Previously unpublished shot from May 2017. One from the "not my best but I'll keep it anyway" collection that I never thought I would post here to Flickr but, thanks to Covid, I find myself having to dig deep. Hope you enjoy!
Even the deer enjoy the view at Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park. It was probable watching the tourist down below. DSC_5040-HDR-1-CR
Bin Zaid
(known previously as Fanar or Qatar Islamic Culture Center and Spiral Mosque) is a cultural organization in Doha, the capital of Qatar. It is a prominent landmark in the city.
The center's most distinguished feature is its mosque, which has a unique minaret design inspired by the 9th-century Great Mosque of Samarra. It remains the tallest mosque in Qatar.
In the foreground is Souq Waqif, a market in the center of Doha. It sells traditional clothing, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. The market also houses restaurants and hookah bars. The market building, built in the mid-20th century, is designed in the traditional Qatari architectural style and was renovated in 2008.
Souq Waqif originally served as a place for trade between Bedouins and locals, primarily goods for livestock. However, the market fell into disrepair in the 1990s, and in 2003, much of it was destroyed by fire. This prompted a government restoration program to preserve the market’s architectural and historical identity. Buildings dating from the 1950s were demolished, and older structures were renovated.

Die irische Stadt an der Westküste Irlands wird sehr gern von Touristen besucht. In der Mitte des Wild Atlantic Way gelegen, ist Galway berühmt für künstlerische Kreativität und eine ansteckende, lebhafte Atmosphäre, die besonders bei den vielen Festivals und Veranstaltungen zu spüren ist. Von Musik über Pferderennen bis zu Literatur und Austern – in Galway weiß man, wie man feiert.
Das ganze Jahr über herrscht lebhafter Trubel, der die Stadt zu etwas ganz Besonderem macht. Kein Wunder, dass die Menschen hier jedes Wochenende in die großartigen Bars, die traditionellen Pubs und die erstklassigen Restaurants strömen.
Ruhe findet der Besucher abseits der Touristenmeile in den Gotteshäusern...
ich habe den Moment der STILLE hier sehr genossen ;-)

Fresh home from another fantastic trip to Iceland leading Welshot Imaging's annual workshop trip there, this time along the length of the North coast.
I say fresh, though the lack of sleep and all the sightseeing has left me worn out...!
My good friend Helen Iles stood on the edge of Godafoss, in her element :-) Brilliant week all round.
Drove what seemed like all switchbacks from coastal Menton to get to this French mountaintop town, to sightsee and have a lunch featuring wild boar. Even with overcast skies, we could still appreciate the beauty of this secluded Maritime Alps, Provençal medieval town.
Doing a little sightseeing on our vacation to Crystal Cove.
