The sky wasn't blue, but the gate leading to this heavenly cottage on Tresco certainly was. [Explored on 23/02/2018]
Paternoster is known for its seafood, especially its lobster, and its white-washed fishermen’s cottages. Located on the West Coast, 15 km north-west of Vredenburg and 145 km north of Cape Town, at Cape Columbine the village has a population of around 1,900.
One of the oldest fishing villages in South Africa, it a stronghold of Cape Coloured culture, and especially Coloured cuisine, and is increasingly marketed as such by South African tourism authorities. At under two hours’ drive from central Cape Town, this once impoverished community is now being gentrified by weekenders and retirees, with upmarket new restaurants opening, and becoming rather ‘larnie’, as South Africans put it.
The origin of the name remains unknown. Many people believe that the name, which means ‘Our Father’ in Latin, refers to prayers said by Catholic Portuguese seamen when they became shipwrecked. It appears as St. Martins Paternoster on an old map of Pieter Mortier so the name may be derived from Paternoster Row in the City of London which is adjacent to St. Martins Court. Other people believe it refers to the beads that the Khoi tribe wore that were called Paternosters.
The climate is mostly known for its infrequent rainfall, dry countryside and high offshore winds. The area receives most of its rainfall during winter and has a Mediterranean climate. This photo was taken on a baking-hot late Summer January day when the mercury reached 37C!

L'Etna oggi: ma neve del versante più assolato è quasi tutta sciolta ... ma per stasera prevedono piogge, domani sarà nuovamente imbiancata?

Etna today: but the snow on the sunny side is almost completely melted ... but for the rain this evening they are expected, will tomorrow be whitewashed again?

I made a trip out to the Painted Hill in Central Orgon after a snow. This is what I found there.
I think that the timing was perfect. I had been there twice before after snow. The forst time the hills were completely covered. The second time they were hardly covered at all. This time I was excited when they came into view. I had a good time photographing them with my long lenses. I used my Nikon 70-200 and my Tamron 150-600.

After two recent snow storms during the holidays, a clearing morning finally lit up with the low southeast sunlight close to the winter solstice. It is my favorite light of the year, and can make for some fantastic sunrises, like I also shot on this day. A completely transformed landscape! Thanks for looking !

I enjoyed a good snowfall in my last trip in the mountains which come due to return of Western disturbances. This is what the views looked like, all white ..all white. A panorama :)

Frigiliana es un municipio de la provincia de Málaga, en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía (España). Se encuentra situado a 56 kilómetros de la capital, en la comarca de la Axarquía y asomado al Mediterráno desde el Parque Natural de las Sierras de Almijara, Tejeda y Alhama. Es sin duda uno de los pueblos blancos con más encanto. Su casco histórico es Conjunto Histórico Artístico desde el año 2014. Las paredes encaladas, sus calles estrechas y sinuosas, en un sinfín de escaleras, son la herencia morisca que el paso del tiempo ha dejado en el casco antiguo de Frigiliana. Pasear por él, a cualquier hora del día, aunque muy especialmente por la noche, nos transportará en el tiempo a épocas pasadas, dejando de lado ruidos, vehículos circulando a nuestro lado, prisas, y en definitiva, todo aquello que vemos como habitual en nuestra vida cotidiana en la ciudad. Sus calles le deslumbrará de día por el reflejo del sol en sus siempre impolutas y encaladas fachadas, mientras que por la noche se verá inmerso en un ambiente silencioso, tan sólo roto esporádicamente por las charlas de algunos vecinos en los patios de sus casas o por el paseo de los turistas.

Frigiliana is a town and municipality in the province of Málaga, part of the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain. The municipality is situated approximately 35 miles east of Málaga, the provincial capital. It is located in the comarca of La Axarquía y leaning on the Mediterraneo from the Natural Park of the Sierras of Almijara, Tejeda and Alhama. Is undoubtedly one of the white villages of Malaga with more charm. Its historic center is a Historical Site since 2014. Whitewashed walls, its narrow, winding in endless stairs, streets are the Moorish heritage over time has left in the old town of Frigiliana. To walk at any time of the day, but especially at night, will transport us in time to past times, leaving aside noises, vehicles circulating at our side, hurry, and in short, everything that we see as habitual in our daily life in the city. Its streets will dazzle you during the day by the reflection of the sun in its always clean and whitewashed walls, whereas at night you will be immersed in a silent atmosphere, only broken sporadically by the talks of some neighbors in the courtyards or by the walking of the tourists.
So some of the waves got silly big and took out some pretty substantial rocks. The wind was doing all sorts of cool things to the spray, dragging it up the back of the rock in layers. Might post one of that scene another time. The sheer power and scale of this one stopped me in my tracks. I managed a 5 or 6 shot series which followed this wave in. You can just make out the birds sitting on the top of the rock looking tiny.
See the whitewashed walls of the central room in the upper level of this prehistoric Anasazi village. The Navajo mention these ruins in their Night Chant, calling them Kinii' Na'igai - White House in Between - because of this unique coloring. At its height the village housed about 100 men, women and children in some 60 rooms constructed of stone blocks with mud mortar. The Anasazi people who lived here, farmed the canyon floor raising corn, beans, squash and cotton. They made fine cloth of cotton, robes of turkey feathers, baskets and sandals of yucca. They also produced pottery with elaborate decorations.

I've got a nice lady coming to see me for a 1-2-1 next week.
I like to keep things fresh with new locations and this is one location we'll be visiting on our day.
As per my previous post, I had to work this area for some time before things started to happen...and then I was off and running.
I knew there was potential here, it was just a matter of finding it.
Even then, once I had got what I was after, I still had to fine tune the shot (in camera) to get what I was after.
No-one ever said it was going to be easy...
Brasília's 62nd birthday is coming up April 21. Whitewashed curbs are an annual ritual, but the floss silk trees really steal the show.
Crow-stepped gables in brick and whitewash along a preserved street near Bruges’ medieval core.
The stepped gable (Dutch: trapgevel) is one of the most recognizable features of Flemish urban architecture from the 16th–17th centuries. It provided practical access to the roofline while allowing decorative expression. The combination of red brick, whitewash, and green-painted windows is typical of both original and restored façades in Bruges, where heritage codes preserve the street’s medieval appearance.
This street’s rhythm of gables, chimneys, and projecting signs evokes a city deeply rooted in its craft, mercantile, and religious past. The sign “Chocolates & Happiness” is a postmodern addition but blends seamlessly into the city’s commercial heritage.

Quite like doing this simple subject photography, I find other people's work in this category so interesting to look at, just love it ;-))
Happy fence Friday, everyone.
I have admired this farm scene every time I have passed by, but have only stopped twice for photos, this photo taken on May 16, 2018. The farm is just west of the pleasant town of Brooklyn in the southeast corner of Jackson County.

Whitewashed houses are built into a rock face along a narrow cobblestone street in Setenil de las Bodegas, Andalusia, Spain. The rugged cliff overhangs the structures, providing natural shelter. A stone balustrade lines the street, which features classic street lamps. In the background, lush greenery and terraced hills are visible, adding to the scenic view. The architecture showcases the unique integration of natural elements into urban design in this historic town.
