a rockface of multiple small waterfalls coming down a tremendously high mountain (Hestur mountain) in Hestfjordur along Iceland's Westfjords. The whole scenario looked so enchanting I thought this had to be a natural bathtub destined to offer dryads and nymphs a refreshing bath ;)
Jokulsarlon glacier lake in Southeast Iceland offers views on an enormous glacier tongue and amazing ice floes floating around in the lake created by melting glacial ice.
The city centre offers many possibilities for a real voyage of discovery. A city tour takes you along the harbours, the six highest mills in the world, and distilleries and malthouses. You can also follow the footsteps of Saint Liduina, one of the most famous Dutch saints, by admiring her beautiful relics, located in the Liduina Basiliek. The museums, galleries, workshops and specialty shops are definitely worth a visit.
Moreover, throughout the year, the city centre is the backdrop for a large number of public events and has wonderful parks to settle on. Schiedam can also be discovered from the water: from April till October you can take a tour on the Fluisterboot. There are also various mooring points for cruises in the city centre.
The story of the city
The museums of Schiedam tell the story of the city. Relive the olden days in the old grocer’s shop of the Nationaal Coöperatie Museum or in the Jenevermuseum Schiedam, where you can still have a sip of old genever or corn spirit. In the Windmill Museum De Nieuwe Palmboom you can see the miller at work and exhibitions showing the milling history of Schiedam.
In the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam you can enjoy Dutch modern and contemporary art, with Post War as the main exhibition theme. The museum is located in the restored Sint Jacobs Gasthuis and has a wonderful permanent collection of over 250 Cobra works.
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,

Recently I was offered a great job opportunity with a local non-profit organization so I am re-entering the workforce after a 2 1/2 year absence. As a result, I will need to be away from Flickr for an extended perior of time while I learn the ropes at my new job and get used to working every day again.
During this time away, I will definitely miss seeing all of your wonderful photos and reading about your adventures. Thank you so much for your friendships and your favs and nice comments that you have left on my photos. They all mean so much to me.
Happy clicking to you all and I hope to see you again in a few months :)

Sorrento, perched picturesquely on a plateau above the sea with spectacular views over the Bay of Naples, has been a popular tourist destination for almost two centuries. Traditionally the town is one of the favourite resorts of British visitors to Italy, and over the last few decades it has ruled as Italy's leading package-holiday destination for English-speakers. The historic seaside town has learned to live with, and make the most of tourism, and in return it offers a classic 'Mediterranean summer holiday' atmosphere - but without losing all of its Italian character and charm. The key attraction of Sorrento is that it can offer a variety of holiday experiences to suit different visitors, from rural walks through lemon and olive groves to a choice of excursions by land or sea. Pompeii, Herculaneum and Naples are accessible in one direction, and the Amalfi Coast in another. Days out can include Roman ruins, low-key seaside resorts, traditional villages and breathtaking scenery. Being well-connected and easy to get to makes this a straightforward and practical holiday choice.
The August heat sat heavily on the air, blistering all that lingered in the sun for too long. Even the shade offered little comfort with the relentless heat. Another sweat droplet streamed from her brow down the side of her face as she watched the heat dance across the horizon, time creeping by, minutes feeling like hours. She leaned forward only slightly to scan her surroundings, trying to see further down the canyon, but knowing without seeing that her partner was just as eager for what was to come next.
As she sat, her horse shifted beneath her, his rhythmic tail swatting the only other movement he offered. He was quiet, even though he surely felt the anticipation that his rider was brimming with.
As they waited, the unmistakable sound of hooves against the packed earth started to fill the quiet, her horse’s head lifting in silent confirmation she was in fact hearing it and not imagining things. It wouldn’t be long now. She adjusted her seat, pulling the reins only slightly to communicate his need to be prepared to go when asked, and she could feel him ready himself in response.
---
Pulling the fabric of her mask up across her face she watched from her hiding place as the coach rushed by, the horses thundering by as the dust filled the air around them. The sound of the wooden wheels of the coach and the footfalls of the fast-moving horses had to be one of her favorites, but perhaps because this was always when she heard them best.
As they passed, she squeezed her mount, and he launched himself forward falling into the dusty path of the coach. She dropped the reins, using her legs to guide him as she raised her pistols, firing off the first shot, which proved successful as the horses ahead of her sped into a frantic run.
It was only moments before the shotgun rider had prepared himself, and returned a shot, to which she pulled back only slightly, sending back one of her own as she did her best to keep her horse from staying too straight for too long.
They were almost into position now, well into the canyon, knowing she’d soon hear Millie’s shots joining the symphony. If there was one thing she could count on, it was her being where she said she’d be.
Thank you Tups for always jumping into my shenanigans with me, I am thoroughly enjoying watching these characters develop as their story progresses, and I look forward to many more with you! You can see her version here!

