Ladies View est un lieu qui offre un magnifique panorama sur les lacs de Killarney. Le lieu est tout simplement magique, et se situe en plein cœur du Parc National de Killarney, un parc de 10 000 hectares de nature sauvage, de lacs et de montagnes impressionnants.
Un Lieu apprécié par la Reine Victoria
Ladies View est appelée ainsi (la Vue des Dames en anglais), en référence à la reine Victoria, qui était en visite en Irlande en 1861. Alors que celle-ci était sur le chemin qui menait à la propriété de Muckross House, la reine fut charmée par le paysage exceptionnel des environs. A un tel point qu’elle ordonna que l’on immobilise l’attelage, et que l’on autorise (fait exceptionnel pour l’époque), ses dames de compagnies à admirer la vue avec elle. (Madame est trop bonne !)
Depuis ce jour, le lieu fut baptisé le “Ladies View”, ou “Vue des Dames”, en référence à la reine Victoria, et à ses dames de compagnies qui admirèrent l’espace de quelques minutes le fabuleux panorama de la région.

L'idée de cette photo est de que batiment, saisie en contre-plongée, semble se transformer en lame d’acier plantée dans le ciel. La symétrie et la verticalité accentuent l’impression de puissance et d’élan. Plus qu’un simple bâtiment, c’est une véritable flèche urbaine qui symbolise l’ambition et la modernité de l’architecture contemporaine.
Prise avec un appareil comact Ricoh GR IIIx
The idea behind this photograph is to capture the building, shot from a low angle, so that it appears to transform into a blade of steel piercing the sky. The symmetry and verticality emphasize the impression of power and dynamism. More than just a building, it is a true urban icon, symbolizing the ambition and modernity of contemporary architecture.

Tour Eiffel 05/09/2021 19h38
The best view point of Paris is of course the Tour Eiffel. Looking in the Southwestern direction here overlooking the neighbourhood of Grenelle (15ème arrondissement).
Tour Eiffel
Tour Eiffel, is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
Constructed from 1887–89 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world.
The Eiffel Tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world; 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015.
The tower is 324 metres tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building, and the tallest structure in Paris. Its base is square, measuring 125 metres on each side. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City was finished in 1930. Due to the addition of a broadcasting aerial at the top of the tower in 1957, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building by 5.2 metres. Excluding transmitters, the Eiffel Tower is the second-tallest structure in France after the Millau Viaduct.
The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second levels. The top level's upper platform is 276 m above the ground – the highest observation deck accessible to the public in the European Union. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift (elevator) to the first and second levels. The climb from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the climb from the first level to the second. Although there is a staircase to the top level, it is usually only accessible by lift.

A nice viewpoint with the center of Český Krumlov with it's caste in the distance. Located along the tř. Míru (name of the road).
Český Krumlov
Ceský Krumlov (in German Krumau) is a town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 13,000 inhabitants. It is known as a tourist centre, which is among the most visited places in the country. The historic centre with the Český Krumlov Castle complex is protected by law as an urban monument reservation, and since 1992, it has been a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its well-preserved Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture.
Krumlov has its origin in Middle High German Krumme Aue, which can be translated as crooked meadow, after a bend of the Vltava River. The adjective Český ('Bohemian', German: Böhmisch) was added in the 15th century to differentiate it from the town of Moravský Krumlov in south Moravia.
Český Krumlov is located on the České Budějovice–Černý Kříž railway [cs] and as of 2026 it is served by the intraregional line Prague–Český Krumlov and regional line České Budějovice–Nové Údolí. The town is served by two railway stations: Český Krumlov and Domoradice.
Quartier de Chaillot 05/09/2021 19h04
The quartier de Chaillot as seen from the top floor of the Tour Eiffel. Palais de Chaillot is partly visible at the left (under) and also Avenue Kléber for the ones who know Paris.
Quartier de Chaillot
The Chaillot district is the 64th administrative district in Paris. Located in the 16th arrondissement on the hill of Chaillot, it originates from a village of the same name located rue de Chaillot but whose parish territory, twice the size of the current district, covered, in addition to the 16th north of the street. des Carrières de Passy and to the east of rue Léonard de Vinci, the south of the 8th district, called from the faubourg de la Conférence, that is to say from the current Place de l'Étoile all the edges of the Seine to the east of a Bois de Boulogne formerly more extensive between the cemetery of Passy included as far as La Concorde.
First village west of Paris responding in the extension of the decumanus to the oriental Charonne, it was in the sixteenth century that Chaillot opened up with the construction of a castle for Queen Catherine de Medici, other large residences then religious establishments, in particular the convent of Chaillot. In 1659, it officially became a suburb of the capital. Split in 1785 by the wall of the Farmers General, its populated part integrates the 1st arrondissement. Under the First Empire, a project for the King of Rome's palace on the hill was aborted but was followed by several architectural sketches (monumental statues, housing estates, etc.). A district of Chaillot was formed in 1860 within the new 16th arrondissement. The Trocadero Palace was built there for the Universal Exhibition of 1878, around which many residential buildings were built. The palace gives way to the Palais de Chaillot in 1935 for the 1937 Specialized Exhibition.
Population: 21,000 (approx 2016)
Area: 142,4 ha = 1,424 km2
Density: 14 666 hab./km2

Parvis du Sacré-Cœur 04/01/2024 09h06
One of the most beautiful freely accessible view points in Paris; the forecourt of the Sacre-Cœur on the Butte Montmartre.
Montmartre
Montmartre s a large hill in Paris's northern 18th arrondissement. It is 130 meters high and gives its name to the surrounding district, part of the Right Bank. Montmartre is primarily known for its artistic history, for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur on its summit, and as a nightclub district.
The other church on the hill, Saint Pierre de Montmartre, built in 1147, was the church of the prestigious Montmartre Abbey. On 15 August 1534, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Saint Francis Xavier and five other companions bound themselves by vows in the Martyrium of Saint Denis, 11 Rue Yvonne Le Tac, the first step in the creation of the Jesuits.

