And to celebrate Portugal victory nothing better than the iconic Tower of Belém on the bank of the Tagus River in Lisbon, Portugal.
Shot in Granada, these wonderful and architectonic rich arches are part of the Carmen de los Mártires Palace, just next to Alhambra.
La Torre is a castle near Buonconvento and dates back to the thirteenth century and once belonged to powerful families of Siena.
The castle was completely restored in the second half of the 800, taking on its current appearance: it is made up of two buildings that overlook a large courtyard surrounded on two sides by walls surrounded by a moat.
Now they are doing new restorations who knows, maybe it will turn into a luxury resort.
Alhambra is really an amazing place where one can appreciate ant once the beauty of at least three different civilisations and Era's. It's just like an cultural overload...
Santa Maria della Salute or Saint Mary of Health as an amazing story that can be easily associate with it the famous masks of the doctors of the black plague.
I posted two shots of this Eastern Phoebe this evening. I got this portrait shot when she flew in close, and also a shot of her on one of her favorite perches in her habitat.
Eastern Phoebes almost always nest on human built structures. In this case the nest is under a boardwalk that traverses a popular wetland area in St. Albert.
She has given many of us great photo ops.

Hamburger Speicherstadt is the world's largest historic warehouse complex, located in the Port of Hamburg. It covers the area between Baumwall and Oberhafen. Since 1991 she is a listed building. Since 5 July 2015, the Speicherstadt has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Speicherstadt was built between 1883 and 1927.
Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
Captured on the same morning as an earlier photo posted here, this is an HDR rendition of the scene. Lots of indirect, cloud filtered light is mixed with the rays of the low-lying sun.
Seen along the reknowned Kankamangus highway in New Hampshire, this barn is part of a 19th century homestead that most definitely did not enjoy good cellular coverage!
Eigentumswohnungen in der HafenCity. Leider sündhaft teuer. Hinter der rechten Häuserreihe verläuft die Elbe und man erhält eine fantastischen Blick auf den Hafen. Bei Hochwasser steht der Wasserpegel bis an die Kaimaueroberkante.
Condominiums in HafenCity. Unfortunately sinfully expensive. Behind the right row of houses runs the Elbe and you get a fantastic view of the harbor. At high water, the water level is up to the quay wall top.
D1935 'Roger Hosking MA 1925-2013' emits a trace of exhaust as it powers over the Ouse Valley Viaduct with 1Z84, the 1653 Eastbourne to Chesterfield 'Statesman' excursion.
Also know as Balcombe Viaduct and opened in 1841, this is the highlight of the route built by the London and Brighton Railway.
This ornate, brick-built structure comprises of over 11 million bricks, mostly imported from the Netherlands and shipped up the river Ouse from Newhaven and Lewes to the construction site. The stone balustrades and pavillions were imported from Caen in Northern France.
After a month of poor weather, this was a rare occasion to enjoy the August sunshine, capture a locomotive-hauled train on the famous viaduct and meet up with a few likeminded photographers.

Shot from St. Petri Church. The oldest church in the City. 200 steps narrow spiral staircase. I still have sore muscles :-)

iQuarter, originally known as the Hancock & Lant Tower, is a 52-metre apartment block in Sheffield, England, completed in 2008. It's named after the Hancock and Lant furniture company formerly occupying the site. The lobby of the building houses a Grade II listed brick built structure known as a crucible stack; dating from the late 19th century, it's an example of the once numerous small steel works in the area whose output complemented that of the large scale bulk producers.
El Pati dels Tarongers és un dels espais més coneguts i bonics del Palau de la Generalitat. De fet, es troba a la planta principal del Palau.
Per el Sant Jordi de 2022, el primer normal des del Covid19, varem anar a visitar el Palau de la Generalitat.

======================
This is the Pati dels Tarongers (Orange garden), an irregularly shaped main floor terrace, ornated with several orange trees, as was usual in late-medieval palaces.
In Sant Jordi day (the patron saint of Catalonia) we went to visit the see of the Government of Catalonia, el Palau de la Generalitat, in Barcelona. It's an impressive mostly medieval building. As was typical of the times, it's not a purpose-built structure but a collection of re-used gothic palaces, that grew with the history of Catalonia.

OK, so maybe I'm not standing on it, but this bench does see lots of action. Located out on a jetty that juts into the Atlantic, this bench takes the brunt of hurricane force winds bearing down on the coast. It looks sturdy and I guess it is!
Crossing the Susquehanna in New York's Southern Tier, this "new" bridge stands out under cloudy skies.
