Taken from the rooftop terrace of the Villa looking down the hillside towards Faro beach. Just over the wall between the chimney and the tree on the right you can see part of the MAR Shopping Complex. It reminds me very much of the Trafford Centre Shopping complex in Greater Manchester!
Symonds Yat
A short walk from the main viewing area at Symonds Yat Rock is the alternative view point, much quieter, in fact we were the only ones there. The views of the river Wye I thought were actually better from here. In the distance you should be just able to make out the spire of the church in the village of Goodrich, and below in the valley by the side of the river some cows looking very small.

Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
I hope that the Mt. Whitney Viewpoint, with its rustic wooden sign, will look much the same 50 years from now as it has for the past half-century I’ve been visiting.
Some places, especially those as remote and protected as the lands around Mount Whitney, have a timeless quality to them, resisting significant change.
It's a special experience to witness a place that seems to defy the rapid changes of the modern world, offering a consistent connection to nature over generations
___________________________
Mount Whitney is a prominent peak in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, located in east-central California. It holds the distinction of being the highest point in the contiguous United States, with an elevation generally cited as 14,505 feet (4,421 meters) above sea level.
Mount Whitney straddles the border of Inyo and Tulare counties, and its western slope lies within Sequoia National Park, while its eastern slopes are in Inyo National Forest. It rises dramatically over 10,000 feet above the Owens Valley floor to its east.
Mount Whitney is primarily composed of granite, formed during the Cretaceous period. Its distinctive shape has been sculpted by ancient glaciers, leaving behind cirques, moraines, and thousands of glacial lakes in the surrounding landscape.
Mount Whitney was named in 1864 in honor of Josiah Whitney, who was the state geologist of California and sponsored the geological survey that discovered it. The first recorded ascent was on August 18, 1873, by Charles Begole, Albert Johnson, and John Lucas.
Mount Whitney is remarkably close to Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park, which is the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. This proximity creates a dramatic contrast in elevation within a relatively small geographic area.

Andalusia is located in southern Spain and covers an area of 8 provinces. Andalusia is the second largest autonomous region in Spain. Beautiful Andalucía, the land of olives, oranges, sunflowers, beautiful mountain ranges and valleys, nice white mountain villages with beautiful squares, is a bridge between two continents, Africa and Europe, and is the point where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. There is something for everyone in Andalusia, from culture to beautiful terraces, sights, long beaches, beautiful inland areas with beautiful reservoirs, mountains and nice villages to visit. The capital of Andalusia is Seville. Zahara de la Sierra is certainly one of the most beautiful white villages Pueblos Blancos in Andalusia. The center has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1977. Zahara de la Sierra is nestled on a hilltop surrounded by the turquoise water of the reservoir. At the top, the Moorish castle watches over this whitewashed village and the surrounding area. The most famous landmark is undoubtedly the 13th-century Nasrid castle and its watchtower, the Torre del Homenaje.
The historic ruins and the breathtaking view of Zahara de la Sierra make a walk worthwhile! Zahara can get very hot in the summer months. You would soon desire a dip in fresh water, and that is also possible, a fresh dive, eating in the open air and other activities in this beautiful village! Viewpoint on the hilly area of Zahara de la Sierra and fantastic views of the reservoir and Lijar Mountains!
Andalusië ligt in zuid Spanje en beslaat een gebied van 8 provincies. Andalusië de op één na grootste autonome regio in Spanje en meer dan twee keer zo groot als Nederland. Het mooie Andalusië, het land van de olijven, sinaasappels, zonnebloemen, mooie bergketens en valleien, leuke witte bergdorpen met mooie pleintjes, is een brug tussen twee continenten, Afrika en Europa, en is het punt waar de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee elkaar ontmoeten. Er is voor elk wat wils in Andalusië, van cultuur tot mooie terrasjes, bezienswaardigheden, lange stranden, prachtige binnenlanden met mooie stuwmeren, bergen en leuke dorpen om te bezoeken. De hoofdstad van Andalusië is Sevilla. Zahara de la Sierra is zeker één van de mooiste witte dorpjes ‘Pueblos Blancos’ in Andalusia. Het centrum is UNESCO Werelderfgoed sinds 1977. Zahara de la Sierra ligt genesteld op een heuveltop omgeven door het turkooise water van het reservoir. Bovenaan houdt het moorse kasteel de wacht over dit witgekalkte dorpje en de omgeving. De beroemdste bezienswaardigheid is zonder twijfel het 13de-eeuwse Nasrid kasteel en haar uitkijktoren, de Torre del Homenaje. De historische ruïnes en het adembenemende uitzicht maken een wandeling er de moeite waard! Zahara kan erg warm worden in de zomermaanden. Je zou al snel verlangen naar een duik in fris water, en ook dat kan, een frisse duik, eten in de buitenlucht en andere activiteiten in dit prachtige dorpje! Foto van het reservoir en de heuvelachtige omgeving van Zahara de la Sierra met fantastisch uitzicht op het Lijargebergte.

For a very brief moment there was lull in the crowd at Ooh Aah Point so I managed to get a shot of us. Normally Wilbur won't cooperate with this type of shot!

On our rod trip through the impressing northern Norwegian landscape we took a short break in Narvik, where we went up the mountain by the cable car, the Narvikfjellet to the view point and restaurant for the breathtaking panorama view and to the famous Ofotfjord and surrounding Arctic landscapes.
The new cable car gondola lift in Narvikfjellet opened in 2019
We were four friends travelling in two vans, one VW bus, and one Mercedes bus from Berlin, Germany all the way up to the North Cape in Norway in 1977.
I took the photo in 1977 with an analogue Asahi Pentax SP II (M42) camera and Kodachrome ISO 64 slide film, then digitalised by using a a Nikon Coolscan film scanner and further edited in Photoshop Lightroom.

A pano taken from the viewpoint at Dinorwic. Stuck to the footpath and didn't wander off anywhere 'dangerous' :)

The Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor stretches along Oregon’s south coast for 12 miles north of Brookings. It is a visual feast of sea stacks, cliffs, and secret beaches. Experiencing this was my primary reason for heading this far south. Was amazing.
Samuel H. Boardman was the first superintendent of Oregon State Parks, and a major advocate for preserving coastal beauty for the public. He was also the founder of the town of Boardman in Morrow County, Oregon.
Have a great week!
