Je suis content d'avoir réussi à poster 2 photos ce WE car je n'avais pas réussi à en poster depuis septembre (ça faisait plus de 2 semaines ...). 😊
France. Vosges. Alsace. Haut-Rhin. Photo prise lors d'une rando en boucle, effectuée seul, au départ de Katzenthal, en passant par le Neuberg, le Sommerberg, le Galtz et la croix de Meywihr. Comme le lendemain vers l'Ungersberg, j'ai pu y voir une ribambelle de parcelles de vignes teintées de magnifiques couleurs (jaune, vert et rouge).
Merci à tous les viticulteurs alsaciens de régaler nos yeux à chaque automne par leur travail acharné de toute l'année !!! 🙏😉
En 2019, je n'ai pas fait de rando dans les vignes alsaciennes pendant le magnifique mois d'octobre. Mais à la place j'ai découvert avec bonheur les environs du Hohneck à cette même période. En 2020, je n'ai pas encore pu profiter d'une belle journée ensoleillée depuis le début du mois. Certes, le mois n'est pas terminé mais c'est mal parti ...
Cette photo a été prise depuis la Croix de Meywihr. On y voit au 2ème plan le village de Kientzheim (qui se situe entre ceux de Kaysersberg et de Sigolsheim, juste avant l'entrée de la Vallée de Kaysersberg), devant les Monts de Sigolsheim. Et tout au fond on peut voir les 3 Châteaux de Ribeauvillé ainsi que le Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg. J'ai également mis 2 petits bonus en légende sur la photo. 😉
The Tasman Bridge is one of the most famous in Australia's history. It links the eastern shore with the main city of Hobart. Before it was built an old rickety bridge (that needed to be lifted to allow passing ships) and ferries were the only way to make the crossing, so fewer people chose to live on that side of the Derwent. But after the bridge was opened in 1964, the whole eastern shore began to grow rapidly. The bridge was built between 1960-64 of Prestressed Concrete design. It is 1,396 metres long and has a maximum height of 60.5 metres.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasman_Bridge:
But the fame of this bridge lies in something that happened one fateful night on January 5, 1975. At exactly 9.27pm on a drizzly misty night, the bulk ore carrier Lake Illawarra, fully loaded with over 9,000 metric tonnes of zinc concentrate ploughed into a pylon. In the resulting shock, two pylons collapsed immediately and a whole section of the bridge fell away. The ship went to the bottom of the deep water and was followed by several cars. 12 people lost their lives that night. Two cars hung precipitously over the edge of the abyss and that image remains a lasting legacy of the disaster. www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-05/memory-of-tasman-bridge-co...
The bridge took two years to rebuild with improved safety measures and reopened to the great relief of Hobart citizens on 8 October 1977.
Incredible footage of the disaster with interviews.
On the way to Beinn Bhrotain, we're climbing Carn Clioch-mhuillin, and from its slopes we have a great view of a lot of Munros in the Cairngorms, from Ben MacDui (Britain's 2nd highest peak) on the left and Carn a Mhaim, right over to Lochnagar on the far right. In front of us running left to right we have Glen Dee, while the Glen to the left and running away from us is Glen Lui.
Beinn Bhrotain (pronounced Bane Vrottan meaning Hill of the Hound) stands at 1157 meters (3796 feet) and is the first of our Munros today. Monadh Mor (pronounced Monnagh Mor meaning The Big Hill) is our second and final destination and stands at 1113 meters (3651 feet). A short 5 mile cycle up Glen Dee gets us to the foot of the climb, then it's an 11 mile hike across rough and boggy ground to get there. An epic 8.5 hours, largely un-pathed, time in the hills gets us back to the cars just before full dark falls!

