The Charles Bridge - Karlův most - is a famous historic bridge that crosses the Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava (Moldau) until 1841, the Charles Bridge was the most important connection between Prague Castle and the city's Old Town and adjacent areas. This "solid-land" connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. The bridge was originally called the Stone Bridge (Kamenný most) or the Prague Bridge (Pražský most) but has been the "Charles Bridge" since 1870.
One of the iconic photos from Prague, but to get it you have to get up early as usual. I thought we might be the only people there in the morning, however several other photographers were there as well, together with some small groups of foreigners (rather drunk) returning from the nearby dance club.

Lucerne / Luzern is a city in Switzerland. It is the capital of the Canton of Lucerne and seat of the district with the same name. With a population of 76,156, Lucerne is the most populous city in Central Switzerland, and a focal point of the region. Due to its location on the shore of Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee), within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi in the Swiss Alps, Lucerne is traditionally considered first and foremost as a tourist destination. One of the city's famous landmarks is Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), a wooden bridge first built in the 14th century. It has also been voted as the 5th most popular tourism destination in the world in 2010 by Tripadvisor and has private hotel schools most notably on the shores of lake Luzern in Kastanienbaum.
Jesuitenkirche (Jesuit Church) is the first large sacral Baroque church in Switzerland; constructed in 1666 by Father Christoph Vogler for the Jesuits. The vault was redecorated in the mid-18th century. The original vestments of Brother Klaus, a famous Swiss patron, are stored in the inner chapel.
Slightly different angle than on the last post. You can see by that wet and reflecting ground that it must have raining heavily and it really was - I was standing there with large borrowed umbrella above my camera and many people probably thought I must be crazy - well you dont have choice when you travel, rain, no rain - luckily it was around 30C that evening so the rain was somewhat refreshing :-)

One of those traditional local ger places where we stayed in Mongolia. It was particularly interesting night as we have adjusted our trip schedule and we were not really sure where we stay that night. We have passed couple of camps that our guide thought we might stay, but none were there, so we had to drive on.
Imagine complete darkness, no signs, just dust road (if you can actually call it a road) and nothing around us. We started to be bit worried where we'll sleep that night, but somehow our driver remembered one family he stayed over once. I have no idea how he found it, but he did. There were two of these gers where a family lived their usual life. We arrived there and they were very kind to let us stay in one of their gers. They all move over to the other smaller one. Imagine, it is like you live in your house, some strange group of foreigners come over and you move to your garden house and give them all your house to stay in. We have been deeply impressed and thankful. This definitely wasn't typical tourist thing, but real life experience, especially when all 7 of slept in this one ger… you really have to rethink what is your personal space..

Al Mukhala - is the capital of Hadramout and one of Yemen’s ports on the Arabian Sea. It was known as Khaisa or Bandar Yakoub and has been called Mukalla only recently.
Fishermen were the first to settle in Mukalla, having immigrated from adjacent regions, In this city, the first Princedom of Al-Kasad was established in the 18th 19th century AD, This prosperity gave this city the architectural style of Coastal cities which lie on the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea such as Aqaba, Jeddah, Hodeidah, Mokha, Luhayya, and Aden. All these cities lost their original style, which may now be seen only in the old ‘downtown’ of Mukalla city. It is a style combining the features of Arabian and south-east Asian architecture. Mukalla’s Prominent Features Ma’een Palace, which was built by Sultan Omer Bin Awadah Qu’aiti. Mukalla Archaeological Museum now occupies a part of this palace.