Marinid Tombs 27/06/2022 18h23

Marinid Tombs
The Marinid Tombs or Merenid Tombs are a set of ruined monumental tombs on a hill above and north of Fes al-Bali, the old city of Fez, Morocco. They were originally a royal necropolis for the Marinid dynasty which ruled over Morocco in the 13th to 15th centuries. Today, they are a popular lookout point over the historic city.
There is sparse information available on the site and its history. However, the ruined tombs are attributed to the 14th century, during the Marinid dynasty (13th–15th centuries), hence their name.
The Marinids conquered Fez in 1250 (CE) and turned it into their capital, eventually cementing this status by building a new fortified palace-city, Fes el-Jdid, in 1276 alongside the existing old city (Fes el-Bali). Before the foundation of Fes el-Jdid, however, the Marinids established a fortified palace on the hill to the north of Fes el-Bali known as al-Qula (today also known as the "Hill of the Marinids").
The hillsides around the tombs (mostly to the north and east) are still occupied by the sprawling Bab Guissa Cemetery (named after the nearby city gate, Bab Guissa), though the graves visible today are likely much more recent. Today the site is well-known as a lookout with panoramic views over the old city of Fez, popular at sunset, and often mentioned in guidebooks and tourist literature. In addition to the views, it is also a notable place to hear the call to prayer (adhan) broadcasting simultaneously from all the mosques in the old city.

My first time in Africa, my first time in Morocco, my first time in Fès and my first time with Mehdi...
Location: Marinid Tombs view point overlooking the old medina of Fès.
Coördinates: Click on the link to see the exact location where this photo is taken:
Reason: A week holiday in and around the city of Fès, Morocco.
Fès: Fez or Fes (Arabic: فاس, romanized: fās, Berber languages: ⴼⴰⵙ, romanized: fas, French: Fès) is a city in northern inland Morocco and the capital of the Fès-Meknès administrative region. It is the second largest city in Morocco, with a population of 1.11 million according to the 2014 census.
Fez was founded under Idrisid rule during the 8th-9th centuries CE. It initially consisted of two autonomous and competing settlements. Successive waves of mainly Arab immigrants from Ifriqiya (Tunisia) and al-Andalus (Spain/Portugal) in the early 9th century gave the nascent city its Arab character. After the downfall of the Idrisid dynasty, other empires came and went until the 11th century when the Almoravid Sultan Yusuf ibn Tashfin united the two settlements into what is today's Fes el-Bali quarter. Under Almoravid rule, the city gained a reputation for religious scholarship and mercantile activity.
Today, the city consists of two old medina quarters, Fes el-Bali and Fes Jdid, and the much larger modern urban Ville Nouvelle area founded during the French colonial era. The medina of Fez is listed as a World Heritage Site and is believed to be one of the world's largest urban pedestrian zones (car-free areas). It has the University of Al-Qarawiyyin which was founded in 857 and is considered by some to be the oldest continuously functioning institute of higher education in the world. It also has Chouara Tannery from the 11th century, one of the oldest tanneries in the world. The city has been called the "Mecca of the West" and the "Athens of Africa." It is also considered the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco.

Empire State Building
The Empire State Building is a 102-story skyscraper located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, on Fifth Avenue between West 33rd and 34th Streets. It has a roof height of 380 m, and with its antenna spire included, it stands a total of 443 m high. Tallest in the world from 1931 to 1970. Its name is derived from the nickname for New York, the Empire State.

[...] chaque "moi" est un "point de vue" sur le monde, chaque "moi" exprime le "monde entier" de son propre "point de vue" ; au sens où le "monde entier" n’existe pas hors des "points de vue" qui l’expriment. La "ville" n’existe pas hors de l’ensemble des "points de vue" sur la "ville". C’est une belle idée, . . la ville c’est ça, c’est l’ensemble des points de vue sur la ville. [...] Chaque "moi" contient (enveloppe) la totalité du "monde" . . [...] . . pour chacun de ces "moi", Leibniz qui ne se satisfait pas du petit ilot subjectif de la res cogitans de Descartes, crée un concept pour désigner "chaque moi" qui pense la totalité du monde possible. Leibniz l'appelle la "monade". Chaque "monade" exprime (enveloppe) la totalité du monde.
Each "self" is a "point of view" on the world, each "self" expresses the "world" from his own "point of view", in the sense that the "world" doen't exist out of the "points of view" that give it an expression. The "city" doesn't exist outside of all "points of view" on the city. It is a beautiful idea . . the city is all the "points of view" on the city. [...] Every "self" contains (wraps) the entire "World". . [...]. . For each of these "self", Leibniz who don't meet the too small subjective island of the res cogitans of Descartes, creates a concept to designate "each self" who thinks the entire possible world. Leibniz called him the "monad". Each "monad" expresses (wraps) the entire world.
