Grottes d'Hercule 06/07/2023 13h04
Grottes d'Hercules is on my list to revisit. We came, saw and left again immediately with the City Tour Bus.
Grottes d'Hercule
Grottes d'Hercule (Caves of Hercules) is an archaeological cave complex located in Cape Spartel, Morocco. located 14 kilometers west of Tanger. The cave has two openings, one to the sea and one to land. The sea opening is known as "The Map of Africa." It is believed that the Phoenicians created the sea opening, which is in the shape of Africa when looked at from the sea. There are also some markings on the wall in the shape of eyes, that are said to have been made by the Phoenicians, which make up a map of the local area.
The cave itself is part natural and part man-made. The man-made part was used by Berber people to cut stone wheels from the walls, to make millstones, thus expanding the cave considerably.
The cave was long thought to be bottomless. It was believed that the cave is one end of a subterranean ley tunnel over 24 kilometres long which passes under the Strait of Gibraltar and emerges at St. Michael's Cave in Gibraltar. Legend has it that the Barbary macaques came to the Rock of Gibraltar from Morocco this way.

View from a dead end road Northwest of Bourg-Saint-Maurcie. A cul-de-sac with some beautiful views over Bourg-Saint-Maurice and the valley.
Bourg Saint-Maurice
Bourg-Saint-Maurice is part of the Paradiski ski area (425 km of slopes, 141 lifts, 239 slopes - 12 Green, 132 Blue, 66 Red, 29 Black). Although there is no skiing at this altitude, it is conveniently linked to Arc 1600 by the Arc en Ciel funicular railway and is therefore home to many budget rental properties. Unlike the other villages that make up Les Arcs, Bourg-Saint-Maurice is open all year.
Bourg is also a popular summer destination, as it offers lots of opportunity for lovers of the outdoors and watersports. There is a whitewater slalom course on the Isere river used for international canoe and kayak competitions. The course on the Isere has been host to the ICF world championships and is used by many European teams as a training course in the summer. The course is often changed by the floods that occur during the winter months.
The surrounding mountains are good for walking and mountain biking. They also are a good place for paragliding and hang gliding. Some of Les Arcs ski lifts operate during July and August to get walkers to the higher peaks and you can take mountain bikes up on these. Mountain bikes ( VTT (Vélo Tout Terrain) in French) can be hired in both Bourg and Les Arcs. Some of the high altitude restaurants open in these months, the ones at Pre st Esprit and L'Arpete have small outdoor pools.
The nearest summer glacier skiing is in Tignes (approximately 27 km from Bourg) on the Grande Motte, however due to glacial recession it is now closed at certain times of the year.

Two days in Athenes. A visit to the Acropolis is a must do, but the ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city was closed because of the national holiday of May 1st...the Areopagus Hill (Mars Hill) was the alternative location for this weeks '52-Weeks selfie'...
Location: Areopagus Hill, northwest of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece.
Coordinates: 37°58'21" N 23°43'23" E
Reason: A two day city trip to the capital city of Greece, Athenes. A KLM flight, an Airbnb, a three day transport ticket and nice temperatures. Main reason was Andy's first flight ever. Accomplished with a KLM Boeing 737-800 (PH-BXU), flight KL1575 from Amsterdam (AMS) to Athenes (ATH), depature 12h49, arrival 16h43 (flight time 2h56), flight distance 2,184 km.
Areopagus (Hill): The Areopagus is a prominent rock outcropping located northwest of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. Its English name is the composite form of the Greek name Areios Pagos, translated "Ares Rock" (Ancient Greek: Ἄρειος Πάγος). In classical times, it functioned as the court for trying deliberate homicide, wounding and religious matters, as well as cases involving arson or olive trees. Ares was supposed to have been tried here by the gods for the murder of Poseidon's son Halirrhothius (a typical example of an aetiological myth).

Study of the day:
Les lignes de fuite ne définissent pas un avenir mais un devenir. Il n’y a pas de programme, pas de plan de carrière possible lorsque nous sommes sur une ligne de fuite. On devient soi-même imperceptible et clandestin dans un voyage immobile (...) où le plus grand secret est de n'avoir plus rien à cacher.
The vanishing lines don't define a future but a "becoming". There is no program, no possible plan when we are on a vanishing line. We are becoming imperceptible and clandestine on a motionless travel (...) where the biggest secret is to have nothing to hide.
( Deleuze & Guattari - Mille Plateaux )

BXL_06 [30 points]
One of the space invaders who made it not long during the official invasion wave of Invader and I have never been able to capture the original version of this I -Invader- BXL space invader near the Palais de Justice high above the Marolles neighbourhood.
The city of Brussels has been invaded in 2012. Invader put up in total 40 space invaders during one single wave between 08/03/2012 and 15/03/2012 with a total score of 1130 points. Seven of these invaders are worth 50 points. No 10 or 100 points space invaders in Brussels.
Onscreen FlashInvaders message: NICE!

Peole from the South dream of the beaches of the North...

C'est ça la Belgique !

Whatever is the time
Whatever prevails the wind
Better your absence

Nieuwe Kerk 02/04/2025 15h14
The Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) on Dam Square was undergoing major renovations, and to celebrate the 750th anniversary of the city of Amsterdam, an observation deck was built so visitors could enjoy the view over Dam Square and the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, but especially over the city of Amsterdam.
Here looking to the North with the ADAM Tower on Overhoeks. On the foreground the rooftops of the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal.
