Twilight Over Jiufen — Taiwan's Mountain Jewel

Description:

As the sun sets over the northeastern coast of Taiwan, Jiufen’s rooftops begin to glow in warm golden tones. From the hills to the horizon, the scene unfolds with layers of color, shadow, and sea — a timeless view that captures the soul of this iconic mountain town.

We are lucky enough to have a few gorgeous days recently. What a calm and refreshing evening I enjoyed when strolling in Vanier Park! There may not be splendid clouds drifting by, but the quietness of the wind and the peacefulness in the air is something I will always remember of that particular evening! :-)

Sunset from Böhm's Zederberg Country House

Pratt Wayne Woods - Wayne, Illinois

These geese were coming in for a landing but have you ever wondered about the V formation they make when they are all flying overhead? Here are some intersting facts I found on the web:

When a goose leaves the formation he feels the resistance of the air and the difficulties of flying alone,

then, he quickly comes back to the formation to take advantage of the flock’s power in front of him.

When the leader goose gets tired of flying he goes to the end of the “V” formation. While another goose takes the lead.

The geese flying in a “V” formation quack to encourage the ones in the front.

In that way, they keep the same speed.

As each goose flaps its wings it creates an UPLIFT for the birds that follow. By flying in a 'V' formation the whole flock adds 71 percent extra to the flying range.

When a goose gets sick, is injured or gets tired and he must leave the formation, other geese leave the formation too, and they fly with him to help him out and protect him. They remain with him until he dies or he is able to fly again. They reach their bevy or they just make another “V” formation.

Have a great weekend everyone :-)

"Oh Play Me That Mountain Music" is reminiscent of growing up in the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Tennessee and Western North Carolina. The days are long, and the sunsets are beyond stunning. The beautiful glow of the sunset above the haze of the blue ridges is often breathtaking.

No time to go out to shoot it....but we had company , and the company was good...and the food was fine...and I have lots of good leftovers for today...and no complaints !!!

This morning found us in sunshine...a view of our guest bedroom..... with a basket made by my friend Mary, for our daughter's wedding...almost 23 years ago ( Mary died in 2011...I often think of her...)

...then some old pillows I made when I first learned to quilt, over 20 years ago....and one new one... bought just a couple of years ago.... done by one of San Blas indigenous Cuna women of Panama...marvellous reverse applique'.... a modern treasure, done to an old tradition, showing the utmost skill.... and colour sense....I love it ! Can you tell ?

A charming Mediterranean town nestled between rolling green hills under the soft light of sunset. The view captures the town's historic stone buildings, tiled roofs, and a prominent ancient watchtower rising above the rooftops. The lush green hills in the background provide a serene contrast, while the town's whitewashed buildings reflect the warm glow of the setting sun. This peaceful scene evokes the tranquil beauty and timeless allure of small coastal towns.

The sun goes down over Siblyback Lake in Cornwall after a beautiful day.

Perched on a vast hilltop in Chittorgarh, the majestic Chittorgarh Fort stands as one of India’s most powerful symbols of valor and sacrifice. Spread across nearly 700 acres, it served as the historic capital of the Sisodia Rajputs of Mewar and has witnessed some of the fiercest battles in Indian history. Believed to have origins in the 7th century, the fort evolved over time into a formidable stronghold, protected by massive stone walls, seven grand gateways, and an intricate system of water reservoirs that sustained life during long sieges.

Inside the fort lies a rich tapestry of history, architecture, and legend. The towering Vijay Stambh rises as a tribute to victory and pride, while the elegant Padmini Palace echoes stories of honor and intrigue. The fort is also closely associated with Rani Padmini and the heroic tales of jauhar, as well as the spiritual legacy of Meera Bai. Walking through its expansive grounds, one feels a deep connection to its past, where every stone carries echoes of courage, devotion, and an unyielding spirit that continues to define its identity.

The Flying Dutchman, according to folklore, is a ghost ship that can never go home, doomed to sail the oceans forever. The Flying Dutchman is usually spotted from far away, sometimes glowing with ghostly light. It is said that if hailed by another ship, its crew will try to send messages to land or to people long dead. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is a portent of doom.

We stayed directly in Times Square and could see building after building while in our room. It also had to be the highest floor up I had ever stayed in.

Wrapped in the embrace of Paris, our love story unfolds like a masterpiece, each moment a brushstroke on the canvas of eternity.
