A viewpoint of beautiful Vernazza (there are about 10 million pictures on the web taken at this exact spot, many of them featuring people wearing straw hats).
For a photo story of my visit to the Cinque Terre:
On my fifth day the weather predictions for coming days were awful and I decided to go into the direction of Roros (and later Trondheim), but first I drove along the E27 because it was said to be very scenic. I think that might be true, but with all the rain and darkness, I probably missed the most.
This amazingly beautiful viewpoint was spoiled (in a way), because with sun this is truly spectacular (www.nasjonaleturistveger.no/en/routes/rondane), and it crossed my mind many times I should go back if the weather in Norway turned better and I was around. Unfortunately it didn't so one good excuse to go back!
Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).
Mt. Walker, located in the Olympic National Forest, is the only peak facing Puget Sound that has a road to its summit. It is densely covered with 100 year-old Douglas-fir trees and Native Pacific rhododendrons. The south viewpoint is at an elevation 2805 feet.
The Hood Canal and the nearer Dabob and Quilcene Bays are the waterways in the foreground and Puget Sound is in the distance. Seattle, 28 miles away, is faintly visible at the horizon
Alot of people stop on the corner between Glenuig and Roshven. On a clear, sunny day it is a fantastic viewpoint either out to the small Isles of Muck, Eigg and Rum or inland up Loch Ailort with the mountains on either side. Too often the view is stunning but I can't decide whether to stop and take a picture. It's easy to say it will look this gorgeous any other day and drive on by. Today, with a bit of extra wind I just had to have a go at a panoramic shot (4 images)
For those of us who are hikers, we're always looking for that higher ground to afford a better view. A group of house sparrows were hanging together in a bush by the path, with one large rock very close to the path. These sparrows would take turns flying over to the rock and perching for a bit, then trading off with another.
Back to my trip to Italy last September - I hadn’t finished with my pictures from there but, as usual, had travelled somewhere else afterwards and forgot about them! This is the viewpoint of beautiful Vernazza.

I can never resist a short stop at the roadside viewpoint on the road from Windermere to Bowness. it must be one of the most photographed scenes in England. The fells range from Wetherlam on the left, through Crinkle Crags and Bowfell to the Langdales on the right.
Loving trying to capture the personality of this beautiful Toucan; a happy fly about freely bird in the Assiniboine Zoo's Tropical House. He is very inquisitive and he loves to pose for certain people, lol. Imagine having to look down a beak the length of almost half your body and eat and drink and carry on like nothing is out of the ordinary.
