"For thousands of years one of Iceland’s largest rivers, Jokulsa a Fjollum, (The Glacier River from the Mountains) has continued to flow from under the Vatnajokull glacier ice cap. It winds its way through a landscape of diverse aspects for a distance of 206 km, runs north to the sea and empties at Oxarfjordur bay. Besides being the country’s second longest river, its catchment area is the largest of all. North of Vatnajokull, the river crosses a barren, gently sloping plateau, but the current gains speed towards the edge of the highlands, where powerful waterfalls drop into the canyon. On its long journey, the river has carved numerous channels into the highland bedrock and to the west of Holsfjoll it cascades from a tall rocky ledge, forming the huge waterfall Dettifoss, plunging into magnificent canyons which extend all the way down to the bridge over the river on highway 85" (from Extreme Iceland)

A panoramic view of the shoreline at the Salton Sea at Salt Creek. There were about five different species of Seagulls along with many many other shore birds. With the level of this sea going down dramatically it will be sad for the birds as the salinity increases to levels that will not support even the Talapia, the only fish that can tolerate the saline level now.

But I could take 500 shots,
And I would take 500 more,
Just to be the man who took a thousand shots,
To fall down at your door.

From Wikipedia:
Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, One Thousand Museum was Zaha Hadid's first residential tower in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the final projects designed by Hadid in her lifetime. It was designed in association with O’Donnell Dannwolf Partners Architects, a local architecture firm.
A notable feature of the building is the curving exoskeleton, allowing the interior space to have fewer columns. The exoskeleton is composed of 5,000 pieces of glass fiber reinforced concrete. These pieces were shipped from Dubai early in the construction process. The exoskeleton is located in front of a glass facade.

Even sunny day, Inside is still low light,
Higher ISO is need.

Hope you like it.

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars.
They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles.

A crying Rose.
The best roses come from my own garden, more fragrant and more opulent they are.
Monochromatic? Not really he? All the shades of grey... from a true black to white... as it should be!
A flower image in b&w...
I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stems their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasised without the colour.
Don't you agree?

Venerable Anthony Pecherskyi is a church figure of Kyivan Rus, a Christian saint. The founder of the Cave Monastery of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the builder of the Cathedral in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
«Antony, who came to the Kyiv hill, where there was nothing, made a vision of what should appear here, and it has been working for a thousand years. We still honor Saint Anthony.
......
Once upon a time, someone listened to Antony, gave him land, resources, people went to him - and we see the Lavra today."
/Maxim Ostapenko - director of "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra", 17.10.2024/
Преподобний Антоній Печерський — церковний діяч Київської Русі, християнський святий. Засновник Печерського Монастиря Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці та будівничий Собору на честь Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці.
«Наша пам'ять – це така дивна річ, яка дозволяє нам бути, дозволяє нашому суспільству відчувати себе повноцінним. Війна, яка зараз відбувається, значною мірою є війною за нашу пам'ять. Ворог намагається її зачистити. Наш ворог приділяє історичній пам'яті, нашій ідентичності набагато більше уваги, ніж ми самі їй приділяли. Зараз точиться не тільки кінетична війна, а ми знаходимося в самому епіцентрі семантичної війни. Політика пам'яті, політика переосмислення нашої місії, нашого місця у світі, яке зараз відбувається через біль та страждання, змінює нас і наше усвідомлення. Тому треба приділити меморіалізації набагато більше уваги на державному рівні. Я розумію, що це зараз дуже важко робити на тлі новин з фронту, загиблих і тих страждань, які відбуваються. Але саме за пам'ять ведеться війна. І кожен із нас має стати тим банком даних, банком інформації, який понесе свою особисту пам'ять.
Антоній, який прийшов на київський пагорб, де не було нічого, зробив візію того, що тут має постати, і це працює тисячу років. Ми досі шануємо преподобного Антонія.
......
Колись хтось послухав Антонія, надав йому землю, ресурси, до нього пішли люди – і ми бачимо сьогодні Лавру.»
/Максим Остапенко - директор "Києво-Печерської лаври", 17.10.2024/
* Семантична війна — концептуальна війна за сенси і перспективи майбутнього: конструктивні, мережеві, загальнолюдські.
Excerpt from miyajima.or.jp/english/spot/spot_other.html:
Designated as a National Important Cultural Property on August 29, 1910
Hokoku Shrine is dedicated to the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi (one of the three unifiers of Japan in the 16th century) and his loyal aid Kato Kiyomasa. The reason for building this structure is clearly stated in a letter by Ankokuji Ekei, head monk of Ankokuji Temple. In 1587, Ekei asked Daiganji Temple, the temple in charge of construction and repair work in Miyajima including Itsukushima Shrine, to build a Buddhist library in which the chanting of Senbu-kyo sutras could be held every month. As there is no board ceiling or outer gate, it is believed that the construction of the building was not completed.
Originally, Amida Buddha and two subordinate Buddhist saints, Anan and Kasho-sonja, were enshrined in the Buddhist altar until the early Meiji era. Since that time, however, the altar has been used in Shinto rituals.
The building is called Senjokaku (Hall of One Thousand Tatami Mats), reflecting its standing as the largest structure on Miyajima Island. The shrine was a popular landmark in Miyajima where many people came to relax and cool themselves and to buy popular souvenirs such as tooth picks, and a variety of legends and traditions have been created here.
The fact that this structure, unique among the buildings belonging to Itsukushima Shrine, is unpainted and that its exact date of founding is recorded makes it a valuable gauge of the passage of time. The traces of weathering on its pillars and floor boards can be used to determine the approximate age of any other wooden structure on Miyajima.
A piece of wood used as a measuring device in the reconstruction work of the O-Torii in 1873 hangs on a pillar under the floor of the south part of the shrine. Countless votive picture tablets that had been hanging on the walls of Itsukushima Shrine buildings until the mid Meiji era decorate the walls inside the hall.
The shrine did not yet exist at the time of the Battle of Itsukushima in 1555 when the Mori clan defeated the Sue clan to unify the Chugoku region. The headquarters of the Sue clan was located on this hill, which was then called To-no-oka (Pagoda Hill). Starting in the Meiji era, the hill was developed through the establishment of stone steps, among other additions.
Excerpt from www.japan-experience.com/all-about-japan/miyajima/temples...:
Its bare appearance may not intrigue you at first. Only unfinished walls and a hundred pillars. Although the building is pretty, there is something missing. But once inside, look up: the gigantic ceiling is covered with a mosaic of paintings whose subjects are as varied as the styles and periods of implementation. Medieval battles, Buddhist representations, landscapes and animals in a modern style, the eye does not know where to turn.

