We are on our way to Udabno. In the distance, we can already see the village, nestled among the colorful hills and bathed in the warm light of the setting sun. In the valley below, countless cows are grazing peacefully in the evening quiet. Udabno is located in the east of Georgia — a world of vast emptiness and rolling hills, near the border with Azerbaijan, and forms a fascinating contrast to the green, mountainous parts of the country. Here, an impressive semi-desert landscape unfolds, with colorful hills, dusty trails, and endless horizons. The earth shines in shades of yellow, red, and brown, especially when the sun hangs low in the sky, and the silence is almost tangible. Not far from the village of Udabno lies a small lake, better known as the swimming lake — a hidden gem in this rugged environment. This peaceful, natural lake is surrounded by gently rolling semi-desert hills and vast open plains.
Because it is a natural lake, its water level changes with the seasons. Thanks to its remote location, the lake feels incredibly serene — you’ll likely have the entire landscape to yourself. The calm water mirrors the endless sky, and the surroundings are perfect for peaceful walks, picnics, or simply soaking in the silence. Occasionally, shepherds pass by with their flocks, adding to the timeless, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Especially in the early morning or during sunset, when the light turns golden and the hills glow in warm tones, the little lake feels truly magical.
Driving towards Udabno, we watched the village appear between colorful hills, glowing under the setting sun. In the valley, cows grazed peacefully in the evening light. Udabno lies in eastern Georgia, where endless semi-desert hills stretch toward the horizon, forming a striking contrast to the country’s lush mountains. Nearby, a small natural lake — often called the swimming lake — rests quietly among the rolling hills. Its water level shifts with the seasons, and the peaceful surroundings invite slow walks, quiet moments, and sunset views. Occasionally, shepherds and their flocks pass by, adding a timeless charm to this remote and magical place.
We zijn onderweg naar Udabno. In de verte zien we het dorp al liggen, verscholen tussen de kleurrijke heuvels en badend in het warme licht van de ondergaande zon. In het dal grazen talloze koeien, rustig in de avondstilte. Udabno ligt in het oosten van Georgië — een wereld van uitgestrekte leegte en golvende heuvels, vlak bij de grens met Azerbeidzjan, en vormt een fascinerend contrast met de groene, bergachtige delen van het land. Hier ontvouwt zich een indrukwekkend halfwoestijnachtig landschap met kleurrijke heuvels, stoffige paden en eindeloze horizonten. De aarde kleurt in tinten geel, rood en bruin, vooral wanneer de zon laag aan de hemel staat, en de stilte is bijna tastbaar. Niet ver van het dorp Udabno ligt een klein meertje, beter bekend als het zwemmeertje — een verborgen pareltje in deze ruige omgeving. Dit vredige, natuurlijke meer wordt omringd door glooiende halfwoestijnheuvels en uitgestrekte vlaktes. Omdat het een natuurlijk meer is, verandert het waterniveau afhankelijk van het seizoen. Door de afgelegen ligging voelt het meertje ongelooflijk sereen aan; vaak heb je het hele landschap voor jezelf. Het kalme water weerspiegelt de eindeloze hemel, en de omgeving is perfect voor rustige wandelingen, picknicks of simpelweg genieten van de stilte. Af en toe trekken herders met hun kuddes voorbij, wat bijdraagt aan de tijdloze, bijna dromerige sfeer. Vooral in de vroege ochtend of tijdens zonsondergang, wanneer het licht goudkleurig wordt en de heuvels oplichten in warme tinten, voelt het meertje werkelijk magisch aan.
On Explore, June 13 - Thank you everyone :-)
I was snapping away at this sunset when I heard these geese coming from the direction of the tree line, so I just kept my focus and when they appeared in the frame, I got them. How cool is that? My first thought was these four were on a double date....lol.
I found this new spot at the forest preserve tonight. They chopped all the tall weeds which enabled me to easily get to the shoreline of this rarely visited section of the park. Its the perfect location to catch sunsets. I was so happy the weeds were gone. I can only imagine what kind of critters and creepy crawly things lived in the tall weeds. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I hate bugs....lol. Especially spiders. *big sigh*
Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Today started off very rainy so I started off the day by going out shopping. Didnt spend too much money....lol. By mid afternoon, the clouds broke up and allowed the sun to set beautifully. What a way to end the day.
I'm still dealing with the learning curve of manual settings. What I dont get is figuring out the right combination of ISO, shutter speed, and f-stop to get the right exposure. Im spending a lot of time flipping around to different settings. Is that just how its gonna be during this learning phase? Or am I making this harder than it is?
Im ok with the results of this image but someone else might look at this and think differently. Please share your thoughts. I appreciate any and all comments, good or bad.
Thanks :-)
Viewed while walking in our local park on February 12, 2018. I was reminded of John Denver's beautiful song when I saw how the sun's evening rays hit the mountains full of snow behind us on the North Shore .

