This very chaotic landscape of the Valle del Arcoiris is the result of the erosion that has carved this impressive canyon.

This particular area of the Bay of Fundy receives the worlds highest tides!
Lots of photos for yall today...this should be the last one for the day though.

#Laowa
Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5mm F/2
It's been a while since I've uploaded anything but images for Macro Mondays, and since I also didn't really have time for taking my photo for this Monday's "Currency" MM theme, this is my substitute Monday upload: an image that I've taken of the small, but very "pretty in flashy pink" staircase at the Futurium that leads up to the so called "Skywalk", a panorama walk on the Futurium's roof that offers a very nice view across Berlin's government district (please see the first comment). I've taken this image with the tiny Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5 mm ultra wide-angle lens that isn't quite as wide as the fabulous M.Zuiko 7-14mm, but is definitely capable of much, much nicer aperture stars.
"Kaleidoscoped" to bring out the fun pareidolia that is apparently hidden in that staircase – and seriously, have you ever seen such charmingly "angry" stairs? It would explain the pink "complexion", though ;)
Have a nice week ahead, dear Flickr friends!
The Soča (pronounced [ˈsoːtʃa] in Slovene) or Isonzo (pronounced [iˈzontso] in Italian) (other names Friulian: Lusinç, archaic German: Sontig, Latin: Aesontius or Isontius[2]) is a 138-kilometre (86 mi) long river that flows through western Slovenia (96 kilometres or 60 miles) and northeastern Italy (43 kilometres or 27 miles).[3]
An Alpine river in character, its source lies in the Trenta Valley in the Julian Alps in northwestern Slovenia, at an elevation of 876 metres (2,874 ft).[3] The river runs past the towns of Bovec, Kobarid, Tolmin, Kanal ob Soči, Nova Gorica (where it is crossed by the Solkan Bridge), and Gorizia, entering the Adriatic Sea close to the town of Monfalcone. It has a nival-pluvial regime in its upper course and pluvial-nival in its lower course.[4]
Prior to the First World War the river formed part of the border between Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and during that conflict was the scene of bitter fighting between the two countries, culminating in the Battle of Caporetto in 1917.
Due to its emerald-green water, the river is marketed as "The Emerald Beauty." It is said to be one of the rare rivers in the world that retain such a colour throughout their length.[8] Giuseppe Ungaretti, one of the greatest Italian poets, describes the Isonzo in the poem "The Rivers."
The Soča inspired the poet Simon Gregorčič to write his best-known poem Soči (To the Soča), one of the masterpieces of Slovene poetry. This region served as a location for the 2008 Disney film Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.[9]
The Soča is also well known for its unique trout species Salmo marmoratus (known as the marble trout), which lives in the upper course of the crystal-clear river. This species is endangered due to the introduction of other non-indigenous trout species sometime between World War I and World War II.

