The city is crowded
My friends are away and I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you've gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you've gone

The Auburn Botanical Gardens in Sydney (NSW, Australia) will be holding the Cherry Blossom festival on the weekend of the 20th-21st August 2016. As the visitor numbers are expected to exceed 40,000 people, I decided to get in a day early to try and beat the crowds and see the flowers in bloom before the crowds. The gardens were still quite busy. This is a shot of the Japanese Garden area.
Das Radom oben am Gipfel der Wasserkuppe (950 m) ist ein Relikt des Kalten Krieges. Wir befinden uns hier keine 10 km vom ehemaligen "Eisernen Vorhang" entfernt. NATO-Stragen waren sich über Jahrzehnte einig: sollte der Warschauer Pakt versuchen die NATO anzugreifen (entsprechende Strategien sind nachweislich, von beiden Seiten), dann genau hier, am sogenannten "Fulda Gap".

The radome at the top of the Wasserkuppe (950 m) is a relic of the Cold War. We are located here less than 10 km from the former "Iron Curtain." NATO allies have agreed for decades: if the Warsaw Pact attempts to attack NATO (there are demonstrable strategies on both sides), it will happen right here, at the so-called "Fulda Gap."

St. Leonard's church sits overlooking this pond in Hampshire and while I was there the amount of monster sized fish (carp) that I saw was incredible. Thrashing tails would break the surface occasionally and others would just glide by in plain view. I was very lucky tonight to get such good conditions for shooting even if it wasn't the most spectacular sunset there were some nice clouds to break up the sky and it was such a peaceful setting in the middle of the English countryside. I also had the great pleasure of meeting John, also a flickr user, and we had a chat for a little while as the sun finally disappeared from view. Good times.
Las Marianas es una localidad argentina del partido de Navarro, Provincia de Buenos Aires.
No muchos sabrán que el paisaje de fondo que utiliza León Gieco en la portada de su álbum “Bandidos Rurales” (tambien el video) www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx_XyKo70d4
corresponde a Las Marianas, un pueblito tranquilo a 30 km de Navarro, cuyo acceso es un camino de tierra que contornea las vías de un ferrocarril que ya no funciona. Por él transitan a diario algunos de los 500 habitantes que la pueblan.
Fue fundada en el año 1908, un 29 de diciembre por Eduardo Vidal y lleva este nombre por un importante establecimiento ganadero del lugar. En sus orígenes, Las Marianas fue una zona pujante y giraba en torno a la estación de ferrocarril ya que a través de él, se desarrollaba su actividad comercial: acopiadores de cereal, productos de granja, apicultores y criadores de aves. También había importantes fabricas de crema, queso y manteca y numerosos tambos que le dieron vida a la zona.
Hoy es un pueblo tranquilo, su plaza principal arbolada junto a la que se levanta la capilla Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús, el bar-almacén El Recreo, el almacén y panadería El Porvenir, que funciona a leña y con equipamiento Siam Di tella, donde para epoca de reyes continúan preparando roscas (hace tanto que no escuchaba sobre esta tradición para reyes) son algunos de los iconos. No se pueden perder el pan casero y los pastelitos.
Tal vez no cuente con muchos puntos de interés para recorrer, pero su gente le da valor agregado a la visita, la cordialidad con la que tratan al visitante hace que se transforme en un verdadero viaje en el tiempo.
Las Marianas resulta una opción muy elegida por los amantes de Mountain-bike, como da cuenta los innumerables relatos que podrán encontrar en Internet, alguno de los cuales (www.alepolvorines.com.ar) sirve de guía para otros amantes: los del ferrocarril, que van en busca de las estaciones que ya en el olvido, solo están presente en la memoria de los viejos pobladores del lugar.corresponde a Las Marianas, un pueblito tranquilo a 30 km de Navarro, cuyo acceso es un camino de tierra que contornea las vías de un ferrocarril que ya no funciona.

Very few things beat sitting at the beach on a warm summers afternoon, looking out over the beautiful Salish Sea. No whales today unfortunately but lots of other things to entertain.
In pitch black I drove 1 hour to the southern parts of Skåne to see the sunrise, but the clouds stole it from me. but then I spotted these stones, forming such a nice pattern and just had to shoot them, sunrise or not.

The Flatirons are rock formations in the western United States, near Boulder, Colorado, consisting of flatirons. There are five large, numbered Flatirons ranging from north to south (First through Fifth, respectively) along the east slope of Green Mountain
Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed.

Podyjí National Park (Czech: Národní park Podyjí) is a national park in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It protects near-natural forests along the deep Dyje River valley. It is a biom whose well-preserved state is unique in Central Europe. It connects to the smaller Nationalpark Thayatal in Austria.
Podyjí National Park is characterized by extraordinary scenery, being home to features such as rocky amphitheatres, cliffs, meanders, detritus fields, impervious ravines, several types of heatland adorned with muilti-coloured layers of thermophilic plants, or alluvial plains around the river Dyje. The division of the valley along the river Dyje creates two distinctive ecological regions and thus contributes to the high biological diversity of the park.

Did make a weekend (boat) trip across the Podyjí national park in late October to find it empty and silent on and around the Dyje river.
We were lucky with the weather: peak of autumn colours and delicate sunlight created a really fairy-tale atmosphere. It was (sometimes) cold on the river, however still very beautiful.
