Some of the beautifully restored homes in Trinity, Newfoundland and Labrador, date from the 1700's. A photographer could easily spend a week in this area, exploring the historic buildings, attending live theater, taking in the scenery and the history, going whale watching or hiking. www.newfoundlandlabrador.com/PlacesToGo/Trinity
We do have to drive an hour and half to get here.
There are two planks connecting the bridge to land...very weathered planks and very weathered bridge.

LISBON - WHERE PASTEL COLOURS MINGLE
„Colour is the place where our brain and the universe meet.“ (Paul Klee)
There is something special about the light of Lisbon, something magical and inexplicable that has always enchanted artists, writers, poets, and ordinary Lisboetas. A city’s attractions are usually tangible things. Buildings. Monuments. Shops and art galleries and restaurants and gardens. Not light. The same sun shines down upon every city, and yet it belongs to no one. So how can Lisbon’s light be different? Because it truly is. I grab the elbow of my friend suddenly and point up to where a geometry of golden light cuts between the narrow street and across the tops of the buildings. Literally, it happens to me that I stop to inhale a moment of special light every other minute. When I talk about Lisbon and Portugal in general, half of my stories deal with its light and the unique
atmosphere it creates. Sensual, tender, and subtle are attributes that might be best to use.

A magical time with the clouds reflecting off the pool. a blue filter to change the mood of the sunset.
In the background is the Seafarers Bridge, a footbridge over the Yarra River. The bridge connects the north and south banks of the river while providing a formal entrance to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, located next to the Yarra River in South Wharf.

The “Puffins” had gone from Skomer Island just a couple of weeks before, in the middle of July. So, instead of them I could see a lot of different gulls and seabirds and some of these funny rabbits. The walk on the island was interesting and relaxing anyway.
Here is a link for informations about Skomer Island:

Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself...
This is Sutton on Sea - Sandilands Beach on the Lincolnshire coast UK.
A perfect day on the beach. :-) I do miss the coast.

Ireland Park honours the Irish immigrants who fled during the Famine of 1847 and the 38,000 who arrived in Toronto that summer when the City's population was a mere 20,000. Ireland Park is a bridge that will link two nations and two cities. It is the story of a destitute people overcoming unimaginable hardship and suffering, and speaks to the kindness and generosity of Canadians, which is as consistent today as it was in 1847.
It is a reminder of the trauma of famine, which still exists in many parts of the world today. The failure of a harvest is an act of nature. Starvation is the result of our failure to respond with generosity to those who are hungry in our world today
The rock sculpture is in several sections. Between each section are the names of the deceased, and at night they are up-lit.
Eldorado Canyon State Park, near Boulder, Colorado is a climber's dream. From the park's website: "there are over 500 technical climbing routes luring climbers from around the world".
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/EldoradoCanyon/Pages/def...
For hikers like me, there are well-defined, safe trails to follow; for those that don't hike or climb, there are picnic areas and South Boulder Creek.
Like "Postbox (or Pillarbox) Red" there should also be a colour called "Cromford Green".
The photo explains why :-) and if you have been there, you'll certainly understand.
Waking up with the ducks and watching the sun rise together was a real privilege to share at the Pond on Longshaw Estate.
This charming villa was built as a summer residence in 1890 by Konstantin Kabayanidis, a Greek ethnic banker from Trabzon (it is said that he was a Russian citizen). It is located in Soğuksu, one of Trabzon’s recreation hillside areas, 5 km away from the city centre. After establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, the house became property of the treasure. Later on, it was purchased by the Municipality and was presented as a gift from the Trabzon people to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk during one of his three visits in this city.
Nowadays it hosts a museum where one can see the well preserved original decorations and furniture and a collection of Atatürk’s personal belongings and photographs. It’s also worth for a visit for its beautiful gardens and also for the surrounding landscape and magnificent views over the city and the Black Sea Coast.

Această frumoasă vilă a fost construită în anul 1890 ca reşedinţă de vară de către Konstantin Kabayanidis, un bancher de etnie greacă din Trabzon (se spune că era cetăţean rus). Vila se află pe dealul Soğuksu, una din zonele de recreere ale oraşului, la 5 km distanţă de centrul oraşului. După proclamarea Republicii Turcia, a fost trecută în proprietata a statului. Mai târziu, municipalitatea a cumpărat-o de la ministerul de finanţe şi a oferit-o lui Mustafa Kemal Atatürk ca dar din partea locuitorilor oraşului, cu ocazia uneia dintre cele trei vizite pe care le-a făcut la Trabzon.
Astăzi clădirea adăposteşte un muzeu în care se pot vedea atât decoraţiile şi piesele de mobilier originale, cât şi o expoziţie de fotografii de epocă şi de obiecte care i-au aparţinut lui Atatürk. De asemenea, trebuie vizitată şi pentru superbele grădini din jurul casei, dar şi pentru frumuseţea peisajului şi pentru vederea panoramică asupra orasului şi ţărmului Mării Negre.
This is one of my attempts at Schwabachers Landing
The landing is a boat landing located a few miles south of Snake River Overlook, along the east shore of the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, U.S.. The boat landing is located off the combined U.S. Route 26/89/187, 5 miles (16 km) north of the park's main headquarters at Moose, Wyoming. The landing is accessed via a dirt road immediately north of Moose and is impassable in the winter. Fishermen, canoeists and rafters use the landing to gain access to the Snake River, and it is one of four locations in Grand Teton National Park where the river is easily accessed. Wildlife including moose, pronghorn, mule deer and bald eagles are commonly seen in the immediate vicinity of the landing. Above the landing, along the main highway, some of the finest vistas of the Teton Range, are available and a number of excellent images have been painted and photographed from that vantage point. Privately owned tour companies provide guided fishing and rafting trips commencing from the landing, and the immediate area is a popular spot for wedding parties.
