Everything is this compact town is so perfect – the Market Square, the Cathedral, the numerous parks all look as if they were crafted by artists of note, which they were!
The city is very well preserved and clean to boot. It is almost like a stage set, nay, make that a movie set, perhaps a Disney flick?
Every window has lace curtains and flower boxes with geraniums, all the buildings are in good repair, and the architecture is infinitely interesting. Low-country designs of the Middle Ages were a matter of pride; every detail down to the outline of a window frame is beautifully proportioned.
In the heart of the downtown, motor vehicles are prohibited, except for deliveries during restricted hours, making it one of the easiest walking cities of the world, safe and well-signed. The winding cobbled streets, adjacent to the canals, are shared by pedestrians and the occasional horse-drawn carriage. Sweepers follow the horses and keep the streets litter free.
Restaurants serve authentic Belgian cooking, a strong rival to French cuisine, as well as numerous international style dishes. Fresh fish, cooked a thousand different ways, is plentiful, as are beautiful homegrown vegetables. Of course, this country is famous for its chocolate, a worthy choice for dessert. My own personal favorite Belgian meal is carpes frites plus pommes frites, which would be called ‘fish and chips’ anywhere else, but is in fact a perfect delicacy here in Bruges.
The Pantheon
is a former Roman temple, now a Catholic church (Basilica di Santa Maria ad Martyres or Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs), in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD).
It was completed by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated about 126 AD.

Discovering this little canyon during my last trip to Iceland I was surprised and amazed by this mysterious atmosphere that emerges here. It is located at the end of a small stony track, off the beaten paths where thousands of tourists go every day.

En découvrant ce petit canyon lors de mon dernier voyage en Islande j'étais surprise et émerveillé par cette ambiance mystérieuse qui s'y dégage. Il se trouve tout à la fin d'une petite piste caillouteuse hors des sentiers battus où dévalent des milliers des touristes tous les jours.
One of the prettiest mountain drives awaits you if you travel the SR479 to Sulmona, panoramic scenes and small untouristed villages wait patiently to be discovered by those willing to brave the roads to see them, depicted here is one my favorites along the way Scanno. Scanno is known as the village of photographers with the likes of Hilde Lotz-Bauer, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Mario Giacomelli, Renzo Tortelli, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Ferdinando Scianna, Mario Cresci all having taken famous shots here. While my shots may not be famous I famously enjoyed taking them and would highly recommend a stop here as well as in neighboring Villalago if you still have any storage space after Scanno.

Green Canyon
is a real paradise in a nature reserve, located in the Taurus Mountains.
It stretches for 14 kilometers and is part of a huge reservoir, formed as a result of the construction of the dam of the hydroelectric power station “Oimapinar” and impressive with its beauty.
Discovery is in our DNA - all you need to do is discover it.
View large and, as always, thanks for looking!
Shot with a Nikon D810 and 24mm f1.8 G
It sifts from leaden sieves
It sifts from leaden sieves,
It powders all the wood,
It fills with alabaster wool
The wrinkles of the road.
It makes an even face
Of mountain and of plain, —
Unbroken forehead from the east
Unto the east again.
It reaches to the fence,
It wraps it, rail by rail,
Till it is lost in fleeces;
It flings a crystal veil.....
An extract of a poem made by Emely Dickinson
Discovered this little cutie relaxing under our bird feeder. It stayed long enough for me to change my lens and get a few snaps, while yawning, stretching, and rolling. What a treat. Shot thru two dirty glass doors. : )
