El primer cop que vaig anar a Holanda, anant per l'autopista vaig veure el pal d'un veler que passava per sobre nostre, em va costar un moment entendre que passava, però després d'estar uns dies per allà veus que no és estrany. És un país ple de canals d'aigua per tot arreu, no sé que és primer si la carretera o el canal, però sigui com sigui, fan uns ponts per als canals d'aigua i la carretera per sota, és molt curiós de veure.
Tenia clar que quan tornés voldria mirar de fer alguna foto, i en aquest cas amb el dron ho tenia fàcil per poder mostrar-ho des d'un punt de vista interessant, a més just quan estava fent les fotos vaig tenir la sort que passés un vaixell.

Gosaikunda lake is a spiritual journey as well as a physical one, this eight days adventure will bring you to the banks of Gosaikunda lake, a holy sight for both Hinduism and Buddhism.
The buildings are absolutely amazing. The architecture is fantastic. This area is quite unique in Antwerp. Apparently the area used to belong to some filthy rich family or families, back in the 19th century, and the area has been named after them. The houses appear to be either huge homes or townhouses with gardens in the front. Some seem to be much bigger than others. Some appear to be almost like castles. Nevertheless this unique area is worth a visit, at least from an aesthetic and architectural viewpoint.
Location: They are located on the northern tip of Zakynthos Island, near Cape Skinari and the village of Volimes. Characteristics: They are a system of natural caves and rock arches, which got their name from the intense blue color of the water inside, caused by the reflection of sunlight. Accessibility: The caves are primarily accessible by boat, with trips organized from ports such as Agios Nikolaos or Zakynthos Town. Attractions: They are a popular place for swimming and snorkeling due to the crystal clear water and unique light effects.
Sumatra is one island I wish I can visit. Since it is not part of my business itinerary, I make do by partaking of the incredibly spicy and unique cuisine it is most famous for, the Masak Padang.
The best place to have Padang food in Bali is the small local unassuming eatery, the Minang Saiyo near the airport. It is also one place where you can see an authentic Minangkabau wedding banquet hall as well.
One striking feature of the wedding stage is a triangular ceiling overhang (upper left)of brocade and bright buntings showcasing the fabulous Minangkabau songket. By its walls are large drapes of (polyester) silk hangings featuring the unique embroidery using gold and silver threads and sequins. Also prominent is the 2-layer payung or umbrella (lower right)which rightfully honors the woman for after all this ethnic group of West Sumatra, while Islamic, remains strongly matriarchal.
Glorious food, cheap (!) prices, stunning setting, what more do you need?

Devil's Valley lies high in the Caucasus Mountains, near the Jvari Pass. The valley is known for its raw beauty: steep mountains, deep gorges, fast-flowing rivers, and ancient watchtowers. In the past, it was a strategically important area, but also dangerous and difficult to traverse. It earned the nickname “Valley of the Devils” because invaders would often get lost, be ambushed, or simply never return—partly due to the fierce defense by the local population. Few tourists venture here; it feels like a hidden world. Especially outside the summer season, the valley is hard to access. Hikers and off-road adventurers love this kind of terrain, but it’s far from a typical day trip. One of the natural highlights of the area is the Eretos Waterfall. Cascading down a rocky cliff into a narrow gorge, the waterfall is tucked away between forested slopes. The sound of the falling water echoes through the valley, adding to the mysterious atmosphere of the region. It’s a place where nature takes center stage: wild, untouched, and barely marked by human presence. Visiting the waterfall feels like a reward for those willing to explore this rugged landscape.
Devil's Valley lies high in the Caucasus Mountains. The region is dramatic and mountainous, with panoramic views and an untamed character. It lies along the famous Georgian Military Highway, an ancient route that connects Tbilisi with Russia via the Jvari Pass. The landscape displays a mesmerizing contrast between snow-capped peaks and the golden autumn slopes, a characteristic feature of the region in late autumn. The deep blue sky emphasize the grandeur of the Caucasus, making this a truly awe-inspiring sight. Kanitha enjoying a view on the valley, with the impressive Caucasus mountains in the background.
