Liverpool's iconic Liver Building shrouded in sea fog wich gave brief moments where the two towers became visible for an image to be taken. The Image was taken from Seacombe on the other side of the River Mersey on the Wirral.
I haven't got out at home, it's been too cold. I was thinking about my holidays last summer and especially my visit to Florence. This shot shows the reflections of the Duomo, the Baptistery of St. John and Brunelleschi's Dome seen in a shop window in the Piazza del Duomo. I hear that they are having record cold weather as well.
When I'm not studying Italian, you can find me on Twitter
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen in Bergen.
These are raindrops not snowflakes and photographing in this direction was very difficult as the rain was straight into the camera! My contacts are so kind to me that I'm sure they will forgive the coarseness of quality! :-))
View LARGE on Black for better details!
Another moment of misery to share with you!! I can't imagine why I have such a bad cold now!!

You've seen the light from the outside, now this is the light from the inside.. The Rigg, Haweswater.
sehr helle Renaissance-Kirche ...
Der Auftrag für die Basilika wurde 1552 an Michelangelo vergeben, jedoch wurde seine skizzenhaften Entwürfe stark verändert ...
der zurecht berühmte Michelangelo Buonarroti, der die Kuppel des Petersdom ermöglichte und die Statue des Davids schuf, der italienischer Maler, Bildhauer, Baumeister (Architekt) und Dichter, bedeutendste Künstler der italienischen Hochrenaissance und weit darüber hinaus ...
Ich zeige euch heute das Gewölbe der Vierung, weil mich die Helligkeit und Schlichtheit faszinierte ...
Ich hatte zwei Aufnahmen vom Längstschiff und Querschifft habe sie zusammengefügt und den großen Rest in den Ecken händisch ergänzt, was ich häufiger tue und was arbeitsintensiv und aufwendig sein kann ...
Jedoch stellte ich auch heute wieder fest, dass das Bild, dann zu "klein" wird und die Wirkung schwächer. So habe ich die Bilder wieder getrennt und hier seht ihr die Ergebnisse ...

I'm showing you the vault of the crossing today because I was fascinated by its brightness and simplicity ...
The commission for the basilica was awarded to Michelangelo in 1552, but his sketchy designs were heavily modified ...
the justly famous Michelangelo Buonarroti, who made the dome of St. Peter's Basilica possible and created the statue of David, the Italian painter, sculptor, master builder (architect) and poet, the most important artist of the Italian High Renaissance and far beyond ...
I had two shots of the nave and transept, so I put them together and added the large rest in the corners by hand, which I do frequently and which can be labor-intensive and time-consuming ...
However, I realized again today that the picture then becomes too “small” and the effect weaker. So I separated the pictures again and here you can see the results ...

Les tanneries de Fès se composent de nombreux vases en pierre remplis avec une vaste gamme de teintures et de liquides divers répandus comme une grande palette d’aquarelles. Des dizaines d’hommes, dont beaucoup sont debout jusqu’à la taille dans les colorants, travaillent sous le soleil brûlant. Les tanneries traitent les peaux de vaches, de moutons, de chèvres et de chameaux, les transformant en articles en cuir de haute qualité tels que des sacs, manteaux, chaussures et souliers. Tout cela est réalisé à la main, sans nécessiter l’utilisation de machines modernes, et le processus n’a que très peu changé depuis l’époque médiévale, ce qui rend ces tanneries absolument fascinante à visiter.(by Florian Colas)

My travels around the UK with my son. June/July 2019 England.
Our last day in London.. On a visit to Greenwich.
Greenwich Park is a former hunting park in Greenwich and one of the largest single green spaces in south-east London. One of the Royal Parks of London, and the first to be enclosed, it covers 74 hectares, and is part of the Greenwich World Heritage Site.

Kalesas or horse-drawn carriages at the cobblestone street of Calle Crisologo, Vigan, Ilocos Sur. Vigan is a UNESCO World Heritage site. UNESCO refers to it as the “the best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines, from China and from Europe, resulting in a culture and townscape that have no parallel anywhere in East and South-East Asia.”

This image shows one of the lock systems in our area. This is only one of the four at Jone's Falls. I had such a great time that day as it is just prior to the tourist season for this area so I had the park area almost all to myself. Bliss!!
The small stone building on the left is a Blacksmith shop and there actually was a blacksmith working in there the day I was here. I have another shot that shows the smoke and glow from inside. I will post it later this week. This is best viewed large of course.

