La Sierra de San Donato (Beriain) es un macizo y estribación montañosa de la Comunidad Foral de Navarra, situada en la parte norte de la Sierra de Andía, cerca de las localidades de Huarte-Araquil.
Su nombre se debe a la ermita dedicada a dicho santo y a San Cayetano que hay en su cumbre más importante, la de Beriáin (1493 m).
San Sebastián es una ciudad turística situada en la montañosa región española del País Vasco. Es conocida por la playa de la Concha y la playa de Ondarreta, que destacan por su pintoresco paseo frente a la bahía y sus restaurantes de prestigio mundial dirigidos por chefs innovadores.
Todo ello, unido a eventos internacionales como el Festival Internacional de Cine de San Sebastián, el Festival de Jazz de San Sebastián, la Quincena Musical o el Festival de Cine de Terror, ha dado proyección exterior a la ciudad, a pesar de sus pequeñas dimensiones.

A gate in the ancient Roman Aurelian walls, named after the church San Giovanni in Laterano, just a stone's throw away. So the wall is ancient, it was built 271-275 A.D. and named after the emperor Aurelian (Aurelianus). The gate is not the original from that time, the gate for this part of the wall is the Porta Asinaria that is right next to this one. But with all the traffic to the church the pope decided to have a new gate built in the 1570s, and the result is this one - inaugurated in 1574 (probably more practical but very much less imposing than the Asinaria one which is situated just beside it - and looks like this www.flickr.com/photos/dameboudicca/50779414817/
A view of the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. I used to drive across this bridge daily. Fortunately, on October 17, 1989, I was working in the East Bay, and actually came home from work early (to watch the baseball World Series between teams from Oakland and San Francisco). Shortly after 5 pm, a large earthquake struck, causing considerable damage, injury and loss of life. It was the strongest earthquake I ever experienced. A portion of the eastern section of the Bay Bridge collapsed that day, along with a double decker freeway (known as the Cypress Structure) in Oakland (which I also regularly used). Just goes to show you how quickly life can change. Photos of the damage to the bridge and freeway can be seen in the article on Wikipedia. The collapse of the Cypress Structure accounted for more deaths than any other incident during the earthquake. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake.

My last Volcano of my series. Volcán San Cristóbal is the highest volcano in Nicaragua at 1,745 m (5,725 ft). Located near to the northwest corner of the country, it forms a majestic backdrop to the city of Chichigalpa, Chinandega. It is also among the most active volcanos in Nicaragua, erupting frequently (if gently).
San Cristóbal is part of a 5-member volcanic complex that bears the same name. Chonco lies 4 km to the west, and Moyotepe 4 km to the north east. Joined to the volcano's eastern flank is Volcán Casitas, which buried a village with a catastrophic landslide in 1998. The scars from said landslide are still visible today. Finally, La Pelona is located on the eastern end of the complex.[1]
I took this photo in Venice in October , it was an amazing exprience to view the landscape of Venice from the top of st mark tower. The San Giorgio Maggiore island is floating in the sea like a fairy tale castle
A weird perspective due to the panoramic mode of my smartphone from the interior of this fascinating place. Taken earlier today, almost a real time shot....a nice change from the usual mountains! :-))
