A prosperous establishment of the early 1870's, with an elegant Mansard roof, small tower and iron grillwork. Sign of the growth associated with the construction of the Third Welland Canal (1871-1882). Its neighbour, 325 St. Paul St., is a well maintained example of the same period
La Réserve nationale de faune de la Baie de L’Isle-Verte
L'Isle-Verte (Bas-Saint-Laurent), Québec
La Réserve nationale de faune (RNF) de la Baie de l’Isle-Verte constituée de vastes étendues de marais, est située sur la rive sud de l’estuaire moyen du fleuve Saint-Laurent à 30 km au nord-est de la municipalité de Rivière-du-Loup. Ce territoire de 406 ha s’étend sur une bande riveraine de quelques 20 km le long du Saint-Laurent. Créée en 1980 par Environnement Canada, la réserve protège le plus important marais à spartine du Québec méridional, dernier grand vestige de ce type d’habitat vital pour la survie du Canard noir, ce qui lui a aussi valu d’être reconnue comme zone humide d'importance internationale en vertu de la Convention de Ramsar.

L'Isle-Verte (Bas-Saint-Laurent), Quebec
The Baie de l'Isle-Verte National Wildlife Area (NWA) encompasses a broad expanse of marshland lying on the south shore of the Upper Estuary of the St. Lawrence River 30 km northeast of Rivière-du-Loup. With an area of 406 ha, it covers a riparian strip running some 20 km along the St. Lawrence. Established in 1980 by Environment Canada, its purpose is to protect the largest Spartina marsh in southern Quebec, the last great vestige of this habitat vital to the survival of the American Black Duck, which has led to its being designated a Wetland of International Significance under the Ramsar Convention.

poi viene notte :-))))
non è uno "splendor di foto" ma solo un promemoria importante:
viene la notte qui, ma più in là ad ovest questo tramonto continua a spandere la sua bellezza e a spalancare di meraviglia gli occhi che lo incontrano...
...un po' come i cerchi a pelo d'acqua che si allargano ...
l'ultima foto di una serata speciale.
GRAZIE per il vostro tempo e i vostri commenti ...
THANK YOU for your time and your comments!

Bien podría haber ser el escenario del concierto de Año Nuevo de hoy.
La sala de conciertos del Palau de la Música de Barcelona es un espacio luminoso y colorido compuesto por vidrieras, en el que cada detalle está cuidado al máximo para sumergir a los espectadores en un mundo de fantasía.
Bustos, relieves y esculturas llenan de magia la sala y el escenario creando el ambiente ideal para disfrutar de cualquier tipo de música que se interprete en las instalaciones.
El Palau de la Música Catalana es una perla arquitectónica del modernismo catalán, la única sala de conciertos modernista declarada Patrimonio Mundial por la UNESCO (4 de diciembre de 1997), que en la actualidad es un punto de encuentro ineludible de la vida cultural y social de Cataluña. Además constituye un patrimonio simbólico y sentimental de todo un pueblo que se identifica con su historia.

Der Kirchturm der Gleschendorfer Kirche steht direkt vor der untergehenden Sonne und spiegelt sich somit auch im Großen Pönitzer See, dabei ist er ca. 1 km vom See entfernt.
Beautiful Early Marsh-orchid (Dachtylorhiza incarnata subsp. incarnata). The genus name Dachtylorhiza means finger-lobed tubers in Greek (‘dactylos’ – finger, ‘rhiza’ – root) with reference to its palmately divided (2-5 lobes) tubers; while ‘incarnata’ in Latin means ‘to make into flesh’. So, the two scientific names together could sound quite poetic: ‘The flesh raised from roots’. Taken at Clattinger Farm, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, Wiltshire, England.
Looking in the deepness of the eyes of this ageless Sadhu, I can perceive everuthing which has bewitched me of India, wisdom, sadness, life, death, richness, poverty, story, courage, tradition and the people. India is an ancient and strange place, difficult to understand and to know, but easy to love.
A small falls near Girdwood Alaska. Loved the rainforest that surrounded it. Pure enchantment.
Weeks half over! Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Located in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, Dark Hollow Falls is one of the most popular hikes in the park. Although the trail loop is less than 2 miles, the entirety of the hike and trail is set upon a very steep incline.
I was lucky to snag this image on the hike back up (and you better believe it was tough!). This particular vantage point was VERY crowded with other tourists; fortunately, I was able to wiggle my way to the front and this awesome shot was the result. Some late afternoon light left a brilliant glow on the upper falls that gave a nice contrast to the darker, more ominous shade from the foliage overhead. Not a bad way to end a tough hike!
When we arrived to the Rijksmuseum, there was a street band playing some amazing music, which filled the entire tunnel. Here is a sample of them: youtu.be/kiSIMRuqAjo
Here's a dramatic sunset on teh Zanskar peaks, higher than 6000mt; in Ladakh, India, a remote place located a 3600mt over the Sea Level. I definitely love to travel the world and I think I will never stop until I can.
I found this seagull perched on a post leading out to the rougher waters of the area surrounding Venice. There were boats by each home or building there because after all it is only one of two ways to navigate Venice. The other is by walking.
