Walking to the top of the cliff to enjoy the sunrise om the Atlantic Ocean at Percé.

Those crisp cloud-funnels looked almost like smoke!

It was pretty stormy here all through September...

J'ai pris avec gourmandise cette dernière photo du magnifique clocher roman de l'abbaye de Cluny. C'était une belle image à garder avant de repartir

I took with relish this last shot showing the beautiful Romanesque bell tower of Cluny's abbey. It was a beautiful image to keep before leaving.

Lying halfway between Lisbon and Oporto in the Beiras region of central Portugal, venerable Coimbra nestles on the banks of the River Mondego in dignified glory. Famed for its university - the oldest in the country - and a fantastic collection of handsome churches, serene monasteries, and lively cultural institutions, Coimbra is also a busy commercial hub with its many shops, boutiques, and appetizing choice of cafés and restaurants. The city center is divided into two neighborhoods, the Lower Town and the Upper Town. Its historic heart lies high above the Mondego on Alcaçova hill, known to the Romans as Aeminium. Here, medieval convents, cathedrals, and some fine museums cluster around the old University. Kings were born in Coimbra; they are entombed here, too. Indeed, it was once the proud capital of the Portuguese nation. This royal heritage permeates the city's steep hills, narrow lanes, and verdant parks, all of which are best explored on foot. And exploration further afield is rewarded with the largest and most compelling Roman site in Portugal, and an emerald-hued forest of enchanting allure and breathtaking beauty.

 

In terms of historic significance and romantic beauty, Coimbra is second only to Lisbon and Oporto. Its ancient buildings cling to the side of the hill that rises above the curves of the river Mondego, the ornate buildings of the famous University of Coimbra are its crowning glory. We are accessing the old part of the city through the Arco de Almedina, we find the old cathedral known as Se Velha. The most picturesque way to enter Coimbra's labyrinth of lanes is via Arco de Almedina. Coimbra's upper town rises quickly and picturesquely from the banks of the Rio Mondego. Photo taken from Hotel Astória.

 

De Portugese stad Coimbra heeft tijdens de middeleeuwen gefungeerd als hoofdstad. Destijds stond de stad bekend als Aeminium. De plaats ligt ongeveer 120 kilometer ten zuiden van de stad Porto vandaan. In Coimbra zijn veel waardevolle herinneringen bewaard gebleven die ons meer kunnen vertellen over de afgelopen zeven eeuwen. De universiteit heeft hier een groot aandeel in gehad. De vele studenten die de stad telt zorgen dat de plaatselijke horeca niets te kort komt. Er zijn dan ook veel gezellige clubs, bars, terrassen en restaurants te vinden. Qua festivals doet de stad Coimbra het ook erg goed. Massaal trekken bezoekers richting de stad als de ‘Festa das Latas of Queima das Fitas’ de stad lijken over te nemen. De studenten houden de historie volle stad Coimbra goed in leven. De rust vind je vooral in de groene delen van de stad. Parken zoals Penedo da Saudade, Santa Cruz Park, Mata Nacional do Choupal en de botanische tuin van de universiteit worden dan ook veelvuldig bezocht door zowel gasten als de lokale bevolking zelf. We wandelen door de straatjes en steegjes naar de best bewaarde oude Kathedraal van Coimbra. De Kathedraal uit de Romaanse periode trekt jaarlijks duizenden bezoekers. De binnenkant is even prachtig als de buitenkant doet vermoeden. Met name het schip en het hoofdaltaar zijn exceptioneel. Ook zijn er veel graven aanwezig die bestaan uit de meest bijzondere beeldhouwkunst. Vooral het graf van Vataça Lascaris met daarop het symbool van de tweekoppige adelaar waaruit men opmaakt dat zij van adel was, is een ware schat.

Have a nice day!

Elle était sur la plage,

Caressait de sa main le sable

Le sentir, ressentir.

Pour elle, ces moments n'ont pas de prix.

Toucher les éléments

Sentir l'odeur de l'ocean

Ressentir sur sa peau le soleil

Je la regardais caresser le sable depuis un moment,je me suis approchée et lui ai demandé de prendre ses mains en photos.

