Andenes fyr (Andenes lighthouse) is a coastal lighthouse located at the northern end of the island of Andøya, in the village of Andenes. It was established in 1859, automated in 1978 and listed as a protected site in 1999. The lighthouse is managed by the nearby Andøy Museum, which offers guided tours during the summer season.

The Parish Church of Saint Andrew
Witham on the Hill is an attractive stone village on the uplands between the market towns of Stamford & Bourne in the south west of the county, close to the border with Rutland.
The parish church is dedicated to St Andrew, it has a spacious Early English nave and a Perpendicular clerestory and chancel, the tower and steeple, which stand in an unusual position forming the south transept, were re-built in a medieval revival style by the Stamford architect George Portwood in 1737-8.
Mirje, kasnoantički lokalitet, smješten je blizu Postira, na strateški izvrsnom položaju blizu Salone, glavnog grada provincije Dalmacije. Građeno je blizu Dioklecijanove palače u Splitu i carskih kamenoloma pored Škripa, odakle se brao kamen za gradnju veličanstvene palače.
Brojni fragmenti crkvenog kamenog namještaja potvrdili su postojanje sakralne građevine iz 6. stoljeća. Sklop nije građen za samostansku zajednicu već je riječ o adaptaciji kasnoantičke vile s termalnim sklopom.
Mirje, a late antique locality, is situated near Postira, on excellent strategic position near Salona, the capital of the province of Dalmatia. It was built near Diocletian palace in Split and imperial quarries near Škrip, from which architectural stone for building of monumental palace was cut.
Numerous fragments of stone furniture confirmed the existence of sacral building from 6th century. The complex was not built for the convent's community, but was the adaptation of the late antique villa with thermal complex.
In Korean "Singing Stream" is "Noree Hanin Shinen Mool". This happy little stream runs from the surrounding wooded hills behind my position straight ahead into the town of Yangpyeong in the far background. The quality of the water at this point I would guess was very good because there was no run-off from fertilized farmland and no buildings behind me from the point at which I took this--there were only woods. I dread to think about what happens to this poor stream as it wends its way through town: sewage, garbage, and chemical run-off await it. Yangpyeong has experienced explosive growth in the years since this was taken.

High winds of W25 with gusts to 50 mph occurred with the passage of this multi-layered lenticular cloud during mid-morning. Temperature was 50F but is expected to fall to -6F in less than 48 hours (verified low of -14F) with 2 to 6 inches of snow (received 3.5 inches). Wyoming is windy because the average position of the mid-latitude Jet Stream is centered over the state. These clouds are a direct result of very strong winds aloft.

This is the Figurehead of the replica ship Freedom Schooner Amistad
La Amistad (Spanish: "Friendship") was a 19th-century two-masted schooner built in the United States but owned by a Spaniard living in Cuba. The ship was notable as the scene of a revolt by African captives being transported from Havana. When they took control of the ship in July 1839 and were later captured by the US Navy, La Amistad became a symbol in the movement to abolish slavery. The ship was taken under control by the United States, resulting in a legal battle over the status of the Africans, as importation of slaves into the US had been prohibited since 1808.
On July 2, 1839, Sengbe Pieh led fellow 53 Africans (49 adults and 4 children), captives being transported aboard La Amistad from Havana, in a revolt against their captors. After gaining control of the ship, the Africans demanded to be returned home, but the ship’s navigator deceived them about the course and sailed north along the North American coast to Long Island, New York.
The schooner was taken into custody by the United States Navy and the Africans were taken to Connecticut to be sold as slaves. There ensued a widely publicized court case in New Haven, CT about the ship and the legal status of the African captives. At that time the transport of slaves from Africa to the Americas was illegal, so the ship owners fraudulently described the Africans as having been born in Cuba. The court had to decide if the Africans were to be considered salvage and the property of Naval officers who had taken custody of the ship, whether they were the property of the Cuban buyers, or of Spain as the Queen of Spain claimed, or lastly, if the circumstances of their capture and transportation meant they were free. The issues became the focus of the Amistad case, which figured prominently in abolitionism in the United States. In America, the African leader Sengbe Pieh became known as Joseph Cinqué. The Supreme Court ruled the Africans had been illegally held, and the United States arranged for them to be returned to Africa, as they wished.
Freedom Schooner Amistad set sail on June 21, 2007, from New Haven on the "Atlantic Freedom Tour", a 14,000-mile (23,000 km) transatlantic voyage

