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.
This picture is part of my Exhibition that I have been so honored to set up at the Grove’s Amphitheater. Feel free to visit, it is such a beautiful place.

Devant les portes du palais, la grand place était le lieu des parades, des exercices militaires et des exécutions.

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.

This was not a planned shot. I saw him flying by, and just panned and took a few shots. This was the best. My settings were not optimal for this sort of capture, but all things considered, I liked it!
and for those inclined.. Sweet Honey in the Rock: 'breaths':

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.

I spent an enjoyable evening in Leeds with a great group of people from a facebook photography group I'm a member of. We stayed around the area next to the canal side behind Bridgwater Place and took some photos. Here are some of mine.
I wish I'd known you could go up to the Skylounge in the Hilton building next to us; one of the things I really want to do is take a shot of Leeds (or any city) from a high vantage point, especially after dark!

Cuando logras situarte,
después de una ascensión,
en lugares como éste
no te queda otra opción.
Siéntate a descansar,
y mientras esto haces
disfruta y mira el lugar
que cada rincón tiene
ese placer que los ojos
van grabando y guardando
para luego recordar.
Llena tus ojos de verde,
que alivia tu bienestar,
y ponle cielo y roca
para bien acompañar.
¡No te levantes, descansa,
que hay mucho que mirar!

Living in this big blue world (blue world)
With my head up in outer space (outer space)
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K (A-O-K)
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K (mm, mm)
When I see trouble come my way (my way)
I be makin' lemonade (lemonade)
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K (mm, mm)
Na-na-na-na-na-na (A-O, A-O-K)
Na-na-na-na-na-na (A-O, A-O-K)
I'd be lyin' if I said I knew the way (yo. I'd be lyin')
I just eat shit and pretend that it's gourmet (ooh, lala)
I've had terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad days
But I'm a G, can't you see that I will always be all A-O-K
