Hohenzollern Bridge, or Hohenzollernbrücke in German, is the second biggest tourist attraction in the German city of Cologne, the most densely populated city within the federal state of North-Rhine Westphalia. Of the seven bridges which cross the majestic River Rhine, Hohenzollern Bridge is the most famous for being the closest to the cathedral and for separating the industrial area from the historial area of the city. It's also the oldest bridge, built between 1907 and 1911, and is full of love locks, which I'll mention more in depth later.
The Grand Mosque was constructed between 1994 and 2007 and was inaugurated in December 2007. The building complex measures approximately 290 by 420 m (950 by 1,380 ft), covering an area of more than 12 hectares (30 acres), excluding exterior landscaping and vehicle parking. The main axis of the building is rotated about 12° south of true west, aligning it in the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The project was launched by the late president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who wanted to establish a structure that would unite the cultural diversity of the Islamic world with the historical and modern values of architecture and art.In 2004, Sheikh Zayed died and was buried in the courtyard of the mosque.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center (SZGMC) offices are located in the west minarets. SZGMC manages the day-to-day operations and serves as a center of learning and discovery through its educational cultural activities and visitor programs. The library, located in the northeast minaret, serves the community with classic books and publications addressing a range of Islamic subjects: sciences, civilization, calligraphy, the arts, and coins, including some rare publications. The collection comprises material in a broad range of languages, including Arabic, English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Korean. For two years running, it was voted the world's second favourite landmark by TripAdvisor.
Well what shall I say? back from a trip to Iceland, seen and traveled a lot around the island but by no means seen everything, but we have been in the golden circle and viewed many hihglights that were overwhelming, we also had many days of rain and very strong winds, which made working with the tripod was often not possible, yet I think I can show you a lot, from waterfalls to beautiful landscapes that feel unearthly, I enjoyed it myself I hope you get something from it through my photos.....:)
My favourite hotspot in my city is the Hofvijver at the lange voorhout, every time different and special, those who are tired of looking at it should quickly move on to the flowers and the bees of which Flickr is full of......

Before dusk sets in, we first had a beautiful sunset on this University city, which I really enjoyed admiring it once and it is very different from the daytime....This beautiful university town completely surprised me with its pretty squares and streets full of life, and it was good not to see so many tourists.....

At the far northwest corner of Kalasasaya is Tiwanaku’s best-known structure, the 10-ton Puerta del Sol. This megalithic gateway was carved from a single block of andesite, and archaeologists assume that it was associated with the sun deity. The surface of this fine-grained, gray volcanic rock is ornamented with low-relief designs on one side and a row of four deep niches on the other.
The gateway was most likely originally located in the center of Kalasasaya Platform and was used as a calendar, with the sun striking specific figures on the solstice and equinox.
There’s a smaller, similar gateway carved with zoomorphic designs near the western end of the site that is informally known as the Puerta de la Luna.
The Drommedaris, or Ketenpoort, was built in 1540 as a city gate, part of the city wall that then surrounded Enkhuizen. It was also a defense tower that watched over the city's ports and had a view of the then Zuiderzee. For a long time the building served as a prison and storage space......
It's been three years since I walked there, I want to go back, but for the time being no more holidays for the people with this crisis
With all respect, No Awards, sweepers and post 1 comment

This beautiful place that has been photographed so often (but never by me) is so cool to have seen, here I could do a long exposure because I could borrow a tripod from the giant nice hotel owner for which I am very grateful otherwise I would not have been able to do this. I am very happy with it :-)
Old Haarlem should be visited by everyone,
so many old historic buildings....And certainly the inner city with its many shops and cafes and restaurants where it is wonderful to stay but then when the pandemic is over.....
De Sonora Pass is een 2.933 meter hoge bergpas in de Sierra Nevada in de Amerikaanse staat Californië. State Route 108 steekt de pas over en het Pacific Crest Trail kruist ze. Het is de op een na hoogste pas van de Sierra Nevada waar een weg over gaat. De Sonora Pass ligt op de grens van Alpine County, Mono County en Tuolumne County en op de grens van Stanislaus National Forest en Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.
It remains for us who are used to the night, a strange experience when you are at a point where it will not really get dark, this beautiful viewpoint with the view of the city of Bergen I took in the evening around 23:45 hours, despite I am very happy with this shot.....
I wanted to capture this magnificent building in the blue hour, but a storm with rain came there in its place, however it turns to a dramatic plate where I am very happy with it
I think back to Norway with great pleasure and especially to Lofoten where I would like to come back again....

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.

This amazing location sited on a cliff off the coastal town of Lisbon, close to Sintra. For a reason Azenhas do Mar is well recognised among the most cherished and sensational beaches in Europe.....

An old classic car on its way to a distant destination, but first a good overnight stay with a good dinner to start.....
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.

So this is the shot that appears in the holiday brochures and sells the boat trips, or rather a more saturated version thereof .
It's interesting to read the reviews on trip advisor too

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!
Excerpt from margo7850p at tripadvisor.ca:
The Fountain of Mars - one of the four fountains on the Old Market in Poznan, stands on the north-west side of the Poznan Market Square. Already in the 17th century, one of the four fountains standing on the Market stood in this place, where it supplied water to the inhabitants of Poznan until the end of the 19th century. The fountain depicting the god of war Mars was unveiled in 2005. The author of the sculpture of Mars is Poznan artist Rafał Nowak.
“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.
