There’s a party for every taste in Portugal. Almost every town has a saint day feast or a harvest festival, which can range from a stately procession to a multiday food and entertainment.
This is the most popular subject to photograph on the Isle of Skye and understandably so. The rock stacks making up the structure - the old man, the needle and the other features that escape me - are like something out of Lord of the Rings. You wouldn’t be all that surprised to see a dragon flying overhead with all that gothic looking geology going on around you.
The day I was there was wet, cold and very windy making it difficult conditions to catch any shots never mind taking the time to get some HDR exposures. I had timed the trip to be there for sundown but the clouds were so thick and low that there no chance of getting any nice colour. So here we have a colour image of the stormy weather conditions on the Storr mountain ridge. Maybe I’ll get better luck on the weather next time.
.. at the moment :)
Have a wonderful weekend, girls and boys !!
Thank you for all your visits, comments, favs and your friendship !!

Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares - Sevilla
El Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de la ciudad de Sevilla (Andalucía, España) está localizado en la plaza de América del parque de María Luisa. Al otro lado de la plaza se encuentra el Museo Arqueológico. Fue el pabellón de Arte Antiguo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Fue planteado como pabellón de Industrias, Manufacturas y Artes Decorativas. Finalmente, se le llamó pabellón de Arte Antiguo e Industrias Artísticas. Se trata de un edificio proyectado en 1913 y construido en 1914 por el arquitecto Aníbal González, autor también de los otros edificios levantados en la misma plaza de América. Es de ladrillo visto con motivos decorativos de cerámica. Por su estilo arquitectónico, fue conocido como el pabellón Mudéjar.
En principio constaba de dos plantas sobre una cámara de aireación para evitar la humedad. Se realiza una mejora durante la década de 1960 en la planta principal, que tenía más de doce metros de altura, y se dividió con una planta artificial (corresponde a la planta primera) por el arquitecto Antonio Delgado y Roig. En 1972 se unen las plantas con una gran escalera de caracol que diseña el arquitecto José Galnares Sagastizábal, trabajo que realiza después de que la construcción fuese designada para albergar el museo por el Decreto de Creación del Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, con fecha de 23 de marzo de 1972, constituido como una sección del Museo de Bellas Artes.
Sus funciones como museo se desarrollan desde el 4 de marzo de 1973, fecha en que abre sus puertas al público.

Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville (Spanish: Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares) is a museum in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, located in the María Luisa Park, across the Plaza de América from the Provincial Archeological Museum.
The museum occupies the Mudéjar Pavilion (Pabellón Mudéjar) designed by Aníbal González and built in 1914. It served as an art pavilion, the Pabellón de Arte Antiguo, for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, when Aníbal González had the opportunity to design several additional permanent buildings for the plaza. The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).[citation needed]
The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity). In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig. In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.
The museum was established by a decree of 23 March 1972, initially as a section of the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville. It opened its doors to the public 4 March 1973.[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building. Neither institution took full responsibility. This situation led to a series of temporary closures. In 1976, the electric bill could not be paid, and the museum had to be shut until it could get power again. In 1979, heavy rains damaged the interior.

Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated in the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. It lies on the River Stour.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.
The Shotover River is located in the Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. The river is 75-kilometre (47 mi) long, fast flowing and with numerous rapids. The river is a popular tourist destination for rafting and jet-boat rides.
The Shotover River flows through Skippers Canyon which towers above. As for jet-boating, I did that the following day on the Haast River.
The Yonghe Temple Palace of Peace and Harmony, also known as the Yonghe Lamasery, or popularly as the Lama Temple, is a temple and monastery of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism located on 12 Yonghegong Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China. The building and artwork of the temple is a combination of Han Chinese and Tibetan styles. This building is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in China proper. The current abbot is Lama Hu Xuefeng. Building work on the Yonghe Temple started in 1694 during the Qing dynasty on the site where originally stood an official residence for court eunuchs of the Ming dynasty. After the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949, the temple was declared a national monument and closed for the following 32 years. It is said to have survived the Cultural Revolution due to the intervention of Premier Zhou Enlai. Reopened to the public in 1981, it is today both a functioning temple and highly popular tourist attraction in the city. 1681
Eilean Donan Castle is undoubtedly a Scottish icon and certainly one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Highlands. When you see it for the first time, it's easy to see why so many people flock to its sturdy gates year after year. Strategically located on its own little island, overlooking the Isle of Skye, at the meeting point of three great sea lakes, and surrounded by the majestic splendour of the wooded Kintail Mountains, Eilean Donan's setting is truly breathtaking.

