Antwerp (Dutch: Antwerpen; French: Anvers) is the largest city in Belgium by area at 204.51 km2 (78.96 sq mi) and the capital of Antwerp Province in the Flemish Region. With a population of 520,504, it is the most populous city center in Belgium, and with a metropolitan population of around 1,200,000 people; it is the second-largest metropolitan region after Brussels.
Antwerp is on the River Scheldt, linked to the North Sea by the river's Westerschelde estuary. It is about 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Brussels, and about 15 kilometres (9 mi) south of the Dutch border. The Port of Antwerp is one of the biggest in the world, ranking second in Europe and within the top 20 globally. The city is also welknown for being the hub of diamond industry and trade in the world. In 2020, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network rated Antwerp as a Gamma + (third level/top tier) Global City.
Both economically and culturally, Antwerp is and has long been an important city in the Low Countries, especially before and during the Spanish Fury (1576) and throughout and after the subsequent Dutch Revolt. The Bourse of Antwerp, originally built in 1531 and re-built in 1872, was the world's first purpose-built commodity exchange. It was founded before stocks and shares existed, so was not strictly a stock exchange.
The inhabitants of Antwerp are nicknamed Sinjoren, after the Spanish honorific señor or French seigneur, "lord", referring to the Spanish noblemen who ruled the city in the 17th century. The city hosted the 1920 Summer Olympics.

Titre : Approche du Château de Kilchurn !!!
La virée Ecossaise continue...
Qui n'a pas rêvé étant gosses pour les garçons, de jouer aux "gendarmes et aux voleurs" et d'attaquer le château de son "ennemi"; Couché dans l'herbe à guetter le moment propice de l'attaque générale !!!
Pour les filles, une autre vision, celle, d'être couchées dans le foin avec le soleil pour témoin, à rêver ou faire des galipettes avec son chevalier servant !!!
Cette vision de "Kilchurn Castle", peut se développer de centaines de façons différentes...
Et quand on voit, comment est posé ce bâtiment, au bord d'un lac, au milieu d'une plaine de tourbières, il devait être compliqué de s'en approcher sans être vu.
J'y reviendrais avec une autre photo plus "conventionnelle".

While I was folding "Little Blocks", I noticed a origami face, actually two ;-)) The first face in the 'big' tessellation, so I folded it again, but with a different paper, thicker and with more texture, and in the end I wet-folded it, to get this "Block-face-one".
Folded from 15x15cm piece of paper.
The second origami face is folded from just one module of this tessellation, and called "Block-face-too".
Folded from 7,5x7,5cm.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
...are alike. Well, maybe they are but you often have different densities and clear areas that allow or disallow you to take a 'different' shot. If it weren't for the variables, we might not come back to a composition.
Thanks for having a look!