I want to take a moment to remember Andrew Harlan, who I didn't know well, but knew to be a very kind person. I'm glad to have known him and been able to do this image with him. He was very talented and had a unique eye when it came to his SL photography. He will definitely be missed.

Located five miles north of the Dead Sea at 380 meters below sea level, this sacred site on the River Jordan offers visitors a profoundly authentic spiritual journey. As the revered location of Jesus Christ's baptism by John the Baptist, it marks a monumental turning point in human history and the birth of Christianity. Visitors can also explore numerous surrounding churches. To fully enjoy this remarkable site, plan your visit during the cooler months to escape the extreme summer heat of the Jordan Valley.

This panorama offers a partial view of the Colorado River and the Glen Canyon Dam near Lake Powell and Page, Arizona. It is located near the colossal Horseshoe Bend featured on the previous image. The 710' high dam was built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation between 1956 and 1966. It forms Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the U.S. with a capacity of 27 million acre feet (33 km3). The dam is named for Glen Canyon, a series of deep sandstone gorges now flooded by the reservoir; Lake Powell is named for John Wesley Powell, who in 1869 led the first expedition to traverse the Colorado's Grand Canyon by boat.
This cavern offers a completely ride-through cave experience on propane-powered Jeep-drawn trams.
Fantastic Caverns was discovered in 1862 by an Ozarks farmer -- or more precisely, by his dog, who crawled through a small entrance in a hillside. It wasn't until five years after its discovery that the first exploration of Fantastic Caverns took place: twelve women from Springfield, answering a newspaper ad seeking explorers, ventured into the cave. Fantastic Caverns is one of more than 7,300 documented caves in Missouri, and more are still being discovered. Missouri is called The Cave State.
Kiribilli offers great views at Sydney Harbour and is one of my favourite places to hang out, relax and to take photos. I first noticed the puddle reflection by accident on a walk along the waterfront in December 2017. I took a nice photo of Harbour Bridge and its reflection. Then, a couple of weeks later, already being back in Germany, I reviewed my photos and got the idea to merge several horizontal photos to create a panorama of the whole cityscape including the puddle reflection. With this in mind I came back to this place during my next stay in Sydney in May 2018 - everything was planned and well prepared - but unfortunately there was no puddle due to low tide. At least this was great to try the framing...but for the final photo I had to come back again. A few days later, equipped with a large bucket and a rope, I set up my tripod, filled the puddle and finally took the desired shots. Luckily this was the day before the start of Vivid Sydney - the view was great since the bridge was fully shining. The result is this merge of 5 vertical long exposure shots with my beloved EF 24mm 1.4 prime lens.
The flower offered of itself
And eloquently spoke
Of Gods
In languages of rainbows
Perfumes
And secret silence...

31-January-2022: when, near you, there are contiguous areas with different meteorological and micro-climatic peculiarities, something is always found (even in a winter that has offered little more than nothing), but you must be ready to seize the opportunities given; this is not easy but sometimes very sathisfactory.
The tail of a cold front from the North, one of the very few that touched the area (always at night, no conditions!) during a short retreat of the African Anticyclone, after having cutted off the Alps and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (sheltered, in winter, by the Tauern chain, in Austria) reformed between the Slovenian plain and the Eastern Karst Region/Northern Dinarides with a series of snow showers in the form of squall-line.
Not for nothing I was there...
As soon as the fast snowfall stopped, I thought I'd take some photos in the only area that is always illuminated in that wide virgin Forest at night.
Artificial light is certainly not like solar one, but, also in this case, it is "of necessity-virtue".
The lights with different tones, reflected from the snow and accumulated by the long pose, create a "carnival" of particular colors.
I kept passing by
Every day for years
What could you offer me
I wondered
Only tears
You’re just for weddings
Funerals and fears
But a day comes
When all that disappears
Nothing matters
When all thoughts stop
And you are on the edge of a drop
A precipice of denial
Lean one way
I’ll be fine
Lean the other
No I’m not
I wanted my thoughts
In some sort of order
Help me please
Before it’s all over
I went inside and had a look
I got more than what I bargained for
Unconditional love and much more
A small quiet ask
Was all it took
Conversations about many things
And now I know
You were always listening to me
You knew me
You saw me
Right from the beginning
The beautiful gateway to Glynde Church in Sussex, UK, has not changed for many years, except that the gates need to be refitted to the porch. Money is always needed for restoration. Images from the past in black & white and sepia still show this entrance, so I thought I would take my own in homage.
To see more of my images and poems have a look at my website:
Santuario Nostra Signora della Guardia, Genova
Il sole ci aveva sfiancati, resi febbrosi ; ora la nebbia ci placa, ci fa rientrare in noi. Le finestre aperte sono come finestre chiuse, non offrono visioni , ma solo tende di grigio. È tempo di chiuderle e riscoprire la casa
( Adriana Zarri )
The sun had exhausted us, made feverish; now the fog quietens us, to return into ourselves. The open windows are like shut windows, don't offer visions but only curtains of grey. It's time to close them and rediscover the home
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.

