Paleokarya is located in a ravine of incomparable natural beauty, 25 km from the city of Trikala.
The arched bridge of Paleokarya is located 500 m. Before the village of Kato Paleokarya, next to the dam of Portaikos. The bridge has a length of 26 meters, an arch opening of 19 meters and a height of 10 meters from the riverbed, while behind it falls an impressive waterfall of 12 meters, which continues to a smaller height of 2 meters. The roar from the falling water causes a feeling of awe. In the background, the mountains of Katouna and the peaks of Gropa and Karava, overgrown with firs and oaks, adorn the landscape of the area with special beauty.
A Painted Lady, happily feeds, in the center of the bush, surrounded by the lovely and fragrant blossoms of the butterfly bush. A little hard for the camera to focus upon but the butterfly's antenna helped! LOL ;-) If you were a butterfly though, what is not to like about this scenario?! You would be crazy not to... :-))

Located approximately 280 km (170 miles) north of Lisbon, the historic center of Porto was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.[25] Among the city's architectural landmarks, the Porto Cathedral is the oldest surviving structure, along with the small Romanesque Church of Cedofeita, the Gothic Church of Saint Francis, remnants of the defensive city walls, and several 15th-century houses.
Note:
The Luiz I Bridge (Portuguese: Ponte Luiz I),[2] commonly known as Dom Luís I Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luís I), is a double-deck metal arch bridge that spans the river Douro between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia in Portugal. At its construction, its 172 metres (564 ft) span was the longest of its type in the world. It can be confused with the nearby Maria Pia Bridge, a railway bridge that was built 9 years earlier (and is located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the east), which is similar in aspect to the Luiz I bridge.
Located in downtown Richmond along the James River, the Historic Tredegar site is home to an award-winning 30,000 sq. ft. Museum surrounding the industrial ruins of Tredegar Ironworks.

We located the tree of the nesting pair of Pygmy Owls yesterday. We watched her checking us out. The male was sitting outside for a bit. There was some chatter between the pair and she eventually flew out where she was greeted by her mate. The mating took place very high this time. Will return much later for the feeding when the babies hatch.

Located on the Nete river, Lier was settled in the 8th century and developed around the chapel of St. Peter. Lier became an important textile centre in the 14th century. It was besieged and taken by the Spanish in 1582, by the Dutch in 1595, and by the English in 1706 during the War of the Spanish Succession.
Lier is a French commune that was granted city rites in 1212. It is located in the Flanders region of Northern Belgium. Located on the Nete river, Lier was settled in the 8th century and developed around the chapel of St. Peter. Lier became an important textile centre in the 14th century. It was besieged and taken by the Spanish in 1582, by the Dutch in 1595, and by the English in 1706 during the War of the Spanish Succession. Belgian nationalists resisted a Dutch attack in 1830. Belgium has seen its fair share of war and occupation.
Destruction of Lier occurred as a result of bombing in Antwerp in 1914; however, many of the medieval structures survived including, the Gothic belfry, St. Gommarus’ Church and the béguinage.
Mount Vesuvius is a somma-stratovolcano located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes forming the Campanian volcanic arc. Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera, resulting from the collapse of an earlier, much higher structure.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae, and several other settlements. The eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ashes and volcanic gases to a height of 33 km, erupting molten rock and pulverized pumice at the rate of 6×105 cubic metres per second. More than 1,000 people are thought to have died in the eruption, though the exact toll is unknown. The only surviving eyewitness account of the event consists of two letters by Pliny the Younger to the historian Tacitus.
Vesuvius has erupted many times since. It is the only volcano on Europe's mainland to have erupted in the last hundred years. It is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because 3,000,000 people live near enough to be affected by an eruption, with 600,000 in the danger zone. This is the most densely populated volcanic region in the world. Eruptions tend to be violent and explosive; these are known as Plinian eruptions.
Vesuvius has a long historic and literary tradition. It was considered a divinity of the Genius type at the time of the eruption of AD 79: it appears under the inscribed name Vesuvius as a serpent in the decorative frescos of many lararia, or household shrines, surviving from Pompeii. An inscription from Capua to IOVI VESVVIO indicates that he was worshipped as a power of Jupiter; that is, Jupiter Vesuvius.
The Romans regarded Mount Vesuvius to be devoted to Hercules. The historian Diodorus Siculus relates a tradition that Hercules, in the performance of his labors, passed through the country of nearby Cumae on his way to Sicily and found there a place called "the Phlegraean Plain", "from a hill which anciently vomited out fire ... now called Vesuvius." It was inhabited by giant bandits, "the sons of the Earth. With the gods' assistance, he pacified the region and continued. The facts behind the tradition, if any, remain unknown, as does whether Herculaneum was named after it. An epigram by the poet Martial in 88 AD suggests that both Venus, patroness of Pompeii, and Hercules were worshipped in the region devastated by the eruption of 79.

