Winner, Beautiful Capture of week 25, 2022.
Highest per acre population of bears in the world! Fortunately we stayed on the beach and had no bear encounters.
Hydra, built in the shape of an amphitheatre on a slope overlooking the Argosaronic gulf, is one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Traditional stone mansions, narrow cobblestoned streets, secluded squares and above all the banning of cars and the use of around 500 donkeys as means of public transportation, explain the reason why Hydra preserved its distinctive atmosphere through the passage of time.

There are significant weight restrictions for flying into Union Island and I don't have a compact travel tripod so I did the whole trip with just a 13" table top tripod. It worked better than I expected and forced me to work from a new, lower point of view.

The famous "Mirador del Rio" viewpoint is located at an altitude of 475 meters above sea level against a rock on the northern tip of the island of Lanzarote.
In the past this point served as an lookout post for the Spanish army and an artillery-garrison post was built next to it. Some ruins of the buildings are still visible.
During the day it is always extremely busy with tourists, but when you return late at night you are all alone with nature and you can hear the roar of surf far below.
The setting sun colors the rocks and the plateau in the most different and beautiful brown tones and from the far south fog banks enter the island.
A heavenly feeling..........
The beach of Kolona is basically a narrow strip of land that connects Kythnos to the islet of Agios Loukas. However, it has a particular charm, partly due to its fine, golden sand and the sea lapping at both of its sides.
Rouzic Island, also called Bird Island, is part of the "Sept Îles" archipelago and is located in the English Channel, off the "Côte de Granit Rose". Here you are at the heart of the most important seabird colony in France. The archipelago is home to 27 species of nesting birds, including 15 species of seabirds and the only French Northern Gannet colony made up of more than 24,500 pairs!
The first adaptation of the novel “Dr. No” by Ian Fleming was filmed in 1962 on the island of New Providence, in the Bahamas. The film starred Sean Connery as the famous James Bond character. The scene where Bond arrives at the airport on the island was filmed in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. Moonfleet Beach was the filming location for Bond's bathing scene with Honey Ryder. The final scene was filmed at the Blue Lagoon on Grand Bahama Island. New Providence and Grand Bahama are the islands where the movie Dr No was filmed.

Spirit Island is the iconic Canadian Rocky Mountains landmark on Maligne Lake.
It is located at the far end of the lake and the only way to get there is by charter boat or private non-motorized vessel.
It is definitely worth the trip, as the scenery really is magnificent.
The only problem is that they allow you only about 10 minutes on the island for taking pictures, so there is not a lot of scouting for good locations, so a lot of pictures are all similar to each other.
Beautiful, none-the-less.