In Starved Rock State Park. It was pretty amazing to find a park like this in Illinois. It’s very popular and is supposed to be crowded during peak times, but we didn’t see any other people until we started hiking back to our van. We’re always thankful that we’re early morning risers. It makes a huge difference when visiting popular places!
The title has been inspired by the U.K comedy duo, Little and Large from the 1970s and 80s. They were hugely popular around that time and as the name suggests comprised one who was a lot bigger and fatter, Eddie Large and the other who was smaller and thinner, Syd Little!

The birds seem to like this branch & use it as a stopping off point on their way to the feeding station !
Taken at RSPB Titchwell.
This well worn perch is very popular and I have seen a variety of birds take advantage of it over the years.
I think it may have originally been part of a hide - but the rest of it has long gone.
Here it is the turn of a juvenile male Common Kestrel. Shortly after I took this shot he dropped vertically after some critter scurrying about at the base.
Taken in Norfolk.
Lots of birds at the local restaurant today! I need to admit that the photo is a series of 5-6 shots (through a dirty kitchen window) and a few birds have been copied in ;)
This churchyard overlooks the river Thames. And it's a popular place for birds of all kinds. HFF

The Riverside, Phnom Penh
Pigeons at the Riverside are so tame, they will actually eat right out of your hand. The one above just flew in to say hi and to see if my camera was edible. 😁
In the photo above, you're actually looking across The Tonle Sap River, away from the city. A five minute walk from here, The Tonle Sap merges with The Mekong River. This area of Phnom Penh is known as The Riverside, home of The Royal Palace, The National Museum, Wat Ounalom and dozens of cafes, bars, restaurants and hotels.
There is a wide, paved pedestrian sidewalk running along the rivers, which makes it a popular hangout for foreigners and locals alike. Especially after sunset, when it cools off.

Another photo from my little Santorini series taken in 2014. I never liked that ugly dark spot in the middle, but I notice recent versions of this view don’t have that anymore, it has finally been filled up with pretty white houses.
The sparrows have been going crazy lately at the bird bath, which needs to be refilled regularly! But with the cool nights and autumn upon us, it will soon enough have to be shut down for the season.

En la ciudad de Sevilla, el Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, creado en 1972, es un museo dedicado al patrimonio etnológico andaluz, tanto material como inmaterial, en cuyas salas se exponen objetos y utensilios que documentan las costumbres, saberes y maneras de vivir propias de la cultura tradicional de la zona.
Está instalado en el Pabellón Mudéjar, un edificio diseñado por el arquitecto Aníbal González para la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Sus colecciones más importantes son las de cerámica, indumentaria y actividades artesanales de Andalucía. Asimismo destacan la colección Aguiar de pintura costumbrista, la colección Soria de lozas y marfiles orientales, la de cerámica de la colección Gestoso y, sobre todo, la colección Díaz Velázquez de encajes y bordados, una de las más importantes de Europa y que por sí misma podría constituir un museo monográfico independiente, con sus casi 6.000 piezas. Por otra parte, el Ayuntamiento de Sevilla tiene depositada en el museo su colección de originales de carteles de las fiestas primaverales de Sevilla. Entre las incorporaciones de la última década destacan la adquisición de la colección Loty, formada por más de 2.000 placas de cristal antiguas que recogen detalles de las ciudades y la vida andaluzas desde principios del siglo XX hasta 1936, dos colecciones de juguetes y una de más de 7.000 tarjetas postales.
La planta primera del museo se encuentra temporalmente cerrada por reformas. El nuevo proyecto no sólo se justifica por el envejecimiento natural de la instalación, de 1972, sino porque la concepción museológica ha quedado desfasada con el paso de los años y hoy se requieren nuevas instalaciones que aporten un mayor confort a las personas y una mayor seguridad a las piezas.
En la planta principal o baja del Museo, la sala central está dedicada a exposiciones temporales.
