The devil offered to help the laird of Assynt build Ardveck castle in exchange for his soul. This was a step to far for the laird but he agreed instead that the devil could marry the daughter. So the castle was built and the wedding took place. However when the bride realised who her new husband was, she jumped from castle window into Loch Assynt below where she drowned. The castle is now haunted by her ghost weeping as she wanders the ruins.
Venice offers a multitude of interesting motifs so that you can lose yourself in them, that´s how the idea for this picture came about
The Pitt Wildlife Management Area offers the perfect set of trails for nature lovers and bird watchers as well as those looking for a nice easy walk along the dikes of Pitt Lake.
Starting from the Grant Narrows parking lot, walk east past the boat launch area to the metal gate and continue along the Pitt Lake Dike. A short distance after leaving the parking area, you approach a wooden viewing lookout. Climb the stairs to the top and take in the views of Pitt Lake and the marsh area as well as the nature living throughout the area.
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.
Stay healthy
Happy Clicks,

The glacier of Pleine morte offers wonderful views:
Over the Plaine Morte to the Wildstrubel, left the Niesen, right the Bietschhorn, below the Rhone Valley as far as Martigny and entire Valais high alps chain from Dom to Weisshorn, Matterhorn, Grand Combin and zum Mont Blanc, with the Wildhorn and Diablerets to the west.
IF THERE ARE NO CLOUDS.
In high alps, clouds come and go very quickly. Nevertheless, I hope, you enjoy this image.
If you enlarge the image, you will see another mountain station in the distance. It is the lower-lying 'Violette Express' in the heart of the Crans-Montana ski area.
________
Umgeben von 3- und 4-Tausendern, bietet das relativ flache Hochplateau des "Pleine Morte" Gletschers wunderbare Ausblicke über die gesamte Alpenkette bis zum Matterhorn und Mont Blanc. WENN keine Wolken hindurchziehen.
In den Alpen geht es sehr rasch, daß der Blick sich öffnet und wieder verdeckt wird. Wir hatten tatsächlich den offenen Blick für kurze Zeit, jedoch war ich zu langsam mit meiner Kamera bzw. genoß ihn einfach...
So man das Bild vergrößert, erscheint -tiefer gelegen und sehr klein-
Die Skistation "Violette Express" im Herzen von Crans-Montana
(Höhe: 2 000 m).
Von hier aus gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten und Schwierigkeitsgrade für Abfahrten.

I don’t feel sad at all looking at this abandoned shed as I often do with photos of run-down places.
I’d like to think maybe with a better option, its owner had moved to a better place for a happier life.
And the dilapidated shed is still standing there not as a pitiful sight but a memory of what used to be...

Another colorful and glorious sunrise to welcome this Tuesday in Madrid.
I liked very nice the shapes, shades and colors these picturesque clouds offered before the Sun appeared over the horizon. It was a memorable moment indeed.
Taken at 07:53 AM from home.
I hope you have a good Tuesday and enjoy your sky wherever you are.
Best viewed large.

No one has offered a better diagnosis of unhappiness and frustration than Frank Sheed. “Unhappiness,” he said, “is always unused or ill-used spiritual energy; and man has within himself so many energies made for God, that, lacking God, these energies cannot be satisfied, and can only turn in upon man and rend him.”3 He further said, “For fullness of being, man must have a knowledge of and a co-operation with that which maintains him in existence, that which is the very condition of his be-ing at all . . . There is an abyss of nothingness at the very heart of our being, and we had better counter it by the fullest possible use of our kinship with the Infinite, who is also at the very heart of our being.”4 Our pilgrimage is therefore neither eastwards nor westwards, but inwards; and this is what I call moving beyond East and West.
-Beyond East and West by John C.H. Wu Foreword by John Wu, Jr.
The scenery along Lake Superior is some of the best on offer in Canada, the Lake is the world’s biggest in land area at 82,ooo+ square kilometers and third biggest in water volume it is roughly the size of Austria. The Ojibwe the Native people that lived here for millennia named the lake “Gichi-gam” meaning great sea and to most it would have appeared that way, the lake is fed by over 200 rivers and this is one of them called Sand River.
Around 150kms north of Sault Ste. Marie on hwy 17 lies the Pinguisibi river it is the Ojibwa name for the Sand River meaning fine white sand river, it is completely contained in the Lake Superior Provincial Park and offers a great hiking trail with some interesting canoeing if you don’t mind portages. Also located here is the Pinguisibi Trail it is a 6 kilometer hike along the Sand River following the rivers right bank to its source lake or you can just venture as far as I was interested in, the upper falls which you can just see in the distance at the center of the frame.