Croatia is a country in Southeast Europe. It borders Slovenia to the northwest, Hungary to the northeast, Serbia to the east, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro to the southeast, sharing a maritime border with Italy. Croatia was part of the former Yugoslavia. A population of 4 million, most of whom are Catholics. Zagreb is the capital. Balanced between the Balkans and Central Europe, this country has been passed between rival kingdoms, empires and republics for thousands of years. If there is an advantage to this ongoing disruption, it is in the rich cultural legacy each has left behind. From Venetian palaces, Napoleonic fortresses, Slavic churches, Viennese mansions to socialist sculptures. But most attraction is the coastline with the remarkable clarity of the water and white pebbly beach. Despite being the fastest rising holiday destination in Europe in the past decade, Croatia still doesn't feel overrun by tourists. There are long sandy and winding beaches too, perfect for lazy days. Croatia is a beautiful country to discover many different landscapes. Dubrovnik is according to many one of the most beautiful cities on the Adriatic coast. This city in Croatia is also called the Pearl of the Adriatic. The historic center, or rather the completely walled fortress city of Dubrovnik, is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage. This part is still in a remarkably good condition. A wonderful place to discover on foot, it is a city with a diverse, but also rough past. Remarkably, the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, as well as the various monasteries, palaces and fountains have been preserved. They all tell their own story from the Middle Ages. The history of the city probably dates back to the 7th century. The old, completely walled fortress town from the thirteenth century is located at the foot of the mountain Srđ. From the immense city walls and towers you can look out over the city and the sea.
On the right side of the photo you see Fort Lovrijenac outside the western wall of Dubrovnik has a triangular shape and the thickness of the walls facing the outside reach 12 metres and 37 metres above sea level whereas the section of the walls facing the inside, the actual city, are only 60 centimetres thick. On the left side view you see Kolorina bay and Tvrđava Bokar. This massive Oceanside fortress built in the 15th century is noted for its cylindrical architecture. Kolorina is a small, rocky inlet between fortresses, a popular takeoff point for sea kayak tours. Paddle a kayak around the medieval walls and see it from angles many visitors never experience. Kayak across the channel to the waters near Lokrum Island. Swim and snorkel at an isolated beach-cave on the mainland. If you select the evening time slot, enjoy the sunset and chilled wine on the beach too!
Kroatië is een land in Zuidoost-Europa. Het grenst aan Slovenië in het noordwesten, Hongarije in het noordoosten, Servië in het oosten, Bosnië-Herzegovina en Montenegro in het zuidoosten en deelt een maritieme grens met Italië. Kroatië maakte deel uit van het voormalige Joegoslavië. Een bevolking van 4 miljoen, van wie de meesten katholiek zijn. Zagreb is de hoofdstad. In evenwicht tussen de Balkan en Centraal-Europa, wordt dit land al duizenden jaren doorgegeven tussen rivaliserende koninkrijken, rijken en republieken. De meeste attractie is de kustlijn met de opmerkelijke helderheid van het water en het witte kiezelstrand. Ondanks dat het de afgelopen tien jaar de snelst stijgende vakantiebestemming in Europa is, voelt Kroatië zich nog steeds niet overspoeld door toeristen. Dubrovnik is volgens velen één van de mooiste steden van de Adriatische kust. Deze stad wordt ook wel de Parel van de Adriatische Zee genoemd. De compleet ommuurde vestingstad van Dubrovnik, staat op de lijst van Werelderfgoed van UNESCO. Dit deel is nog in een opvallend goede staat. Een heerlijke plek om te voet te ontdekken. Fort Lovrijenac buiten de westelijke muur van Dubrovnik heeft een driehoekige vorm en de dikte van de buitenmuren reikt tot 12 meter en 37 meter boven zeeniveau, terwijl het deel van de muren dat naar binnen gericht is, de eigenlijke stad, slechts 60 centimeter dik is. Aan de rechterkant van de foto zie je Fort Lovrijenac buiten de westelijke muur van Dubrovnik heeft een driehoekige vorm en de dikte van de muren die naar buiten gericht zijn reiken 12 meter en 37 meter boven zeeniveau, terwijl het gedeelte van de muren van de binnenstad slechts 60 centimeter dik zijn. Aan de linkerkant zie je Kolorina baai en Tvrđava Bokar. Dit enorme fort aan de oceaan, gebouwd in de 15e eeuw, staat bekend om zijn cilindrische architectuur. Kolorina is een kleine, rotsachtige inham tussen forten, een populair vertrekpunt voor zeekajaktochten. Peddel in een kajak rond de middeleeuwse muren en bekijk het vanuit een hoek die veel bezoekers nooit ervaren. Kajak over het kanaal naar de wateren bij het eiland Lokrum. Zwem en snorkel in een afgelegen strandgrot op het vasteland. Als u het avondtijdvak selecteert, geniet dan ook van de zonsondergang en gekoelde wijn op het strand!
A night shot trying to capture Perseids, and got more than I'd bargained for. Heading northbound, we can see part of the Milky Way, along with a couple of satellites and several meteors. I wonder if any of the visitors that know more about the night sky could identify some of the different things happening in this picture!
-----
Una foto nocturna en la que buscaba perseidas y me salieron muchas más cosas... MIrando hacia el norte, podemos ver parte de la Vía Láctea, algunos satélites, meteoritos y alguna cosilla más. Quizá alguno de vosotros que tenga mayor conocimiento del cielo nocturno puede identificar algunas de las cosillas que aparecen en la foto.

