Ashford in the Water is a very pretty, chocolate box village in the heart of the White Peak, visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. It is home to the most photographed bridge in Britain, which has the gloriously crystal clear waters of the River Wye flowing free underneath. It’s a tiny place and is made up of ancient picturesque cottages, two pubs, a stunning hotel with a riverside setting, a beautiful church, which houses relics dating back to the 1200s and a village store and delicatessen, who boasts they have the best home-made pickles in Derbyshire. Home to the lucky few, the cottages were once owned by the Chatsworth estate. These were sold off in the 1950s to pay for death duties.

With the famous Sheep Wash Bridge adorning many a postcard and photograph, tourists flock to hear how sheep were washed in the water before chemical dips were introduced. Lambs were kept in the walled pen on the other side, which is still in good working order and used in demonstrations today, to entice their mothers to have their bath and swim to the other side. The bridge makes a great vantage point for watching the huge rainbow trout meandering leisurely on their way below your feet.

Portopalo di Capo Passero - Sicily

Later in the afternoon the suns angle gave an amazing oceanside underwater view of this beautiful paradise in Sardinia.

Hiking in Switzerland ; Grindelwald , First , above Bachsee . No. 8968.

"It's impossible to imagine the Swiss mountain world as more idyllic than the area surrounding Lake Bachalpsee. The snow-covered peaks of the Alps are reflected in the crystal clear blue water.

First is the starting point for hikes and it offers action: An adrenaline rush and speed thrills are guaranteed on the First Flyer, trottibike scooters or bikes. Children can have fun on the 700-m² playground at the Bort intermediate station."

Trois étapes vous seront nécessaires pour débarquer en toute tranquillité dans cet écrin de nature montagnarde paradisiaque. A 2200 mètres d'altitude, le First offre des panoramas étourdissants, notamment une vue imprenable sur sept 4000 des Alpes bernoises.

En une petite heure de marche à travers pâturages et chemins pédestres bucoliques, vous atteignez le superbe lac Bachalpsee et ses eaux cristallines. De tous les côtés, des points de vue pittoresques. Inoubliable ascension. Pour un peu de culture, passez donc la nuit au Berghotel Faulhorn, le plus ancien hôtel de montagne de Suisse!

Der First ist eine Verflachung des Südwest-Rückens zum Widderfeldgrätli (2'632 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland nördlich oberhalb von Grindelwald. Er ist über eine Gondelbahn oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die obere Bergstation heisst ebenfalls First (2'167 m ü. M.) und steht den Besuchern im Winter und im Sommer mit einem gut ausgebauten Ski- und Wandergebiet zur Verfügung.

Besonders beliebt ist die Wanderung zum Bachalpsee und weiter zum Faulhorn, die ein spektakuläres Panorama mit Blick auf den oberen Grindelwaldgletscher sowie Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bietet. Eine weitere interessante Wanderung führt auf das Schwarzhorn. Östlich von First liegt 5,6 Kilometer zu Fuss entfernt die Grosse Scheidegg.

Der First ist ein Startort für Paraglider und Deltasegler sowie Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Mountainbiketouren. Station First bietet auch einen imposanten kurvenreichen Schlittenweg, welcher bei guten Schneeverhältnissen direkt nach Grindelwald führt.

Véritable oasis naturelle, cette longue plage délimitée au nord par la Torre della Pelosa (17e s.) est la plus célèbre des plages de Stintino et aussi la plus fréquentée.

Accès plage de sable (non visible sur l'image) sur réservation. -------------------—----------------------------------------------

"Stintino La Pelosa, between ancient tower and crystal clear waters"

A true natural oasis, this long beach, bordered to the north by the 17th-century Torre della Pelosa, is the most famous and most popular of Stintino's beaches. The view of Isola Piana and Isola dell'Asinara, the scent of the maquis, and the quality of the seabed make it an exceptional place. Access to the sandy beach (not visible in the image) is by reservation only.

#32 REFLECTION

Vintage! A Reflection on my Teaching Days of Years Gone By!

-------------------------

A shot I made in the Swiss Alps this autumn. It was a perfect evening at sunset as there was practical no wind and the reflections of the mountain lake was quite amazing. I used a polarizer to soften a bit the light and to extend the shutter speed a bit. Thank you very much for watching.

The best of what winter can offer. When temperature falling below -5 degree, the air becomes crystal clear and fresh, the sun coloring the sky and silence in nature just gives peace to soul and mind.

The Fairy Pools is a series of picturesque waterfalls and crystal-clear pools in the heart of scenic Glen Brittle, in the western foothills of the Black Cuillins. The Pools offer stunning views of the Cuillin Hills.
