For some that phrase would describe their eyes after a late night of partying and ringing in the New Year. For me on this first morning of the 20s, it meant first-light reaching Towers of the Virgin in Zion National Park.
Being a native East-Coaster, who has transplanted to life on the West Coast, I still feel that the New Year occurs when the crystal ball drops in New York, and that's the end. So, with the aide of staid Springdale, Utah, it was easy to get an early bedtime on New Years Eve so we could begin the trek to the Canyon Overlook Trail at 6:00 AM to catch first-light and sunrise from this vantage.
The trail is a relatively flat mile hike with a few tricky spots where the ice and slickrock conspire to give even the most sure-footed concern in the dark. Once we reached the overlook, I was a little concerned that our cold trek may have been for naught, due to the heavy cloud cover. Though they were thick overhead, there still was some clearing to the East, along the sun on the horizon to light a narrow band, reflecting off the cloud bottoms and warming the sheer rocks faces of the Temple of the Virgin ahead. This image was captured about 10-15 minutes before the local sunrise time, and is considerably brighter than what we saw with our eyes, due to the 20-second exposure.
Once the actual sun rays reached the Temple directly, the light only lit the areas seen here in red for less than 5 minutes before disappearing above the clouds for the remainder of the day.

Taken somewhere between Modena and Mantua, when we were stuck in traffic.
Between Christmas 2022 and New Year's Eve we were in Naples/Italy. This anti-minimalist, but all the more documentary picture bears witness to that. Now that I'm mainly in Italy again, the publication fits.
Die mächtige, romanische Kirche St. Martin vor den alten Häusern sieht echt super aus. Inzwischen hat sich auch die Sonne gezeigt.
My favorite photography subject is mountain peaks and the special ecosystems that they create. IMHO few places provide such a wealth of stunning beauty and frequent photo opps as the Canadian Rockies, in Alberta and British Columbia.
Here we have a view looking northwest at Mount Athabasca (of the famous glacier) and Hilda Peak. Just one example of what one finds along the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper.
Thanks for taking a peek at these peaks!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Daffodils by The Long Waater Kensington Gardens. Nearly cloned out the Henry Moore sculpture but decided against it as like it or not it is part of the landscape.

Un beau contraste: La couleur Jeaune d'Or d' Immortelles commune avec le Bleu de Lavande. C'est l'été :-)
The fields of yellow Everlasting flowers (Helichrysum stoechas)
add a wonderful contrast to the fields of lavender.
A feast for the senses!

Construido en fino mármol importado de Italia, de Carrara, está considerado uno de los trabajos más exquisitos de la arquitectura tailandesa.
El mármol recubre el exterior del bello bot principal y el pavimento del patio central del templo.
En un ambiente en el que se respira tranquilidad, espiritualidad y donde los jóvenes monjes ataviados con sus túnicas de color naranja son acompañados de sus maestros en las ceremonias religiosas que se celebran en el interior.
Este templo es una de las grandes obras maestras religiosas de Bangkok.
Lido Rossello è la località marittima di Realmonte da cui dista circa 1,8 km. Ubicato proprio nella Baia di Capo Rossello il piccolo centro abitato si trova inserito in un contesto ambientale molto suggestivo: a nord infatti è chiuso dall'arco della Costabianca, ad ovest da Capo Rossello e ad est dalla continuazione dell'arco costiero che finisce con lo sfondo di Scala dei Turchi, a sud invece si apre sul mare con una spiaggia di modeste dimensioni ma molto composta e raccolta.
"La Scala dei Turchi è una falesia viva costituita da uno sperone di marna bianca prominente sul mare, le cui falde degradanti a strato conferiscono un aspetto molto suggestivo, accentuato, a sua volta, dai forti contrasti cromatici se si pensa all'azzurro del mare e del cielo contrapposto al bianco accecante della roccia.
La forma che questo monumento della natura assume è quella per l'appunto di una scalinata, dove secondo la leggenda, durante le invasioni moresche che imperversarono nel '500, i turchi (così erroneamente chiamati) approdarono nel territorio dell'odierna Realmonte inerpicandosi sulle stratificazioni di questa falesia."

Neuschwanstein Castle (German: Schloss Neuschwanstein, English: "New Swanstone Castle") is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner.
Das Schloss Neuschwanstein steht oberhalb von Hohenschwangau bei Füssen im südlichen Bayern. Der Bau wurde ab 1869 für den bayerischen König Ludwig II. als idealisierte Vorstellung einer Ritterburg aus der Zeit des Mittelalters errichtet. Der König lebte nur wenige Monate im Schloss, er starb noch vor der Fertigstellung der Anlage.
Unfortunately the Marienbrücke (Bridge over the Pöllat Gorge) – one of the best viewpoints was closed because of construction work – so I had to climb up an ice hill left to the Marienbrücke – which had an even more beautiful view – quite a good reward for a quite dangerous climb…
Leider war die Marienbrücke wg. Bauarbeiten gesperrt und so musste ich einen ziemlich vereisten Hügel links neben der Brücke hochklettern – und wurde dann mit einer noch schöneren Aussicht für die nicht ganz ungefährliche Kletterpartie belohnt…
Dettifoss is a waterfall in Vatnajökull National Park in Northeast Iceland, and is reputed to be the most powerful waterfall in Europe.
Unfortuantely, because of the weather on the day, it was not accessible, and so we had to settle with this position: The nearest we could get...
Detti is definitely on the list again for our next visit!
