Anaklia (Georgian: ანაკლია) is a town and seaside resort in western Georgia. It is located in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region, at the place where the Enguri River flows into the Black Sea.
The earliest settlement on Anaklia's territory dates back to the mid-Bronze Age and is typical to the Colchian culture. It is the Classical Heraclea of Colchis, Anaclia of later authors, and Anarghia of Archangelo Lamberti and Jean Chardin (both the 17th-century travelers). After the fragmentation of the Kingdom of Georgia in the 15th century, it was an important fortified town, sea port and fishing station within the Principality of Mingrelia. In 1723, the town was captured by the Ottoman Empire and converted into its maritime outpost and slave-trading locale. Western Georgian kingdom of Imereti regained control over Anaklia in 1770, seizing the opportunity of Ottoman Empire being at war with Russia (Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774)). Solomon I, the king of Imereti, was supposed to be supported in this endeavor by a small Russian contingent under General Totleben, but the Russian troops retreated before a clash against the Turks.
In 1802, Kelesh-Bey Sharvashidze, the pro-Turkish ruler of the neighboring Principality of Abkhazia, capitalized on the internecine feuds in Mingrelia, and forced Prince Grigol Dadiani of Mingrelia into surrendering Anaklia, taking Grigol’s son and heir, Levan, as a hostage. When Mingrelia accepted the Russian protectorate in 1803, the Russian commander in Georgia, Prince Tsitsianov, demanded that Kelesh-Bey release Levan. On his refusal, Tsitsianov sent Major General Ion Rykgof into Abkhazia. In March 1805, the Russians took hold of Anaklia and threatened to march against Sukhum-Kaleh, forcing the Abkhazian prince to release Dadiani. The capture of Anaklia drew an Ottoman protest, however, and Tsitsianov hastened to disavow his subordinate and even apologize for his action, removing a Russian garrison from Anaklia. However, the incident added to an increasing tension between the two empires. When the next Russo-Turkish War broke out in 1806, the Russian forces restored Redoubt Kali and Anaklia to the Mingrelian prince Levan who would later relinquish the control of these forts to the Russian administration. (See Russian conquest of the Caucasus#Black Sea Coast.) In the 1850s, Anaklia was a small but strongly fortified seaport, which had a custom-house and carried on a considerable trade with Turkey.
Subsequently, the importance of the Anaklia port significantly reduced, but it remained a minor Black Sea Fleet base in the Soviet times.
After the War in Abkhazia (1992–93), a Russian peacekeeping post was opened at Anaklia in 1994. In 2006, the Ministry of Defense of Georgia reported numerous damages inflicted by the Russian soldiers upon the 17th-century fortress of Anaklia and accused the peacekeepers of installing latrines and baths within the walls of the fort. Following a series of protests by the Georgians, the Russian military post was withdrawn in July 2007.
A monument has been erected in Anaklia on May 21, 2012, commemorating Russia's expulsion of the Circassian people from the region following the conclusion of the Caucasian War in the 1860s. The May 21 date was chosen to coincide with the day on which the Circassian people themselves commemorate the expulsion, which the Georgian government has recognized as an act of genocide. The monument was designed by Khusen Kochesokov, a sculptor from the North Caucasus region of Kabardino-Balkaria.

The main river that flows through Northamptonshire is the River Nene. This rises in the west of the county, eventually flowing slowly across the Fens before reaching the sea at The Wash. There were once numerous watermills on the river, and this one is at Great Doddington, just outside Wellingborough. Dating from the mid-1700s, the Grade II-listed building is now a private residence.
Just catching up and enjoying some quality time together after a busy work week. Saturdays are the best days and I have the best partner ♥
Zak surprised me with a romantic night at Essencia Hotel. It's pretty nice and full of quiet, intimate spots. Check it out.
Dating back to the Middle Ages, Kungsträdgården (“The King’s Garden”), which is one of the city’s most popular parks, is also home to the city’s biggest display of soft pink cherry blossoms.
At their peak bloomage, the roofing of pink and white flowers over the entire park and its parallel boulevards is quite the sight to behold.
In 1998, sixty-three Japanese cherry trees were planted and each spring under the cherry blossom trees, people gather to soak up the warm sun, eat ice-cream, gossip, and play chess.

Dating from the 1790s, the Lancaster Canal was designed to run from Kendal down to Westhoughton near Bolton. The purpose was to improve the supply of coal to Lancaster. But the canal was never completed, and the railways eventually took over the task. These days the canal runs from Tewitfield, a mile or so north of Borwick, where this narrowboat is pictured. It ends at Preston. The canal is used purely for leisure.

"There was no turning back once we entered the elevator. No one knew what was waiting for us once the doors opened again"

-There's no turning back now.
-Remember, the next time the elevator stops is on our targets floor. We locate the presidential office, eliminate the target, and get the hell outa here.

This scene was quite rushed as you can see and the elevator doors are jutting out of the wall and I noticed that after I destroyed the scene😣. The next scene will probably focus on the president still talking to the head of the security (ironic)
A couple stopped to take in the light show before their planned night out. Great way to start the romance!!

This tossing and turning and dreaming of you
while I'm lying in bed here tonight.
Excitements repeat for when we next meet
to engage in our special delight.
Pleasure for me is beyond all arousal.
Your instructions for my willing flesh
and special attire for mutual desire –
platform for our passions to mesh.
Your form is defined in that black rubber suit
that clings oh, so tight to your skin.
And that mask can't disguise your bright sparkling eyes
reflecting my thoughts from within.
I must obey all instructions you give –
"Can you read me?" you ask, "Yes, quite clear!"
My toes are now curled - on pool’s edge at Seaworld
starting work in my new scuba gear.

Desde muy temprano estos hombres se hacen a la mar para intentar ganarse un jornal, cada vez es mas dificil,los caladeros estan esquilmados,la contaminacion mata sus capturas,pero ellos cada mañana salen a faenar.
Estos pescadores se daban un rato de charla antes de seguir cada uno para su lado, imaginad las historias que pueden tener cada uno de ellos.

My Sony kit lens broke on this trip and most of my Armenia photos were taken with my iPhone.

On this day, I also brought my Debonair 120, loaded with a precious roll of Kodak Ektar. And I just figured out why this roll was blank. I forgot to remove the lens cap. The lab gave me a credit for the next roll, but drats! Ektar. 😭
These Date Palms were planted by somebody at least 50-70 years ago. There are other Date Palms a few miles away near an old farm & House. Plus there is an old corral near the far end of this photo, so they may have been planted by the rancher who built the corral? Just above the second Date Palm on top of the red rock formation there is a new one, about 2 feet tall, growing out of about a 1/2" of soil into the rock formation. I took a photo of it and it came out good, but have never posted it.
