Soaring over Victoria Harbour, Rosewood Hong Kong is a new centre of gravity on the Kowloon waterfront; the crown jewel of the Victoria Dockside arts and design district. On passing the gate and traversing the cobblestoned drive, the urban din falls away, revealing lush topiary and a serene forecourt that commands the harbour. A warm welcome heralds a stay of unparalleled comfort and distinctive hospitality.
I think back to Norway with great pleasure and especially to Lofoten where I would like to come back again....
During our tour through Iceland you came across so many waterfalls that I can't remember how many, but for example this one : Seydisfjordur.... but the most important thing is the enormous beauty of nature there and the beautiful moments that will remain in your memory...Spotters can spot the rainbow if they look closely....
With all due respect please do not Arward and Banners for me, it contributes nothing and I prefer a fave or a comment, both is also warmly appreciated.....:-))
Salamanca's Plaza Mayor was constructed between 1729 and 1755. Not only is it one of the city's most beautiful locales, but it is also considered among the most beautiful plazas in all of Spain. Its Baroque style architecture of the 18th century, includes Spanish decorations of cut tablets, equilateral arches and four levels. Much of the daily and night life of Salamanca takes place in the Plaza Mayor.

This summer one of the main topics on our holiday was the temperature. We were traveling with family from the Philippines but even for them it was hot!
So you can imagine that we were a little bit jealous of the statue in the fountain. She looked so cool ;-)
Enjoy!

The old town hall in Leipzig - the east side of the market the fair city dominant - is considered one of Germany's most important secular buildings of the Renaissance . The Naschmarkt is at the back . The mayor and city administration have been housed in the New Town Hall since 1905 ......Until the beginning of the 20th century it was the seat of the Leipzig city council. Since 1909, the building has been home to the Museum of City History. The Naschmarkt with the Old Stock Exchange is at the back and can be reached via a passageway. The museum entrance is also located in this area. The City Hall houses a large number of valuable relics of Leipzig's music history, which you can find on a tour of the Leipzig Notenspur.....

I've been off the (Flickr-)grid for quite a while. Busy with a lot of things amongst travelling. Being in unknown territory triggered my photography again.
This scene we found on a smaller Filipino Island called Bohol. It was taken late in the afternoon at the beginning of the golden hour. Although I'm still busy I 'll try to catch up with my visits to Flickr.

Excerpt from tripadvisor:
“Riomaggiore's best kept secret” by Kiiri S.:
I almost don't want to write this review because I'm afraid I'll never get a table here again once everyone hears about how amazing it is. People complain about the Cinque Terre being overrun by tourists these days, but head a little bit off the beaten path and you'll find yourself sitting with a glass of wine and a sweeping view of the village and sea almost all to yourself. Fuori Rotta is run by three of the nicest, most hardworking guys, who add a touch of coolness and creativity to the Riomaggiore wine bar scene. The music is always perfect, the dishes imaginative, generous, and delicious, and the vibe is laid back and welcoming. Such an awesome find off the beaten track!
suddenly a lot of light appeared through the clouds but made the reflections in the water very worthwhile....
“Neuer Zollhof” (also known as the “Gehry buildings”) is today a world-famous masterpiece: The buildings dominate the skyline of Dusseldorf’s port, overshadowing other buildings by renowned architects constructed in the 1990s following the revival and redevelopment of the old port.
Bij de gebouwen van Der Neue Zollhof vind je mooie plekken om de Medienhafen te fotograferen. Ook zie je hier het werk van een beroemde hedendaagse architect. De Canadese architect Frank O. Gehry ontwierp dit complex van drie gebouwen tussen 1996 en 1998. Deze gebouwen vervingen het oude douanekantoor van de haven. Gehry is ook de ontwerper van het Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao en de Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
Memorial benches have so many meanings. 1] Don't forget me. 2] Come closer to me. 3] I will always love you. 4] The forest is my heaven and my safe space.

I spent all of yesterday running a 1-2-1 private tuition day with Danny, a new client of mine and I decided to take him to the Ullswater region of the Lake District. The light and colour throughout the day was just lovely and this shot of the iconic and ever famous boathouse looked stunning against the setting sun.
The Duke of Portland Boathouse is iconic partly because you can actually rent it and stay there overnight. It is beautifully appointed and imagine waking up to the stunning views of Ullswater as you throw open the bedroom doors and head out onto the balcony with a morning paper and a coffee (summer only as it was -6 degrees yesterday morning in the Lake District, brrrr).
I hope you've all had a great Tuesday. Please feel free to SHARE if you wish :D

