One of the most beautiful places in France, without a doubt, impressive when you consider just how many wonders - both man-made and natural - the country has to offer. It's been rightfully listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The first church was founded on the island back in 709, although little of that building remains. Since then there's been a religious presence on the island, and it has been a place of pilgrimage - previously of religion, latterly of tourists ;)
Oddly it was converted into a prison after the French Revolution - and only reconverted again at the end of the 19th century.
Although the buildings are impressive, my strongest memory of the place will be the tides. This shot was taken just a few minutes after the tide had started to rise, during which time the water had already risen several inches. About ten minutes after I took this shot this spot was totally submerged! The water actually comes up as a visible and audible wave. Let's just say there's a very good reason why there's a tidal power station just along the bay...
Interestingly the same group of monks went on to form another St Michael's Mount in Cornwall - more on that here
The Official Tourism Website of Mont Saint-Michel contains more information in a variety of languages too :)

I love the story of this product almost as much as I love to eat it. It is made in the USA, but by a family whose patriarch and company founder, David Tran, arrived here in 1978 as one of the “Boat People” who escaped Viet Nam via hair-raising adventures on a variety of water craft. In fact, the company name comes from the Taiwanese freighter, Huey Fong, on which David and 3,316 other refugees traveled.

Just 2 years later, in 1980, the company was founded in Southern California, and according to Wikipedia, sales were $60 million in 2012. The company has never advertised, depending on word of mouth. I am not sure how widely its use has spread, but it is ubiquitous in the San Francisco Bay Area where I live. I discovered it in the early 1980’s, and I always have bottles of both the garlic sauce and the sriracha in my refrigerator.

Two million per year - Dufferin Terrace
No visit to Quebec City is complete without a stroll along the Dufferin Terrace, or at least that’s what I’ve always thought. On this visit, I enjoyed a coffee on one of the benches along the Dufferin Terrace, overlooking the St Lawrence River and the [massive] cruise ship disgorging passengers. I wasn’t alone, the boardwalk was packed with residents and visitors, and seemingly, thousands of cruise ship passengers frenetically taking selfies along the boardwalk. Upon finishing my coffee, I decided to return at sunrise - I suspected that the light would be beautiful, and as importantly, the Terrace would be quiet. Happily, I wasn’t wrong!
[Side note, during each of the three days that I was in Quebec City, cruise ships came and went - and these were not small cruise ships. While chatting with a woman who works as a tour guide in a part-time capacity she told me that one day last week, 20,000 cruise ship passengers disembarked on the same day. For anyone who knows Old Quebec, this doesn’t seem sustainable (geographically, it’s not a large area). I honestly don’t know how I would feel if I were a resident of Old Quebec… While tourism brings tourists (obviously!), and tourists typically come with money, what effect does this have on the quality of life for the residents? It’s an interesting dilemma].

“Two million people a year stroll along this boardwalk named for Lord Dufferin, a governor general of Canada who fell madly in love with Québec. For many years this extraordinary site was the exclusive haunt of a privileged few. But after its public inauguration in 1838, the boardwalk was such a hit with Quebecers and tourists alike that it had to be extended twice.
This first boardwalk—Durham Terrace—was opened in September 1838. The 50-metre-long by 15-metre-wide structure followed the contours of what was once Château Saint-Louis. A wooden railing was installed riverside. The site was an immediate hit, and the dirt surface was soon replaced by planks. It was a place where people gathered, went to be entertained…and came back. So much so that the boardwalk had to be lengthened by 35 metres in 1854. Streetlamps and an iron railing were also added. A favourite of strollers, Durham Terrace was already boosting tourism in Québec. However, twenty years later, Lord Dufferin had even bigger plans.
Lord Dufferin arrived in Québec in 1872 to take up the job of governor general. He was immediately smitten with the city and managed to halt the demolition of the fortifications undertaken by municipal engineer Charles Baillairgé and other decision-makers with a view to modernization. However, Dufferin liked Baillairgé’s idea in 1869 to extend Durham Terrace. The two men spearheaded Durham Terrace’s expansion from 85 to 430 metres in length. The iron railing was kept and made to run the length of the boardwalk. Five green-and-white-roofed gazebos went up along the cape, as well as a music gazebo on the city side. Lord Dufferin would lay the first stone before leaving Canada in 1878. The new boardwalk, renamed Dufferin Terrace in his honour, was officially opened on June 28, 1879. It has not changed since.”

