English Bay has spectacular daily sunsets and you do not even have to leave your 100 sq ft apartment to see one. This beach is actually officially called Sunset . Condominiums are taking over the edge of the ocean all around the city with exception of Stanley Park. I actually thought someone employed a large bearing from mining machine or large mixer to use it as a sculpture. I found out, that it was made by French artist Bernar Venet for Vancouver Biennale (2007?). He calls it poetically 217.5 Arc x 13.

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”…

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.

Sunrise after a dusting of snow overnight - amazing to have a break in the clouds just as the rising sun hit the peaks of the mountains.
One of my all-time favorites:
colorful rock formation "Lollipop Rock", White Pocket, Paria/Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, Arizona before sunset.

Mysterious Flight Traces at the evening sky.

Mysteriöse Flugspuren am Abendhimmel - was hat das zu bedeuten ???
It was a dream time to admire some summits of the Vosges. It was mild, much more than at the bottom of the valleys where someone from Munster where I stopped on my way back told me that it had been cold and gray all week.
It is not very high, the Hohneck on the right rises for example to 1363 m (4471ft) , but this landscape has plenty of charm with these snow-capped summits and these valleys covered in places with fog banks.

Sommets des Vosges
C'était un temps de rêve pour admirer quelques sommets des Vosges. Il faisait doux, bien plus que au fond des vallées où quelqu'un de Munster où je me suis arrêté au retour m'a dit qu'il avait fait froid et gris toute la semaine.
Ce n'est pas très haut, l'Hohneck sur la droite culmine par exemple à 1363 m, mais ce paysage a beaucoup de charme avec ces sommets enneigés et ces vallées recouvertes par endroits de bancs de brume.

Where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in?
