View of Cressbrook Dale, Peak District, Derbyshire, UK , Late July 2016

In the distance, the Strasbourg Cathedral or the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, or Cathédrale de Strasbourg, German: Liebfrauenmünster zu Straßburg or Straßburger Münster), also known as Strasbourg Minster, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Strasbourg, Alsace, France. Although considerable parts of it are still in Romanesque architecture, it is widely considered to be among the finest examples of high, or late, Gothic architecture.

Toulouse nació a orillas del río Garona, fresca, hermosa y acuática.

 

Tal vez por ello la capital histórica de la provincia del Languedoc y del departamento del Alto Garona fue perdiendo murallas a medida que iba ganando canales, y tal vez por ello la Ciudad Rosa, así llamada por el color de sus ladrillos, invita a un recorrido por sus aguas centelleantes.

 

En ellas se reflejan árboles soberbios, puentes centenarios y molinos medievales.

 

Pasear por la orilla del rio Garonne entre el Pont Neuf y el puente de Saint Pierre y entre este y el de los catalanes es una delicia. Zona de ocio donde los jóvenes se sientan en la orilla del rio para pasar la tarde.

 

One of my personal favourite places in Norway. The amazing Olden valley, with it`s stunning mountains, waterfalls, lakes and glaciers.

Instant Karma by John Lennon:

 

"Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you right on the head

You better get yourself together

Pretty soon you're gonna be dead

What in the world you thinking of

Laughing in the face of love

What on earth you tryin' to do

It's up to you, yeah you."

 

Pictured here is the remains of the (aptly named) SS Instant Karma. Just as Mr. Lennon predicted, Instant Karma was knocked right upside her head (or bow), as she now lies forever in the shallows of the Captree Boat Basin.

Je sais, j'exagère un peu, mais l'hiver sera long !

I know, it's too much, but winter is going tol last long !

Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.

 

Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.

Facade of "Haus Neuerburg", a building designed by architect Fritz Höger in the late 1920s for a cigarette factory in Hamburg-Wandsbek. It constitutes one of the finest examples of the so-called "brick expressionism".

I get a deep sense of inner peace when I see a beautiful bird such as this roseate spoonbill feeding and preening in a glassy surfaced lagoon, bathed in early morning light.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

HMBT!

Cette photo a été inspirée par le vide totale de la rue tout juste après minuit, donc on pouvait tout se permettre sans aucune précipitation.

One of marinas where the boats of Venice are moored is located on the outskirts of Venice. Of course, it is a city of boats and sail boats can be found among the huge number of power boats. The sun was setting as we powered by in one of the boats for hire.

Monday was a wonderfully sunny day, just like today - but very cold ! A walk with the family and our dogs was most welcome after a huge lunch - and this is what we saw. A panorama of 3 images edited with Topaz Glow and PicMonkey with a self-made texture. I do hope you like it !

Thank you in advance for all your support - and, as always, thanks for looking !

   

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
