The visit and guided tour of Poblet Monastery.
Monks still lives in this monastery. It was restored in the 20th century, having been ruined in the 19th century. There are tombs here of the Kings and Queens of Aragon.
The Royal Abbey of Santa Maria de Poblet (Catalan: Reial Monestir de Santa Maria de Poblet) is a Cistercian monastery, founded in 1151, located at the foot of the Prades Mountains, in the comarca of Conca de Barberà , in Catalonia (Spain). It was founded by Cistercian monks from France on lands conquered from the Moors. The main architect was Arnau Bargués.
This monastery was the first of three sister monasteries, known as the Cistercian triangle, that helped consolidate power in Catalonia in the 12th century. (The other two are Vallbona de les Monges and Santes Creus.)
Poblet was one of the two royal pantheons of the kings of the Crown of Aragon since James I of Aragon (along with Monastery of San Juan de la Peña). Some of the most important royal sepulchres have alabaster statues that lie over the tomb. The kings have lion sculptures at their feet, while the queens have dogs.
Peter IV of Aragon (1319 – 1387) made it a condition, under solemn oath at the moment of crowning, that all the Aragonese kings be buried there. Only Ferdinand II of Aragon broke the oath, after his kingdom had been merged with the Kingdom of Castile, and was buried in Granada.
The Calefactory
Or "warming room". Used by monks to alleviate the chill of winter. Was also used as the monks' barber's shop.

A goofy pose before the Koh Tapu pillar rock (called a 'stack' in geogological terms) courtesy my guide. I am at Khao Phing Kan or James Bond island as part of the Ao Phang Nga speedboat tour, known more commonly as the James Bond Islands tour, out of Phuket, Thailand. Khao Phing Kan was the shooting location for the 1974 Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun, detailed notes about which I have already put up earlier in this album. (see previous pictures). After being rather cheeky, at times even rude and sarcastic, I had no option other than to request my guide to take a couple of selfies of me at this island. He surprisingly agreed quite willingly and was making me do all sorts of wonky things here. I only wish he had paid a little more attention to the position of my hand to get a slightly better picture, though in his favour, the bright light on the iPhone screen probably rendered the display pretty dark. Oh well! Phang Nga Bay is one of the most beautiful bays of Thailand. famous for its gravity-defying limestone formations and pillar rocks (or 'stacks' in geological terms). Most travelers visit Ko Khao Phing Kan or James Bond Island- this one, especially since 1974, as it was the shooting location for the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. In front of Khao Phing Kan is Ko Tapu- the pillar rock (known as a 'stack' in geological terms)- the top of this stack is shown to blow up woth 007 neutralizes the bad guy Scaramanga and destroys his extensive facilities- thank goodness those were all pyrotechnics and the islands are largely intact, save for some mutilation pertaining to the film shooting. This stack, or Koh Tapu is probably the most characteristic feature of the Ao Phang Nga bay and is often seen on tourist brochures, almost serving as the symbol of the extensive bay. Sadly, over tourism might kill the fragile eco system of Khao Phing Kan or James Bond island, like it did with Maya Bay, also around Phuket, consequent to it being the filming location for another Bollywood blockbuster The Beach. This led to the beaches around Maya Bay to be closed to the public for several years, now extended until at least 2021. I only hope Khao Phing Kan or James Bond Island does not suffer a similar fate- the authorities could be better off restricting over tourism on this island as well. Notes about the Ao Phang Nga bay appeared earlier in this album. (see previous pictures). (Phuket, Thailand, Oct/ Nov. 2019)

