Narikala Fortress, one of the oldest and most striking landmarks in Tbilisi, dates back to the 4th century, originally built by the Persians as a defensive stronghold. Perched on a hill, the fortress was later expanded by Arabs and Mongols, and has withstood the test of time. Walking through the ancient ruins, you can sense the centuries of history and the stories embedded in its stones. The view from the top of Narikala is breathtaking, offering a panoramic vista over Tbilisi. From this vantage point, you can see the winding Kura River, the iconic Metekhi Church perched on a cliff, and the towering Sameba Cathedral, one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. The old city below, with its charming wooden balconies and narrow streets, adds to the beauty of this historic cityscape.
At the base of the fortress lies the National Botanical Garden of Georgia, a peaceful green oasis where visitors can unwind amidst exotic plant species, serene pathways, and flowing streams. With its waterfalls and lush vegetation, the botanical garden offers a beautiful contrast to the ancient fortress above, providing a tranquil retreat that harmoniously blends nature with the city’s historical landscape.

Narikala-fort, een van de oudste en meest indrukwekkende monumenten van Tbilisi, heeft een rijke geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de 4e eeuw, toen het door de Perzen werd opgericht als verdedigingsbolwerk. Het fort, strategisch gelegen op een heuvel, werd later versterkt door de Arabieren en Mongolen en heeft sindsdien de tand des tijds doorstaan. Terwijl je door de ruïnes wandelt, voel je de eeuwenoude geschiedenis en de verhalen die in de stenen verborgen liggen. Het uitzicht vanaf de top van Narikala is adembenemend en biedt een schilderachtig panorama over Tbilisi. Van hieruit zie je de kronkelende Kura-rivier, het iconische Metekhi-kerkje op een klif, en de grote Sameba-kathedraal, een van de grootste orthodoxe kerken ter wereld, die het stadsbeeld domineert. Je kunt ook de oude stad bewonderen met haar karakteristieke huizen met houten balkons en smalle straatjes vol geschiedenis. Aan de voet van Narikala ligt de Nationale Botanische Tuin van Georgië, een serene, groene oase waar bezoekers kunnen ontspannen te midden van exotische plantensoorten, rustige paden, en stromende beekjes. De botanische tuin, met zijn watervallen en dichte vegetatie, biedt een prachtig contrast met het historische fort dat erboven uitrijst. Het is de perfecte plek voor een rustige wandeling, waarbij de natuur zich harmonieus vermengt met het historische landschap van de stad.

wildfires have filled the skies with smoke and particulates are altering the evening skies and colors. liked how this sunset had half yellow and half pink Sun slipping into dusk.
With every kiss stolen amidst the city lights of Paris, we script our own fairytale, etched in the stars above.
It took 723 steps to catch the perfect view of the sunset from Mount Tapyas. After more than ten years of not visiting Coron, I knew I am finally home away from home! Have a great weekend , my dear friends!

Ein Sonnenuntergang wie man ihn nicht oft sieht, konnte ich bei Höhefeld fotografieren. Durch die schöne Wolkenbildung gab es für ein paar Minuten ein herrliches Farbenspiel der Natur.
..........to get this shot and get back to my car. A sunset from Blackwell Forest Preserve, Warrenville, Illinois.
Have a great day everyone :-)
Casting a golden shimmer across the water and turning the bridge into a silhouette of steel and light. Watching it Glow felt like standing inside a painting

Perched on a vast hilltop in Chittorgarh, the majestic Chittorgarh Fort stands as one of India’s most powerful symbols of valor and sacrifice. Spread across nearly 700 acres, it served as the historic capital of the Sisodia Rajputs of Mewar and has witnessed some of the fiercest battles in Indian history. Believed to have origins in the 7th century, the fort evolved over time into a formidable stronghold, protected by massive stone walls, seven grand gateways, and an intricate system of water reservoirs that sustained life during long sieges.
Inside the fort lies a rich tapestry of history, architecture, and legend. The towering Vijay Stambh rises as a tribute to victory and pride, while the elegant Padmini Palace echoes stories of honor and intrigue. The fort is also closely associated with Rani Padmini and the heroic tales of jauhar, as well as the spiritual legacy of Meera Bai. Walking through its expansive grounds, one feels a deep connection to its past, where every stone carries echoes of courage, devotion, and an unyielding spirit that continues to define its identity.
This photograph captures a striking view of the Regierungsviertel in Berlin, Germany, bathed in the warm hues of a setting sun. The building's iconic glass dome is prominently featured, reflecting the vibrant colors of the sky. The surrounding water creates a mirror-like effect, enhancing the overall composition. The scene is peaceful and serene, evoking a sense of awe and wonder.
I always wonder how trees can stay up at all when they get into leaning this far over. They are big trees and their roots are probably really deep in the ground, but still..........
Shot this at the Fox River in Geneva, Illinois, from the Mill Race Inn parking lot. Everytime I am out there, I drive through that lot hoping to catch a good shot. Last night, just before the sun got too low to reflect at all on this water, I believe I caught a good moment...lol. I think the windchill was about 100 below zero at this time, too. Well, not that cold, but sure felt that way. What a wicked winter we are having, eh? Its going to warm up though. it will be near 40F by the end of the week! Break out the volleyballs, beers, and grills....lol.
Channahon Parkway State Park, Channahon, Illinois. Like most forest preserves, they close off half the roads so they dont have to plow, so, I had to park at the top of the hill behind me. Wasnt so bad hiking down to this location and I was pleased to find this spot with the water flowing, the snow on the ground, the sun setting, BUT, when I got the shots I wanted, I had to hike uphill, in that snow, back to my car.
The temperature when I shot this was 16F.
And, I didnt really get the shots I wanted. The sun needed to be much more "set" than this, but I didnt want to be hiking back to the car in the dark. It feels so good to be home where it is warm. Tomorrow is another day though. *grin*.
Photographed at golden hour from Maihama Coast Boardwalk (浦安海岸舞浜地区遊歩道), this sunset scene frames Mt. Fuji behind Tokyo Gate Bridge. The fiery orange sky lit up Tokyo Bay as the sun dropped behind the mountains. A rare alignment of Tokyo’s modern skyline and Japan’s most iconic peak.
