Few cities in the world capture the imagination like Bangkok. Ornate palaces where royal processions take place, Buddhist temples where monks chant ancient temples, canals leading to a maze of water markets, night bazaars that never sleep - have long proved to be a strong magnet for travelers. In this sprawling metropolis, the Baiyoke II Tower is the tallest building in Bangkok. The tower is 88 stories high and is 302 meters high. The observation deck on the 84th floor offers stunning 360-degree views of the Bangkok skyline. There is also a restaurant on the 77th floor where visitors can dine while taking in the city views. The building also offers accommodation in the form of hotel rooms and suites on the upper floors. Furthermore, shops and conference rooms are available for business travelers and events. The building is well worth a visit for its impressive height and panoramic views of Bangkok. Bangkok is Thailand's capital and largest city and has a population in 2023 of approximately 11 million people in the city itself and more than 17 million including its metropolitan area. From the highest floor, it is possible to overlook the city, including the Menam River and the Gulf of Thailand in the distance. The building offers a unique view of Bangkok and the surrounding area, making it a popular tourist attraction.
Baiyoke Tower 1 in Bangkok is the older building and was originally Thailand's tallest building when it was completed in 1993. It has 42 floors and a height of 151 meters. Baiyoke Tower 2 is the newer building and was completed in 1998. It has 88 floors and a height of 302 meters. The Baiyoke Sky Hotel is the tallest hotel in Thailand. This hotel features a revolving rooftop terrace, an observation deck and 7 dining options. Baiyoke Sky Hotel is located in the central Pathumwan area of Bangkok. From the highest floor, it is possible to overlook the city, including the Menan River and the Gulf of Thailand in the distance. The building offers a unique view of Bangkok and the surrounding area, making it a popular tourist attraction.
Weinig steden ter wereld spreken zo tot de verbeelding als Bangkok. Sierlijke paleizen waar koninklijke processies plaatsvinden, boeddhistische tempels waar monniken oude tempels zingen, kanalen die naar een doolhof van watermarkten leiden, nachtbazaars die nooit slapen - zijn al lang een sterke magneet voor reizigers gebleken. In deze uitgestrekte metropool is de Baiyoke II Tower is het hoogste gebouw in Bangkok. De toren is 88 verdiepingen hoog en is 302 meter hoog. Het observatiedek op de 84e verdieping biedt een prachtig 360-graden uitzicht op de skyline van Bangkok. Er is ook een restaurant op de 77e verdieping, waar bezoekers kunnen dineren terwijl ze het uitzicht op de stad bekijken. Het gebouw biedt ook accommodatie in de vorm van hotelkamers en suites op de bovenste verdiepingen. Verder zijn er winkels en conferentieruimtes beschikbaar voor zakelijke reizigers en evenementen. Het gebouw is zeker een bezoek waard voor zijn indrukwekkende hoogte en panoramische uitzichten op Bangkok. Bangkok is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Thailand en heeft in 2023 ongeveer 11 miljoen inwoners in de stad zelf en meer dan 17 miljoen inclusief het grootstedelijk gebied. Vanaf de hoogste verdieping is het mogelijk om de stad te overzien, waaronder de Menan-rivier en de Golf van Thailand in de verte. Het gebouw biedt een uniek uitzicht op Bangkok en de omgeving, en is daarom een populaire toeristische attractie.
All good things come in threes, as the saying goes - and now the third time it worked out with a beautiful sunrise :-)
The first time I didn't have an optimal position because I was too late and then just before sunrise a thick cloud covered the sun - no sun, no light. Literally overslept the second time because we had been shooting at the Delicate Arch the night before and now it finally worked. We were there around three hours before sunrise (4 a.m.) and had pole position. It was full moon and the first photos felt as bright as day. The moon set and so we were able to take a few star shots before the first photographers arrived around 5 a.m. Unfortunately, taking photos was out of the question then - I took some red-colored shots of the Mesa Arch - because everyone who arrived had to set their camera first - some with flashlights, many with headlamps and some even with flash - it got really crowded and God thankfully everyone was ready shortly before sunrise and so we were able to take some nice shots of this icon in the best light - including this wonderful colored glow of the Mesa Arch.
Alle guten Dinge sind drei sagt das Sprichwort - und jetzt beim dritten Mal hat es dann auch mit einem schönen Sonnenaufgang geklappt :-)
Beim ersten Mal hatte ich keine optimale Position, weil ich zu spät war und dann kurz Sonnenaufgang eine dicke Wolke vor die Sonne zog - keine Sonne - kein Licht. Beim zweiten Mal buchstäblich verschlafen, weil wir schon nachts davor Aufnahmen am Delicate Arch gemacht hatten und jetzt endlich hat es geklappt. Wir waren schon rund drei Stunden vor Sonnenaufgang dort (4 Uhr) und hatten die Pole-Position. Es war Vollmond und die ersten Fotos waren gefühlt taghell. Der Mond ging unter und so konnten wir ein paar Sternenaufnahmen machen, bevor dann gegen 5 Uhr die ersten Fotografen eintrafen. Leider war dann nicht mehr ans Fotografieren zu denken - habe einige rotgefärbte Aufnahmen vom Mesa Arch gemacht - weil jeder der ankam, erst einmal seine Kamera einstellen musste - einige mit Taschenlampen, viele mit Stirnlampen und einige sogar mit Blitzlicht - es wurde richtig voll und Gott sei Dank waren dann kurz vor Sonnenaufgang alle soweit fertig und so konnten wir ein paar schöne Aufnahmen von dieser Ikone bei bestem Licht machen - inklusive dieses wunderbaren farblichen Glühen des Mesa Arch.