De Devil's Valley ligt in de bergen van de Kaukasus, aan de Jvari-pas. De vallei staat bekend om haar ruige schoonheid: steile bergen, diepe kloven, snelstromende rivieren en eeuwenoude wachttorens. Ooit was dit een strategisch belangrijk gebied, maar ook gevaarlijk en moeilijk begaanbaar. De vallei kreeg de bijnaam “Valley of the Devils”, omdat indringers er vaak verdwaalden, werden aangevallen of simpelweg nooit meer terugkeerden — deels vanwege de lokale bevolking die haar land fel verdedigde.
Toeristen komen hier zelden; het voelt als een verborgen wereld. Vooral buiten het zomerseizoen is de vallei lastig toegankelijk. Wandelaars en offroad-liefhebbers zijn dol op dit soort plekken, maar het is geen standaard dagtrip. Eén van de natuurlijke parels in deze regio is de Eretos-waterval. Deze waterval stort zich tussen de rotsen naar beneden in een smalle kloof, verscholen tussen de beboste hellingen. Het geluid van het vallende water echoot door de vallei en draagt bij aan de mysterieuze sfeer van het gebied. Het is een plek waar de natuur de hoofdrol speelt: wild, ongerept en nauwelijks aangetast door de mens. Een bezoek aan de waterval voelt als een beloning voor wie de moeite neemt om dit ruige landschap te verkennen. De regio is dramatisch en bergachtig, met panoramische uitzichten en een rauw, onaangetast karakter. Ze ligt langs de beroemde Georgian Military Highway, een eeuwenoude route die Tbilisi met Rusland verbindt via de Jvari-pas. Kanitha geniet van het uitzicht op de vallei, met de indrukwekkende Kaukasusbergen op de achtergrond.

Living abroad in Malacca Malaysia
Tips For Living Abroad - These days with costs skyrocketing, and inflation rising around the world international living seems less possible to some. However, that can be further from the truth.
Today your main cist will be getting to the region of your choice. Countries' covid rules determined whether they still had an economy once restrictions were lifted. Mexico is an example where things have stayed stable due to catering to people trying to escape covid rules. These days opportunity is there but you need to consider these ten questions below.
Living Abroad Questions to Consider
Length of Visit
How long will you be staying in your first country? While living abroad one needs to take certain things into consideration. First would how long do you want to stay in the first country you visit? This is key because depending on where your passport is from you could be granted a specific amount of days. Such as a 90 visa or a different amount of time.
For example, most countries allow a 30-day on spot visa to Americans on a US passport. Some places offer even longer periods of time. Is there a border country close by that you will be also visited? If so by going back and forth your stay could be extended quickly and for more time.
Type of Needed Visa
Living abroad can be very rewarding and these days there are even special visas for people who work remotely. Make sure to look these via's up, and see if you could qualify.
With tourist season getting underway - I thought I'd give fair warning to those about to travel over the Alaskan Highway. You will not escape mud, even if you have good weather all the way. Plan on muddy spots - rough road surfaces - and heavy equipment sharing the road with you. Last summer we encountered all of those conditions, as well as a forest fire that had recently crossed the road - with crews still on the scene mopping up. In the event of a road being washed out - make sure you have some food supplies along. You never know how long a wait you may have before you can resume your travels. If you have allowed yourself plenty of time for your trip - these little set backs should not bother you. Remember to "row with the flow" and you'll be just fine.
Happy trails to all.

