Sanna Bay. I think I saw a total of six people. Last week, when it was warm I was staggered to see newspaper pictures of Bournemouth and Brighton beaches. Mugs.
Best viewed large for details.
On a serious note, please look at this:

I am still compiling a list of sensible groups and also a list of nonsensical groups. I will not be adding or inviting to arrogant groups that have ridiculous rules that no-one can follow. I advise you to do the same to make Flickr fun again.
Help make Flickr fun again!

Together with the teletubbies of BBC, Sarah would say: "Ohhh, OHHH! - Ommmi, you should visit the sites of your Flickr friends!!!"
And I ´d agree with her, but Sarah needs my time, and the great spring in Thuringia lets me become addicted to it.
So, please, be patient with me!:)))
Venice: One Quiet Day
Welcoming from the people of Churu, Shekhawati, India. I have discovered and learned to appreciate the people of this non-touristic region of India. Fascinating.
This charming scene, captured in Bari, Italy, showcases a picturesque courtyard framed by a traditional arched entrance. The whitewashed walls and rustic stone pavement add to the old-world charm of the location. A woman in a vibrant red dress sits at a table adorned with flowers, creating a striking contrast against the earthy tones of the surrounding architecture. The soft natural light filtering through the archway highlights the textures of the walls, plants, and cobblestones, giving the image a timeless and inviting feel.
Bari, the capital of Italy’s Apulia region, is a city rich in history, dating back to ancient times. Once an important port for trade with the Eastern Mediterranean, Bari still retains a mix of Greek, Roman, and Norman influences in its urban fabric. Its Old Town, known as Bari Vecchia, is a labyrinth of narrow alleys, historic churches, and hidden courtyards like the one in the image. This part of the city is famous for its lively atmosphere, where locals gather to chat, cook, and enjoy the slower pace of life.
One of the city's most renowned culinary traditions is its handmade pasta, particularly "orecchiette," which can often be seen drying on wooden trays in the streets. Bari’s cuisine is deeply tied to the Mediterranean, featuring fresh seafood, olive oil, and an abundance of vegetables. Traditional dishes such as "tiella barese" (a baked dish with rice, potatoes, and mussels) and "sgagliozze" (fried polenta squares) reflect the region’s culinary heritage. Dining in a courtyard like the one in the photograph would be an authentic way to enjoy these local flavors.
The architecture in Bari Vecchia is characterized by its medieval origins, featuring small archways, stone-paved streets, and fortified buildings. Many homes and passageways are adorned with climbing plants and rustic details, giving them a unique charm. The arch in the foreground of the image serves as a gateway to the hidden beauty of these courtyards, where history, daily life, and a sense of community blend seamlessly. This setting exemplifies the essence of Bari: a city where past and present coexist harmoniously.

"...unification is approached by inviting the eye to travel over the complicated surface exhaustively, rather than inviting it to settle on the whole first and then explore certain details."

This is quite an impressive stretch of road near the Lagoa das Furnas (lagoon) and the José do Canto woods.
Este é um troço de estrada particularmente impressionante perto da Lagoa das Furnas e da Mata/Jardim José do Canto.
On a hot summer's day, a trail in the woods is so inviting. Moss hanging from the trees and a new viewpoint around every curve, stopping to snap images every few minutes... as you can see my hubby ahead of me.

Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday
As I was leaving the Castle of Pombal, this path stopped me in my tracks and it's now in my favourite photo of the site (along with this one :).
Quando ia a sair do Castelo de Pombal, este caminho fez-me parar e está agora a minha foto preferida do local (além desta :).
