Toruń is one of most attractive and historic towns in Poland.
It is famous for being the birthplace ( in 1474 ) of the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus whose epochal book, De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium is universally regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy.
In 1997 the old medieval quarter of Toruń comprising the Old Town ( 1233 ), the New Town ( 1264 ) and the Teutonic Knights Castle ( mid 13th c. ) was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for having preserved almost intact its original medieval street layout. Toruń is full of Gothic monuments of architecture, all built of brick, such as the Town Hall, The Leaning Tower, numerous churches and many burgher houses around the central market square and the surrounding streets.
If you ever are in Gdańsk on the coast, I recommend driving down to Toruń - it's only 2hrs away on the motorway - the place has a great artistic atmosphere and a lively cafe scene.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

A closeup of an old house in Bruges.
"Bruges became important due to the tidal inlet that was crucial to local commerce. This inlet was then known as the "Golden Inlet". Bruges received its city charter on 27 July 1128, and new walls and canals were built. In 1089 Bruges became the capital of the County of Flanders."

Color is life and fun 😃
Une course sans chrono, de 5 km A chaque km, un stand de couleur où les participants sont bombardés de poudre colorée : jaune - bleue - rose - violette - rouge et à l'arrivée, 5 stands avec les 5 couleurs. Le seul but étant de finir la course dans la joie et la bonne humeur, le plus coloré possible 😅
Environ 10'000 participants
The "Duhnen" leaving Cuxhaven to transport pilots to the station ship "Elbe".
The "Duhnen", her sister "Döse" and the station ship are built using SWATH hull technology, making them less susceptible to wave motion.

Captured in: Cape Elizabeth, ME
Seen here is an late afternoon capture of what is probably my favorite East Coast lighthouse -- the Portland Head Light.
This image was taken from the cliffs overlooking Portland Harbor in early September. The Portland light was constructed back in 1791, and is the oldest light in Maine.

"Portland Head Light" is an HDR image constructed from 3 separate shots, with a differential of 2 stops between images.
The resulting HDR image was processed using a combination of ACR, Photomatix, and Photoshop (includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Adjust, Clean, Denoise, and Glow).

Close-up of the Stachus Fountain.
The Karlsplatz is a round square in central Munich. The square was officially named Karlsplatz in 1797, but Munich natives seldom use that name, calling the square instead Stachus, after the former pub "Beim Stachus" that once was located there.
Even the U-Bahn and S-Bahn announcements use the unofficial name.