During courtship/bonding in the breeding season, male bee-eaters offer insect 'snacks' to females. Here on the branch are two males, left and middle (with the dragonfly) and the female to the right. Bothe sexes are alike with this species but females can often be separated from males by body size...but not always.
These migratory birds can be found as far north as Finland and as far south as South Africa, extending east into some Asiatic countries too. Most commonly, European Bee-eaters will breed and nest in southern Europe, then migrate south during autumn and winter.
European bee-eaters live for five to six years. The difficulties of migration and avoiding predators along the way affect every bird. Bee-eaters today also find it harder to find food, as there are fewer insects around as a result of pesticides.

Autumn offers special and favorable meteorological conditions for beautiful fog in the mountains. During our hike in the Kaunertal, the fog was so thick that at times you couldn't see your own hand in front of your eyes. It also snowed the night before. With reasonable equipment, the hike was still fun for us. So, there are no more excuses not to go outside in bad weather.
P.S .: The fog was actually so thick that hardly any colors appear on the "color film".

This small area offered a great deal of fun positioning the camera to make order out of the chaos. Mt Rundle in the background with twisted snow covered logs and their reflections in the foreground. It was a playground with grown up toys that even delivered a mid ground of various colors.
Banff is about 90 minutes away and I rarely get there. Voted among the most beautiful places in the world, one might wonder why more time is not spent there.

Housing in the Faroe Islands offers a mix of options, including houses, apartments, and rooms for rent or purchase. The housing market is primarily private, with prices varying based on location and condition. There are also initiatives like Bústaðir, the Faroese Housing Association, which provides low-interest loans for energy-saving home conversions and aims to create new rental apartments. For students, some schools offer rented rooms in "school homes" with shared facilities.
The housing landscape reflects the Faroe Islands' transition from scattered settlements to more urbanized areas
The iconic red grass-roofed houses of the Faroe Islands are a striking blend of tradition and practicality. These turf-roofed homes are a hallmark of Faroese architecture, deeply rooted in the islands' history and environment.
Why Grass Roofs?
Grass roofs have been used in the Faroe Islands for over a thousand years. They provide excellent insulation, keeping homes warm during the harsh winters and cool in the summer. The thick layer of turf also protects against the islands' frequent heavy rainfall and strong winds. This natural roofing material is both eco-friendly and sustainable, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
The Red Walls
The vibrant red walls of these houses are often painted with a traditional red ochre pigment, which contrasts beautifully with the lush green of the grass roofs. This color choice is not just aesthetic; it also reflects a cultural preference for bright, cheerful hues in the often overcast and misty Faroese weather.
Where to Find Them
You can spot these charming houses in various villages across the Faroe Islands. Notable locations include:
1.Tórshavn: The capital city, where you’ll find traditional turf-roofed buildings like the Prime Minister’s office in Tinganes.
2.Gásadalur: A picturesque village known for its grass-roofed cabins near the famous Múlafossur Waterfall.
3.Bøur: A quaint settlement with many sod-roofed homes offering stunning views of the sea and nearby islets.
These houses are not just relics of the past; they continue to be built and maintained, preserving a unique architectural tradition that harmonizes with the Faroese way of life.

“When fortune calls, offer her a chair”....Thanks Rita for your testimonial!
I want to take a moment and celebrate all my Flickr contacts as well - I chose to photograph a section of my kitchen chair (above) as a symbol of the friendship I have with most of you. The strands represent all of you, coming together to form a single point of strength and every day providing me with support and most of all encouragement. As with the chair, every strand counts - from the most timid but consistent "fave" (you know who you are) to the most flamboyant award giver (you know who you are too!). Please know that all this support combined has helped to up my quality and has stirred my imagination to a degree I never thought possible. We must learn to trust what we see and photograph it in the best possible way. Thank you and here's to quality, good fortune and honest opinions!

Machu Picchu 20221127
Machu Picchu not only offers the visitor the view of the temples and stone houses that are on its cusp, but also gives a look of its terraces and irrigation systems, which give a unique personality to the Incan citadel and its surroundings.
The Functions of the Platforms
These constructions are wide steps built on the mountains’s slopes that allowed the Incas to gain land in order to develop agriculture adapted to the landscape.
Without a doubt, creating great steps meant a great effort, but without these, the constant rains, the humidity of the environment and the steepness of the area would have triggered large landslides that would have destroyed the ruins of Machu Picchu.
This terrace system fulfills three main functions:
Containment: These constructions prevented the land’s erosion from creating landslides when carrying out the construction of cities, houses and temples.
Agriculture: Through the construction of these platforms, the Incas expanded the amount of land used for agricultural activity. These terraces allowed to take advantage of the rainwater as a source of crop irrigation directly from channels that connected each of the levels. Nowadays, crops are not cultivated anymore to maintain their integrity, due to the condition of World Heritage of Machu Picchu.
Ceremonial centers: these finer and more extensive construction platforms were intended to decorate ceremonial and/or administrative centers.
