Definitely my masterpiece so far.
I was driving to Husavìk, Iceland, and I stopped the car when I saw this amazing view. Due to the very low traffic, I was able to jump off the car and take this multi-exposure shot, later merged in HDR.
I still get emotional, 2 years later, when I look at this pic. I remember the amazing contrast of that moment:
the peace of this tiny farm and the violence of the wind and the ocean
The 2017 Streets Alive art project is Maple Masterpieces, an outdoor public exhibit that will celebrate 150 years of both Orillia and Canada.
Fifty beautiful Maple sculptures will be unveiled in downtown Orillia on June 17 and will remain on display all summer long on Mississaga Street and at the Port of Orillia.
Artists will let their imagination and creativity go wild as they work with the double-sided metal maple-shaped templates.
Created in the 14th century to preserve the preparatory drawings of the frescoes of the monumental cemetery, the Museo delle Sinopie is a magical and precious place, both because of the masterpieces that are kept there, and because of the place itself. The organization of the interior consists of a system of platforms connected to each other, with different heights, supported by metallic structures anchored to the ground and suspended by means of tie rods.

Local street artist, Florence, Italy. Several artists would appear here daily to reproduce famous paintings on the stone street with chaulk. At the end of day they would wash it all away with a broom and water.
Let me introduce the smallest and the most unpretentious bird in the backyard - red breasted nuthatch.
Claude Monets ( 1840 - 1926 ) water lilies pond ( Giverny - France ) is full of asymmetries and curves.
..........It was inspired by the Japanese gardens that Monet knew from the prints he collected avidly.
.....He drew his inspiration from here, and was always looking for mist and transparencies, dedicating himself less to flowers than to reflections in water, a kind of inverted world transfigured by the liquid element.
Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece as seem from the London Millennium Bridge which spans the Thames directly to the south of the cathedral's great dome.
Il nome Dafne significa "lauro", alloro, e costei fu il primo amore del dio Apollo.Si diceva che Dafne fosse figlia del dio fluviale Ladone e della Terra. Altri narratori le attribuivano per padre il dio fluviale Peneo, cui apparteneva la valle di Tempe in Tessaglia. Sacerdotessa di Gea, Dafne era una fanciulla selvaggia, simile a Artemide, che riesce non solo a conquistare il cuore di Apollo, ma anche quello di un giovane mortale di nome Leucippo, "quello dei cavalli bianchi". Leucippo si travestì da donna per potersi accostare a Dafne. Secondo alcune fonti le sacerdotesse decisero, forse per suggerimento di Apollo, di effettuare nude i loro riti, secondo altre fonti durante il bagno, tuttavia ciò portò allo smascheramento di Leucippo che morì ucciso dalle stesse fanciulle. Fu il momento in cui Apollo, approfittando della caduta del nemico in amore, si dichiarò a Dafne, ma fu respinto. Il dio si mise all'inseguimento della fanciulla che era corsa via spaventata, e stava quasi per raggiungerla quando Dafne, invocato l'aiuto di Gea o del padre, si trasformò in un albero di alloro. Da allora fu l'albero preferito di Apollo, che ne porta i rami come una corona.
