Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of land lying between the Adriatic Sea and Italy's border with Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin and Slavic cultures. In 2009, it had a population of about 205,000 and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trieste province.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague). In the fin-de-siecle period, it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. However, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Trieste's union to Italy after World War I led to some decline of its "Mittel-European" cultural and commercial importance. Enjoying an economic revival during the 1930s and throughout the Cold War, Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.

Photographed the Razorbills on Gull Island part of the Witless bay Ecological Reserve on the coast of the Avalon Peninsula in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
The striking black-and-white Razorbill nests in cliffside colonies overlooking the ocean, often among murres, fulmars, and kittiwakes. It uses its sharp, hatchet-shaped bill to catch fish underwater, sometimes diving to 330 feet. Chicks leave the nest before they even have flight feathers, jumping from their cliff ledges into the water far below. The male parent follows along, minding the chick in the water until it can forage for itself. In winter, Razorbills gather in large flocks to feed, often fairly near to shore.

Kalecik is a town and district of Ankara Province in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. Kalecik Bridge is on the Kızılırmak river and 7 km. south-east of Kalecik town center. The length of the bridge extending in the north-east south-west direction is 136 meters and the deck is 3.4 meters wide and consists of seven arches with round arches. The last two arches in the south-west direction are wider and higher than the other eyes with 13.57 meters and 14.88 meters openings; The last arch-eye in the north-east direction is below the soil layer in this section. The four arched feet, which are already in the water, sit in a rectangular prismatic massive wheelbase foundation; In the direction of the upstream, there is a triangular prismatic body and a pyramidal basin. The only written evidence proving the history of the bridge known for its recoverable repair is a five-line peninsula dated to the south-west end and between the stones on the side wall and dated to H. 1275 (M.1858 / 59). Although there is no written or visual information about it, it is likely that the first building was constructed in the Seljuk period and in the 13th century.

En Duruelo de la Sierra se puede encontrar uno de los parajes más impresionantes de la provincia de Soria: Castroviejo, sin duda su más firme emblema.

Los amplios prados otorgan al viajero un relajante lugar para realizar una parada entre bosques de hoja perenne y helechos, pero lo más importante e indispensable de esta visita es sin lugar a dudas, contemplar las vistas panorámicas desde su mirador. Ante los ojos se abre un auténtico ‘mar de pinos’ hasta el horizonte.

Halong Bay, Quảng Ninh Province, Vietnam.
At 9PM went for a walk with a friend to explore the area along the river. It was 15F (-9c) and 5.5 hours past sunset – not the best time for shooting, but I only had one night in town so wanted to make the most of it.
This is the Szczecin Province Office built in 1911 that sits upon a small hill and overlooks the river.
Villafàfila - Province de Zamora - Espagne
Ces petites Chouettes nichent dans les ruines d'un village abandonné dans le Parc Naturel des lagunes de Villafàfila.
Très curieuses, elles étaient intriguées par l'extrémité du téléobjectif qui dépassait de la cape de camouflage.

This photo was a pivotal photo for me. Even though it is not as excellent or as sharp of a photo that I wish, wish, wish that I had taken, I recognize that the experience itself will always be something that I will cherish. How many people can say that they spent a half hour with a Lynx in the wild?
I think that every photographer probably has a “bucket list” of photos they would like to achieve. I too, have realized that I just might have one as well. I would love to photograph the Aurora Borealis, a Lion, an Eagle with a fish, an Owl with it’s supper, Lightning streaking across the sky, BigFoot, (Yup, I think I saw it - but that is another story), a Whale breaching, a Puffin, a Cougar, a Wolf, another Fox (I don’t want to get greedy though), an enchanted forest, deep in the woods with a mist rolling in, and perhaps, a Polar Bear - though I think I am done with bears for a while…
Oh, and I want to drive across Canada and take an amazing landscape that represents each province.
Well, I guess that’s it - for now anyway. Gotta go. My battery is charged and I have so much to see and so little time to get it into my camera…