In the heart of Skopje, the vibrant capital of North Macedonia, lies the centuries-old Old Bazaar – Stara Čaršija. This is one of the largest and oldest bazaars in the Balkans, where Ottoman mosques, old caravanserais, and small shops line the narrow cobblestone streets. Walking here feels like stepping back in time. While exploring, we needed some Macedonian cash. At first, I was a bit skeptical about exchanging money at a small office right in the bazaar: Döviz Bürosu – Exchange Office. It looked very modest, with a tiny counter and a handwritten sign. Behind the glass sat a boy of about twelve with a calculator. His English was surprisingly good – probably better than his father’s, who was working in the back. The exchange rate turned out to be excellent – much better than the banks – and there was no commission. We decided to exchange a small amount, and everything was spot on. The next day, we came back to change a larger amount. Thanks to the good rate, our cocktails that evening suddenly became much cheaper. An unexpected but charming experience that perfectly matched the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the bazaar.
While exploring Skopje’s Old Bazaar, we exchanged money at a tiny Döviz Bürosu that looked a bit sketchy at first. The young boy behind the counter spoke great English, the rate was excellent with no commission, and everything went smoothly – so well that we came back the next day to change more.
In het hart van Skopje, de bruisende hoofdstad van Noord-Macedonië, ligt de eeuwenoude Oude Bazaar – Stara Čaršija. Dit is een van de grootste en oudste bazaars van de Balkan, waar Ottomaanse moskeeën, oude karavanserais en kleine winkeltjes elkaar afwisselen. Smalle steegjes en geplaveide straatjes leiden je langs geurige kruidenwinkels, tapijten, koperwerk en kleurrijke marktkramen. Het voelt alsof de tijd hier een tandje trager gaat. Toen wij hier rondliepen, hadden we Macedonisch geld nodig. Ik was in het begin wat sceptisch om geld te wisselen bij een klein kantoortje midden op de bazaar: Döviz Bürosu – Exchange Office. Het zag er eenvoudig uit, met een piepklein loket en een handgeschreven bordje. Achter het glas zat een jongen van een jaar of twaalf met een rekenmachine. Zijn Engels was verrassend goed, beter nog dan dat van zijn vader die achterin het kantoortje bezig was. De koers bleek echter uitstekend – beter dan bij de banken – en er werd geen commissie gerekend. We besloten een klein bedrag te wisselen, en alles klopte perfect. De volgende dag zijn we teruggegaan om een groter bedrag te wisselen. Dankzij de goede koers werden de cocktails die avond ineens een stuk goedkoper. Een onverwachte maar charmante ervaring die helemaal past bij de warme en gastvrije sfeer van de bazaar.
The Bimmah Sinkhole, located near Qurayyat, Oman, is a natural limestone sinkhole about 90 kilometers from Muscat. Despite local legends claiming it was created by a falling star, it formed naturally through erosion. The sinkhole is around 50 meters wide and 30 meters deep, with turquoise water that is a mix of seawater and fresh water. While it's a popular spot for swimming, we decided not to swim in it. To us, it seemed like the water was mainly rainwater that wasn’t being refreshed, and with so many people already bathing in it, we felt it wasn’t in our best interest to join. The site is part of Hawiyat Najm Park, which provides parking and picnic areas, making it an easy day trip from Muscat - Qurayyat, Oman

The Mama Daviti Church, also known as the Saint David Church, is located at the foot of the Mtatsminda Hill in Tbilisi, Georgia. The church is named after St. David Garejeli, one of the Thirteen Assyrian Fathers who came to Georgia in the 6th century to spread Christianity. According to legend, St. David lived as a hermit on the Mtatsminda Hill and built a small chapel on the site where the church now stands. The Mama Daviti Church has undergone several renovations throughout the centuries. In addition to its religious significance, the church is also an important historical site as many famous Georgian figures are buried there. In fact, the Mtatsminda Pantheon of Writers and Public Figures is located around the church. This makes it a culturally and historically significant location in Georgia. The interior is a beautiful example of traditional Georgian church architecture, imbued with serene simplicity and deep spirituality. Although it appears simple from the outside, the interior is rich in religious symbolism and artwork. The walls of the church are decorated with frescoes and icons depicting biblical scenes and saints, such as St. David Garejeli, after whom the church is named. The altar is located in the sanctuary, behind an iconostasis—a decorated wall of icons that separates the church space from the altar. This iconostasis is often richly detailed with religious images and gold accents, emphasizing the sacredness of the space. Visitors can light candles by the icons as a symbol of their prayers. The soft lighting, combined with the natural light coming through the windows, creates a serene, almost mystical atmosphere. The interior exudes simplicity, yet at the same time a sense of sacredness and tranquility, making it a spiritual place for locals and visitors alike.
