There isn't many beaches around Hong Kong. Tai Pak Beach at Discovery Bay seemed small to me. Maybe it's just me, but the highrise dominates the view.

長洲北帝廟，又叫做長洲玉虛宮，因為中國廟宇向來都係一廟多神。呢個北帝廟嚮長洲神社街嘅北邊。廟入面有好多古董、歷史、文物，例如一座古鐘上面刻住「乾隆四十九年」。
長洲北帝廟而家由華人廟宇委員會管理。嚮長洲太平清醮時，呢個玉虛宮前面球場，係主要儀式嘅活動場地，例如長洲搶包山等。
Op zondag 3 juli maakte de Friese Modelbouw Club voor het 40 jarig jubileum een rondrit over de Veluwe met Plan U 151 van de stichting 2454crew. De rit ging van Leeuwarden naar de SHD in Amersfoort en via de VSM en de IJsselijn terug naar Leeuwarden. Net als vele andere fotografen besloot ik om de diesel 3 op de VSM op de foto te zetten. Naast de Plan U werd ook Deltarail met de Craftertrein richting Bad Bentheim in de buurt van Frankfurt (Oder) gemeld, deze trein zou volgens verwachting rond 16u aankomen in Bad Bentheim. Echter zou de trein vanwege werkzaamheden tussen Ibbenbüren en Rheine omgeleid moeten worden via Münster, dus er zou zo'n 2 uur aan rijtijd bijkomen.
Met deze omleiding in gedachte werd besloten om met een andere fotograaf richting Salzbergen te reizen om deze trein als extra mee te pakken. Zo'n 20 minuten na aankomst kwam om 18:31 de 243 069 (nog in de ex RBH kleurstelling) van Deltarail met de Craftertrein door station Salzbergen gereden richting Bad Bentheim. Vanaf Bad Bentheim zou de 9901 de trein verder rijden naar de eindbestemming Amersfoort.
Today I only have one post, and it's coming a little later than usual. The reason is that my day started very early and was very eventful.
You'll gradually find out what those events were. Here's a little hint.
Here you're looking at the village of Pak Ou, which lies on the river of the same name, where it flows into the Mekong. Behind it is the mountain of the same name (so they weren't very imaginative when it came to names).
And this whole scene is taking place in Laos, not far from the former capital, Luang Prabang.
Heute gibt es von mir nur einen Post und der kommt auch noch etwas später als üblich. Der Grund dafür ist, dass mein Tag heute sehr früh begann und sehr erlebnisreich war.
Was zu diesen Erlebnissen alles gehörte, werdet Ihr nach und nach hier erfahren. Hier seht Ihr schon einmal einen kleinen Hinweis.
Ihr blickt hier auf das Dorf Pak Ou, welches am gleichnamigen Fluß liegt, der an dieser Stelle in den Mekong mündet und hinter dem sich der gleichnamige Berg befindet (also was Namen anbelangt war man hier wohl nicht sehr einfallsreich).
Und diese ganze Szene spielt sich übrigens in Laos unweit der ehemaligen Hauptstadt Luang PraBang ab.

It took a great deal of time in the supermarket to find three pak choi without holes or dead leaves!
Pak Khlong Talat is a market in Wang Burapha Phirom Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand, that sells flowers, fruits, and vegetables. It is the primary flower market of Bangkok and has been cited as a "place of symbolic value" to Bangkok residents. It is on Chak Phet Road and adjacent side-streets, close to Memorial Bridge. Though the market is open 24 hours, it is busiest before dawn, when boats and trucks arrive with flowers from nearby provinces. Its location by Chao Phraya River near the southern end of Khlong Khu Mueang Doem, hence the name 'Pak Khlong Talat', literally means "the market on the mouth of the canal".
Lussonium - Garden of Roman Ruins (romkert), Paks
In the area of Dunakömlőd, now belonging to Paks (Hungary), Bottyán Bank once rised above the old riverbed of the Danube. On top of the bank there are the remnants of the Roman military settlement of Lussonium. The relicts exhibited in the Town Museum suggest that an earlier auxiliary palisade camp had also stood on the site. The stone fortress had a north-south orientation extending for 249 metres, the width excavated thus far is 30-50 metres.
Lussonium - római kori romkert, Paks
A mai Pakshoz tartozó Dunakömlőd területén, a valamikori Duna-meder fölé magasodó Bottyán-sánc tetején helyezkednek a római katonai település, Lussonium maradványai. Az előkerült leletek alapján (ezeket a Városi Múzeumban állítják ki) valószínűsíthető, hogy a korábbi auxiliáris (segédcsapati) palánktábor is ezen a helyen állt. A kőerőd észak-déli irányú, kiterjedése 249 m, jelenlegi szélessége 30-50 m.

Yosemie“Charlie’s Tree” — Trees growing on the side of a granite dome, Yosemite.
This tree (and its companion hiding behind it) is situated in an especially picturesque location at the base of a granite dome, where it grows out the upper edge of a pile of rocks. At just the right moment the light of the sun moves around from behind and above the dome and illuminates the tree from behind. (You may have seen this tree in another photograph I recently shared, one that takes a wider view of the scene.)
There are many reason s that I like this tree, but one is that it always reminds me how easy it is to overlook something interesting. It is along a road that I have driven for decades on my way to someplace else. And for years I whizzed past this spot without noticing it at all. Then I saw a photograph o this tree by Charles Cramera and since then I do notice it. I often stop and look, and if the light is decent I’ll make a photograph or two — but in the end it will always remain “Charlie’s Tree.”

I interrupt this programming to bring this breaking news: I found the new black kitty tee! YAY!! I was uber happy. TRU had a Buy One Get One 40% off sale, so I literally *had* to buy a second one :evilgrin: And wow does TRU mark up the prices!! These were $14.99! Walmart an Target has paks for $8, but not THESE so they were worth it.
