I found this on my way to a Danube Delta Tour but I have no idea what is it or how is it called because it wasn't appearing on the map, nor being indicators. But it looks like a water tower or something like this which nowadays is being home for hundreds of different birds that are living inside of the dome and which flew away once I approached to take some pictures. :)
This majestic view can be found near "Kufstein" in-midst of the Austrian Alps, Tirol. As the sun disappears to distant shores, colors go nuts in these mountains. Blues and purple take over and paint the canvas in beautiful compositions. Distant layers fade in haze and add a certain depth into the frame. I love these layers. Kufstein, Tirol. Austria 2020.
Beautiful colours!
The emblematic entrance for the ancient Jewish district of Seville (Andalusia, Southern Spain) has been the stage for movies on more than one occasion. When photographing it in long exposure, I was lucky to capture a blackbird (upper left corner), which was immortalized in four flight positions...

Lake Ohrid, Macedonia
Ohrid is Macedonia's number one tourist destination and the town can get quite crowded. Lake Ohrid, however, is quite large and it is not hard to find a quiet spot to go for a swim or just enjoy the views on the crystal-clear waters.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.
Located on Rua Jose do Canto in the northern part of Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel, Portugal, just a short walk from the famous Parque Atlantico Shopping Mall, Jose do Canto Botanical Garden occupies an area of almost 8 ha and it is home to more than 3,000 species of plants and trees from all over the world. There is a statue of the founder Jose do Canto close to the entrance gate.
Dunyvaig Castle built on Islay, Scotland is a castle dating back to the 12th century AD when it was built atop a wooden Fort. Its ruins now overlook Lagavulin Distillery. An amazing relic on the seashore.
Superb photo! Congrats :)

This is the beautiful village of Uri , in central Switzerland driving through Switzerland we decided to stop here for a break for a couple of nights we wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this village and the mountain views were just perfect , picturesque and tranquil village just great for rest time.
Venice , Italy what a interesting and bizarre continent of Italy a town with no roads not something that i was use to , well at least the air was clean and you didn't have to look left and right , it's a city on water anywhere you need to go is done by boat along the canals. I loved Venice with it's historic attractions and gorgeous canals it's one of Italy's most famous attractions.
The Teatro Anatomico was built in the mid 16th century, and is one of the most important buildings in Bologna Italy. This is the Stabat Mater Lecture Hall, and used to be the law lecture room. Many of the law collections locked away in the cabinet dates back to many centuries old. Today, visitors are free to walk around, and sit to admire the paintings and coat of arms which are as old as the University itself.
Weißenkirchen in der Wachau is a small village located at the Danube in Lower Austria and well-known for wine-growing. From my hometown Krems it is just about 15 minutes to Weißenkirchen. I took this photo on a morning hike approximately 4 weeks ago.
Pier Towers
It was November when we visited Withernsea, the North East of England. The weather was dreadful. Windy and wet, hence the image is b&w to reflect on the grim mood of the scenery.
However, the sight would have been wickedly gorgeous otherwise. The pier Towers act as a gate to the beach with the steps going both directions. Towers look like a castle from the coast.
And of course the most significant part of this image - the landmark is standing here since 1877!
This night photo corresponds to a theatrical representation in the Plaza Mayor (Main Square) of the Spanish city of Valladolid. During the summer, it is common that this square is used for showing theatre plays.
One of the most imponent waterfalls I've seen, somewhere in the south shore of Iceland. This shot was taken in the last days of January, and it was freezing cold!
Close up of the doors of Milan Cathedral, Italy. Can you imagine how long it took to complete them? The doors are huge and all sections have intricate details engraved. It is sad to say that no one will take the time to do work like this these days.
