Paradise Island is part of the Big Giftsun Island. This island is clearly visible from the beaches of Hurghada. The main attraction of the island is the rich underwater world!
These boats transport people from the yacht to the shore.

Trying to catch up my delay ... (which is still 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/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
France. Alpes. Département de l'Isère (38). Massif des Écrins. Vallée du Vénéon. Photo prise lors d'une randonnée en aller-retour effectuée en solo, au départ de la Bérarde, jusqu'au Refuge de Temple Écrins. C'était mon 17ème jour de rando sur les 18 jours où j'ai pu randonner lors de notre séjour alpin de 3 semaines pendant l'été 2022.
La photo a été prise en remontant le Vénéon sur sa rive droite, un peu au nord du Refuge du Carrelet.
Cette randonnée s'est déroulée dans un cadre absolument grandiose, foisonnant de sommets de plus de 3000m, dont certains très célèbres. Les 2 sommets que j'ai trouvés les plus photogéniques sont la Tête du Chéret (que j'ai choisie de mettre à l'honneur sur cette photo) et Les Bans (dont le Sommet Sud culmine à 3669m), qui domine le superbe Glacier de la Pilatte, où le Vénéon prend sa source.
Par contre, cette journée fut très éprouvante pour moi physiquement, et cela pour plusieurs raisons. D'abord parce que j'étais diminué par le COVID, avec le dos courbatu. Ensuite parce qu'il faisait chaud. Et enfin parce que la montée finale au Refuge de Temple Écrins était particulièrement raide et éprouvante (450m de dénivelé concentrés sur seulement 2km, soit une pente moyenne de plus de 20%). Mais grâce à la beauté des lieux et avec l'aide d'une boisson énergisante qui donne des ailes, j'ai réussi à monter jusqu'au refuge. Et cerise sur le gâteau, en plus de la magnifique vue panoramique sur le plan incliné du refuge, j'ai eu une 2ème récompense pour mes efforts, en ayant la chance de pouvoir observer une marmotte pendant mon pique-nique, et cela malgré la forte fréquentation des lieux. 🙏
NB : Je ne sais pas si vous voyez ce que je veux dire mais les 2 pentes de devant, le sentier et le cours d'eau forment presque une espèce de X. 😉

The Cathedral of Christ the King in Reykjavik, Iceland. It was built in 1929 and became a Basilica in 2000. The Protection of Life Bell is to the right and the Köllun is to the left. The bell had a defect so it was't installed. #Iceland #Reykjavik #CathedralOfChristTheKing #Basilica
PRUNETTO, one of the many small villages of the Langa. The town is located on the ridge between the Bormida Valley and the Uzzone Valley and is dominated by the 12th century Del Carretto Castle and the interesting 14th century Sanctuary of the Madonna del Carmine. Piedmont, ITALY.

Easter Sunday morning is a perfect time for wandering around the countryside - everyone is inside, having breakfast, or already finished it and is recuperating. So nobody is outside, nobody and nobody's car will jump into the landscape. Neat!
Taken with Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital camera, with vintage Tamron AF 24–70mm F3.3–5.6 Aspherical autofocus zoom lens. Adjusted levels and cropped, nothing more.
✨ Thank you all for pushing this photo into Explore at #381 at one point in time. Yay!
Monument Valley, Arizona
John Ford Point, popular filming location for westerns, with the table mountain Merrick Butte in the background.
It was a wonderful early morning in Monument Valley. I took the Scenic Loop Drive for the 3rd time, but it was the first time that I visited the John Ford Point - and I think it was worth while - well knowing that my photograph sells more of a wonderful illusion.

