L'illeta de St. Pierre és minúscula, però té una imatge de pel·lícula: quatre rocs i quatre palmeres envoltades per unes aigües color turquesa.
Se l'ha qualificat de "paradís de butxaca".
================
The tiny islet of St. Pierre is really small but famous: it's iconical of a "pocket paradise", with it's few palms and boulders surrounded by gorgeous turquoise waters...

My dad showed me this on a recent visit, a friend of his came across it and loaned it to him for a look, because he knew that when I was a wee lad we used to have a caravan down in Morecambe each summer (normally used by various parts of our extended family throughout the summer months, including us).
This is "Twenty Miles Around Morecambe Bay", a vintage travel booklet by "well-known writer and broadcaster" Sydney Moorhouse. You can see from the price on the front this is well before the British economy finally went to the decimal system (still the old pounds, shillings and pence system here). I found Steve on the Bear Alley blog actually had an entry on this chap - he was local and wrote a number of guide books, as well as newspaper and journal articles, radio broadcasts and more. The blog post is here bearalley.blogspot.com/2006/11/sydney-moorhouse.html
From Steve's article it looks like this was published in 1948. Dad and I both found it quite interesting looking back over this guide to an area we spent so many family holidays in, way back in the day (although not as way back as when this was published!)

BRACCIANO (ROMA-LAZIO)
1. Historia y Orígenes
Fundación: Las primeras fortificaciones en el sitio datan del siglo X, pero la estructura actual fue construida en el siglo XV (entre 1470 y 1485) por la familia noble Orsini.
Arquitectura: Fue diseñado por el arquitecto Francesco di Giorgio Martini. Su propósito dual era ser tanto una fortaleza militar (con gruesos muros, torreones y almenas) como una residencia principesca para una de las familias más poderosas de Roma.
2. Las Familias Propietarias
Los Orsini: La familia que lo construyó y vivió en él durante siglos.
Los Odescalchi: En el siglo XVII, el castillo fue adquirido por la familia Odescalchi. El castillo sigue siendo propiedad de esta familia, lo que ha contribuido a su excelente estado de conservación a lo largo del tiempo.
3. Características Clave
La Torre Circular (Torreón): La característica más dominante en tu foto es la gran torre circular (Torreón) con almenas güelfas (cuadradas), típica de las fortificaciones de esa época.
El Entorno: El castillo domina la ciudad de Bracciano y el pintoresco Lago de Bracciano, lo que le proporciona una posición defensiva estratégica y vistas espectaculares.
4. Uso Actual
El Castello Orsini-Odescalchi está abierto al público como un museo que alberga colecciones de arte, frescos y muebles antiguos.
También es mundialmente famoso por ser un lugar popular para celebrar bodas y eventos de lujo, especialmente después de que celebridades lo eligieran como escenario para sus ceremonias.
La Escena en tu Foto...
Primer plano: Las casas más modestas, de color ocre y con persianas de madera, que forman la estructura del pueblo medieval adyacente.
Fondo: La imponente y masiva muralla de piedra del castillo, que se eleva sobre el pueblo, mostrando su poder y solidez.

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an orthodox church in the Tallinn Old Town, Estonia. It was built to a design by Mikhail Preobrazhensky in a typical Russian Revival style between 1894 and 1900, during the period when the country was part of the Russian Empire. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is Tallinn's largest and grandest orthodox cupola cathedral. It is dedicated to Saint Alexander Nevsky who in 1242 won the Battle of the Ice on Lake Peipus, in the territorial waters of present-day Estonia. The current Russian patriarch, Alexis II, started his priestly ministry in the church.

We took the White Line.
Length: 2.9 km, travel time: 13.1 min, stations: 4, opened: March 2018
Then, the Green Line:
Length: 3.7 km, travel time: 16.6 min, stations: 4, opened: December 2014
A system of urban transit aerial cable cars called Mi Teleférico ('My Cable Car') was opened in 2014. Currently eight lines are in operation, and three more lines are in the planning stage. The initial three lines were built by the Austrian company Doppelmayr. The first two lines (Red and Yellow) connected La Paz with El Alto. All stations have both a Spanish name and an Aymara name.
