LIMNI - ΛΙΜΝΗ
Limni, on the island of Evia, is a small port, beach and tourist resort, which is beautiful the whole year round. It is located 80 km NW of Chalkida and about 150 km from Athens.
The island of Evia lies along the Eastern coast of Central Greece, and is accessible to the mainland via two bridges, an old wooden bridge and a contemporary suspension bridge. There are also frequent ferries to several parts of the island. It is 175 km long and is the second largest island in Greece, and the third largest in the Eastern Mediterranean.

* GALAXY HALL OF FAME
The floating mosque, as it is commonly known as, derives its name from the fact that it is the first mosque to be built directly in the ocean water. Otherwise, it is known as Masjid Terapun Pulau Pinang. The mosque was constructed back in the year 2005. It is a major landmark in the area. Despite its name, the mosque is not actually floating, but rather standing on pilings and stilts. Nevertheless it is the first mosque to be built in the sea in Malaysia
Gibraltar Airport is peculiar in that a road spans across the runway. However this road is not Gibraltar's Main Street described in various internet publications. This road supplies traffic to and from the Airport area and the land frontier to Spain. All vehicular traffic and pedestrains crossing is stopped and the road closed by barriers well in advance before any landing or takeoff. There is no possibility of an aircraft encountering traffic on the runway during normal operations. Plans to create a tunnel to replace this road have been on the shelf for over 10 years now.
直布羅陀機場 由於其跑道長度只有1,829米（6,000呎），因此大型廣體客機一般上也不能安全升降，故航空公司只能用小型窄體飛機服務直布羅陀的航班（最大也只是波音737或空中巴士A320系列）, 有一條行車道路橫跨跑道，全球罕見。
Chefchaouen - Blue City
Colour dye is available alomost everywhere in this city.
As people who love color, we're always looking out for rooms that employ vibrant decor. But entire cities that embrace our love of saturated hues? Now you've got us excited.
Chefchaouen is a town in northwest Morocco that is best known for its bright cerulean architecture. Rows of buildings in the tourist hub are completely covered in blue paint.
After peak bloom, the cherry blossom petals will fall off the tree. From late spring to early fall the leaves on the tree are green. Today, I saw the petals starting falling off.
This is a traditional Mud Brick city on the edge of the High Atlas Mountains. It is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and has featured in many films, mostly as a replacement for Jerusalem.
It has appeared in more than 10 movies, including Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator. Aït Benhaddou (Berber languages: ⴰⵢⵜ ⴱⴻⵏⵃⴰⴷⴷⵓ; Arabic: آيت بن حدّو) is an ighrem (fortified village in English) along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco. Most citizens attracted by the tourist trade live in more modern dwellings in a village on the other side of the river, although there are four families still living in the ancient village. Inside the walls of the ksar are half a dozen kasbahs, or merchants' houses. Ksar Aït Benhaddou is a great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
The Lions Head Lighthouse was established in 1903, and was rebuilt several times due to the extreme weather conditions of Georgian Bay. Automation was done 1969 and the lighthouse was finally replaced with a metal post and light. In 1983, high school students built a replica model of the lighthouse from the blueprints of its original building. The replica lighthouse still stands in its place today, and is a popular destination for visitors and displays a flashing red light.
Again it was from archive. The image was created with 4-5 HDR photos using photoshop to merge. It was a very windy night. I bought a new tripod and wanted to test it out. I need to hang my backpack to the center column to stabilize a bit. Last word, Hong Kong night scenery is so much beautiful.
It was October when I traveled to Balkans last year. Luckily, I saw the sort of fall foliage at Plitvice Lakes National Park than in Canada where mostly the maples. Hope you like this image.
Another vista seen from a moving vehicle. A simple plain green colour under a cloudy sky. Peaceful place of land, water, mountain and clouds with no disturbing in any forms was hardly found in these day.
It is a major Gothic Revival architecture building and one of the landmarks of the city of Strasbourg, in Alsace, France. Its two spires are 76 meters (250 feet) high, towering above the fork between the Ill and Aar rivers.
MOROCCO DESERT:
A visit to the Moroccan Sahara desert is definitely an experience everyone should have at least once in their lifetime. It is a journey well worth the effort and you will have fond memories to last you forever.
Imagine yourself on a camel ride, trekking through the rolling orange Sahara desert of Erg Chebbi Dunes. There is nothing around you and all you can hear are the footsteps of the camel on the soft sand. The sky is vast and clear in the day and filled with millions of bright stars at night. It is a very peaceful experience, one raley known to most of the Western World.
The Tidal Basin is a partially man-made reservoir between the Potomac River and the Washington Channel in Washington, D.C. It is part of West Potomac Park and is a focal point of the National Cherry Blossom Festival held each spring. The Jefferson Memorial, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, and the George Mason Memorial are situated adjacent to the Tidal Basin. The basin covers an area of about 107 acres (43 ha) and is 10 feet (3.0 m) deep.