When going for the first time to the volcano, I found myself with a wide fringe of land and pasture, accompanied by cliffs that go directly into the sea. The panorama may not be attractive at first sight, but there are many interesting places and loads of history that are worth knowing.
La cresta del Poike:
On the north side of the volcano there are three mounds created by the accumulation of lava that formed a very curious and showy landscape.
These three small mountains Ma'unga Parehe (broken mountain), Ma'unga Tea Tea (white hill) and Ma'unga Go to Heva (magic water hill), are an important source of Trachyte, a volcanic stone with which it built some moons (only some of which is found in Toba Tapilli, a volcanic rock much more moldable and which was used as the main material to build the giant rocks).
On top of these three mountains I also found some remains of Ahu (ceremonial platforms), from where some hubo moais.
I will climb it later.
I need to get into the sea first.
Beaches, food and beer, first!

Il s'agit de la 2ème randonnée dont j'ai eu le temps de trier les photos grâce à mon absence totale de connexion Internet pendant 2 semaines à Quiberon cet été. Et j'y ai pris un énorme plaisir. J'avais laissé de côté le tri des photos de cette rando car je savais que je risquerais de sélectionner beaucoup de candidates. Mais en même temps, il me tardait de ne pas laisser croupir ces photos.
France. Alpes. Massif du Dévoluy. Photo prise lors d'une rando en A/R au cours de laquelle nous sommes allés avec ma femme au Col de Charnier en passant par le Vallon de Charnier et en partant du hameau de Lachaup. Je me réjouissais de faire cette rando et je n'ai pas été déçu car elle figure parmi nos randos préférées de tous les temps ! ❤️
Cette photo a été prise au pied de l'arête EST du sommet de Roche Courbe, juste avant de rejoindre le Vallon de Charnier.
Le sommet qui trône au centre s'appelle Roche Courbe (2259m) et il fait partie des sommets que je trouve les plus beaux. Sur la droite, on voit la face EST de la Tête de Vallon Pierra (2512m). Quand on voit la face EST ou la face SUD de ce sommet, on a l'impression d'admirer une magnifique pyramide d'Egypte et au cours de cette randonnée, ce sont justement les 2 faces de ce sommet que nous avons eu la chance de contempler.
Ce Vallon de Charnier est un concentré du Dévoluy, dans tout ce qu'il a de plus beau ! ❤️
Sur la droite de la photo, je trouve que les nuages dessinent une espèce d'étoile filante. 😉