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Foto presa amb una KMZ FT-2 soviètica, fabricada el 1965; Kodak Ektar 100.
Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
L'Ebre, vist des del pont vell de Mora d'Ebre. Aquest pont (ara de ciment, abans de ferro), fou volat abans de la batalla, pel que no es va fer servir. Els republicans construiren diversos ponts militars més amunt i més avall. Un d'ells estava situat cap a on el riu fa una corba.
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
Panoramic picture taken with a Soviet KMZ FT-2 camera, made in 1965; Kodak Ektar 100 film.
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
This is the river Ebro seen from the post-war bridge at Mora d'Ebre. This bridge was destroyed before the battle, so it was not used by the Republican forces. Instead they used several military timber or steel bridges, routinely bombed by the fascist aerial forces. One of these was located in that curve of the river.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.
This shot is mediocre and it could be sharper.. but it is fun to try something different once in a while.. I thought of Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" hence, the title.. me and my puppy (Ysabelle) are perfectly happy with each other (minus the times when i lose sleep over her crying). 😅

Intro - My life motto: killing & action brings me great erection
I never lost my precious time on election
In the youth I had a dream
To become a star in a Major League Baseball
Life path bring me to other direction
And now I am stacked in this crappy doll
I can still play with baseball bat and a ball
I can kick some jerks while listening
Metallica album Kill ‘Em All
I am a ballbreaker
The mean pain maker, I am a soul taker
Hey bitch throw the pitch
Let the fun begin
In this game I would always win
I would never become a movie star
Like Pierce Brosnan in a James Bond
But I can hit my enemies harder
Than a baseball player Barry Bonds
Bloody Baseball bring me so much excitement
I can already see against me new brutal indictment
P.s. Chucky recommend you a classic song Babe Ruth - Mexican.

"The Matterhorn (German), Monte Cervino (Italian) or Mont Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Its summit is 4,478 meters (14,690 ft) high, making it one of the highest peaks in the Alps.[2] The four steep faces, rising above the surrounding glaciers, face the four compass points. The mountain overlooks the town of Zermatt in the canton of Valais to the north-east and Breuil-Cervinia in the Aosta Valley to the south. The Theodul Pass, located at the eastern base of the peak, is the lowest passage between its north and south side.

