And... we have reached the Castle!
The Château de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne département of France. The castle is one of the best-preserved and best known in the region.
This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne.
At the left, somewhere between, is where I live.

gohere. Of course we cant go there, are remarkswe have sometimes overheard, without being ableto find a reason for the unwritten law. Many ladies were in the garden when we arrived,and how lovely in their delicate summer clothes !Where in the capitals of Europe would you findsuch pure comple.xions, such beauty of feature andof hair, such graceful figures, more perfect breedingcombined with winning manners, or more con-summate taste in dress ? The prevailing typewas neither brunette nor blonde, but somewherebetween the two. The men were extremely smart and dressed inthe latest cosmopolitan fashion. We were taken to call on a famous sculptor,whose studios in a small park are among severalgiven by the State to artists of distinction; andthen we started for the heart of the country. A year or two before we went to Hungary, whilestaying at a watering-place in South Tyrol, we, atdifferent times, made the acquaintance—whichripened later into friendship—of two people. One A HUNGARIAN BABY

FROM AUSTRIA TO ORSOVA 9 was a lady of high aristocratic birth, who shallbe known in these pages as the Grafin; theother, a dignitary of the Roman Catholic Church,shall be called, until he became a Bishop, thePrelate. Both were Hungarians ; both were surewe should find much to interest us and topaint in their country; and both invited us tovisit them. Our first visit was to the Grafin and her daughterin Budapest. We left there one fine hot morningin June in a crowded train, and an uneventfuljourney of about four hours, across the plainssouthwards, brought us to Kalocsa. The Prelate was at the station, and we drove intwo ramshackle open cabs for a mile or so, over apaved but very dusty road, to his fine old house hardby the Cathedral—a house of two stories, pale yellowochre in colour, with a great roof of brown-greytiles. In a niche over the doorway was a pictureof the Madonna, and above that the arms of thearchbishopric in stucco. The main doors were thrown open, and thesmiling sist

I got into photographic stride during this walk, first time in many, many months. A pity it was my second-last night in Japan.
I like Osaka. A lot. Tokyo is fun and all, but Osaka just seems a bit more relaxed, a bit dirtier, a bit friendlier. My kind of town.
Grazie mille for interest everyone!..Notice that all of you have commenting about how tall is the dune!!?! (yep! :)!) and so I decided to upload also this one. Maybe isnt so special but maybe helps you more to feel the high. Consider that here I arrive at the point where I was able to see the top of dune (almost arrived, so not the start) and look at how distance people are...yes is enormous! And also the longness of the place, you can see it in the second one; even if here where I was there isnt pinewood or straw fences to contain sand anymore and so dune where free to make curves, go down vertiginously, space everywhere...soooooooo happy to have discovered this place so special..!..:)..
my fave of the place, ok..tomorrow :P :)!
Have a nice day!

Grazie mille a tutti per l'interesse! Ho notato che tutti avete commentato su quanto fossero alte le dune!?!! (embè :)!), così ho deciso di inserire anche queste foto. Non sono così speciali ma magari vi aiutano a darvene un senso. Considerate che quì sono arrivata al punto di scorgerne la cima della duna (e quindi non all'inizio della scalata ma pressochè la fine) e guardate quanto sono distanti le persone!!..Si veramente enormi ! E anche la lunghezza di esse che potete vedere nella seconda foto; anche se dove ero io non c'era più ne pineta ne steccati di paglia per contenere le dune, libere di curvare, scendere vertiginosamente, spaziare ovunque... Così felice per aver trovato questo posto così speciale! :))..(altro che Licia Colò..grazie born :D!).
la mia foto preferita, ok domani! :P! :)!
Buona giornata a tutti !

somewhere on the road between hanoi and halong bay
the bus that took us to halong bay for the boat tour had a required tourist trap rest stop. they dropped us at a disabled artists building for 20 minutes to a. go to the bathroom and b. buy something. it ended up taking an hour because everybody wanted to buy something! so these guys, there was no way they were disabled (compared to everybody else making art inside the building) - i think they were just there to scam the tourists.