France. Bretagne. Morbihan (56). Presqu'île de Quiberon.
Cette photo a été prise sur la plage située entre le village de Portivy et le Fort de Penthièvre, au nord-ouest de la presqu'île.
Heure de la prise : 21h42 (Pleine Mer 18h17, Basser Mer 00h43).
Heure du coucher de soleil (21h57).
Pour ma 4ème photo de Quiberon, il y enfin un horizon mais de justesse ... 😂 Et sinon, j'ai encore choisi une ambiance lumineuse de fin de journée. Pour une photo "normale" en pleine journée, ce sera pour plus tard. 😉
Ce soir-là, comme tous les premiers soirs de notre séjour quiberonnais, il n'y avait aucun nuage à l'horizon au moment du coucher du soleil mais la lumière était très belle, surtout dans les minutes précédant le coucher, et d'autant plus en zoomant à proximité du soleil.
Tout au fond à l'horizon, à gauche du soleil, on aperçoit légèrement la silhouette de l'île de Groix, située au nord-ouest de la presqu'île de Quiberon.

Croatia is a beautiful country to discover many different landscapes. Korčula is a dense island with mostly dense forest, mainly holm oaks, pines and all kinds of scrub. The coast consists of bays, caves and clear water. A place for more lingering around and enjoying the slow pace of life.
Korčula is a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea and lies just off the Dalmatian coast. The island harboring a glorious old town is certainly worth a visit. The historical center is very picturesque. The island is also known as the birth island of the famous explorer Marco Polo; however, this has not been proven. At that time the island belonged to the city of Venice, where he might have been born. The fact is that many inhabitants on this island bear the surname Polo. Photo taken from the Cathedral of Saint Mark in the centre of Korčula with a view on the house of Marco Polo, the famous world traveler and writer was born. It’s recently bought by Korčula’s Town Authority which is currently planning to reconstruct and redone it into the Museum of Marco Polo. At the present the house is opened for visitors to have a look around. Climb narrow stairs and enter to the Loggia that has great views over Korcula Old town’s roofs.

Foto genomen vanaf de toren van de Kathedraal van San Marco in het centrum van Korčula met uitzicht op het geboortehuis van Marco Polo, de beroemde wereldreiziger en schrijver. Het is onlangs gekocht door het stadsbestuur van Korčula, dat momenteel van plan is om het Marco Polo museum opnieuw in te richten. Op dit moment is het huis opengesteld voor bezoekers om rond te kijken. Beklim smalle trappen en betreed de Loggia met een geweldig uitzicht over de daken van de oude stad Korčula.

France. Alpes. Savoie. Haute Tarentaise. Massif des Alpes Grées. Photo prise lors d'un aller-retour au Lac de la Bailletta, au départ du parking du Saut. Nous avons effectué cette rando en famille, merveilleusement guidés par notre ami de Haute Tarentaise.
Cette photo a été prise en remontant au Col de la Bailletta.
Sur la photo précédente, le lac était d'un vert intense car on était face à la pente herbeuse. Comme annoncé, sur cette photo, il est d'un bleu intense (en son centre), mâtiné de blanc, car cette fois on était sur la pente et en hauteur donc il reflétait le ciel.
Indépendamment du lac, les environs du Col de la Bailletta offrent un très beau panorama vers le sud avec entre autres :
o Le Signal de l'Iseran (3237m) à gauche, particulièrement à son avantage sous ce profil,
o La Pointe de Charbonnel (3752m) au fond au centre, qui est tout simplement le point culminant des Alpes Grées,
o Le Vallon de l'Iseran et la route (D902) qui monte au Col de l'Iseran (plus haut col routier des Alpes), le long de la Crête des Lessières.
Sur la gauche et au centre de la photo, les sommets appartiennent au Massif des Alpes Grées.
Sur la droite de la photo, les sommets appartiennent au Massif de la Vanoise.
Oggi mi sono fatta un grande regalo: ammirare una distesa immensa di girasoli!
è stato bello scattare tante foto: voglio che queste immagini rimangano sempre impresse nella mia mente come l'emozione che ho provato, succede tutte le volte che sto in mezzo alla Natura e la ringrazio per i suoi doni...

