Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, belonging to the municipality of Molenwaard, in the province South Holland, about 15 km east of Rotterdam. Kinderdijk is situated in a polder in the Alblasserwaard. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best known Dutch tourist sites. They have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.

This might look like a piece of art, but it isn't. In fact it is the pier for the ferry from Vlieland to Texel, both Waddenislands.
The small ferry only runs from the end of april till the end of september.
In the wintertime the pier is apparently partly dismantled.
To be honest, I don't know if the tide is extra low now, but the pier looks like it stands in the middle of the sand plain !
Probably made from driftwood.

"The Speicherstadt (lit. city of warehouses, meaning warehouse district) in Hamburg, Germany is the largest warehouse district in the world where the buildings stand on timber-pile foundations, oak logs, in this particular case. It is located in the port of Hamburg—within the HafenCity quarter—and was built from 1883 to 1927. It was awarded the status of UNESCO World Heritage Site on 5 July 2015." (from Wikipedia)

The glasswort blooms beautifully red in autumn and the water of the Wadden Sea flows with the tides through the water channels. Now it is low tide. The mudflats are falling dry.

Belgio, Fiandre Occidentali, Bruges, Primavera 2015
Bruges è la capitale delle Fiandre occidentali, in Belgio. Il centro storico della città è un importante patrimonio dell'umanità dell'UNESCO. Insieme ad alcune città del nord costituite da canali, come Amsterdam e Stoccolma, si è meritata l’appellativo di "Venezia del Nord". Un tempo, si è considerata la città commerciale leader nel mondo. Nel corso del 15° secolo lo Zwin, la via d'acqua che collega Bruges al mare, si insabbiò. Quando la sede della Lega Anseatica fu spostata ad Anversa alla fine del 15° secolo, molti mercanti la seguirono, lasciando case abbandonate, strade deserte e canali vuoti. Bruges, in precedenza centro commerciale d'Europa, ha dormito per 400 anni. La città è lentamente emersa dal suo sonno nel 19 ° secolo, scoperta dai turisti che passavano nei dintorni diretti verso il campo di battaglia di Waterloo vicino a Bruxelles.
Bruges is the capital of the West Flanders in Belgium. The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam and Stockholm, it is sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North". At one time, it was considered the "chief commercial city" of the world. During the 15th century the Zwin, the waterway linking Bruges to the sea, silted up. When the headquarters of the Hanseatic League moved from Bruges to Antwerp at the end of the 15th century, many merchants followed, leaving abandoned houses, deserted streets and empty canals. Bruges, a former hub of Europe, slept for 400 years. The city slowly emerged from its slumber in the early 19th century as tourists passed through en route to the Waterloo battlefield near Brussels.

Meteora (Greece) het andere Griekenland, een plek tussen Hemel en aarde en een indrukwekkende plek
Meteora (Grieks: Μετέωρα) zijn de op hoge rotspilaren gebouwde kloosters. Door eeuwenlange wind- en watererosie (ooit was de Thessalische vlakte een binnenzee) hebben de rotsformaties hun specifieke en moeilijk bedwingbare uiterlijk gekregen.

Meteora (Greek: Μετέωρα) are the monasteries built on high rock pillars. By centuries of wind and water erosion (once the Thessaly plain was an inland sea), the rock formations have their specific and difficult bedwingbare received appearance.

Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated in the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. It lies on the River Stour.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.
The Park Güell is a public park system composed of gardens and architectonic elements located on Carmel Hill, in Barcelona (Spain). Carmel Hill belongs to the mountain range of Collserola — the Parc del Carmel is located on the northern face. Park Güell is located in La Salut, a neighborhood in the Gràcia district of Barcelona. With urbanization in mind, Eusebi Güell assigned the design of the park to Antoni Gaudí, a renowned architect and the face of Catalan modernism. The park was built between 1900 and 1914 and was officially opened as a public park in 1926. In 1984, UNESCO declared the park a World Heritage Site under “Works of Antoni Gaudí”.
Valparaíso is a port city on Chile’s Pacific coast. It's known for its steep funiculars and colorful, clifftop homes. La Sebastiana, the quirky former residence of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, is now a museum with far-reaching Pacific views. During the 19th century, an influx of European immigrants left their mark on the city’s architecture and cultural institutions, many of which congregate around downtown’s Plaza Sotomayor.

