Avila, Spain..notice the storks nests

Barbe, no, not my shots. I follow the US Dept of Interior on Twitter and they are always posting the most amazing photos. The two I posted are here in MT where I live, not to mention quite awesome!

This is the statue of Sta. Teresa of Avila...

She is always associated with roses

Calcium Carbonate

Where is that? It's beautiful in an erie way. -
Travertine Terraces of Pamukkale, Turkey. They are hot springs that deposit calcium carbonate as a side effect. Just lovely.
-
Also a popular vacation spot!
-
they are really interesting

We wanted to see those calcium waterfalls when we were in Turkey but we were just too far away. Lovely!!
-
Just wondering - do you all really find this Peaceful Contemplation??? Want opinions... No picture in particular.. For the rest of this page we can converse then go back to pictures only.
-
Gma, I like being able to comment on pics that move me. We are only talking about what is posted, so it IS very peaceful. No cancer, no treatment plans, etc. Please let us keep commenting!!!
-
comments are welcome in my opinion
-
That isn't what I meant Barbe - *Hugs* - You commenting on a picture is no problem. They have been short and sweet.
We have always kept the comments to a minimum - PMs for long conversations. That was why I gave permission to discuss this. This was supposed to be a quiet/calming picture only type of topic - The Premise of Topic is below:
"I have been told by many, that my pictures are so peaceful. So here is Picture #1 to start your journey. Come here to retreat whenever you like and remember to breathe. Know that God and the ladies on this board are here for you. Please keep long conversations in PMs to each other."
I don't find, I am feeling peaceful here anymore... That is all.. I feel like it is a competition on who has the fanciest picture.. They are beautiful.. I just feel it has grown into something else. Maybe just a crappy hot day today. I think I will leave it to you all to do what you will.

GmaFoley, I hesitated before posting the 'vacation spot' because it looked too busy. Sorry about that. I truly did find the other two I posted were in fact peaceful to me. And meaningful because Calcium Carbonate is the prime raw material where I work. I apologize as my second to last post was definitely not peaceful. Sorry. Rome, however, was taken out the window of our bus and although it may not be peaceful, it certainly is gorgeous. It was my first trip to continental Europe.
I don't think that it is competitive, although I must admit to having been intimidated by the sheer beauty of some of the images these ladies have captured. And I ALWAYS love the views from your mountain.
I hope you don't stop posting, because there have been times at work when I have just gone out to sit in my car and view your pictures. Then I can go back to whatever drove me out of the office with a better frame of mind.

I (perhaps strangely) find architecture to be quite peaceful, but am fine with with whatever way you want to go with the thread.
-
this is one of my favorite places.. I so enjoy all these beautiful and yes, peaceful pictures..GmaFoley thank you for starting this lovely site..
-
This is meant to be a peaceful spot for the Moors in Grenada..
-
BTW no one has ownership of a thread.

Hi ladies,I'm the floater but I do understand what GmaFoley is saying. I looked to this site for peaceful and meditative type photos. I like the birds, the nature, the ones that take your breath away, even sets a state of mind that you would use to meditate by, so I get it. We've traveled so I've plenty of those photos but I so enjoy the ones of a different kind. Maybe a different thread should be started for nature and meditation...
