Last week just after 7 next to my usual parking spot to check the light and fog conditions in the valley...looked like it might be worth it.
Letzte Woche kurz nach 7 neben meinem üblichen Parkplatz, um die Licht und Nebelbedingungen im Tal zu checken...es sah aus, als ob es sich lohnen könnte.

Have a peaceful time, everybody !
My last night in Amsterdam.
I wanted to take all colors, from every corner. I did not reach time. Now, I think I should have stayed all night without sleep. But I was tired and felt very cold. I hope to return to this beautiful city.
A Blue Jay waits patiently for some seed to appear. These guys dominate the food chain on our lakefront, except for the squirrels of course!
They'll eat out of your hand near the Nature Center at Michigan's Kensington Metropark. This female Downy Woodpecker and the hand she is perched on were processed in black and white for Monochrome Bokeh Thursday.

Millions of years of wind, water and sand have created these rock formations. Indirect light in the late morning conjure up a picture of the colorful sandstone with many color gradations.
Location: Top Rock Plateau, Coyote Buttes North, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.

I get a deep sense of inner peace when I see a beautiful bird such as this roseate spoonbill feeding and preening in a glassy surfaced lagoon, bathed in early morning light.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for your views and comments!

Mayschoss in the romantic Ahr valley is a real dream destination for hikers and photographers at the height of the leaves in autumn (last week of October).
Unfortunately, not much is left of the castle ruins. The castle plateau is a perfect vantage point for this and you can enjoy this view with a (or more) glass of wine on site.
Mayschoß im romantischen Ahrtal ist auf dem Höhepunkt der Laubfärbung im Herbst (letzte Oktoberwoche) ein echtes Traumziel für Wanderer und Fotografen.
Von der Burgruine ist leider nicht mehr viel erhalten. Dafür ist das Burgplateau ein perfekter Aussichtspunkt und man kann diese Aussicht mit einem (oder mehr) Glas Wein vor Ort geniessen.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Just a small part of it, but beautiful.
Note the red ash in front of the conical volcano.

Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.
Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.
Found her during a fototrip in Darmstadt Park Rosenhöhe with my fotofriend Dagmar www.flickr.com/photos/137645690@N02/
on a dull day. At a time, the sun came out.... what luck !!
The Rosenhöhe (Rose Heights) is a beautiful garden, which was previously a vineyard in the possession of the royal house. It was transformed into a landscaped garden in the English style at the beginning of the 19th century. The royal architect Georg Moller decorated the park with tea-houses and pavilions.
The mystical park serves also as the cemetery for the Duches of Darmstadt with two impressive mausoleum buildings in its remote parts.
Happy New Year
Gott Nytt År
Felice Anno Nuovo

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
It was half a billion years in the making, two ancient continents collide, and the Earth's inner soul, the mantle, shows itself.
We hiked this trail under darks clouds, ran between raindrops, and stood in awe of the barren red landscape as the clouds gently rolled over the mountains. It was an unforgettable experience and watching these two take it all in made my heart happy.

Gros Morne National Park - The Tablelands
Back to Greenland with a series of new images. Different approach in post-processing as I felt colors were somewhat detracting from the icebergs themselves. Shooting conditions turned for the better on the last day with low clouds and heavy fog, a significant change from the cloudless dark blue skies we had experienced during the week. These images have been grouped together at www.flickr.com/photos/132192297@N04/albums/72157712965713538.