Tbilisi is the capital and largest city of Georgia, located in the east of the country on the banks of the Kura River. The city has a rich history dating back over 1,500 years and has been influenced by many cultures and civilizations over the centuries. Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century by the Georgian King Vakhtang I Gorgasali. According to legend, the king discovered the hot sulphur springs during a hunting trip and decided to build a city on that site. Over the centuries, Tbilisi has been influenced by various empires, including the Persians, Arabs, Mongols, Ottomans and Russians, resulting in a rich and diverse cultural mix. The old city center is a maze of narrow streets lined with traditional houses, balconies and churches, and is also home to the famous sulphur baths. Mtatsminda Park, located on top of Mtatsminda Mountain in Tbilisi, is a popular recreational area with a magnificent view of the capital of Georgia. The park is located at an altitude of approximately 770 meters and offers visitors a panoramic view of the city, the Mtkvari River and the surrounding hills. In addition to the breathtaking view, the park itself is filled with attractions, such as a Ferris wheel, playgrounds and several cafes. The Ferris wheel is a particular highlight; from the top you get a beautiful overview of the whole of Tbilisi, especially during sunset when the city lights up. The view from Mtatsminda Park also offers a unique perspective of iconic landmarks such as the Narikala Fortress, the narrow streets of the old town that stretch into the distance like a living painting and the Sameba Cathedral. Also known as the Holy Trinity Cathedral, this is the largest church in Georgia and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. Situated on Elijah Hill, the cathedral dominates the landscape of Tbilisi. Construction began in 1995 and was completed in 2004, as a symbol of Georgian religious revival after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The cathedral, with its golden dome, incorporates both traditional and modern elements in its architecture, and serves as the spiritual center of the Georgian Orthodox Church.
Mtatsminda Park, located atop Mtatsminda Mountain in Tbilisi, is a popular recreational spot with a magnificent view of the capital of Georgia. The park is located at an altitude of approximately 770 meters and offers visitors a breathtaking panorama of the city, Sameba Cathedral, and the surrounding hills. Kanitha stands at the lookout point and looks through the panoramic telescope at the city below. The image of the iconic Sameba Cathedral comes into sharp focus, rising majestically among the streets of Tbilisi, surrounded by the rolling hills that embrace the city.
Tbilisi is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Georgië, gelegen in het oosten van het land aan de oevers van de rivier de Koera. De stad heeft een rijke geschiedenis die meer dan 1.500 jaar teruggaat en heeft door de eeuwen heen vele invloeden ondergaan van diverse culturen en beschavingen. Tbilisi werd gesticht in de 5e eeuw door de Georgische koning Vakhtang I Gorgasali. Volgens de legende ontdekte de koning de warme zwavelbronnen tijdens een jachtpartij en besloot hij op die plek een stad te bouwen. Door de eeuwen heen is Tbilisi beïnvloed door verschillende rijken, waaronder de Perzen, Arabieren, Mongolen, Ottomanen en Russen, wat heeft geleid tot een rijke en diverse culturele mix. Het oude stadscentrum is een doolhof van smalle straatjes met traditionele huizen, balkons en kerken, en herbergt ook de beroemde zwavelbaden. Mtatsminda Park, gelegen bovenop de Mtatsminda-berg in Tbilisi, is een populaire recreatieplek met een schitterend uitzicht over de hoofdstad van Georgië. Het park ligt op ongeveer 770 meter hoogte en biedt bezoekers een panoramisch uitzicht over de stad, de Mtkvari-rivier en de omliggende heuvels. Naast het adembenemende uitzicht is het park zelf vol met attracties, zoals een reuzenrad, speeltuinen en verschillende cafés. Het reuzenrad is een bijzonder hoogtepunt; vanaf de top krijg je een prachtig overzicht van heel Tbilisi, vooral tijdens de zonsondergang wanneer de stad oplicht. Het uitzicht vanaf Mtatsminda Park biedt ook een uniek perspectief op iconische bezienswaardigheden zoals de Narikala-fort, de smalle straten van de oude stad, die in de verte als een levend schilderij liggen uitgespreid en de Sameba-kathedraal. Deze Kathedraal ook wel bekend als de Heilige Drievuldigheidskathedraal, is de grootste kerk in Georgië en een van de grootste orthodoxe kerken ter wereld. Gelegen op de Elia-heuvel, domineert de kathedraal het landschap van Tbilisi. De bouw begon in 1995 en werd voltooid in 2004, als symbool van de Georgische religieuze heropleving na het uiteenvallen van de Sovjet-Unie. De kathedraal, met zijn goudkleurige koepel, bevat zowel traditionele als moderne elementen in de architectuur, en fungeert als het spirituele centrum van de Georgisch-Orthodoxe kerk.

This is the Fox River just north of Oswego, Illinois. It was a race against time to find a good vantage point to catch this. I found this little park and pulled over. Didnt even care how I parked the car. Jumped out and captured this. What a beauty of a sunset we had and I am so glad I was right here, at this exact moment to catch this.
If you are working tomorrow, dont work too hard. If you have the day off, enjoy! If you are traveling, be safe and hurry home.
Have a great week everyone :-)

For Fenced Friday! When I was first planning my trip to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison I wasn't sure I would be able to tolerate walking out to all of the overlooks as I am somewhat fearful of heights. But it turned out that my fears were unfounded and I had no issues. I am posting this photo to give others a glimpse of what it is like in case they are somewhat worried. Such a gorgeous view from this spot. I can't wait to return.
A very "heavy" over Hatton Cross as the sun sets.
Not the typical Aer Lingus A320 on finals into Heathrow, Aer Lingus have been using their transatlantic A330 fleet on some evening trips between Dublin & Heathrow, namely their EI182/183 & later EI178/179 since the pandemic with all the extra air freight stuffed in the belly.
EI-GAJ " St Carthage / Mochuta ", an A330-330 usually found further afield in the likes of San Fransicso & Los Angelas on finals for 27L at Heathrow passes over Hatton Cross tube & bus station, just shy of the airport perimeter fence on Shamrock 182 from Dublin.
