Sunset behind a tree.
The island "Saplı Adası" lies in the bay of Akbük and can be reached on foot through shallow water. The island was formed by ash accumulation after a large volcanic eruption in the Aegean Sea in the 16th century.
According to a rumor, the life of the person who collects 10 pebbles from the island will be extended by 10 years.
My wife and I wanted a New England vacation. So we hit six states to sample as much as possible. We really loved New Hampshire and went to many places including driving the Kancamagus highway, climbing Mt. Washington, seeing the ball signal at Whitefield and of course, Crawford Notch on the former Maine Central Mountain Division. Having swapped ends, Conway Scenic's train departs Crawford's.

I was never thinking that the seascape shooting can be so adventurous like this morning. I went with Michael to Shelly Beach-Manly to take some shots but I must have misunderstood his email. Seriously, when he told me that this was going to be an adventure, he was right!!
We decided that instead of walking for half an hour to our destination we would take the shortcut via a steep road down to the cliff in pitch black darkness (5.30 am). Well Michael had a flash light and I forgot mine at home, bottom line – we finally reached our destination with some additional scars, bruises and scratches on my legs and feet. I had slipped a couple of times and fell despite my Spiderman powers and my new wet shoes!!
We met Oat ( Hangingpixels) and few more photographers; good thing is to see how many people enjoy photography, sunrise and seascape shooting.

An automobile in the quirky ghost town of Darwin, CA. The Darwin Dancehall is in the background. About 30 people still live in Darwin, but it is kind of hard to tell what is occupied and what is abandoned. It is probably safe to say this car is abandoned.
Happy Saturated Saturday!
At the last exit off my favorite U.S. highway—US-64 East, between Rocky Mount and Manteo—just after crossing the Croatan Sound… Although my destination is usually just a few miles ahead (Manteo, Nags Head, etc.), I always stop here to enjoy the sunset.
I don’t know why I love driving this particular stretch of highway, but each time, I experience a strange fusion of anticipation, freedom, and joy—tinged with a quiet melancholy. Perhaps it’s the weight of past travels along this same path, the moments left behind, pressing so heavily that they become something resigned yet strangely poetic.

The Winter Palace was the official residence of the Russian Emperors from 1732 to 1917. Today, the palace and its precincts form the Hermitage Museum. Situated between Palace Embankment and Palace Square, in Saint Petersburg, adjacent to the site of Peter the Great's original Winter Palace, the present and fourth Winter Palace was built and altered almost continuously between the late 1730s and 1837, when it was severely damaged by fire and immediately rebuilt. The storming of the palace in 1917, as depicted in Soviet propaganda art and Sergei Eisenstein's 1927 film October, became an iconic symbol of the Russian Revolution.
As completed, the overriding exterior form of the Winter Palace's architecture, with its decoration in the form of statuary and opulent stucco work on the pediments above façades and windows, is Baroque. The exterior has remained as finished during the reign of Empress Elizabeth. The principal façades, those facing the Palace Square and the Neva river, have always been accessible and visible to the public. Only the lateral façades are hidden behind granite walls, concealing a garden created during the reign of Nicholas II. The building was conceived as a town palace, rather than a private palace within a park, such as that of the French kings at Versailles.
The palace was constructed on a monumental scale that was intended to reflect the might and power of Imperial Russia. From the palace, the Tsar ruled over 22,400,000 square kilometers (8,600,000 sq mi) (almost 1/6 of the Earth's landmass) and over 125 million subjects by the end of the 19th century. It was designed by many architects, most notably Bartolomeo Rastrelli, in what came to be known as the Elizabethan Baroque style. The green-and-white palace has the shape of an elongated rectangle, and its principal façade is 215 metres (705 ft) long and 30 m (98 ft) high. The Winter Palace has been calculated to contain 1,886 doors, 1,945 windows, 1,500 rooms and 117 staircases. Following a serious fire, the palace's rebuilding of 1837 left the exterior unchanged, but large parts of the interior were redesigned in a variety of tastes and styles, leading the palace to be described as a "19th-century palace inspired by a model in Rococo style".

A walk anywhere in, and around, Dubrovnik will provide you with views unmatched in other areas of the world. In your imaginative mind, take a step back in time, then wonder what it was like so many years ago when these stunning structures were built. I love travelling this way. What was it like to be back in time? What were the sights? Smells? Sounds?
The luscious blues of the Adriatic Sea surrounding the Old City of Dubrovnik is one of the more beautiful sights one can see in this part of the world.

Final destination. It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: It was love at first sight. Maybe it was mutual this time, as the weather improved half an hour after we got here and stayed sunny and luvverly until the day we left.