This photo depicts a traditional Eastern Orthodox icon of the Virgin Mary (Theotokos) holding the infant Jesus Christ. The artwork is highly detailed, typical of Byzantine-style icons, where both figures are surrounded by a golden background, symbolizing holiness and divinity. The lamp in front of the icon is a hanging oil lamp, often seen in Orthodox churches. The burning flame represents the presence of the Holy Spirit and prayers offered by the faithful. The soft glow of the candlelight adds a serene and sacred atmosphere to the image, enhancing the spiritual significance of the scene. This type of icon is central to Orthodox Christian worship and is revered by believers, who may light candles and offer prayers in front of it, seeking intercession from the Virgin Mary and blessings from Christ.
De Mama Daviti Kerk , ook wel bekend als de Heilige David Kerk, bevindt zich bij de voet van de Mtatsminda-heuvel in Tbilisi, Georgië. De kerk is genoemd naar St. David Garejeli, een van de dertien Assyrische vaders die in de 6e eeuw naar Georgië kwamen om het christendom te verspreiden. Volgens de legende leefde St. David als een kluizenaar op de Mtatsminda-heuvel en bouwde hij een kleine kapel op de plek waar nu de kerk staat. De Mama Daviti Kerk heeft door de eeuwen heen verschillende renovaties ondergaan. Het interieur is een prachtig voorbeeld van traditionele Georgische kerkarchitectuur, doordrenkt met serene eenvoud en diepe spiritualiteit. Hoewel het van buiten eenvoudig oogt, is het binnen rijk aan religieuze symboliek en kunstwerken. De muren van de kerk zijn versierd met fresco’s en iconen die Bijbelse taferelen en heiligen uitbeelden, zoals St. David Garejeli, naar wie de kerk is vernoemd. Deze foto toont een traditioneel Oosters-orthodox icoon van de Maagd Maria Theotokos die het kindje Jezus Christus vasthoudt. Het kunstwerk is zeer gedetailleerd, typisch voor iconen in Byzantijnse stijl, waarbij beide figuren worden omringd door een gouden achtergrond, wat heiligheid en goddelijkheid symboliseert. De lamp voor het icoon is een hangende olielamp, die vaak in orthodoxe kerken wordt gezien. De brandende vlam vertegenwoordigt de aanwezigheid van de Heilige Geest en gebeden van de gelovigen. De zachte gloed van het kaarslicht voegt een serene en heilige sfeer toe aan het beeld, wat de spirituele betekenis van de scène versterkt. Het altaar bevindt zich in het heiligdom, achter een iconostase— een versierde wand met iconen die de kerkruimte scheidt van het altaar. Deze iconostase is vaak rijk gedetailleerd met religieuze afbeeldingen en gouden accenten, wat de heiligheid van de ruimte benadrukt. Bezoekers kunnen kaarsen aansteken bij iconen als symbool van hun gebeden. De zachte verlichting, in combinatie met het natuurlijke licht dat door de ramen valt, creëert een serene, bijna mystieke sfeer.

I got this shot by extended the legs of my tripod to lower it until my camera was literally inches off the ground. Lying on my belly I set the proper hyperfocal distance setting to gain the greatest depth of field (basically everything from front to back is in focus and sharp).
After I got done taking this shot a couple of photographers "were in line" to get a similar composition. I laughed and moved on to my next shot.
