Kinderdijk - The Mills
English
Kinderdijk (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌkɪndərˈdɛi̯k]) is a village in the municipality of Molenlanden, in the province of South Holland, Netherlands. It is located about 15 km (9 miles) east of Rotterdam.
Kinderdijk is situated in the Alblasserwaard polder at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best-known Dutch tourist sites. They have been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997.

Located near Bovec, in north-western Slovenia, this spectacular waterfall cascades over moss-covered rocks into a cold, emerald-green pool of water. It is fed by the Glijun Stream, which receives its water from the Kaning Mountains. A tempting swim in the floods becomes a challenge, because the water is ice cold. Since this place is visited by many tourists, especially in summer, it is advisable to be there early for a photo.
Unfortunately, due to the prevailing severe drought, the water volume of the waterfall was small.
In der Nähe von Bovec, in Nord-West-Slowenien, befindet sich dieser spektakuläre Wasserfall, der über moosbewachsene Felsen in ein kaltes, smaragdgrünes Wasserbecken stürzt. Er wird gespeist von dem Bach Glijun, der sein Wasser aus dem Kaning-Gebirges erhält. Ein verlockend erscheinendes Bad in den Fluten wird zur Herausforderung, denn das ist Wasser eiskalt. Da dieser Ort insbesondere im Sommer von vielen Touristen besucht wird, empfiehlt es sich für ein Foto früh vor Ort zu sein.
Aufgrund der allgegenwärtigen großen Trockenheit war die Wassermenge des Wasserfalls leider gering.

One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.

Located off the main trailhead that serves the better known Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte is a Sedona Red Rock destination in itself. According to local legend, nearby Cathedral Rock was supposed to be called Courthouse Butte, and Courthouse Butte was supposed to be called Church Rock, because of its close proximity to Bell Rock and its church bell symmetry. However a mapmaker in the 1800’s mislabeled the formations and the names became part of history

Located within Lassen Volcanic National Park at 8,714 feet of altitude is Reading Peak which actually is small plug dome volcano located about 2.5 miles from Mount Lassen in Shasta County in California. Mount Lassen for whom the national park was named last erupted in the early Twentieth Century. My sweet damsel and I camped within this amazing national park several years back which sadly suffered damage from the Dixie wildland fire that ravaged the lake Almanor area. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @nationalparkservice @lassennps @visitcalifornia
Located on the banks of the Calonne (a small watercourse), the church of Fontaine-la-Louvet, of Romanesque origin (not visible in the picture), was rebuilt in the 15th century in stone and flint. From the Romanesque period, only the apse remains. To the north are two chapels from the first half of the 16th century, with stone and flint chequerboard walls (but this is the south side). The large bays also date from the 16th century. The rectangular windows were drilled in the 17th century. The entrance gate, placed to the west, is sheltered by a half-timbered porch from the 16th century. Many villages of Eure have horrible red street lanterns. They destroy every photo. That's why I desaturated them.

Portal Falls is located at Mt Whitney the highest peak in the Sierra Nevada range as well as the contiguous United states at 14,505 feet. Whitney portal Road that takes adventures up the mountain dead ends at a campground, picnic area, two waterfalls, and trails that traverse Mt. Whitney. The area is a beautiful place and was exceptionally cooler than the temperatures at lower elevations, we are experiencing triple digit weather right now. Wish I could have stayed there instead of heading for home.

Located in Manistee county, on the west end of the north pier. The light was replaced in 1873, when the new structure was augmented with a combination fog signal and light tower at the end of the wooden north pier. To make access to the light safer during stormy weather, this new light was outfitted with an elevated wooden catwalk running from the shore to the light.

Located within City Farm, a rural agricultural area in the middle of Brisbane's 'burbs, this homemade rustic oven, with an ethnic feel, really caught my eye. I had the area virtually to myself to take photos while the farm volunteers were eating lunch, although I think the pizza oven remained unused.
Kindly click on image for 'a closer look', thanks.

Øvre torv is located east of Kristiansand cathedral in Rådhusgata's axis. Kirkegata delimits the Upper Square to the Lower Square in the southwest and Kristiansand Town Hall faces the square in the northeast. In the south-east, the square is bounded by a number of buildings that house municipal offices, including the former fire station and the former city center building of the Friends of the Fatherland. Northwest of the square is Wergelandsparken. The term "town hall square" characterizes Øvre torv. The upper turf is covered with old cobblestones that came to light when the asphalt was removed.
This small church,located just south of Oakville,IA.,lost its purpose and its soul many years ago.In the spring it is nearly totally buried by foliage,only in the winter does its plight become apparent.Many years ago,the farmer who owns the land put a set of barn doors in the rear of the empty church for machinery storage.It was used for that purpose until the floor caved in-an old wagon still sets inside with its back axles buried beneath the church floor.I'm not making any judgements here,but I think the almighty might not take too kindly to see one of his houses used this way. Nonetheless,this is one of the most photogenic abandonments an explorer will ever come across-no matter how sad it may seem....
Have a great weekend and sliders sunday all!
"Located on an important harvesting, gathering and processing site for the Coast Salish peoples, as well as the site of a century-old logging mill camp, echoes of the past add a rich sense of history to this spectacular foreshore park with ocean and mountain views."
It seems each time we travel to Vancouver, we end up in this park. It has a great deal to offer those who walk its trails and for this photographer, plenty of challenging opportunities.

Ottawa County, Michigan. Located at the end of James Street north of Holland. Access is only 66 feet wide. If you didn't know this was here, you would likely not find it.
Moerputten Bridge is located in the area between 's-Hertogenbosch and Vlijmen. Before World War II this was regularly flooded by the overflows in the Meuse dykes. An overflow (overlaat) is a stretch of dyke that is intentionally left lower than other sections. At exceptional or seasonal high water levels, it overflows and relieves the pressure on other dykes, thereby preventing these from breaking.
East of Vlijmen, water would enter the area from the seasonal river Beerse Maas, which was caused by the Beerse Overlaat near Grave (see map). It led to water entering the area from north, and sometimes from south of 's-Hertogenbosch. The second overflow that regularly flooded the area was the Bokhoven Overflow, even though it could also be used as an exit for the Beerse Maas. In January 1880 water from the Bokhoven Overflow entered the area with such force that the big bridge before the Vughterpoort (Vught gate) south of 's-Hertogenbosch was flushed away.
