Day 12: A day in Húsavik. We spent a day in this place, Húsavik is a beautiful port city, famous in Iceland for sighting whales!!
What a emotive experience!!
This week the photos maybe a bit repetitive, but for me is interesting show us... =O)
Have a great week my friends !!
Even with the 10mm ... needed two captures there to get the wide view I wanted with the crane completely in the frame plus the floating dock. This is a stitch of two captures to the wide view I envisioned standing there.
A great evening to be there in Baltimore along the harbor areas.
Die Stadtgemeinde Stykkishólmur liegt im Westen Islands in der Region Vesturland an der Nordseite der Halbinsel Snæfellsnes.
Hier hatten wir ein ganz süßes kleines Hotel mit einem winzigen Zimmer, dafür gab es morgens Lachs zum Frühstück
Lady Maryland and Sigsbee docked at the Frederick Douglass- Isaac Myers pier in Fells Point, Baltimore Harbor.
Split, Croatia, view of the harbor after a departing rainstorm on a spring afternoon, the low light image was taken from the balcony of my apartment, the others from sea level earlier in the afternoon. Happy weekend to everyone.
Just ten minutes drive west of the center of Alburfeira is the lovely Marina area, here you can take a boat out for the day or simply stroll round taking in the lovely weather, have coffee in one of the cafes or just sit down and relax.
The Marina is only a few years old so its quite modern looking with lots of coloured Dolphins displayed around and colourful apartments nearby. A nice place to visit to escape the crowds of Alburfeira.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! I prefer to post a new image every other week when possible, but chose to post this shot one week after the last, to promote a very important message.
A mammogram + early detection can help save a woman’s life. Be educated about fighting breast cancer, and please share the message.
I love long exposure photography. The effects intrigue me, and even though I plan to capture a specific look with each shot, the resulting image often surprises me.
What I attempt to convey using this technique, is the surreal, but not unreal. An image that represents light and color detail in almost every part of the recorded scene.

it is assumed that Gorinchem was founded circa 1000 CE by fishermen and farmers on the raised land near the mouth of the river Linge at the Merwede. (Home of Gorik) is first mentioned in a document from 1224 in which Floris IV granted people from Gorinchem exemption of toll payments throughout Holland.
Somewhere between 1247 and 1267, Gorinchem became property of the Lords of Arkel. At the end of the 13th century earthen mounts reinforced with palisades were built around the settlement to protect it from domination by the neighboring counties of Holland and Gelre. Half a century later real city walls were built complete with 7 gates and 23 watchtowers. Otto van Arkel granted it city rights on 11 November 1322.
Jan van Arkel had a dispute with Albert I, brother of Willem V of Holland, leading to war and subsequently to the annexation of Gorinchem to Holland in 1417. This resulted in increased trade and Gorinchem grew to be the eighth city of Holland.
On 9 July 1572, the Watergeuzen (Dutch rebels against Spanish rule) conquered the city and captured 19 Catholic priests and monks. Because they refused to renounce their faith, these priests and monks were brought to Brielle where they were hanged and were from then on known among Catholics as the Martyrs of Gorkum.
By the 16th century, the city walls were so deteriorated that they were replaced with new fortifications and eleven bastions that still are almost completely intact. The new walls were completed in 1609 and were located further from the town centre, making the city twice as large. In 1673, Gorinchem became part of the old Dutch Water Line.
The city walls had four city gates: the Arkel Gate in the north, the Dalem Gate in the east, the Water Gate in the south (where the ferry to Woudrichem was), and the Kansel Gate in the west. Of these four gates, only the Dalem Gate remains. The others were removed in the 19th century to make way for vehicular traffic. A portion of the Water Gate was preserved in the gardens of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
