Iconic shot of this famous small Baroque church in the Funes Valley, Italy, with peaks from the Dolomites in the background.
Built in the mid 1750's, the church is for the Patron Saint of Bohemia, John of Nepomuk, who was martyred by being drowned in the river Vltava. The unusual garland star over the church is in reference to a star-shaped garland found near his remains. He is therefore considered to be the patron saint of all people in danger of drowning.
Well worth the visit, but good luck finding it, as it has several names (German, Italian, etc) and isn't close to any major roads.
Windows of opportunity come and go, and unfortunately my window in the short amount of time we had here at the church (San Giovanni in Italian) the lighting was poor from a completely overcast sky. Fortunately it burned off for some sun later on in the day, when we were further along the Greater Dolomites Road.

One of the best things to do in the fall in Northern Virginia is to take Skyline Drive to see the colors changing in the Appalachians. The many overlooks afford sweeping views of both sides of the Appalachian Ridge.
From Wikipedia: The Shenandoah Valley is both a geographic valley and cultural region of western Virginia in the United States. The valley is bounded to the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains, to the west by the eastern front of the Appalachians, to the north by the Potomac River and to the south by the James River. The cultural region covers a larger area that includes all of the valley plus the Virginia highlands to the west.

Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti is a palace adjacent to the Ponte dell'Accademia, one of only four bridges that spans the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. The palace was erected in 1565, and went though a series of renovations throughout the mid-19th Century. Since 1999 it has been the seat of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti (Venetian Institute of Sciences, Letters and Arts). It frequently houses cultural events.
The Grand Canal is the lungs, major artery and highway of Venice. The banks are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and display up front the art and architecture created by the Republic of Venice thoughout its history.
This photo was taken at almost the same time as this capture of the Grand Canal seen here.

Monterosso al Mare is in the Riviera di Levante region of Italy and has a shoreline on the Mediterranean's Gulf of Genoa. It is the westernmost and northernmost "village" of the Cinque Terre, but much of it doesn't feel like the Cinque Terre at all, having more in common with beach-vacation resorts rather than the quaint and charming rustic villages to its south.
The beach is the only extensive sand beach in the Cinque Terre. The town is divided into two distinct parts: the old town in the north and the new town to the south. The two areas are divided by a single tunnel that caters to pedestrians and the very few cars in the town.
This shot here includes Lo scoglio di monterosso, "The Rock of Monterosso", to the right center of the capture.
The Cinque Terre ("Five Lands") is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It has five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The Via dell'Amore is a path connecting all 5 towns, and in addition there are water taxis which run when the sea is calm. The coastline, the villages and surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Piazza San Marco (Saint Mark's Square) shot from the viewing balcony on Saint Mark's Basilica. On the far left is the Venetian Lagoon with Saint Theodore's column. The Biblioteca is center left and the base of the impressive Campanile on the right.
Piazza San Marco is so well known, you can either say too much or too little about it, but there is a reason why it is THE tourist draw in Venice, above all others. Here you can find all things Venice in one stop, which is precisely why it is so crazy crowded from about 11:00 am to late afternoon.
In other words, get there early! Beat the other tourists to the Campanile (free standing bell tower, the long line for which is in view on the left), St. Mark's Basilica with its stunning Horses of Saint Mark (and don't miss the balcony, from which this photo was taken), and the Doge's Palace. I recommend you see them in that order, too. You can also see the Biblioteca, the Clocktower and arcades (out of view to the right), take photos of the Bridge of Sighs, shop and eat off square, and when you are ready take a gondola ride from the docks.

The impressive baptistery in the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles, formally known as Piazza del Duomo) supports the diocese of the Santa Maria Assunta cathedral in Pisa, Italy. The famous walled square is recognized as an important center of European medieval art and is considered to be one of the finest architectural complexes in the world. Along with the batistery, the square features the Leaning Tower of Pisa (the Campanile), the Pisa Cathedral, and the Camposanto Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery). The entire Piazza del Duomo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Pisa Baptistery, dedicated to St. John The Baptist, is the largest in Italy, at 54.86 m high with a diameter of 34.13 m. It is constructed of marble but was built on the same unstable sand as its more famous neighbor, the Leaning Tower. As a result the Baptistery leans 0.6 degrees toward the duomo. Construction was started in 1152 but was not completed until 1363. The Baptistery was designed by Diotisalvi and is an example of the transition from the Romanesque style to the Gothic style: the lower section is in the Romanesque style, with rounded arches, while the upper sections are in the Gothic style, with pointed arches.

Nasrid Palaces, Alhambra, Granada, Andalusia, Spain
The Rauda Tower (Torre de la Rauda) stands behind the Palace of the Lions (Palacio de los Leones), to which it connected through a door. It was thought during quite a long time that this was the place where the Kings of Granada were buried. However, the cemetery was found outside the palace, more to the south, so that the Rauda must have been its main entrance or the entrance to the original palace.
The tower started to be called like the gardens ("rawda") that surround the building of the royal cemetery, which is located behind the Patio of the Lions (Patio de los Leones) and it is separated from it by a moat.
The first remains of the tower to be found date from the same period as the Arms Tower (Torre de las Armas). These remains were discovered in 1887, when the construction added to the palace of the Harem was demolished. It was then studied between 1925 and 1926. Only the lower part of its walls remains, with fragments of tiles.

The keeper put the keg in the water, and the cats paced around for a while, and then this one went in the water! One of the other cats already went in and came out by this point.
I also heard yesterday and confirmed today that these three tigers are leaving the National Zoo this month :( :( :( They're going to Denver I think, and the National Zoo is going to try to get these guys' parents to breed again in time for a spring birth.

Neat Image used to filter out some noise. Nikon D70s, Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6. I'm not sure, but I think I may have had the polarizer on. I had it on and off for a bit in this time frame, ~1pm.
Exif data removed by Neat Image: Exposure: 1/250, Aperture: f/8, Focal Length: 190mm, Flash: Flash fired, auto mode (Nikon SB-800 w/shield-diffuser), ISO Speed: 200
I guess 1/250th wasn't fast enough! There's still a bit of blur.

Well, I thought the thief had deleted my images from his stream, but apparently he just deleted the set. He has 17 of my images from the middle of page 7-8. I would suggest y'all block him and I would also appreciate it if y'all would report him to the Flickr team. I wish that Flickr would do more to protect us from this sort of thing from happening.
Have a Happy Easter!

I was looking at the other groups art and saw someones giraffes that I really liked. The giraffes she drew were more e-longated than mine ....this is my atempt in that style after being inspired by Liannes work from group 1. Not as good as hers, but I had fun with it. I like the way it has a kind of caricature look to it.

Stones taught me to fly,
Love, it taught me to lie,
Life, it taught me to die,
So it's not hard to fall,
When you float like a cannonball.
Cant stop listening to Damien Rice right now, he is amazing, agreed? :D

A new painting focusing on the Sanctuary and interior of St James's RC Church, Spanish Place London; which was opened on September 29, 1890. Its rich history and association with Spain stretches back to the 16th century and is contained in the link below; from the Parish website.
Expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley - whose Catholic tribute paintings have been exhibited at London's Westminster Cathedral - created the oil painting inspired by a series of drawings made on location inside the beautiful church, a jewel in Marylebone in central London. The painting was completed over several days - including the actual anniversary.
