as this is a macro challenge – I am slowly making my way to it – as I automatically thought of street corners, windows, everything in bigger scale…

Heceta Head Lighthouse – Oregon
The Heceta Head Lighthouse and Light Keeper’s house are circa 1894. Both are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The lighthouse is a working lighthouse. From a height of 205 feet above the ocean, its “first order” Fresnel lens, casts it’s beams some 21 miles out to sea. It is the brightest light on the Oregon coast. It is said to be the most photographed lighthouse in the United States.
The Heceta Head Keeper’s House is perched on a cliff with a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean and the beach below. Paths from the Keeper’s House lead both to the beach and to the lighthouse.

Takana/ Behind
What can I say, these are close – ups of something behind. I took the challenge literally… the fly agaric is behind grass
one of the pine cones is behind the others,,, why am I explaining these?
this table setting is behind the window…yes I know this is not a close-up..I could do with a glass of wine…

Cats in the nature
the wonderful colors of autumn
Heinola bird garden
Heinola bird garden was established in 1963. Heinola Town Supervisor, Anthony Bosley donated a variety of parrots to the city, and the bird nursery started. Over the years the business has expanded. Bird nursery’s mission is to take care of injured wild birds and return them to back to the nature after recovery. About 300 birds have been treated so far, but the number of lives all the time. The annual number of treated birds is approximately 200 – 250 individuals, of which about 30-40% can be returned back to the wild.
The main causes of injuries are, traffic, power lines and various types of large glass surfaces. These birds that wont survive in the wild, but are able to live independently at the shelter, remain in the nursery. . Many species, such as owls are difficult to spot in the wild
Here are few pictures I was able to take there,,,
Autumn colors
I took these photos during the weekend…beautiful colors. There was so much leaves falling down the trees, autumn is here for sure.

Weekly photo challenge – inside
I had trouble deciding what kind of pictures I would like to add to this. Here are two different approaches to it. The first picture are taken in valley of the Kings in Cyprus
Spread over a vast area, these impressive underground tombs date back to the 4th century BC. They are carved out of solid rock while some are decorated with Doric pillars. High officials rather than Kings were buried here, but the magnificence of the tombs gave the locality its name.
The other set is home of the elephant farm workers in Thailand…totally different take.
