Die Stadtgemeinde Stykkishólmur liegt im Westen Islands in der Region Vesturland an der Nordseite der Halbinsel Snæfellsnes.
Hier hatten wir ein ganz süßes kleines Hotel mit einem winzigen Zimmer, dafür gab es morgens Lachs zum Frühstück
A scene from Ullapool Harbor, on the West Coast of Scotland, a very idyllic and interesting little town.
There are more pictures from Scotland – both landscapes, urban photos, castles and flowers – in the Scotland album
Oslo harbor with all the ferries coming and going 😊
They are on the move to the islands in the fjords and to a place called Nesodden.
Lots of people are travelling out to the small islands to enjoy swimming and barbequing.
It has been so dry for weeks now, so barbeque isn't allowed, but it's nice even tho to travel out to these islands.
All the yachts are pretty cool to watch too, some of them are pretty big.
Anchoring at AkerBrygge must be pretty nice for them, it's full of life here all season, lots of restaurants with various food.
It's indeed very nice.
Lady Maryland and Sigsbee docked at the Frederick Douglass- Isaac Myers pier in Fells Point, Baltimore Harbor.
Split, Croatia, view of the harbor after a departing rainstorm on a spring afternoon, the low light image was taken from the balcony of my apartment, the others from sea level earlier in the afternoon. Happy weekend to everyone.
Seagulls are quite chatty. They have no problems squawking and letting their voices be heard.
Gulls are social creatures and will communicate with other birds flying above, this was very loud at the harbor, perhaps was complaining about the water being frozen:-)
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! I prefer to post a new image every other week when possible, but chose to post this shot one week after the last, to promote a very important message.
A mammogram + early detection can help save a woman’s life. Be educated about fighting breast cancer, and please share the message.
I love long exposure photography. The effects intrigue me, and even though I plan to capture a specific look with each shot, the resulting image often surprises me.
What I attempt to convey using this technique, is the surreal, but not unreal. An image that represents light and color detail in almost every part of the recorded scene.

St Malo is named after the Welsh monk Mac Low, became in the sixth century bishop of Alet, ancient cradle of the modern city, founded in the mid-twelfth century, on a rocky island neighbour.
From the thirteenth century, inhabitants of Saint-Malo captured enemies’ ships.
In 1308, they had a sworn town, and then, from 1395 to 1415, they give the King of France, Charles VI, who granted them with portuary franchises. In the late fifteenth century, Anne de Bretagne, by his successive marriages with Charles VIII and Louis XII, annexed the Duchy of Brittany to the Kingdom of France.
Saint-Malo indEpendEnt
To protect the portuary franchises, the Dukes of Brittany have built the castle that inhabitants of St Malo besiege in 1590 to declare then "Independent Republic" for 4 years until the abjuration of King Henry IV.
Already, from 1534 to 1542, Jacques Cartier had doubled the road of Newfound-land and discovered Canada.
A PROSPEROUS CITY
The city once known as "Saint-Malo de l'Isle" confined in its narrow fence (16 hectares) around its cathedral, partially burned during the first fire in 1661.
In the following years, Vauban and Garangeau transformed it again by making it larger 4 times up to 24 hectares. With its seafarers and its traders who commission for India, China, Africa, the Americas, the prosperity of the city is prodigious in the 17th and 18th centuries.
EXPLORERS OF THE CITY
Gouin de Beauchesne faces Cape Horn in 1701. Mahé de la Bourdonnais colonizes the Mascarenes and recaptures Madras. Maupertuis leaves to Lapland in 1736 to measure the shape of the Earth. Privateers, Duguay Trouin that seizes Rio de Janeiro in 1711 and Surcouf give it a considerable prestige.
After the end of privateering in 1815, St. Malo still maintains its arms to Newfoundland and continue to develop its port.
THE LEGACY OF ITS FAMOUS PEOPLE
The wealth of traders is not expressed better than in the buildings they left behind. If the half-timbered houses with stained glass, like rear-castles of ships, have almost all but disappeared (The House of Poets and Writers), the old stone buildings are still numerous enough to witness the richness of Saint-Malo as this period (The Asfeld Mansion).
Saint-Malo IN THE XXth CENTURY
The battles of 1944 devastate 80 % of the port and Intra Muros. If reconstruction has restored its legendary silhouette, Saint-Malo, historic and maritime great city, since acquires all the necessary equipment for one of the tourist hotspots of Britanny and the first port of its northern coast.
The 26th of October in 1967, Saint-Malo Intra Muros, St Servan, Paramé and Rothéneuf merge: it is the birth of “the big Saint-Malo” and a new beginning for the city
Here is a capture taken in Bar Harbor Maine earlier in the blue hour where I was able to try opening the aperture wide on the 24mm, go to ISO 250 and keep the exposure to around 8 seconds. With the slight chop in the water, this is about the total time to keep the shutter open and not have the boats docked there from moving.
Also, the White Balance here is around 5000K ... allowing for a nice balance I think between the blue hour sky and the warmer light from the town area lighting up the pier and boats.
Fortunate to have good weather for my one chance at photographing sunset from Bass Harbor Lighthouse at Acadia National Park. This was taken at dusk after the Sun went down behind the treeline. Lucky the afterglow was still providing good color on the clouds.