  

Today I was going by bike again. I have visited three "heads" (Kleinheppacher Kopf - 452 m, Hörnleskopf - 426 m and Korber Kopf - 456 m).

On the picture you see the view from Korber Kopf at the vineyard and the town Korb (a municipality in the Rems-Murr district, 15 km northeast of Stuttgart).

Man walking on the shore at the Forillon National Park under the sunlight rays through the clouds.

Everyone loves spring.

The weather starts to warm, the birds start to sing, kittens and puppies are everywhere. Leaves come out and flowers bloom.

 

Beautiful spring in Finland.

La basilique de Fourvière a été édifiée dans le dernièr quart du XIXème siècle et inaugurée en 1896. Elle domine toute la ville de LYon.

Lyon

Dernière halte dans l'escalier escarpé montant à Fourvière, j'étais rouge en arrivant en haut de cet escalier ! La vue extraordinaire sur le vieux Lyon et sur la cathédrale Saint-Jean qui se dégage encore un peu plus m'a bien récompensé de l'effort.

 

NB : J'ai hésité à choisir entre cette photo et la première de la montée (CF commentaire en dessous) qui montrent chacune l'escalier qu'il a fallu gravir. Mais pour finir, je les ai mises chacune en ligne sur Flickr, car je trouve qu'elles le valent toutes les deux.

This view of the Vieux Lyon and Saint John cathedral filled me with joy

 

Last pause on the steep stairs rising to Fourvière, i was red when reaching the top of the stairs! The outstanding view of the Vieux Lyon ("old Lyon") and Saint John cathedral, which emerges still more, rewarded me well for the effort.

 

NB: I hesitated to choose between this shot and the first of the rise (see comment below) that each show the stairs I had to climb.

But finally, i got to put each online in Flickr, because i think they are both worth of it.

My Favorite house in Gaspesie. Unfortunately this house was eaten by several cold winters and wind and it's on the floor right now.

La baie du Mont Saint-Michel est un espace privilégié pour les oiseaux.

On y a observé 347 espèces d'oiseaux. Chaque hiver, à la mi-janvier, on y dénombre entre 100 000 et 150 000 oiseaux.

canon5d2+samyang 14mm f2,8 20s iso4000 - 20 shots with geminids merged of about 500 totally made during continious shooting on december 14/15.

 

After i returned back home from the forest lake where i was shooing privious pano with meteors i sat down in my garden chair and just stared at meteors falling here and there. The activity was really fine and i wanted to relax a bit, so i left camera shooting automatically with 20s exposures. After an hour and a half i went to sleep and when i got up i realised my 14mm lens was covered with hoar frost! Was a bit pity, but as i founf later i had already captured some great meteors which i merged into this resulting image. So sad the upper left geminid didnt fit the frame properly!! Perhaps the next year i'll try to shoot some shower using 8mm samyang lens thus aiming to cath the big fat ones mostly xD

 

Also check my other meteor showers composites:

Cette magnifique fontaine appelée "la fontaine des mers" est une des 2 fontaines inaugurées en 1840 qui ornent la Place de Concorde à Paris.

On aperçoit en face le Palais Bourbon qui abrite la Chambre des Députés.

The resolution to my last photo (see the photo at daylight in my commen):

It is a candle lantern on my balcony table. I hope you have had fun with my little guessing game.

 

Congrats to Romero, elfenstaub, Cajaflex, barbara fizek and Stefano Demurtas, they were right with their idea!

Robert was near, but it is no chinese red lantern same for caroline gray.

Have a beautiful and happy weekend everybody !

Taken this summer in Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada

Per te che curi questo amore

come fosse un fiore delicato

e ci metti tutto,

tutto ciò che riesci a dare,

e comprendi un mondo

che i miei occhi

sanno appena immaginare...

 

*

 

A te..

  

 

期待了近一年,終於完成了。

最感謝團長Max的策劃與高山美食家美枝,夜夜共眠的冠穎,還有其它一眾朋友們,大家都好棒,這趟行程真是太讚了!
