Beautiful Picture !

Made me remember my time in Slovenia. Not only Bled, but the all country of Slovenia is a treasure. It's has everything: scenic mountains, a "little Tuscany", the Balkan spirit and tranquility, a stunning wildlife and an underrated gastronomy. 100% in my Europe top 5.

This shot I took in Puno 🇵🇪 gave me literal chills when I finished it. This is why I’m a photographer and not an accountant (sorry if you’re an accountant).

You only need to go to Verdun today to understand the weight of this battle, this bumpy land, these cemeteries, the monuments "aux morts" - paying tribute to the dead.
18 December 1916: The Battle of #Verdun ended. French forces suffered 377,000 casualties, to Germany's 337,000. #History #WWI

Blue & yellow macaw, not native to Costa Rica. Probably had once been a pet #travel

Day 11 of #ArtAdventCalendar: One of the wildlife highlights of my year was discovering this Great Horned Owl nest early in the spring. I kept an eye on Mom sitting on the nest for weeks and was starting to think she had been unsuccessful. I couldn't have been more wrong! #birds #owls

Deep in the mountains there's a world of untold beauty. It changes in matters of seconds, never to be repeated. Patagonia's Cerro Paine Grande, towering 2.6 km above, emerges in a spectacle of the eternal fight between light & darkness.