I'm not really sure what I was thinking.
"Photo assignments from two travel guides, plus my day job," I said to myself. "I'll be spread a little thin, but I can hack it for a month, no problem."
Spread a little thin, that is, in much the same way that the ocean is a little wet. Five weeks later, I'm completely fried. Luckily, the last two shoots have been scheduled and by the end of the week I'll have everything submitted, more or less on time. But I now have a new appreciation for just how demanding it can be, not just physically (although when your main mode of transportation is your own two feet, it certainly is that), but also creatively. It's a very different thing to try to find unique shots when you're working from a set list, as opposed to just shooting whatever strikes your fancy. Above all, the hardest part has been to keep my left-brain software job going while trying to think creatively about photos. There's a reason why the best photographers don't have day jobs.
Which isn't to say I haven't enjoyed it immensely...I was also looking at this as a test to see if my love for photography was just a passing infatuation, or if it would stand up to a serious test. The fact that I've taken over 8,000 photos in the past month and still enjoy the feel of my camera in my hand seems like a good sign to me.
On Saturday morning, at the height of the deadline crunch, I was running from place to place to hunt down the last shots when I turned the corner and saw this plaza. Completely empty, with a single chair illuminated by a beam of sunlight, it seemed like a oasis of calm, quietly beckoning me to sit and stay awhile. I stopped in my tracks for a moment, listening to the birds overhead and realizing that the noises of the city had faded away.
Breathe. Point. Shoot. Breathe.
It only lasted a few moments, but that short little Zen interlude helped me refocus and push on through the rest of the day. When I finally fell into bed at 3am my body was aching and my brain exhausted, but I felt like I had accomplished something, and been given a little gift along the way.
I don't know what I was thinking, signing myself up for something like this. But I do know that I would do it every day if I could.

This infographic presents an easy guide to read guide to men’s dress shoes.
To complete a formal look, dress shoes are essential. To wear a suit and tie with any old shoes is to do a disservice by lessening the stylishness and impact of the look. Our guide will help you to understand which types of shoes will emphasise, rather than downplay, your style.
Formal Boots
While you might not realise it, you can pair your suit with a pair of boots. Three different styles of boot are appropriate for formal dress
The Styles
•Dress Boots
Very similar to an oxford, the only difference is a higher ankle. Historically, they were a work boot, but over the course of the last century, the role has reversed.
Features: this style of boot requires a winged or capped toe. These are types of perforation around the toe.
Occasion: Dress boots are suitable for formal eveningwear or business meetings.
•Chelsea Boots
A boot that dates to the Victorian era, they made popular by the Chelsea boys of the 1960s.
Features: elasticated strip at the ankles and a plain toe – no laces.
Occasion: because of the lack of laces, this is a semi-formal choice of boot suiting semi-casual events, such as a day at the races.
•Chukka Boots
This is a relatively rare style of shoe with an interesting history. Back in the day, they were a type of post-sport shoe worn by polo players. Polo is a sport of the upper classes, and as such, this shoe is relatively upmarket, although it has casual feel.
Features: a plain toe and three-eyelet lacing, it has a relatively loose fit, lending to the air of casualness.
Occasion: these boots are suitable for business casual, parties, and semi-formal events.
Formal Shoes
Shoes tend to be the footwear of choice when wearing a suit, and as you can imagine, there is slightly more choice here.
The Styles
•The Oxford
Named after the prestigious university, you can be sure that this is one of the most popular styles of formal footwear for men.
Features: a little complicated here, because with this style of men formal shoes, you can choose from a range of toes, including plain, capped toe, and wingtips. Oxfords have laces attached to two tabs (one on each side).
Occasion: Oxfords are suitable for formal events – both business and entertainment, as well as dates.
•The Derby
This style is similar to an Oxford but less formal. The top of the shoe has a larger opening than the Oxford and the toe is slightly more bulbous.
Features: similar to the Oxford, they have the two tabs and lacing. However, the tabs form part of the upper shoe that wraps around the ankle. With Oxfords, the tabs are an addition sewn to the shoe. For the toes, you can choose between wingtips, plain toes, and capped toes.
Occasion: slightly less formal than the Oxford, the Derby is suitable for semi-casual and casual situations.
•The Loafer
Loafers are a recent addition to the dress shoe collective, appearing in the formal sections of footwear shops from the 1960s onwards.
Features: this is a slip on shoe, so a good choice of men's comfort shoes. There’s often a decorative feature where the laces should be. These features may be tassels, pennies, or bits.
Occasion: because they are a comfort shoe, they suit casual/semi-formal environments.
•The Monk Strap
A stylish and relatively rare style, these are great for those of you with a keen sense of fashion.
Features: Rather than laces, you will find a strap and buckle – either a single or a double buckle.
Occasion: perfect for many occasions, including work, the theatre, and dinner dates.
