The Statue de la Liberte in #Colmar, #France is a copy of the one in New York. It is a tribute to the sculptor who was from Colmar. It is in the middle of a roundabout.

#Whitehaven Beach has the best sand of any beach I've ever been to. I didn't see so much as a pebble and the sand was like talcum powder. #Queensland, #Australia.

The #StawamusChief as viewed from the Stawamus River. #Squamish #BC #Canada. It has a rock face for climbing and three trails to the three peaks on the back side. It is a 6 km hike to the 3rd peak, slightly less for the other two. It is grueling with lots of challenges.

I'm a fan of dappled sunlight. It is helpful that the forests have such deep shades of green that pop in the sunlight. #Squamish #BC #photography

I'm a loonatic. I love these birds that proliferate on northern lakes. Usually they are seen either solo or in mating pairs. This group of #loons is unusual.
