Un autre coucher de soleil sur le massif du Vercors. On distingue ces belles vallées au Sud et à l'Est de Grenoble, Isère, France.
Wieder war ich mal gleich um die Ecke unterwegs und besuchte einer meiner Lieblingsbäumen. Die Sicht auf die Alpen war perfekt und die Chancen auf einen bunten Himmel standen nicht schlecht. Prima Zutaten, um ein gelungenes Feierabendbild (anstatt -Bier) zu schiessen 😬
Auf dem Autodach sitzend genoss ich den tollen Ausblick…
From the 14th floor of the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, this 360° image captures the heart of Oslo in a single sweeping view. Looking due south, the Oslo City Hall stands proudly in the center, flanked by the urban rhythm of the capital. To the far right, the Royal Palace peeks through the skyline, a quiet sentinel of Norwegian history. The city unfolds in layers—modern and historic, structured and organic—beneath a sky that mirrors the mood of the moment. This is Oslo from above: a city of contrasts, calm, and quiet grandeur.
💡 Fun fact
Oslo City Hall (Rådhuset), visible in the center of the image, is not only the seat of the city council but also the venue for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony every December 10th.
It is freezing cold...but it is the stillness of what I see that mesmerizes me.

This panoramic photo was taken on Trail 644 during the second half of our 11+ km hike from Ciampinoi to Selva di Val Gardena. The day began with a cable car ride from Selva to Ciampinoi, situated just below the Sassolungo, followed by a scenic walk and lunch at the Chalet Hotel Georges.
From there, the route continued along trail 643 and then 644, offering spectacular views of the Sella Group — one of the most impressive massifs in the Dolomites. The hike concluded with a long descent through the Plans de Frea and the forested slopes of Trail 654, leading back into Selva.
Harsh terrain, high peaks, and a real sense of scale — a rewarding end to a challenging day in the Dolomites.

It is famous for its history: a centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, it is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has been called "the Athens of the Middle Ages". A turbulent political history includes periods of rule by the powerful Medici family, and numerous religious and republican revolutions. From 1865 to 1871 the city was the capital of the recently established Kingdom of Italy. The Historic Centre of Florence was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. [Source: Wikipedia]

The Peace Monument also known as the Friendship Monument or the Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument at the Jvari Pass in Georgia is a striking structure erected in 1983 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Georgian-Russian Treaty of Georgievsk 1783. This treaty marked the beginning of a closer political and military alliance between the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti (in present-day Georgia) and the Russian Empire. Its purpose was to protect Georgia from invasions by hostile powers. The monument is built in the form of a semicircular stone structure and is located at a panoramic point along the Jvari Pass, a mountain pass on the Georgian Military Road. This area is located in the Caucasus Mountains and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The monument consists of colorful mosaics depicting scenes from Georgian history and culture, as well as the theme of peace and unity. Although the monument was intended as a symbol of friendship between Georgia and Russia, it has attracted controversy in later years due to the complex historical and political relations between the two countries, particularly after Georgia's independence in 1991 and subsequent conflicts. Today, it is seen more as a tourist attraction than a political symbol. The monument is a popular stop for travelers exploring the Georgian Military Road due to its impressive views and historical significance.
The journey from Stepantsminda back through the Jvari Pass on a clear, sunny day offers a completely different yet equally breathtaking experience. With the sky a brilliant blue and the sun illuminating the snow-capped peaks, the landscape reveals its full splendor. Leaving Stepantsminda, the majestic Mount Kazbek lingers in the rearview mirror, while the golden autumn hues blend harmoniously with the white summits of the Greater Caucasus. The winding Georgian Military Road stretches before us, flanked by deep valleys and rugged cliffs, each turn unveiling a new postcard-worthy view. Approaching the Jvari Pass, the air is crisp and refreshing, yet the sunshine casts a warm glow over the vast, open scenery. The Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument, usually shrouded in mist, now stands boldly against the vibrant backdrop of endless mountains. The panoramic view is nothing short of spectacular—deep gorges, glistening rivers, and untouched wilderness as far as the eye can see. Unlike the mysterious, mist-covered ascent, this return journey feels open, vast, and full of life. Every ridge and valley stands in sharp relief, offering a sense of freedom and awe that only the Caucasus can provide.
De reis van Stepantsminda terug door de Jvari-pas op een heldere, zonnige dag biedt een compleet andere, maar even adembenemende ervaring. Met een stralend blauwe lucht en de zon die de met sneeuw bedekte toppen verlicht, onthult het landschap zijn volle pracht. Bij het verlaten van Stepantsminda blijft de majestueuze berg Kazbek in de achteruitkijkspiegel hangen, terwijl de gouden herfsttinten harmonieus samensmelten met de witte toppen van de Grote Kaukasus. De kronkelende Georgische Militaire Weg strekt zich voor ons uit, geflankeerd door diepe valleien en ruige kliffen, waarbij elke bocht een nieuw ansichtkaartwaardig uitzicht onthult. Halverwege de pas doemt het Peace Monument op, ook bekend als het Friendship Monument of het Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument. Dit opvallende bouwwerk werd in 1983 opgericht ter herdenking van het 200-jarige jubileum, waarin het Georgië een nauwere alliantie sloot met het Russische Rijk. Destijds bedoeld als symbool van vriendschap, heeft het monument in latere jaren controverse opgeroepen door de complexe geopolitieke geschiedenis tussen de twee landen. Tegenwoordig wordt het vooral gewaardeerd als een toeristische trekpleister vanwege de adembenemende ligging. Bij het naderen van de Jvari-pas voelt de lucht fris en zuiver, terwijl de zon een warme gloed werpt over het uitgestrekte berglandschap. Waar het monument normaal gesproken in mist gehuld kan zijn, staat het nu fier tegen een decor van oneindige bergketens. Het panoramische uitzicht is ronduit spectaculair: diepe kloven, glinsterende rivieren en ongerepte wildernis zover het oog reikt.

