For all Cinque Terre shots, I have to thank to my little sunrays and awesome one.

One for letting me shooting in peace and taking care my dog, and one for guiding me with long exposure and the trip along the way. The way they took good care of me.

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.

In Explore 2 octobre 2016 "#331"

This year has not been one of the better years in my life and I have really struggled just to continue with what needs to be done,

 

I have had a hard time breaking loose to focus on photography or even art. Every so often I force myself to not think of life and just take photos. This is another shot of Mono Lake from my recent road trip. I hope you all enjoy these little glimpses into my life.

 

On a side note I have been looking at the Flickr Explore lists every day, and looking back at what I am doing wrong with my art, and at first was bummed when my work was not measuring up, but now I have made my peace, and I have come to the conclusion that my work is not algorithm friendly and not worthy of "Explore" status.

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.

  

Je n'avais pas mon trépied, mais un pilier plat sur le petit pont où je me trouvais m'a permis d'essayer mon nouveau filtre ND. J'ai été content du résultat.

 

A noter : un nant est un terme que l'on rencontre en Savoie, cela désigne un ruisseau ou un torrent.

The race of the "nant"

 

I did not took my tripod, but a flat pillar on the bridge where I stood allowed me to try my new ND filter. The result pleased me.

 

To note: a "nant" is a term that we find in Savoy, it means a beck or a torrent.

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).

House on the Ocean on road 132 on my way to the beautiful Gaspésie.

Canon 6D - waking up in Gaspesie near the marina this winter.

La Saône était bien haute en ce jour de mars à Mâcon, et le bas de l'esplananade Lamartine était sous l'eau, c'était un spectacle insolite.

Mais il faisait doux avec un beau soleil après plusieurs jours de pluie. Bref, c'était le temps idéal pour faire un petit tour et admirer la Saône.

High waters in Macon

 

The Saone River was very high in this day of March in Macon, and the bottom of the Lamartine esplananade was under water, it was an unusual sight.

But the weather was mild with a lovely sun after several days of rain. So, it was the perfect time for a walk and admire the Saone river.

On est ici à la deuxième cabane Vauban du chemin, il y en a 3 en tout. Datant du 17ème siècle, ces cabanes furent construites sur l'ordre de Vauban (1633 - 1707), architecte militaire de Louis XIV afin de surveiller la mer du haut des falaises de la baie du Mont-Saint-Michel.

Champeaux Vauban's hut

  

We are here at the second Vauban's hut of the trail. They are 3 Vauban's huts at all. Dating from 17th century, these huts were built on the order of Vauban (1603 - 1703), military architect of King Louis XIVth, in order to survey the sea from the cliffs of Mont Saint-Michel's bay.

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.

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.

La montée à la Roche de Vergisson offre des points de vue magnifiques sur la Roche de Solutré et le petit village de Vergisson en contrebas.

 

Ici, un écrin de lumière illuminait et mettait en relief ce beau paysage d'automne.
