A Soldier's Best Friend Tremendous Nature Photography May 8th, 2011 Rachel In recent decades the term surroundings has gain wide practice. Jay Appleton (see Environmental psychology) distinguished environment from landscape by referring to the latter as “the environment perceived”.

Time Out in Montpellier France | French American Center English Blog If you area tippler you have a plethora of quality options in and around Montpellier. There are many more possibilities in the libations department here now than there were even 5 years ago. Beer If beer is your preferred poison and it takes more than the mere Heineken or standard Kronenburg to satisfy your thirst then you should be delighted that there are a greater number of establishments offering a more varied selection. Until very recently there have been very few places offering more than the standard selection of industrial beers. Even the ‘Anglo’ bars employed zero imagination when sourcing. Now a lot of the Anglo pubs in town offer an interesting mix off bottled brews including ales, ciders and bitters. You can have a beer there or take away as much as you like. Wine: It is astonishing to think that in 2002 there were no wine bars whatsoever in Montpellier. The majority of the Muscat production is also from this region.

Happy New Year" Happy New Year / 30 December, 2009 [click for previous image: let it snow #3] Happy New Year / 30 December, 2009 [click for next image: ringing in the new year] Title • Happy New Year I've spent the last couple of days wondering what to post to close out the year and then came across this entry on momentaryawe.com (run by my good friend Catalin Marin): his twelve favourite shots from 2009, one from each month. So, with credit to Catalin for the idea, here are my twelve favourites for the preceding year. Had I selected images from the year as a whole I suspect that there would be a couple of changes, and I also suspect that some of you would make different choices from each month, but when I looked back through the images I'd posted this year these are the ones that gave me most pleasure to produce. As always, let me know what you think. On a different matter: don't forget that there are just a few days left in which to snap up a 15% discount on our Photoshop tutorials.

Watkins Glen State Park Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks located on the edge of the village of Watkins Glen, New York, south of Seneca Lake in Schuyler County. The main feature of the park is the hiking trail that climbs up through the gorge, passing over and under waterfalls. The park has a lower part that is next to the village and an upper part that is open woodland. Watkins Glen State Park is in a 400-foot-deep narrow gorge cut through rock by a stream that was left hanging when glaciers of the Ice age deepened the Seneca valley, increasing the tributary stream gradient to create rapids and waterfalls wherever there were layers of hard rock. The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade.
