Narikala Fortress, one of the oldest and most striking landmarks in Tbilisi, dates back to the 4th century, originally built by the Persians as a defensive stronghold. Perched on a hill, the fortress was later expanded by Arabs and Mongols, and has withstood the test of time. Walking through the ancient ruins, you can sense the centuries of history and the stories embedded in its stones. The view from the top of Narikala is breathtaking, offering a panoramic vista over Tbilisi. From this vantage point, you can see the winding Kura River, the iconic Metekhi Church perched on a cliff, and the towering Sameba Cathedral, one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. The old city below, with its charming wooden balconies and narrow streets, adds to the beauty of this historic cityscape.

At the base of the fortress lies the National Botanical Garden of Georgia, a peaceful green oasis where visitors can unwind amidst exotic plant species, serene pathways, and flowing streams. With its waterfalls and lush vegetation, the botanical garden offers a beautiful contrast to the ancient fortress above, providing a tranquil retreat that harmoniously blends nature with the city’s historical landscape.

The National Botanical Garden of Georgia, located in Tbilisi, is a beautiful oasis covering 161 hectares at the base of the Narikala Fortress. Once serving as the royal garden for Georgian kings, it now hosts an impressive collection of over 4,500 plant species from around the world. The garden offers scenic walking paths, tranquil streams, and a striking waterfall that enhances its serene atmosphere. Established in the 19th century, the garden provides visitors with a peaceful escape from the bustling city and is a popular spot for nature lovers and hikers. In addition to its rich flora, the garden regularly hosts educational and scientific events, making it a hub for biodiversity and conservation. Its location at the edge of the old town not only offers a retreat for relaxation but also stunning views of Tbilisi and the surrounding landscape.

Narikala-fort, een van de oudste en meest indrukwekkende monumenten van Tbilisi, heeft een rijke geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de 4e eeuw, toen het door de Perzen werd opgericht als verdedigingsbolwerk. Het fort, strategisch gelegen op een heuvel, werd later versterkt door de Arabieren en Mongolen en heeft sindsdien de tand des tijds doorstaan. Terwijl je door de ruïnes wandelt, voel je de eeuwenoude geschiedenis en de verhalen die in de stenen verborgen liggen. Het uitzicht vanaf de top van Narikala is adembenemend en biedt een schilderachtig panorama over Tbilisi. Van hieruit zie je de kronkelende Kura-rivier, het iconische Metekhi-kerkje op een klif, en de grote Sameba-kathedraal, een van de grootste orthodoxe kerken ter wereld, die het stadsbeeld domineert. Je kunt ook de oude stad bewonderen met haar karakteristieke huizen met houten balkons en smalle straatjes vol geschiedenis. Aan de voet van Narikala ligt de Nationale Botanische Tuin van Georgië, een serene, groene oase waar bezoekers kunnen ontspannen te midden van exotische plantensoorten, rustige paden, en stromende beekjes. De botanische tuin, met zijn watervallen en dichte vegetatie, biedt een prachtig contrast met het historische fort dat erboven uitrijst. Het is de perfecte plek voor een rustige wandeling, waarbij de natuur zich harmonieus vermengt met het historische landschap van de stad.

Alone, shaped by wind, aged by silence - yet standing still.

Looking west from Pritchard Road outside of Maple Park, Illinois.

The trains were busy. As I was getting to this location, 2 eastbounds went trough and when I pulled up to get set up I figured I would only get a sunset shot. Been there done that but I wanted the shot anyway. A train would be nice but I wasn't going to count on that at this point. But, when I walked onto the tracks and checked, I could see the distant train which eventually became the train in my shot above.

I just kept snapping as it approached and lo and behold the sun aligned and the train got close enough to be prominent in the scene and it all came together perfectly! I got the shot :-)

The next shot is the landscape crop of the one above.

It was a very short freight train, about 10 cars, so after it passed through I checked again and could see yet another eastbound in the distance. You can see the headlights in the bottom 2 shots and the sun setting quickly to the right.

Golden light falls across towering sandstone cliffs as visitors gather on the dramatic rim of this vast desert canyon. A peaceful moment at day’s end, where earth and sky meet in silent, breathtaking grandeur.

Sunset from Böhm's Zederberg Country House

Quando o sol se põe no horizonte, destacam-se as silhuetas de algumas pessoas na praia da Foz, no Porto. Elas aproveitam os últimos raios de luz para caminhar, brincar ou simplesmente contemplar a beleza do cenário. O céu tinge-se de cores quentes. É um momento de paz e harmonia, que encerra mais um dia na cidade invicta.

As the sun sets over the horizon, the silhouettes of people on Foz beach in Porto stand out. They take advantage of the last rays of light to walk, play or simply contemplate the beauty of the scenery. The sky is tinged with warm colors. It's a moment of peace and harmony that brings another day in the undefeated city to a close.

Waiting for sunset to go down.
