Anse San Peyre, La Garde Toulon, Côte d’Azur
L’anse San Peyre se situe à Toulon, sur la Côte d’Azur. Ce sont de petites criques rocheuses. Cabanons de pêcheurs colorés âgés d’une centaine d’années, et falaises abruptes, campent le décor de la plus discrète des anses : San Peyre.
Plus sauvage que sa grande sœur Magaud, San Peyre se mérite.
Prenez soin de ces petits paradis, le milieu naturel est fragile et doit être préservé !

It was 4am and the previous nights rain had subsided but the heat and humidity certainly hadn’t. In that single moment, on my creaking bamboo raft and the most amazing karst peaks slowly appearing with the first dawn light, I had never felt further from home.
It’s obvious to say that China is on a scale of its own, from the sheer extent of its population, to the size and commercial scope of its cities and economy to the division of wealth between its people – I really cannot think of anywhere else that matches the eminence of this country.
Travelling through China was an amazing experience and one I certainly learnt a lot from. It is an ancient civilisation and rich in so much culture that it was easy to find myself lost and captivated by what the country has to offer. What’s more is that the future for China is looking bright. It has overcome so much to be where it is today and it’s impossible to not feel the excitement and buzz in the air of a country that is taking progression in giant strides.
In this moment however, I was completely and utterly lost and wanted to enjoy every moment of it 🌏 🇨🇳

Having started a short uni course with Lancaster University on Wordsworth, I thought it was time to brush up on Bill before he goes wandering.

The municipality is centered around the little maritime town of Grimstad which is surrounded by many small islands (Skjærgård).
There is a harbor, a long pedestrian shopping street, a small market square, Grimstad Church, and a museum dedicated to the early life of Henrik Ibsen, who served as an apprentice to Grimstad’s local pharmacist Reimann, from 1844 to 1847, before leaving Grimstad in 1850. Ibsen's intimate knowledge of the local people and surroundings can be seen in his poem Terje Vigen.
The majority of the inhabitants live in and around the town, while the rest of the municipality is rural and heavily forested.

Röda sten, in english Red Stone, is a cultural center just below Älvsborgsbron in Gothenburg. Music, art, skating, graffiti... you name it.
The third shot of one of the most amazing buildings I have ever seen, the first two shots were these www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/50099346213/in/datepo..., www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/51169723336/in/datepo....
It really is difficult to catch the beauty of this miracle.
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.

The construction, started in 1906, was partly built on the old ruins of the mediaeval Royal Court of Moldavia (1434), and partly on top of the foundations of the former neoclassical style palace, dated to the time of Prince Alexandru Moruzi, rebuilt by Prince Mihail Sturdza and demolished in 1904. It was from this latter building that the Palace inherited the legend of the 365 rooms, as many as the days within one year. - Wikipedia
It is named as "the most beautiful village in China" for its well-preserved Hui-style architecture, with over 1,200 years of history.
For some reason Thai ladies in particular were seen to be in the habit of dressing up in their what looked like traditional attire to pose for their photographs in historic cultural and or historic sites. This lady was posing for what looked like her family so I grabbed a rushed shot of her in her finery. Photographed within the Grand Palace in Bangkok.