A elegante Basílica dos Mártires situa-se na famosa rua Garrett, no requintado e mítico Chiado, bem no centro da cosmopolita cidade de Lisboa.
Com origens bem antigas, diz-se que a Ermida foi erguida a mando do primeiro rei Português, D. Afonso Henriques, em honra a todos os cruzados martirizados na tomada de Lisboa aos Mouros em 1147, podendo-se ler no interior a seguinte inscrição “Nesta paróquia se administrou o primeiro baptismo depois da tomada de Lisboa aos Mouros no ano de 1147”.
Não obstante, o presente templo começou a ser construído em 1769 e foi terminado em 1786, ostentando um profuso estilo Barroco tão característico da marca Pombalina do Lisboa pós terramoto de 1755, de acordo com o projecto do muito conceituado Arquitecto Reynaldo Manuel dos Santos.
L'elegante Basilica dei Martiri si trova sulla famosa Garrett, la squisita e leggendario Chiado, proprio nella città cosmopolita di Lisbona.
Con origini antichissime, si dice che la cappella fu costruita per volere del primo re portoghese, D. Afonso Henriques, in onore di tutti i martiri croce nel prendere Lisbona dai Mori nel 1147 e può essere letto nel seguente iscrizione "In questa parrocchia è stato somministrato il primo battesimo dopo la cattura di Lisbona ai Mori per l'anno 1147."
Tuttavia, l'attuale tempio fu iniziata nel 1769 e fu completata nel 1786, che vanta uno stile barocco sontuoso così caratteristico del marchio Pombal di Lisbona dopo il terremoto del 1755, secondo Architetto altamente considerato del progetto Reynaldo dos Santos.
The 35-acre Langdale Estate offers something for everyone with the 4-star Langdale Hotel, and 5-star self catering accommodation
The Estate is near the village of Elterwater in the English Lake District on the site of a former quarry.
In 1823 a local entrepreneur with an interest in quarrying, saw the potential for the manufacture of gunpowder on the site. The seclusion, natural waterpower and a growing demand from the Lakeland mines & quarries ensured success. Within a few years the Elterwater Gunpowder Works was not only supplying the domestic industry, but also exporting to North America & South Africa
The powder works closed in 1930, a victim of the depression & the development of more modern explosives, such as dynamite. A local landowner, recognising the potential of the unique location, bought & developed the site as a holiday resort in 1930 which has grown ever since

“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!

My Photoblog- My Third Eye...!
(EN) The curved basement gallery of Alicante's Provincial Palace offers one of the city's quieter art experiences — a circular space of polished marble, clerestory light and white walls that follow a gentle arc. Three large-format oils occupy the wall, their warm ochres and golds answering the warm tones of the stone floor.
The central work commands the room: a luminous depiction of a 1920s touring car rendered in broad, confident strokes, its golden coachwork glowing against a background of tropical vegetation and figures in period dress. The painting reads less as transport and more as theatre — movement, colour and Mediterranean light held in a single frame. Finally, the curved architecture quietly amplifies everything it contains.
(ES) La galería curva del sótano del Palacio Provincial de Alicante ofrece una de las experiencias artísticas más tranquilas de la ciudad: un espacio circular de mármol pulido, luz cenital y paredes blancas que siguen un arco suave. Tres óleos de gran formato ocupan la pared, cuyos ocres y dorados cálidos dialogan con los tonos del suelo de piedra.
La obra central domina la sala: una representación luminosa de un automóvil de turismo de los años veinte, ejecutada con pinceladas amplias y seguras, su carrocería dorada resplandeciendo ante un fondo de vegetación exuberante y figuras con trajes de época. El cuadro se lee menos como transporte y más como teatro — movimiento, color y luz mediterránea contenidos en un solo encuadre. Y por último, la arquitectura curva amplifica en silencio todo lo que alberga.

Sunrise on the Ottawa, or at least on a nice and open section of the River near the Deschesnes Rapids. The bird is swimming casually along an the edge of the ice that forms over a small bay outside the Rapids, a bay that offers the birds (when not frozen, or partially frozen) a sanctuary from the often violent water beyond.
Where I was lying on the ice is now open water, and the ice the duck was swimming beside as well. This is a seasonal image in the truest sense.
And the early light was amazing. That is seasonal as well, especially on the cold water.
Odin offers the völva his necklace and ring as payment for telling him the future. She then begins to inform him about the creation of the world, the first gods and people, as well as the end of the world – Ragnarök, when gods will do battle with giants. The seeress also describes how after Ragnarök, the all-destructive war, the world will rise again. But she also sees that evil will return to the world.