The morning 7th of February I woke up to see Amsterdam covered in a coat of fresh snow. The snow fell in sudden flurries and gusts and turned the world white and wonderful. With the canals in the city and occasional high winds, there can be a nip in the air, but packing gloves and a scarf should keep you warm enough. There is something very beautiful about Amsterdam in the winter. It snowed for the second time this winter in Amsterdam. Because the temperature was -4 degrees Celsius the snow stayed. The real feel temperature was -11 degrees Celsius cause there was a strong wind and drifting snow. It got more than a few centimeters of snow. The best advice is to stay indoors and turn the stove up a bit. Or of course to go outside to take some nice pictures. The snow is a rare highlight in these February dark days, especially when you have small children. It is quite difficult to come up with something fun in these Covid-19 lock-down days. After a while, sitting indoors becomes quite monotonous for such a toddler. This is a welcome change. The snow also provides a lot of fun for children here in centre of Amsterdam. Snowball fight, make snowmen or go sledding. All fun activities that children do in this beautiful snowy world.
Those who think away for a while can imagine themselves in Hendrick Avercamp's world today. As one of the first landscape painters of the 17th-century Dutch school, he specialized in painting the Netherlands in winter. Some 400 years on, our image of life in the harsh winters of the Golden Age is still dominated by Avercamp’s ice scenes with their splendid narrative details of couples skating, children pelting each other with snowballs and unwary individuals falling through the ice. The snow is during the lock-down days an uninhibited winter fun in the streets of Amsterdam. Since the first snow had stuck to the ground, the neighborhood has turned out for a carefree winter entertainment. The next days it will keep on snowing. Expected more than 17 cm snow in Amsterdam. Enjoy a thick layer of snow in your own neighborhood.
Vanmorgen 7 februari werd ik wakker en zag Amsterdam bedekt met een laag verse sneeuw. De sneeuw die vannacht viel bedekte de wereld om ons heen wit en prachtig. Ik heb mijn camera gepakt en op pad gegaan in m'n buurtje. Ik geniet van het geluid van knarsende sneeuw onder mijn schoenen en het prachtige gezicht op de Amsterdamse grachtenpanden. Het is min vier graden en het blijft vandaag de hele dag sneeuwen. Met een stevige wind is de gevoelstemperatuur zelf -11 graden. Mijn handschoenen en m'n sjaal houden mij warm genoeg. Er is iets heel moois over Amsterdam in de winter. Amsterdam is bedolven onder dik pak sneeuw zoals hierboven op het Weteringstraat. Het beste advies is dan maar om lekker binnen te blijven en de kachel iets hoger te zetten. Of natuurlijk even naar buiten te gaan om wat mooie plaatjes te schieten. In Amsterdam heeft het nu voor de tweede keer deze winter gesneeuwd. Bij deze temperatuur blijft de sneeuw liggen. Er is meer dan enkele centimeters sneeuw gevallen. De sneeuw is een zeldzaam hoogtepunt in deze donkere dagen in februari, vooral als je kleine kinderen hebt. Het is best moeilijk om iets leuks te bedenken in deze Covid-19 lockdown-dagen. Binnen zitten wordt na een tijdje behoorlijk eentonig voor zo'n peuter. Dit is een welkome afwisseling. De sneeuw zorgt ook voor veel plezier voor kinderen. Sneeuwballengevecht, sneeuwpoppen maken of sleetje rijden. Allemaal leuke activiteiten die kinderen doen in deze prachtige besneeuwde wereld. Wie even wegdenkt, waant zich vandaag in de wereld van Hendrick Avercamp. De komende dagen blijft het sneeuwen. Verwacht meer dan 17 cm sneeuw in Amsterdam.
I had so much fun with the one can for macro Mondays I figured why stop. Not constrained to the 3" rule I thought I could work with the whole can. Sourcing empty cans was easier than I thought, a quick walk along a back road provided all I needed. It seems that after consuming a can of this stuff, the arm goes into motion mode that inevitably leads to the can winding up on the side of the road.
Each can was shot individually with my Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro with about a 6 image focus stack. They do seem to have a lot of potential for art. Three cans, a wavy window and yummy glow colors make this slider complete!
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS

This is the skyline of Metro Manila. The City of Manila is just one of the 16 cities that formally make up the metro. With 13 million population in a limited space, the metro is very dense and a breeding ground for the virus. And we are on a semi-lockdown again. Just like the picture, things are looking bleak.
I'll post a beach picture next time. Let us focus on things that make us happy 😊

Trying to catch up my delay ... (which has become very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.

