Pinamar - Buenos Aires - Argentina.
Pinamar is an Argentine coastal resort city located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Buenos Aires Province. It has about 20,000 inhabitants as per the 2001 census [INDEC].
Located less than 400 km (249 mi) south of Buenos Aires, it is one of several small seaside communities that line the coast. Since Pinamar's main attraction is the ocean, it is a fairly quiet town during the winter months. Tourism fuels the economy during the summer. Several other coastal towns are right beside Pinamar. If you move south, you will have the towns of Ostende, Valeria del Mar, and finally Cariló.
Two facts set Pinamar apart from most of the other Argentine beach cities: it is a planned city with a very strict building code, and it has been artificially turned from wild sand dunes into a forest (mostly of pine trees, which explains the "pina" in the town's name).
City planning, as defined by founding architect Jorge Bunge and maintained by elected authorities ever since, translates into a city mostly made up of residential houses with open gardens; that, together with the pine forest, combine to make the city a very nice setting. That explains why it has been chosen as the summer resort for many well-to-do Argentinians, in particular those living in Buenos Aires.
Pine planting was originally started in Cariló -- a town nearby Villa Gesell and copied in Pinamar, although the city plan for Villa Gesell was not as carefully laid out or kept through the years.

Sculpture by Rowan Gillespie on the Hobart waterfront, commemorating the thousands of women and children who were transported here as convicts. Many for minor crimes. I was only able to get 3 sculptures in shot with the little boy being to the side at the back out of photo. I did find the background with the newer buildings a bit distracting from the statues.

Four sculptures commemorate the convict women and their children who were transported to Van Diemen`s Land (Tasmania). The sculptures are at the location where they disembarked after their journey.
"The project called Footsteps Towards Freedom tells the untold stories through the artwork about Hunter Island, the arrival point for many women and children who came to Tasmania in the 19th century.
From 1803 to 1853, almost 13,000 convict women together with 2,000 children arrived in Van Diemen’s Land."

The Footsteps Sculpture is an artistic installation located in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. It represents the footprints of the first European settlers who arrived on the island, symbolizing their journey and the impact of colonization. The sculpture is situated along Hobart’s waterfront, a historically significant area. It was created to encourage reflection on Tasmania’s history and cultural heritage. It also acknowledges the resilience and history of the island’s Aboriginal peoples. It is a point of interest for those looking to understand Tasmania’s past. Its minimalist design invites contemplation. It serves as a reminder of the region’s historical legacy.
This was shot during the visit to the katwijk(Netherlands) beach....The wind was so heavy at the beach that it resulted in sand waves..
"As I make this footstep on earth, there are footsteps made on Mars. Earth is not the limit for Mankind"
Today's the Valentine's Day. I saw many couples strolling along the beach and sitting and cuddling to see the sunset together. I guess you can say it's quite romantic. Then I found these footsteps. Footsteps of an individual - not two pairs. Someone like myself must have been walking alone at this beach too. I must have left similar footsteps in the sand just like these. Would you believe if I say I was with my love? Yes, I was holding my love in my hands. :D

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. ~ Henry David Thoreau.