The Most Photographed Barn Bridge in America.
From Don Dellio's classic 1985 novel "White Noise"....
"No one sees the bridge," he said finally.
A long silence followed.
"Once you've seen the Instagrams of the bridge, it becomes impossible to see the bridge."
He fell silent once more. People with phones and cameras left the elevated site, replaced by others.
We're not here to capture an image, we're here to maintain one. Every photograph reinforces the aura. Can you feel it, Jack? An accumulation of nameless energies."
"Being here is a kind of spiritual surrender. We see only what the others see. The thousands who were here in the past, those who will come in the future. We've agreed to be part of a collective perception. It literally colors our vision. A religious experience in a way, like all tourism."
Another silence ensued.
"They are taking pictures of taking pictures," he said.
It was almost midnight when suddenly the sun rose again in a bright orange color that illuminated the city in a beautiful glow.
On my first night in Lofoten Islands I took a walk, it was very cloudy and windy, it was great to walk and free your head from everyday things.......
Historic old buildings in a red bow with the
canal in a super tight water surface....For many Dutch people, Ghent is a nice city to go, close by, lots of culture friendly People and good beer. And not to forget a beautiful old town centre.....
Deze oorspronkelijke haven van het dorp werd ooit aangelegd voor de aanvoer van bouwmateriaal. Nadat de polder van Eierland – ooit de zuidpunt van Vlieland, nu het noordelijke deel van Texel – was drooggelegd, kreeg de haven een andere functie: als thuishaven van de postboot die naar het Posthuys voer. Toen deze ermee ophield, raakte de haven in verval. In de jaren 80 en 90 heeft strandjutter en reder Sil Boon – naar wie het haventje is vernoemd – de noordelijke aanlegsteiger weer opgeknapt.
Marble Canyon is a section along the canyon of the Colorado River from the Glen Canyon Dam at Lake Powell (Page, Arizona) to the confluence of the Little Colorado River. The Grand Canyon officially begins below this confluence. Near Marble Canyon is the famous Navajo Bridge where US Highway 89A crosses the Colorado River. Travelers will find this route handy for going to and from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and into southern Utah. Marble Canyon is the western boundary of the Navajo Nation.....
New year and old resolutions. I read a review in Tripadvisor that they tough this path was made by candle light a century ago and that the miners had to stop since they couldn't find a way to go through. The real history is that the path was to close to the river and the high currents kept destroying it, so they made a new one a little bit higher, hehehe, I liked the previous history more.
Quebec, French Québec, city, port, and capital of Quebec province, Canada. One of the oldest cities in Canada—having celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2008—Quebec city has a distinct old-world character and charm. It is the only remaining walled city in North America north of Mexico and was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985. Among its other distinguishing characteristics are its narrow cobblestone streets, stone buildings, fortifications, and rich French Canadian culture grounded in the French language. The city’s splendid views of the surrounding landscape and unique character were noted as early as 1842 during a visit by Charles Dickens......
Birthplace of the famous Roman emperor Theodosius the Great. With a doubt, the most outstanding feature of the town is its castle, one of the best-preserved in Spain.
The Mudejar castle of Coca is considered to be one of the finest examples of brick military architecture. It was ordered to be built at the end of the 15th century by Archbishop Don Alonso de Fonseca, during the reign of Enrique IV of Castile. It has two areas with a square plan, flanked at the corners by polygonal towers, one of them the Keep. It possesses richly-decorated walls distributed around a large Renaissance courtyard and is surrounded by a deep moat. Also worth a visit are the remains of the wal
The Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse played a primary role in the history of navigation on the St. Lawrence River. The existing lighthouse, built in 1909, is the third to be built on the site and the second tallest in Canada.
The landscape was again with snow and then with juicy green hills, partly rocky and always varied to see, for a photographer enough to do :)
Penarth Pier is a Victorian era pier in the town of Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales. The pier was opened in 1898 and was a popular attraction to seaside-goers at the time, who also enjoyed trips on pleasure steamers that operated from the pier. It has on several occasions been damaged by vessels colliding with the structure and in 1931, a fire broke out in one of the pavilions.
This wooden pavilion was never replaced, but a concrete pavilion has been used over the years as a concert hall, ballroom, cinema and for other purposes. It is currently home to the Penarth Pier Pavilion.

The old town is a pleasure to stroll in, fortunately not full of tourism but where local residents get a lot of pleasure out of it, that it will only stay for a long time to come.....
Every now and then I find a monochrome
wonderful work to do for a change.
And architecture is a good subject for black and white.....
The last time I stayed in Bruges I did not have the opportunity to do a long exposure of Bruges hotspot. Now I had prepared myself and I was with ten other photographers in the same place that is so famous and welknown in Bruges. But you have to do everything yourself once, because I am happy with this evening recording....enjoy :)
