Theme: Your Favorite Pic From Your Photostream
Hard decision to make, but I believe this image from Antelope Canyon would be my favorite of the year. If you are interested, here are the images I narrowed it down to before choosing:

Cheers!
I just got back from a week long photo trip to the Southwest. I was traveling with long-time friend Charles Chapman. Our trip was centered, for the most part, around Page, Arizona.
The places and sights we saw were Horseshoe Bend, Hanging Gardens, Owl Canyon, Rattlesnake Canyon, Upper Antelope Canyon, Lower Antelope Canyon, the Navajo National Memorial, Canyon De Chelly and the Petrified Forest National Park(including the Painted Desert).
I'll be posting images from these locations as I get them processed. I hope you enjoy them half as much as I did taking them.
Enough room for a small band and a hoedown.

A view of the path and frost covered deck from the Old Faithful Inn to the Firehole River crossing and the Upper Geyser Basin. I have no idea why, but all these wooden boardwalks in Yellowstone have fascinated me since childhood. I wonder how many miles of desks there are in the park.

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.

Aligning the navigational sensor was another challenge with all the angles involved, and there's still a gap. But I'm quite happy with the greebles. I'm especially proud of the circular structure on the upper right. That's made with element 58846, and has 20 spokes. No cheating either, it's totally buildable.

The upper reaches of Teesdale in benign mood. The River Tees winds through the image. The Pennine Way follows the river, passing the remote Widdybank Farm, seen in the distance. On the left is Cronkley Scar which is part of the Whin Sill lava flow and the hill in the background is Meldon Hill, which is 2770 feet high.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - Memorial Falls is found along a short hiking trail near Neihart in the Little Belt Mountains. The waterfall is actually split into 2, with the lower falls being a bit taller than the upper falls.
August 28 - 30 three of us hiked from the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) at Harts Pass to the Cutthroat Lake TH near Mazama, Washington for two and a half days. Smoke from the nearby Diamond Creek fire obscured many of the peaks and reduced photo opportunities. Hiking distance is about 30 miles of up and down over Grasshopper Pass, Glacier Pass, Methow Pass, Granite Pass and Cutthroat Pass. On clear, smokeless days many North Cascades peaks are visible. We made a short side trip to Snowy Lakes on a day that was almost smoke free. IMG_2472
Wien - Oberes Belvedere
The Belvedere is a historic building complex in Vienna, Austria, consisting of two Baroque palaces (the Upper and Lower Belvedere), the Orangery, and the Palace Stables. The buildings are set in a Baroque park landscape in the third district of the city, on the south-eastern edge of its centre. It houses the Belvedere museum. The grounds are set on a gentle gradient and include decorative tiered fountains and cascades, Baroque sculptures, and majestic wrought iron gates. The Baroque palace complex was built as a summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy.
The Belvedere was built during a period of extensive construction in Vienna, which at the time was both the imperial capital and home to the ruling Habsburg dynasty. This period of prosperity followed on from the commander-in-chief Prince Eugene of Savoy's successful conclusion of a series of wars against the Ottoman Empire.
Upper Belvedere
The construction of the Upper Belvedere began as early as 1717, as testified by two letters that Prince Eugene sent from Belgrade to his servant Benedetti in summer 1718, describing the progress of work on the palace. Construction was so far advanced by 2 October 1719 that the prince was able to receive the Turkish ambassador Ibrahim Pasha there. The decoration of the interior started as early as 1718. In 1719 he commissioned the Italian painter Francesco Solimena to execute both the altarpiece for the Palace Chapel and the ceiling fresco in the Golden Room. In the same year Gaetano Fanti was commissioned to execute the illusionistic quadratura painting in the Marble Hall. In 1720 Carlo Carlone was entrusted with the task of painting the ceiling fresco in the Marble Hall, which he executed from 1721–23.
The building was completed in 1723. The Sala Terrena, however, was at risk of collapsing due to structural problems, and in the winter of 1732–33 Hildebrandt was forced to install a vaulted ceiling supported by four Atlas pillars, giving the room its current appearance. Salomon Kleiner, an engineer from the Mainz elector's court, produced a ten-part publication between 1731 and 1740 containing a total of ninety plates, entitled Wunder würdiges Kriegs- und Siegs-Lager deß Unvergleichlichen Heldens Unserer Zeiten Eugenii Francisci Hertzogen zu Savoyen und Piemont ("Wondrous war and victory encampment of the supreme hero of our age Eugene Francis Duke of Savoy and Piedmont"), which documented in precise detail the state of the Belvedere complex.

Das Schloss Belvedere (von italienisch „schöne Aussicht“; traditionelle xenographische Aussprache ohne Schluss-e und auf „der“ betont: [belveˈdeːɘ]) in Wien ist eine von Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt (1668–1745) für Prinz Eugen von Savoyen (1663–1736) erbaute Schlossanlage (seit 1850 im Bezirk Landstraße). Das Obere Belvedere und das Untere Belvedere (benannt aufgrund ihrer Lage auf einem südlich der damaligen Stadt ansteigenden Hang) bilden mit der verbindenden Gartenanlage ein barockes Ensemble. Die beiden Schlossbauten beherbergen heute die Sammlungen des Belvedere (Österreichische Galerie Belvedere) und Räumlichkeiten für Wechselausstellungen. Am 15. Mai 1955 wurde im Oberen Belvedere der Österreichische Staatsvertrag unterzeichnet.
Oberes Belvedere
Das Obere Belvedere war ursprünglich nur als kleines Gebäude konzipiert, das den Garten optisch abschließen sollte. Nach weiteren Grundkäufen des Prinzen erweiterte Hildebrandt die Planung und baute das Obere Belvedere 1720–1723 im heutigen Umfang; der Abschluss der Bauarbeiten erfolgte 1725 / 1726. Der Prinz lebte aber weiterhin im Unteren Belvedere, während das Obere Belvedere der Repräsentation diente. Östlich des Oberen Belvederes wurde auch die Menagerie des Prinzen in einem halbkreisförmigen Areal (der Grundriss ist heute noch gut zu sehen) untergebracht, die nach Eugens Tod in den kaiserlichen Tiergarten Schönbrunn gelangte.
Die Alleinerbin des Prinzen, Anna Viktoria von Savoyen, seit 1738 verehelichte Prinzessin von Sachsen-Hildburghausen, ließ das gesamte Inventar und die Bibliothek versteigern, sodass heute nichts mehr an die ursprüngliche Ausstattung erinnert.
Das obere Schloss wurde in Kommunikation mit der umgebenden Natur 1721 bis 1723 gebaut, ursprünglich gab es auch viel mehr offene Säle und Galerien. Vor der südlichen Eingangsseite befindet sich ein Teich, in dem sich das Schloss spiegelt. Das Gebäude löst sich in mehrere Blöcke auf („Pavillonsystem“), dadurch erhält die Silhouette einen sehr bewegten Eindruck. Jeder dieser Blöcke ist mit einer eigenen Dachkonstruktion versehen, wodurch mancher Beobachter schon an „Türkenzelte“ erinnert wurde.
