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).

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.

Mallards (Mrs and Mr) 5918

“Out there somewhere there is a love who will never dream of calling you too much.

Who speaks, like you, in poetry and candlewax and stardust.

Who runs outside on stormy nights to howl at the moon.

Who collects bones and sings incantation and talks to the ancestors.

And that lover, when you find him or her,

will see you and know you,

just as you are and just as you should be.

And they will say yes. Yes, you.

I will go there with you.

I have been waiting for this.

―Jeanette LeBlanc

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':

Sunrise after the parties were over.

Can Tho Bridge is seen in the distance.

Taken from the same place as the previous photo.

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.

♫ The Overtones - Gambling Man ♫

 

I'm wrapped up in your sweet loving

But it feels just like a curse (Feels just like a curse)

You're beneath my skin, I start trembling

With this love so dangerous

(Place your bets)

I want you

(Place your bets)

Why don't you just place your bets on me?

 

My odds are stacked

I've never been a gambling man

I've never had the winning hand

But for you, I'd lose it all

My odds are stacked

I've never been a gambling man

I've never had the winning hand

But for you, I'd lose it all
