Sorrento is a town overlooking the Bay of Naples in Southern Italy. A popular tourist destination due to its variety of small antique shops and location 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. The town is most known for its small shops selling ceramics, lacework and woodwork. The Sorrentine Peninsula has views of Naples, Vesuvius and the Isle of Capri. The Amalfi Drive, connecting Sorrento and Amalfi, is a narrow road that threads along the high cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Ferries and hydrofoils connect the town to Naples, Amalfi, Positano, Capri and Ischia. Sorrento's sea cliffs and luxury hotels have attracted celebrities including Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti. De St Francis Church in the heart of Sorrento is baroque and topped by a bulbous torenspits, it is bordered by a stunning cloister from the 13th century with capitals decorated with floral motifs supporting the interlaced arcades in the Sicilian-Arabic style. The courtyard is beautiful. The cloister is from the pagan era to the Middle Ages, and is a delightfully peaceful place to visit. Musical evenings, concerts and exhibitions are also sometimes held there.
St Francis Church in the heart of Sorrento is bordered by a little park. Next to the park we found this large mural. It is the work of a banksy-style artist going by the name of TvBoy. This mural which shows Lucio Dalla, Sophia Loren and Enrico Caruso. Enrico Carusa is probably the best tenor ever and who spent his last days in the hotel excelsior a few hundred metres away. Sophia Loren is a famous and beautiful Italian actress and probably the last diva of that glittering world that is the cinema of the 50s and 60s. On the mural she wearing a modern jeans. Lucio Dalla was an Italian singer-songwriter, musician and actor. He also played clarinet and keyboards. Dalla was the composer of "Caruso" , a song dedicated to Italian opera tenor Enrico Caruso. In Sorrento there is not much street art. Well worth a visit especially if you like street art / graffiti. Photo of Kanitha between Sophia Loren and Enrico Caruso.
Sorrento is een stad met uitzicht op de baai van Napels in Zuid-Italië. Een populaire toeristische bestemming vanwege de verscheidenheid aan kleine antiekwinkels en de locatie aan de Amalfikust, het is gemakkelijk te bereiken vanuit Napels en Pompeii, net als aan het zuidoostelijke uiteinde van de spoorlijn. De stad staat vooral bekend om zijn kleine winkeltjes met keramiek, kantwerk en houtwerk. Het schiereiland Sorrentine biedt uitzicht op Napels, de Vesuvius en het eiland Capri. De Amalfi Drive, die Sorrento en Amalfi met elkaar verbindt, is een smalle weg die langs de hoge kliffen boven de Tyrrheense Zee loopt. Veerboten en draagvleugelboten verbinden de stad met Napels, Amalfi, Positano, Capri en Ischia. De zeekliffen en luxe hotels van Sorrento hebben beroemdheden aangetrokken, waaronder Enrico Caruso en Luciano Pavarotti. De Sint Franciscuskerk ligt in het hart van Sorrento. Na het bezoek in een klein park naast de St. Franciscuskerk vonden we deze grote muurschildering. Het is het werk van een kunstenaar in banksy-stijl met de naam TvBoy. Deze muurschildering toont Lucio Dalla, Sophia Loren en Enrico Caruso. Enrico Carusa is waarschijnlijk de beste tenor ooit en bracht zijn laatste dagen door in het hotel excelsior een paar honderd meter verderop. Sophia Loren is een beroemde en mooie Italiaanse actrice en waarschijnlijk de laatste diva van die schitterende wereld die de bioscoop van de jaren 50 en 60 is. Op de muurschildering draagt ze een moderne spijkerbroek. Lucio Dalla was een Italiaanse singer-songwriter, muzikant en acteur. Hij speelde ook klarinet en keyboards. Dalla was de componist van "Caruso", een lied opgedragen aan de Italiaanse operator Enrico Caruso. In Sorrento is niet veel straatkunst. Zeker een bezoek waard, vooral als je van straatkunst / graffiti houdt. Foto van Kanitha tussen Sophia Loren en Enrico Caruso.

Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several days later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs jours après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
France. Alpes. Savoie. Haute Tarentaise. Massif des Alpes Grées. Photo prise lors d'un aller-retour en solo au Col de la Traversette via le Roc Noir, au départ du quartier Les Eucherts (à l'EST de la Station de la Rosière). Cette randonnée offre une très belle vue au sud sur le Mont Pourri et au nord sur le Mont Blanc.
Cette photo a été prise vers le Sud, depuis le quartier des Eucherts, à l'EST de la Station de ski de La Rosière (Montvalezan). Cette station est appréciée par ceux qui cherchent à éviter les grandes foules car elle est de petite taille à côté des stations gigantesques qu'on trouve en Tarentaise comme Val d'Isère, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Les Ménuires, Val Thorens, etc, qui font office d'usines à côté de la Rosière !...
En plus d'être de taille raisonnable, la Station de le Rosière jouit de cette belle vue vers le sud, avec :
o Ce beau et majestueux chaînon constitué de l'Aiguille Rouge et du Mont Pourri,
o Ce beau virage de la Tarentaise qui s'enroule autour de la masse imposante de l'Aiguille Rouge pour la contourner et terminer son "chemin" vers le Sud jusqu'à Val d'Isère.
Sur les pentes à gauche de la vallée sur la photo, on peut voir le village de Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise, ainsi que sa petite Station située près du hameau de Bonconseil. C'est dans cette station que nous avons logé pendant 3 belles semaines cet été 2019. Et sur le balcon de notre logement, nous avions une superbe vue sur les faces EST de l'Aiguille Rouge et du Mont Pourri ! ❤️👍😊

Happy May Day! My first Osprey of the season.
Osprey feed primarily on live fish, which they catch from the water by using their long, hooked talons. An osprey can plunge so forcefully into the water that if will completely submerge! They are a perfect fishing machine with a success rate of around 70%.

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.

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

Yik Cheong Building and Montane Mansion are most famous spots in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong. It also known as "Monster Building".
Happy Easter Monday to all our followers, commenters, admirers, and survivors! We will continue to post images on Bank Holidays while the Covid-19 crisis continues. For today, we have a remarkable image of Main Street in Kingscourt, Co. Cavan with the hill rising away from us, and a crowd of men(?) gathered about half way down! What was the occasion?
+++ UPDATE +++
Much happy speculation as to the occasion, but nothing definite that we could hang our Sunday Best hats on. However, we did narrow the date. Our Lawrence photo collection dates between 1865 and 1914. As you’ve all managed from dating various buildings to narrow the date to 1909-1922, for our purposes, that means this photograph was taken between 1909 and 1914. Thank you, one and all!
Photographer: Robert French
Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection
Date: Circa 1909-1914, but likely 1901 -1902

Orion's Belt or the Belt of Orion, also known as the Three Kings or Three Sisters, is an asterism in the constellation Orion. It consists of the three bright stars Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka.
Looking for Orion's Belt in the night sky is the easiest way to locate Orion in the sky. The stars are more or less evenly spaced in a straight line, and so can be visualized as the belt of the hunter's clothing. They are best visible in the early night sky during the Northern Winter/Southern Summer, in particular the month of January at around 9:00 pm.
Alnitak (ζ Orionis) is a triple star system at the eastern end of Orion's belt and is 1,260 light-years from the Earth. Alnitak B is a 4th-magnitude B-type star which orbits Alnitak A every 1,500 years. The primary (Alnitak A) is itself a close binary, comprising Alnitak Aa (a blue supergiant of spectral type O9.7 Ibe and an apparent magnitude of 2.0) and Alnitak Ab (a blue dwarf of spectral type O9V and an apparent magnitude of about 4). Alnitak Aa is estimated as being up to 28 times as massive as the Sun, and to have a diameter 20 times greater. It is the brightest star of class O in the night sky.
Alnilam (ε Orionis) is a supergiant, approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth and magnitude 1.70. It is the 29th-brightest star in the sky and the fourth-brightest in Orion. It is 375,000 times more luminous than the Sun. Its spectrum serves as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified.
Mintaka (δ Orionis) is 1,200 light-years away and shines with magnitude 2.21. Mintaka is 90,000 times more luminous than the Sun. Mintaka is a double star. The two stars orbit around each other every 5.73 days.
