected to be a next factory of the world replacing the current role of China. It is noted, however, that Vietnam is still a one-party dictatorship, and the government still maintains a grip on the state-owned corporations like China does. It is not certain if the current government regime would survive in the future as the economic development is conducive to democratic reforms.

Located in Flakstad village, This small church was completed around 1780, built entirely of timber, painted bright red, like many other buildings in Lofoten. Windows, doors and roof lines are painted white on the outside, blue inside. Before the current building, there was an older church, built in the mid-15th century and destroyed by fire in the 1700s.

St Athernase Church is a Romanesque church located in Leuchars, Fife, Scotland. It is a Category A listed building and remains in use as a Church of Scotland parish church.

The chancel and half-round apse date from the 12th century with the exterior featuring blind arcades with typical Norman arches. The church was granted by Ness son of William, Lord of Leuchars, to the canons of St Andrews in 1185. Around 1700 a belfry was added, and in 1858 restoration was carried out to the nave.

 

The church is open to the public in summer, at other times by arrangement. Relics preserved inside include part of a 9th-century cross-slab found near the village (closely comparable to the large collection at St Andrews Cathedral), and three elaborate 16th century memorial stones of the Bruce's of Earlshall, the local lairds. One of the latter shows a full length figure of a woman, naïve in execution, but valuable in documenting contemporary dress.

 

The oft-mentioned dedication of the medieval church of Leuchars to St Athernase is actually an error. It arises from a nineteenth-century misreading of a list of church dedications in the Register of St Andrews Priory, a medieval manuscript now in the National Archives of Scotland. Folio 155v. has a list of churches dedicated, or re-dedicated, by bishop David de Bernham of St Andrews in the 1240s. The eighth church in this list is 'ecclesia sancti Johannis euangeliste et sancti Athernisci confessoris de Losceresch (the church of St John the evangelist and St Athernase the confessor). However the church of Losceresch is not the church of Leuchars, which in medieval sources is spelt Lochris, Locres etc., but the parish church of Lathrisk (now Kettle parish in Fife), whose early spellings are Losresc (1170s), Loseresch, Losseresc (1227) and such like. Athernase is the patron saint not of Leuchars but of Lathrisk.

The patron of Leuchars is not known for certain, but some medieval sources indicate a local cult of St Bonoc, a name unknown outside the parish of Leuchars, and a chapel of St Bonoc, complete with chaplain, is known to have existed.

"Athernase" may be an anglicised form of the name Itharnán, found also in Fife at Kilrenny, and on the Isle of May, an Irish missionary who "died among the Picts" in 669 according to the Annals of Ulster.