Priest Hole is located on the John Day River about 12 miles from Mitchell, Oregon. Getting to Priest Hole can be difficult as the road turns to gravel and then gets very narrow and steep. Priest Hole Recreation Site, is a local favorite for swimming and fishing. The water here is the perfect temperature for swimming and is beautifully crystal clear. This spot is right in the middle of the John Day Wild and Scenic River, which was designated for its incredible scenery, fish and wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities and geological features. Most reports about this area do say they recommend a high clearance vehicle, and there are definitely places you need to slow down and take care. I personally drive a Volvo XC 90 and got through by just taking it easy. The water in this area is slow moving and there were several people during the day that were paddle boarding, kayaking, and swimming.

Located at the corner of O’Connell Street and Abbey Street, the Grand Central Café Bar is located in a genuinely grand central site, but doesn’t have a long history. It links what were two premises, 10 and 11 O’Connell Street, which have been a single building since the Munster and Leinster Bank acquired No 11 in 1926. No 11 was rebuilt by Benjamin Ball in 1824.
The buildings were extensively damaged in the Easter Rising of 1916, primarily by a shell from HMS Helga. No 10 was refurbished as a result in 1917.
The buildings played an interesting rôle during the Easter Rising. They housed at that time the Irish School of Wireless Telegraphy. With all telephone lines in and out of the city cut by the British authorities, on the second day of the Rising, 25 April 1916, the rebels sent the following message in Morse code thanks to one of their number, David Bourke, who was proficient in the art of telegraphy: “Irish Republic declared in Dublin today. Irish troops have captured city and are in full possession. Enemy cannot move in city. The whole country rising.”
Ships did receive the message and relayed it to the international press, although three days later the Rising would be crushed.

Located in Shimen District, New Taipei City, Laomei Green Reefs derive from volcanic matters of Datun Mountains. After a long time of sea erosions, their soft parts are gone, leaving the hard compounds that look like ditches. As waves hit the reef surfaces under northeast monsoons, green algae such as sea lettuce and “green hair” slowly grow. The result is the amazing seasonal scene of Laomei Green Reefs.

BOMBILLAS EN UN MERCADO DE FIN DE SEMANA, 2020
Madrid tiene su Museo del Ferrocarril ubicado en la antigua estación de trenes de Delicias.
Allí se exhiben locomotoras y vagones de tiempos pasados. Se ha respetado su configuración técnica y algunos vagones tienen una decoración "de época" muy lograda.
El segundo fin de semana de cada mes se organiza un mercadillo, que sólo dura dos días. Originalmente los artículos que se vendían en el mercadillo eran de temas relacionados con el mundo de los ferrocarriles, como maquetas y otros símbolos de ese mundo.
Sin embargo, los artículos en venta se han generalizado y ya se venden artículos de todo tipo, como artesanía, bisutería, ropa, calzado, jabones, bizcochos, frutos secos, miel, bebidas...

Located 15 miles southwest of the town of Shiprock, New Mexico is a unique towering, bird-like volcanic rock formation that can be seen for miles in all directions. Shiprock, as this mighty sand-colored column was named by Anglo settlers, is known to the Navajo as “Tsé Bit’ a’í”, or rock with wings. The peak is 7,178 above sea level, and is at the center of three volcanic pressure ridges that pushed the rock skyward millennia ago