Vico Equense is a town overlooking the Bay of Naples in Southern Italy. If you're looking for a quiet corner on the coast far from the tourist crowds, this is the place! It's located on the Amalfi Coast, it can be reached easily from Naples and Pompeii as it is at the south-eastern end of the rail line. Vico Equense is the first town along the Sorrentine peninsula, and the perfect destination if you want to explore a coastal town in an area relatively undiscovered by most tourists. Stay in Vico Equense, where the pretty historic center is set on the clifftop overlooking the water, and there are beautiful beaches and excellent local restaurants, pizzerias, and gelato shops. Less than 10 minutes by train from Sorrento, Vico is conveniently located on the coast yet far from the crowds of international tourists in Sorrento.
Vico Equense is part of the greater Bay of Naples metropolitan area and is a relative quiet tourist destination. Located on a tuff cliff, it is relatively close to the ferry to the island of Capri, the volcano Vesuvius, the Monte Faito and the ancient town of Pompeii.
Vico Equense is een stad met uitzicht op de baai van Napels in Zuid-Italië. Als u op zoek bent naar een rustige hoek aan de kust ver van de toeristische drukte, dan is dit de plek! Het is gelegen aan de Amalfikust en is gemakkelijk te bereiken vanuit Napels en Pompeii, aangezien het zich aan de zuidoostkant van de spoorlijn bevindt. Vico Equense is de eerste stad langs het schiereiland Sorrentine en de perfecte bestemming als u een kustplaats wilt verkennen in een gebied dat relatief onontdekt is door de meeste toeristen. Verblijf in Vico Equense, waar het mooie historische centrum zich op de klif met uitzicht op het water bevindt, en er zijn prachtige stranden en uitstekende lokale restaurants, pizzeria's en gelato-winkels. Minder dan 10 minuten met de trein van Sorrento, Vico is gunstig gelegen aan de kust en toch ver van de drukte van internationale toeristen in Sorrento.

France. Vosges. Alsace. Haut-Rhin. Vallée de Munster. Photo prise lors d'une rando en boucle partielle effectuée avec ma femme au départ du Gaschney, en passant successivement par le Lac de Schiessrothried, le Col du Wormspel, le haut de la crête des Spitzkoepfe, une partie du Sentier des Névés, le Col du Wormspel à nouveau, le Hohneck et pour finir le Col de Schaeferthal.
Les paysages grandioses et les magiques couleurs d'automne au soleil ont fait de cette rando une de nos plus belles randos ! ❤️
Comme indiqué dans le titre, cette photo a été prise depuis le flanc droit de la crête des Spitzkoepfe, près du point le plus haut.
Sur ce cliché, on peut voir quelques beaux rochers de cette crête rocheuse et sauvage, prisée des alpinistes et amateurs de sensations fortes. D'ailleurs, à droite des rochers de gauche, on aperçoit légèrement le casque d'un alpiniste et le corps d'un autre.
En bas à droite, on peut voir la pente abrupte plonger vers la Combe d'Ammelthal et ses belles couleurs d'automne.
Quand j'étais sur cette forte pente, j'étais subjugué la sauvagerie du décor mais je n'étais pas à l'aise car je suis légèrement sujet au vertige et qu'il y avait du vent. J'étais particulièrement mal à l'aise quand je prenais des photos. 😉
Dans la pente, on peut voir quelques arbustes déjà complètement dénudés le 13 octobre. Il y en avait beaucoup plus sur le flanc gauche, du côté du Lac de Schiessrothried.