It's just so happened that I had an excursion planned to the ski center of Falakro on that trully amazing winter day, when a very thick, very wide but no more than 10 meters tall cloud became one with the ground's surface !!! A trully unique natural phenomenon that I've never seen before to that extend in my entire life !!!
I'm not a particular fan of panoramic views, but since I was at the top of the mountain, I decided to take some shots in order to tie them together into wide landscapes, which I will subsequently show to you one by one. They turned out to be really amazing, presenting with admirable accuracy the wild, natural, mountainous landscape of my homeland Drama ....

Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) is a Zen temple formally known as Rokuonji (deers park).
Kinkaku-ji was built in 1393 as a retirement villa for Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga (1358 - 1409). He intended to cover the exterior with gold, but only managed to coat the ceiling of the third floor with gold leaf before his death. Read more here

Sameba Cathedral in Tbilisi is one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world and the main cathedral of the Georgian Orthodox Church. The cathedral is located on the hilltop of Elijah in the historic center of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, and dominates the city skyline with its impressive architecture. Completed in 2004, the cathedral combines elements of traditional Georgian architecture with Byzantine influences. The design incorporates classic Georgian elements such as cruciform structures and details found in older monasteries and churches in Georgia. The dome of the church, covered in gold, rises 87 meters above the ground, giving the cathedral an impressive height difference and making it visible from many parts of the city. The construction of the cathedral was intended to symbolize Georgian unity and revival after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The project began in the 1990s and was largely funded by donations from both the Georgian government and the Georgian people.
Sameba Cathedral is a popular destination for tourists and pilgrims, both for its religious significance and for its architectural splendor. The cathedral is a must-see for visitors to Tbilisi and a powerful symbol of Georgian culture and identity. In addition to the cathedral itself, the complex includes several annexes, including a bell tower, a seminary and several other ecclesiastical buildings. The gardens surrounding the cathedral are beautifully landscaped, and the grounds offer panoramic views of Tbilisi. The Sameba Cathedral is truly an icon in Tbilisi and offers a wonderful insight into Georgian religious and cultural heritage.
De Sameba-kathedraal in Tbilisi is een van de grootste orthodoxe kerken ter wereld en de belangrijkste kathedraal van de Georgisch-Orthodoxe Kerk. De kathedraal staat op de heuveltop van Elia in het historische centrum van Tbilisi, de hoofdstad van Georgië, en domineert de skyline van de stad met zijn indrukwekkende architectuur. De kathedraal, voltooid in 2004, combineert elementen van traditionele Georgische architectuur met Byzantijnse invloeden. Het ontwerp bevat klassieke Georgische elementen zoals kruisvormige structuren en details die je ook terugziet in oudere kloosters en kerken in Georgië. De koepel van de kerk, bedekt met goud, steekt 87 meter boven de grond uit, wat de kathedraal een indrukwekkend hoogteverschil geeft en zorgt dat deze vanuit veel delen van de stad zichtbaar is. De constructie van de kathedraal was bedoeld als symbool voor de Georgische eenheid en heropleving na het uiteenvallen van de Sovjet-Unie. Het project begon in de jaren 90 en werd voor een groot deel gefinancierd door donaties van zowel de Georgische regering als het Georgische volk. Binnenin heeft de kathedraal een rijk gedecoreerd interieur met fresco’s en iconen. Het altaar bevindt zich in het hoofdschip, maar er zijn ook verschillende kapellen gewijd aan heiligen en belangrijke figuren in de Georgisch-Orthodoxe traditie. Naast de kathedraal zelf omvat het complex verschillende bijgebouwen, waaronder een klokkentoren, een seminarie en verschillende andere kerkelijke gebouwen. De tuinen rondom de kathedraal zijn prachtig aangelegd, en het terrein biedt een panoramisch uitzicht over Tbilisi. De kathedraal is een must-see voor bezoekers aan Tbilisi en een krachtig symbool van Georgische cultuur en identiteit.