Kirkjufell (Icelandic: Church mountain) is a 463m high mountain on the north coast of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður.
Beautifully shaped, Kirkjufell is one of the most photographed mountain in Iceland. Its isolated position jutting out into the sea makes it a focal point for tourists and seamen alike. Surrounded by beaches, Kirkjufell has a lovely walking trail around it as well as a more challenging climb up to the top where bird and fish fossils can be found.
Besides it are the short but very well situated waterfalls called Kirkjufellsfoss (Church Mountain Waterfalls).
When these clouds moved in to position, I did as well. They add a certain extra to the image that helps complete it. This rail line has been shot by all of my cameras over the years, and this one is a little more complete than the rest with the addition of the clouds. They fill that distant draw in the hills that is in need of a finishing element.
My studio assistant, Leica, is adjusting the position of the subject :-)
The Kodak Folding Pocket Camera was released in 1902 and takes postcard size pictures of 4 x 5 inch (10 x 12,5 cm) on daylight loading roll film or glass plates. Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary had been traveling to the Arctic region since 1886. From 1891 onwards he took Kodak cameras with him. He preferred 4 x 5 inch cameras because these made large enough pictures yet they were relatively small and light. On his 1908-1909 expedition he finally reached the North Pole, and with him he had a No. 4 Folding Pocket Kodak very much like this one. He documented the expedition with this camera including critical photos which were later used to validate that he really had been to the North Pole.

Well I finally got a Lenticular Cloud near Mt Rainier! Actually, this cloud was forming to the east of the mountain, but since I am on the west side shooting east, the cloud looks to be forming right above the mountain! I saw this driving from my house in Issaquah. I left around 4:00pm to get to the mountain. "Plenty of Time, " I thought. Heck no, traffic was a nightmare! It normally takes me about two hours to get to Mt Rainier from where I live, and where I had to stop, I was still an hour away!
Oh well, I needed to make the best of the spot I found. The location is actually "Dogwood Park," just north of the town of Eatonville. The park is located just off the side of the road next to this fantastic pasture and this spot totally worked for me! I wish I could have arrived about ten minutes sooner, as the mountain was really lighting up!
I returned to this location around midnight, as I had proceeded to Mt Rainier only to be turned around by a Park Ranger. They do not allow people inside the park due to potential avalanche danger. Well then, change of plans. I decided to set up shop above a little creek outside of the Longmire Lodge and shoot a time lapse video of the moon rise!
So After a while, I then returned to "Dogwood Park" and this great vantage point! I shot a cool time lapse of the swirling clouds and rotating stars by moonlight! I also captured the feeding habits of the horses in the pasture! I will post those later. I want you to be able to enjoy this!
This is a combination of three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I tightened the crop in Photoshop as well as ran through Topaz Adjust to bring back some detail. Highlight adjustments, noise reduction and slight added vignette added in Lightroom.
Thank you for your views, comments, and faves. I really appreciate them. I am starting to slow down a bit so that I can spend a little more time immersed inside your photostreams!

Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until 1633. From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100-year-old history, giving it a claim to having been "the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world".
Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh, the Royal Palace and the early-16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial and administrative. Some of the castle buildings house regimental museums which contribute to its presentation as a tourist attraction.
The castle, in the care of Historic Scotland, is Scotland's most-visited paid tourist attraction, with over 1.4 million visitors in 2013.
As the backdrop to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo during the annual Edinburgh International Festival the castle has become a recognisable symbol of Edinburgh and of Scotland and indeed, it is Edinburgh's most frequently visited visitor attraction—according to the Edinburgh Visitor Survey, more than 70% of leisure visitors to Edinburgh visited the castle.

And now for the rinse…
It was an absolute treat to watch a flock of some 30+ Sanderlings enjoying bath time as the small waves of Pensacola Bay rolled in just after sunrise. I’m not sure what the order represented, maybe family units, possibly some pre-conceived risk-to-reward, not too many in the water at one time for safety’s sake methodology but for some odd reason only two to three would bathe at a time. They would march out from the dry sand area about 4-5 feet, bend down with their beaks fully extended, allowing the wave to wash completely over them.
As soon as the wave passed, they would shake wildly, preening intentionally…like stinky parts…wing pits and personals…just in time to assume the position for the next wave. After 2-4 waves they would leap straight up in the air and fly back to the flock, quickly being replaced by a member of the posse.
Good clean natural adventure before dementia!

Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Hinds scrapping for herd position?
London Royal Parks
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source.
The red deer is the fourth-largest deer species behind moose, elk and sambar deer. It is a ruminant, eating its food in two stages and having an even number of toes on each hoof, like camels, goats and cattle. European red deer have a relatively long tail compared to their Asian and North American relatives. Subtle differences in appearance are noted between the various subspecies of red deer, primarily in size and antlers, with the smallest being the Corsican red deer found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the largest being the Caspian red deer (or maral) of Asia Minor and the Caucasus Region to the west of the Caspian Sea. The deer of central and western Europe vary greatly in size, with some of the largest deer found in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe.Western European red deer, historically, grew to large size given ample food supply (including people's crops), and descendants of introduced populations living in New Zealand and Argentina have grown quite large in both body and antler size. Large red deer stags, like the Caspian red deer or those of the Carpathian Mountains, may rival the wapiti in size. Female red deer are much smaller than their male counterparts.
The European red deer is found in southwestern Asia (Asia Minor and Caucasus regions), North Africa and Europe. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated land mammal still existing in Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa, with the population centred in the northwestern region of the continent in the Atlas Mountains. As of the mid-1990s, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria were the only African countries known to have red deer.
In the Netherlands, a large herd (ca. 3000 animals counted in late 2012) lives in the Oostvaarders Plassen, a nature reserve. Ireland has its own unique subspecies. In France the population is thriving, having multiplied fivefold in the last half-century, increasing from 30,000 in 1970 to approximately 160,000 in 2014. The deer has particularly expanded its footprint into forests at higher altitudes than before. In the UK, indigenous populations occur in Scotland, the Lake District, and the South West of England (principally on Exmoor). Not all of these are of entirely pure bloodlines, as some of these populations have been supplemented with deliberate releases of deer from parks, such as Warnham or Woburn Abbey, in an attempt to increase antler sizes and body weights. The University of Edinburgh found that, in Scotland, there has been extensive hybridisation with the closely related sika deer.
Several other populations have originated either with "carted" deer kept for stag hunts being left out at the end of the hunt, escapes from deer farms, or deliberate releases. Carted deer were kept by stag hunts with no wild red deer in the locality and were normally recaptured after the hunt and used again; although the hunts are called "stag hunts", the Norwich Staghounds only hunted hinds (female red deer), and in 1950, at least eight hinds (some of which may have been pregnant) were known to be at large near Kimberley and West Harling; they formed the basis of a new population based in Thetford Forest in Norfolk. Further substantial red deer herds originated from escapes or deliberate releases in the New Forest, the Peak District, Suffolk, Lancashire, Brecon Beacons, and North Yorkshire, as well as many other smaller populations scattered throughout England and Wales, and they are all generally increasing in numbers and range. A census of deer populations in 2007 and again in 2011 coordinated by the British Deer Society records the red deer as having continued to expand their range in England and Wales since 2000, with expansion most notable in the Midlands and East Anglia.

Isa Khan Niyazi was an Afghan noble in Sher Shah Suri's court of the Suri dynasty, who fought against the Mughals. His octagonal tomb, constructed in 1574, is positioned within an octagonal garden, which was built during his own lifetime and the reign of Islam Shah Suri, son of Sher Shah. It later served as a burial place for the entire family of Isa Khan. On the western side of the tomb lies a three-bay wide mosque, in red sandstone. The octagonal tomb bears a striking resemblance to other tombs of the Sur dynasty monuments in the Lodhi Gardens, in Delhi and demonstrates a marked progression in the development of the exquisite architectural style of the main tomb. Some of the architectural details present here were seen later in the main Humayun's tomb, though on a much grander scale, such as the tomb being placed in a walled garden enclosure.

Rocky formations, sea weeds all over and less known to tourist gives it kind of abandoned looks.The sand is white, the water is clear and there are a lot of corals where so many small fish and other marine animals like to hide.

This was shot on December 20, the night before winter solstice.
I waited till the last light barely sweeped the horizon and highlighted the details on the waves and pebbles at Larkollen Bay, southern Norway.
My mission was to use the light in a specific way that only the objects just above water surface was lighted, while the body of water itself was cast in shadows.
A tribute to winter solstice you might say ;-)
The winter solstice (vintersolverv) occurs at the instant when the Sun's position in the sky is at it`s greatest angular distance on the other side of the equatorial plane from the observer's hemisphere. This means that from now, the days will be gradually have longer periods of daylight.
Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time.
The word solstice derives from Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still).
I wish peace and happiness to every living being.

As the summer heat builds up and the heart of the Milky Way takes the C-position in the night sky, it's a great time to go "salvaging" all kinds of summer-exclusive deep-sky treasures from the sky.
In the constellation of Sagittarius, where the heart of the Milky Way is located, there is this pair of nebulae that are very impressive. The large one on the left, ranked eighth in Messier's catalog, is called the Lagoon Nebula; the small one on the lower right ranked twentieth in Messier's catalog, is called the Trifid Nebula.
The Lagoon Nebula, one of the two star-forming nebulae visible to the naked eye in the northern hemisphere, is between 4000 and 6000 light-years from Earth. It is a region of ionized hydrogen and is pink in color. On closer inspection, the nebula is also studded with dark spherical grains called Bok globulars. These are dense, dark clouds that are impervious to light, and you can imagine them as insect "cocoons" where new stars are being born. The nebula also interacts with the brightest stars in it, forming a spectacular tornado-like structure.
The Trifid Nebula, also a star-forming region, is not visible to the naked eye at a distance of about 4,100 light-years from Earth. It is less grand than the Lagoon Nebula but more detailed. It has both the pink color of the excited ionized hydrogen region, the blue color of the reflected starlight, and the opaque dark nebula that cuts the main body into three pieces, which is also the origin of the name of the Trifid Nebula.
