A very thriving Attenborough Nature Reserve (set in the borough of Broxtowe, Nottingham, United Kingdom). Owned by the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust it's a popular venue for birdwatchers, families and photographers alike.
This bevy of swans showed no fear of humans and they were eager to entertain and be entertained. I love the 'S' of the swan’s neck and how his profile frames the left side of the shot and that the other two prominent swans plus the sunburst and lens-flare all direct the eye to him. Though it was a cold late afternoon the warmth of the sun on one’s skin was equal to the warmth that it gives this image.

Architecture in popular tourist resorts could seem dull, while at second look light, pattern or detail can be fascinating.

Happy Sliders Sunday!!!
In the courtyard of the castle of Chasselas, we can better appreciate the architectural interest of the whole, as shown by the two towers which throne on one side of the building in the photo.
There was a cellar, and I tasted with a very pleasant women. She taught me that we were still in Burgundy, not yet in Beaujolais, and that they produce mostly Saint-Véran wine there.
It also seems that during the french Revolution, the villagers almost burned down the castle. They did not do it in the end, because they were afraid for their houses.
The two Saint-Véran wines that I tasted were famous, so I took a box of them. The shop had also many red wines: all the big names in Beaujolais wines (Fleury, Saint-Amour, etc.), but also great red wines from Burgundy (Pommard, Gevrey Chambertin, Alex Corton, etc.) which are usually only found in the Beaune region and in its surrounding cellars, or otherwise at prohibitive prices at wine merchants. It's rare to find so many quality choice in a cellar. they were in general at reasonable prices given the quality of the wines.
As I had to buy some wine to age it, I left with two other boxes of wine, one of Beaujolais wines, and one for the Burgundy Grands Crus . I have a good wine cellar at home, I plan to drink the great Burgundy wines in about ten years, I still have other great wines in reserve until then.
During the month of May, they are having an special day at the castle, I think I will go there again, and why not visit the cellars of the castle at that time, it is done only by appointment.

Dans la cour du château de Chasselas, on peut mieux apprécier l'intérêt architectural de l'ensemble, comme le montrent les deux tours qui trônent d'un côté de l'édifice sur la photo.
Il y avait un caveau, et j'ai dégusté avec une dame très aimable. Elle m'a appris qu'on était encore en Bourgogne, pas encore dans le Beaujolais, et qu'on produit surtout du Saint-Véran sur place. Il paraît aussi qu'à la révolution, les villageois ont failli brûler le château. Ils ne l'ont pas fait pour finir, car ils ont eu peur pour leurs maisons.
Les deux Saint-Véran que j'ai goûtés étaient fameux, j'en ai donc pris une caisse. La boutique était aussi très fournie en vins rouges : tous les grands noms du Beaujolais (Fleury, Saint-Amour, etc..), mais aussi des grands crus rouges de Bourgogne (Pommard, Gevrey Chambertin, Alex Corton, etc...) qu'on ne trouve habituellement que dans la région de Beaune ou dans les caves aux alentours de Beaune, ou sinon à des prix prohibitifs chez des marchands de vins. C'est rare qu'on trouve autant de choix de qualité dans un caveau. Le tout était en général à des prix raisonnables vu la qualité des vins.
Comme je devais racheter du vin pour le faire vieillir, je suis parti avec deux autres caisses, une de Beaujolais, et une pour les grands crus de Bourgogne. J'ai à la maison une bonne cave à vins, je compte boire les grands Bourgogne dans une dizaine d'années, j'ai encore d'autres grands vins en réserve d'ici là .
Courant mai, ils font une journée spéciale au château, je pense que j'irai y refaire un tour, et pourquoi pas à ce moment-là visiter les caves du château, cela se fait uniquement sur rendez-vous.

Lachung is a town and hill station in northeast Sikkim, India. It is located in the North Sikkim district near the border with Tibet. Lachung is at an elevation of about 9,600 feet (2,900 m) and at the confluence of the Lachen and Lachung Rivers, both tributaries of the River Teesta. The word Lachung means "small pass". The town is approximately 125 kilometres (78 mi) from the capital Gangtok.
The Indian Army has a forward base in the town. Before the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1950, Lachung was a trading post between Sikkim and Tibet, after which it was closed down. The town's economy has been boosted by tourism in recent years as the region has been opened up by the Indian government. Tourists come from all over the world to visit the town between October and May, mostly on their way to the Yumthang Valley and the Lachung Monastery. Most of Lachung's inhabitants are of Lepcha and Tibetan descent. Languages spoken here are Nepali, Lepcha and Bhutia. During winter the town is usually covered in snow. Lachung is also the base camp for Rhododendron Valley Trek which starts from Yumthang Valley and ends at Lachen Valley.
Lachung has been described as the "most picturesque village of Sikkim" by British explorer Joseph Dalton Hooker in his definitive, The Himalayan Journal (1855). Skiing is conducted in Phuni near this town.

Laccadives has not really achieved commercial levels in its tourism. One has to be thankful for the policies of the Indian government which prevents consumption of alcohol and presence of too many tourists, lack of fresh water and such. Not necessarily by design but it just happens to work like that.
In the developing world, wherever there are deep waters, obliging children act as divers and showmen to show off their prowess and eagerness and make some money. Laccadives was no different as the kids were having a blast hitting the cool emerald green waters at Agatti from a fishing vessel moored near the jetty.
Unlike other destinations, there was no obligatory solicitation by the participants, just pure fun.

State Rail of Thailand has been investing in train tourism in a big way. On the left is a refurbished KiHa-183 train built in the 1980s for Japan Rail Hokkaido. Seventeen of these were donated to SRT by JR Hokkaido in 2021 (SRT only had to cover shipping cost) and now offer tourist day trips out of Hua Lamphong in Bangkok (thaitrainguide.com).
Next to it is the Royal Blossom, now a luxury tourist train that undertook its first Thai journey in 2024. It comprises refurbished Hamanasu Express cars purchased by SRT from JR Hokkaido in 2017 (thaitrainguide.com).
