Den Helder is often called "Windy City" , but that day there was absolutely no wind. :)
Willemsoord is a large former dockyard of the Royal Netherlands Navy in Den Helder. It is now a maritime museum, housing the Dutch Navy Museum and the Nationaal Reddingmuseum Dorus Rijkers. In 2009 the replica of the Dutch East India Company ship Prins Willem which was located in a dock (visitable by the public) burned down.
Tramonto al Mare
Il mare non ha paese nemmen lui, ed è di tutti quelli che lo stanno ad ascoltare, di qua e di là dove nasce e muore il sole.

Sunset at the sea
The sea has no country, not even him, and belongs to all who listen to him, here and there where the sun is born and dies.

Old Swedish cottage painted in the typical distinct red colour known as Falu red (Falu rödfärg) - a very popular paint from the 17th century onwards, at first on mansions built in wood that were painted to imitate brickwork(!) but later on on all kinds of houses and cottages. The paint originated as a byproduct of the copper mines in Falun (hence the name).

From the side. The Walhalla memorial is a hall of fame that honours distinguished people "of the German tongue".
The idea for such a memorial is from (at that time) Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1807. The building in neoclassicistic style, modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, was finally begun in 1830 and completed in 1842.

De/From Wikipedia:
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islas_flotantes_de_los_uros
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Los Uros, son un pueblo ancestral que actualmente se concentra en la meseta del Collao y en el Perú en las islas flotantes ubicadas en la bahÃa de Puno sobre el lago Titicaca.
El término «uros» proviene de la palabra aimara «qhana uru» («qhana» quiere decir claro; «uru» significa dÃa, por lo tanto significa dÃa claro). «Uri», que significa indómito, chucaro, bravo, por lo que los uros fueron uri urus, es decir hombres indómitos, claros y salvajes, descendientes de un grupo étnico llamado «qapi», cuya lengua era el pukina, hoy extinta. Actualmente los habitantes de los uros hablan el aimara, y castellano.
Las islas flotantes son un conjunto de superficies artificiales habitables construidas de totora (jucos), una planta acuática que crece en la superficie del lago Titicaca.
La construcción de estas islas se hace tejiendo las totoras en las zonas en donde crece más densa, formando una capa natural a la que los uros denominan khili. Sobre esta capa construyen sus viviendas, también de una malla tejida de totora a la que denominan "estera". Cada vivienda está compuesta por una sola habitación. Cocinan al aire libre para evitar incendios.
En el Perú existen más de 20 islas de la etnia uro chulluni. El número de familias que ocupan una isla es variable, pero en general oscila entre tres y diez. Entre las principales islas, destacan: Tupiri, Santa MarÃa, Tribuna, Toranipata, Chumi, ParaÃso, Kapi, Titino, Tinajero y Negrone.
Según la última encuesta, las Islas Uros tienen una población de 272 familias identificadas.
En marzo del 2007, la etnia uro irohito inicia la construcción de 4 islas en la zona boliviana. AsÃ, la primera isla flotante de totora en Boliviadenominada Pachakamak, ve la luz, seguidas de Phuwa, Balsa Hampus e Inti Huata, gracias a un plan turÃstico dirigido desde La Paz.

I was up in Perthshire this morning and these trees caught my eye - the colours were absolutely stunning.
I set off at 5am on a 3 hour drive to get the sunrise on Buachaille Etive Mor (the mountain in the background). The weather forecast had said it would be clear at first with rain moving in later. You can see from the sky that was not quite the case when I got there. It's not the photo I wanted and I've had to tweak this a lot but I wanted to post some outcome for my day!!
Der Luftkur- und Wintersportort liegt etwa 14 km nordnordwestlich von Trient auf einer Höhe von 864 m s.l.m. östlich der Brenta-Gruppe am Ufer des Lago di Molveno und zu Füßen des östlich gelegenen Massivs der Paganella.
Der etwa 4 km langen Molvenossee, der bis zu 120 m tief ist, wird durch einen kleinen Bach und mehrere kleine Zuflüsse aus den Bergen gespeist.