Monument Valley, Arizona
John Ford Point, beliebter Drehort für Western, mit dem Tafelberg Merrick Butte im Hintergrund.
Es war ein wundervoller früher Morgen im Monument Valley. Ich nahm den Scenic Loop Drive zum 3. Mal, aber es war das erste Mal, dass ich den John Ford Point besuchte - und ich denke, es hat sich gelohnt - wohl wissend, dass mein Foto eher eine wunderbare Illusion verkauft.
THROWING ROOTS
In the easternmost parts of the humid forest, the cordillera cypress and the coihue grow together.
However, here, the rock that emerges in these shallow soils where only these cypress specimens resist can be seen.
A much darker edit than my previous mono edit... an unposed portrait.
A beggar shot on the streets of Bath. Bath is such a rich city as English cities go and yet still there is this pain and suffering.... this poor man's anguish was evident in his eyes.
For me, this is one of the most beautiful places we visited on our tour of the southwest.

Civilization has forgotten what indigenous cultures always knew: all living beings have a soul. God doesn’t create disposable life forms.
When I photograph creatures, I tune into their essence & awareness, and share their indifference to what science believes about them.
Reptiles and amphibians obviously don’t know what a camera is, but some can sense when they’re being appreciated and loved. That’s partly why I’m able to get so close.
Odra river covered in morning, autumn fog. In the foreground in the center there is Opatowicki Weir. It connects two islands - the left shore is Opatowicka Island, while the right shore is Wielka Wyspa (The Big Island). On the horizon the city centre buildings can be seen.

The Royal Grand Palace is a complex of buildings at the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam and later Thailand since 1782. It consists of not only royal and throne halls, but also a number of government offices as well as the renowned Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It covers an area of 218,000 square metres and is surrounded by four walls, 1900 metres in length. After King Rama I ascended to the throne in 1782, the palace was built. Prior to this, the royal palace and centre of administration had been located in Thonburi, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. For various reasons, the new King considered the former capital to be unsuitable and decided to establish a new capital on the other side of the river. Admission fee is free of charge for Thais and 500 baht for foreigners. You'll need to wear culturally appropriate attire when visiting the Grand Palace in Bangkok. This means being well covered. Visitors should wear long skirts/trousers and sleeved shirts—basically anything that covers more than the lower arms and head. Fortunately, after the covid period, it is not yet busy with tourists. Thailand has just ended their quarantine policy. Face masks are no longer mandatory. Great to visit the Grand Palace one more time now and see the Prasat Phra Thep Bidorn, a corncob-shaped tower, called a prang, and Phra Mondop Library with green and blue mirrored tiles, on the upper terrace of Wat Phra Kaew.
The Royal Pantheon is located on the east side of the upper terrace near the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. In 1782, King Rama I founded the Chakri dynasty in Bangkok. This building with a corncob-shaped tower (called a prang) also called Prasat Phra Thep Bidorn. It is only open to the public on Chakri Day, which is celebrated on April 6. Next to the Royal Pantheon is the gilded Phra Mondop Library Phra Mondop. The monuments of the Royal insignia are four monuments containing the nine insignia of the kings of the Chakri dynasty. In 1882, on the centenary of Bangkok's founding, Rama V ordered the construction of three monuments in the shape of a butsabok throne to house images of previous kings' insignia. These insignia were based on the personal seals of the kings. A fourth was later added to house later kings. They surround the Phra Mondop on every corner. Each of the golden butsabok thrones is built on raised marble pedestals, on each side with inscriptions describing each king's contribution to the construction or repair of the temple itself. On each of the corners are two miniature gold multi-tiered umbrellas: the four on the top floor have seven tiers, and those on the bottom floor have five tiers. Around the monuments are bronze miniature elephants; these represent the white elephants that are important in the reign of every king.
De Royal Grand Palace is een gebouwencomplex in het hart van Bangkok, Thailand. Het paleis is sinds 1782 de officiële residentie van de koningen van Siam en later Thailand. Het bestaat niet alleen uit koninklijke en troonzalen, maar ook uit een aantal regeringsgebouwen en de beroemde Tempel van de groene Smaragd Boeddha. Het heeft een oppervlakte van 218.000 vierkante meter en is omgeven door vier muren van 1900 meter lang. Nadat koning Rama I in 1782 de troon besteeg, werd het paleis gebouwd. Daarvoor was het koninklijk paleis en het bestuurscentrum gevestigd in Thonburi, op de westelijke oever van de Chao Phraya-rivier. Om verschillende redenen vond de nieuwe koning de voormalige hoofdstad ongeschikt en besloot hij een nieuwe hoofdstad te stichten aan de andere kant van de rivier. De toegangsprijs is gratis voor Thais en 500 baht voor buitenlanders. In april 1981 gebruikte de plaatsvervangend commandant van het Thaise leger, generaal San Chitpatima, het paleis als zijn hoofdkwartier voor een poging tot staatsgreep tegen premier Prem. De staatsgreep mislukte mede door ingrijpen koning Bhumibol. Een paar uur later ontmoette generaal Prem echter koning Bhumibol in zijn paleis in Bangkok en de koninklijke familie en de premier vloog naar een legerbasis in Noordoost-Thailand. Premier Prem kondigde op de radio aan dat hij niet was afgetreden. Het Thaise leger trok zich weer terug uit het paleis. Gelukkig is het na de covid periode nog niet druk met toeristen. Thailand heeft zojuist hun quarantainebeleid beëindigd. Mondkapjes zijn niet meer verplicht. Geweldig om het Grand Palace nu nog een keer te bezoeken. Het Koninklijk Pantheon in het Grand Palace met een maïskolfvormige toren een prang genoemd bevindt zich aan de oostkant van het bovenste terras bij de tempel van de smaragdgroene Boeddha. In 1782 stichtte koning Rama I, de Chakri-dynastie in Bangkok. Dit gebouw, ook wel Prasat Phra Thep Bidorn genoemd, Het is alleen open voor het publiek op Chakri-dag, die op 6 april wordt gevierd. Naast deze sprang staat de vergulde Phra Mondop-bibliotheek. De Phra Mondop is versierd met 16 zuilen plus groene en blauwe spiegeltegels met kleine gouden beeldhouwwerk van Boeddha. Het is de belangrijkste bibliotheek voor de boeddhisten in het Grand Palace.

