Panoramablick vom Wildalpjoch über das Inntal hinweg zum Zahmen und Wilden Kaiser bis zum Alpenhauptkamm. Welch ein Novembertag!
El castillo de Burgalimar (del árabe Burj al-Hamma, 'torre de los Baños'), es una fortaleza califal, construida en el siglo x sobre un pequeño cerro que domina la localidad de Baños de la Encina, situada en el norte de la provincia de Jaén (Andalucía, España).
Rodeado y flanqueado por una robusta y almenada muralla con catorce torres, más una decimoquinta torre del homenaje de factura cristiana, el castillo apenas ha sufrido daños, ya sean causados por el tiempo o la acción humana. Representa por tanto un ejemplo perfecto de fortaleza andalusí del siglo x, y constituye el conjunto fortificado mejor preservado de la época califal, al mismo tiempo que es uno de los castillos musulmanes mejor conservados de toda España. Su inestimable valor histórico y artístico es la razón por la que este castillo llegó a ser declarado como Monumento Nacional en 1931.1os de la Encina (Jaén)

Poema de mi amigo rafael-angel:
Las siluetas noche eran,
remanso equino de apacentamiento
do las nieblas esteran
con hielo arropamiento,
yacija de sol para el nacimiento.

Acueducto romano de Tarragona, también conocido como Puente del Diablo (Pont del Diable) o Acueducto de les Ferreres.
Esta magnífica construcción tenía como fin recoger el agua del río Francolí y transportarla hasta la ciudad.
Su construcción se sitúa en el siglo I dC.
La conducción recogía el agua en la actual localidad de Puigdelfí y la conducía hasta Tárraco. El puente de les Ferreres se construyó para salvar un valle natural.
The Augustusburg and Falkenlust Palaces form a historical building complex in Brühl, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, which has been listed as a UNESCO cultural World Heritage Site since 1984. The buildings are connected by the spacious gardens and trees of the Schlosspark. Augustusburg Palace (German: Schloss Augustusburg) and its parks also serve as a venue for the Brühl Palace Concerts. The Max Ernst Museum is located nearby.
Falkenlust hunting lodge was designed by François de Cuvilliés and built from 1729 to 1740, in the style of the Amalienburg hunting lodge in the park of Nymphenburg Palace.
From shortly after World War II until 1994, Augustusburg was used as a reception hall for guests of state by the German President, as it is not far from Bonn, which was the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany at that time.

From the archives, January 2015.
That was only four years ago, but the climate has changed so dramatically since then, that there are few days now that would be cool enough to go out shooting.
Male superb fairy-wren, Callum Brae, Australian Capital Territory.
Taken at Portobello Beach - Edinburgh, Some old posts and some mussels and a starfish. There were tons of Starfish washed up on the beach and hanging on to the Groynes and posts, apparently due to the sea bed being disturbed with the hurricane winds that hit the UK
Rolling golden fields in E. Yorkshire, UK. This one was almost named 'The Birds' as this was the only day that the conditions did what I wanted for the shot and every time the sun hid, huge flocks took to the sky , noisily from wherever they were feeding , producing the strange dots, streaks and striations! A happy one from this year :)