2.5 Seconds series - climate change awareness project
.
The world is getting warmer. Since the Industrial Revolution, the global average surface temperature has increased by more than 0.9 degrees Celsius and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by more than a third. Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the warmest years on record taking place since 2010. 2016 and 2019 were the warmest years on record.
Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. More than 197 international scientific organizations agree that global warming is real and has been caused by human action.
It is causing a set of changes and complex shifts to the Earth's which climate scientists call “climate change”. Volcanic eruptions and variations in solar radiation from sunspots have contributed only about two percent to the recent warming effect. The balance comes from greenhouse gases and other human-caused factors.
The rapid rise in greenhouse gases is a problem because it’s changing the climate faster than some living things can adapt to. Also, a new and more unpredictable climate poses unique challenges to all life. A one-degree global change is significant. In the past, a one- to two-degree drop was all it took to plunge the Earth into the Little Ice Age.
Already, global warming is having a measurable effect on the planet.

With this shot I'd like to celebrate two precious things: the Earth's Day 2020 and my family.
I have captured this moment during our 2014 summer vacations while descending from the Waldnersee, in Ahrntal (South Tyrol). It had just stopped raining, at least for the moment. The temperature was about a windy 3-4° C; the landscape was soaked wet, but always beautiful. My wife, Laura, decided that she wanted to improve the mood of the family and, typically, offered us some candies ;-)
The summer of 2014 was exceedingly rainy and cold and after that hike I got a half-bronchitis; nevertheless this photo stirs warm memories of a time when our sons were still almost out of their teen years and life was a bit nicer and simpler ;-)
Hope that you will enjoy it!
Dear friends, what are we doing in times when we are not allowed to travel? We can take photos around our home - sure. I guess we all do this - till we cannot see anything new any more, right? And then we remember the great times where we have been at the most wonderful places that are right now and possibly forever totally out of reach - full of desire. Such a place is Machu Picchu for me - a magic place and a place that I had the chance to visit exactly one year before.
We were fifteen people in our group last year - great folks and we are still in contact. And one of us had the idea to start with a kind of diary from our tour to South America in our WhatsApp group. So we start each day with a short summary of what we experienced that day and everybody contribute with photos, comments and memories - and so we are virtually travelling back to the past and redo our tour again...and are happy about all the little things that we thought we have forgotten and can now enjouy again...
That's also the reason why I am posting these photos now here on flickr and hope to take you with me a bit along that journey...
Take care and stay healthy, Werner
Liebe Freunde, was machen wir in Zeiten, in denen wir nicht reisen dürfen? Wir können Fotos rund um unser Zuhause machen - sicher. Ich denke, wir alle machen das - bis wir nichts Neues mehr finden können, oder? Und dann erinnern wir uns an die großartigen Zeiten, in denen wir an den schönsten Orten waren, die jetzt und möglicherweise für immer völlig unerreichbar sind - voller Sehnsucht. Ein solcher Ort ist für mich Machu Picchu - ein magischer Ort und ein Ort, den ich genau vor einem Jahr besuchen durfte.
Wir waren fünfzehn Leute in unserer Gruppe - großartige Menschen und wir sind immer noch in Kontakt. Und einer von uns hatte die Idee, mit einer Art Tagebuch von unserer Tour nach Südamerika in unserer WhatsApp-Gruppe zu beginnen. So beginnen wir jeden Tag mit einer kurzen Zusammenfassung dessen, was wir an diesem Tag erlebt haben, und alle tragen mit Fotos, Kommentaren und Erinnerungen dazu bei - und so reisen wir praktisch zurück in die Vergangenheit und wiederholen unsere Tour erneut ... und freuen uns über all die kleinen Dinge, von denen wir dachten, dass wir sie schon vergessen hätten und können sie jetzt wieder genießen...
Das ist auch der Grund, warum ich diese Fotos jetzt hier auf Flickr poste und hoffe, Euch auf dieser Reise ein wenig mitnehmen zu können ...
Passt auf euch auf und bleibt gesund, Werner