The art of "floating on a cloud" - Thames Barrier, London, UK
Old Pier 1 is located across the East River from Lower Manhattan and provides an unobstructed view of the New York City skyline. Even better, the many decaying pier supports in the water provide great visual interest for those looking for a unique photo of the city’s skyline and support coastal wildlife as well as protect the park from crashing waves.

La ciutat anglesa de Bath té tant el nom com la raó de ser en la seva font d'aigues termals, venerada ja des d'època pre-romana. En època imperial es coneixia com Aquae Sulis.
La font sagrada, la sorgencia de les aigues calentes i altament mineralitzades, es coneix avui en dia com King's Bath, i és una barreja d'elements romans i medievals. El nivell d'aigua actual es manté tal i com era en època romana, mostrant la vora irregular de la sorgencia arranjat pels romans. Les estructures superiors, amb ninxols, son d'època medieval, quan la font, abandonada des de la caiguda del imperi, retornà al seu nivell "salvatge", més alt. Això ha quedat marcat en la concreció mineral ataronjada. En aquests ninxols es situaven els banyistes medievals, dins l'aigua força calenta i a prop del "precipici". Coses de l'edat mitjana.
====================
The English city of Bath has both its name and its raison d'être in its source of thermal waters, revered since pre-Roman times. In imperial times it was known as Aquae Sulis.
The holy spring, the source of the hot, highly mineralized waters, is known today as King's Bath, and is a mixture of Roman and medieval elements. The current water level remains as it was in Roman times, showing the irregular edge of the spring arranged by the Romans. The upper structures, with niches, are from the medieval period, when the source, abandoned since the fall of the Empire, returned to its "wild", higher level. This has been marked by the orange mineral concretion along the walls. In these niches stod the medieval bathers, in the rather hot water and close to the hell's scalding "precipice". Going fully medieval.

Vista de la ciutat anglèsa de Bath des de Alexandra Park, al sud.
La vista és força espectacular, però deu ni do, la pujadeta...
========================
The city of Bath seen from Alexandra Park. The viewpoint is quite nice, but the path that leads to it is quite steep.
It was a beautiful evening and sunset at this ruin near Motovun.
Spent around two hours taking photos here.
