Inle Lake lies at an elevation of 884 m (2,900 ft.) 425 km (264 mi.) north of Yangon in Shan State, Myanmar. Covering an area of some 116 sq. km (44.8 sq. mi.), its depth ranges from 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) during the dry season (November to April) to 3.7 m (12 ft.) during the rainy season (May to October). The lake was included in the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves in 2015. In 2018, it was designated a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance.
The Aung Mingalar Pagoda is located in Ywama village on the western side of the lake near its southern end. A market rotates on a five-day cycle to various villages on the lake, including Ywama, where it is held at the Aung Mingalar Pagoda complex and the adjacent canal.

At the Plaça de Toros Monumental de Barcelona, the now disused historic downtown bullfighting ring, lies a very modest museum whose objective is to keep the spirit of this now banned (in Catalonia, at least) sport alive.
We were the first customers to show up this morning, and the custodian opened the exhibits for us and even gave us a private tour, explaining us everything in Catalan. Let's say we got the jist of his message - he's a 3rd (or so) generation torreador who knows nothing but bullfighting and the business around it. He was intensely prooud of his heritage and that came through loud & clear despite our linguistic differences.
I haven't been able to Flickr much or take many photos lately, other than the ones for work (existing towers and vacant land/woods for new-build sites, whcih is boring). I was out walking some sites with our A&E firm on a foggy morning a while back and shot this 240 footer with my work camera (my old point & shoot). Hopefully I'll be able to visit everyone's streams in the next few days.... Until then, hope you are enjoying your Easter weekend!

Gallatin National Forest, Montana. White lies all around me. Knee deep on the ground, drifted, crusted, sparkling cold. Wind blown and stuccoed to the needles and branches of every fir tree from here to the valley so far below. White lies in shades of itself. From the grays of shadows all the way to the silver on the forest, spread before me like an audience, and in degrees to the mirror-flash white of reflected sun. I could pretend I worked my way up to this spot by persistence and hard labor on snow shoes or skis. Truth is, I have come by snow sled up the twisting trails, stopping where the opportunity strikes me to fire up my camera. I could also lie a little and say what a fine time this is. But the facts are, it's cold this early in the morning, and my fingers get clumsy fast. Even a slight wind cuts into every exposed skin surface. I curse strongly as I handle cold metal on camera and tripod, and the time it takes to set up a vertical format panorama shot. And wipe my continually fogging glasses to see. But it's a labor of love I guess. Love has all kinds of lies, I've found. Lying to yourself that you're accomplishing something. Lying to yourself that you have to suffer a little to get something meaningful. Little white lies to pretend something is perfect when it's not. Harmless. Until they're not, until they're dark secrets and painful cuts. Like everything, I look back and forget the truth. That it was cold and frustrating. I made it look better in photoshop...in retrospect so to say. A lot of white lies in front of the lens...I'll leave the rest to the professionals.

Tournai is one of the oldest cities in Belgium and has played an important role in the country's cultural history. It was the first capital of the Frankish Empire, with Clovis I being born here.
Tournai lies 89 km (55 mi) by road southwest of the centre of Brussels on the river Scheldt. Administratively, the town and municipality is part of the Province of Hainaut, in the Wallonia region of southwest Belgium. The municipality has an area of 213.75 km2 (82.53 sq mi).
Tournai is considered to be one of the most important cultural sites in Belgium. The mixed Romanesque- and Gothic-style Cathedral of Our Lady and the city's Belfry, considered the oldest in Belgium, have been designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. Inside the cathedral, the Châsse de Notre-Dame flamande, a beautifully ornate 12th-century reliquary, gives witness to Tournai's wealth in the Middle Ages.
Other places of interest are the 13th-century Scheldt bridge (Pont des Trous) and the main square (Grand-Place), as well as several old city gates, historic warehouses, and a variety of museums. As in many Belgian cities, there are a number of cafés and pubs on the Grand-Place. In the middle of the square, there are a series of water fountains, while a circular staircase to the top of the Belfry can be climbed.
On the Rue Barre-St-Brice are two of the oldest private houses in Europe, dating from between 1175 and 1200 and built in the Romanesque style, while the Rue des Jésuites includes a Gothic house from the 13th century. There are also several buildings in the Art Nouveau style across the city.
Some of the great Flemish Primitives are from Tournai: Robert Campin, Rogier van der Weyden, and Jacques Daret.
I love getting pictures of wolves lying down. I have no idea why but I simply do :)