This is my personal "Best Shot of 2020". Taken during a visit at the Olympiastadion Berlin in September which also had been my only real photowalk in 2020. While the image in the first comment might be a little more compelling, because it shows the historical Olympic cauldron of the Olympic Summer Games of 1936 and also the interesting-looking open part of the roof of the Olympic stadium, this image includes the two things that made an already wonderful day special – and one of them also is a symbol for the changes the Corona pandemic has brought to our lives. The image of the Olympic cauldron was taken from the exact opposite position of this photo; while we were at the Olympic cauldron (here you can't see it, but you can see the marathon gate below the tall, slim bell tower), I noticed that all of a sudden a larger group of teenagers and children appeared at the opposite entrance of the stadium. I wondered what was going on, because I couldn't imagine that in those pandemic times there would be any school field trips. And soon it became clear what this was all about, because once the children had taken their places, they started to warm up by singing scales: This was a choir practice :) Of course I tried to find out which choir it was that got the marvellous opportunity to practice in the empty stadium, with enough, safe distance to each other, so I searched for "choir practice at the Olympiastadion" later and learned that this was the youth and children's choir of the Deutsche Oper Berlin (STRG/CTRL+ www.berlin-buehnen.de/en/theatres/deutsche-oper-berlin/). Here you can read more about this unusual collaboration if you like: STRG/CTRL+ olympiastadion.berlin/en/news/children-choir/.
And so the rest of our photowalk was accompanied by beautiful singing which tremendously added to the elated, relaxed, literally free mood of that day :) What a wonderful, unexpected gift which was made even better by that wonderful sunset we saw when we went back into the stadium for a few last shots: This was my personal "Wow moment" of 2020 :)
Dear Flickr, friends, I wish you a Happy and Healthy 2021! Let's hope that, step by step, the "new normal" will eventually be replaced by our old normal, at least a little bit :)
Für mich mein schönstes Foto des Jahres 2020. Aufgenommen im September im Berliner Olympastadion, das herrlich leer gewesen war an jenem Tag, sodass wir unbeschwert nach Fotomotiven suchen konnten. Das Foto im ersten Kommentar, das die Original-Feuerschale der Sommerspiele von 1936 und den interessanten offenen Teil der Dachkonstruktion zeigt, ist vielleicht das spannendere Bild, aber es zeigt nicht die zwei Dinge, die diesen ohnehin schon tollen Spätsommer-Tag zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht haben: Als wir bei der Feuerschale waren, die sich exakt gegenüber von dem Stadion-Eingang befindet, von dem ich später dieses Foto gemacht habe, sah ich auf einmal eine ziemlich große Grupper Kinder und Jugendlicher ins Stadion kommen, was mich doch wunderte, weil ich mir kaum vorstellen konnte, dass in Pandemie-Zeiten größere Schulausflüge möglich sein würden. Des Rätsels Lösung: Sobald die Kinder alle ihre Plätze eingenommen hatten, fingen sie auch schon an, sich einzusingen. Und nicht etwa mit Fußballgesängen ;) Es fand eine Chorprobe im Olympiastadion statt, dem zu normalen Zeiten wohl unwahrscheinlichsten Ort zumindest für klassische Chorgesänge, zu Corona-Zeiten aber wie dafür gemacht: mit recht guter Akustik und genügend freier Fläche, um mit Abstand und dennoch gemeinsam singen zu können. Ich habe dann später recherchiert, welcher Chor das wohl gewesen sein könnte; es handelte sich um den Kinder- und Jugendchor der Deutschen Oper Berlin: STRG/CTRL+ olympiastadion.berlin/de/neuigkeiten/kinderchor/.
Was für eine tolle, fast schon surreale Atmosphäre das war, der dann zum Schluss auch noch der herrliche Sonnenuntergang mit diesem typisch goldenen Septemberlicht die Krone aufsetzte :) Mein persönlicher "Wow-Moment" des daran gewiss nicht reichen Jahres 2020 :)
Ich wünsche Euch allen ein gesundes und, trotz aller Ein- und Beschränkungen, die uns wohl noch eine ganze Weile begleiten werden, schönes Jahr 2021!

The Studebaker Champion is a mid-size car which was produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana from the beginning of the 1939 model year until 1958. Unlike most other cars, the Champion was designed from a clean sheet, and had no restrictions caused by necessarily utilizing older parts. The Champion was one of Studebaker's best-selling models because of its low price (US$660 for the 2-door business coupe in 1939), durable engine, and styling.

The lake riddled Kejimkujik was eerie and beautiful the morning I took this, particular kayak launch area's felt like a scene out of a Friday the 13th movie.
Taken at the Merrymakedge Beach, at the inland Kejimkujik National Park, in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Climate scientists swear there's nowhere drier than Chile's little-known Atacama Desert and in particular the Cordillera de la Sal (Salt Mountains). It was formed million of years ago. It was an old lake, which bottom went raising by the same movements of the terrestrial coast which gave origin to the Andes Mountains.
