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
The underground station HafenCity University is located 16.5 meters below ground level. The design follows a draft by the Raupach architectural office, the lighting planning office Pfarré Lighting Design and the industrial designers Stauss & Pedrazzini from Munich, who won the previous design competition.
The walls and ceilings are clad with dark brown, smooth metal panels. The station is illuminated by 12 light containers, each weighing six tons, which hang lengthwise from the ceiling. They consist of a steel framework clad in frosted glass, inside which 280 coloured LEDs provide different lighting moods that can be adjusted to the time of day or season or the weather and are reflected by the wall metal plates.
The shape of the lighting containers and the wall and ceiling design are intended to be reminiscent of harbour elements.
On weekends and public holidays, light and music compositions are performed in the underground station on the hour between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The light containers change colour to match the classical music.
The underground station received the Radiance Award for Excellence in Lighting Design 2013 from the International Association of Lighting Designers.

Der U-Bahnhof HafenCity Universität befindet sich 16,5 m unter Geländeniveau. Die Gestaltung folgt einem Entwurf des Architekturbüros Raupach, dem Lichtplanungsbüro Pfarré Lighting Design und den Industriedesignern Stauss & Pedrazzini aus München, die den vorausgegangenen Gestaltungswettbewerb gewonnen hatten.
Die Wände und Decken sind mit dunkelbraunen, glatten Metallplatten verkleidet. Die Station wird von 12 je sechs Tonnen schweren Leuchtcontainern erhellt, die in Längsrichtung von der Decke hängen. Sie bestehen aus einem Stahlgerüst, das mit Milchglas verkleidet ist und in dessen Inneren 280 farbige LEDs für verschiedene Lichtstimmungen sorgen, die der Tages- oder Jahreszeit oder dem Wetter angepasst werden können und von den Wandmetallplatten reflektiert werden.
Die Form der Leuchtcontainer und die Wand- und Deckengestaltung sollen an Hafenelemente erinnern.
An Wochenenden und Feiertagen werden zwischen 10 und 18 Uhr jeweils zur vollen Stunde Licht- und Musikkompositionen im U-Bahnhof aufgeführt. Passend zu klassischer Musik wechseln die Leuchtcontainer ihre Farbe.
Der U-Bahnhof erhielt den Radiance Award for Excellence in Lighting Design 2013 der International Association of Lighting Designers.

Located in Hillman State Park, the area was part of the largest Pittsburgh coal seam surface strip mine in Pennsylvania and operated from the late 1920's until the early 1960's. Extensive surface reclamation work was done by the mine owner above that required by the then current laws. The 3600 acre property was gifted to the state in 1969 for outdoor recreational use.
located at Crosby Beach in Merseyside, England. Another Place consists of 100 cast iron figures facing towards the sea. Another Place was first exhibited on the beach of Cuxhaven, Germany, in 1997 followed by Stavanger in Norway and De Panne in Belgium. It was the subject of much controversy in Merseyside, although many people considered the figures to be beautiful pieces of art, and tourism in the local area increased.
The city center of Marseille is located more around the old Roman harbor and marina. The cathedral lies on the edge of the old town area near the sea and the port area.
—from Wikipedia
Marseille Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-Majeure de Marseille [katedʁal sɛ̃t maʁi maʒœʁ də maʁsɛj] or Cathédrale de La Major or simply La Major; Occitan: Catedrala Santa Maria Majora de Marselha) is a Roman Catholic cathedral and a national monument of France. Located in Marseille, it has been a basilica minor since 1896. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of Marseille (the Diocese of Marseille until its elevation in 1948).
Old Cathedral
Part of the earlier, much smaller, cathedral still remains, alongside the newer one. It was built in the 12th century in a simple Romanesque style. Two bays of the nave were demolished in the 1850s, when the new cathedral was built. What remains is the choir and one bay of the nave, and these remaining parts are commonly referred to as the "Vieille Major". The composer Charles Desmazures was organist at the old cathedral.
Present Cathedral
The "Nouvelle Major" was built on an enormous scale in the Byzantine and Roman Revival styles. The foundation stone was laid by Emperor Napoleon III in 1852, and the first service was held in 1893. It was completed in 1896, given the title of minor basilica, and consecrated in 1897. It was built on the site used for the cathedrals of Marseille since the 5th century, principally by the architects Léon Vaudoyer and Henri-Jacques Espérandieu (1829-1874). It is 142 m (469 ft) long, and the main cupola is 70 m (231 ft) high. With a capacity of 3,000 seats, it is one of the largest cathedrals in France, covering a total of 7,680 square metres. It has been a listed monument since 1906.
Lachung is a town and hill station in northeast Sikkim, India. It is located in the North Sikkim district near the border with Tibet. Lachung is at an elevation of about 9,600 feet (2,900 m) and at the confluence of the Lachen and Lachung Rivers, both tributaries of the River Teesta. The word Lachung means "small pass". The town is approximately 125 kilometres (78 mi) from the capital Gangtok.
The Indian Army has a forward base in the town. Before the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1950, Lachung was a trading post between Sikkim and Tibet, after which it was closed down. The town's economy has been boosted by tourism in recent years as the region has been opened up by the Indian government. Tourists come from all over the world to visit the town between October and May, mostly on their way to the Yumthang Valley and the Lachung Monastery. Most of Lachung's inhabitants are of Lepcha and Tibetan descent. Languages spoken here are Nepali, Lepcha and Bhutia. During winter the town is usually covered in snow. Lachung is also the base camp for Rhododendron Valley Trek which starts from Yumthang Valley and ends at Lachen Valley.
Lachung has been described as the "most picturesque village of Sikkim" by British explorer Joseph Dalton Hooker in his definitive, The Himalayan Journal (1855). Skiing is conducted in Phuni near this town.

