A painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) perched on a log in a cypress swamp within the Trinity River delta system of Texas.
Love the wing position on this one. One of the cool things about short-eared owls is that they can range in colour like this bird from very dark to almost white. Generally speaking, the females are the darker birds and the males tend to be the lighter colored ones. It can be a real guessing game though depending on their location in the world and their environmental adaptation.

Templo de Apolo - Delfos - Grecia
Las ruinas del Templo de Apolo en Delfos, que se remontan al siglo IV a. C., pertenecen a un templo dórico periptero. Fue edificado sobre los restos de un templo anterior, fechado en el siglo VI a. C., que a su vez fue erigido en el emplazamiento de otro del siglo VII a. C. Su construcción se atribuye a los arquitectos Trofonio y Agamedes.
En el siglo VI a. C. era conocido como el «Templo de los Alcmeónidas», en tributo a la familia ateniense que financió su reconstrucción después de un incendio que destruyó su estructura original. [El templo fue destruido tras la invasión persa del 487 a. C ]
El nuevo edificio fue un templo de estilo dórico hexástilo de 6 x 15 columnas. Fue destruido en el año 373 a. C. Las esculturas del frontón son atribuidas a Praxias y Andróstenes, atenienses. De una proporción similar, en el segundo templo se mantuvo el patrón 6 x 15 columnas en el estilobato.1 Dentro estaba el ádyton, el centro del oráculo de Delfos y el asiento de la Pitia. El monumento fue restaurado en parte en 1938.
Sobrevivió hasta el 390, año en el que el emperador cristiano, Teodosio I, silenció el oráculo con la destrucción del templo y la mayor.

Temple of Apollo - Delphi - Greece
The Temple of Apollo, god of music, harmony, light, healing, and oracles occupied the most important and prominent position in the Delphic Panhellenic Sanctuary. The edifice with the partially restored colonnade visible today dates to the 4th century BC; it is the third temple built at the same place. The famous oracle, the Pythia, operated inside the temple, the location chosen, according to one tradition, due to a sacred chasm beneath the site emitting vapors, which were inhaled by the Pythia. Some ancient writers state that the Pythia then entered a state of delirium and uttering inarticulate cries, which were then turned into equivocal oracles by the priests.[1] This interpretation is controversial, and has been challenged by scholars such as Joseph Fontenrose and Lisa Maurizio, who argue that the ancient sources uniformly represent the Pythia speaking intelligibly, and giving prophecies in her own voice.
The Sphinx of the Naxians (560 BCE) was located next to the Temple of Apollo.
The history of the temple was related by Pausanias in his Description of Greece of the 2nd century CE:
They say that the most ancient temple of Apollo was made of laurel, the branches of which were brought from the laurel in Temple. This temple must have had the form of a hut. The Delphians say that the second temple was made by bees from bees-wax and feathers, and that it was sent to the Hyperboreans by Apollo.
Another story is current, that the temple was set up by a Delphian, whose name was Pteras, and so the temple received its name from the builder… The story that the temple was built of the fern (pteris) that grows on the mountains, by interweaving fresh stalks of it, I do not accept at all.
It is no wonder that the third temple was made of bronze, seeing that Acrisios made a bedchamber of bronze for his daughter, the Lacedaemonians still possess a sanctuary of Athena of the Bronze House, and the Roman forum, a marvel for its size and style, possesses a roof of bronze. So it would not be unlikely that a temple of bronze was made for Apollo…
The fourth temple was made by Trophonius and Agamedes; the tradition is that it was made of stone. It was burnt down in the archonship of Erxicleides at Athens, in the first year of the fifty-eighth Olympiad (548/47), when Diognetus of Crotona was victorious. The modern temple was built for the god by the Amphictyons from the sacred treasures, and the architect was one Spintharus of Corinth.

The sun was in the perfect position to rise between the mountains for sunrise, but that was just one element. I had taken a few photos of the tree the evening before and the water was perfectly still, lovely reelections with a few clouds in the sky. Fast forward 12 hours and it was windy with hardly any clouds in the sky. Luckily i'd set up an hour before sunrise and managed to get a bit of the early morning colour.
Having performed a double run around on the siding here just west of MP 89 on the former Maine Central Mountain Subdivision, 4266 and 573 are now positioned on the east end of the train while 216 is on the west. The train is departing west and will travel another 10 miles on the rarely used trackage to Quebec Junction where the Beecher Falls branch once left the mainline to continue into the north country. This special event is an annual excursion sponsored by the 470 Railroad Club of Portland, ME that owns the 4266 and much of the other historic equipment found in North Conway.
Boston and Maine power is no stranger to Fabyan and in fact the B&M once had it's own branchline passing through to the Cog Railway base station. Even long after that was abandoned the B&M retained trackage rights over the MEC to this point. Furthermore B&M power often pooled with the MEC during the decades of joint ownership, as seen in this image of a Maine Central train westbound taken from the opposite end of the station: www.nashuacitystation.org/resource/9304011160/ As for the station itself, I'm not sure exactly when it was built, but I believe it was around 1910. The last scheduled passenger train called in 1958 and for many years it was a popular and quite good restaurant that sadly does not appear to have survived the pandemic loss of business. Here's hoping it finds another life!

Nach meinem spätabendlichen Fotowalk durch Weimar und einer angenehmen Nacht im Auto, bin ich am letzten Tag meiner Rundreise in Jena angekommen. Meine Idee ist es die Stadt in ihrem Talkessel so zu fotografieren, dass ich mich auf einer Anhöhe befinde und der Jentower in den Morgenhimmel hinragt und, mit ein bisschen Glück, im Hintergrund ein schöner Morgenhimmel zu sehen ist. Mithilfe von GoogleMaps habe ich eine Location auf einer Anhöhe mit freier Sicht ausfindig gemacht und mich mit voller Ausrüstung positioniert. Erste Bilder und Warten auf den Morgen...

