The Grand-Place of Tournai (Belgium)
does not always have this place open with its welcoming terraces. Between the first and 4th centuries, part of the square served as a cemetery and, during excavations undertaken during the development work at the end of the 20th century, the remains of a Carolingian chapel were found.
For centuries, it will be outside the first ramparts of the city whose historic heart was closer to the Scheldt. After the abandonment of the cemetery due to the expansion of the city, it is transformed into a market place. In 1187, when the King of France Philip Augustus gave the city a charter guaranteeing it communal freedoms, the Tournaisians chose the market to erect a Belfry. The Grand-Place became the centre of communal life that we still know today.
From its particularity of being triangular in shape, it is also so by the Flemish architecture of the houses that form a harmonious whole and makes it the most Flemish of the Walloon cities.
Devant les portes du palais, la grand place était le lieu des parades, des exercices militaires et des exécutions.
A l'arrière-plan, Kalta Minor, le "minaret court" et la médersa Mohammed Amin Khan (devenue aujourd'hui l'hôtel Khiva).
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. ~ Roald Dahl
I want to share one more photograph of the Eiffel Tower, which I took from this wonderful plaza on the other side of the Seine River. Trocadero is up on a hill and provides one of the best views of this infamous tourist attraction. On either side of the plaza are museums, which I used to frame this shot. And I actually took the photo from the top deck of the ‘Hop-On Hop-Off’ bus while it was stopped.
it should be autumn.. it's hot.
and then it's not.
a cool rush....
clouds brushing the hills
and suddenly
straight into the weather
this bird.

it is midday but the sun stays low, october is soon over.../En still landväg i norra Uppland, det är mitt på dagen, men solen håller sig låg, snart tar oktober slut.../ Lugares silenciosos, es mediodía pero el sol ya permanece siempre bajo, termina octubre... (DSC_6936-3)
I spotted this place as we were pulling out of the Marina in Port Aransas. It didn't look very rustic so I decided to rough it up some..;) Back to work tomorrow..:(
The beach was completely isolated with perfectly clear skies on my last night of camping. I'd been looking for conditions like this for the whole week, and it all came good at the very end. Needless to say I spent the whole night imaging! (and paid the price afterwards 😂)
Wilson's Promontory is geologically significant as it contains some of the oldest rocks in Victoria, dating back over 400 million years. The park's rocky coastline and granite formations offer a glimpse into the ancient geological history of the region. The rounded granite boulders found along Squeaky Beach are particularly famous and are the result of erosion over millions of years.

We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
This is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out and take me home
You're my, my, my, my
Lover
We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out and take me home (Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Lover
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my
Lover
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be over-dramatic and true to my
Lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat
Lover
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out and take me home (Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my
Lover

This is a photo from a few days ago on an early morning in Hasliberg. I went out to photograph the sunrise and came across this small frozen puddle with this stone in it. I really liked how the lins in the ice formd around it, almoust like magnetic field lines. I stopped and took some pictures. It a focus stacked image, as I was to close to get it all in one shot.
