Montpelier, Vermont - the smallest capital city in the USA with an estimated population of just over 7,000. Shot with the Olympus E-5.
I've taken a few pics of the US Capital but never this side. Here it is from our trip to DC back in April. A pano taken with the Nikon 20mm and stitched in Photoshop. May it never experience another day like it did on January 6th 2021 and all those involved with the attempted overthrow be held responsible.
a short fly to Dresden - the saxonian capital. Enjoy the view from the Frauenkirche and think about Canaletto. Why he love Dresden?

Esta es la capital de la isla francesa de Córcega. Aquí se puede apreciar La Ciudadela, que está situada en un sitio estratégico para proteger a la ciudad de Ajaccio de los posibles ataques marítimos. El fuerte fue construido en 1492, y luego hubo ampliaciones a partir de mediados del siglo XVI. Se destruyen numerosos edificios, entre ellos la iglesia Sainte-Croix, primera catedral de la ciudad. La ciudadela cuenta con un “castello”, un torreón y seis bastiones. No es posible visitarla, puesto que pertenece al ejército.
Very early morning hoot in the capital and a nice chance to capture an iconic landmark without the crowds.
I thought this was a different perspective of the capital building. I was waiting for the green light to cross to the other side of a busy street. This is looking down Pennsylvania Avenue.
La capital municipal está localizada en la Villa de la Orotava, situada a 360 msnm. El casco histórico de La Orotava fue declarado Conjunto Histórico Artístico Nacional en el año 1976. Para muchos La Orotava es una de las localidades más bonitas de la isla. Situada en el valle del mismo nombre, es una pequeña ciudad ubicada a media altura entre la espuma de las costas y los primeros arranques verticales del Teide. Ha sabido conservar casi intacta su esencia. Aquí la piedra se convirtió en palacios, iglesias fastuosas, grandes casas solariegas, plazas de entidad y jardines impresionantes, que nada tienen que envidiar a las grandes ciudades del archipiélago.
Took another shot of the Capital Wheel at sunset during the blue hour. I was trying to capture the vibrant colors of the sky, the lights of the Ferris wheel, and the reflection of the water all in one shot. Did some work in Lightroom to bring out the colors.
Quito, la capital de Ecuador, se ubica en la altura de las laderas de los Andes a 2,850 m. Fue construida sobre los cimientos de una antigua ciudad inca y es famosa por su centro colonial bien conservado, con varias iglesias de los siglos XVI y XVII, y otras estructuras que mezclan estilos europeos, moriscos e indígenas.

On my previous trips to Utah I passed over visiting Capital Reef National Park being more than a little bit out of the way and being restricted by vacation scheduling and limited by how much you can travel with a bunch of screaming whining kids in the back seat. This time being retired I decided not to pass it over this time and I was glad I did. This is one of the best views from the park from my visit that day.
There was a brief information session in the headquarters of the NCC about future plans for the National Capital region. The view was more interesting than the talk.
Fall colors and a small stream all added to the amazing scenery that surrounds Torrey Utah and Capital Reef.
Located near the double bends of the Kentucky River in the Blue Grass Region at Frankfort. Image taken near the grave of Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca on a bluff at the Frankfort Cemetery.
If I told you I was heading from my home in rural Wiltshire, into the Capital of England for some landscape photography, you might think I'd lost my marbles, unless of course you have heard of Richmond Park. At almost 2500 acres, it's three times the size of New York's Central Park, and is home to a large resident population of Red and Fallow Deer. With a promising forecast I headed for the City, hoping for a spot of mist and early morning sun. The conditions were perfect, and wandering through the woodland I couldn't help but fire off a few frames of the light rays penetrating the tree canopy.

I've been teaching Poppy photography, take a look at her Flickr.
“Perlan – the Pearl – is an immersive museum that showcases Iceland’s extraordinary landscapes and nature in an accessible and engaging way. Its impressive hands-on, interactive exhibits and shows explain the country’s landforms, geology and wildlife. State-of-the-art technology elevates Perlan from an ordinary museum to one that guests will find innovative and memorable.
Alongside a fascinating display that focuses on the characteristics of Iceland’s changing glaciers, visitors can step into a hundred-metre-long artificial ice cave. An estimated 350 tons of snow gathered from Icelandic mountains were used in its construction. In graphic contrast, the museum’s Forces of Nature exhibit addresses the country’s volcanic systems and geothermal activity.
Styrmir, the museum’s spectacular indoor geyser, shoots a jet of water 25 metres into the air through the central atrium.
In Perlan’s domed 150-seat planetarium, the spotlight turns to the Aurora Borealis. Utilising 8K projection and 7.1 surround sound, the breathtaking Áróra show takes guests on a spellbinding journey through the origins and legends associated with the Northern Lights, bringing it vividly – and reliably – to life.
Perlan’s striking architecture adds an extra dimension to a visit. Located on Öskjuhlíð, the tallest hill in Reykjavik, it’s an easily recognised landmark, comprising six water tanks that support a glass dome which floods the interior with light. The museum’s wraparound observation deck offers an uninterrupted 360° panorama of the Icelandic capital and its surroundings.
Perlan represents Iceland in a nutshell. As such, it makes an ideal first or last stop on every tourist’s itinerary, whether they plan to venture beyond Reykjavik or choose to remain in the capital.”