After my late evening photo walk through Weimar and a pleasant night in the car, I arrived in Jena on the last day of my road trip. My idea is to photograph the city in its basin so that I am on a hill and the Jentower rises into the morning sky and, with a bit of luck, a beautiful morning sky can be seen in the background. Using Google Maps, I located a location on a hill with a clear view and positioned myself with full equipment. First pictures and waiting for the morning...

Times so bad that even angels would wish to crouch and hide, others would prefer death to endless suffering, others again might wish to have never been born in the first place. So many men with guns pulling the religious traditions through the dirt. So much hypocrisy in the 'defence' of democracy; such a corrupted language defining the 'other'; so much violence masquerading as justified reactions. So little preparedness to step into the other's shoes. I could go on. However, when angels are helpless, and when violence is going to create even more violence, the foetal position is the wrong choice. We got to stand up and walk.

Tra le numerosi attrazioni presenti all'interno del Parco Giardino Sigurtà di Valeggio sul Mincio (VR), si trova la Meridiana orizzontale tramite la quale si può osservare la posizione del sole ogni giorno per poterne determinare il meridiano e quindi l'orario.

The Castle of Levizzano is located in a dominant position on the wonderful hills of the homonymous village in the municipality of Castelvetro. Its structure consists of a city wall in the centre of which there is the so-called Torre Matildica - Matildic Tower.
Starting from the 12th century, the fortified complex was restored and enlarged. In particular, next to the tower that was placed to protect the entrance to the Castle, a part of the feudal palace was erected and an underground tunnel was built, which still joins the Palace to the Tower.
Around the 16th century the buildings underwent important transformations: dating back to this period is the so-called "Stanza dei Vescovi" or Bishops’ Room, which has a ceiling with ancient wooden structures and a cycle of Renaissance frescoes. On the main floor, you can enter the charming loggia overlooking the hills dotted with vineyards from the main hall. Campo San Rocco and the ancient former Napoleonic cemetery stand in the immediate vicinity of the Castle.

I initially intend to post this yesterday but i was too tied up with some work i've facing at this moment & a bit of a bad run of luck lately too (that excludes the crap exam btw :P) haha! oh well, just gotta laugh over it to make myself feel better. I am hardly not at home since early hours of the morning for the past 3 days & was dead tired by the time i came back home. With not much of a choice, i guess i will have to make monday a churchy day instead for once :D Hope you will enjoy this nonetheless. Cheers!

Valsesia, Italy.
Corno Bianco, 3320m, seen From North. With the huge NE pillar, with a prominence of more than 650m, and the long W-NW ridge.
The fierce aspect and the remote position of this mountain have been the inspiration for numerous legends.
One of these tells the story of a wild man, “Das Wilte Mandje”, that lived alone on a distant grassy plain, right below the severe cliffs of the mountain, a place called “Saccu Bode”, the plain of the donkey.
I have heard more of a version of this legend.
In a first one, this wild man fought against a group of evil witches that terrorized the people living in the green valleys below. He won the fight and forced the witches to get back on the top of the mountain, to stay there forever. Despite the help that he gave to the people of the valley, the wild man never earned any popularity, and he lived until the end of his days alone, in his remote home.
In another version, the wild man had a visit from another man. This last one offered to the eremite to transform the wild and sever valley into a heavenly place, where the winter is warm as the summer, green grass grows in every season, and fresh waters runs even in the warmest of the days; asking, in exchange, the soul of the eremite. The wild man, understanding that he was speaking with the Devil, refused; and the valley remained a place where, during winter, the sun never kisses the iced ground.
In the link below you can see the place where, according to the legend, this man used to live.
Il Corno Bianco visto da Nord. Con il grande pilastro NE, alto più di 650m, e la lunga cresta W-NO.
L'aspetto frastagliato e la posizione remota di questa montagna sono stati l'ispirazione per numerose leggende.
Una di queste racconta la storia di un uomo selvaggio, “Das Wilte Mandje”, che viveva da solo su un isolato pianoro erboso, proprio sotto le severe pareti della montagna, un posto chiamata “Saccu bode”, il piano dell’asino.
Conosco due versioni di questa storia.
Nella prima versione, quest’ uomo selvaggio affrontò un gruppo di perfide streghe che terrorizzavano le persone che abitavano le verdi vallate sottostanti. L’uomo vinse la lotta e costrinse le streghe a tornare in cima alla montagna, per rimanere confinate lassù per sempre. Nonostante l'aiuto che diede alla gente della valle, il selvaggio non guadagnò mai alcuna popolarità, e visse fino alla fine dei suoi giorni da solo, nella sua remota casa.
Nella seconda versione, il selvaggio ebbe una visita da un altro uomo. Quest'ultimo offrì all’ eremita di trasformare la sua valle in un luogo paradisiaco, dove l'inverno è caldo come l'estate, l’erba verde cresce in ogni stagione, e fresche acque scorrono anche nel più caldo dei giorni; chiedendo, in cambio, l'anima dell’eremita. L'uomo selvaggio, capendo che stava parlando con il Diavolo, si rifiutò; e la valle rimase un luogo in cui, durante l'inverno, il sole non bacia mai la terra ghiacciata.
Nel link che segue, trovate uan foto del posto dove la leggenda vuole che quest'uomo abbia dimorato.
