Although they are called waterfalls, they actually consist of intense tidal currents hurtling through two narrow gorges. Massive tidal movements create a waterfall effect as water banks up against one side of the narrow cliff passage, to be repeated again on the turning tide. The tide builds up in front of the gaps faster than it can flow through them and there can be a four-metre-high waterfall between the bays.
The falls were described by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the greatest natural wonders of the world”.
Travelling through them on special powerful speed boats provides one of the worlds natural adrenalin rushes. The gap between the two rock faces does not leave much for any errors but then these drivers have been doing it for a long time.
The climate at the border between Georgia and Azerbaijan, where the rock-hewn Georgian Orthodox monastery complex Davit Gareja is located, is described as semidesert, but despite the harsh environment, the monastery remained an important centre of religious and cultural activity for many centuries.

view of old town of Mostar and Old Bridge (Stari Most) from the minaret of the mosque (Koski Mehmed-pašina džamija)
Mostar is situated on the Neretva River and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva during the Ottoman era. The Old Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, commissioned by Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most visited landmarks, and is considered an exemplary piece of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.
The oldest single arch stone bridge in Mostar, the Kriva Cuprija ("Sloping Bridge"), was built in 1558 by the Ottoman architect Cejvan Kethoda. It is said that this was to be a test before the major construction of the Stari Most began. The Old Bridge was completed in 1566 and was hailed as one of the greatest architectural achievement in the Ottoman controlled Balkans. This single-arch stone bridge is an exact replica of the original bridge that stood for over 400 years and that was designed by Hajrudin, a student of the great Ottoman architect Sinan. It spans 28.7 m (94 ft) of the Neretva river, 21 m (69 ft) above the summer water level. The Halebija and Tara towers have always housed the guardians of the bridge and during Ottoman times were also used as storehouses for ammunition. The arch is a perfect semicircle 8.56 m (28.1 ft) in width and 4.15 m (13.6 ft) in height. The frontage and vault are made of regular stone cubes incorporated into the horizontal layers all along the vault. The space between vault, frontal walls and footpath is filled with cracked stone. The bridge footpath and the approaching roads are paved with cobblestones, as is the case with the main roads in the town. Stone steps enable people to ascend to the bridge either side. During the armed conflict between Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats in the Bosnian War in the 1990s, the bridge was destroyed by the HVO (Croatian Defence Council).
Since the end of the wider war in 1995, great progress has been made in the reconstruction of the city of Mostar. Over 15 million dollars has been spent on restoration. A monumental project to rebuild the Old Bridge, which was destroyed during the Bosnian War, to the original design, and restore surrounding structures and historic neighbourhoods was initiated in 1999 and mostly completed by spring 2004. A grand opening was held on 23 July 2004. In July 2005, UNESCO inscribed the Old Bridge and its closest vicinity onto the World Heritage List.
I liked the way the birch tree with the trail of fallen leaves seemed to mimic Douglas Falls and the water flowing downstream.

Simple. Porque existe este personaje que se llama director que, es como un adolescente enamorado, elige las mejores canciones de muchas partes para regalarlas en un cd.
This atmospheric phenomenon popped up in the Valley below our home recently. I looked up from another photo project I was working on and voila! I knew I only had seconds to capture the image, so I grabbed my cell phone and snapped three images. I ran to the back of the house and grabbed my "real" camera and rushed back to the large window opening that looks over the valley. Guess What? The rainbow was gone. So I guess the old aphorism, "The best camera is the one you have with you" holds true.
Horizontal rainbows are rare and each is unique in the way, and where, they present. I had never seen one before.
So happy to have caught this one.

El río Duero divide en dos partes la ciudad de Oporto, la Ribeira, y por otro lado, la ciudad de Vila Nova de Gaia, donde se encuentran ubicadas la mayoría de las bodegas del riquísimo vino de Oporto.
Los cruceros en barco por el Río Duero (Duoro) realizan un trayecto de una hora aproximadamente y hacen un recorrido por el río, pasando por varios de los puentes de la ciudad. Son barcos con asientos en el interior y exterior, baño, y barra de bar.
