We stopped the car for Bob to have a 'comfort break' while driving to Bonifacio on the southernmost tip of Corsica and while she was enjoying her 'comfort break' I noticed this house in the distance on a hill with the dramatic backdrop.
A storm brewing in the evening at my familiar sunrise spot at the east end.
Hey another Flickr display format change? hmm I actually kind like it this time. It sort of resembles the original format. Looks nice and clean. Finally, thank you, FLICKR
This imposing mass of rock that looms above the Laconian coastline is linked to the mainland by a narrow causeway and a 130 metre long bridge, to which the town owes its name (“moni emvasi”which means “only access”).
The rock is 1500 metres long, 600 metres wide at its widest point, and is almost 200 metres high. The top of the rock is flat, forming a sloping plateau surrounded by steep cliffs falling to the sea. There are two fortified settlements, invisible from the mainland – the Lower Town (7,500 square metres) and the Upper Town (120,000 square metres) situated on the plateau at the top of the rock.
The train slowly pulls up to the Prentiss siding to lift several cars as the Dow chemical plant looms in the background.
Finally after several months, the SD75I pair that was typical of L555 had been replaced by something more interesting; I've never seen this train get so much attention.
06/100x - 100 walks in mono (but just occasionally in colour...)
Another dreary day for a dog walk, but me and Chunk managed three miles or so in the drizzle. I've always likes the geometric cladding of this block of flats we sometimes walk past.

Deep in the Lairig Ghru in a remote area of the Scottish Highlands, with the towing Ben MacDui, the UK's 2nd highest peak standing at 1309 meters (4295 feet) still covered in winter snow. To its right is the ridge walk leading to the summit of Carn a'Mhaim. But it's time to stop and rest now and find a nice place to site and have lunch.
Quick shot as the clouds lifted to show a route to the last munro Creag Pitridh from Geal Carn later afternoon on a cold winter day..trying to get down before darkness.
The ruined tower that you see is one of a series of towers that acted as beacons throughout Corsica. The Genoese towers are the most unique architectural feature in Corsica. About 15m high, fortified and usually round in shape, around 85 of them were constructed in the 16th century.
What sights bergs are - especially for those with imaginations. The larger sizes will show that there are quite a few birds in this area!!