The Ironbridge, which crosses the River Severn, was the first cast iron bridge ever built (1779) and the area around it is regarded as the "Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution." Remains of the original Coalbrookdale factory that built the bridge and other important features associated with the start of the industrial revolution can be seen at museums in the UNESCO World-Heritage Ironbridge George area.
Das historische Jeddah (UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe) zeigt noch die traditionelle Architektur, die einst in Städten an beiden Küsten des Roten Meeres üblich war und von der ausserhalb Saudi-Arabiens nur noch wenige Überreste erhalten sind. Der Stil zeichnet sich durch die imposanten Turmhäuser aus, die mit grossen hölzernen Roshan-Fenstererkern (Maschrabbiya) verziert sind und im späten 19. Jahrhundert von den Handelseliten der Stadt gebaut wurden, sowie durch niedrigere Korallensteinhäuser, Moscheen, Ribat-s, Suqs und kleine öffentliche Plätze, die zusammen einen lebendigen Raum bilden. Seit der 3. Kalif Othman ibn Affan Jeddah im 7. Jahrhundert n. Chr. zum offiziellen Hafen von Mekka machte, galt dieses für muslimische Pilger als « Tor nach Mekka » (Quelle: whc.unesco.org).
Historic Jeddah (UNESCO world heritage site) is an outstanding reflection of the Red sea architectural tradition, a construction style once common to cities on both coasts of the Red sea, of which only scant vestiges are preserved outside the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the nominated property. The style is characterized by the imposing tower houses decorated by large wooden Roshan (mashrabiya) built in the late 19th century by the city`s mercantile elites, and also by lower coral stone houses, mosques, ribat-s, suqs and small public squares that together compose a vibrant space. Historic Jeddah had a symbolic role as a gate to Makkah for Muslim pilgrims since the 7th century AH when the 3rd Caliph Othman ibn Affan made it the official port of Makkah (source: whc.unesco.org).

The Chinguetti Mosque is a mosque in Chinguetti, Mauritania. It was an ancient center of worship created by the founders of the oasis city of Chinguetti in the Adrar region of Mauritania in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. The minaret of this ancient structure is supposed to be the second oldest in continuous use anywhere in the Muslim world.
In the 1970s the mosque was restored through a UNESCO effort, but it, along with the city itself, continues to be threatened by intense desertification.
In 1996 the old town of Chinguetti was added to the Unesco world heritage list, together with the old towns of Ouadane, Tichitt and Oualata.
In Sunni Islam, Chinguetti is generally regarded as the 7th holy city.

The Monostor Fortress - the largest modern fortress in Central Europe - was built between 1850 and 1871. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neoclassical military monument is a fascinating sight with its huge walls of precisely hewn stone, the 3-4 metre thick earthen ramparts covering the defences and its network of underground passages (kazamata) several kilometres long.
Its monumental dimensions are evidenced by the following figures: The fortress covers 25 hectares, the total area including the firing ranges is 70 hectares, the floor area of the buildings is 25 680 m2 and the number of rooms is 640.
After the fortress was built, it served generations of soldiers of the Hungarian Defence Forces. Its tasks included the defence of the central fortress (North - Komárom) and the control of shipping on the Danube. It was never used in combat and served mainly as a training centre and weapons depot. During the First World War it was used as a conscription and training centre. During the Second World War, the 22nd Infantry Regiment had its headquarters at Fort Monostor, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments were stationed there. After the Second World War.
Between 1945 and 1990, the Red Army's Army Group South set up the largest ammunition depot in Central Europe in the fort. With their withdrawal, the military function of the fortress ended forever.
Today the fort is a popular destination with a military history exhibition, Cold War vehicles, a bread museum, a boat exhibition and numerous events.
Well, I say life, but on close examination I am unable to see anyone. There are several cars in view and a certain amount of washing hanging from balconies but no people in sight.
Ragusa and its sister town of Ibla date back to the late 17th century and have both been built on hill tops with every conceivable square yard of land utilised. They are part of the Noto Baroque region of UNESCO heritage sites to be found in South Eastern Sicily and are a fabulous location to wonder around. From time to time you even bump into a few residents.
It does look pretty at a first glance but give me my old house with its little patch of lawn and flower beds any time.
I head off for the hills to mountain guide in a moment so will be absent from Flickr for a few days.

New Lanark is a small 18th- century village set in a sublime Scottish landscape where the philanthropist and Utopian idealist Robert Owen moulded a model industrial community in the early 19th century. The imposing cotton mill buildings, the spacious and well-designed workers' housing, and the dignified educational institute and school still testify to Owen's humanism.
