A beautiful morning view of the canyon and lower falls from Grand View point. It's an amazing view in both directions and you get to feel the enormity of the landscape. The tiny red dot in the lower left is a visitor. Yellowstone National Park, USA, July 2014
Metropolitan United Methodist Church is a grand neo-Gothic edifice on Woodwaed Avenue designed by noted architect W.E.N. Hunter.
The view over the River Dee looking at the North Wales Coast from the path between the islands off the Wirral coast. The near shore is lined with gulls and waders - mostly oystercatcher and redshank - and a lone grey heron.
We decided to hike table mountain, it started out a very hot day, after making it to the first split in the path up the mountain, we took the wrong turn, and ended up walking along the mountain as opposed to up it (we were given the wrong instructions) so after a long tedious walk along and down the mountain, we had to get the cable car up to the top to get the view we were looking for.
I hate to write generic descriptions for multiple photographs i'm posting but having the ability to upload is very rare here in South Africa, so apologies for the lack of interesting descriptions for each photograph.
These are some of the photos from along the way.

A wild Golden Eagle from earlier this week. This time zoomed out for a more typical landscape view which seem to be favoured in the past few years.

The View-Master has a long history, dating back to the late 1930's in Portland, Oregon, USA. It was initially conceived by William Gruber and Harold Graves. Graves, who was president of Sawyers Photographic Services saw the potential of Gruber's camera rig he has developed for taking stereo photographs. The pair formed a partnership and the View-Master was born in 1938.
Initially it was intended that the View-Master be an educational tool, primarily aimed at adults, but as time developed the appeal of the View-Master soon spread to other areas, one of the more notable being children's entertainment.
The US Military were keen advocates of the View-Master and had specially commissioned sets of reels produced to aid with artillery spotting and aircraft identification during World War II. They purchased many millions of reels for this purpose, together with 10's of thousands of Model B viewers.
Sawyers didn't have the market to themselves and the Tru-Vue Company was a serious rival. In 1951 Sawyers purchases the Tru-Vue Company and importantly also obtained the rights to present Disney characters on their reels.
