I was in the AWD`(Amsterdamse Waterleiding Duinen) last week. I just love that area.
Originally meant as a basin to collect drinking water for the big cities surrounding it, it is riddled with canals, small forests and lots of sand dunes.
It is beautiful in every season but autumn is my favorite.
The area is inhabited by many Fallow Deer. (too many, some people think). As of November large numbers of them will be shot to bring the numbers down.
I was in the area at sunrise. As the sun rose, the fog started rising over the canals. And when there is a Fallow Deer jumping over that canal with the sun as back light, it really seems like it's part of a fairy tale.

Turned a whiter shade of pale "

The Pitstone Windmill, at Ivinghoe, Buckinghamshire has stood here since 1627. It closed in 1894 when it was badly damaged in a storm.It is now fully operational again having being restored by a group of voluntary enthusiasts. A wonderful place to visit so if your ever that way do go and see it Its one of those rare somewhat hidden treasures!

The mountain town of Heiligenblut, Austria. We drove through here on our way from Salzburg to Lienz; it was just before tourist season so the whole town was amazingly peaceful. A little bit about the area:
Situated in the high-Alpine region of the Hohe Tauern mountain range at 1,288 meters, Heiligenblut is located at the foot of the Großglockner, the highest mountain in Austria, and the Pasterze Glacier. The Gothic pilgrimage church of Saint Vinzenz, with its needle spire, was built between 1460-1491 and contains a relic of Christ’s Holy Blood. According to legend the relic, which is kept in a sacrament house, was brought there in 914 from Constantinople by the Danish knight Briccius. On his way home he was buried by an avalanche and his corpse was found where three ears of wheat broke through the snow. The church also houses a late-Gothic winged altarpiece from 1520, and a crypt and tomb containing the remains of Briccius.

This well know war memorial monument is huge and makes everyone silent reading all those names of fallen heroes...
So this was my attempt for capturing this in my own style and feel...

Semiahmoo. WA. Been wanting to take better pictures of them since last year. A much improved view but still needs a huge crop to 'bring it closer'.

“Una volta la bellezza fu ospite
Della bruttezza
E si sentì brutta
Perché non riuscì a renderla
Bella come se stessa”
Ma si racconta anche:
“La bruttezza
Fu ospite della bellezza
E si sentì cosi bene
Da non essere piu brutta”
Crederò vere tutt’e due
Se in ogni paese
La fame
Sarà così spesso ospite della sazietà
Da non esserci piu
Ma un bambino
Mi ha domandato:
“La sazietà
Sazierà la fame della fame
O la divorerà?”
“Favole”, Erich Fried.

I witnessed sunset last night from this vantage point in Haleakala National Park. It was... fantastic. I thought about waiting another day to see this park, since I was running on only a tiny amount of sleep yesterday and had just arrived to the island (and it takes about two hours to drive to this place)... but, well, curiosity won out. So I spent almost four hours of driving to stand for twenty minutes in this spot. Totally. Worth it.
And then, on about five hours of sleep from last night, I woke up at 3am to make the drive up to this vantage point for sunrise. After that, I spent nine hours hiking down into the valley and around cinder cones and then back up an amazing set of switchbacks that were covered in mist and lush vegetation. It was such a crazy variety of climates in one hike.
Tomorrow will be my third day here, and I've yet to step foot on a beach or even eat local food (hiking=pb&j and granola bars). I guess you can see what my priorities are. Nothing says "vacation" more to me than grueling days out on new and exciting trails. :-)