France. Alpes. Savoie. Massif des Cerces. Photo prise lors d'une rando en boucle partielle effectuée en famille, au départ de Plan Lachat et en passant successivement par les endroits suivants : Les Mottets, Camp puis Col des Rochilles, Lac du Grand Ban, Lac Rond, Seuil des Rochilles, Lac de la Clarée, retour entre les 2 premiers lacs pour monter au Col des Cerces (2574m - point culminant de la rando), Lac des Cerces, puis retour aux Mottets et à Plan Lachat. C'est l'une des plus belles randos que nous ayons faites jusqu'à aujourd'hui et de très loin la plus belle que nous ayons faite en 2013. ❤️
Cet endroit m'a tellement plus que j'espère y retourner cet été 2021. 🙏
C'est d'ailleurs une randonnée ultra classique et très fréquentée, entre Valloire et le Galibier qui est souvent nommée la randonnée des 4 lacs ou des 3 lacs (si on retire le Lac de la Clarée ou le Lac des Cerces). On peut même voir un 5ème lac si le Lac des Mottets n'est pas à sec.
Notre séjour alpin en juillet 2013 a duré 2 semaines mais c'est la seule rando au cours de laquelle j'ai fait plus de 100 photos (et même plus de 200). Et c'est la seule rando où j'ai trouvé des photos à publier (celle-ci et plusieurs autres).
Cette photo est la seule de nos photos de montagne qui soit affichée sur un mur. Elle se trouve au-dessus de mon bureau et je la vois tous les jours ! Je souhaitais la poster depuis un moment et je suis content de la publier ENFIN ! 😊
La photo a été prise dans la montée au Camp des Rochilles.

France. Vosges. Alsace. Haut-Rhin. Photo prise lors d'une rando en boucle, effectuée seul, au départ de Katzenthal, en passant par le Neuberg, le Sommerberg, le Galtz et la croix de Meywihr. Comme le lendemain vers l'Ungersberg, j'ai pu y voir une ribambelle de parcelles de vignes teintées de magnifiques couleurs (jaune, vert et rouge).
Merci à tous les viticulteurs alsaciens de régaler nos yeux à chaque automne par leur travail acharné de toute l'année !!! 🙏😉
En 2019, je n'ai pas fait de rando dans les vignes alsaciennes pendant le magnifique mois d'octobre. Mais à la place j'ai découvert avec bonheur les environs du Hohneck à cette même période. En 2020, je n'ai pas encore pu profiter d'une belle journée ensoleillée depuis le début du mois. Certes, le mois n'est pas terminé mais c'est mal parti ...
Cette photo a été prise depuis la Croix de Meywihr. On y voit au 2ème plan le village de Kientzheim (qui se situe entre ceux de Kaysersberg et de Sigolsheim, juste avant l'entrée de la Vallée de Kaysersberg), devant les Monts de Sigolsheim. Et tout au fond on peut voir les 3 Châteaux de Ribeauvillé ainsi que le Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg. J'ai également mis 2 petits bonus en légende sur la photo. 😉
Can you see the Little Egret up there in the willow tree ? The banks of the stream are so dense with vegetation I didn't see him (or her) until he flew up from the opposite bank. This is another one taken with my iPhone 11 while out on a morning walk with Marnie very recently.
~ Edited in Topaz Studio with a lovely texture by Kerstin Frank applied in the new PicMonkey, which I'm still struggling with - as with everything else ! ~
Thanks for looking - and I hope the weather is nicer for you than it is for us here in the UK - rain, wind, flooding happening right now.
I hope you like this, anyway. Thanks for every view, comment, fave. All is appreciated very much.

El Mirador Massue en la esquina de Talcahuano y Tucumán (building with red cupola).
The building popularly known as Mirador Massue is located on the corner of Talcahuano and Tucumán streets, in front of Plaza Lavalle in the city of Buenos Aires. Designed in 1903 as a rental apartment building for David Costaguta, in 1989 it was partially demolished and remodeled to transform its use into rental offices, with only its well-known viewing tower surviving. Its current official name is Edificio Tribunales Plaza.

