Þingvellir National Park with Öxará river and Althing, the national parliament of Iceland. It's one of that famous places "must to visit" in Golden Circle, Iceland.
Þingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological importance and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. It lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
The Althing, the national parliament of Iceland, was established at Þingvellir in 930, and held its sessions there until 1798. Þingvellir National Park was founded in 1930 and became a World Heritage Site in 2004.
Thank you all for the SL group invites, very much appreciated.

The Scheuchenberg is a wooded mountain ridge stretching from east to west on the Danube rift valley near Donaustauf in the district of Regensburg. As the steep slopes were difficult to use, extremely species-rich habitats have developed there, with endemic plant species and rare animals such as nightjars and fire salamanders. These steep slopes of the Donaurandbruch are overgrown with sparse oak forests. The growth of the trees is poor, often only very sparse stands of stunted oaks thrive. These make for very interesting photo opportunities, especially when they are covered in hoarfrost.
Der Scheuchenberg ist ein in Ost-West-Ausrichtung gestreckter, bewaldeter Bergrücken am Donaurandbruch bei Donaustauf im Landkreis Regensburg. Da die Steilhänge schwer zu nutzen waren, haben sich dort ungemein artenreiche Lebensräume entwickelt, mit endemischen Pflanzenarten und seltenen Tieren wie Ziegenmelker und Feuersalamander. Diese Steillagen des Donaurandbruches sind mit lichten Eichenwäldern bewachsen. Das Wachstum der Bäume ist schlecht, häufig gedeihen nur sehr lichte Krüppeleichen-Bestände. Diese ergeben sehr interessante Fotomotive, insbesondere wenn sie von Raureif überzogen sind.

Well it was when I took the shot , back in January 2024 ! The ice formation on my car , a Rifter , created such a fascinating pattern of the ice formation it needed a shot , although , it has taken me nearly a year to get round to posting it !!
With a surface area of 10 km² Kleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula and 3rd largest in southern Iceland. With a depth of 97 meters, it is one of the deepest lakes it Iceland. Kleifarvatn is located on the fissure zone of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that comes on to Iceland. The lake has very little visible water coming into or going out of it as most of its water comes and leaves underground. In the southernmost part of the lake, hot water from hot springs runs into the lake’s waters but elsewhere the lake is very cold. On old Viking/ Icelandic legend says that a Nesse-like monster in the shape of a worm and size of a medium sized whale lives in the lake.
After the 2000 Iceland earthquakes, the lake began to diminish in size. The lake has lost over 20% of its surface since the earthquake. This phenomena is the backdrop for a 2004 crime novel, Kleifarvatn (The Draining Lake) by Icelandic writer Arnaldur Indriðason. In the novel, the dropping water level reveals a body long hidden in the lake.

Very clearly a rift in the space time continuum. Evidenced by an example of rotating the picture (go ahead, tilt your head, see the rotation). You'll note that, indeed, the picture seems to be fine at nearly any rotation. An obvious sign of a fissure in the space-time continuum.
And if you peer real close, you can see spaceships and stagecoaches dueling it out deep in the bright white heart of the door.
Monkey Day is an unofficial international holiday celebrated on December 14. The holiday was created and popularized in 2000 by artists Casey Sorrow and Eric Millikin when they were art students at Michigan State University. Monkey Day celebrates monkeys and "all things simian", including other non-human primates such as apes, tarsiers, and lemurs. Monkey Day is celebrated worldwide and often also known as World Monkey Day and International Monkey Day.
The Olive Baboon (Papio anubis), also called the Anubis baboon, is a member of the family Cercopithecidae (Old World monkeys). It inhabits savannahs, steppes, and forests. The common name is derived from its coat color, which is a shade of green-grey at a distance. A variety of communications, vocal and non-vocal, facilitate a complex social structure. The Olive Baboons of Africa are one of the most successful primate species in the wild today.
They are found in large numbers on the African savannahs and in forests steppe. Their close-knitted social lifestyle is a key factor enabling them to survive the harsh lands of Africa.
These Old World Monkeys form troops that can be up to 150 members strong. Together they can be highly aggressive towards any potential threat.
