The city of Nam Dinh wakes up to a stunning sunrise as seen through a gap in the Lying Dragon Mountains. The name "Lying Dragon," reflects its shape, which resembles a dragon lying in repose - a powerful symbol in Vietnamese culture representing strength, protection, and prosperity.
Queued up with a foggy lens at Taft Station. Although it's not seen in the picture, people are restrained by a rope to prevent us from just spilling over when the train arrives
Time for a girl to lie back and think of England..... So good to have my wedding dress draped all over the bed.
Near the village of Vrimë lies the staircase that leads to the temple of Akrep, the White goddess, also called goddess of the Sun and the Light. Legend says that the staircase was built by a single man, a fisherman who lived near the stream. Desperate with the disappearance of his son, he made a promise to the goddess that he would erect a temple, an orphanage, and a fountain of the legendary miraculous water that rose at the top of the mountain.
This fisherman was a very exaggerated man, and his son had only gone to the neighboring village to see a girl and returned a few days later. Even so, the man built the temple and the fountain and its garden, which today are visited by people who travel hundreds of miles just to see them, as well as the orphanage, which receives children from all over the region.
Decided to work on my photography, and this idea popped into my head based off the song I was listening too.
I now realize that this probably wasn't the best thing to post on Mother's Day. Sorry about that. don't mean to be insensitive in any way.
Slitt Wood is located just north of Westgate in Weardale, County Durham. It lies within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or AONB, which is the second-largest in England and Wales. In June 2003, the AONB became Britain’s first European Geopark, and the following April it became a founding member of the UNESCO-supported Global Geoparks Network.
Slitt Wood and the West Rigg Opencut nearby are designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest for their variety of habitats including woodland, lime-rich grassland, fen, open water and the revegetated workings of Slitt and Middlehope Mines. Among the most noticeable features is a series of waterfalls, where Middlehope Burn flows over step-like features in the rocks. The landscape is made up of repeated layers of limestone, sandstone and shale, known by geologists as cyclothems. These rocks wear away at different rates resulting in the step-like profile of many hillsides, and the waterfalls along the stream.

Resignation, not mystic, not detached, but resignation open- eyed, conscious, and informed by love, is the only one of our feelings for which it is impossible to become a sham.

Mill Gardens, Mill Street, Warwick, Warwickshire.
This garden lies in a magical setting on the banks of the River Avon, beneath the walls of Warwick Castle. Winding paths lead through a succession of rooms in an area of about half an acre. Much of this planting is cottage-style but there is also a woodland area with excellent established trees. Around every corner there are dramatic views of the Castle, the medieval bridge and the river. There is a relaxed feeling, partly because of the planting style but also because of the design – verdant lawns, the presence of water, and the absence of straight lines.
On one side are the river and the ruin of the mediaeval bridge, whose roadway once led across where there are now lawns and flowers. In a lucky year, swans nest in its shelter. On the other side, Caesar’s Tower looms overhead. The stone walls of Warwick Castle give one of the most dramatic backdrops for any garden.
The Mill Garden was created over a period of sixty years by the late Arthur Measures, a passionate plantsman, and a number of important trees and shrubs have been there from that time. It is now gardened by his daughter Julia and her husband David, who have built on that legacy and moved the garden on. Their approach is to seek out plants, old and new, which suit this unique situation. This confident approach uses all types of subject, including plenty of annuals. The planting is outstanding throughout the season.
