Panorama Afsluitdijk
De Afsluitdijk is de waterkering tussen Noord-Holland en Friesland, die het IJsselmeer afsluit van de Waddenzee. Hieraan ontleent de dam zijn naam. De Afsluitdijk is belangrijk om Nederland tegen overstromingen te beschermen.
De Afsluitdijk is een onderdeel van de Zuiderzeewerken. In 1927 werd begonnen met de aanleg. In 1932 werd het laatste sluitgat, de Vlieter, gesloten. Een jaar later werd de dijk opengesteld voor het wegverkeer. Op de plaats waar de Afsluitdijk werd gedicht, werd een monument opgericht, het Vlietermonument.
Aan beide kanten van de Afsluitdijk liggen sluizen voor de scheepvaart en spuisluizen. Tegen Noord-Holland zijn het de Stevinsluizen. Op Kornwerderzand, op ruim 4 km van Friesland, liggen de Lorentzsluizen. De hele dijk is 32,5 km lang, het waterkerende deel ervan 30 km.
Over de Afsluitdijk loopt een verkeersweg, die beide provincies met elkaar verbindt. Deze weg is onderdeel van de Rijksweg 7. De weg ligt niet op het hoogste punt van de dijk maar ten zuiden daarvan, zodat de Waddenzee vanaf de weg niet zichtbaar is. Langs de weg ligt een fietspad.
In Cienfuegos, Cuba, we went for siteseeing through the Parque José Martí. Behind the arch of triumph, the only one on cuba, you can see massive clouds arriving. 30 minutes later, we were sitting under umbrellas on the terrace of a small restaurant, heavy rain from above but nice relaxing reggae music from some young cubanians sitting next to us.
Vyšehrad is a historical fort located in the city of Prague, Czech Republic. It was probably built in the 10th century, on a hill over the Vltava River. Situated within the castle is the Basilica of St Peter and St Paul, as well as the Vyšehrad Cemetery, containing the remains of many famous people from Czech history, among them Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana, Karel Čapek, and Alphonse Mucha. It also contains Prague's oldest surviving building, the Rotunda of St Martin from the 11th century.
The Kapellbrücke (literally, Chapel Bridge) is a covered wooden footbridge spanning diagonally across the Reuss River in the city of Lucerne in central Switzerland. Named after the nearby St. Peter's Chapel, the bridge is unique since it contains a number of interior paintings dating back to the 17th century, although many of them were destroyed along with most of the centuries-old bridge in a 1993 fire. Subsequently restored, the Kapellbrücke is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe as well as the world's oldest surviving truss bridge. It serves as the city's symbol and as one of Switzerland's main tourist attractions.

This picture was taken from the walking bridge over the Thames. It was a beautiful day in London with the weather not too Hot. We had just finished watching my niece graduate from college with a master's degree in anamation. Here is some information about the building from the website:
www.britannica.com/topic/Houses-of-Parliament-buildings-L...
Houses of Parliament, also called Palace of Westminster, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the seat of the bicameral Parliament, including the House of Commons and the House of Lords. It is located on the left bank of the river Thames in the borough of Westminster, London.
The tourists come in droves, aboard buses, bicycles and camper vans. They stand at the water’s edge in awe of the icebergs floating before them - some as white as snow, others radiating a deep blue. They gasp when a chunk breaks off and topples into the chilly turquoise water.
Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon in South-East Iceland is one of the country’s top attractions. It is also a vivid warning of the glacier’s predicted disappearance, a devastating consequence of climate change in a nation where these slow-moving rivers of ice are a cultural and social touchstone.
BNSF SD70ACe 9211 brings up the rear markers as an empty I&M Kincaid coal train slowly works its way north towards Springfield on CN's Gilman Subdivision.
My wife and I were wandering around the countryside east of Chatham siteseeing when this train appeared. My wife was gracious enough to indulge my desire to make a quick trip over to the CN mainline to shoot the rear DPU.

Another pick of the Taj. I had friends in India with me this time and one of them hadnt been to the Taj Mahal yet, and despite the 16 hour road trip from Delhi (4hr there, 6 back and 6 hours siteseeing in Agra) of uncomfortable roads, I jumped at the chance to photograph this site again. Last time I was there, the Taj was barely visible from this vantage point as it was incredibly smoggy. When we got here the sky was a soft blue and the lighting was mild. I think the results were well worth the trip.
