A cidade de Malmo, devastada por um passado industrial, é hoje conhecida por a sua universidade e os seus prédios verdes. Malmo foi uma das primeiras e mais industrializadas cidades da Escandinávia, mas teve de fazer um enorme esforça para se adaptar ao pós-industrialismo. Desde a construção da ponte de Oresund, Malmo sofreu uma grande transformação com a evolução arquitetónica, atraindo nova biotecnologia e empresas de topo e particularmente, alunos de todo o mundo para a Universidade de Malmo, fundada em 1998. A cidade tem muitos edifícios históricos e belíssimos parques naturais que fazem dela uma cidade verde e bastante atrativa para se viver.
Como é belo o entardecer na cidade de Malmo, um entardecer que na maioria das vezes nos passa completamente ao lado, tal é a nossa ânsia de viver, um momento que deveria ser vivido com a mesma intensidade com que se vivem as grandes ocasiões da nossa vida. O pôr-do-sol é normalmente mais brilhante do que o nascer do sol, pois a matiz do vermelho e laranja são mais intensas e vibrantes. A atmosfera responde de diversas formas à exposição da luz solar, em particular, no final do dia, pois a atmosfera tende a reter uma quantidade maior de partículas em suspensão do que no início do dia. Durante o dia, o sol aquece a superfície terrestre, diminuindo assim a humidade do ar e aumentando a velocidade e a turbulência dos ventos, o que acaba por levantar a poeira para o ar. Contudo, as diferenças entre o nascer do sol e o pôr-do-sol, em alguns casos, também dependem das peculiaridades geográficas do local de onde o evento está a ser observado.
Aqui em Malmo, o entardecer de repente tornou-se diferente, mais belo e chamativo que o habitual, mais mágico e encantador, mais atrativo luminoso e delicado, talvez por ter sido o pôr-do-sol mais a norte da Europa que tenhamos presenciado. Diz a ciência que a luz do Sol sofre um desvio gerado pela atmosfera, por isso, o sol ainda pode ser visto depois de já estar atrás do horizonte físico. Este efeito também se manifesta durante o nascer do sol. Outra curiosidade gerada pela distorção da luz solar pela atmosfera é que o sol também aparenta ser maior no horizonte, uma ilusão de ótica similar a que ocorre com a Lua.

Summer vacation in Gaspésie
Sainte-Thérèse-de-Gaspé is a municipality in the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region of the province of Quebec in Canada. It is the smallest municipality, in land area and population, of the Le Rocher-Percé Regional County Municipality.
Fishing is its primary business, and its harbour handles the fourth highest value of seafood in Quebec. Its factories, employing hundreds of people, process snow crab, rock crab, and lobster. In addition to the village of Sainte-Thérèse-de-Gaspé itself, the municipality also includes the community of Saint-Isidore.

Ross Abbey, Headford, County Galway, Ireland
The Ross Errilly Friary is a medieval Franciscan friary located about a mile to the northwest of Headford, County Galway, Ireland. It is a National Monument of Ireland and among the best-preserved medieval monastic sites in the country. Though usually referred to by locals as "Ross Abbey," this is not technically correct as the community never had an abbot.
Like many other abandoned Christian sites in Ireland, Ross Errilly has continued to be used as a burial ground by area residents. In addition to tombs that date from the friary's active period, many graves dating from the 18th through 20th centuries can be found inside the church walls. In some cases, tombstones comprise the floors of walkways and crawlspaces.

The Sea Arch Stack, Crohy Head, County Donegal, Ireland
I didn't even realise that this wonderful natural formation even existed until recently. I was in the western coast of Ireland when I found out and located this barely known arch stack!
It is located on a small peninsula called Crohy Head. Very difficult to climb down too and you even have to use a rope that is attached to some rocks on the cliff face! Amazing location with this very unique sea arch

Stuttgart is the only city in Germany where wine is grown within the urban area, mainly in the districts of Rotenberg, Uhlbach and Untertürkheim.
Stuttgart is still one of Germany's largest wine-growing cities with more than 400 hectares of vine area, thanks in main to its location at the centre of Germany's fourth largest wine region, the Württemberg wine growing area which covers 11,522 hectares (28,470 acres) and is one of only 13 official areas captured under German Wine law. The continuing importance of wine to the local economy is marked every year at the annual wine festival ('Weindorf'). (Wikipedia)

A Cidade do Rio de Janeiro é conhecia internacionalmente por suas belas praias urbanas, mas o que muitos não sabem e isto incluindo muitos cariocas, é que existem 05 Praias praticamente selvagens dentro da cidade e que só podem ser alcançadas pelo mar ou por uma trilha relativamente longa onde chegamos relativamente facil as Praias do Perigoso e das Conchas, para chegar nas outras praias ha necessidade de ir por uma outra trilhas e estas são um pouco mais puxadas.
Lá temos tambem uma grande rocha chamada de Pedra da Tartaruga, pela semelhança que ela tem a uma tartaruga vista de determinados angulos, Para quem gosta de esporte radical como o Rapel a Pedra da Tartaruga é considerada a opção mais bonita da cidade e acho que pelas fotos o motivo se justifica.
A Foto principal e a primeira da sequencia foram tiradas neste ultimo domingo, enquanto todas as praias da cidade estavam lotadas, a Praia do Perigoso tambem podemos ver que estava lotada para o padrão dela

Mt. Baker: 9,355 feet or 2,851 meters in elevation. The two black buttes to the right of the dome erupted leaving craters. The last eruption was about 700,000 years ago. In 1975 there was an event that led to melting glaciers and snow, but did not result in magma reaching the surface. That magma has been slowly cooling since then.

