Landmannalaugar long trail, a place rich of colored hills and active fumarole, where you can alternate snowy landscapes with hotsprings. Kinda paradise. This is Iceland!
The Amercentrale is a coal-fired power plant of Essent in the municipality Geertruidenberg. The plant is named after the Amer River and is located on the left bank of this river. In 1952 Unit 1 of the first Amercentrale began generating electricity. The much smaller Dongecentrale is located
The power plant consists of 2 units together generating 1245 MW of power and 600 MW of heat generated for heating homes and greenhouses. The plant provides a large part of southern Netherlands of electricity and also supplies heat to the horticultural areas. There are currently four units, peak load units 6-7, unit 8 (in operation since 1980) and unit 9 (in operation since 1993). Only the latter two are currently in use. Currently plans are being developed to build a new coal and biomass-fired unit of about 800 MW.
This photo will be the last one for a week. I shall have a little operation in my shoulder so i can´t use my PC and my camera for the next week. But my dear flickr friends, don´t let that be a excuse to relax, I still can follow you on my iPad :-))
I will return. Have a great day all of you
As the waves hit these blocks of ice, you can hear the crackling sound of them breaking. This is how their journey ends, from europe's largest glacier Vatnajökull into the Atlantic ocean.
This was taken an evening before my last photo. It was high tide and waves were reaching up to the point where there were most amount of ice blocks. It was very difficult to create composition without cluttering the scene too much. This block looked very interesting, kind of a like a skull. So i made it a focal point of my shot and Incoming waves did rest of the work.
I would have clicked more photos after this, but as i was setting up for next shot a surprise big wave came. I tried to move back but tripped over one ice block. I had icy cold water and sand in my boots and pants. It was time to head back to hotel and have some hot chocolate :).
Taken at Wolmido, Incheon

Castle Heeswijk is water citadel former at Heeswijk from the 11th century. The castle had been restored in 2005. Already in the year 1080 there a preamble of the current castle, so-called motte-burcht arose. In the course of the middle ages the motte (castle hillock) were blunted and on the place of the citadel a castle were built. Castle Heeswijk several times have played a role in the history. It did not succeed prince Maurits around 1600 up to two times to take the castle. It's halfbrother Frederik Hendrik succeeded in this in 1629, however, in, so that he could besiege then s' Hertogenbosch. In 1672 the sun king Lodewijk XIV the uninvited guest on castle Heeswijk were during its fight against the republic. On the end of the 18th century Pichegru, general still used the castle of the French revolution under the guidance of Napoleon, as a headquarter. In 1835, André bought baron of pine Bogaerde of Terbrugge the castle touched in decline and started immediately a massive reconstruction. For its growing collection art objects and curiosa, of him and of its sons, the noblemen Louis and Donat, the castle was extended with among other things the weapon room and the Irontower.
The current castle museum gives a picture of the life sitation and the collect tradion from the middle of the 19th century. After the recent restorations there meanwhile guided tours by the castle are possible. The weapon room of the castle does service as official marrylocation of the municipality Bernheze. In under the promenade cellar roofs lain (marry)partys and receptions are given and the carriage house of castle accommodate Heeswijk - and training facilities as well as congress - and presentation spaces meet.

Kasteel Heeswijk is laying on circa 10 minutes from 's Hertogenbosch en 20 minutes from Eindhoven.
Castle De Haar is one of the most famous and visited castles in all of Holland and was originally founded in the late 1300’s by the Van de Haar family, whose standing in society allowed them the comfort of building a fortified abode.
By 1449, the castle became the property of the Van Zuylen family thru marriage. In 1482, the castle was destroyed due to differences of opinion (quarrels) between the city of Utrecht and its bishop
By the 17th century, the Van Zuylen family line had become extinct and the castle was inherited by the Van Stembors, who originated from the south of Holland - present day Belgium. French soldiers attacked and damaged the castle during the years 1672 and 73.
In 1801, Castle De Haar passed to JJ.van Zuylen van Nijevelt, a distant cousin of the Zuylen family. JJ had inherited a castle that was in a poor state of repair due to 200 years of neglect. Upon his death, these magnificent ruins passed to his son Baron Etienne van Zuylen van Nijevelt in 1890.
The rebuilding of the castle was started in 1892 under the guidance of one of Holland’s most famous architects Dr PHJ Cuypers. It is his influence on Castle De Haar that we see today. PHJ Cuypers rebuilt the castle as close as possible to the original outlines and were there was not sufficient material to work with he used his own ideas of what a medieval castle should look like. The interior was rebuilt to a luxurious standard with the inclusion of electricity. A new bailey with an entrance gate was built on its original foundations.
Today the castle is surrounded by parkland but this was not always the case. From the medieval period to the end of the 19th century, the village of Haarzuilens had been surrounded the castle. Haarzuilens was completely demolished and relocated some one and a half kilometres away to the west. The village chapel however was saved from this wilful destruction and incorporated into the new park.
Castle De Haar is now a museum and opens to the public except during the month of September when the Van Zuylen van Nijevelt family turn it back into a home for their month long stay.

Yesterday was probably rated one of the worst shoots. When you get asked the question, "Whats the worst shoot you have ever had?" I have never been able to really answer that but this one goes in the books for sure. I got some amazing photos but still, I have never been so cold and unprepared in my life haha. We drove up Logan Canyon to find snow. Which was fine, I expected that but not a BLIZZARD. It was pretty warm too... 28 degrees. We couldn't even shoot in the original spot I had envisioned because it was so cold and snow up to our legs. ANYWAY, with all that said I got some really good photos that I cannot wait to share!

'Het Speulderbos' is called ' the forest of the dancing trees'. The forest is not just mysterious, it is also very rare. It's a paradise for birds (of prey), deer, badgers and wild boars. So there is enough choice to have a good time!
