The saints are watching over you in Wurzburg, Germany...
“The Alte Mainbrücke is the oldest bridge over the Main in Würzburg. In the 18th century, twelve sand statues of saints and rulers were built on the bridge.
The bridge was built in 1476 on the site of an old stone bridge from 1120. Until 1886, the building was the only crossing to the other side of the river in the city. The bridge is 185 meters long and its lintels 4.5 meters high.”

Lone tree near Blà Bheinn, Isle of Skye
Another 'shout out' to Skyeweasel for showing me this tree. You can shoot it from any angle but this is the one I preferred. It seemed the branches somewhat mirrored the shape of the mountains in the background. The snow on the top was a real bonus for me.
I took a whole load of single shots with the 15-35mm lens but in Landscape I couldn't get the height I wanted and in portrait I could not get the width. I took a chance with shooting a 5 shot pano with a lot of overlap as there was a very slight breeze. I had to do a very small amount of blending with a single image where the ends of a branch had moved slightly but hope I spotted it all and have 'fixed' it. Let me know if you spot anything which I've missed.
Even if I say so myself I really liked the scene and another big thank you Louise for showing it to me.

I captured these almost-black clouds rolling in from Lake Huron near Kincardine, Ontario. A few minutes later we were caught in a torrential downpour with hail so hard that I thought the car would be dented. As the storm moved west over the next 30 minutes, it generated a tornado that destroyed homes and barns in Teviotdale, Ontario.

Even the slightest sentinel echoed !
I preferred another way, to go home ...
Take care all and have a good start into the weekend!!
i realize that i have not written much here over the past few years. and i am a writer, first and foremost. how odd, to have abandoned the opportunity to paint with words, with sounds and rhythms, offer a complement to the images. so ...
i suppose if you are the kind of person who has a predilection for words, then you will read further. if not, well, there are many images in this stream (including this one, i hope) that speak their own language. :)
i have walked this path, this sentiero. i have walked it, felt the cold autumn air wash over me, the warmth of the sun on my face. i have seen deer bounding across the crests of the hills and pheasants skittering across the surface of the deeply plowed earth, the clay, the crete senesi. i have stood in the midst of this great space, small, very small amidst the waves of autumn blues and greys. i have felt this place, experienced it. and forgotten it. it takes so little time for memories to fade. it takes a conscious effort to preserve them. i work diligently to live in the moment, so diligently at times that i forget. and while the present is the only reality, the past does provide its context, the future does offer some hope, and my memory, though fallible, is not simply a nostalgic salve to ease my aging mind. it's a part of who i am, what i am likely to become.
i have walked this path, seen it anew. and remembered.

The Atchafalaya Basin, or Atchafalaya Swamp (/əˌtʃæfəˈlaɪə/; Louisiana French: L'Atchafalaya, [latʃafalaˈja]), is the largest wetland and swamp in the United States. Located in south central Louisiana, it is a combination of wetlands and river delta area where the Atchafalaya River and the Gulf of Mexico converge. The river stretches from near Simmesport in the north through parts of eight parishes to the Morgan City southern area.
The Atchafalaya is different among Louisiana basins because it has a growing delta system with wetlands that are almost stable. The basin contains about 70% forest habitat and about 30% marsh and open water. It contains the largest contiguous block of forested wetlands remaining (about 35%) in the lower Mississippi River valley and the largest block of floodplain forest in the United States. Best known for its iconic cypress-tupelo swamps, at 260,000 acres (110,000 ha), this block of forest represents the largest remaining contiguous tract of coastal cypress in the United States
The weak winter sunlight filters through a misty pine wood, Thetford Forest, near Brandon, Suffolk, UK.
The sculpture is constructed in bronze and stainless steel and stands over six metres high on it’s elevated stone plinth. It overlooks the town of Westport much like a figurehead at the prow of a ship.
The Sentinel was commissioned by Westport Town Council in 2013. The sculpture depicts a spirit horse and rider and together they stand at the crossroads and point the way to the holy mountain, Croagh Patrick and beyond. They point the way for pilgrims who have journeyed to this special place for more than 500 years. They stand tall as they overlook and guard the town of Westport. The sentinel is a guardian and an angel.
It embodies a spirit of strength, fortitude and individuality. It is a figure both fierce and gentle and I believe, a suitable symbol for the enduring spirit of Westport and it’s community.

Perdonate questo mio apparire a singhiozzo, ma é davvero un periodo ormai molto lungo, colmo di tutto, unito a un momento di stanchezza generale e in particolare per Flickr che può arrivare ad assorbire molto, anche troppo del tempo che dobbiamo dedicare alla vita... vera ;)
Ma torno sempre ;)
Un carissimo saluto a chiunque passi di qui :)