Panorama of Denver, Colorado with the Pepsi Center to the right
The City and County of Denver (Arapaho: Niinéniiniicíihéhe') is the largest city and the capital of the U.S. state of Colorado. Denver is also the second most populous county in Colorado after El Paso County. Denver is a consolidated city and county located in the South Platte River Valley on the western edge of the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 12 miles (19 km) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed the Mile-High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile or 5,280 feet (1,609.3 m) above sea level, making it one of the highest major cities in the United States.The 105th meridian west of Greenwich passes through Union Station and is the temporal reference for the Mountain Time Zone. With a 2012 estimated population of 634,265, Denver ranks as the 23rd most populous U.S. city.
Pepsi Center (aka The Can) is a multi-purpose arena in Denver, Colorado, United States. The building is home to the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association, the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League, and the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League. When not in use by one of Denver's sports teams, the building frequently serves as a concert venue.

Sognefjord, Norway
Getty Images Collection
Norway's longest and deepest fjord, the Sognefjord is a geologic and panoramic marvel. The terrain soars upward from the watery depths of the North Atlantic, and many waterfalls punctuatue its edges with spray. The area is accessible only between May 18 and September 15.
The average width of the main branch of the Sognefjorden is about 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi). Cliffs surrounding the fjord rise almost sheer from the water to heights of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and more.
A fjord is formed when a glacier cuts a U-shaped valley on the surrounding bedrock. Most fjords are deeper than the adjacent sea; Sognefjord, Norway, reaches as much as 1,300 m (4,265 ft) below sea level.
♫ I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies so blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world ♫

Big panorama from Freshwater Bay yesterday on the day the big swell known as Hercules arrived on the south coast and lots of people came out to enjoy the sights and take photos.

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.
The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.
Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.
Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matterhorn
The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

On our walk through the Roxborough State Park, Colorado, United States.
The state park is known for dramatic red sandstone formations. Located in Douglas County 25 miles (40 km) south of Denver, Colorado, the 3,339-acre (13.51 km2) park was established in 1975. In 1980 it was recognized as a National Natural Landmark because of the number of ecological systems and geological formations. It is also a State Historic Site and National Cultural District because of the number of archaeological sites.
Roxborough State Park is a designated Colorado Natural Area and National Natural Landmark for its 300 million year old red sandstone Fountain Formation that tilt at a 60 degree angle. The park includes great examples of exposed Precambrian to Late Mesozoic hogback, monolithic and spire formations from the Permian, Pennsylvanian and Cretaceous age. Carpenter Peak's exposed granite is from Precambrian era.
The park consists of forests of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, prairie land, and woodlands that support many forms of wildlife. There are 145 bird, over 50 butterfly and moth, and 11 amphibian and reptile species. Mammals commonly found in the park include black bear, coyote, deer, elk, fox, mountain lion, prairie dog, and rabbit. Sources of water include Little Willow Creek, Willow Creek and Mill Gulch. Elevations range from 5,900 to 7,280 feet (1,800 to 2,220 m).
There are six hiking trails in Roxborough State Park, a network of easy to moderate trails that also connect to Douglas County trail system, Pike National Forest and Waterton Canyon trails. (Wikipedia)

A Cidade do Rio de Janeiro é conhecida mundialmente pelas belezas de suas Praias Urbanas, mas o que muitos não sabem, inclusive muitos cariocas, é que dentro da cidade do Rio de Janeiro existem 05 praias praticamente Selvagens que só é possivel chegar atraves de Barco ou por trilha.
Já estou para ir neste lugar a mais de dois meses, mas por um motivo ou por outro sempre cancelava a ida, mas finalmente no feriado da ultima sexta tive a oportunidade de conhecer esse que para mim é um dos lugares mais fantásticos da nossa cidade.
A Trilha apesar de ser cansativa, é relativamente facil de seguir exceto por alguns trechos de subida que exigem um pouco mais de esforço para os que não estão acostumados a fazer trlha, mas todo esforço e cansaço são esquecidos quando chegamos a este paraiso escondido dentro da nossa cidade.
No local temos a Pedra da Tartaruga, uma enorme pedra que lembra a cabeça de um tartaruga e que irei postar uma foto brevemente, muito procurada para a pratica rapel, sendo considerado o local mais bonito para esse esporte na cidade.
Das 05 praias estive apenas em tres, pois o sol estava muito quente e não me animei de conhecer todas, Temos:
A Praia do Meio a maior das 05 praias com 350 metros de extensão e que aparece na foto é a preferida por surfistas, a Praia de Pedra conhecida como praia de Buzios e a Praia do Perigoso, que tem esse nome devido ser a rota de fuga de presos perigosos que escapavam do extinto presidio da Ilha Grande, alem destas existe a praia do inferno que é visivel do alto da Pedra da tartaruga e a Praia Funda que tem um trilha mais complicada de chegar.
* A primeira foto da sequencia, foi tirada do Alto da Pedra da Tartaruga, ao meu lado no primeiro plano esta a Praia do Perigoso, depois a Praia do Meio que aparece na Foto Principal de outro angulo e ao fundo a Praia do Inferno.
* A Segunda foto mostra a Praia de Buzios que fica do Lado Oposto a Praia do Perigoso.
