California coastal redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) are among the longest living (1,200 to 1,800) years and the tallest, living trees (up to 379 feet).
When a “mother tree” dies, the underground roots spread out and sprout new trees after the tree’s death, growing to be as tall as the mother tree and they become a “fairy ring”
This ring is at the Armstrong Redwood Park, North of Guerneville, Sonoma County CA
Quietly sailing away towards the sun ... To all of you I wish a great week. Enjoy!

Wasserburg am Inn bietet mit seiner landschaftlichen Lage eine Besonderheit: Die Altstadt liegt auf einer vom Inn fast vollständig (zu ca. 7/8) umflossenen Halbinsel, die nur über eine schmale Landzunge erreichbar ist. Vom gegenüberliegenden bis zu 70 Meter hohen Steilufer, der Innleiten, überblickt man die ganze Altstadt mit ihrer bis ins Mittelalter zurückreichenden Bausubstanz.
Wie am Grundriss der Altstadt und dem nach außen abnehmenden Alter der Bausubstanz unschwer zu erkennen ist, ist die Halbinsel im Lauf der vergangenen Jahrhunderte stetig nach Osten und Norden gewachsen, während der Inn das gegenüberliegende Steilufer abgetragen hat.
Dieser Prozess kam erst mit der Befestigung der Ufer im Rahmen des Kraftwerksbaus am Inn in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts zum Stillstand. Auf alten Stadtansichten und Fotografien ist dementsprechend zu sehen, dass der gegenüberliegende Prallhang bis vor wenigen Jahrzehnten praktisch nicht bewachsen war, während er heute weitgehend bewaldet ist.
Entsprechend der geringen Höhe des angeschwemmten Landes gegenüber dem starken Schwankungen unterliegenden Wasserspiegel des Inns wurden weite Teile der Altstadt bei Hochwasser regelmäßig unter Wasser gesetzt, bis dies durch den Bau der Hochwasserfreilegung 1986 bislang unterbunden werden konnte.

Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for your visit and support ..

28COM 14B.51 - Nominations of Cultural Properties to the World Heritage List (Val d'Orcia)
Val d'Orcia
The landscape of Val d’Orcia is part of the agricultural hinterland of Siena, redrawn and developed when it was integrated in the territory of the city-state in the 14th and 15th centuries to reflect an idealized model of good governance and to create an aesthetically pleasing picture. The landscape’s distinctive aesthetics, flat chalk plains out of which rise almost conical hills with fortified settlements on top, inspired many artists. Their images have come to exemplify the beauty of well-managed Renaissance agricultural landscapes. The inscription covers: an agrarian and pastoral landscape reflecting innovative land-management systems; towns and villages; farmhouses; and the Roman Via Francigena and its associated abbeys, inns, shrines, bridges, etc.
Justification for Inscription.
Criterion (iv): The Val d’Orcia is an exceptional reflection of the way the landscape was re-written in Renaissance times to reflect the ideals of good governance and to create an aesthetically pleasing pictures.
Criterion (vi): The landscape of the Val d’Orcia was celebrated by painters from the Siennese School, which flourished during the Renaissance. Images of the Val d’Orcia, and particularly depictions of landscapes where people are depicted as living in harmony with nature, have come to be seen as icons of the Renaissance and have profoundly influenced the development of landscape thinking.

Skatet Beach, Orleans - One of the wonderful things about a bay beach at low tide is that you can walk out quite a distance from the shore. Here you'll notice people far away from the beach.

African sunsets are unique, unforgettable, grandiose like its continent they give you the feeling of peace and freedom. So I pay homage to my beloved Africa this way.

I saw this beautiful fresco of a sundial (working) at a baroque castel in Bohemia - ;Dobris Castel - the 18th century gaves us so many things, as well at the very end the "Rights of Man" .. and as time goes by I wonder sometimes where those rights are.

A pristine sunshine week for high-altitude backcountry snowshoeing and ski touring after a spectacular 80-centimetre dry-powder dump in the Pacific coastal mountains of southern British Columbia. Noritsu Kiki digital film scan.
This is Callaghan Country (1370 m, 4459 ft), a spectacular upper-mountain valley and wilderness terrain with old-growth forests, lush alpine meadows and pristine lakes - surrounded by huge snowfields, stunning glaciers, majestic peaks and the omnipresent Powder Mountain Massif overhead.
The small glacier-fed stream below leads to pristine Conflict Lake in the Upper Callaghan Basin. Classic coast mountain country.