Yesterday, 26 September 2016, I had planned to join a group of friends for a birding walk at Bebo Grove, Fish Creek Park. By the time I had had breakfast, I was feeling somewhat queasy and thought I had better not go on the walk after all. Felt a bit better later in the morning and decided to go to the Park after all, getting there about noon. Met a delightful young man standing on the bridge over the creek, pointing out to me a perched bird of prey. My first thought was Merlin, but it seemed to be too big to be a Merlin. It took a while to decide just what it was - helped by excellent birder, Nimali, who happened to come along the path. We decided it was a Cooper's Hawk ('C' for curved edge of tail tip and 'C' for Cooper's). Looking at my photos yesterday evening, I was still not sure that we had made the right decision.
This bird stayed around for ages and gave some nice opportunities for photos, including of it 'mantling' (spreading out its wings to form a cloak) when it captured a large dragonfly and returned to the same branch. When two of us were first standing on the bridge, this bird flew down right over our heads two or three times - maybe because we were attracting insects around us? We noticed a second similar bird, too, and we wondered if they were maybe juveniles, especially as the main one was very comfortable with us standing nearby. Made my day : ) Later: really appreciate everyone's help with identifying this bird as a Merlin!
"Merlins are small, fierce falcons that use surprise attacks to bring down small songbirds and shorebirds. They are powerful fliers, but you can tell them from larger falcons by their rapid wingbeats and overall dark tones. Medieval falconers called them “lady hawks,” and noblewomen used them to hunt Sky Larks. Merlin populations have largely recovered from twentieth-century declines, thanks to a ban on the pesticide DDT and their ability to adapt to life around towns and cities." From AllAboutBirds.

I even spotted several mushrooms earlier in my walk, which was a surprise. Can't believe I was out in the park for about five hours! A very enjoyable walk - glad to have your company, Nimali, and that of the very knowledgeable young man we had just met.

It’s not usual to see snow covering the streets of my town. However, from to time to time, we are blessed with a small snowfall—not so big as to create serious trouble, but big enough to enjoy a white landscape for a day or two. On such rare occasions, I love to take my camera and snap a few pictures.
The day in question started with a big snowfall; I decided to take my car before snow blocked the road. After a few kilometers, I parked my car and I started walking through the falling snow—a sensation almost forgotten for me.
I wandered into a local forest—it was amazing to see how different it looked compared to a normal day. The sky was like a white blanket; there was plenty of light, but it was difficult to see anything in the distance. The absence of color was noticeable; it seemed like everything was covered in a light blue tint and there were no shadows anywhere.

Chitwan National Park is the most popular destination for tourists wanting to have a good experience of the region’s wildlife. It was declared a National Park in 1973. In 1984, UNESCO designated Royal Chitwan National Park a Natural World Heritage Site. The Park offers protection to 56 species of mammals including the one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger, leopard, sloth bear, wild elephant, striped hyena, Gangetic dolphin and wild bison. There are estimated to be 470 species of mammals, over 500 species of birds, 126 species of fish, 150 species of butterflies and 47 species of reptiles in the park! A recent study also points out that over a third of Nepal’s tigers are in Chitwan.
The Park is spread over an area of 932 sq kms and located in the lowlands of the kingdom. The forest cover is predominantly sal forest, interspersed with tall grasslands, small hills, ox-bow lakes and flood plains. The best time to visit Chitwan is from October through February, when the temperature averages 25 degrees Celcius. The months of March, April and June can be extremely hot, while July-September is the monsoon season when rivers swell and parts of the park are inaccessible.

Asia - Laos - Vientiane Province - Vang Vieng - Small traditional town surrounded by Limestone Hills - Nam Song River with long tail boats
Vang Vieng is a small town surrounded by mountains & rivers. The main attractions are caves, Hmong villages, and the natural mountain scenery. A favorite with travelers - many stay longer than planned. However this town became too famous for them and became a party village. Music and noise last until late night. The market is located five kilometers north of the town selling Lao textiles, household items and several stalls selling dubious foodstuffs. It is possible for stalls to sell bats, squirrels, monkeys, rats, mice and other animals as food. In the town there is a wat that is notable in looking rundown and keeping its valuables chained behind a door.
The real attractions of the area are the scenery, the limestone hills and the numerous caves and caverns. Vang Vieng is set along the banks of the Nam Song River. In the near distance towering behind Vang Vieng are the most incredible rock formations. They are jagged limestone karsts that tower above the jungle - steep walls which have somehow eluded the jungle's grasp. In the morning hours a fine mists hovers just above the jungle at the base of these formations. In the evenings they form an incredible back drop for picture taking during the "golden hour."
