The Rook
Leith Hill is a wooded hill some 7 km to the south west of Dorking, Surrey, England. The tower was built in 1765 by Richard Hull of Leith Hill Place as 'a place for people to enjoy the glory of the English countryside'.
It can be seen from the surrounding countryside and the top is the highest point in South-East England at 1029ft (329m).
From the top you can see sweeping views and on a clear day you can see the English Channel to the south and the clock face of Big Ben in Westminster to the north.LELandscapeLeith Hill Towerbwblack and whitebuildinglong exposuretower

Flourish
In Connemara, Ireland, the landscape is patchwork of tiny plots of land with the dry stone walls the thread that binds them. The tree in this scene seemed determined to make a statement.

Above Gullfoss - Study II
Gullfoss has its origin in a glacier lake about 40km north of Gullfoss in Lángjökull glacier.
Sigríður Tómasdóttir, the daughter of Tómas Tómasson who owned the waterfall in the first half of the 20th century lived at a farm nearby and loved Gullfoss, so much so that she protested very strongly against foreign investors who wanted to build a hydroelectric powerplant and which would have changed and destroyed Gullfoss forever. She was the one that protested so intensely against these plans, even going as far as to threaten to throw herself into Gullfoss and kill herself. As a result powerplant at Gullfoss was never built.
It's, therefore, thanks to her that Gullfoss remains the beautiful, uplifting and impressive experience it remains today.GullfossIcelandLandscapeLandscapesPlacesReykjanes PeninsulaWaterfallbwblack and white