Die Kirche Sint Pieter (niederländisch: Collegiale Sint-Pieterskerk) in Löwen, Belgien, ist eine kreuzförmige Kirche im Stil der Brabanter Gotik. Sie liegt am Grote Markt, gegenüber dem Rathaus.
es lohnt sich hin zu fahren, die über die Jahrhunderte schwarz gewordenen Steinfassaden sind alle frisch renoviert und erscheinen in hellem Kleid. Diese Kirche ist auch von innen frisch renoviert.
Saint Peter's Church (Dutch: Sint-Pieterskerk) in Leuven, Belgium, is a Roman Catholic church built in the 15th century in the Brabantine Gothic style. The church has a cruciform floor plan and a low bell tower that has never been completed. It is 93 metres (305 ft) long. It is located on the city's Grote Markt (main square), opposite the Town Hall. In 1999, the belfry and bell tower of the church was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Belfries of Belgium and France site, in recognition of the civil importance and architecture of the belfries in the region.
The first church on the site, made of wood and presumably founded in 986, burned down in 1176. It was replaced by a Romanesque church, made of stone, featuring a West End flanked by two round towers like at Our Lady's Basilica in Maastricht. Of the Romanesque building only part of the crypt remains, underneath the chancel of the actual church.
Construction of the present Gothic edifice, significantly larger than its predecessor, was begun approximately in 1425, and was continued for more than half a century in a remarkably uniform style, replacing the older church progressively from east (chancel) to west. Its construction period overlapped with that of the Town Hall across the Markt, and in the earlier decades of construction shared the same succession of architects as its civic neighbor: Sulpitius van Vorst to start with, followed by Jan II Keldermans and later on Matheus de Layens. In 1497 the building was practically complete,although modifications, especially at the West End, continued.

Cinque Terre, which means five lands, is comprised of five small coastal villages on the Ligurian Sea. The coastline, villages and surrounding hillsides are part of the Cinque Terre National Park and are a UNESCO Heritage site.
Paths connect the villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterroso al Mare. You can also travel by train and ferry(weather permitting).
Eglise gothique construite de 1300 à 1334 pour les marins et les pêcheurs, une des seules églises qui n'ait pas été touchée par le bombardement de 1942 et l'une des plus importantes églises luthériennes de la ville.
Glückwünsche liebe Rafi zum Geburtstag.
Ich schenke dir den Mai und die Toskana aus folgendem Grunde.
Du bist so wissbegierig, lernfreudig und begeisterungsfähig und ich denke, eine Frau, die aus der Landschaftsfotografie kommt und Architekturfotografin wurde, ist dies ein MUSS ;-) ...
Warum ?
Papst Pius II plante Pienza, den Ort, von dem ich das Val fotografiert habe, im 15. Jahrhundert als Idealstadt im Renaissancestil. Heute gehören Stadt und Tal zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
Ich brachte dieses neu bearbeutete Foto schon einmal unter dem Titel "Arkadien".
Die Ursprünge Pienzas, das vormals Corsignano hieß, lassen sich bis ins 9. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgen. Ab dem 13. Jahrhundert stand die Stadt unter dem Einfluss der Franziskanermönche und der Familie Piccolomini, der auch Papst Pius II entstammte.
Vor seiner Ernennung zum Pontifex Maximus hatte sich Pius II, bürgerlich Enea Silvio Piccolomini, als humanistisch gebildeter Dichter und Gelehrter einen Namen gemacht. Er unterrichtete unter anderem an der Universität Wien!
Die von ihm vertretenen humanistischen Ideale setzte er später bei der Neuplanung seines Geburtsortes Corsignano um, die er dem Architekten Bernardo Rossellino übertrug. Die Stadt entstand im Renaissancestil, unter besonderer Betonung von Symmetrie und Geometrie in der Anordnung der Bauteile.
Soweit zur Stadt, die eher ein Dorf ist.
Du schaust jetzt jedoch von dort auf das Tal.
Fünf Millionen Jahre an Naturgeschichte haben hier ihre Spur durch die reiche Tier- und Pflanzenwelt geschaffen.
Sanfte Hügel, bedeckt von einer reichen Vegetation wie Weinreben, Olivenhainen, Zypressen, Buchen und Kastanienbäumen, die von antiken, in der Landschaft verteilten Bauten aus den Zeiten des Mittelalters und der Renaissance, Burgen und Landgüter unterbrochen werden.
Das Orciatal verdankt seine lange Geschichte der Via Cassia, der großen Straße der Römer, die Rom mit Norditalien verband und dabei das ganze Tal durchquerte.
Die Geschichte spielte sich entlang dieser antiken Konsul-Straße ab, die zur Bühne der größten geschichtlichen Veränderungen wurde. Ein großer Teil der Via Cassia vereint sich im Tal mit dem Frankenweg, eine Strecke, die im Laufe der Jahrhunderte tausende Pilger durchquerten.
Die ständige Durchreise von Menschen und Handelsgütern entlang dieser wichtigen Straße zeichnete die Geschichte und die Wichtigkeit zahlreicher Dörfer und führte im 15. Jh. zur Gründung der Republik von Siena.
In der zweiten Hälfte des 16. Jh. bekam Florenz die Macht über das Tal und über die Siedlungen um Siena und machte aus dem Val D'Orcia ein rein landwirtschaftliches Gebiet.
Diese auf mich biblisch wirkende Landschaft sah ursprünglich das Ganze Jahr eher langweilig aus.
Die Römer bauten dort Korn an. Es wurde geerntet und die Stoppelfelder blieben braun-gelb zurück.
Erst durch Hungersnöte auf Sardinien kamen sardische Bauern in das Gebiet und führten auch ihre Viehwirtschaft ein, wodurch die Täler grüner wurden.
Und zu guter letzt haben auch die ersten Touristen der Welt, die Engländer für das heutige Aussehen ihre Finger im Spiel. Englische Ladies vor allem sorgten für die ästhetische Ausprägungen der Landschaft. Dies wissen wohl wenige und gerade deshalb dachte ich, ist es für dich / euch interessant.

