N/a ? How about a short boat trip on the river Elbe in the morning, which is literally the focus today.
We start below mount Lilienstein, where I am currently, and leave the entrance to the Prossen harbor on the left.
After a small bend and passing under the Queen Carola Bridge (a railway bridge), we look left at the small village of Rathmannsdorf before we drive under the most important bridge for road traffic in the area, which is currently unfortunately closed due to the risk of collapse (and will probably stay that way for a while).
From now on, everything we see on both sides of the river belongs to Bad Schandau for a while.
Shortly before the river plunges into the morning mist, we can admire the impressive rocks of the Schrammsteine on the left, whose backs protrude out of the mist.
And then the fog has already swallowed us up and we follow a narrowing valley over the border with the Czech Republic, where we drive for a while through an impressive canyon that only opens again shortly before the end of our journey (on the foot of this high mountain on the horizon) in Děčín.
I showed you what it looks like there not too long ago. (and that both above and below the nebula).
Na ? Wie wäre es mit einer kurzen Bootsfahrt auf der morgendlichen Elbe, die heute im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes im Mittelpunkt steht.
Wir starten unterhalb des Liliensteins, auf dem ich mich gerade befinde und lassen die Einfahrt zum Hafen Prossen entspannt links liegen.
Nach einer kleinen Biegung und der Durchfahrt unter der Königin-Carola-Brücke (einer Eisenbahnbrücke) blicken wir links auf das kleine Örtchen Rathmannsdorf bevor wir dann unter der wichtigsten Brücke für den Strassenverkehr der Gegend hindurch fahren, die zur Zeit dummerweise wegen Einsturzgefahr gesperrt ist (was wohl auch noch eine Weile so bleiben soll).
Ab jetzt gehört für eine Weile alles, was wir zu beiden Seiten des Flusses sehen zu Bad Schandau.
Kurz bevor der Fluß in den Morgennebel eintaucht, können wir links die beeindruckenden Felsen der Schrammsteine bewundern, deren Rücken aus dem Nebel heraus Ragen.
Und da hat uns der Nebel auch schon verschlungen und wir folgen einem enger werdenden Tal über die Grenze zur Tschechischen Republik, wo wir eine Zeit lang durch einen beeindruckenden Canyon fahren der sich erst kurz vor dem Ende unserer Reise am Fusse dieses hohen Berges am Horizont) in Děčín wieder öffnet.
Wie es dort aussieht habe ich Euch ja vor garnicht allzu langer Zeit erst gezeigt (und das sowohl oberhalb als auch unterhalb des Nebels)

This was the upstream view from the same lovely little pebble beach in the Bürser canyon. At this point the trail through the valley ends and another trail takes hikers up to the plateau, and leads them back to the starting point, Bürs.
This was a problem for composition, as behind me there was a drop-off so i could not stand high enough to get the whole log or change the composition. Post processing could have eliminated the log or otherwise modified the offending object, but i make a concerted effort to keep things as i see/find them. Old school, I am. Not to mention i am not a computer wizard with enough smarts to make something out of nothing, so i try to stick to the facts. '"Just the facts, ma'am", as Joe Friday would have said.

Porthnanven. The only time we had visited previously was in 2008. That time my Dad was quite frail and we took him for what was to be his last trip to Cornwall; he loved the old tin mines in particular. He couldn't cope with the boulders at Porthnanven so we only spent a short time there. This time we were keen to explore the beach a bit more fully.
This was taken in the river before it reaches the beach. It's amazing how far the boulders have been washed upstream. I'm not sure I'd want to be there in a winter storm!
A view from near the bandstand facing upstream along the River Esk at Whitby towards the swing bridge and the marina. The street lights and the lights from the houses and properties lining the river make for an impressive light show on the waters of the Esk.
Thanks for taking the time to view and comment on this and other images in my photo stream.

Just upstream from the falls admiring the amount of water since the snow melted. It is fun getting out with fellow photographer friends and exploring. Enjoy the photo.

Gorgeous Autumn colours over the falls on the river Dart.

The steep land on the left is very unstable and is being eroded with landslides occasionally. At the head of the valley is a fairly substantial house and it is the highest occupied house on the Isle of Man. When I was a child it was the retreat of a Doctor, there was no electricity etc. It is still technically off the grid as it has its own wind turbines and perhaps generators. It has been substantially altered and "improved" since the doctor had it.