Yala National Park is the most visited and second largest national park in Sri Lanka. The park consists of five blocks, two of which are now open to the public, and also adjoining parks. The blocks have individual names such as, Ruhuna National Park (block 1) and Kumana National Park or 'Yala East' for the adjoining area. It is situated in the southeast region of the country, and lies in Southern Province and Uva Province. The park covers 979 square kilometres (378 sq mi) and is located about 300 kilometres (190 mi) from Colombo. Yala was designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1900, and, along with Wilpattu was one of the first two national parks in Sri Lanka, having been designated in 1938. The park is best known for its variety of wild animals. It is important for the conservation of Sri Lankan elephants, Sri Lankan leopards and aquatic birds.

Valparaiso - 2015
I know I've dreamed you, a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living, after we die
Just beginning to bud. I had bought bulbs that claimed to be bleeding hearts, but after planting them, they turned out to be these. Must have been a labeling mistake. Either way, they grew into mammoths.
I've finally made my way through all the pictures I took this Spring. I didn't do so much for this Summer. However, I will be flying out to Jackson Hole this Saturday and will be spending the week in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. (Super excited) So, I'll probably be putting up the few Summer pics I have once we return and then hopefully be posting a lot of awesome shots from the trip.

[ Inscription in Hebrew ]
"In sacred memory of the six million Jewish heroes and martyrs who perished at the hands of the Nazis."
The 20th Century is the century of abject horror. Evil committed on an industrial scale. Political ideology, rather than religious wars precipitated it, whether it be the millions slaughtered under Stalin or Mao, or the singularly shocking genocide of European Jews by the Nazis. You can understand why I hate politics so much. Humanity deserves better and whenever political views divide us this is a cancer eating away at our souls.
The memorial we see here in the Melbourne General Cemetery is dedicated to the six million Jewish people who perished between 1941 and 1945 in what is now called The Holocaust or Shoah. Literally, a "holocaust" is a sacrificial offering completely burned upon an altar. There is no need here to retell exactly how these victims of Shoah died, but it is also true their bodies were consumed in ovens specifically made for the task.
It is all too easy today to dismiss this as madness and evil. Hitler and his cronies were monsters. But the fact is that they were also human beings. The root of that evil lies within the heart of every person. Until we recognise that fact, history will repeat itself. The shadow side of the human soul is an abyss that cannot be plumbed. Only a willingness to live humbly before God and seek forgiveness for our own misdeeds towards our fellow human beings can redeem us from falling into actions that break the sacred cord that ties us all together.
This moving memorial, stands as a witness and a signal warning to every one of us.
There's another Hebrew inscription here too:
"Here are buried bones, ashes & soap
Made from the human remains of our martyred brethren slain in Europe by the Nazis
May their memory live forever
1939 - 1945"

The Anomaly hides in the vastness of deep space
The vastness of deep space hides the Anomaly. It is akin to "finding a needle in an impossibly vast, cosmic haystack" due to its elusive nature and location. The Anomaly, an enigma of immense proportions, is concealed within the unfathomable depths of deep space. Its elusive nature and precise location render it comparable to "finding a needle in an impossibly vast, cosmic haystack." This metaphorical comparison highlights the extreme difficulty, if not the near impossibility, of pinpointing its whereabouts amidst the vast expanse of the cosmos. Pirates, military personnel, and explorers have long grappled with the challenge of deciphering and penetrating this profound mystery, which continues to defy conventional understanding and observation. The very existence of the Anomaly challenges current astrophysical models, suggesting the presence of phenomena or structures that lie far beyond our current comprehension. Its hidden state implies either an intrinsic property of its being, a defence mechanism, or perhaps a natural consequence of its unique composition and interactions with the fabric of spacetime. The desire to enter the Anomaly remains a driving force for interstellar exploration, which promises revelations that could fundamentally alter humanity's perception of the universe.

Eens een foto die afwijkt van de 'gewone' compositie.
(NMBS HLE 2822 + containertrein, Lier, 21/11/2014)
A lucky shot with my GoPro taken at the right moment when the camera was half in and half out of the water... and yes, that is a small fish in the bottom left of the frame.
