Ross Park Carousel is a historic carousel located at Binghamton in Broome County, New York. The carousel is housed in a wooden, one story, 16-sided, pavilion topped by an eight sided cupola. The carousel has 60 horses standing four abreast, each of which is a "jumper," and two chariots. It was constructed by the Allan Herschell Company and contains its original Wurlitzer Military Band Organ. The carousel was purchased about 1920 and is one of six carousels donated to the citizens of Broome County by George F. Johnson (1857–1948), president of Endicott Johnson Corporation.

The Bank of America Tower soars into the sky, a prominent feature of Downtown Fort Worth's skyline in Texas.
I used to think of her as 'my tree'
but she's world famous in New Zealand ;-)
Still.. I can't resist spending time with her...
so I'm adding to a small series of images
I've made of her over the years.
More to follow ;-)
Really she's a superstar... for a glimpse of some of the many images of her around: www.google.co.nz/search?q=Lone+Tree+of+Wanaka&client=... :-)
if you can be someone ?
it's not about you ... it's about me, honey :)
did anyone notice a small cute bud between them ? ... this is the explanation for the title :)
In the distance, the Strasbourg Cathedral or the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, or Cathédrale de Strasbourg, German: Liebfrauenmünster zu Straßburg or Straßburger Münster), also known as Strasbourg Minster, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Strasbourg, Alsace, France. Although considerable parts of it are still in Romanesque architecture, it is widely considered to be among the finest examples of high, or late, Gothic architecture.

This lovely design is from Miyuki Kawamura. When you turn them, you will have a different view.
The name origami "Dualo" came from the polyhedron of the center of the model. Here you can see two modules.
You can make several variations with this nice module:
-The little ones are made from 6 modules each.
-The middle ones made from 12 modules each and you can choose for a 3 or 4 unit of modules, which gives different results.
-For the bigger ones you need 30 modules each and also here the choice is 3 or 5 unit.
I used these 60 modules also for an other pattern.
Each module is folded from 7,5x7,5 cm, duo-colered paper.

Two of three female African lions (Pantera leo) that have been hunting together. After their meal, they went to the watering hole for a drink, then spent time relaxing and grooming nearby. The traces of blood on their coat are from their most recent hunt.

Taughannock Falls Creek. The limestone surface is full of solution pits that were formed from rain over a very long time. I never saw this before so I had to enquire about it and look it up. Nature is amazing!

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.

Arar, sembrar, segar, hacer gavillas, acarrear la mies, trillar, cosechar… Un microrrelato en el que se recuerdan los viejos y duros oficios de las gentes del campo:
—¡Padre, padre… déjeme las botas… que yo iré a arar, que ya se uncir las vacas!—; así le dijo el hijo a su padre, pues veía que el duro trabajo de arar era terrible, y su padre traía las manos ajadas del frío y de tirar del ronzal y guiar.
—¡Madre, póngale a padre manteca en las manos y envuélvaselas en los trapos limpios de lino!—. Y así pasó el duro invierno después de la siembra. Era por principios de julio, cuando en las plazas se ponían aquellos segadores a hoz, para que los contrataran… venían del Bierzo y de la Galicia de interior, y mientras segaban cantaban… —“Ya vienen los segadores en busca de sus amores, después de segar y segar…”—, mientras iban haciendo gavillas; al día siguiente venían los carreteros a acarrear la mies.
—¡Ten cuidado con la purridera… que la carga el diablo!,— le gritaba el que estaba encima del carro, al que le subía las gavillas con aquella larga horca… y así se cargaban los carros que luego había que llevar a las eras. A veces moría una vaca, y bueno, el burro para trillar… había que uncir vaca con burro. “Cien haces son suficientes para una “parva” señera…”.
—¡A la trilla, trilladoras, que el alba amarilla brilla!—. Después de trillar había que aventar para separar el grano de la paja, al atardecer se hacía esa labor, con la brisa y lanzando la mies al viento; luego llegaron las máquinas manuales, las beldadoras… “Era por julio y agosto, la beldadora se atragantaba con tanta mies… ese año no hacía hambre en las casas del silencio”…

In 2006 hatte ich zwei mal die Gelegenheit, in das Tal der Havasupai Indianer zu wandern und diesen großartigen Wasserfall zu sehen und natürlich zu fotografieren. Leider zerstörte eine Flut im Jahr 2008 einen Teil der schönen Kalk-Sinter-Terrassen.
Dieses Bild entstand um die Mittagszeit bei Schleierwolken und starkem Wind. Der erste Hauch von Herbst lag über dem Tal. Ich wartete lange an der einzigen Stelle, an der man wegen der Sträucher und Bäume diesen Blick auf den Wasserfall mit den Terrassen im Vordergrund hatte.
In 2006, I had two times the opportunity to migrate into the valley of the Havasupai Indians and see this magnificent waterfall and take pictures of course . Unfortunately, destroyed a flood in 2008 a part of the beautiful lime sinter terraces .
This picture was taken around noon at clouds and strong winds . The first hint of autumn lay over the valley . I waited a long time at the only place where you had this view of the waterfall with the terraces in the foreground because of the shrubs and trees .
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Während Olga und Fynn sich schon im Wasser abkühlen, sitzt Charlotte neben Charly in der Sonne. Charly hofft immer noch, dass er so braun wie seine Charlotte wird. 😄
While Olga and Fynn are already cooling off in the water, Charlotte is sitting next to Charly in the sun. Charly still hopes that he will be as brown as his Charlotte. 😄

Yes, I admit, that is a terrible pun, but I couldn't resist.
