Located within Lassen Volcanic National Park at 8,714 feet of altitude is Reading Peak which actually is small plug dome volcano located about 2.5 miles from Mount Lassen in Shasta County in California. Mount Lassen for whom the national park was named last erupted in the early Twentieth Century. My sweet damsel and I camped within this amazing national park several years back which sadly suffered damage from the Dixie wildland fire that ravaged the lake Almanor area. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @nationalparkservice @lassennps @visitcalifornia
These chandeliers are quite spectacular. Take time to notice them the next time you pass through what used to be the very grand waiting room at Grand Central.
He thought about the fact that he was a burning lamp, and the more he felt that, the more he felt a weakening, a quenching of the divine light of truth burning within him.

... Women of the World ...
Thai people have always been known to have great respect for old values such as the proper ways a woman should act. The prim and proper ways of a true lady who stays at home spending all her time taking care of children, cook wonderful meals and can make the most marvelous flower creations. These values make Thai women, especially in the area where education is less important than everyday survival, underestimate themselves. We are stronger and we have more impact on society, more than we thought we had. Our opinions matter too and we definitely know more than just the best deals at the supermarket.
It's true that we can't change society and its values overnight but what we can do is to start within ourselves, build confidence within us through knowledge and be the best version of ourselves that we know we could be.

SN/NC: Plumeria rubra, Apocynaceae Family
Located within the residential areas of Paramaribo. I have seen many huge trees of Plumeria Rubra, not very common as usually they are smaller trees. These are quite nice and gives a special colorful touch to the streets.
Gelegen in de woonwijken van Paramaribo. Ik heb veel enorme bomen van Plumeria Rubra gezien, niet erg gebruikelijk, omdat het meestal kleinere bomen zijn. Deze zijn best leuk en geven een speciaal kleurrijk tintje aan de straten.
Plumeria rosa o roja, grande, crescida, un árbol lleno de flores. No es muy común verlas por ahí. Está muy presente en las areas residenciales de Paramaribo, Suriname. Dan un aspecto muy colorido a las calles.

This, too, is the Portland Head Lighthouse, with the Ram Island Ledge Light located in its shadows.
Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse located in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The light station sits on a headland at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon, and foghorn are maintained by the United States Coast Guard, while the former lighthouse keeper's house is a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park.
Hope you all enjoy!

The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.
Made from a digital photography from my portfolio, a digitally painted watercolor painting unveils the picturesque scene of an inner street within the fortified city of Carcassonne. The brushstrokes capture the essence of this historical location, where narrow cobblestone streets wind their way amidst ancient stone structures. The painting portrays a vibrant atmosphere teeming with life as tourists amble along the meandering lanes, enchanted by the allure of the medieval architecture that surrounds them.
The focal point of the artwork is the beautiful yellowish stone buildings, standing tall with their two-story structures, proudly displaying the marks of centuries gone by. The textured strokes of the brush bring life to the aged walls, highlighting their unique character and weathered charm. The warm hues of the stone reflect the sun's gentle caress, creating a harmonious interplay of light and shadow across the canvas.
The street itself appears alive, bustling with activity. The artist's attention to detail showcases the diversity of the passersby, their clothing and accessories hinting at various cultures and backgrounds. Curious tourists explore every nook and cranny, their eyes drawn to the intricate architectural details that adorn the buildings. Balconies adorned with potted plants overflow with vivid blooms, providing a splash of color against the ancient stone backdrop.
As the eye wanders deeper into the painting, the narrowness of the streets becomes apparent. The use of perspective creates an illusion of depth, guiding the viewer's gaze deeper into the heart of the city. Delicate shadows cast by the overhead sunlight dance along the street, adding a sense of movement and capturing the fleeting nature of the moment.
In this captivating watercolor, we are transported to a bygone era, where the fusion of history and everyday life creates a timeless charm. Invite us to stroll through the streets of Carcassonne, to admire the enduring beauty of its medieval architecture, and to become captivated by the unique atmosphere that emanates from every stone and passerby.

I love finding shells on the beach and this one was a winner... you can see little shells growing inside the barnacles that are attached!!
Seek peace within yourself, than go out into the world and see it through your new eyes.