Spruce Tree House was constructed between about 1211 and 1278 CE by the ancestors of the Pueblo peoples of the Southwest. The dwelling contains about 130 rooms and 8 kivas, or ceremonial chambers, built into a natural alcove measuring 216 feet (66 meters) at greatest width and 89 feet (27 meters) at its greatest depth. It is thought to have been home for about 60 to 80 people.
The cliff dwelling was first discovered in 1888, when two local ranchers chanced upon it while searching for stray cattle.

The interior of the 45 meter (147 ft) wide dome of the Il Duomo di Firenze (Florence Cathedral) features a sprawling mosaic decoration of The Last Judgment. Started in 1568 by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari, and several other artists, it took 11 years to finish. The upper portion near the lantern gives the illusion of three-dimensional imagery, incredibly impressive considering that it is a 430-year-old work of art.
Florence Cathedral is the main church of Florence, and is one of the largest in Italy. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can climb the Duomo; I counted 462 steps, but supposedly there are 467, and it’s well worth the effort. Mid-way up there is a gallery where you can walk around and see this amazing fresco a lot closer than from the cathedral floor.
For this photo, I couldn't get my Nikon D60 above the protective glass to get a shot...but my iPhone 6s+ did the job just fine. I have to say that the camera on this device is surprisingly good.

As the Yellowstone river flows north from Yellowstone Lake, it leaves the Hayden Valley and plunges first over Upper Yellowstone Falls and then a quarter mile (400 m) downstream over Lower Yellowstone Falls, at which point it then enters the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
Cascading from the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow, Lower Yellowstone Falls is the largest volume waterfall in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. These falls (44°43′05′′N 110°29′46′′W) are 308 feet ( 94 m) high, or nearly twice as high as Niagara Falls. The volume of water flowing over Lower Yellowstone Falls can vary from 680 cu ft/s (19 m3/s) in the autumn, to 8,400 cu ft/s (240 m3 /s) at peak runoff in late springtime. The flow rate of Lower Yellowstone Falls is much less than that of Niagara Falls, as the Yellowstone River is only 70 feet (21 m) at the point at which it goes over the lower falls, Where the Niagara River is 2,600 feet (790 m) in width as it approaches the crest line of Horseshoe Falls.

This was viewed from Artist Point. The perspective was similar to those of Thomas Moron's (1871) and Ansel Adams' (1941) famous paintings and photographs on the same subject. Early morning light accentuated the yellow-orange colours of the steep canyon slopes on either side.