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.
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.
Located in Richardson County, Nebraska. What's so strange about this house is that the sidings covered the bricks. That's something I haven't seen like that before. Have you? It's unique, I think.

Located on the western fringe of the Nullarbor Plain, (Western Australia) Fraser Range station was first settled in 1872. Fraser Range Station is a pastoral lease and sheep station.
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 just outsde of the Forbidden City it is more than worth to climb up the Coal Hill. You get a fantastic view from there over the Forbiden City.
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.

"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.
located west of the town of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. It was built in the years 1847-57 as a country house for Sir James Matheson who had bought the whole island a few years previously with his fortune from the Chinese Opium trade. It was designed by the Glasgow architect Charles Wilson.
In 1990, Archaeological Survey of India discovered a sunken apsidal stepped well along with few sculptures inside it. This stepped well is located immediately to the north of the Shore Temple, its south edge abutting the northern wall of the Shore Temple. On the extreme south of this newly discovered shrine is placed a monolith statue of Varaha (Boar)in its zoomorphic form. This image is carved in round from a single boulder. The statue was found severely damaged, however, with efforts from ASI restorers, we now see this image in its near original glory. The other element of this stepped well is a slender cylindrical shrine constructed partly in rock and partly in stone. Beyond this cylindrical shrine, further northward, is a circular cistern or mini-well. This is cut downwards with a circular rim-like stone placed at the ground level.
ASI report mentions that this well provides potable water though situated near the ocean. Though Rabe accepts these sockets for the capstones of a well, however, he suggests that these might be constructed to hold the ‘pillar of victory’ taken by Narasimhavarman I from Vatapi (Badami) which probably was installed here.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rabe2 tries to explain political reason behind the systematic destruction of this Varaha image. Rabe suggests that this Varaha monolith was severely and systematically butchered when the Chalukya king Vikramaditya I invaded the Pallava kingdom. The rationale behind this destruction was the submissive and prostrated attitude of the Varaha (Boar) Varaha was the dynastic crest of the Chalukyas. This specific posture of Varaha might be taken as a reference to the subjugation of the Chalukyas by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I. And to take revenge, the Chalukyan army destroyed this Varaha image while marching forward into the Pallava kingdom.
Inscriptions On the Varaha (boar) monolith –
The Varaha sculpture is carved out of the mother rock like the three other animal sculptures in the Five Rathas nearby. It has four birudas (titles) of Rajasimha Pallava, some of his favorites, inscribed upon the base, in Sanskrit in the Pallava Grantha script. The birudas on the side are “Sri RajasimhaH” “Sri RanajayaH” and “Sri BharaH”. The biruda on the rear, under the varaha’s tail, is “Sri Citra KaarmukaH”. Between the legs of the boar on both the and under its tail, leaves of acquatic plants are sculpted. These are similar to those at the base of the Varaha and Gajalakshmi panels in the Varaha Mandapam. These indicate that the boar which represents Vishnu, is diving under water, not merely digging.
However, how to explain the engraved titles of Rajasimha, as the Chalukyan attacked the Pallava kingdom before the reign of Rajasimha. To explain it, Rabe tells that it was most possible that like other monoliths, this Varaha was also executed during the period of Narasimhavarman I(630–668 AD). Therefore, when the Chalukyas attacked the Pallavas, during the reign of Narasimhavarman I and Parameshvaravarman I, this monolith was present in the temple complex. As the Varaha was destroyed before the reign of Rajasimha (695 to 722 AD), it was Rajasimha who restored it and that’s how we find his titles engraved on it. (Above description source Internet).
