After I had spent a day in Canada's Algonquin National park,
it had become late when I eventually found a hotel in a tiny village.
Whilst I unloaded my car, the dusk turned an intense pink
and all I had to do was to take my camera
and go a few steps towards the lake and the old landing stage.

On my Scotland holiday, I had spent some nice days on the Isle of Skye, off the northwest Scottish coast.
When I was back on the main land, I was amazed to see this island in the distance
behind the lighthouse when it cleared up.

On an overcast day, I was on my way to Stockholm, driving south of the Mälar Lake.
I was looking for a shortcut to the north, but could not find a bridge.
When I reached the dead end, I was rewarded with this unique, tranquil scenery.

On a ferry passage from Frederikshavn (Denmark) to Larvik (Norway),
I had ample time to watch the seagulls.
And it took me time to get this photo showing nothing else than the bird and the deep blue sky.
|
When the ferry from Porto Santo left for Madeira in the last evening light,
it was passing a small lighthouse with a flashing light.
I concentrated on releasing the shutter when the green light was on.
|
When I visited Madeira's west coast, I stopped at a teahouse.
In front of it, a terrace laid in the sunshine, more than 300 m above the sea level.
I relished the view, the sun and the faint sound of the surf.
