I wanted you to see the size of this place. When I found out it was purchased by and designed by the developers out of Austin, Texas, I wasn't surprised. The place is huge and they tried to touch on everything. It's positioned so people can sit out on the farthest deck and watch the sunset. Of course, small bars are out positioned in different areas of the deck. And sure, live bands..;) Sooooo Austin. Don't get me wrong, it's a great setup. It doesn't fit the rest of the city or coastal area, but that's the way it goes. I wonder how the locals feel about it?
Last week we had some foggy days. There was a time i would have stayed at home, edting pictures instead of taking pictures. But whenever there are clouds, mist, or even rain, i will certainly go out now. Just getting out of bed early seems to be the hardest part :P
Thank you for watching, kind regards, Christophe.
... somehow these all got aligned there on my desk at work ... and had my camera around for a ... snap :)

We've reached the marker cairn, and a short rest. Ahead lies the steepest part of the climb which takes us up on to the summit plateau before we eventually reach An Socach. It will take us about 30 minutes so I'll see you up there!
After a few test runs and weeks of chiropractic care on my back, it's finally time to start the climbing season with a climb up An Socach. An Socach (pronounced An S-Oh-Ack) is my 17th Munro and stands at 944 meters (3097 feet), and although not the longest of climbs parts of it are very steep.
The same marker cairn we passed on the way up An Socach now offers a great view of Glen Baddock as we descend back down in glorious sunshine.

Since I'd done the 2 summits so quickly I'm heading back to the shores of Loch Vrotachan for some lunch. On the way back down from The Cairnwell I pass these marker cairns, with the first summit of the day, Carn Aosda clearly visible in the distance.
This trip sees me bagging 2 more Munro's. Carn Aosda, my 22nd Munro, stands at 917 meters (3008 feet), while The Cairnwell, my 23rd Munro, stands at 933 meters (3061 feet). They do both stand at the heart of the Glenshee Ski Development, so may be not a pretty or remote as some other Munro's.
I have been painting my rocks and so I put a few orange markers together.

When I captured this scene back in July, it was just the onset of yet another summer thunderstorm. One of countless similar images collected over the course of a seemingly endless stream of summer evenings. But they weren't endless. And looking back, this moment, like so many others, has forever escaped my grasp. I didn't post this photo in the moment because I figured there would be a better time, a better storm, better light, or maybe a better frame of mind for me to capture the scene. None of those conditions came to pass. And as it turns out, all of those better things existed only at the precise time I spent gazing across the meadow at this lone tree. I passed by this meadow the other day. The tree is still there. But nothing about the scene looks or feels the same as it did on that stormy July evening back when summer felt endless.
Statue commemorating the practise of 'Swan Upping', carried out annually in July when the mute swans on the Thames, up as far as Oxfordshire, are ringed and divided between The Crown, The Vintners' Company and The Dyers' Company. Before leg rings were common they were marked by nicks in their bills.
The foxgloves have now finished. This photo was overlooked in my file so these are now slightly out of season.
Partway up the path that leads to the summit of Mount is this marker Cairn. You can see where we've come from with Glen Tanar below but there's still plenty of climbing to do, so no time to dilly-dally!
Mount Keen is my 11th Munro and this is my second time of climbing it. It is the most easterly of all the Munros and stands at 939 Meters (3080 feet), forming an almost perfect cone. A 7 mile cycle up Glen Tanar gets us to the foot of the 2 mile ascent up the mountain.

I have set of these pretty sterling silver chakra stitch markers; really not a necessary purchase but it was one of those impulse buys when they caught my eye. I wasn't even looking for stitch markers at the time. However they have come in useful for my current knitting project which will end up with 562 stitches on the needles and needing a stitch marker every 17 stitches. I think I will be using every stitch marker that I own!
The image measures 2.25" in width

Thank you for watching,

While Hiking in San Diego County I came across this Small Triangular Pictograph, notice how The Sun cast shadow lines up with the pictograph. Believe it to be a Solstice Marker.
This shot was taken the night of the full moon down at Portarlington with the moon just peeping up on the horizon behind the green marker. The clouds were nothing like the night before and so I just concentrated on the markers instead.
De Marker Wadden is een nieuw aangelegd natuurgebied in het Markermeer. Het bestaat momenteel uit 5 nieuw gevormde eilanden waarvan alleen het grootste eiland voor bezoekers toegankelijk is. Het ontstaan van nieuwe planten- en dierengemeenschappen is in de loop van de tijd heel goed te volgen. Je kunt er alleen komen met een boot, bij mijn bezoek was dat een prachtige driemaster.
