Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland

A different view of the castle. I'd been warned so I knew that between 9am & 6pm you are not allowed to fly a drone near the castle but I have to commend the owners for not putting a blanket ban on drones. I suspect this way people are more likely to obey the rules and come early or late like I did.

Again I hope to reshoot this in Oct or March and think sun set may be better. It is an epic view though!

Nicht nur zum Sonnenaufgang ist der Lilienstein ein lohnenswertes Ziel, auch tagsüber hat man von hier oben einen wunderbaren Ausblick in alle Richtungen, hier über das Elbtal in die Hintere Sächsische Schweiz und nach Böhmen.

The fascinating & beautiful ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, UK, provided me with a glimpse of the city beyond through one of its remaining windows. One can only imagine how glorious this abbey must have been before it was destroyed!

View of the centre of the Belgian town of Ypres. Actually the town is in the Flemish speaking part of Belgium and there the name is Ieper - but the French name of the town were made quite (in)famous during the First World War.

The view here includes the Cloth hall (Lakenhalle van Ieper or Les Halles aux draps d'Ypres) originally built in the 13th century and St Martin's cathedral (Sint-Maartenskathedraal or Cathédrale Saint-Martin) begun in the same century, to be finished in 1370. Both these building were more or less completely destroyed in the First World War and the buildings you see now are (very well done) copies of the originals (the cathedral built in the 1920s and the Cloth hall 1930s-60s).

Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

View form Trail Ridge Road (highest continuous paved road in the US reaching elevation of 12,183 feet), Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Driving on this road is little nerve wrecking, but in the end rewarded by breathtaking scenery. Changing elevation takes you from tree lines to alpine tundra which has very fragile ecosystem. Weather up top is ever changing and highly unpredictable.

Sankt Wolfgang ist ein Ortsteil der Stadt Bad Griesbach im Rottal im niederbayerischen Landkreis Passau.

Der Legende nach soll sich der heilige Bischof Wolfgang von Regensburg auf seiner Wanderung ins Salzkammergut im Jahr 976 in dieser Gegend verirrt haben. Ein geworfenes Beil zeigte ihm den Weg aus dem Wald. An der Stelle, an der das Beil aufschlug, entstand die Wallfahrtskirche St. Wolfgang.

"Panoramic view of St.Wolfgang" Sankt Wolfgang is a district of the town of Bad Griesbach im Rottal in the Lower Bavarian district of Passau.

According to legend, Saint Bishop Wolfgang of Regensburg got lost in this area on his hike to the Salzkammergut in 976. A thrown ax showed him the way out of the forest. The pilgrimage church of St. Wolfgang was built on the spot where the ax struck.

The truly spectacular Quiraing is an icon of Scotland. Many people visit only the first short section of path. My intention was to walk around it, but heavy rain prevented me from doing so. A real shame, as the site is so spectacular.