The Jvari Monastery (Georgian: ჯვარი, meaning cross) is one of the most iconic and historic sites in Georgia. Located near Mtskheta, the monastery is one of the most important religious and cultural sites in the country. Built in the 6th century, the monastery is known as one of the earliest examples of Georgian Christian architecture. It was built on the site where, according to tradition, Saint Nino, who brought Christianity to Georgia, erected a large wooden cross. Together with other historical monuments in Mtskheta, the Jvari Monastery has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1994. The monastery is located on a hilltop with a beautiful view of the confluence of the Aragvi and Mtkvari Kura rivers and the historic town of Mtskheta. The building is an example of a tetraconch central dome structure with four apses. Despite its simple design, it is considered a masterpiece of medieval architecture. The Jvari Pass begins at the monastery. The pass is located at an altitude of approximately 2,379 meters above sea level and offers spectacular views of the Caucasus. It is an important passage through the Caucasus Mountains to Russia. The area is particularly known for its rugged roads, and in winter the pass can be difficult to navigate due to heavy snowfall. The route offers breathtaking views of mountain peaks, valleys and rivers. The Georgian Military Road was originally used as a trade and military route. Today it is a busy road for freight transport to Russia.
The Jvari Monastery is located in Georgia, on a hilltop near the town of Mtskheta, about 20 kilometers north of the capital, Tbilisi. The ruins next to the Jvari Monastery are part of an old defensive structure and watchtower. The Jvari Monastery is located at a strategic point above Mtskheta, where the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers meet. In many cases, these ruins are remnants from the same or slightly later period, when they supplemented the religious sites with military protection against potential invaders. This location offers breathtaking panoramic views and holds deep historical and religious significance. Mtskheta, one of Georgia's oldest cities, was once the capital of the ancient kingdom of Iberia. The monastery is part of the UNESCO World Heritage List due to its cultural and architectural importance.
Het Jvari-klooster (Georgisch: ჯვარი, wat kruis betekent) is een van de meest iconische en historische locaties in Georgië. Het klooster, gelegen bij Mtskheta, is één van de belangrijkste religieuze en culturele bezienswaardigheden van het land. Het klooster werd gebouwd in de 6e eeuw en staat bekend als een van de vroegste voorbeelden van Georgische christelijke architectuur. Het werd gebouwd op de plek waar volgens de overlevering de heilige Nino, die het christendom naar Georgië bracht, een groot houten kruis oprichtte. Samen met andere historische monumenten in Mtskheta staat het Jvari-klooster sinds 1994 op de UNESCO Werelderfgoedlijst. De ruïne naast het Jvari-klooster is een deel van een oude verdedigingsstructuur en wachttoren. Het Jvari-klooster bevindt zich op een strategisch punt boven Mtskheta, waar de rivieren Aragvi en Mtkvari samenkomen. In veel gevallen zijn deze ruïnes overblijfselen uit dezelfde tijdsperiode of iets later, waarbij ze de religieuze locaties aanvulden met militaire bescherming tegen mogelijke indringers. Het klooster is een voorbeeld van een tetraconch centrale koepelstructuur met vier apsissen. Ondanks zijn eenvoudige ontwerp wordt het beschouwd als een meesterwerk van middeleeuwse architectuur. Bij het klooster begint de Jvari-pas. De pas ligt op ongeveer 2.379 meter boven zeeniveau en biedt spectaculaire uitzichten op de Kaukasus. Het is een belangrijke doorgang door het Kaukasusgebergte naar Rusland. Het gebied is met name bekend om zijn ruige wegen, en in de winter kan de pas moeilijk begaanbaar zijn vanwege zware sneeuwval. De route biedt adembenemende uitzichten op bergtoppen, valleien en rivieren. De Georgische Militaire Weg werd oorspronkelijk gebruikt als een handels- en militaire route. Tegenwoordig is het een drukke weg voor vrachtvervoer richting Rusland.