Thousands of people, mainly representatives of Berlin’s Russian population, met on 9 May 2020 at the Soviet Memorial in Treptower Park, marking 75 years since the Nazis' unconditional surrender. From the early hours of the morning until late in the evening, they commemorated the end of World War II and the countless victims of this devastating war.
There are hardly any veterans left who could tell about their wartime experiences. In the meantime, their grandchildren have taken over the conductorship in these celebrations, some of them with touching gratefulness and respect, some others in a rather playful tune. But there are also several illustrious and disconcerting individuals and groups who, under the guise of commemoration, are spreading nationalist, history-distorting and war-glorifying slogans. In the emotionally charged memory of a day when peace returned to Europe, they scatter the seeds of new conflicts and confrontations.
My photo story "Victory Day" documents an experience between emotion and scepticism, between grateful remembrance and exuberant party atmosphere.

PURE PLAY, inspired by the setting sun. There is hardly any practical functionality in this behaviour of wild geese. The end of the first March day this year.
Took my old E-M1 gen.1 with me, with stills on my mind. The camera has poor video, but the scene was irresistible.
Wild geese make a distinct sound and have a demeanour which is not always the same. I often hear them at night, when they fly in small groups low above my flat 25 m high. Then it's more like navigating, a kind of sound radar. Or encouraging each other. Yesterday evening (5 March) I was late coming back from the river shore, and the geese had been conspicuously calm for an hour... when I was at the middle of that big field, it was almost completely dark already. Camera already packed in my bag. Then something like exploded. The whole flock of around thousand wild geese put up a play for me. They suddenly burst into flight from the field on my right hand side and came right above my head over to the other side of the field where they landed. It was the sound of a thunder, all those huge wings flapping and the geese honking and calling. Like fff tutti of a large symphony orchestra. There were many more birds than could fit in the lens. –Maybe I should take a sound recorder with me the next time... :)))

California's Mossbrae Falls is almost like the shorter cousin of Burney Falls, though it is no less beautiful. Thin drips of water just seems to ooze out of the moss and vegetation covered rock wall and into the creek that parallels the waterfall. The composition here isn't very obvious at first glance, as the waterfall is quite broad. One approach is to take detail shots of the beautiful drips of water. Here I decided to do a vertical composition to include the creek rushing down to meet the falls.

The Thousand Islands International Bridge (French: Pont des Mille-îles) is an American-maintained international bridge system over the Saint Lawrence River connecting northern New York in the United States with southeastern Ontario in Canada. Constructed in 1937, with additions in 1959, the bridges span the Canada–US border in the middle of the Thousand Islands region. All bridges in the system carry two lanes of traffic, one in each direction, with pedestrian sidewalks.
The Thousand Islands International Bridge system is a series of five bridges[3] spanning the St. Lawrence River. From south to north ... (Wikipedia)