Helgoland is a German island in the North Sea.Helgoland was established around 4000 BC. an island due to rising sea levels after the last ice age. The island was colonized from Friesland in the 8th century. The current residents still speak a North Frisian dialect, the Helgolands or Halunder Freesk. It was incorporated into the Viking Empire. In 1720 a sandbank between Helgoland and the smaller island of Düne largely washed away due to a storm tide. The connection between the two islands was lost as a result. Heligoland remained in Denmark until 1814. The British conquered the island in 1807 from the Danes. The strategically important island. In 1890 the British exchanged Helgoland on Germany for East African Zanzibar. Emperor Wilhelm II converted Helgoland into a naval support point and it remained that way until after the Second World War. In the First World War all residents were forced to leave the island. At the end of World War II, a thousand airplanes from the Royal Air Force carried out a destructive bombing, dropping around seven thousand bombs, making the island uninhabitable and the population to be evacuated. In 1952 the population was allowed to return after long insistence.
The Helgoland museum offers a rich overview as to the history, the folklore and the nature of the island. Helgolander Franz Schensky (1871-1957) is one of the pioneers of black and white photography and has a permanent place in the history of German photography. Franz Schensky has his own place at the Helgoland museum. With his photos he takes you into the breathtaking world of the beauty of the North Sea. View of the west coast of Helgoland with the lighthouse, and its original church, built in 1685 on the Oberland. On the right the lighthouse built under English rule in 1811, demolished soon after the new lighthouse was built in 1902. The latter was destroyed in 1945. Photograph of Franz Schensky c. 1895.
Helgoland is een Duits eiland in de Noordzee. Helgoland werd rond 4000 v.Chr. een eiland door het stijgen van de zeespiegel na de laatste ijstijd. In de 8e eeuw werd het eiland vanuit Friesland gekoloniseerd. De huidige bewoners spreken nog steeds een Noord-Fries dialect, het Helgolands of Halunder Freesk. Het werd ingelijfd bij het Vikingrijk. In 1720 spoelde een zandbank tussen Helgoland en het kleinere eiland Düne door een stormvloed grotendeels weg. De verbinding tussen de twee eilanden ging daardoor verloren. Helgoland bleef tot 1814 tot Denemarken behoren. De Britten veroverden het eiland in 1807 op de Denen. Het strategisch belangrijke eiland. In 1890 ruilde de Britten Helgoland aan Duitsland voor het Oost-Afrikaanse Zanzibar. Keizer Wilhelm II bouwde Helgoland uit tot marinesteunpunt en dat bleef het tot na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. In de Eerste Wereldoorlog werden alle bewoners gedwongen het eiland te verlaten. Op het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog voerden duizend vliegtuigen van de Royal Air Force een vernietigend bombardement uit, waarbij circa zevenduizend bommen werden afgeworpen, waardoor het eiland onbewoonbaar werd en de bevolking moest worden geëvacueerd. In 1952 mocht de bevolking na lang aandringen terugkeren. Sindsdien leeft het eiland hoofdzakelijk van het toerisme. Het Helgoland-museum biedt een rijk overzicht van de geschiedenis, de folklore en de aard van het eiland. Je kunt ook genieten van films. De geschiedenis is opwindend omdat Helgoland is beïnvloed door Deense, Britse en Duitse inzittenden. Helgolander Franz Schensky (1871-1957) is één van de pioniers van de zwart-wit fotografie en heeft een vaste plaats in de geschiedenis van de Duitse fotografie. Franz Schensky heeft zijn eigenplek in het Helgoland-museum. Met zijn foto's neemt hij je mee in de adembenemende wereld van de schoonheid van de Noordzee.

The history of the town has been intimately linked to the highly-active Tungurahua volcano. In October 1999, all 17,000+ residents were forced to evacuate the city for weeks.
***
In 1999 the Tungurahua volcano was activated and the population of Baños was completely evacuated. Since that year, the Tungurahua remains active presenting major eruptions in 1999, 2000 and 2006.

I climbed this volcano (summit) in two days. One of the days (the last day), from 2 am to 7 am.
A huge sense of physical and mental achievement.

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more”
― Lord Byron
apologies to my friends for i haven't been
around much this week,
been weathering a nasty stomach virus,
i promise to catch-up today!
happy sliderssunday!

The vineyard had put on its beautiful autumn dress. A trail in front of the Roche de Solutré was waiting for my steps for a charming walk.

Un chemin sympathique
Les vignes avaient revêtu leur belle parure d'automne. Un chemin en face de la Roche de Solutré n'attendait que mes pas pour une balade charmante.