"I've always been an ironic dreamer, unfaithful to my inner promises.
Like a complete outsider, a casual observer of whom I thought I was,
I've always enjoyed watching my daydreams go down in defeat.
I was never convinced of what I believed in.
I filled my hands with sand, called it gold, and opened them up to let it slide through.
Words were my only truth.
When the right words were said, all was done; the rest was the sand that had always been."
Fernando Pessoa (The Book of Disquiet)

My flickr friend Dinesh and Paul gave me these lovely Testimonials
Reading them... brought a huge smile to my face. :) Thankyou Both. :)
When we go through the motions mechanically... without living "in the moment"... without revelling in the tiny great moments of life... we wither in Dispair.
Even sight of a withering leaf can bring a joy to your life. So enjoy!! Live the moment no matter what you do... :)

John is one of those "how can you work that many hours and still be standing?" people who makes sure the show actually goes on (and not just while the show goes on), and an amazingly cool guy, besides. He makes sure the fans can hear, and the musicians can hear what they are playing (if he's doing monitors).
Seen here running FOH for Kirk Joseph's "Tuba Tuba" show, at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, 2012. We completely lost count of how many shows we saw him at, including the one where he was just there to hear the band (and NOT working), and ended up bailing out the tech crew at one of the clubs on Frenchmen.

El desierto de Tabernas, localizado en la provincia de Almería (España), a unos 30 km al norte de la capital, Almería es actualmente Paraje Natural con una extensión de 280 km2.
Fue la principal zona de rodaje de películas en la provincia de Almería cuando esta era conocida como «El Hollywood europeo» en los años 60 y 70. El rodaje de películas en este desierto comenzó a finales de los años 50, siendo el momento de mayor número de rodajes los años 60 y 70. El declive comenzó en los años 80, aunque se seguía rodando un buen número de películas llegando incluso a rodarse unas cuantas superproducciones.
En la actualidad se ruedan muchos videoclips y anuncios de televisión, aunque de vez en cuando sigue siendo escenario para alguna película o serie de televisión aprovechando el fotogénico paisaje del desierto almeriense y gracias a los poblados del oeste que todavía siguen en pie. Desde finales de los años 1950 hasta la actualidad, se han rodado en este desierto más de 300 películas, la mayoría westerns.
El desierto de Tabernas fue la «capital» del spaghetti western o western italiano de los años 60 y 70, aunque también se rodaron muchos westerns estadounidenses tras el éxito de las películas del director italiano Sergio Leone. Los westerns más famosos rodados en este desierto son los de Sergio Leone con la mítica Trilogía del dólar con Clint Eastwood como protagonista: Por un puñado de dólares (1964), La muerte tenía un precio (1965) y El bueno, el feo y el malo (1966). También destacan las películas Hasta que llegó su hora -protagonizada por Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Jason Robards y Claudia Cardinale- y Sol rojo, que se rodó parcialmente en el desierto de Tabernas y en la que participaron Charles Bronson y Toshiro Mifune.
Pero además de westerns, en el desierto de Tabernas se han rodado muchas películas de otros géneros, entre las que destacan: Lawrence de Arabia(1962), Cleopatra (1963), Patton (1970), Conan el Bárbaro (1982) o Indiana Jones y la última cruzada (1989). (Wikipedia)
No Easter trip to the US would be complete without a visit to Tehachapi mountains / loop & 2000 was no exception. Despite these being taken on Easter Saturday, there were lots of long / heavy freights & not a rail-replacement bus service to be seen. 22 years later, this Easter is not looking so exciting, with me & two sick cats home alone!!!
SP 9809, 9811 & UP 9400 exited Tunnel 10 whilst climbing the pass at c1225 on 22/04/00 with a manifest / mixed frieight for Mojave, which was formed of 46 wagons & no, the track isn't a Network Rail training site, but the site of many derailments, due to empty centre-beams (lumber) wagons, in the middle of heavy trains taking the shortest route between A & B.

Finally, at the sunset time I got my destination. I crossed the whole alpine arc riding my Aprilia shiver to reach this place, but it worth every single drop of sweat. Sleeping at 2600m slm into the refuge meeting people of every part of the Europ is an experience without price.

Latin Name: Erithacus rubecula - European Robin
The European robin, known simply as the robin or robin redbreast in the British Isles, is a small insectivorous passerine bird, specifically a chat, that was formerly classified as a member of the thrush family but is now considered to be an Old World flycatcher.
The UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familiar throughout the year and especially at Christmas! Males and females look identical, and young birds have no red breast and are spotted with golden brown. Robins sing nearly all year round and despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders. They will sing at night next to street lights.
They eat worms, seeds, fruits, insects and other invertebrates.
Their measurements are:
Length: 14cm
Wingspan: 20-22cm
Weight: 14-21g
